Hello, Isiacs! I’m off celebrating the equinox today. Yes, it’s Portland and it’s overcast and chilly. But the daffodils are blooming and all the little green shoots are coming up.
So, no post today, but I’ll leave you with some images of Our Lady that I had the privilege to see at the Egyptian Museum.
Isis in a somewhat unusual squatting postion
A classic mourning Isis
An Isis aegis; these busts of the Deities were sometimes used to decorate the sacred boats in which They were carried among the people during festivals
An Isis-Aphrodite with Her bare vulva and show-girl hat
Not Isis, but Her son Horus; this is a cippi of Horus used for healing. You pour water over the image and magical words. It gathers in the basin below…and you drink that as your cure.
Who needs sanitation when you have Isis on your side?
Yes, I know sanitation is incredibly important and that our ancestors didn’t necessarily understand the germ theory of disease. I’m just saying that I personally wouldn’t allow that to stop me. I probably would pay for that with my health but it’s a sacrifice I am willing to make!

Oh the cippi! How could we do that sanitarily at festival? POWERFUL!
I know, right!?!
