The ancient Egyptian goddess Isis was worshiped throughout Egypt, from very early dates. Isis was considered to be the patron saint of women, mothers, and children. Additionally, in Ancient Egyptians referred to her as Isis the goddess of Ancient Egypt magic. It is said that she managed to trick Ra into revealing his secret name to her, and in doing so she received many magical powers.

Unlike many Egyptian gods and goddesses, she remained in the same form from the beginning of her history to current dates many temples were dedicated to her in her honor and for worshipping her.

Isis (Isis The Goddess Of Ancient Egypt) was a winged goddess who represented all that was visible, birth, growth, development, and vigor. She was also the wind goddess. The kite was sacred to her and she could transform herself into this bird. She represented both the life-giving spring of winds of Egypt and the morning winds that hailed the arrival of the sun each day.

The ancient Egyptians saw Isis was a benevolent goddess, good and kind. Each pharaoh was considered her son and Isis loved all creatures like a mother. She was the chaste and devoted wife and as a result regarded highly among all the gods. Isis was the daughter of Nut and Geb and the sister and wife of Osiris. 

Isis aided her husband during his reign as the king of Egypt and searched madly for his body after his death so that he might be given a proper burial. Isis conceived her son Horus through magic or by resurrecting Osiris. She raised her son in the papyrus and lotus thickets of the floating island of Chemmis, to protect the child from his uncle Seth.

Greek Corruption

Isis (Greek corruption. The Egyptian is Aset) was originally a goddess from Nubia. Her name literally means a female of a throne,i.e. Queen of the Throne, although the hieroglyphic used originally meant “female of flesh”, i.e. mortal, and she may simply have represented deified, real queens. It was sometimes said that she was the daughter of Tawaret, the goddess of royal birth.

As the deification of the wife of the Pharaoh, Isis protected the body of the dead Pharaoh, as an intrinsic part of her job as a royal protector. Thus she gained a funerary association and was said to be the mother of the four gods who protected the canopic jars.

Isis was viewed as the protector of the god Imsety. This idea connecting her to the Pharaoh’s wife, also brought the concept of linking Isis with Horus, as his spouse, who was the deification of the Pharaoh.

In another area of Egypt when the pantheon was formalized, Isis became the Ennead of Heliopolis.

The goddess remained popular in Egyptian mythology till the Romans and Greeks. Today she is worshipped in many circles and the temple of Isis (Isis The Goddess Of Ancient Egypt) remains a popular icon.
