    Isis

    Isis was the goddess of healing and magic in Ancient Egypt. Isis was the daughter of Geb, the earth god and
    Nut the sky goddess. She had three sibling Osiris the god of underworld and fertility, Set the god of chaos
    and storms, and Nephthys the goddess of death and mourning.

    Isis was married to her brother Osiris, and had a son, Horus, the god falcon who later became the king of
    Egypt. The most famous story involving Isis is the myth of Osiris. In this myth, Set, jealous of his brother's
    power, murders Osiris and scatters his body parts throughout Egypt. Isis, searches for the pieces and
    reassembles them, using magic to bring Osiris back to life, but only as a spirit. She then conceives Horus with
    Osiris's spirit, ensuring the continuation of the royal line.

    Isis was also associated with other myths appearing as a healer, protector, or mother. It was believed she
    had powers to transforms herself into animals such as a cow, bird or a scorpion.

    She was depicted with different symbols, the ankh the symbol of life, the sistrum a musical instrument, and
    the winged sun disk. She was often portrayed as a beautiful woman wearing a white robe and a crown with
    the hieroglyph for "throne." She was also sometimes depicted as a cow or a bird.

    Isis was one of the most popular worshipped goddess in ancient Egypt. She was seen as a protector of
    women and children, a healer, and a source of hope and inspiration. Her cult spread throughout the
    Mediterranean and beyond, being worshipped by the Romans.
    Isis's legacy continues to be felt today. She is a popular figure in modern culture, and her story has been
    adapted in various forms, including literature, film, and music. She is also a symbol of female empowerment
    and resilience.
