Sekhmet Power Ritual:
Nepthys Power Ritual:
Below, there will be the quoted post of JG Karnonnos on both these Goddesses.
Nephthys, known in the Goetia as Bathin, is an extremely important Goddess ruling over very important processes of Life and Death. She is represented in the Egyptian pantheon in the form of Nephthys and is one of the foremost Goddesses.
It is no exaggeration to say Nephthys’ prominence in all facets of Egyptian religion was second only to Isis [Astarte]. Although Nephthys is considered to be a highly mysterious and enigmatic Goddess in the contemporary imagination due to a general lack of understanding of Her symbolism, the record of the Egyptian household, palace, temple, tomb, hieratic document, and sets of sacramental objects has Her imagery emblazoned upon them. Even as far back as the Old Kingdom, Nephthys plays a highly prominent role.
Understanding why this is the case means understanding part of the intrinsic relationship of Isis and Nephthys. The association conveys the duality of both home life and of life and death. The two Goddesses are constantly portrayed together, as Nephthys is referred to as being the sister and daughter of Isis, but additionally as the minister, the midwife, the nursing mother, and the twin of Isis.
Her name in Egyptian, Nebot-Het, means ‘the Delineation of the House’ or, more simply, ‘the Mistress of the House.’ Accordingly, Nephthys was considered to embody the inner spiritual sanctum of the home.

As a Demoness, She is married to Set. This marriage also contains several mysteries tied to the theme of the home. Following on from defeating one’s purely basic nature (one of the themes of Set), by taking a step into the boundaries of the Temple via dedication and opening the Chakras, one’s former life dies. The door to the state of ignorance is forever closed: the Temple after Initiation is the new house. Set therefore represents the husband ushering in the devotee to the new house of life, while Nephthys represents the wife of the household ready to welcome a guest.
The character of Nephthys as the ‘Ǫueen of the Dead’ or ‘Ǫueen of the Night’ in lieu of her marriage to Set is another aspect of Her powers and a different type of hieratic function relating to Her role in the Astral Realm. Both the home and death represent a private sphere of life with boundary lines often connected to motherhood, as in the symbolism of the 4th House in Astrology. Nephthys thus guides souls of the dead and projectors on the Astral which is exactly why Bathin as a Demon is said to take the practitioner to every region they wish.
Her presence was used to mark the boundary zone of temples, tombs, and other sacred places. Nephthys was therefore commonly represented on one of the two pylons (pillars) opening a temple, while Isis would be represented on the other. For any worshipper entering the temple, Isis and Nephthys would appear as the Queen of Life and the Queen of Death, respectively, to greet them. Both pylons would be aligned with the horizon.

Nephthys is understood by Egyptologists to be the Goddess of the Air. The Chakra of Venus, the Middle Chakra, is ruled by air and fire. This Chakra deals with using the astral body. The symbolism of levity and death connected to this Chakra (upon death, one’s soul exits the body through it) is in parallel to Nephthys’ rulership of the lower realms of the Astral, where many of the dead inhabit, a realm that only a few living people have access to. In Egyptian religion itself, Nephthys was often called upon to intercede and protect the souls of the dead in front of Ma'at.
In tandem, Set rules over elements of the visible world, which is a world with the majority of humanity totally blinded in ignorance. Consequently, Set and Nephthys are equated with the underworld, darkness, and the night, being one of the male and female principles of these matters in the same manner that Thoth and Seshat represent knowledge.

