Isis represents the richness of the Earth, whose bounty arose through her union with her beloved Osiris, manifested in the Waters of the Nile. Isis is the Mother of Hours, the Sun God. Isis is also joined to the Morning Star, Venus. She is said to have been the first to practice embalming, which the Ancient Egyptians believed held the key to immortality. For this supreme gift, she is remembered as the Peerless Magician who gave humanity the chance to attain eternal life.
