The Egyptian goddess Isis, is the one goddesses that stood the test of time for over 10,000 years. But why, we ask? We will began to unravel three mysteries that encompasses this enigmatic figure. Who was she? What does she represent to us? What was she able to teach us? There is a romance between the active principle of God and the passive principle of Nature. From the union of these two principles is produced the rational creation. Man is a composite creature. From his Father (the active principle) he inherits his Divine Spirit, the fire of aspiration–that immortal part of himself which rises triumphant from the broken clay of mortality: that part which remains after the natural organisms have disintegrated or have been regenerated. From his Mother (the passive principle) he inherits his body–that part over which the laws of Nature have control: his humanity, his mortal personality, his appetites, his feelings, and his emotions. The Egyptians also believed that Osiris was the river Nile and that Isis (his sister-wife) was the contiguous land, which, when inundated by the river, bore fruit and harvest. The murky water of the Nile were believed to account for the blackness of Osiris, who was generally symbolized as being of ebony hue.The Divine Mother, called the Universal Mother or Cosmic Virgin, is the feminine polarity of the All which we call God. She is the “other half” of Father. Her Yin to His Yang. Yet they are One and contain no sex. However energy is masculine and feminine. God personified as the force of Nature.
Isis is the Greek form associated with the word for “throne,” of many ancient names for the goddess. Her original headdress was a representation of an empty throne chair belonging to her murdered husband Osiris. As the personification of the throne, she was an important source of the Pharaoh’s power. Originally, Isis was known as Aset, or Eset, A moon goddess, she gives birth to the sun, creates and sustains all life, and is the savior of all people.
