Gold, beauty and power have all come

together at once, early civilizations equalize

gold with gods and rulers. In their name

gold was sought after, dedicating to their

glorification. The earliest of history of our

human interaction with gold is long lost

to us, but its association with the gods, with

immortality and with wealth itself are common

to many cultures throughout the world.

It’s hypnotic, timeless natural beauty and it’s

resistance to tarnish made it enjoyable to work

and play with. Humans almost intuitively place

a high value on gold, equating it with power,

beauty, and the cultural elite. And since gold is

widely distributed all over the globe, we find

this same thinking about gold throughout

ancient and modern civilizations everywhere.

And Isis said...

“I know that the soul is aided

Sometimes by the heart's unrest,

And to grow means often to suffer --

But whatever is--is best.”

Isis, the Egyptian goddess

of rebirth remains one of

the most familiar images of

empowered and utter femininity.

The goddess Isis was the first

daughter of Geb, god of the

Earth, and Nut, the goddess of

the Overarching Sky. Isis was

born on the first day between

the first years of creation,

and was adored by her human

followers.

Isis was called the Mother of Life, but she

was also known as the Crone of Death. Her

immense powers earned her the titles of

"The Giver of Life" and "Goddess of Magic".

Her best known story illustrates why she is

simultaneously known as a creation goddess

and a goddess of destruction.

The ancient Egyptian goddess has many gifts

to share with modern women. Isis embodies

the strengths of the feminine, the capacity

to feel deeply about relationships, the act of

creation, and the source of sustenance and

protection.

At times Isis could be a clever

trickster empowered by her

feminine wiles rather than her

logic or brute strength, but it is

also the goddess Isis who shows

us how we can use our personal

gifts to create the life we desire

rather than simply opposing that

which we do not like.

"Isis, is the one that came from

the mountain in the midday of

summer, the dusty maiden; her

eyes full of tears and heart full

of sighs"

“Behold…I have come; thy weeping and prayer hath moved me to succor thee. I am She that

is the natural mother of all things, mistress and governess of all the elements, the initial

progeny of worlds, chief of the powers divine, queen of all

that are in the underworld, the principal of them that dwell in heaven, manifested alone and under One form of all

the gods and goddesses. At my will the planets of the sky, the

wholesome winds of the seas and the lamentable silences of hell

be disposed; my name, my divinity is adored throughout all the world, in divers manners, in

variable customs, and by many names."

Step into your power and make your decisions with courage.

Allow life to mirror the reflections of your actions back

to and make your assessments with honesty. To walk in the world as a collective being, whose actions, words and thoughts strengthen, bless and support the collective

human experience is a sacred path. All who embark upon it are supported eternally and without

judgement. We only see your intentions and are there to help you to gain a wider perspective so that you can walk through life

with more grace and ease. Do not fear your creative power. It is your

birthright.

Allow yourself to learn. Allow

yourselves to be novices, to take the

journey back to remembering while

knowing that many mistakes will be

made along the way. Do not try and

avoid the pitfalls of your journey

by playing small and allowing the

wills of others order you around.

The responsibility for your journey

will always and forever be on your

shoulders no matter what external

circumstances or people might be

telling you.

Page 20: Nefertiti Chic

It is important not to be afraid of power. You are not expected to make perfectly correct decisions

at all times to be given your power back. In fact no one ever took it away from you. You chose to give up your power due to your own judgement about the decisions you made in the past. Power is a

great amplifier and when you make decisions you see their effects on the whole of humanity not just yourself. Many do not want this

mirror. They cut away their power supply in order to avoid failure

and mistakes. To be powerful requires you to be at peace with failure, destruction and shame.

To stand in your power means you will make decisions and create

situations in your life that aren't always pleasurable to you or to

those around you.

The mistakes of your past have been

forgiven. The Universal Journey

knows where you are headed and

only sees your destination. The

Mother knows your heart and She

knows how easy it is to drown in

these stormy waters of life. She still

sees you as you are, not the ions

of belief systems that you have hid

yourselves under. Fear not, there is

no punishment. You no longer have

to hide your true power, ashamed

of the mistakes of your past.

I am Isis, Queen of Life-Force

energy, comfortable in my power

at ease with the magnificence of

my being. I ask that you step into

your own glorious light and

shine it upon the world once

more. You are regal, graceful and

infinite. Carry yourselves with

pride and know that you are

loved.
