ISIS

ISIS

Most of the names of gods and goddesses and figures in early myths really meant "male" or "female" in their original languages such as the great German hero, Herrmann (Mister Man).

My very favorite for its purity is ISIS. This is pure binary. There are straight marks and curved marks. They alternate. It is like the number 2. It just means "the other" reiterated. Wouldn't you say?

That is fascinating. I love the Isis statue. It reminds me of the Pieta, in reverse proportion. I hope you will put some more on there.
