Personally, I support Isis.

Isis, Egyptian Goddess

of Magic and Giver of Life

Isis, the Egyptian goddess of rebirth remains one of the most familiar images of empowered and utter femininity. The goddess Isis was the first daughter of Geb, god of the Earth, and Nut, the goddess of the Overarching Sky. Isis was born on the first day between the first years of creation, and was adored by her human followers.

Unlike the other Egyptian goddesses, the goddess Isis spent time among her people, teaching women how to grind corn and make bread, spin flax and weave cloth, and how to tame men enough to live with them (an art form on which many of us would welcome a refresher course!)

Isis taught her people the skills of reading and agriculture and was worshipped as the goddess of medicine and wisdom.

25. I Remember Watching That

It was on during the mid 70s.

32. Glad I scrolled down...

I was thinking the same thing.

2. I rather enjoyed reading the Sci-Fi trilogy back in the 80s

In hindsight, though, the author really ripped off (repurposed?) a lot of other peoples ideas and mashed them together as her own.

3. Well, if it hadn't been for Constantine having a battlefield hallucination...

She'd probably be the primary deity of the western world.

And it's "Aset." The Greeks totally mangled Khemetic names when they transliterated 'em.

5. Ice is good with whiskey. But only really good whiskey.

[KansDem]

19. You beat me to it...

I was going to say "Isis in a glass with ginis."

Maybe with a twist of limis.

6. I married Isis on Cinco De Mayo

[christx30]

20. A post like that could put you into the...

DANGER ZONE!

[Initech]

21. LANA!!! LANA!!!! LANAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!

"WHAT?????"
"Danger zone!"

[kairos12]

8. NSA will read this incorrectly. LOL.

[shenmue]

9. Me too

[BillZBubb]

10. I was interested in how you would talk your way out of the title...

If there was some "god" named HAMAS, we could really have some fun.

11. Isis in her canopic jar

[farmbo]

12. "O Isis und Osiris" from Mozart's The Magic Flute...

... one of the most hauntingly beautiful love ballads in Operatic history

It will take more than a third-rate Caliphate to wreck this kind of beauty.

[ColesCountyDem]

13. "Knock knock". "Who's there?". "Homeland Security".

[eggplant]

15. "Can't be. They never knock." n/t

[liberaltrucker]

16. They wouldn't knock

[eggplant]

14. "Faster, zephyr wind!"

[moriah]

17. It also reminds me of one of her lovely partners in deitihood....

Who is the sun god?
Who is the one god?
Who's the most fun god?
Ra, Ra, Ra!

18. Bob Zimmermman married

Isis on the 5th day of May (but he could not hold on to her very long).

[Jackpine Radical]

23. Yeah, ol' Bobby Z.

Just another ol' boy from Hibbing trying to rise above his Iron Range origins.

[H2O Man]

27. That was on his

biggest-selling album. He made a lot of money off that, and a couple "benefit" concerts he did. Odd man.

[kwassa]

31. My birthday! Cinco de Mayo!

[H2O Man]

34. A good day!

(My best friend; my second-cousin who is a close associate; my favorite uncle; and one of my son's, too.

Plus, Floyd Mayweather tends to fight on or near that date.

22. Not to go "Woo Woo" here...but, the chosen Media Name...does cause some

Mundane (world affairs) Astrologers to believe that her presence grinding through the heavens while all this war, disruption and negativity is going on here on the ground on Earth...will mean that eventually we will have a sorting out of Global Differences and this is a very good sign that Isis is there because it's HOPEFUL..And, the Astrologers have pegged it....that we've been going through some transformative times...where all will be different going forward than what we knew of ....looking back. We are comparable to the 1960's in some ways..if anyone remembers that time....as I do. New Stuff is Cooking...and it's not going to be what we are all so familiar with. Traditionalists amongst us are going to have to deal with this...and the ugly...and the rocking of our foundations.

Just throwing that out for those of a more "spiritual seeking nature," amongst our DU'ers.

Burning Times

Burning Times

In the cool of the evening, they used to gather,
'neath the stars in the meadow circling an old oak tree.
At the times appointed by the seasons of the earth and
the phases of the moon.
In the center, often stood a woman, equal with the others
respected for her word.
One of the many they call the witches, the healers and
the teachers of the wisdom of the Earth.
And the people grew in the knowledge she gave them,
herbs to heal their bodies, smells to make their spirits whole.
Hear them chanting healing incantations, calling for the wise ones
celebrating in dance and song.
Isis, Astarte, Diana, Hecate, Demeter, Kali, Inanna

There were those who came to power, through domination.
They were bonded in their worship of a dead man on a cross.
They sought control of the common people by demanding allegiance
to the church of Rome.
And the Pope he commenced the inquisition, as war against the women
whose powers they feared.
In this holocaust, in this age of evil, nine million European
women they died.
And a tale is told of those who by the hundreds, holding hands together
chose their deaths in the sea.
While chanting the praises of the Mother Goddess, their refusal of betrayal
women were dying to be free.
Isis, Astarte, Diana, Hecate, Demeter, Kali, Inanna

Now the Earth is a witch, and we still burn her. Stripping her down
with mining and the poison from our wars.
Still to us the Earth is a healer, a teacher and a mother.
The weaver of a web of light that keeps us all alive.
She gives us the vision to see through the chaos,
she gives us the courage, it is our will to survive!
Isis, Astarte, Diana, Hecate, Demeter, Kali, Inanna
