Who is Isis?
Goddess of Magic, Motherhood & the Moonlit Mysteries
In the golden lands of ancient Egypt, where the Nile winds like a snake through shifting sands and temple stones whisper secrets to the stars, there rises the radiant figure of Isis—Great Lady of Magick, Queen of Heaven, and Mother of All.
She is draped in starlight and crowned with the throne of divine power. Her wings are wide enough to shelter nations. Her tears give life to the earth. And her name? It lingers in the air like perfume, ancient and eternal.
Let us walk now through moonlight and memory, into the sacred legend of Isis.
Isis, known as Aset in the original Egyptian tongue, is one of the most revered goddesses in all of myth. She is mother, sorceress, healer, queen, and priestess, all at once. In Egyptian cosmology, she is the daughter of Geb (Earth) and Nut (Sky), sister-wife to Osiris, and mother to the falcon-headed god Horus.
But she is more than titles and roles. Isis is the divine feminine in full bloom—compassionate yet cunning, nurturing yet powerful, soft but never small.
In later periods, her worship spread across Greece and Rome, where she was honored as Queen of the Cosmos, protector of sailors, mothers, and seekers of mystical knowledge. Even today, her energy lives on in the hearts of modern witches, mystics, and moon lovers.
The Legend of Isis and Osiris: A Tale of Love and Magick
Once, in the time before time, Isis and Osiris ruled Egypt with grace and harmony. The land was fertile, the people were joyful, and peace reigned. But jealousy lurked in the heart of Set, Osiris’s brother, who desired the throne for himself.
In a twisted plan, Set tricked Osiris into lying down in a gilded sarcophagus, slammed it shut, and cast it into the Nile. Grief swept over the land as Isis wept for her beloved.
But Isis was no ordinary queen. She donned her cloak of feathers, chanted sacred spells, and searched the world for her love. When she finally found his body, she hid it in the reeds—but Set found it again, and in a fury, scattered Osiris’s pieces across the earth.
Isis, undeterred, became a goddess of resurrection. With the help of her sister Nephthys and her unmatched magick, she gathered his body, breathed life into it once more, and conceived their son, Horus.
Though Osiris would become Lord of the Underworld, Horus would grow to reclaim the throne. And Isis? She became the most powerful magician in existence—one who could heal the sick, raise the dead, and command the stars.
