ISIS
Egyptian Moon Goddess, Great Mother and Giver of Life.
With Osiris, Isis and
Horus (the divine child) made up a Holy Trinity. She is the Goddess of marriage,
motherhood, fertility, magick, healing, reincarnation and divination, to
name a
few. Isis is the patroness of priestesses.
One myth has Isis poisoning the Sun God Ra, offering
to save him only if he
would reveal his secret name. At last, at the brink of destruction, Ra gives
Isis his heart, with the secret name it held, and his two eyes (the Sun
and the
Moon).
Isis quells the poison and ends up with Ra's supreme
power. In time the great
Eye was passed along to her son Horus. Proclus mentions a statue of her
which
bore the inscription "I am that which is, has been and shall be. My
veil no one
has lifted." Hence, to lift the veil of Isis is to pierce the heart
of a great
mystery.
