68 Adorations to Bast 02/04/2012
I rarely go in for internet memes and such nonsense but I cannot resist the spate of "Adorations" that is going around, courtesy of Dionysian devotee Sannion (thehouseofvines.wordpress.com). There are over a dozen sets of various Adorations to various Gods going around now, so I am going to add my own to the mix. I have long had issues with Bast, largely due to poor experiences with a couple of Her worshippers. It's time I got over it and made peace with this magnificent Goddess. We are responsible after all for our shortcomings, not the Gods which we serve. So, in honor of Bast, I offer these devotions. 68 Adorations to Bast I adore You, feline Goddess.
