How Bastet became a god?

Answer 1

Mostly by Festivals; Bast's festivals included the 'Procession of Bast', 'Bast appears to Ra', the 'Festival of Bast', 'Bast Goes Forth from Bubastis' and 'Bast guards the Two Lands'. There was even a 'Festival of Hathor and Bast', showing the connection between the two goddesses.

Answer 2

Bastet, the Egyptian goddess of protection, perfume, and fertility, evolved over time from a lioness goddess to a domestic cat deity. She gradually gained prominence in Egyptian mythology and was eventually worshipped as a powerful and benevolent goddess, with her role expanding to include protecting the home and warding off evil spirits.

Answer 3

The Goddess Bast was worshipped across the Two Lands (another name for ancient Egypt due to the joining of upper and lower Egypt by Narmer / Nemes) but the base of her cult was centered in Bubastis. Remember that the word "Cult" indicates a system of religious beliefs and ritual.

She was originally depicted with a fierce Lion's head and was responsible for guarding the Pharoah, holder of the Utchat (eye of Horus), guardian of the God Ra, for example. Over time she began to be drawn with a domestic feline head and was given responsiblity over fertility, perfume, sexuality, house protection (cat vs. snakes, rats, etc.). In these incarnations she is called Bast, Bastet, Basthet, Ubasti and Pasht.
