Bast and Vacations

Today is a bright day to consider Bast, especially since the faeries are enjoining us to plan a vacation. The two go together well.

We all know Bast as the protector of cats, and most know Her as the protector of women, but consider Her feline nature in the light of vacations, and there's definite party atmosphere. Festivals in honor of Bast used to involve a lot of dancing and drinking and general revelry.

Today give thanks to Bast for all Her gifts. Cats understand the need to play, and we humans can learn from that. They also understand the need to rest, and that's something that's sorely missing in today's society.

Bast, while perhaps seemingly flighty and fickle in the true feline nature, is actually warm and caring and deeply protective of her family. To do honor to Bast, with both deep reverence and a playful, generous heart, can only bring good things.

And since the faeries counsel planning a vacation, who better to lead us there than Lady Bast?
