In Egyptian mythology, Sekhmet (also spelt Sachmet, Sakhet, and Sakhmet), was originally the war goddess of Upper Egypt, although when the first Pharaoh of the 12th dynasty moved the capital of Egypt to Memphis, her cult centre moved as well. As Lower Egypt had been conquered by Upper Egypt, Sekhmet was seen as the more vicious of the two war goddesses, the other, Bast, being the war goddess for Lower Egypt. Consequently it was Sekhmet who was seen as the avenger of wrongs, and scarlet lady, a reference to blood. As the one with blood-lust, she was also seen as ruling over menstruation. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sekhmet
