Welcome to the Zen Buddhist Order of Hsu Yun. The Jefferson Bible (The Life & Morals of Jesus of Nazareth) Internet Sacred Text Archive Home. Barbelith. Isis, Egyptian Goddess of Magic and Life. Isis, the Egyptian goddess of rebirth remains one of the most familiar images of empowered and utter femininity.
The goddess Isis was the first daughter of Geb, god of the Earth, and Nut, the goddess of the Overarching Sky. Isis was born on the first day between the first years of creation, and was adored by her human followers. Unlike the other Egyptian goddesses, the goddess Isis spent time among her people, teaching women how to grind corn and make bread, spin flax and weave cloth, and how to tame men enough to live with them (an art form on which many of us would welcome a refresher course!)
Isis taught her people the skills of reading and agriculture and was worshipped as the goddess of medicine and wisdom. More than any other of the ancient Egyptian goddesses, Isis embodied the characteristics of all the lesser goddesses that preceded her.
