Day of Isis:
Day of Isis: Greco-Roman holy day. Full Moon worship of Isis (Aset in the original ancient
Egyptian language). Worship of Isis spread throughout the Hellenic Empire and the later Roman
Empire and beyond into Germanic, Norse, and Celtic lands, across the Middle East and Asia, and south
through Africa.
The city of Paris is named for a great ancient temple to Isis (Per-Isis) and the Notre Dame Cathedral,
built on the site, still has the original Isis altar with the myth of Isis and Osiris depicted. Until the 1700s
the Notre Dame Cathedral still featured a prominent ancient statue of Isis (under the claim that it was the
Black Madonna). Unfortunately a French Witch stormed into Notre Dame and demanded the return of
the entire site and artwork, pointing out that the statue was actually of Isis rather than Mary. Horrified
Roman Catholic priests smashed the statue into rubble. The fate of the French WItch is not recorded, but
probably was death by torture.
The Day of Isis (each Full Moon) was celebrated with feasting, dancing, and singing. Along the Nile
and in other locations near a river, lake, or other body of water, the celebrants would float small wooden
or paper boats with lit candles in honor of Isis. In some places thousands of little boats would light up
the water. Sometimes colored paper would be put around the candles to create dazzling colored light
displays. Isis worshipers would put their hopes and dreams on scraps of paper on the boats, in the belief
that Isis would grant these in the coming lunar month.
Full Moon:
Full Moon: Wiccan holy day. Full Moon esbat at 16:54 Universal Time July 30, 2007; 5:48 p.m. on
July 29 Pacific Daylight Time. The word Esbat is derived fromt he Hebrew word Sabbath. The
Medieval Roman Catholic Church believed that everything that wasn’t Christian was derived from
Judaism, which they viewed as the ultimate anti-Christianity, and gave Jewish-sounding terminology to
Witchcraft practices.
