The
name Isis means “seat” or “throne”. She was regarded as
the symbolical mother of the King. In myth, she sought her dead husband
and brother, Osiris, conceived her son Horus by him, buried and mourned him
together with her sister Nephtys. Isis was regarded as the “Eye of Ra” and was
worshipped as the “Great of Magic” who had protected her
son Horus from snakes, predators and other dangers: thus she would protect
mortal children also.
The
ancient Egyptians regarded the Goddess as the “Eye of Ra”. Here
she carries the ankh and the papyrus sceptre of Goddesses; the horns and sun
disk of Hathor and the hieroglyph for the name Isis on top of the sun-disk.
She wears a feather dress and a headdress composed of a vulture, showing that
she was identified with Mut.
