“The blood of Isis, the virtue of the Isis, the magic power of Isis, the magic power of the Eye, are protecting this the Great one; they prevent any wrong being done to him.”

Thus reads a portion of the 156th chapter of the Egyptian Book of the Dead, which was engraved, often with other invocations, on the Buckle of Isis amulets.

This is known as an amulet and is normally presented as a pendent worn. The knot of Isis is normally found in pairs. There is no record of how or where this knot came from. The knot is known as a symbol of magic and Egyptian. There is many examples of where this knot was used in the book called: “Coming Forth By Day” this provides a number of possibilities where the knot can be used for magical purposes.

The symbol is always associated with the “book of the dead.” Prior to the buckle being attached to the mummy, it was placed in holy water containing ankham flowers. There was a meaning of Ch. In that the divine life from the plane presents itself in the emotion of others, which must be protected. Through water and flowers the soul will be free, and enter higher vibrations and worlds.
