In January 2013, we began exploring the `Thames-Isis’ energies in a series of magical rituals/ Ceremonies in London. The Isium Navigatum, Birthday of Isis, Submerging Sekhmet are complete and we head towards the last and most important one of all.. Quests of Isis !
I feel that in many ways this is the Egyptian equivalent of Samhain.. and quite obviously the mythological origin of the mummification rituals.. It is where Isis `mourns, longs for …searches and finds’ her dead husband Osiris (who was murdered by his evil brother Set).
Isis-Magic is at it’s most potent, as she combines the 13 pieces of the dead body parts of Osiris, and adding an artificial Phalus, she brings him to completion- where upon he descends to the Underworld to rule there as King.
All are welcome to this ceremony…being held on the banks of river Thames…in Richmond area (SW London)..on the even of the taurean Full moon in November.

Myth of Osiris & Quest of Isis
When Osiris came to power on the Throne of Egypt, he found the people to be savage and brutish, fighting and killing one another.
While Isis, wife of Osiris, discovered the grain of wheat and barley, Osiris taught the people how to plant the seeds after the Nile had risen and sunk again, leaving fresh fertile soil. Osiris taught the people how to tend the crops and water them; how to cut the corn, how to thrash the grain, dry it, grind it to make flour and make bread. H showed them the way to plant vine and make wine out of grapes, as they had already known how to brew beer our of barley.
Osiris went on to teach the people law and to live peacefully and happily, enjoying music and poetry. Thus Egypt was filled with peace and plenty. And Osiris set off to bring the same blessings to other nations. His wife Isis ruled Egypt while he was away.
But Seth, their brother, envied Osiris and hated Isis. He planned to kill his brother and rule in his place. And when Osiris returned from his travels Seth held a large festive celebrations, and tricked Osiris into entering a beautifully crafted Chest decorated with cedar, ebony and ivory. Seth sealed the chest with molten lead and threw it in the river Nile, and Osiris the man died within it.
The chest was carried out to the Sea, and came to the shore of Phoenicia near the city of Byblos. Here it lodged into a tamarisk tree that grew around it completely. King Malcander heard of the beautiful tree, and made orders to cut it down and fashion a great pillar for his palace. No one knew that it held the body of Osiris.
Later, Isis searched and found the Pillar, and after time in the palace looking after the King’s children, procured the Pillar and took it on a barge back to Egypt. She had left it in the marshes, in order to go and check on her young son Horus, when Seth found the pillar and the Chest within it.. tore the body of Osiris into 14 pieces, and scattered them all over the banks of the Nil, hoping those pieces will be eaten by various crocodiles and other animals.
On her return, Isis discovered what had happened, and with the help of her sister Nephthys and Anubis, she found all but one piece of Osiris. His penis was missing. Isis rejoined the pieces of Osiris and also made a Penis – with the use of magic, and completed Osiris. She caused the body to be embalmed and hid it in a place only she knew. Now with the body whole, and rites completed, the spirit of Osiris passed into Amenti to rule over the dead. He stays there until the last great battle between his Son Horus and Seth, and it is said he will return to Earth once Seth has been defeated once and for all.