As the Ǫueen of the Dead, Nephthys is notably associated with Isis and Anubis, the child of Nephthys. As the child of Nephthys and Osiris’ affair in mythology, Anubis becomes the Lord of the Dead and enacts the decrees of the two Deities, carrying out all the bindings and synchronicities involved in life and death. These include the union of matters necessary for the individual to continue incarnating, like matters of race and health, a parallel to the internal processes that Nephthys creates in the soul for the ‘Second Birth.’
Many other mystical processes are associated with Nephthys who, is also called the ‘Binderess’ and ‘Nurse’ in Ancient Egyptian, as she represents many processes and alchemical matters of uniting the body and soul together for the ‘Second Birth,’ a process overseen by Isis (Astarte). In this context, the House of Nephthys does not merely represent a physical place but the body and soul itself, supported by the pillar.
She is associated often with Seshat, enacting Her decrees of reality and acting as a deputy to the Goddess of Fate.
SYMBOLS OF NEPHTHYS

Firstly, the visual symbolism of Nephthys being the identical twin to Isis shows a code involving the Ka or Astral Body, which is the ethereal ‘twin’ of the mortal living body and moulds itself to the shape of the physical body in each incarnation. Often, the most visible difference is in the colors of their clothing, with Isis wearing brighter and Nephthys wearing darker tones.

The two sister Goddesses were associated with the lamentation or wailing Ritual of Egyptian funerals. Two female priestesses (She of the Kites) were chosen free of bodily and spiritual defect to conduct this funerary rite dressed as Isis and Nephthys to ensure the soul of the deceased would continue to live peaceably.
As with Isis, Nephthys was represented by the kite and shown with wings, representing levity and the ability to project in the Astral. Unlike Isis, however, Nephthys was distinctly associated with scavenger birds and the harsh desert. This sprawling desert represented the ‘domain’ of Set and Nephthys, with Set ruling during the day and Nephthys at night.
She is portrayed with the symbol for the boundary and basket representing the active connection of the soul atop Her head, while Isis wears a throne. The basket and house components of Nephthys name show the Grail of the Solar Chakra after the dew of the Pineal Gland is activated and drips onto it. In line with this, Nephthys is associated with the spitting flame.
Nephthys’ headdress and the Hieroglyph of Nephthys’ name represent another code. If you look closely, it resembles a pillar and a pylon in itself.

In an Egyptian tomb, the King and Queen meditation is represented. Here, Isis and Nephthys anoint Amon Ra (wearing the guise of Khnum), representing the Solar Chakra and major life-force being activated via the dew of the Pineal Gland. JG NakedPluto pointed out that the heart shape inside the human head is also given as a code by the arms of the Goddesses.

As Plutarch records, both Isis and Nephthys were typically shown on the sistrum with one face of Isis on one side and the other with Nephthys’ likeness, often interchangably with Hathor. Nephthys is also occasionally shown with the crown of Ma’at adorned with two feathers, illustrating the ability for Her to intercede for the dead.
NEPHTHYS AND THE ENEMY
The Book of Revelation provides a striking parallel to how Nephthys is represented in the Goetia as the Demon named Bathin, depicted as a male knight on a pale steed.
The fourth seal is the Middle Chakra. This part of the Bible is alchemical in the nature of its curses and is intended to assert the primacy of the Hebrew 'right' over death and all its matters. The horse is symbolic of Her rulership of the Astral Realm. Another code here is that χλωρός as a word in Koine Greek means greenish-pale and is often indicative of rotting, but also reinforces the visual connection to the Middle Chakra.
Many of the representations of Death as a male figure on a horse in ‘Western’ culture thus come from this Hebrew understanding.
Note the similarity:
We of the Joy of Satanas greet the Goddess Nephthys warmly as our own understanding increases, particularly the understanding of life and death in full gravity. May Nephthys return to Her prominent and correct place in guiding humans in life as much as the role She eternally plays in helping the dead.

Sekhmet is known as the personification of Power as a Goddess. Represented in Egypt as a fierce lioness, Sekhmet rules over war, destruction, extreme rage, discord, medicine, plagues, and motherhood.
She is often represented with the Pharaoh as a protective deity during times of war and invoked to protect the Pharaoh during times of strife. Sekhmet is used as an aegis on objects signifying protection, and many of the facets of Sekhmet relate to the willingness to destroy in creation. Along with Her son Maahes, the God Khepu, and the Goddess Neith, Sekhmet is the most prolific war Deity in Egypt. To this day, door knockers are often adorned with lion or lioness figures as a vestige of Her influence.

