She is the leader of the pharaoh's armies in times of war. In Egypt, when the pharaoh is in need of protection, Sekhmet rides down on the rays of Ra, the sun god, to answer the pharoah's call. I also had an image of a khajiit in my mind when I looked at the human goddess with the feline head. I love how she is depicted as the destructive eye of Ra and how she can both call plagues upon mortals and healing those same mortals she curses. I love ancient egyptian mythology and a god of particular interest, at least to me, is Sekhmet, the lion goddess of war, healing, plagues and wrath of the sun.
