A unique work on the history and magic of the Egyptian feline goddesses, "Bast and Sekhmet", from the ancient land of majestic splendour and long-held secrets. Practising pagans Storm Constantine and Eloise Coquio discuss the important role cats - who have been both worshipped as gods and reviled as demons - play in many people's lives, not just as pets but as spiritual totems. A manual for magic incorporates all the rituals the authors' circle have used, with suggestions for creating one's own, whether working solo or in groups. Also discussed are such aspects as temple creation, attuning with your own cat familiar, and ritual techniques. Finally, the authors suggest ways in which you can work in Bast's name in this world, such as by 'adopting' a lion or helping animal charities. "Bast and Sekhmet Eyes of Ra" was written in response to the ever-increasing popularity of and demand for information about these powerful and mysterious deities - ancient goddesses for the new millennium.

Storm Constantine was a British science fiction and fantasy author, primarily known for her Wraeththu series. Since the late 1980s she wrote more than 20 novels, plus several non-fiction books. She is featured in the Goth Bible and is often included in discussions of alternative sexuality and gender in science fiction and fantasy; many of her novels include same-sex relationships or hermaphrodites or other twists of gender. Magic, mysticism and ancient legends (like the Grigori) also figure strongly in her works. In 2003 she launched Immanion Press, based out of Stafford, England. The publishing company publishes not only her own works but those of new writers, as well as well-known genre writers, mainly from the UK.
