Bast Sistrum

Chants, songs, incense; the ringing jingle of the sistrum was central to Egyptian goddess worship. We have recreated this Egyptian sacred rattle to glorify Bast. Its tinkling evokes energy and a mood of good cheer. Egyptian Priestesses used sistrums to create a circle of protection around themselves and the deity image and to banish unwanted negative energy. Bast, the Sacred Cat, symbolized the moon in its function of making a woman fruitful, with swelling womb. She was also the Egyptian goddess of pleasure, music, dancing and joy. 11" copper, steel and resin sistrum, black gold color finish. #BS
