=Magic is in the hands of Isis= ====Isis was a egyptian goddess that was a healer and a magician and she was the wife of Osiris and the mother of Horus. She got her powers by tricking Ra the greatest of the gods who Ra kept his power in his secret name, which he only knew and when he started to grow old he sometimes used to dribble. Isis collected some of his saliva and made it into a snake and she hid the snake where she knew Ra would walk and when Ra trod on it, it bit him and Ra screamed in pain. All the gods gathered around to heal him but none of them could and she said to Ra to tell her his secret name so it would give her enough magic power to heal her. Ra idn't want to do this, but eventually the pain became so bad he had to and Isis healed him, and ever since she had the same magic powers that Ra had.====
