About Bastet:
Bastet also called Bast Patron of the sun (originally) the moon (after the Greeks), cats, women and secrets. A desert cat, or a woman with the head of a cat (this form possibly dates after the domestication of the Egyptian wild cat).
Bast is probably the most famous Egyptian goddess after Isis, Bast was said to be the daughter of Ra, though long after he created the primal gods. She was originally a sun goddess, but after contact with the Greeks, she changed to a moon goddess, probably due to the Greeks associating her with Artemis.
