Isis

Isis was an Ancient Egyptian goddess, worshipped throughout the Greco-Roman world.

This goddess was worshiped as friend of slaves, artisans, sinners and the downtrodden; she was worshipped as patron of nature, as the ideal mother and wife and listened to the prayers of aristocrats, maidens, rulers and the wealthy.

During the 5th dynasty, in 2 500BC the first written records of the worship of Isis appeared. Her Roman worshippers spread Isis to the farthest reaches of the empire through Egyptian cultural contact.

This worship spread particularly after Egypt was annexed to a Roman state in 30 BC, which followed Alexander the Great’ invasion of Egypt.

The goddess Isis was the 1st female child of Nut, the goddess of the Overarching Sky, and Geb, god of the Earth. She came into this world on the 1st day between the 1st years of creation.

This goddess spent time among her people, she taught women how to grind corn, spin flax and weave cloth. She was worshipped as the goddess of medicine and wisdom.
