When everything is all stirred up, when things are changing, when things are moving—like right now—that’s when heka, magic, can be very effective. Even surprisingly so. With things in flux, a…

Isis and Seti I raising the Djed pillar of Osiris in the temple of Seti I at Abydos. The djed pillar represents the backbone of Osiris and is a symbol of strength.

We all need this pillar of strength right now. May you connect with your inner divinity, your inner strength, and your ability to rise from any obstacle today and all your tomorrows.

Isis the mother of Horus plays a dominant role in magic. As early as the pyramid texts, she was credited with extraordinary magical powers which were able to reverse or prevent the decay of her husbands body. She features in numerous spells throughout the 2nd millennium BC. In spite of her prominence in myth and magic she tended to play a secondary role in cults. No major temples were dedicated to Isis before the 1st Millennium. In magical texts she appears as a popular Goddess, sympathetic towards the humblest members of society. Of all the Egyptian deities she was the one most closely associated with the kind of suffering experienced by the majority of humankind.

Isis could also be given the epithet ' Savior ' indicating her willingness and ability to help individuals through her magic. 'Great of Magic ' ( heka ) is one of her most frequent used epithets and she is often referred to as using her akhu. By the late 1st millennium BC, when ritual magic was playing a more dominant role in temple cults, Isis appears with her son Horus overcoming the followers of Seth by spells and magic.
The famous Temple at Philae was built on an island close to the Egyptian border. It was probably intended to act as a magical protective barrier.The danger of both physical and supernatural invasions from Nubia was to be countered by Isis who was more powerful than a thousand soldiers.
