Walk like an Egyptian! - Due January 22nd, 2023

[pancake machine]

So much great art so far! I've got two cards done and ideas for two more. So please sign me up as well.

The first two are goddesses. Taweret - Goddess of childbirth and fertility. The second is Nephthys associated with temple ritual, mourning, and beer.

Wonderful cards, pancake machine. I'll sign you up.

Wow pancake machine - how wonderful to know that the Egyptians were enlightened enough to have a goddess of beer. I went back and learned that she didn’t object to unlimited consumption of beer. This might be one goddess to worship! I wouldn’t complain if I received that card of her!

You need to remember that in ancient times cats were worshipped as gods, and they have not forgotten, even if we may have.

Cats, being associated with the goddess Bastet, were fed, protected, cared for, and revered in Ancient Egypt.
When one of the Temple cats died, people expressed their sympathy and piety by paying a fixed amount to cover the costs of mummification of the deceased temple cat. Numerous Temple Cats have been found in archaeological digs.
.....Unfortunately for the legend, in1990 one of the cat mummies in the Rosicrucian Egyptian Museum was x-rayed and there was no cat inside the mummy wrappings. What a cat-tastrophy
