Cat Goddess Nastya
Areas of Influence: Bast, the Egyptian cat Goddess had numerous areas of influence that developed over time. She became both a nurturing mother figure and a terrifying avenger.
In the early days she was the fierce lion headed Goddess of the lower Nile who protected the Pharaoh and the sun God Ra. This is why she has the title of "Goddess of protection." In this role she became Goddess of the rising sun and holder of the utchat, the all seeing eye of Horus.
Later the Egyptian cat Goddess was depicted with the head of a domestic cat, representing her more nurturing aspects. Woman of the time would buy amulets of this Goddess illustrated with different numbers of kittens, representing the number of children they wished to have. The links to fertility and childbirth were further strengthened by the Greeks. They likened this Goddess to Artemis and she also became associated with the moon, and children.
As a cat Goddess she also protected houses from rats and snakes and so ensured the health of the occupants.
This Goddess is also identified with "Nubian cat," depicted with the body of a spotted cat and the head of a Nubian woman. This comes from a myth about a distant Goddess as the daughter of Ra quarrels with her father and retreats to the desert.
Although she was the only Cat Goddess in Egyptian Mythology, there were other feline Goddesses including: Menhit, Pakhet and Sekhmet.
She was also known by several different names including Bastet, Basthet, Boubastis Ubasti and Pasht. The name Pasht is the root of our word passion, linking this Goddess to physical pleasure.
A Patron Goddess of fire fighters due to the unusual Egyptian belief that if a cat ran through a burning household she would draw the flames out behind her.
In the Book of the Dead she is mentioned as destroying the bodies of the deceased, with the royal flame, if they failed the judgement hall of Maat.
The Goddess was linked to the music and dance due to the special rattle that she carried known as the Sistrum. These special rattles were used to celebrate her festivals.
She was connected with perfumes as she shares a hieroglyph with that which represented the bas jar. Her name therefore probably means "She of the ointment jar." These ceramic vessels used to hold expensive perfumes. Perhaps this is why she was also said to give protection against contagious diseases as many of the perfume ingredients were plant materials with healing properties.
Origins and Genealogy: In common with many Egyptian Goddesses her lineage is complicated. She was the daughter of Ra and in common with several other Goddesses she was known as the "Eye of Ra" 
Consort : In addition to being Ra's daughter she was also his consort.
Children: With Ra She had a son named Mahes (also known as Mihos) who was also a lion God. 
Although this Goddess is associated with Lower Egypt her roles and mythology often become merged with Sekhmet another feline Goddess from Upper Egypt. In this form her consort is Ptah and she bore another son called Nefertem.
Mut later absorbed her identity together with that of Wadjet to become Mut-Wadjet-Bast before also taking over the identities of Sekhmet and Nekhebet. 
Strengths: Protector, sensual and caring mother figure. 
Weaknesses: Chameleon like and fierce when threatened. 
Portrayed as a lion headed or cat headed woman. She was also often shown with kittens.
She carryied an ankh, representing the breath of life and papyrus wand symbolizing Lower Egypt. She is associated with the all seeing eye (the utchat) and a rattle (the sistrum). 
Statues of this Egyptian Goddess would be placed in households to protect them from thieves.
Sacred Animals: Lions and domestic cats.
Festivals: Her festival was known as the Bubastis was held in May. According to Herodotus, her festivals were licentious and popular affairs celebrated with music, dancing, drinking. No wonder she is considered the Goddess of Pleasure.
Temples: Her main cult and temple was centred around the ancient city of Per-Bast. It was here that the remains of over 300 000 cats mummies were discovered. The city was later renamed Bubastis and even today it is Known as Tell-Basta.
Although her cult was centred in Bubastis, She was worshipped in temples and households throughout the whole of the lower Nile region. 
In 2010 National Geographic Magazine reported that a new temple dedicated to the Goddess had been found in Alexandria. 
Represents physical strength, and the ability to protect and fight for your rights and those of of others.
Whilst the shadow side of the Warrior reflects the need to win at all costs, abandoning ethical principals to prove your supremacy.
This cat Goddess is a Warrior protecting her father and the Pharaoh. As a mother cat figure she is fierce in the protection of her young. She had seven arrows that emanated destructive, demonic energy.
