January 2nd
Advent of Isis
In ancient Egypt this day was set aside to honor the Goddess Isis, the Queen of Sorcery, Mother of the Moon, and Life of the Nile. At this time a ceremony known as the Advent of Isis was performed to honor the Goddess who brought civilization, peace, and prosperity to all of Egypt.
To the Egyptians Isis was the female principle of Nature–the Goddess of 1,000 names. She was revered as “the great magician” who protected her son Horus from predators and other dangers. Because she protected her son, many believed she would protect mortal children from perils of daily life as well.
