Isis

About

Isis was the wife of the god Osiris and is the Egyptian goddess of marriage, motherhood, kingship, the sky as well as magic and knowledge. She was the daughter of Geb and Nut and was the mother of Horus. She is strongly associated with motherhood given her role as the mother of Horus as well as kingship since she is said to have nursed all the pharaohs

Lore

When her husband was murdered by Set she traveled all over Egypt to gather the 26 pieces of Osiris and reassembled them and used magic she learned from the god Thoth to bring him back to life temporarily. Isis’ magic was able to resurrect him long enough for her to become impregnated with the god Horus.

Once the magic wore off Isis mummified his body and gave him a proper burial which allowed his soul to descend to the underworld where he ruled justly. She eventually gave birth to Horus and kept him safe until he reached the age where he could fight Set and avenge his father.

After defeating Set, Horus became the god of the sun while Isis became the goddess of the Sky and helping.

When to invoke

Like with most queen goddesses she can be invoked during marriages though the best time to invoke her is during pregnancy. She is well known for giving birth to Horus as well as protecting him during his childhood. She is a good goddess for mothers with young children to invoke. Like with Hecate she can also be invoked in matters regarding magecraft or wisdom.
