During the course of Egyptian history, Isis assumed the attributes and functions of virtually every other important goddess in the land. Her most important functions, however, were those of motherhood, marital devotion, healing the sick, and the working of magical spells and charms. She was believed to be the most powerful magician in the universe, because she had learned the Secret Name of Ra from the god himself. Isis was the sister and wife of Osiris, sister of Set, and twin sister of Nephthys. She was the mother of Horus the Child (Harpocrates), and was the protective goddess of Horus's son Amset, protector of the liver of the deceased. </p><p>Isis was responsible for protecting Horus from Set during his infancy; for helping Osiris to return to life; and for assisting her husband to rule in the land of the Dead. </p><p>Her cult seems to have originally centred, like her husband's, at Abydos near the Delta in the North (<a href="/wiki/Lower_Egypt" title="Lower Egypt">Lower Egypt</a>). She was adopted into the family of Ra early in Egyptian history by the priests of Heliopolis. From the <a href="/wiki/New_Kingdom" class="mw-redirect" title="New Kingdom">New Kingdom</a> onwards (c. 1500 BC) her worship no longer had any particular identifiable centre, and she became more or less universally worshipped, as her husband was. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Powers">Powers</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Isis&veaction=edit&section=3" title="Change section: Powers" class="mw-editsection-visualeditor"><span>change</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-divider"> | </span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Isis&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section's source code: Powers"><span>change source</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Isis had great powers such as: healing, protection, and magic.
