A book of prayers/hymns, rituals, poetry, food ritual recipes, short stories, and even artwork for Bast worship especially feline adoration. This is a lovely collection to add to a cat person's library, especially for someone who works with Bast. If you'll like to know more about Bast in the perspective of Her devotees, this will be the right book for you. I bought this book to understand Bast in worship and after reading it, I have a lot more better understanding of Her than I did before reading it.
Most of the short stories featuring Bast were very peculiar, but unique and inspiring. Much different from the other devotional books from Bibliotheca Alexandrina that I own. It was also interesting having ritual food recipes which I at first thought were cat food recipes! Unfortunately, I will not be able to make them due to my strict diet. I enjoyed the Bast hymns/prayers, but I felt they may been a little weak. Some were a little confusing to decipher. There were a few ones that were memorable to me.
There was also mention of giving cats milk as treats in some writings which is not totally healthy for cats. Cats can be lactose intolerant, so there should be a warning to mention this.
Besides a few things, this book is worthy to be owned by a Bast devotee/cat lover.

I bought this book based on its supposedly being published by the Bibliotheca Alexandrina, thinking that it would be a collection of ancient hymns, etc. to Bast. it isn't. It's a collection of modern bits of writing put together by non-scholars (many of whom have used fake names) or non-historians. The Bibliotheca Alexandrina is a cultural achievement in Egypt, recreating the ancient library in Alexandria. This book appears to have nothing to do with that organization. This set of "devotionals" does not appear any place on the Bibliotheca's web page, and other than expropriating the name, appear to have nothing to do with that organization. At best, this is false advertising.

The book seemed like it was written by an infatuated crazy cat lady. There's a fine line between reverence for a goddess and obsession, and the authors seemed more obsessed than showing reverence. A big disappointment considering it was from the biblioteca alexandria
The only good thing was that it was delivered sooner than expected, which is always nice for a new book
