Sekhmet
Goddess of Wounded Healers Egypt
Temple: Warriors
Element: Fire

Sekhmet is the fierce ancient Egyptian goddess of war, the sun, and healing. She carries life force in her palm, with the power to create or destroy.

Sekhmet’s Guidance
Heal thyself. Everyone gets your best—except you. You are a healer among your tribe. Stop putting your needs last.

Embodiment
When did you decide to become a martyr? Take a breath. Wounded healers hold sadness, rage, and fears of brokenness.

Being a warrior wasn’t a choice for our beloved foremothers. They did the best they could. But being a goddess warrior for us is knowing that we have the choice not to fight all the time.

Deep dive questions: What are your swords, the weapons you use to fight? And what are your shields, the ways you defend yourself? Dare to lay the burdens down, along with your swords and shields.

Goddess Declaration
“It is safe to put myself first.”
