Lady of Slaughter

When the sun god Ra grew old, his human subjects rebelled against him, so he sent his daughter Sekhmet to punish them. Going further than was planned , Sekhmet took on the task with such fury that Ra feared she would exterminate the human race. In order to save humanity and end the destruction, Ra filled jugs with a mixture of beer and pomegranate juice and scattered them across the battlefield. Thinking the red liquid was human blood, Sekhmet greedily consumed every drop she could find, quickly becoming so drunk that she was unable to continue the slaughter.

Although primarily a goddess of war and vengeance, Sekhmet has another side as a goddess of healing who wards off plagues and pestilence. She heals warriors of their wounds and is especially revered for curing fractures . As the daughter of Ra, Sekhmet is also a goddess of fire. She is the sister of Bastet, Hathor, and Maat, and the wife of Ptah.

Sekhmet appears as a woman with the head of a lioness, wearing a long dress soaked red with blood and rosettes over each breast. Occasionally she is depicted with the solar disk of her father Ra atop her head.

Barbarians revere Sekhmet for her destructive rages, and fighters and magi worship her as their patron in battle. Sekhmet's priests are both male and female, and are skilled warriors as well as healers.
