Even tho western culture doesnt have a typical female deity, the Virgin Mary is revered as such by most Catholics. <br /> I think new mythos would be interesting, or a very original spin on an old one.PK HREZOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11650153097981426833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5262336202740698523.post-87059165162392232132012-11-24T21:11:50.960-05:002012-11-24T21:11:50.960-05:00I'm partial to Anubis (bad, feminist, bad!), b...I'm partial to Anubis (bad, feminist, bad!), but I'm actually fascinated by all the ancient gods and goddesses. I was actually working on a project focusing on that stuff when all the Percy Jackson stuff hit really big, and I knew I'd be way too late for the bandwagon, so I put it on the back-burner for now.

So, I guess Isis is kind of like your McKayla Maroney. Does Isis make this funny scowling type face when she is unimpressed with something? Or does she have her own meme? Has she met President Obama? Otherwise, I really don't have any idea why.Jimmy Fungushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11953474867719568319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5262336202740698523.post-18163693576723923312012-11-22T13:45:58.218-05:002012-11-22T13:45:58.218-05:00I'm very ashamed to admit that I only know abo...I'm very ashamed to admit that I only know about Egyptian gods because of Rick Riordan. To me, reading about them was exactly the same as reading about lesser known Egyptian superstitions. I find them fascinating, and since then I've researched more about them, so I'm always open to the lesser known option!rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09472552752365062115noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5262336202740698523.post-78708212725611433172012-11-21T21:08:20.644-05:002012-11-21T21:08:20.644-05:00That's funny.

With slight embarrassment, I admit to have heard of Isis but not the others. I also admit to having watched Shazam and Isis as a kid. It was a fun show. Shazam and Horus, Anubis or Ra just wouldn't sound as catchy. So there's your answer: ignorance and TV (which are pretty much one and the same).<br /><br />Take care, Lexa.<br />xoRobynRawknrobyn.blogspot.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15997241410192066577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5262336202740698523.post-89514416091693716472012-11-21T19:43:59.071-05:002012-11-21T19:43:59.071-05:00I think it is fascinating that Isis brings so much...I think it is fascinating that Isis brings so much traffic to the blog.

Since my early teen years, I discovered Egyptian culture while reading about occultism and paranormal stuff, I've been fascinated by the richness of Egyptian believe system. Isis is not my favorite, though, my favorites are Horus and Sekhmet. The first because, well, because he's cool, and Sekhmet because what isn't to like about a blood-thisty cat-godess? Anyway, I love to read about my faves but I'm even more intrigued about creative stories where little-known gods/goddesses/demons are introduced to me in a cool, interesting way.<br /><br />Great post!
