Lovers of cats and Ancient Egypt will revel in the beauty, poetry and authenticity of this tale of a priestess of Bast, the great Cat Goddess. With both the gentleness and ferocity of the feline Judith Page leads us through mystical dark chambers and twilight crypts, to drowsy summer afternoons and clawing temple intrigues. The flowing words are like music, so that we imagine we are there among the lotus lilies, partaking of the joy and sadness, the spells and charms, the excitement and the danger. Song of Bast is the epic journey of a princess as she follows the calling of the Cat Goddess and invokes her unearthly power under the moon and stars.Paul F Newman Astrologer and author of Luna: 'The Astrological Moon‘For the cat is cryptic, and close to strange things which men cannot see. He is the soul of antique Aegyptus, and bearer of tales from forgotten cities in Meroë and Ophir. He is the kin of the jungle’s lords, and heir to the secrets of hoary and sinister Africa. The Sphinx is his cousin, and he speaks her language; but he is more ancient than the Sphinx, and remembers that which she hath forgotten.’ H. P. Lovecraft, Mark Twain, Charles Baudelaire, John Lennon, Pablo Picasso and all of the Bronte sisters loved cats because of what cats can teach. Egyptian civilization had a four-thousand-year love affair with Bꜣstt –“She of the ointment jar.” Protector of souls nearing birth and passing through death – the cat was, is and shall be the great muse in matters both esoteric and day-to-day.Judith Page revives an ancient mystery here – delightful both as verse and wisdom literature. A purr-fect spell.Don WebbUncle SetNakt’s Nightbook
