Isis

Isis, in Egyptian mythology, the Goddess of fertility, water and wind, a symbol of femininity and marital fidelity, Goddess of navigation, daughter of Geb and Nut, sister and wife of Osiris. Isis taught women to harvest, spin and weave, heal diseases, and established the institution of marriage.

Isis is worshiped as the "Mother of Great Magic" who protected her son Horus from snakes, predators and other dangers; thus, she is protecting all mortal children. Most often she is depicted with an Ankh cross in her right hand and a scepter of the Queen Goddess in the other.

With her knowledge, Isis, one of the patron deities of medicine, healed the baby Horus, stung in the swamps by scorpions. Since then, like the Goddess Serket, she has sometimes been honored as the great mistress of the scorpions. Isis gave her secret knowledge to the Horus - with the unbelievable cunning plan, she helped Horus to defeat Seth during a dispute over the throne and inheritance of Osiris, so hawk-headed God could become a Pharaoh.

Nowadays, this beautiful, cunning and wise goddess is especially revered in the Wiccan tradition, where she appears as one of the faces of the Great Goddess, personifying the hypostasie of the Mother and High Priestess.

Isis is worshiped also by the Western Mysteries and a Golden Path's mages, where she is revered as the goddess of secret witchcraft and the patroness of the most intimate secrets of the essence of Magic. It is she who is prayed to in order to gain magical knowledge.

Isis is a Mother, the great magician and witch, walking in secret, unknown worlds and paths. Offer her generous gifts, from sweet old wine to gold and precious stones, and pray humbly to the Queen of Egypt.

She never refuses to help to children, or to a mother's prayer for a child - in other cases, everything depends on the changeable mood of this beautiful and powerful goddess.
