![]() ![]() Sekhmet is one of the oldest deities in the world. 'After that, Ra addressed Sekhmet as the One Who Comes in Peace, praising the beauty and charm of the Goddess.” Then 'Her heart was filled with joy,' Her mind was changed, and She thought no more of destroying mankind. And when Sekhmet came to these fields and perceived what She thought to be blood, She rejoiced and drank all of the liquid. The jars were taken to a place where Sekhmet would pass and there were poured out onto the ground, inundating the fields for a great distance. Sekti added these drugs to a mixture of beer and also human blood, until seven thousand great jugs of the substance had been made. Those plants, and possibly also opium or hemp, were sent to the God Sekti at Heliopolis. Then Ra had brought to him from Elephantine certain plants which have been said to be the Solanaceae family and which can be brewed as powerful mind-altering drugs. 'As the carnage went on, the Gods recognized that Sekhmet, Her rage sustained by intoxication, would implacably proceed with the killing until the last human life had been extinguished. The other Gods decided that the slaughter was enough and should stop, but they could find no way to stop Sekhmet, who was drunk on human blood. Night after night Sekhmet waded in blood, slaughtering humans, tearing and rending their bodies, and drinking their blood. 'Then Sekhmet walked among men and destroyed them and drank their blood.
