N9. Egyptian Neter - Isis, The Queen of Earth. The Crown of Isis

Queen of Heaven and Earth, wife of Osiris, mother of Horus and daughter of Nut. Her cult lasted from prehistory into the Christian era. She is wife widow, mother, protector, saviour, comforter and destroyer - the ultimate female in Egyptian tradition.

From Hymn to Isis;

O Thou holy and eternal saviour of the human race

Thou bestowed a mothers tender affections

on the misfortunes of unhappy mortals

Then dispelled in the storms of life

and stretched forth Thy right hand of salvation

by which Thou unravels even the inextricably tangled web of Fate

Thou turnest the Earth in its orb

Thou givest light of the Sun

Thou rules the world

Thou treadest Death underfoot

To Thee the Stars are responsive

By Thee the seasons turn

and gods rejoice

and the elements are in subjection
