Any information on Bastet ?

[Snoopy]

Can anyone point me in a direction to any Occult information, books, or sources on the God Bastet?

For gods, you are always better going back to the source rather than later "occult" accoutrements. There are aspects to gods that some, few, very wise modern writers might uncover but remember that those insightful magicians are also drawing upon the same ancient patterns you're trying to access.

The best book on Bast-et is a French academic book called Les divins chat d'Egypte. It has multiple authors/editors and you can find it on archive. If you can't read French or want something more hands on, then read any academically reputable book on Ancient Egyptian Religion (of which there are tens of thousands), research how Bast-et was worshiped at Bubastis (hint, it involved honouring Her earthly representatives and finding and working with their patterns within yourself - if you're kind to cats, She will give you what you ask for if it's within her sphere of influence) and adapt those rituals for yourself. Use your first ritual as a springboard for increasingly specialist research while increasing the presence of the god within your life.
