This painting of the goddess was a long time coming.
The hieroglyphic text for this piece was transliterated by my friend Matt Whealton who sadly passed away in 2021. I met Matt at Pantheacon in 2015 and we kept in touch ever since. I am saddened by his passing but know that his work with the sacred words of the gods lives on in this work.
The text reads:
Adoration to the Great Lady of Heaven
Adoration to Sekhmet Who spreads out Her wings
Mistress of the two lands
Daughter of Ra
Hail holy mistress
Lady of flame
Lady of pestilence
Who makes live those who petition Her
May You shine upon us with all the great powers which are in You
And may we receive Your blessings in abundance forever and ever
