Dhat-Badan ( Sabaean: 𐩹𐩩𐩽𐩨𐩲𐩵𐩬), Dhat-hami, or Zat-Badar, ´She of the Wild Goats` and ´She of the Sanctuary', [1] was a Himyarite goddess.
Dhat-Badan was a nature goddess of the oasis, nature, and the wet season worshipped at tree-circled pools[ citation needed] throughout the region of ancient Yemen, Somalia, and Ethiopia.
She was said to forbid any invocation to her when there was no seeress or priestess present in her sanctuary. [2] This priestess was called a ḥlmt, literally 'Dreamer'. [3] In the sanctuary, the priestess would lie down and sleep before the sacred tree(s) of the goddess to receive an oracle in the form of a prophetic dream.[ citation needed]
She was a popular goddess of the polytheists of Axum. The she- ibex was sacred to her and it was said that an island in the Red Sea inhabited by ibexes was under her protection. [4][ unreliable source?]