Represents passion and selfless devotion to another person. It also extends to the things that make our hearts sing, like music art or nature.
The shadow aspect is obsessive passion that completely takes over and negatively impacts on your health and self esteem.
This Egyptian Goddess had many lovers. She is also associated the pleasures of music, dancing and perfumery.
If you are drawn to work with this stereotype you may require the Warrior spirit to help you to stand up for your rights and set firm personnal boundaries. This stereotype is helpful if you want to take control in your life, and no longer wish to play the role of the victim.
You may also choose to call upon the Warrior to champion the cause of others.
Conversely the Warrior may appeal to you if you have a very strong sense of self and are proud of the victories you have achieved. The shadow side of this goddess may be asking you to reflect honestly on the cost of these victories. Have they been at the expense of others or your principals? 
You may be drawn to this stereotype if you are looking to attract a new lover or to re-ignite the fire in an existing relationship. The Lover can also be a useful tool to discover what you are passionate about in life.
On the shadow side you need to ask, whether the amount of energy and time you are putting into relationships, or enthusiasm for projects is excessive? If this continues for too long you are likely to suffer from stress and physical ill health.

Abused girl whose photos circulate on Web gets judges to order viewers to pay.
Feb. 8, 2010— -- From the time she was 4, Amy's trusted uncle forced her to have painful oral and anal sex while being videotaped, swearing her to silence in their "special secret."
In 1998 when she was 9, the sexual abuse stopped and her uncle was arrested and imprisoned, but for more than a decade photos of the little girl have circulated on the Internet in some of the most widely distributed child pornography of all time -- "the Misty series."
Nearly 35,000 graphic images have now turned up in collections of arrested pedophiles , and Amy, who is now 20, is going where few victims of this horrific crime have gone before: She is seeking financial restitution -- up to $3.4 million -- from anyone who has sought perverse pleasure from her pain.
"I am still discovering all the ways that the abuse and exploitation I suffer has hurt me, has set my life on the wrong course, and destroyed the normal childhood, teenage years and early adulthood that everyone deserves," Amy wrote in a victim impact statement she prepared for the courts.
"Every day of my life, I live in constant fear that someone will see my pictures, recognize me and that I will be humiliated all over again," she wrote, recounting the lingering scars left on her life, despite years of therapy.
So far Amy, which is not her real name, has received about $170,000 in court-ordered restitution, and judges in several states have agreed that not only those who commit sex acts against children are culpable, but also those who download the images.
But not every jurisdiction agrees with the heavy court-ordered payments for those who view such images. Some judges have said restitution goes too far in punishing pedophiles whose only crime is to view photos, but Amy's lawyer, James Marsh , disagrees, saying the brutality in the "secret society" of child pornography requires tough measures.
"This is not 13-year-olds in bras or sexting or 17-year-old girls gone wild -- these are kids who are raped," said Marsh, a New York City lawyer.
"In one notorious set of images, the father used to put a studded collar around his 6-year-old and wrote on her in what looked like blood, 'I am Daddy's little girl, rape me.' He locked her in a dog cage," he told ABCNews.com.
Marsh is now seeking restitution in 350 cases that involve photos of Amy, through automated filings to the United States attorneys handling the cases.
In 1995, Marsh helped update a federal law that gives victims the right to sue anyone who produces, distributes or possess their child sex abuse images. It now provides statutory damages of $150,000 for each violation of federal child pornography provisions and was incorporated into the Adam Walsh Child Protection and Safety Act and signed by President Bush 2006.
So-called " Masha's Law " came out of a 1998 case of a Russian orphan girl, known as Masha Allen , who was targeted by a sophisticated child pedophile network. Her American adoptive father raped and sexually abused her for six years and distributed hundreds of images on the Internet.
At the time, Marsh testified in Congress that social networking sites like MySpace and YouTube, as well as camera-enabled cell phones have "enabled and facilitated" child trafficking and the commercialization and distribution of child pornography.
Amy first became aware of the photos in 2005, when she began receiving victim notifications from government - now up to 850 in all - which were mandated by the 1984 Victims of Crime Act .
