Hi everyone! I wanted to share some experiences I've had with Sekhmet.
I posted this story before, but years ago, I was in an abusive relationship. My abuser was lying to me and manipulating me. This time, he was blatantly ignoring me and telling me that it was because he was so depressed he couldn't do anything. I asked Sekhmet to open my eyes because i was very confused and brainwashed as to what was happening to me. I asked her to give me strength. The very next day, I saw that he had posted a picture of himself out on Facebook, not only that, but he had a big smile on his face.
Cutting ties with my abuser was the bravest thing I've ever done. After that, anytime he tried to contact me, I felt the fire in my blood-- and I was able to tell him off. That was something I had never done before.
Recently, I have had other problems that had really hurt my self esteem. My therapist was asking me what I had been doing with my newfound free time, and I told him I was reading. He asked me what I was reading, and I gave him a vague description of my Bast and Sekhmet book.
I described Sekhmet and the lion energy-- I was afraid he wouldn't understand, but he said that he could totally see the lion energy and the bravery in our work together. He said I have developed a fire in the way that I no longer take abuse and believe it is my fault, but get angry at the injustice. I stick up for myself in a way I didn't before.
