Offering to Isis: Knowing the Goddess Through Her Sacred Symbols Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)M. Isidora Forrest proved with her publication of Isis Magic in 2001 that modern
Neopaganism and Goddess Spirituality is capable of attaining depth and spiritual
maturity. Now with Offering to Isis, she joins the ranks of those who have
demonstrated that it is also capable of illuminating and deeply moving poetic
beauty in its worship.
Isis Magic provided a detailed history of the historic worship of Isis, and an
extensive set of spiritual and magical practices-- rituals, meditations,
devotions-- designed to develop a deep, rich connection with the Goddess Isis.
Now, in Offering to Isis, the author adds an important resource to the
repertoire of modern devotees of Isis-- a catalogue of nearly 75 symbols sacred
to the Goddess (the Heart, the Knot, the Lotus, Papyrus, etc.), and for each,
she does two things-- first, she explains in lucid and knowledgeable prose why
it is an appropriate offering to the Goddess in relation to its ancient place in
Egyptian life and particularly in Egyptian religion (its use, symbolism, etc.),
and second, she presents a beautiful and poetic offering speech or hymn to
accompany the Isiac's own devotional offering of that item to Isis.
This is not the book to pick up to learn the history and methods of ancient Isis
worship (that has already been presented in Forrest's Isis Magic, and by
DeTraci Regula, R.E. Witt, and other priests, priestesses, and scholars). This
is the book that will deepen your understanding and love of Isis, and will make
you wonder why you haven't already been exploring the beauty of that most
Egyptian of religious rites, the ritual of offering.
