So now we have Isis the wife of Osiris [God of fertility and the underworld] and mother of Horus [God of the sky and the east](Mythology, Littleton, S.C., 2002).Then we also have her as the mother of the savior of the world, the Holy mother Mary. So now I would like to introduce her as yet a couple more Goddesses and a God to show her as the mother of all creation. To do this I would like to remind you of Isis being Osiris’ wife, so this affiliates her with Ament “the great lady of the underworld”(Wikipedia). She “assisted in transforming the bodies of the blessed dead into those wherein they were to live in the Realm of Osiris”(Wikipedia). Now being Ament, this makes her yet the mother of another God and that is Ra. Also Ament is the hidden Goddess. So let’s look at the translation of one who is hidden. This word is Amun and if we look close we find that Amun and his female counterpart Ament. Also to even associate more here there is also Iusaaset [which is Amun’s shadow]. So now we have shown Isis as there in the beginning of time as Ament the female counterpart of Amun the father or mother of all.
To me she is the pillar of womanhood. She is a loving wife and mother. She is a healer even to those who have crossed her. Like the time she had mercy on her brother Seth and healed him. She is intelligent and powerful. She is the ultimate caregiver!

Now lay on the ground looking up at the moon feel her rays coming down filling your body with Isis’ power. Lay there and soak it all in. Feel the power pulsing throughout your body. When you’ve reached the point where you can contain it no longer release it. Let it flow out of into the universe share it with others, so they too can feel the power and love that is Isis. See the energy that was released fall down into your amulet in a silver shower. This amulet is a symbol and reminder of her great love for us and that we all have the power of Isis within us and we only need to look within ourselves to tap into it.
