The ancient Egyptians honored all cats. They were worshiped as long ago as 3000 BC. Cats were considered to be mighty and bold, and held sacred. Two goddesses in the Egyptian pantheon were Bast and Sekhmet, visually with the aspect of a lioness. Bast, the goddess of cats, was extremely popular. She was a protective goddess, and people would wear amulets with her likeness for good luck. Bast was also Ra’s faithful and beloved cat. As cats are naturally nocturnal, around the time of the Middle Ages cats became associated with witchcraft. Many people at this period believed what they didn’t understand, and were highly superstitious, so cats received a bad reputation as the witch’s familiar. Today we love them for exactly who they are. A tribute to your loving feline friend, this talisman charm will make you smile every day. Clasp closure for secure & easy fastening. Charm necklace, bracelet & anklet sold separately.
