Isis-Hathor. One of the most important Egyptian divinities, whose name in Egyptian is Het-Hathor, she was the feminine principle of the cosmos, the nourishing cow who gave birth to the world and all that it contains, including the sun. She was the goddess of the living, whom she nourished with her fertile udders, and of the dead, to whom she offered bread and water when they left the world.

She was called the goddess “of a thousand names”. Goddess of Love and music and above all Mother. She was represented with the appearance of a cow, between her horns she carried a solar disc, Isis took up these characteristics of Hathor and her symbols, such as the cow’s horns.  As the goddess of music and joy, her emblem was the sistrum.
