About Isis
Isis - Her name literally means "queen of the throne."
One of the most important female deities, Isis was the protectress of motherhood, healer of the sick, and protectress of women.
She also rules magic - especially protection and healing.
Sick with grief concerning the murder of her husband Osiris by his brother Set, Isis reconstructed and reanimated his corpse long enough for it to impregnate her with their only son Horus.
Ancient Egyptians believed that the Nile flooded every year because of her tears of sorrow for her dead husband, Osiris. Her methods for getting pregnant and having a child were unconventional, but many people think that our methods are unconventional as well.
Her story does show how far someone will go to have a baby. She was determined and committed to making it happen. It could be thought of as an early version of IVF.
