Isis Goddess
of Nurturing
She relates to the zodiac sign of Cancer
Isis (pronounced eye'sis), also
know as Au Set ("exceeding
queen") and Isis Panthea ("Isis the All-Goddess"),
was worshipped in many places including Egypt, the
Roman Empire, Greece, and Germany.
When her beloved Osiris was killed
then dismembered and scattered by her brother Set,
Isis searched out the pieces and reassembled them.
She found all but his penis, which she replaced with
one of gold. Through use of her magic and healing
arts she brought Osiris back to life then conceived,
through his golden penis, the Sun God Horus.
When the temples of Isis were turned
into Christian churches, Isis with baby Horus on
her lap became the Virgin Mary and Jesus.
Isis
says it is time for mothering
Have you been giving all your mothering energy away
without keeping some for yourself?
Have you taken on a new project or
just had a new baby?
Do you feel that something needs
extra mothering, but you aren't up to it?
Did your own mother or caregiver
give you the mothering you needed?
Isis says it is important to get
the mothering you need in order to heal past wounds.
Everyone needs to be mothered, regardless of gender
or age.
Need to
heal the relationships with your mother? Then a workshop can really help you. See workshops

Isis
poem:
I conceived
carried
and birthed all life
Then, out of my love for you
my children
I gave you my beloved mate, Osiris
Lord of vegetation
God of the grain
to be cut down
and born again
I nursed you through sickness with my healing arts
I made you clothes and invented weaving and spinning
I watched over your first steps
helping you grow from infancy to maturity
I was even there with you
at the end
to hold your hand
and guide you to immortality
You were All
and I gave you all
and to you I was All
Isis, Great Goddess, All Mother
