Anunnaki
Queen Ninhursag
/ Isis
(Birth Goddess)
Anunnaki Ninhursag (Birth
Goddess) Seated
Enki... in the center.
Anatolia .... was the "Land of the
Amazons and Lesbos,"
the legendary "Birth Goddesses"
who
revolted against the Emperor and Empress,
causing
the "Eva" to have to be created
by Chief Medical
Officer and Geneticist, the Anunnaki Queen Goddess
Ninkhursag
/ And Later... when she arrived
in Egypt.... She was known as "Isis".
She is
represented as Isis or Ninhursag-Ki,
who is the universe,
the creator and regenerator... of all
life; she is time and
space.
She was the original Madonna,
with the child
suckling at her
breast.
Later in
Egypt... as Isis
(Isis / Ninhursag-Ki),
daughter of Seb (Anu) and Nut (Ana), sister
and wife of (Osiris / Enki), sister of
Set, and twin sister of Nephthys, mother of
Horus.... and was believed to be the
most powerful magician in the universe.
(due to the fact... that she had
learned the Secret Name of Ra... from
the god himself).
Nephthys
Twin Sister
of Isis / Ninhursag - Ki
Nephthys
Nephthys... twin sister of
Isis, is one of the Egyptian goddesses... who seems to have been
ignored or pushed into the background. She didn't become a major cult
figure, like her sister
Isis, but one must remember that Nephthys, too, was a sibling of
the most famous gods of ancient Egypt - Isis and Osiris. She was also the sister-wife of the god Set, the god of storms and the
desert and aunt to the god Horus.
Her Egyptian name Nebt-het (Neb-hut, Neb-hwt,
Nebt-hut,
Nebthet) means "Mistress of the House"
but by the word "house"
we must understand... that portion of
the sky - which was
supposed to form the abode of
the Sun-god Horus; in fact
"het" in the name of Nebt-het is
used in exactly the same
sense as "het" in the name "Het-Hert,"
or Hathor, i.e., the
"House of Horus."
Nephthys and
Pharoah
Underworld
Nephthys... was
depicted as a woman with the
hieroglyph
of her name (a basket and a
house on top of each other) on
her head, though she was also
sometimes given wings or
the form of a bird , making her
a solar deity, as well as a
deity of the dead. In the
later period, she became the mother
of Anubis... (the god of the dead)
through Osiris.
Yet, originally, where
Isis was visible, birth, growth, development
and vigor, Nephthys was invisible, death, decay, diminution and
immobility. She was the darkness to Isis' light. Isis was the day,
her
twin sister the night.
The goddesses were personified by two priestesses... who were virgins and who
were ceremonially pure; the hair of their limbs
was to be shaved off, they were to wear
ram's wool garlands...
upon their heads, and to hold tambourines
in their hands; on the arm of one of them was to be a fillet inscribed "To Isis," and
on the arm of the other was to
be a fillet inscribed "To Nephthys."
On five days during the month of December... these women took their places in the temple of Abtu (Abydos) and, assisted by the Kher Heb, or precentor,
they sang a series of groups of
verses to the god.
|
'Songs
of Isis and Nephthys',
sung to Osiris... by the two priestesses:
Hail, thou lord of the underworld,
thou Bull... of those who are therein, thou Image of Ra-Harmachis, thou Babe of beautiful appearance, come thou...
to us in peace. Thou didst repel thy disasters, thou didst drive away evil hap; Lord, come to us...
in peace.
O Un-nefer, lord of food, thou chief, thou who art of terrible majesty, thou God, president of the gods, when thou... dost inundate the land [all] things... are engendered. Thou art gentler... than the gods.
The emanation of thy body... make the
dead and the living... to live, O thou lord of food, thou prince... of green
herbs, thou mighty lord, thou staff of life, thou giver of offerings... to
the gods, and of sepulchral meals... to the blessed dead. Thy souls flieth
after Ra, thou shinest at dawn, thou settest at twilight, thou riseth
every day; thou shalt rise... on the left hand... of Atmu... for ever and ever.
Thou art the glorious one,
the vicar of Ra; the company of the gods... cometh to thee... invoking thy face, the
flame whereof... reacheth... unto thine enemies. We rejoice... when thou gatherest
together thy bones, and when thou hast made whole... thy body daily.
