Sekhmet, the lioness goddess of Egypt, stands for both war and healing in the sources I have gathered, and she even appears in an initiation story of the Magdalenes. These are the pages where I wrote about her.
Among the Dark Mothers
On Mary of Bethany Mary of Bethany describes going down into dark temple chambers to train in the Rites of the Sepulchre:
While receiving this training I was introduced to the warrior goddesses – ‘the Dark Mothers’ – Sekhmet, Durga, Kali, Demeter and many others.
Claire Heartsong, Anna, the Voice of the Magdalenes
On Rite of the Sepulchre: a prolonged death-like state for spiritual acceleration I quote the same passage on the rite itself.
Consort of Ptah
On Ptah Sekhmet is the lioness goddess in the Memphite Triad, with her consort Ptah and their son Nefertum, a god of sunrise and lotus flowers. On The holy trinities I list the Memphis Triad as Ptah, Sekhmet and Nefertem, with Sekhmet as a warrior goddess and goddess of healing.
War, healing and the Lyrans
On Weekdays Set or Sekhmet is the Egyptian god or goddess of war and chaos in my table of war gods linked to Mars. On Ancient Egypt Debbie Solaris examines the Egyptian gods with animal heads, such as Sekhmet, Taweret and Sobek, as an integration of Lyran concepts.
