A Blessing from Isis

Behold, I come to you in your time of trouble.  I come with solace and aid.  Put an end to your crying and tears, send your sorrows away.  Through my benevolence will the Sun of Salvation rise up! You will live a blessed life...under my care and guidance.

When you traveled your full length of time and go down unto death, there also I will be beside you.  You will see me shining on amidst the darkness.  Through your religious devotion and constant faith, you may learn that I have the power to prolong your life beyond the limits set to it by fate. Through me, you may be reborn. {from Apuleius' Metamorphosis}

Marble head of Isis of unknown origin.  Late 2nd - 3rd century.  Louvre collection. {And one of my favorite Isis images.}

Roman Outpost ---the personal webpage of Aldus Marius Peregrinus, SVR member, storyteller, roleplay gamer emeritus, and never ending source of info on Latin and Roman Military.

Iohann's Site --- personal webpage of SVR member and curator Valerius Claudius Iohannes.  This guy loves Latin!
