Why do you like Sekhmet?

She is usually associated with the Eye of Ra.  Ra the sun God had an energetic component called "sekhem" (often addressed as exalted sekhem).  The 't' ending to words  means female.  So Sekhemet or Sekhmet means she is the female embodiment of solar energy.  She has a wrathful aspect in this respect

 

Do you see a relationship between this and Hathor  ?

Yes indeed though Hathor has the cow aspect which more benign - her name means 'house of horus' or at least that is how it is usually translated.  The word for 'house' which is 'hwt' actually means the enclosure of a temple ... thus sacred ground.  She is a very ancient goddess and probably originally the sky consort of Horus (who himself was a sky god).  This probably older than the Heliopolitan sun cult of Ra which by the 4/5th dynasties had become prominent.  Sometimes Horus and Ra are conflated or become composite gods such as Ra-Horakhty etc sometimes the 'eye' or consort is One of a number of goddeses including even Isis depending on the locality of the tradition quoted.

Yes, I have seen Hathor related to 'the eye ' as well as Sekhmet .  The reason I asked is I  see that many people have a view of Hathor in her other aspects  ; 'benign'  .  Some say the more active or even wrathful aspect of her was Sekhmet .  But I did a practice for years on end -  'the 4 stations of the Sun '  - with adoration / invocation /meditation  at  dawn,  noon,  sunset and midnight , each day .  The noon position was ruled by Hathor  and seemed at first misplaced  ... especially here in summer with the fierce noonday sun , I imagined the same in Egypt .  However looking at a more traditional analysis , the placement  makes a lot more sense .

Congrats on doing that for years - what results did you get? If you are able to share.

LOTS !   I think if one sticks to a meditation 4 times a day for years on end , no matter what it is , you gonna get some remarkable results   , 

 

But you already know about all this     let's test your memory ; 

 

Waaaaaaaaaaaaay back  , when I was a DB tadpole   and describing this in detail ... leaving thre note at midnight for myself 

 

then you pipped in saying  " I left those notes  "     

 

remember  ? 

 

Anyway I could recount it  as it was a very interesting experiment with  a few varied results .  But I think we should check with  Electric Sekhmet  first  , as the OP  .

 

or we could discuss elsewhere ?

I should mention it was not 4 x a day , every single day for all those years . I did it on and off for  many many years .  Once I was on a type of magical retreat / house minding for about 3 months , I made  a point of  not missing any , 4 x day each day .

 

Sometimes I would be going good with an unbroken record   and then mess that up .  Sometimes I would neglect it for a few  weeks and then come back to it .  The longest absence during those years  would have been up to several months , then I would go back to it .
