Lapis Lazuli Isis 2
Absolutely stunningly gorgeous Lapis Lazuli carving of the goddess Isis.
You will receive the beautiful piece in the photograph.
The Goddess Isis was the daughter of Geb and Nut - Earth and Sky - and the sister of Nepthys, Set and Osiris.
She is mostly known for her relationship with Osiris, her husband and brother. Osiris was killed and dismembered by Set and Isis searched for all the pieces to reassemble the body.
She is celebrated as a goddess of love and devotion but also of hope and determination. Through the latter she can be seen to resonate with the struggles and challenges of human life. She is also linked with regeneration, magic and wisdom, due to her ability to outwit Set and heal Osiris.
She later became known as the mother of Horus and her statue shows her nursing Horus. In this role, she is a goddess of motherhood and protection. He outstretched wings symbolise her role as protector.
Through her role and wife of Osiris she is 'Lady of the Sky'. Through her role as mother of Horus, who is concerned with kingship and protection of the ruler, Isis became protector of the king/ruler and the kingdom.
Lapis Lazuli is not actually a crystal, but a rock comprised of the minerals lazurite (deep, rich blue) calcite (white) and pyrite (gold flecks).
It is renowned as a ‘spiritual stone’, with a long association with wisdom and truth, and is considered by many to be useful for psychic protection.
Lapis has a strong affinity with the brow chakra/third eye. It is calming to the everyday mind and can help to bring a sense of clear perspective. To me, the main gift and power of Lapis Lazuli is to take us deep within to access our own wisdom and truth. In my experience, it is one of the main stones to access past life memories. When the time is right, this can happen very quickly.
