Hymn to Bastet

Mau Bast Merit Netcheru (Lady Bast beloved of the gods) I Rahotep, call to you
Mighty Lady of the East, Right eye of Ra.

Thank you Beloved daughter of Ra for the blessings you bestow on me your priest
Rahotep everyday.

Thank you for your love Most Powerful Mother. Thank you for the Peace you bring
into my home, your temple, most High Bastet, Dweller in the High Temple.
I am renewed by your Blessings each day, enkindler of new life, Beloved Lady of
Bubastis who grants your creation Zep-Tepi each day.

You are the Concealed One who shows me love and affection and who grants me
pleasure allowing me to experience my deepest fulfilment.

My heart rejoices in your presence like the Lotus praises Ra at each new day.
Lady of Springtime that rejoices the people, thank you for rejoicing me your priest
Rahotep!

I Love you beautiful Bast, powerful One, Soul of Isis. I make offerings to you
Flame of the Sun, Daughter of Delight, Enkindler of Passion, Infinite Fulfilment
Made Manifest.

Bast! [Chant 7 x times while shaking the Sistrum]
