From August 9-15, The Mount Shasta Goddess Temple will engage in a 7-day class and pathworking to call upon Isis as Mistress of Magic, as Alchemist, to help us transform energies that are stuck, locked, or trapped in our lives from lead into gold.
Oh wealth-giver, Queen of the gods,
Hermouthis, Lady,
All-powerful Good Fortune,
Greatly renowned Isis, Deo,
Highest discoverer of all life,
Manifold miracles were your care that you might bring livelihood to Mankind and morality to all;
And you taught customs that justice might in some measure prevail;
You gave skills that life might be comfortable,
And you discovered the blossoms that produce edible vegetation.
Because of you heaven and the whole earth have their being;
And the gusts of the winds and the sun with its sweet light.
By your power the channels of Nile are filled, every one,
At the harvest season and its most turbulent water is poured on the whole Land, that produce may be unfailing.
-From the Hymn to Isis by Isidorus, ca. 96 BCE
August 9-15, 2024
Classes will take place online
Daily at 6pm Pacific, 9pm Eastern
Both live and recorded. Recordings will be loaded right away so that participants who cannot attend live can watch the videos when they are available.
Every day for 7 days during our devotional week we will:
study the iconic stories of Isis, including her parentage, her marriage to Osiris, her role as mother to Horus, her power of heka, and her role as Goddess of 10,000 Names;
learn about the 7 essential alchemical processes for the transformation of lead into gold: Calcination, Dissolution, Separation, Conjunction, Fermentation, Distillation, and Coagulation;
take deep dives with meditations and personal rituals to connect with Isis and her power to create change;
build and expand a working shrine for Isis over the course of the week, compose prayers to her, and create talismans in her honor;
work honestly with open hearts on the sensitive areas in our lives where we have been stuck, either knowingly or unknowingly, and welcome these aspects of our lives into the process of death and rebirth;
study historic Temples and shrines of Isis, the march of her worship across the ancient world, and learn about how Isis gradually went from being a throne protector of the Pharaoh to one of the most popular Goddesses of all time.
Praise to you, Isis, the Great One,
The mother of Horus, Lady of Heaven,
Mistress and Queen of the gods.
-From a hymn in hieroglyphs on the rear wall of the temple of Isis from Philae – ca 300 BCE
Late August is after the Dog Star Sopdet/Sirius has risen, after the traditional mid-August date of the Graeco-Roman lychnapsia, or lamp-lighting birthday festival in honor of Isis, and the Wafa El-Nil festival, where a clay votive of the goddess would be submerged in the Nile. This is a season of Isian mysteries, the time when she rises, is purified, spreads her wings, and potentiates her power. We can honor her mythic journey, study the lessons in her stories, connect with her alchemical wisdom, and create positive change for ourselves and our lives. If this class calls to you, please register and join us, live or on replay, for a week of magic, devotion, and transformation.
