She ...I would say that she is what she says she is. She is the mother of all things. She is the spiritual personification of Nature which is indicated by the symbolism earlier on in Lucius’s vision of the goddess when she rises out of the sea, garlanded with flowers and carrying corn, and decked with the light of the moon. Note that she rises out of the sea which equates her with the waters over which the Spirit of God hovers in the book of Genesis. As such she fits right into the above scheme of things as the feminine aspect of divinity. Note also that Isis (like the Virgin Mary in Catholicism) is Queen of Heaven but God the Creator transcends all creation and that includes time, space and heaven.William Wildbloodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13231219533755925897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1513199068907090344.post-71290306017651673512013-11-15T15:56:23.862+00:002013-11-15T15:56:23.862+00:00I have a question.

In The Golden Ass, written in the 2nd century AD by Apuleius, the Goddess Isis appears in a vision and speaks these words. <br />“I am she that is the natural mother of all things, mistress and governess of all the elements, the initial progeny of worlds, chief of powers divine, Queen of Heaven, the principal of the Gods celestial, the light of the goddesses: at my will the planets of the air, the wholesome winds of the Seas, and the silences of hell be disposed; my name, my divinity is adored throughout all the world in divers manners, in variable customs and in many names”<br />Given all that how does the Goddess fit into your scheme of things? What does she represent?<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