Anubis... cometh to thee, and the two
sisters (i.e., Isis and Nephthys), come to thee. They have obtained... beautiful things for thee, and they gather together... thy limbs for thee, and they seek to put together... the mutilated members... of thy body. Wipe thou the impurities... which are on them... upon our hair and come thou... to us... having no recollection... of that which hath caused thee
sorrow.
Come thou...
in thy attribute of "Prince of the Earth," lay aside thy
trepidation... and be at peace with us, O Lord. Thou shalt be proclaimed... heir of the world, and the One god, and the fulfiller of the designs of the gods. All the gods... invoke thee, come therefore... to thy temple and be not afraid. O Ra (i.e., Osiris), thou art beloved... of Isis and Nephthys; rest thou... in thy habitation... forever.

One of the reasons, during the later period of Egyptian history,
given as to why Set and Osiris hate each other.... was because
of Nephthys, Set's sister-wife. She was barren (she represented
the desert, as did Set), and she hit on the plan of disguising
herself as Isis and seducing Osiris.
Getting Osiris drunk, Nephthys took Osiris to her bed, and
the two had drunken sex together.
Osiris dropped his garland
of melilot flowers in the act of passion. Set found the
adulterous goddess and the flowers, and knowing who the flowers belonged
to, he began to plan Osiris' death.
The child of this union was thought...
to be Anubis, god of mummification.
Now as the overflowings... of the Nile are sometimes very great, and extend to the boundaries of the land, this gave rise to the story of the secret
intercourse between Osiris and Nephthys,
as the natural consequence of so great an inundation
would be
the springing up of plants in those parts of the country which were formerly barren.
Among her titles, Nephthys was known as the Lady of the Body
(of the Gods), the Dweller within Senu, Lady of Heaven, Mistress of the Gods, the Great Goddess and Lady of Life. Her
major centers of worship were Senu, Hebet, (Behbit), Per-mert, Re-nefert, Het-sekhem, Het-Khas, Ta-kehset, and Diospolites. Her principal
sanctuary
was at Iunu (On, Heliopolis).
She was the darkness...
to Isis' light, the bareness to contrast her sister's fertility. Friend to the dead, their protector, she was a beneficial deity
who offered both guidance and comfort.
Although linked with death and decay, she was also a bringer of life into the world, and rebirth into the
land of the dead. Leaving her husband Set, she became a follower of Osiris
and a supporter of her sister.
In Egyptian art, the twin sisters
were almost always shown together. Great of magic, Nephthys was seen as a good goddess who would give them rebirth in the land of the dead, just as
she had helped Osiris to be reborn.
Isis
/ Ninhusag
Isis... was the
Egyptian goddess of motherhood, fertility,
marital
devotion, healing the sick, and the
working of magical spells and charms.
Isis is one of the earliest and
most important goddesses...
in ancient Egypt, and she was
regarded as the feminine
counterpart to Osiris.
No other Egyptian
deity has stood the test of
time as well as
Isis. Her cult was not
extinguished with the other Egyptian
gods, but was embraced by the Greeks
and Romans, and her worship
has even lasted into the present
day.
Isis... was a
great enchantress, the goddess of magic.
Together
with Thoth / (Who was also Enki, or Enki's
son), she taught mankind the secrets
of medicine. She was the embalmer
and guardian of Osiris. She is
often rendered on the foot of
coffins with long wings spread to
protect the deceased. She was
originally the personification of the
throne (her name is written with
the hieroglyph for throne), and as
such, she was an important source
of the Pharaoh's power.
Isis = Ninhursag,
half-sister to Enki and Enlil,
(Married to Enki - who was Osiris
and later "Thoth"... in Egypt), and the
one
who was the mother of all life,
Lady of the Mountain.
(Enki's
Brother... Enlil) was later
the Yahweh / Jehovah... of the Bible.
In Egyptian
hieroglyphs, one of the symbols for
the goddess
Ninhursag / Isis... is a star
of her heavenly counterpart
it is
the
constellation... Canis Major, and the star that represents her...
is the star Sirius... (the brightest star in the northern hemisphere).
This is a very important star... to the Egyptians,
because
on
the Summer Solstice (Wepet : Egyptian "New Year's Day",
June 21) - Sirius rises simultaneously at dawn with the
Sun (heliacal rising) and the
Nile River overflows, providing
much needed water - enriching the soil for
crops for the
ancient Egyptians. (this period actually varies from June 21
- July 20).
