Osiris: Regeneration/Transmutation/Beauty
Although Osiris has long been associated with death and called the Lord of the Underworld, truthfully it is more appropriate to acknowledge him as the archetypal regenerative principle that transmutes outworn, deteriorating form into its renewed, shining manifestation of beauty. Osiris invites us to let go and rest deeply upon his earthy green chest as he wraps his supportive arms around our bodies and turns us into that which we are in the process of becoming.
Osiris was said to have been a beloved and benign ruler of Egypt, whose reign featured harmony and great expansion. He brought civilization and prosperity to the people and taught them agriculture and trade. According to the myth, his brother Set became jealous, possibly because of Osiriss prosperity and popularity, and possibly because Osiris fathered Anubis with Sets wife, Nephthys. Set murdered Osiris, after which Isis set outwith the help of Thoth, Nephthys, and Anubisto find her dead husband and restore him to life. His ensuing resurrection made Osiris the god of regeneration and growth.
