Chapter 9
Isis
The Female Messiah and the Destroyer
    Surrounded by light, Isis walks across the earth bringing change, transformation and knowledge wherever she goes. She illuminates all she comes into contact with. She alone holds the words of life and death, for she alone knows the secret name of God. Those in her favor are blessed with the mysteries of eternal life, and those who wish to stay as they are fear her transforming presence. They will fight change with their last breath and will wish harm upon her, calling her unholy. Unconcerned with those of closed minds, she moves on with her mission to help her children find salvation and freedom. She is beauty, love, compassion and transformation.
    The Female Messiah
    The Messiah is the archetype of androgyny. Both the male and female version of this archetype are identical except for the fact that the male preaches and shows the way to love and enlightenment while the female is the way to love and enlightenment. This is probably why we hear so much more about male saints and yogis than female saints and yoginis.
    The Female Messiah archetype can also contain any of the other archetypes, which will help her to achieve her goals in this lifetime. For example, Joan of Arc was a savior of her people who embodied the Artemis/Amazon archetype in battle.
    The Female Messiah may not know of her connection to the Divine but just be “driven” to accomplish something important. In this respect she isn't working on a spiritual goal; it seems her whole life is for one purpose and that purpose affects the lives of thousands of people.

    In Arthurian legend, the Lady of the Lake, a Female Messiah, presents Arthur with the famed sword Excalibur.
    The Female Messiah has the ability to see the whole picture when it comes to any problem. She never jumps to conclusions or gets involved in the gossip or drama of everyday life. She's a detached observer who sees all sides and understands all views.
    She respects all religions and belief systems. She gives freely of herself because she knows what she puts out comes back to her threefold.
    The Female Messiah isn't as easily accepted by the masses as a spiritual authority figure because of her gender. If she remains somewhat quiet and allows others to speak of her for a time, she'll later have the opportunity to speak out about her views. It's OK for her to have a message that's about the feminine traits of love and compassion, but her message may be much harsher than that, as was Joan of Arc's. This can cause trouble for her unless women are viewed as equals. She can be thought of as hysterical or may be pushed aside and called “just a housewife” to demean her and her accomplishments.
    She may not realize her Divine connections but be born with a strong pull toward a goal and a willingness to sacrifice herself for it. Think of what the women who fought for the right to vote sacrificed, or the chance Rosa Parks took when she refused to give up her seat.
    What Does the Female Messiah Care About?
    The Female Messiah understands the plight of women and the feminine in a patriarchal society, and she cares about elevating the female status.
    She cares about herself as well as others. Every living thing is a manifestation of the Divine to her.
    She cares about others recognizing their own divine nature. She wants everyone to grow spiritually.
    She pays special attention to the children and animals because they can't help themselves.
    She values healing the soul above healing the body.
