Isis
The goddess Isis, who is very well known throughout Egypt, is always described as the patroness, guardian and caretaker of all beings who are suffering or in great distress. For this reason, she was considered a motherly goddess, a goddess of recovery, protection and magic. According to the famous Osiris myth, Isis was also worshipped as a deity of the dead and a supporter in the afterlife. The Egyptians were very worried that they would lose their human abilities, such as seeing, speaking, hearing and thinking, when they entered the Otherworld. Isis was supposed to ward off all demons that were responsible for the loss of human abilities.
