 I am Isis, the Egyptian goddess of magic, motherhood, royalty, and family commitment. Isis is my Greek name, but I am known as Aset to the Egyptians that worship me. My Egyptian name can be spelled in many different ways such as Ast, Iset, and Uset, they are usually translated as "(female) of the throne" or "Queen of the throne".

 I am often described as a beautiful woman and am distinguished by my 'wings of light'. I have dark hair (with diamonds in it) brown eyes, tan skin, and I wear flowing white robes. Many people recognize me when they see a woman wearing a vulture headdress and the red solar disk between a pair of golden horns. I have also been described as having the face of a mother, with kind and caring features.

I am the first daughter of Geb, god of the earth, and Nut, the goddess of the overarching sky. I am the sister of Osiris, Nephthys, and Seth. My husband is Osiris and I am the loving mother of my son Horus. My husband and I ruled the earth together until he was killed by my brother Seth who had been over come with jealousy so to keep my son safe I had to raise him on my own in secret.

 I am ambitious and a loyal wife and mother. I possess the conventional powers of the Egyptian gods. I have superhuman strength, longevity, and I am resistant to harm. I have great mystical skills that enable me to manipulate the elemental forces of the universe. I also have the power to raise and protect the spirits of the dead.

One of my weaknesses is my want/need to win and maintain my power at any cost.

  Unlike other Egyptian goddesses, the goddess I spent time among my 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. I taught my people the skills of reading and agriculture.

More than any other of the ancient Egyptian goddesses, I embodied the characteristics of all the lesser goddesses that preceded me. I became the model on which future generations of female deities in other cultures were to be based.
