Isis:\u00a0 Healer, Mother, Egyptian Goddess <\/strong><\/p>\n

Isis was a goddess in Ancient Egyptian religious beliefs, whose worship was adopted by other20ancient cultures such as Rome.\u00a0 She was the wife and sister of Osiris, daughter of Seb and Nut and mother of Horus.<\/p>\n

Worshiped as the ideal mother and wife, patron of nature, magic and sailors; friend of slaves, sinners, artisans, the downtrodden, as well as listening to the prayers of the wealthy, maidens, aristocrats and rulers.\u00a0\u00a0 Isis was known to be compassionate to all, no matter what their social class.\u00a0 Isis also is known as the goddess of simplicity, from whom all beginnings arose, and was the ruler of bread, of beer, and of green fields.<\/p>\n

Isis is also known for teaching humanity the basic skills to build civilizations.\u00a0 She came to represent the powerful attributes of faithfulness, love, inner beauty, psychic insight and spiritual awareness.\u00a0 Isis was a very powerful healer.\u00a0 She received much of her power by creating a cobra to bite Ra, whose power was based on his secret name.\u00a0\u00a0 Isis told Ra she would help him, only if he told her the secret name.\u00a0 Ra, dying, did tell her, thus opening the healing powers available to him.<\/p>\n

She is also known as a very powerful healer based on the story of her healing her husband Osiris after his brother Set murdered him because of jealously.\u00a0 Set had passed the throne to Osiris and Isis but regretted it and wanted the throne for himself.\u00a0 When Osiris returned from a battle, Set and his followers had a banquet and invited Osiris.\u00a0 During the banquet, Set brought=2 0out a chest and said whomever could fit in it would receive it as a gift.\u00a0 Osiris stepped inside and of course, it was a perfect fit.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Set and his followers nailed it shut and threw it in the Nile.<\/p>\n

The chest floated to the island of Byblos.\u00a0 It washed ashore and a tree grew over it.\u00a0 When the tree was cut down to make an altar for Phoenician King, it gave off a beautiful scent.\u00a0 Isis received word of it and went to her husband.& nbsp; She brought him back to life with magic from Thoth and they conceived a child \u2013 Horus.<\/p>\n

Isis stayed in Byblos until Horus was born.\u00a0 While Isis was away one day, Set found Osiris\u2019s body and he cut the body into 14 pieces.\u00a0 Isis found all the pieces except one; Osiris\u2019s manhood had been eaten by a crab in the Nile.\u00a0 With help from other Gods such as Anabus, Thoth and Horus, Isis created first rites of embalming and Rite of Rebirth, giving Osiris eternal life.<\/p>\n

Isis was also involved with trying to help Horus regain the throne.\u00a0 After much debate by the council, and after Isis shape-shifted to trick Set to confess Horus should be the rightful heir to the throne, a competition was created to see who would rule.<\/p>\n

During the competition, Horus and Set changed into Hippos and were crossing the Nile.\u00a0 Isis threw a magical spear and hit Horus by accident, who came out of the Nile and insisted she heal him, which she did .\u00a0 After Horus went back in, Isis threw the spear again and hit Set.\u00a0 Horus was so angered at her interference that he cut off her head.\u00a0 Ra found of the situation and asked Thoth to help.\u00a0 Thoth replaced Isis\u2019s head with a cow\u2019s head.
\nIsis is known as a great mother and did everything she could to protect her son Horus.\u00a0 However, a lesson to learn from Isis is to know when the be involved with helping their child and when to step back.\u00a0 Isis may have thought she was helping but she was causing chaos during the competition.\u00a0\u00a0 The teaching here is to use good judgment when dealing with those you care about.<\/p>\n

Isis can help with magic, harvest, dreams, divination, perspective, faithfulness, love, spirituality and destiny.\u00a0 She can help you by speaking to you in dreams.\u00a0 You can also invoke her to create powerful healing and working with the downtrodden.<\/p>\n
