I envy you, oh mighty Isis
for having known a love
so wonderous and great
as that for your brother and husband Osiris
born on the first day of the five days
that once did not exist
and consumed in so great a love
that you conceived a child to be born
on the second day
of the five days
that once did not exist
I sing your praises, almighty Goddess
for searching for your beloved
whose body was entwined in a column
that was once a Tamarisk tree
and I praise you even more
for your devotion to Osiris
searching for the fourteen pieces of his body
scattered randomly along the Nile
until when the last piece could not be found
you used the magickal force of your love
to create the fourteenth piece
making him whole once more
I thank you, oh loving Isis
for teaching me
what true love can mean
and for showing me, oh mighty Goddess
how your love of Osiris was the source
of all warmth, beauty and light
in the world
and that the binding force
of your divine souls
was destined to entwine them
together throughout eternity
I honor you, most powerful Isis
for being the total of what
all goddesses aspire to be
You are the Earth Mother
and the Goddess of all other things
You are the Goddess of motherhood
and of devotion
of healing
and of the working of magickal spells
for no one can come close to you
most magickal Goddess
for only you
through your powerful magick
were able to learn
the most secret name of Ra
Praise be to you, beloved Isis
for you are known as
the Queen of Heaven and Earth
and of the underworld
and as the Goddess of the dead
and their burial rights
for, by retrieving and reassembling
your beloved Osisis
and by using your magick to become a kite
you enclosed your beloved's body
within your mighty wings
to breathe enough life into him
to impregnate you
so you might give birth to Horus
and in doing that, oh loving Isis
whose name even today means throne
by being the mother of Horus
living God and ruler of the world
you became the mother and protector
of the Pharoahs for all time to come
I sing my praises to you, oh blessed Isis
who represents the mystical bond
between heaven and earth
for you, oh mighty Goddess
stand between them
joining each with the other
fusing reality with eternity
and, thus creating in that bond
what scholars today
might call the Trinity
I pray to you, beloved Isis
to grant me the strength
to do what is right
to allow me the knowledge
to do it well
and to give me the wisdom and humility
to admit when I am wrong
and the courage to make it right
Hear my prayer, my lady Isis
for you are the world
and the world is a most wonderous place
but, most importantly, my world is you
