"ISIS" IS THE ANCIENT GODDESS OF MAGIC AND HEALING; SHE IS KNOWN AS THE QUEEN OF THE THRONE. SHE IS PROBABLY THE BEST KNOWN DEITY OF THE EGYPTIAN PANTHEON. SHE HAS GONE BY MANY NAMES AND PLAYED MANY ROLES IN HISTORY AND MYTHOLOGY. SHE IS THE FEMININE ARCHETYPE OF CREATION, AND SHE RULED OVER ALL MATTERS CONCERNING MOTHERING, LIFE, AND SORCERY. SHE IS THE DAUGHTER OF GET AND NUT AND THE SISTER/WIFE OF OSIRIS.

ISIS IS DEPICTED IN HUMAN FORM CROWNED EITHER WITH A THRONE OR BY COW HORNS ENCLOSING A SUN DISK. OCCASIONALLY, A VULTURE IS ENCASED IN HER CROWN. SHE HAS ALSO BEEN DEPICTED AS A KITE ABOVE THE MUMMIFIED BODY OF OSIRIS. SHE IS ASSOCIATED WITH THE RIVER NILE. SHE JOURNEYS IN THE MOON BOAT WITH RA, THE SUN GOD, AS HE TRAVELS FROM THE WEST TO RISE AGAIN IN THE EAST.

ISIS IS THE ULTIMATE WIFE AND MOTHER. SHE LIVED WITH OSIRIS UNTIL HE WAS KILLED BY HIS JEALOUS BROTHER, SET. AND ACCORDING TO MYTH, ISIS FOUND HIS BODY IN PHOENICIA IN A TAMARISK TREE AND RETURNED IT TO EGYPT FOR A PROPER BURIAL. AFTER SET'S SECOND ATTEMPT TO DISPOSE OF THE BODY, ISIS BROUGHT OSIRIS BACK TO LIFE AND LATER CONCEIVED A CHILD WITH HIM, HORUS.

ISIS REMAINED POPULAR IN MYTHOLOGY EVEN IN THE DAYS OF THE ROMANS AND THE GREEKS. TODAY SHE IS WORSHIPPED MANY CIRCLES AND THE TEMPLE OF ISIS REMAINS A POPULAR ICON TO THIS ANCIENT EGYPTIAN GODDESS.

"I ISIS, AM ALL THAT HAS BEEN, THAT IS OR SHALL BE; NO MORTAL MAN HATH EVER ME UNVEILED." - INSCRIBED IN THE TEMPLE OF ISIS

ISIS CAN COMFORT US WHEN LIFE SEEMS DARK. WE CAN GAIN INSPIRATION FROM HER ENERGY AND DETERMINATION TO FIND OSIRIS. WE CAN UNDERSTAND HER TEARS AT THE LOSS OF HER BELOVED AND WE CAN FLY WITH HER AND CELEBRATE IN THE FINDING OF THE TAMARISK TREE. WE CAN SEE HER AS ONE WHO GENERATES THE LIFE-GIVING BREATH IN HER WINGS.
