Bastet, Egyptian Goddess of Protection and Intuition
Bastet originated as a fierce lioness war goddess in the earliest Egyptian dynasties, gradually softening over centuries into the cat-headed deity of protection, fertility, and the domestic hearth. She was venerated at Bubastis in Lower Egypt, where hundreds of thousands of pilgrims gathered annually for festivals in her honor, and where archaeologists have uncovered vast catacombs of mummified cats offered as votive gifts. In her protective aspect, Bastet was believed to guard households against evil, disease, and malevolent spirits, a role that translates naturally into modern altar and scrying work.
This resin stand depicts the seated Bastet figure as a base, holding the crystal sphere in a posture that evokes the Egyptian tradition of deity-held sacred objects. The 2 3/4 inch height positions a 50mm ball at an ideal viewing angle, neither too low for comfortable gazing nor so elevated that the sphere feels unstable. Practitioners working with Egyptian traditions or cat deity devotions often use this stand as a focal point for divination sessions, placing the sphere at the center of a Bastet altar alongside candles and small cat figurines.
Companion Piece for 50mm Scrying Spheres
The 50mm crystal ball is one of the most practical sizes for personal scrying work: large enough to gaze into comfortably, small enough to hold in one hand or travel with. This stand was specifically designed for that size, cradling the ball securely without gripping it so tightly that rotating the sphere during a reading becomes awkward. Clear quartz, obsidian, amethyst, and labradorite are among the most commonly used 50mm spheres in scrying practice, and all pair well with the protective Bastet frame both aesthetically and in terms of traditional Egyptian magical correspondence.
The resin construction keeps the stand lightweight and affordable without sacrificing the detail of the Bastet figure’s cat ears, collar, and seated posture. Resin also won’t scratch polished crystal surfaces the way metal stands occasionally can if the interior cradle has rough edges. If you already own a 50mm sphere from my crystal ball spheres selection, this stand provides the dedicated display base that keeps it protected and properly positioned when not in active use.
How to Use Bastet Crystal Ball Stand
How to set up and use the Bastet crystal ball stand for scrying and display.
- Set Up Your Scrying Space
Place the Bastet stand on a stable surface at eye level when seated. Position it on a dark cloth to reduce distraction around the sphere. Light a candle to one side rather than directly behind the ball, as backlighting creates glare during scrying.
- Seat the Crystal Ball
Lower your 50mm crystal sphere gently into the cradle from above. The stand holds the ball securely without clamping. Rotate it slowly until the clearest face is toward you. A slight clockwise rotation at the start of a session opens the work.
- Incorporate Bastet Devotion
If working in Egyptian tradition, address Bastet before gazing by naming her protective role aloud or placing a cat figurine beside the stand. Some practitioners anoint the base rim with protection oil, keeping oil away from the sphere itself.
The Tarot Fellow Standard
I stock this stand because the Bastet figure makes it genuinely distinct from a plain ring or pillow stand, and because the 50mm specification is exact rather than approximate.

Frequently Asked Questions
This stand is designed for 50mm crystal balls. The cradle holds the sphere securely upright without wobbling. Using a significantly larger ball such as an 80mm sphere is not recommended, as the fit will be loose and support unstable.
Bastet is an Egyptian cat goddess of protection and fertility. Her protective role and association with cats as guardians makes her a companion for scrying tools. Practitioners in Egyptian traditions often invoke her to guard divination spaces.
The stand is cast from resin as a seated Bastet figure. Resin is lightweight, holds fine detail, and has a smooth interior cradle that will not scratch polished crystal. It suits display stands where aesthetics and crystal safety both matter.
Yes, any polished sphere approximately 50mm in diameter will fit, including obsidian, selenite, labradorite, or glass spheres. The stand is sized by shape and diameter rather than material, so it works as a display base for any smooth 50mm sphere.