Each time a pedophile was prosecuted for downloading her images, a letter would arrive at her home, and she would relive the abuse.
Amy's uncle bought her gifts and let her ride his motorcycle. Now, distrusting, she shuns the generosity of others and fears getting a driver's license. "I will never ride a motorcycle again," she wrote.
Amy failed a high school anatomy class because of the disgust she felt at the human body. She is unable to trust others and says she sometimes "drinks too much" to hide her feelings of shame.
After the abuse her uncle would give her beef jerky, once a favorite snack, but now it evokes "feelings of panic, guilt," she said. "It's like I can never get away from what happened to me."
All this Amy described in the victim-impact statement Marsh urged her to write. He also hired a psychologist and estimated damages, based on costs of counseling, lost wages and lawyers fees, came to $3,467,854. Marsh said they will not stop seeking restitution until that sum is reached.
For years, authorities could not seek restitution because victims could not be identified.
But in 2009, The Center for Missing and Exploited Children was able to identify a girl they called "Amy" among 150 digital images that had been seized by Texas police in the case of a 43-year-old Dyle Randall Paroline.
They say that in that year alone, the Misty series was viewed by more than 8,800, showing Amy forced to perform "extremely graphic" acts, including oral sex, anal penetration and masturbation with an adult man.
Federal prosecutors sought $3.4 million restitution from Paroline, who pled guilty to possessing the photos, but U.S. Judge Leonard Davis said in an 18-page opinion that was too much, violating the Eighth Amendment's prohibition on excessive punishments. In a similar case in Maine, the judge agreed.
But Amy had already been successful in several cases. The first award of $200,000 came from a Connecticut judge in the conviction of Alan Hesketh , a British executive who had more than 1,000 images of child pornography, including some from the "Misty Series."
And in two separate cases in Florida, judges have ordered the defendants to pay Amy nearly $3.3 million and $3.7 million, and in California, a judge ordered $50,000 in restitution.
"The healing process is hard enough without 800 reminders coming in the mail constantly, knowing that other people knew what happened to you," said Jennifer Wilson Marsh, who is hotline director for The Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network , the nation's largest anti-sexual assault organization. "The shame is amplified."
But Wilson Marsh, who is no relation to Amy's lawyer, wonders how restitution will stop these heinous crimes.
"A lot of perpetrators find their way around the law," she told ABCNews.com. "It's really hard to put a monetary value on trauma."
One San Diego woman who was raped then photographed while interviewing for a job at the age of 21, said Amy's pain can't be erased with restitution.
"No money can cover what happened," said Aliza Amar, now a 49-year old activist for RAINN. "No money can take the shame away."
And others say punishing those who only download pornography in this way is too harsh.
"Not to excuse what the downloaders do and their complicity, but the actual abuser, the person who took the picture is worse. He actually harmed the child," said Amy Adler, a professor at New York University Law School who specializes in first amendment law and pornography.
"Given the severity of sentences and the jail time for downloading offenses, if that's not a significant deterrent, I don't know how money could be," said Adler. "Paying money is much less of a deterrent than jail for five years and then registering as a sex offender."
But a 2001 study of 400 inmates at the Butner Federal Correctional Complex in North Carolina concluded that offenders who were "merely collectors" of Internet child pornography were "significantly more likely than not to have sexually abused a child via a hands-on act."
Adler says that study is controversial, but Amy's lawyer insists the person who views the photos creates an incentive for violence against children.
Pornography "does not exist in a vacuum," said Marsh. A "powerful, long-term collector" - with 100,000 to 200,000 images -- can command others to commit sex crimes to obtain the images he wants.
Meanwhile, Amy leads a "very quiet, very simple" life at home with her parents in rural Pennsylvania. "She literally hasn't gone very far in life," said Marsh. "She tried to go to college, but couldn't cut it."
"She's a smart girl, very bright," he said. "But she has a lot of issues she grapples with in her past and is trying to get a handle on what happened to her."
Her uncle received a 17-25 year state sentence and a 10-year federal sentence, which were supposed to run consecutively. But because of administrative mistakes, the sentences ran concurrently, and he could be out in
