When is the festival days of Bastet and Anubis?

Post by Selena Silverlynx »

Hi!
I have a question concerning Bastet and Anubis. The question is when the festival days of Bastet and Anubis take place.

Why are black cats associated with witches?
Because black is an awesome colour, cats are awesome, and so are witches. People are actually linking awesomeness to awesomeness to awesomeness. ;)

Celebrate Bast on or about the 23 of July, when the Sun enters Leo.
Anubis, however, I don't know

I worship Anubis on the waning moon phase astrologically on Saturdays as he represents Aspects of Saturn and is the Guardian of the Dead.

The Festival of Anubis is April 10th and the Festival of Bast is on March 4th & 5th according to the Ancient Egyptian calendars I found online.

Turns out my dates were wrong. According to Kemetic practitioners the calendar dates are different each year according to astronomical information. The Egyptian Pagans on Facebook feel Bast is a springtime goddess of earth and I have found different dates online for Bast celebrations in April. Anubis is considered the same type of earthy god and again April is a popular time according to various sources online. Go with your gut instincts.

That's good to know! I go to school in Memphis Tennessee, and Bast was widely worshiped in Memphis, Egypt, so I can't help but feel her presence lingers here--we even have a pyramid. It couldn't hurt to honor her once a year.
