Isis was at the centre of a cult that spread far beyond Egypt's boundaries. The #Romans were aware of the #cult's existence, but it was frowned upon by many of the ruling class. The emperor #Augustus (#Octavian) decreed that worship of Isis was forbidden as part of his attempt to return #Rome to Roman gods. For some Roman worshipers, Isis was absorbed into the cult of #Cybele, which held bloody rites in honor of their mother goddess.
The cult of Isis moved as far afield as Ancient #Greece, and was known as a #mystery tradition among the #Hellenes until it was banned by #Christianity around the sixth century c.e.
She assimilated with Hathor, another goddess of #fertility, and is often depicted nursing her son Horus. There is a wide belief that this image served as inspiration for the classic Christian portrait of the #Madonna and Child.
A number of contemporary #Pagan traditions have adopted Isis as their patron Goddess and she is often found at the heart of Dianic #Wiccan groups and other female-centered covens. Although modern Wiccan worship does not follow the same structure as the ancient Egyptian ceremonies that were once used to honor Isis, today's Isiac covens incorporate Egyptian lore and mythology into a Wiccan framework, bringing the knowledge and worship of Isis into a contemporary setting.
