Isis also
known as
Aset is an Egyptian Goddess. She was Osiris sister and consort.
Her sister,
Nephthys, was said to be jealous of Isis because she saw Isis as
beautiful
and
she was married to Osiris who was also handsome. Nephthys was married
to Seth
who was not good to her.
Nephthys and Isis look almost alike and once Nephthys
tricked Osiris to sleep with her because she dressed as Isis.
This tale shows the
opposites, the light and the dark, Isis and Nephthys.
Isis
is usually
portrait in her throne as the Queen of the Nile.
She is also associated with
the Black Madonna,
and She is said to be one of the Goddesses in the
Mediterranean.
The Island of Philae is said to be Isis Temple and it is one of
the most beautiful
Temples in Egypt.
Isis was a Goddess
associated with healing, maternity, dancing, dreaming, oracles, and
mysteries.
She had several Priestesses and devotees, some of them include
Demetria, Lucious,
Klea, Selene, among others.
Isis is also known as the Goddess of the Thousand
Names, some of her most popular names
are Lady of Beauty, Lady of the Thunder,
Mistress of All Things Forever, Lady of Flame,
Lady of Bread, Green Goddess,
Great Virgin, among others.
Isis’ symbols
include the Throne and the Ankh,
her colors are yellows and gold.
The wings are also one of her symbols. She is
said to be the Great Mother, the protectress of her children.
Her Hieroglyph is
the AB or the Heart, the heart is usually the center of our
spirituality,
our
love for ourselves and others. In the Egyptian traditions, the heart
was one of
the most
important parts of the body and it was treasured.

My Creation
I painted this
picture visualizing Isis and her symbols. She came to me as the Ankh
and the
brightness of the Sun.
She is guiding me and showing me the way.
