Isis
Isis is regarded as the greatest Egyptian goddess, the embodiment of female divinity.Her Latin epithet was Stella Maris, or "star of the sea".
She is the goddess of Moon and Cow is her sacred animal because she nurtures and feeds mankind.
The horns of the cow create the base of her crown and represent the moon, upon which set the solar disc- thus, she represents both male and female divine principles.
She was the sister and wife of Osiris, sister of Set, and twin sister of Nephthys. She symbolizes all that true and pure in woman and her devotion to Osiris became a legend.
While Isis is associated with the attributes and functions of virtually every other important goddess in Egypt, but was mostly known for her qualities in motherhood, marital devotion -become synonymous with the image of devvoted mother and wife She also heals the sick, and the working of magical spells and charms. She was believed to be the most powerful magician in the universe, owing to the fact that she had learned the Secret Name of Ra from the god himself.

Isis was great Egyptian goddess and possessed skills in working magic. To call her aid:
Set up an alter with gifts with of honey and wine. Place a dried yellow flower on the altar as a symbol of the Egyptian sun and say:

"Great Isis, who gives life unto the flocks and herds, all the land rejoices when you are descended.
You are the bringer of food, the creator of all things good. You care for the poor and needy and I am in need"
Speak of your desire- for love or anything else. Afterwards, keep the flower somewhere safe.






 
 

Bast (Baste)
Bastet is also associated with the eye of Ra, the sun god, and acts as an instrument of his vengeance. She was reportly sent by Ra to kill mortals who were cease to worship Ra. Bast was so vicious that the practically wipe out mankind and Ra has to tame the lionness and soften her rage. The cat-headed goddess is worshipped in the Delta city of Bubastis. Some people see her as a domestic cat, but I think she resembles the lionness. A protectress of cats and those who cared for cats. As a result, an important deity in the home, since cats were prized pets.  Egyptians keep sacred cats in her temple who were supposed to be incarnations of the goddess. When they died they were carefully mummified (Mummifed cats were commonly found by tomb extractors in Egypt)

My relationship with Bast (the patron of my home)
Place on my altar is the statute of Bast. Smudge to purified the air and occasional incense treat.
I speak to Bast for  :

I consider Bast as the protector of my home. Before I sleep or go away on a long trip, I enter into a semi-trace and ask Bast to guard my house. In my vision, I would picture Bast in all her lionness glory, pacing up and down my balcony and her "roar" would deflect any negativity from coming into my house.
