Sekhmet and the Goddesses

Reality leaves a lot to the imagination.

About Me

I owe Ra a lot, life actually. My husband Ptah is a generous patron of the artisans. I work alongside so we do more philantropic work in Ankh-Tawy (the Greeks call it Memphis), although it can be quite dead around here. The apathy can be overwhelming.Thutmosis III has decided to send an envoy to Petra to meet with the Nabateans so we can negotiate wider access to the spice road. That Thutmosis, what a gluttonous nesu. (Well the Greeks and the Romans call him a pharaoh -I believe that's their proper name for a king.) Thutmosis's greatest fear is to die in a foreign land. He believes if he dies in a foreign country he will not be adequately prepared for his journey into the Afterlife.

My Interests

From time to time unleashing my wrath on deserving subjects, healing the souls of worthy subjects, basking in the sun, playing senet and hounds and jackals, going for cruises on the Nile River, applying gilded honey dust on my skin, writing on papyrus dancing in wild abandon to the sound of drums and tambourines.
