Isis

The Goddess Isis considered powerful and brave

Travelled Egypt for her husband's soul to save

But she used her magic

For something quite tragic

And resurrected Osiris from his grave

You know what they say, hell hath no fury like a woman scorned. Or perhaps...in mourn?

Once considered the Patron Saint of Nature and Magic, and protector of the dead, Isis went a little...crazy...when her husband was murdered. But who could blame her? Pieces of him were scattered all across Egypt. 

That's when the Goddess who once befriended slaves, sinners and artisans used her magical powers for something a little less noble. She brought her husband back from the dead! Now that's true love.

SURVIVAL TIP: A chance run-in with the Goddess is slim - unless of course you're keen to off her undead husband's head. We'd suggest staying clear of them altogether.
