SEKHMET

SEKHMET: Egyptian Goddess of War and Vengeance. She has a lion's head so is used to being lionised, and can be very fierce if upset.

Always a controversial Goddess, she finally came clean in a recent Godchecker interview:

"The destruction of mankind? Okay, I admit it. I did it and not HATHOR. So I'm RA's daughter and I am the Eye of the Sun. HATHOR thinks she is too, and we both wear sun discs to prove it. We get on fine, and hey, we both think the world of RA. We don't like to see people taking the mickey.

"Yes, I know have the head of a lion and claws and I can flare up at times. I don't know what gets into me. Normally I'm Mrs Nice and Cuddly. Ask my hubby PTAH. Never a cross word.

"I do healing as well you know. It's not all searing flames of destruction. Anyway, I've got to go now. The cobra needs venomising."
