Goddess Isis and Nephthys Transmission: Protection Both Day and Night
In this transmission we call upon these two twin Goddesses for magical protection across both morning/day and twilight/night.The Goddess Isis, (known to the Egyptians as Aset or Eset) was the daughter of the earth god Geb and the sky goddess Nut. She was the sister of Osiris, Seth, and Nephthys. Her Greek name translates to “Queen of the Throne” which is reflected in her headdress, which is often depicted as a throne. Isis was associated with the falcon and was often depicted with wings of a Falcon.To the Ancient Egyptians the Goddess Nephthys (known to the Egyptians as Nebthwt or Nebthet) and her name translated as “Lady of the House” or “Lady of the Temple.” Nephthys was married to Set who represented the desert, while Nephthys represented the air. As a goddess of the air, she could take the form of a bird, and was often associated with the hawk or vulture.Isis married her brother Osiris, and they ruled Egypt while her sister Nephthys was married to Set.According to the Myth of Isis and Nephthys - In the story Nephthys deceives Osiris by magically changing her appearance so that she appeared to be Isis. In this deception she conceived a son, Anubis. When Set killed Osiris the two sisters were reconciled as Nephthys grieved for Osiris along with Isis. Nephthys aided Isis in finding and gathering Osiris’s scattered body and together they called him back to life.Whereas Isis had strong links with the light of the risen sun and with Egyptian kingship, Nephthys was associated with the setting sun, twilight, and darkness. Isis and Nephthys are the mirror image of each other, both are magical protectors. Isis can be sought for magical protection during the day and Nephthys can be sought for magical protection during the night. The goddesses are so similar in appearance that usually only their headdresses can distinguish them. They always appear together in ancient Egyptian funerary scenes.
