[[File:isis.jpeg|frame|right|Isis]]Isis was the first daughter of [[Geb]], god of the Earth, and [[Nut]], goddess of the Sky. She married her brother, [[Osiris]], and she conceived Horus with him. Isis was instrumental in the resurrection of [[Osiris]] when he was murdered by [[Set]]. Using her magical skills, she restored his body to life after having gathered the body parts that had been strewn about the earth by Set. Isis is also known as protector of the dead and goddess of children. | |||
