Spell of Isis

Taken from translations of ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics about an important religious myth. The goddess Isis says words of love to her murdered husband Osirus. The myth is that she gathers his body parts which are spread all over Egypt, rebuilds his body, and says magic words that bring Osirus back to life. She makes love with him, becomes pregnant, and gives birth to the god Horus. It is actually based on the cycle of seasons and related to the agricultural cycle.
