She is the lion-headed goddess of war, justice, fierce healing, and the destructive power of the solar heat. Daughter of Ra and closely linked to the solar principle, Sekhmet is said to embody the merciless aspect of the midday desert sun, a force that both sustains life through warmth and destroys it through overwhelming heat. She was feared and respected in ancient Egypt as a deity of overwhelming power, and her mythology is filled with accounts of near-catastrophic violence reined back only at the last moment by divine intervention.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c!-- \/wp:paragraph --\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c!-- wp:paragraph --\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDespite her terrifying aspects, Sekhmet was also the divine patron of physicians and the goddess invoked for healing of the most serious diseases. This apparent paradox makes perfect sense within the Egyptian understanding of divine power: Sekhmet governs the force that both causes illness and cures it, the fires that both destroy and purify. She heals by burning away the disease, not by soothing it. Practitioners who work with her for healing understand they are calling on a transformative and potentially disruptive power, not a gentle restorative one.
