Description

ISIS. EGYPTIAN GODDESS by VALENTINA KONDRASHOVA.

Belongs to the Galery RUSSIAN ARTISTS NEW WAVE.

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.
Isis taught her people the skills of reading and agriculture and was worshipped as the goddess of medicine and wisdom.
Isis was called the Mother of Life, but she was also known as the Crone of Death. Her immense powers earned her the titles of "The Giver of Life" and Goddess of Magic. Her best known story illustrates why she is simultaneously known as a creation goddess and a goddess of destruction.
