Upon the Birth of the New gods all the land stopped in awe. The Animals stopped what they where doing and looked on at these new beings born of the stars. The barbarians that ruled the land stood bewildered. Even the dead began to stir in their slumber. Animals became pregnant, tree's became heavy with fruit water filled the river. Barley sprang up and flowers bloomed. The land with the gods was born anew.
The hidden gods of fate decreed that Osiris first born would receive the black fertile land on either side of the river. Here crops flourished and people began to gather and build. To Set was given all the red land as far as the eye could see. Wild animals lived in these dry lands with sparse vegetation. Here nomads banded together bathing in war and hunt.
Isis took the hand of Osiris and called him husband. Together they build a house of jewels and gold with alabaster walls, and they said Egypt's children will dwell in such a house for eternity. Together they took what the land gave and used it. Isis taught them weave baskets, pluck cotton, spin and weave cloth. She showed them how do make the oils and the kohl to define her beautiful eyes. Osiris showed them to harness the cow and plow the land. Together to heavenly pair showed the people to sing and dance the songs of their mother ( Nut ). Isis taught them the names of the stars ( the hidden souls of the gods and goddesses ). She gave them chants, songs, and praises. Isis also taught them the measure of the moon from new moon to full moon, about waxing and waning. She then gave them the secrets of the herbs and knowledge of their own bodies.
Set grew angry, but this was early in history and Set was but a flea to Osiris. So he bided his time waiting for his moment. He vowed to take the thrown from His brother.
Many times Osiris left to travel the land teaching his secrets. Always Isis remained behind to keep a protective eye over village.
The village grew strong with brick houses and boats of papyrus. Isis and Osiris traveled back and forth along the nile teaching the people the holy, peaceful ways with each other and the divine. They gave them the gifts of Ma'at (Law & Truth)
They called Osiris
King, and Isis Queen.
The people admired the fine garments
of Isis so delicate, so fine. Isis admired their healthy children
laid in her arms at the moment of birth. She breathed upon them and
read their blessings and fate. But she longed for a child of her
own.
