  Playing too much bastet may screw up how you play regular tetris, since the strategy for each is slightly different.

    Playing too much bastet may screw up how you play regular tetris, since the strategy for each is slightly different.

    Rather than discuouraging me, this suggests me it could be a tempting experiment. Point is, although I regard myself as a rather good regular tetris player, I still haven't found any strategy for the damned beast that bastet is... ;-)

    I had no idea about the Egyptian goddess, though.

    So did I up until saturday. My therapy was to begin late in the evening and I had virtually nothing to do for the rest of the day, thus I asked for a permission, which they conceded me, and took the chance to visit Turin and it's rather famous Egyptian Museum [museoegizio.it]. Bastet was not so heavily represented as Sekhmet, the other feline goddess, and the one regarded as the fiercer of the two, at least from some point on, but I did notice a statue, and immediately recognized the name.

    The lesson to be learned, though, is what I read in Wikipedia, specifically that Bast/Bastet was regarded as lioness herself originally, and only later on as a domestic cat, occasionally depicted holding a lionness mask, which hinted at suppressed ferocity.
