Isis Table Lamp Egyptian Isis Lamp Goddess Isis Goddess of Earth and Moon Egyptian God/Goddess Isis is honored today by goddess worshippers. The Fellowship of Isis is a worldwide movement that has helped revive her worship and she is also found in Wicca. For those of us whose spiritual path has included initiatory Wicca, one of the first things that we hear when initiated is the beautiful ritual text of the Great Mother Charge. In this, we are told to ‘Listen to the words of the Great Mother, who was of old also called among men Isis, Astarte … and by many other names.’The Wiccan Charge conveys that the Goddess is immanent – we find her in the natural world around us, but she is also transcendent. She is Goddess of earth and moon, but also of star. ‘Hear ye the words of the Star Goddess,’ says the Charge, ‘whose body encircleth the universe.’ This text, put together by Doreen Valiente (1922- 1999), draws on sources as diverse as Lucius Apuleius, who two thousand years ago became an initiate of Isis; on Charles Leland’s translation of The Gospel of the Witches, an Italian collection of witch lore, and on the writings of Aleister Crowley.The Charge is a powerful text that draws many people to Wicca. It invokes the Goddess of star and heaven who can remind us of aspiration, of that human longing to reach for what is beyond the confines of our individual lives, fixed in time and space. Transcendence is sometimes thought of as being the monopoly of the monotheisms but Paganism ,while respecting what is of the body, also reaches out to that which takes us beyond the confines of self.H: 20Hand Painted Resin.
