Isis


There are a couple names for the godesses Isis. For example Aset and Ast. The symbols for Isis are throne, kite, scorpion, sistrum, and tiet. The goddess Isis showed her as a woman wearing the solar disk between a pair of horns and a vulture headdress. Isis was also depicted as a woman,not a goddess, with a ordinary headdress also with a uraeus on her forehead. Isis was the daughter of Nut and Geb and sister of wife Osiris. Isis conceieved her son Horus or through magic or resurrecting Osiris. Isis is the mother of Horus and raised him very baddly. She raised him on a floating island called Chemmis. She raised himt here for a reason because she wanted to hide him from his uncle Seth. Seth wanted to murder Horus. Isis was a smart God and always did the right things. Isis hid Horus first of all because she didnt want horus getting murderred and also she wanted him to avenge his fathers death. All the pharoahs were Isis's sons and Isis loved all creatures like a mother. Her benevolence resulted in her worship beyond Egypt and as far away as Great Brittian. Isis suckles each pharaoh at her breast as his mother.
