The Goddess Isis was also known to the Sumerians as Tiamat, the Serpent of Chaos, the Ancient One, mother of the gods and all abominations of chaos. The Egyptian god Set was originally a female deity and was identified with Isis. Set is a god of the desert, storms, and foreigners in ancient Egyptian religion.
In later myths he is also the god of darkness, and chaos. Hence, the connection with the Sumerian Tiamat, the Serpent of Chaos, the Ancient One, mother of the gods and all abominations and Isis who we also know as Set, the god of darkness, and chaos.
Here is an excerpt from the book, “Psychology of the Unconscious: A Study of the Transformations and Symbolisms,” by Carl Gustav Jung and Beatrice M. Hinkle:
“Isis, the mother of god, played an evil trick on the sun-god with the poisonous snake; also Isis behaved treacherously toward her son Horus in Plutarch’s tradition. That is, Horus vanquished the evil Typhon, who murdered Osiris treacherously (terrible mother= Typhon). Isis, however, set him free again. Horus thereupon rebelled, laid hands on his mother and tore the regal ornaments from her head, whereupon Hermes gave her a cow’s head. Then Horus conquered Typhon a second time. Typhon, in the Greek legend, is a monstrous dragon.”
In the bible scholars often associate the dragon with the devil and we find Isis had morphed into Typhoon which means “terrible mother” also associated with the dragon. The Sumerian Tiamat who is the Serpent of Chaos could be to some the equivalent what they may call the Devil and this would be where we later would get the Egyptian Set connection to Goddess Isis. They all did terrible things and are associated with serpents, darkness and chaos.
Isis, the Dark Goddess was also often depicted carrying a phallic object which identifies the male emblem with its solar origin as symbol of the Sun. Therefor, she carries the sun under he veil for she is the the Great Mother to the Son of the Sun, Horus who she also nurses on her breast for she is the Moon Goddess or the Goddess of darkness, and chaos.
The name Isis means “Throne” or “She of the Throne.” Her headdress is frequently shown with a a vulture resting on top of her head such as in the picture to the above left and in Egypt she was frequently called Man, and her totem there was a vulture. Below is the definition of vulture’s feeding habits from wikipedia
Vultures seldom attack healthy animals, but may kill the wounded or sick. When a carcass has too thick a hide for its beak to open, it waits for a larger scavenger to eat first.[4] Vast numbers have been seen upon battlefields. They gorge themselves when prey is abundant, until their crop bulges, and sit, sleepy or half torpid, to digest their food. They do not carry food to their young in their claws, but disgorge it from the crop. These birds are of great value as scavengers, especially in hot regions. Vulture stomach acid is exceptionally corrosive, allowing them to safely digest putrid carcasses infected with Botulinum toxin, hog cholera, and anthrax bacteria that would be lethal to other scavengers.[5] New World vultures often vomit when threatened or approached. Contrary to some accounts, they don’t ‘projectile vomit’ on their attacker as a deliberate defense, but it does lighten their stomach load to make take-off easier, and the vomited meal residue may distract a predator, allowing the bird to escape.[6] New World vultures also urinate straight down their legs; the uric acid kills bacteria accumulated from walking through carcasses, and also acts as evaporative cooling.
This is why you see the vulture as the headdress of Isis. Let us just say that she has a very tough and important job to do in the ecosystem we know of as our lives. More so than many people will ever know before the vulture may kill the wounded or sick.
Isis became very powerful deity in the late Egyptian dynasties of the Greeks and the Romans because of her magical skills. You will find that Cleopatra had always appeared in public clothed in a robe sacred to Isis and magic her central role as the Goddess of the Darkness and Chaos we know of as our current world.

So many negative comments on this post, I couldn’t resist posting… The feminine and masculine are so misinterpreted by many posting in this thread. Nature vs nurture literally. In one regard, the masculine energy of love is always incremental. It rewards action of the individual as they progress spiritually. The feminine is always love, via passivity, until the spirit stops going forward. At that point, she shakes the individual awake (like Ahriman …Steiner) In our world, there is more of the carnal, ego fed energy and red pillar assimilation. We use brain power instead of heart power. This is evidenced… Read more »
I was tricked by Isis! She gained my trust then betrayed me! She spent a whole year in 2015 trying to weaken me. And I had a really good friend. Please let me know if you want an intelligent conversation. Don’t bother emailing me I never check that!
Well, that was a fun read. Care to cite any of the sources you used for your research? Because I’m having a hard time finding ANY of the connections you’ve made here.
You want me to also show you where the fish are, take them out of the sea and put them on your plate? OK , I see and such is life in this generation.

Also, serpents are not inherently evil either. They are also associated with wisdom.
Yes, but they are worms, and not serpents…
If you had any wisdom whatsoever, you would speak with more respect and not refer to Isis as a ‘she-bitch’. You are coming across as very misogynistic and you are convinced that you alone have the absolute truth, which automatically means you do not. You seem to believe that God is all male and that the feminine Divine does not exist but is in fact evil. Am I wrong? I am trying to be respectful but the consistent message in your writing seems to be that men are good and women are evil. That is neither true nor acceptable.
Yes, you are wrong and I didn’t say I held all truths or I’m the supreme god of wisdom. News alert = This is my blog, my article and my research. If you had any common sense and reason you would clearly see that I DID NOT SAY THAT that Isis was a she bitch. The she bitch quote is from Ptolemy. This is NOT about men are better than women or vice versa. You have been fooled and bamboozled just like everyone else so don’t feel bad. Just FYI, the depiction of the gods and goddesses by gender has… Read more »
