SEKHMET LION
Sekhmet is the daughter of the sun god, Ra, and is among the more important of the goddesses in the Egyptian Pantheon. Sekhmet acted as the manifestation of Ra's power, the Eye of Ra. Sekhmet is said to breathe fire, and the hot winds of the desert were likened to her breath. Sekhmet also has a healing aspect. She was seen as a protector of the sick and a patron of physicians. She was called upon to ward off disease and heal the sick
