The Impact of Goddess Isis: A Tribute on Women’s Day

March 8th, 2025 – International Women’s Day / Isis Loving Women Who Changed The World!

“We take spiritual initiation when we become conscious of the Divine within us, and thereby contact the Divine without us.” ― Dion Fortune

Today on International Women’s Day, we here at the Temple of Isis celebrate the spiritual path that the Divine Mother Isis created through her own Embodied Archetype as the Sacred Feminine Principle of Ancient Egypt.

Isis herself is the Holy Wisdom, the Creatrix of the material world, when she refers to Wisdom as, “the mediatrix between Heaven and Men.” Isis, is an emanation of the Creator Gods of Egypt, who embodied the archetype of the beneficent mother and savior goddess. It was she who bestowed sovereignty upon the pharaohs, lending them the right to rule their kingdoms under Her name.

Her devotion transcends class and culture. Her worship spread from the shores of Egypt, throughout the Mediterranean, into Ireland, England, Gaul, Anatolia, the Middle East and along the Silk Road, into Russia.

She was a healer, a wife and lover, a mother, and not just to her son Horus, but to her devoted. She resurrected the dead and provided her milk of abundance. One of her most important attributes was her accessibility. By her myths, not only was she powerful, savvy and a loving protectress, but equally important, the people felt she could understand their pain.

The people knew her as a Goddess who had experienced the sorrow of loss, betrayal, and strife. They believed she could understand and alleviate their sorrow and if they performed the right rituals and carried out her favor, they too might have some control over the forces of chaos that threatened their lives. She could provide light, truth, salvation and security