Her cult was centered in Leontopolis, or ‘the City of Lions,’ called Taremu (Place of the Fish) by the Egyptians, the latter name involving one of Azazel’s mysteries. Bastet’s cult also was a major focus of this city, which hosted a gigantic festival. Sekhmet, as the consort of Ptah, was also the patron Goddess of Memphis, the most sprawling city in the world at that point, meaning Her importance to the Egyptian state was supreme.
Sekhmet in day-to-day life is represented as the destroyer of lies and seemingly paradoxically the creator of strife, including rivalry and competition for further development. She was invoked by rulers to uphold their oaths correctly and to be held accountable to the Gods. If the Pharaoh did not rule Egypt with wisdom, She would use terrifying power to ruin him. Likewise, plagues were associated with Her judgement of the land.
For surgeons, they would pray to Sekhmet prior to conducting surgery, as destruction was seen as a necessary act to get rid of disease. She was also associated with relieving epidemics and plagues, particularly those on a national level, but in day-to-day life, any disease afflicting children. Mothers would often pray to Sekhmet to relieve diseases such as smallpox. The karmic nature of disease was tied to Sekhmet’s attributes as Punitrix.
This is not the only signification, as many of Her functions relate to the deepest aspects of the occult. Sekhmet represents the powers of the Kundalini in its latent and feminine form as a dispositor of the Great Serpent, Satan. Her name, derived from ‘sakhemu’ or serpent power in Ancient Egyptian, represents this mysterious power. The sakhemu form of a person was meant to represent their idealized, perfected, and truly human state, in other words, the potential for what they can become.
In Egyptian sources, Sekhmet is known for her fiery breath, boiling like white-hot coals, and dwelling in the depths. She was also associated with struck white flint, inflamed boils, flashing visions and other visual codes relating to crisis.
Being the Destructrix of Lies and an incarnation of the Eye of Re, Sekhmet is a deputy of Azazel and enforces His decrees relating to Truth, Wisdom, and Understanding as listed in the Satanic Virtues, along with enforcing decrees on all matters related to Him. In the primary story involving Sekhmet, the Eye of Re sent Hathor down to Egypt to punish the impure humans who followed Set into the desert and disobeyed the Gods. Sated with blood from destroying the impure, Hathor transformed into Sekhmet. Several other Goddesses also interchangeably transform into Sekhmet.

