some Isian hymns

Posted: February 26, 2012 in Isis / Aset, Poetry and Hymns

Enclosed are two prayers / hymns I have written which I use regularly in my daily devotions. They are directly inspired by both the hymns to Isis by Isidorus and by my own experience.  Perhaps some may find them of interest. What I attempt to do is to memorize them and chant them as they [...]

Psalms for the Lady

Posted: January 27, 2012 in Isis / Aset, Mary

One of the great sources of Marian devotional works from the Medieval Period is the Psalter of the Blessed Virgin Mary attributed to the Roman Catholic Saint Bonaventure of the 13th century CE. Several translations of this group of 150 small psalms to Mary are on the internet. Check out this link http://www.franciscan-sfo.org/ap/bona/PSALTER.htm to see [...]

Meeting Isis

Posted: August 21, 2010 in Isis / Aset

     Now for something different. Normally I have posted my own thoughts here on matters of Isis, Mary, religion, and what not. I have made some exceptions however when I have posted poetry or some other writings that I have thought to be interesting or beautiful. That is what I am doing now. This [...]

I am reopening this blog. Given my past record I seriously doubt that I will compose more than a few posts a month but we will see. To start this off, I will note the obvious. The blog again has a new name “Isis, Mary, and the Goddesses” which I hope reflects more accurately  where [...]

First Hymn to Isis by Isidorus

Posted: August 4, 2009 in Isis / Aset

In the next few weeks I plan to post copies of some of the major hymns to Isis. Those who have worshiped Isis for years may perhaps find nothing new in these. However perhaps new converts to Isis will find them to be of interest. I also plan to post some commentary on these hymns [...]

Aset Maryam

Posted: June 19, 2009 in Isis / Aset, Mary

I am going to shift gears here and hopefully eliminate some confusion. Any one who has read all the messages posted within this blog will note that subject of the blog initially was focused on  the Virgin Mary, who functions as the “feminine divine” within the Christian history.  The blog was named “All things Mary” to reflect that interest.

Why Isis?

Posted: June 19, 2009 in Isis / Aset

While I began worshipping the Goddess in the late 1980′s,  Isis became the center of my devotion and worship only after the turn of the century. It was only after over a decade of exploring the classical goddesses of the ancient world, the Hindu Goddesses, the esoteric Sophia tradition of Christianity, the Shekinah tradition of [...]

One of the ideas of modern liberal theologies is that the names of God are really not that important. Names, in fact, are commonly used to exclude people socially and theologically. Thus references to Christianity, God, Jesus can be used to exclude those people such as Hindus, Jews, and Moslems to whom these religious labels, [...]
