Taken from 'INVOKE THE GODDESS' by Kala Trobe.
Isis is one of the oldest godforms in existence; her history spans thousands of years of active worship. She has many aspects and each one a reflection of the needs and attitudes of those supplicating her at that time. From being a basic goddess of providence to fertility-bringing Great Mother to those of civilizing the people and protecting women and children by encouraging marriage and monogamous commitment.
In modern magickal practises she represents all goddesses from all cultures rolled into one. She is indeed the supreme female deity, her functional scope as wide as her sky-embracing, soul-protecting wingspan. (Llewellyn Publications. 2000)
