Isis and beauty

When you hear Her name, Isis, you probably think "Queen", and you should. "Proud" and "independent" and "aloof" probably also come to mind, along with a quiet nod to Her temper.

But most people overlook Isis' passion, and that's at the heart of who She is. When She loves, nothing, not time, or other gods or even death can get between Her and Her beloved. She is the personification of determination against all odds, and while She is indeed proud and aloof and grimly independent, She is also loyal and to be respected and worshipped and yes, loved.

The faeries remind us to find beauty everywhere. When you look at Isis, beauty is obvious and in fact can be a bit overwhelming. But beauty can be found in the dust of snow on a leaf, the angle of a shadow in sunlight, the deep clear blue of a cloudless summer sky. In admiring the great beauty around you, do not forget to be thankful for the small gems that can make any day a treasure.
