Mistresse of all the Elements,
Queene of heaven,,
Principall of the Gods celestiall,
The light of the goddesses.
My divinity is adored throughout the world;
By proper ceremonies call mee 'Queene Isis'.
"--WRITTEN C.AD155 --"
ISIS IS THE MOTHER OF HORUS AND THE LOYAL WIFE OF OSIRIS. SHE WAS A PART OF THE FOURTH GENERATION AT HELIOPOLIS, THE CHILDREN OF GEB AND NUT. SHE WAS COMMONLY SHOWN AS A WOMAN WEARING THE THRONE SYMBOL THAT HELPS TO WRITER HER NAME. AS THE "'THRONE GODDESS'", SHE WAS THE MOTHER OF EACH EGYPTIAN KING. HER MATERNAL TENDERNESS EVENTUALLY INCLUDED ALL HUMANITY, AND ISIS BECAME MORE WIDELY WORSHIPPED THAN ANY OTER EGYPTIAN DEITY.
"SHE" WAS CONSIDERED TO THE PATRON SAINT OF WOMEN, MOTHERS AND CHILDREN, AND, ADDITIONALLY, WAS REFERRED TO AS THE GODDESS OF MAGIC, AND AS A MAGICIAN, SHE POSSIBLY THE ARCHETYPE FOR THE "HIGH PRIESTESS "OF THE TAROT. SHE LEARNED HER MAGIC FROM THOTH, ALTHOUGH ACCORDING TO SOME LEGENDS SHE OBTAINED HER POWERS FROM RA HIMSELF BY TRICKING HIM INTO REVEALING HIS NAME TO HER, THUS ACQUIRING HIS FULL MAGICAL KNOWLEDGE. IN THE "BOOK OF THE DEAD", ISIS WAS DESCRIBED AS "SHE WHO GIVES BIRTH TO THE HEAVEN AND EARTH, KNOWS THE ORPHAN, KNOWS THE WIDOW, SEEKS JUSTICE FOR THE POOR AND SHELTER FOR THE WEAK.
UNLIKE MOST OF THE EGYPTIAN GODS AND GODDESSES, ISIS REMAINED IN THE SAME FORM FROM THE BEGINNING OF HER HISTORY TO CURRENT DATES AND HAS ACHIEVED MUCH FAME THROUGHOUT HISTORY. MANY TEMPLES HAVE BEEN DEDICATED TO HER HONOR AND FOR THE PURPOSE OF WORSHIPPING HER.
