"[#Ares] took her hand and spoke thus to her: ‘Come, my darling; let us go to bed and take our delight together. #Hephaistos is no longer here; by now, I think, he has made his way to Lemnos, to visit the uncouth-spoken Sintians.’
So he spoke, and sleep with him was a welcome thought to her."

For #BlackHistoryMonth, I'm introducing African deities in my daily god toots. #Sekhmet is a warrior goddess of #ancientEgyptian religion. She is said to breathe fire and cause plagues. She acts as the vengeful manifestation of Ra's power, the Eye of #Ra. Once he sent her to destroy mortals but in her bloodlust she would have wiped out humanity had the other gods not dyed beer red as blood so Sekhmet lapped it all up and passed out drunk.

For #BlackHistoryMonth, I'm introducing African deities in my daily god toots. #Apedemak was a war god worshipped by the Meroitic peoples inhabiting #Kush (modern #Sudan). He was often depicted with a male human torso and a #lion head but has no Egyptian counterpart. He is considered a god of conquest, military prowess, and empire and is involved in the process of electing and legitimising new leaders, as seen in the Temple of Musawwarat es-Sufra.
