Isis: Goddess of Magic & Healing — Who She Is & How to Work With Her

Who Is Isis?Isis is the great mother goddess of ancient Egypt — the goddess of magic, healing, motherhood, and the throne. She is one of the most powerful and widely worshipped deities in human history, her cult spreading from Egypt across the entire ancient world, from Rome to Britain. She is the mistress of magic, the healer of the sick, the protector of the dead, and the devoted wife and mother who reassembled her husband Osiris from fourteen scattered pieces and breathed life back into him.She is not a gentle, passive goddess. She is fierce, brilliant, and relentless in her love and her power. She outwitted Ra himself to learn his secret name — the source of all his power — and she used that knowledge to heal her son Horus. She is the goddess who proves that love and magic, wielded with intelligence and determination, can overcome even death.Her Origins & MythologyIsis is the daughter of Geb (earth) and Nut (sky), and the sister-wife of Osiris, the god of the afterlife. Her most famous myth is the resurrection of Osiris. When Set murdered Osiris and scattered his body in fourteen pieces across Egypt, Isis searched tirelessly until she found every piece. She reassembled him, used her magic to restore him to life long enough to conceive their son Horus, and then mummified him — creating the first mummy and establishing the rites of the dead.She then raised Horus in secret in the marshes of the Nile delta, protecting him from Set until he was old enough to claim his father's throne. She is the ultimate protective mother — fierce, resourceful, and utterly devoted.Her wings — depicted in Egyptian art as vast and powerful — shelter the dead and fan the breath of life into Osiris. She is the wind beneath the wings of resurrection itself.Her Symbols & Sacred Correspondences Symbols: The throne (her name means "throne"), the tyet knot (Isis knot), wings, the ankh, the sistrum, the star Sirius Animals: The kite (a bird of prey), cows, scorpions (she commands them), swallows Crystals: Lapis lazuli, turquoise, moonstone, clear quartz, malachite, carnelian, rose quartz, blue kyanite Colors: Deep blue, gold, green, white, turquoise Element: Water (healing, emotion, the Nile) and Air (her wings, breath of life) Moon Phase: Full moon — the time of her full power and the star Sirius rising Star: Sirius — her sacred star, whose rising heralded the flooding of the Nile Sacred Herbs of Isis Myrrh — deeply sacred to Isis, used in her temple rituals and in the embalming of Osiris.
