Isis Book Review

The is the best book I have seen on the goddess. The author understands the needs of the followers of Isis. I couldn't put this book down I wanted to know and read more. Everyone that follows Isis/Aset should read this book!

Isis, Isis--Ra! Ra! Ra!

This book could be subtitled: "Anything You Ever Wanted to Know about Isis, But Didn't Know Where to Find it..." There's a LOT of information here, from clothing and divination to mythology and history. The information is presented in an interesting and quite readable manner and there are tons of illustrations. If you have believed that Isis was solely an Egyptian Goddess, Goddess of Love and the Great Mother, this book will set you straight, showing you Isis as Goddess of Healing and Magick, Sun and Moon Goddess, Goddess of the Stars and Earth and much more. She is associated with Gods and Goddesses of Scandinavian, Roman, Celtic, Greek and Asian pantheons. I highly recommend this book for the student, worshipper and researcher of Isis.

Wonderful Wonderful Wonderful!

One of the best books I've read in a long time. Unlike many other "god/dess" specific books she wasn't at all purly historic. She really delved into everything that Mother Aset is. I wouldn't give up my copy for the world :O)

An Invaluable Resource for Isian Worship, Highly Recommended

Set up as a day in the temple of Isis, each of the twenty-four chapters corresponds to a different hour of one day and one night. They are then dedicated to portraying a different aspect of this unique goddess, chapter by chapter, and to the various facets of her worship. Years of study and love of the subject reflect within the pages of this book. The author shows the influence of Isian worship as it spread from ancient Egypt to the temples of Greece, Rome, the Far East and into Northern Europe. Clear presentations are given for constructing rites, invocations, for making ritual tools and robes for use in the modern day; including valuable Isian correspondences of symbols, stones, plants, scents, metals and colors. From her earthly home along the banks of the Nile to the star Sirius, or Sothis, known as the Home of the Soul of Isis, we are given a glimpse of the universal appeal and influence of this ancient goddess. Ms. Regula's book provides a vibrant, unique portrait of goddess centered worship based on sound historic research and modern day magickal practice. Since I first read it two and one half years ago, I have used it as a reference again and again.
