Isis<br />

Egyptian Moon Goddess, Great Mother <strong>and</strong> Giver of Life. With Osiris, Isis <strong>and</strong> Horus<br />

(the divine child) made up a Holy Trinity. She is the Goddess of marriage,<br />

motherhood, fertility, magick, healing, reincarnation <strong>and</strong> divination, <strong>to</strong> name a few.<br />

Isis is the patroness of priestesses.<br />

One myth has Isis poisoning the Sun God Ra, offering <strong>to</strong> save him only if he would<br />

reveal his secret name. At last, at the brink of destruction, Ra gives Isis his heart, with<br />

the secret name it held, <strong>and</strong> his two eyes (the Sun <strong>and</strong> the Moon).<br />

Isis quells the poison <strong>and</strong> ends up with Ra's supreme power. In time the great Eye was<br />

passed along <strong>to</strong> her son Horus. Proclus mentions a statue of her which bore the<br />

inscription "I am that which is, has been <strong>and</strong> shall be. My veil no one has lifted."<br />

Hence, <strong>to</strong> lift the veil of Isis is <strong>to</strong> pierce the heart of a great mystery.
