Isis Crystal

These crystals are named after the Egyptian goddess, Isis, which means "seat" or "throne". The story of Isis is one of the most powerful of Egyptian myths. It tells of her unyielding efforts to rescue her husband, Osiris, after Seth had had him murdered and dismembered out of jealously.

Isis braved a variety of physical and metaphysical dangers in order to find the scattered pieces of Osiris, setting up a shrine every time she found one. Through magical means,  she managed to bring Osiris back to life only briefly,  but  long enough for her to conceive their son, Horus.

She was regarded as the symbolical mother of the King and was worshipped as the "Great Goddess of Magic. As a mother, she protected her son Horus from snakes, predators  and other dangers, and because of this,  it was believed she would also protect mortal children.  The ancient Egyptians regarded Isis as the "Eye of Ra".

To those who have suffered deep emotional loss and who may feel that life is unjust, the story of Isis offers the power of self healing, inner strength, and perseverance. It tells us that focused desire and belief in our own power can create miracles. This is also the teaching of the Isis crystal.

An Isis crystal has a pentagon-shaped face with two lines extending at  outward angles from the base line and two longer lines extending inward to form a point. The lower lines symbolize reaching outward into the world to face its challenges and gathering experience. The upper lines symbolize coming back inward to spirit. The design as a whole symbolizes the unity and blending of opposites.

Conflict and contradiction can create unbalanced emotions and pain. We may, for example, want to believe that life is meant to be a joyful experience, but find that pain from the past blocks our ability to feel joy.

Some crystal authorities believe the painful past must be reviewed in order to be healed. I don't. It's my feeling (and not a fact) that when one's focus is on negative emotions, they tend to grow. My approach with an Isis crystal is to ask for healing and balance without addressing or remaining in the situation that needs to be healed.

This crystal has five sides on her face, (front side)  and a perfect triangle on the back side.  The more symmetrical the opposite sides of the face the more balancing the characteristics of this crystal are. The bottom line of the five sides represents the earth plane,  the sides of the Isis or Goddess Crystal will help you with self-healing of emotional pain or the loss of a loved one.  

This crystal holds a wonderful feminine energy and the five sides hold the vibration of the five which is the same as the vibration of Quan Yin we use in Magnified Healing. 

However,  the Isis Crystal is not only for women,  but excellent for men too who are experiencing their female side and developing their intuition. 

There is a beautiful description of the Isis crystal in Katrina Raphaell's book.
