parts out for bast

I'm preparing for this discussion I'm leading for the pagan group I belong to.  I'm going to be talking about Bast, and so I'm reading about her ancient festival.  Apparently it was one of the biggest festivals of the year, and when the people would travel to Bubastis the women would just be loud and out of control and when they'd see people on the riverbanks they'd yell at them, and they'd lift their dresses to show off their bits (because fertility!).  Then at the festival there was singing and dancing and people drank more wine than any other time in the year and that sounds like such a fucking blast, man.
