We’re starting the new year off right: With a goddess who is leading with both her cat face and her titties - Bastet! That’s how we all should enter the new year in my opinion.

0:33.1 | Every week we pour a drink and learn about a new story from around the world. |
0:36.7 | I'm Amanda. |
0:37.4 | And I'm Amanda. |
0:43.4 | And I'm Julia. And Amanda, welcome back to another episode of Denial isn't just a river in Egypt. |
0:50.0 | It's what we've been doing by keeping an Egyptian mythology series from you on Spirits Podcast by Spirits Podcast. |
0:56.4 | It just never gets easier to say. But ever more necessary, Julia, I would argue. |
1:05.6 | I highly enjoyed the focus on titties and their adornment, on bloodlust and on rage in our last episode of this series of Sechmet, of course. |
1:09.2 | And I am so excited to see who we're going to start the new year off. |

1:49.0 | Okay. |
1:50.0 | Amanda, you'll notice some ties and some references to previous goddesses that we've referred to. |
1:55.0 | But before we get to all of that, let's talk about how we will recognize Bastet. |
2:00.0 | Julia, customarily now I'm going to need you |
2:02.7 | anytime we talk about a female goddess to tell me if the titty is free, adorned or demurely tucked |
2:08.2 | away. Amanda, you did a fantastic job writing the description for the SexMet episode. I just want to |
