Living in a patriarchy system, it is rare that women are celebrated. Mother’s Day is a time when the divine feminine can freely express herself. As daughters of this spiritual power, it is very important that we tap into her energy to manifest the life of our dreams.
The rise of male-dominated monotheism (exemplified by Yahweh in Judaism, Christianity, and Islam) often overshadowed earlier goddess worship—but traces of the Great Mother lingered in surprising ways. The Egyptian goddess Isis played a particularly fascinating role in this transition, indirectly influencing the development of Abrahamic religions. Here’s how:
Isis: The Universal Mother Goddess
Before Yahweh became the supreme God of the West, Isis was one of the most widely worshipped deities in the Mediterranean. Her cult spread from Egypt to Greece, Rome, and beyond, thanks to her universal appeal:
- Goddess of Magic & Resurrection: She reassembled and revived her murdered husband, Osiris, symbolizing triumph over death.
- Divine Mother: She gave birth to Horus, the savior-king, and was depicted nursing him—an image later echoed in Virgin Mary iconography.
- Claimed Omnipotence: Inscriptions called her the “One Who Is All” (similar to Yahweh’s “I Am Who I Am”).
By the Hellenistic period (4th–1st century BCE), Isis was syncretized with other goddesses (Aphrodite, Demeter) and even marketed as a single, all-powerful goddess—a step toward monotheism.
