Aspects of The Trinity: (Part 2 of a series)

Here’s Part 2 of a deep dive into the various names of The Trinity, undertaken while I’ve been studying the Theosophy book, The Masters and The Path in a book club that meets twice a month via Zoom.

In Egyptian religious teaching, Osiris, Isis, and Horus form a sacred family (or a sort of divine Trinity) that embodies kingship, death and rebirth, magic, and rightful order. Together they express a cycle: a just king slain, restored through divine love, and avenged by the heir who re-establishes harmony.

Osiris

Osiris was a primeval king of Egypt who became god of the dead, the underworld, and resurrection, as well as a symbol of fertility and the life-giving cycle of the Nile.
In myth he is murdered and dismembered by his jealous brother Seth, then restored by Isis and thereafter rules as lord and judge of the dead, presiding over the weighing of the heart.

Isis

Isis is Osiris’s wife (and sister) and the great goddess of magic, healing, protection, and ideal motherhood, revered as the model devoted spouse and mother.
She searches for and reassembles Osiris’s body, magically resurrects him long enough to conceive Horus, and later protects and heals the child Horus, exemplifying loyal love and powerful protective magic.

Horus

Horus is the son of Osiris and Isis, a sky god often depicted as a falcon or falcon-headed man, associated with kingship and the living pharaoh.
As the rightful heir, he grows up under Isis’s protection and eventually contends with Seth for the throne of Egypt; his victory restores maat (cosmic and social order) and establishes him as the divine prototype of every legitimate king.

Meaning in Egyptian Teaching

In Egyptian teaching and later mystery cults, their story illustrated the hope of life after death, the power of faithful love and magic, and the sacral authority of the pharaoh as Horus on earth and Osiris after death.

Osiris, Isis, and Horus thus represent a pattern: righteous rule (Osiris), loving restorative power (Isis), and the triumphant heir who restores justice (Horus).

The answer about Isis being a loving restorative power stood out to me, since I watched a show when I was young about Isis (I think it was a cartoon, but not sure now… similar to Wonder Woman), and I used to do that little circular dance she did and repeat her words of, “Oh Mighty Isis.” Ha!

Integrating the Spirals

I’m encouraging those “over 60” to open to lifelong learning (observe and gently question their pre-conceived beliefs, aka ‘Programming’), become more aware of their thoughts and emotions, consistently move their bodies (too many are stuck in their heads and physically unhealthy), become strong, and resilient in spirit, soul, mind, body. And to question EVERYTHING!