This primary mythology involving Sekhmet indicates the necessity of purifying the bad karma and dross (represented in the iniquitous humans) of the Chakras (Gods), aura, mind, and soul before the Kundalini can ascend properly in the Initiate and to have enough energy to be able to attempt this process. If achieved, the Serpent passes through each of the cleansed Chakras (Gods) before reaching its apex point in the Crown Chakra.
Her bloodlust is only abated when Thoth, with words of power, directs Her back to the pool of beer stained with red ochre (the Base Chakra) in preparation for the true rising, where She is reunified with Re and perfected, an always-occurring process with Kundalini in its final stages.
The point of the visual codes in this story is to point out that if a purified soul and mind are not achieved, chaos and peril will result with any attempted rising of this imperceptibly powerful force, a force that can drive unprepared individuals insane or even kill them. Sekhmet’s violent symbolism in slaughtering humans serves as a vivid symbol. If the powers of ignorance are not crushed in accordance with the Laws of Ma’at, the soul will succumb to the negative manifestations of the domain of Set and fall under the forces of the material realm.
Sekhmet also represents the importance of harmony and balance in this process, as decreed by Azazel and Astarte. Physically, it is for this reason that yoga and breathwork are pursued by the Initiate to direct the serpent properly. Thoth using the words of power shows how vibration can affect the soul and alter a precarious path.
If the serpent is able to ascend with little trouble and is in synchronicity with Set’s 144 Laws (the 144,000 Nadis of the soul), the powers of both Gods become an unstoppable force for ascension in full cooperation. Set erects the active serpent of His Father, pushing it towards Eden.
All of these allegories also convey the importance of using proper pace in advancement and not forcing development—rushing can result in burnout or destruction, inviting the wrath of Sekhmet, the magnetic force of the serpent.
In Egypt, Sekhmet has the powers of the Black Land, evocative of Her pulling on and materializing the realm of expanded infinite consciousness (ruled by Bastet). The two Goddesses were sometimes fused into one entity by the Egyptians for this reason.
In line with accessing the powers of the Kundalini, Sekhmet also represents the pulling together (magnetism) of all the bodies to attain Godhood and the invincible, activated aspect of the serpentine power of the soul that fuels the ability to continue incarnating. In this regard, she stands in contrast to Nephthys, who binds together the preliminary methods for ascension.
That is another reason Sekhmet is portrayed so commonly with the Pharaohs or God-Men of Egypt: as the symbolic wife of the Pharaoh, She stands as a symbol of their divine ascension when they are righteous. Her marriage to Ptah likewise shows the connection of the Pineal Gland and its role as the center of occult power in the brain in relation to the serpent, among other codes.
Sekhmet was also associated with prominent individuals associated with ascension cults such as Imhotep who came to be recognised as Her son. In this role, She stands as the fierce Guardian of the philosopher and the initiate.
SYMBOLS OF SEKHMET
View attachment 4710
Sekhmet is represented with the head of a lioness. The visage of the lioness demonstrates Her fierce commitment to protecting the divine order of Ma’at. Another element commonly used in Sekhmet’s imagery is the sun disk adorned with the serpent or uraeus. This is not just a symbol of the serpent enlightenment but a reminder of Her being a dispenser of Re’s powers and for rulers to exercise their power wisely.
The symbol of the lioness also reveals several things about the nature of the feminine in tandem with the lion. Sekhmet represents the principle that these forces require a rigid counterpart. If a lion is a weakling or a corrupted leader, it is inevitable the lionesses will leave for a new pride. This is one of the inevitable dark sides of nature and the magnetic principle.
Yet Sekhmet also serves as a warning for both men and women alike to use wisdom and virtue in exercising their relations with one another, lest they be subjected to Set’s Laws of Nature and be destroyed. Too much imbalance in one direction will lead to the entropic destruction of a civilized state of affairs, as men and women are ideally meant to cooperate in a balance that is always difficult to maintain when one sex cannot understand the other. Likewise, any citizen will abandon rulers who do not exhibit strength.
She is also depicted with the Was—a long, thin staff associated with the narrow sushumna channel of the soul, often adorned with a lotus representing the Crown and the union with the Mother Goddess. The right fist grasping this staff, however, also signifies the ruling power of Beelzebul and His dominion over the visible universe.

As Isis and Nephthys are portrayed together constantly, so are Sekhmet and Bastet equated. One major reason why Sekhmet is typically represented as a lioness while Bastet is represented as a domestic cat involves a certain delineation of their powers. Bastet, the Ǫueen of All Powers, represents the latent powers as they exist in every advanced being, while Sekhmet represents their powerful and ferocious activation.
Bastet is also equated with the night and the Moon, while Sekhmet is equated with the day and the Sun. Both cats and lions are crepuscular animals. The lioness and tigress are the most fearsome of all female animals and represent the apex of feline evolution and wildness, while cats represent sophistication and contemplation among animals kept by humans.
Occasionally, however, Bastet is represented as a lioness and Sekhmet as a cat, confusing Egyptologists. Sekhmet is sometimes additionally represented by scorpions, indicating the association with tenacity and vengeance.
View attachment 4713
Her statues were copiously produced as protective items during times of disease or crisis. In just the past few years, Egyptologists have discovered hundreds of statues of Sekhmet, crafted with such striking skill and synchronicity that conventional historians cannot explain how they were made. They were made from red diorite (associated with protection) and commonly had a black slate-like color with a reflective finish.
We honor the mighty and powerful Sekhmet through participating in Her Ritual. Life often being struggle and war means we are fortuitous to be under the awe-inspiring aegis of Sekhmet as a growing and thriving community. May Her powers protect everyone in the Joy of Satanas and ensure our lustrous pathway to ascension.
