Isis

I am Isis, Queen of this country. I was instructed by Mercury. No one can destroy the laws which I have established. I am the eldest daughter of Saturn, the most ancient of gods. I am the wife and sister of Osiris the king. I first made known to mortals the use of wheat. I am the mother of Horus the king. In my honor was the city of Bubastis built. Rejoice, O Egypt, rejoice, land that gave me birth.

Isis, the Mother of Mysteries, she is the church. Thus, Isis is the symbol of the Atlantean Mystery School and Freemasonry as an institution.

 "...into Egypt through the Atlantean Mystery School of which Isis is the symbol."- Freemasonry of the Ancient Egyptians, by Manly Hall


"The principal seat of the Mysteries was at Memphis, in the neighborhood of the great Pyramid (within the Pyramid). They were of two kinds, the greater and the less; the former being the mysteries of Osiris and Serapis; the latter those of Isis." - Ancient Mystic Oriental Masonry By R. Swinburne Clymer pg. 130

"The pituitary body is known under the following symbols by the ancient world: The alchemical retort, the mouth of the dragon, the Virgin Mary, the Holy Grail, the lunar crescent, the laver of purification, one of the cherubim of the Arch, the Isis of Egypt, the Radha of India, and the fish's mouth. It may well be called the hope of glory of the physical man. At the opposite end of the third ventricle and a little higher is the pineal gland, which looks not unlike a pine cone (from which it secured its name)."" - Anatomy of Man Manly P. Hall pg. 10

"Osiris was the sun, Isis the moon. Typhon was the symbol of winter, which destroys the fecundating and fertilizing powers of the sun, thus, as it were, depriving
him of life.- Ancient Mystic Oriental Masonry By R. Swinburne Clymer pg. 134

"the perpendicular (triangle), Isis, or the female principle; ." - Mackey's Encyclopedia of Freemasonry

"...Isis represented its female, passive or prolific powers."– The origin of Freemasonry and Knights templar by Bennett, John Richardson, (1907) pg. 9

The dual principle (The Hermetic Marriage) of "male" and "female" [in Masonic teachings] is represented by the "square and compass." The "compass" represents OSIRIS,  the male god of the Egyptians, while the "square" is the symbol representing ISIS, the female goddess of Egypt - both are sexual symbols. (Taken from: Ragon's Cours. Philosophique page 102.)

"The exact science of human regeneration is the Lost Key of Masonry, for when the Spirit Fire is lifted up through the thirty-three degrees, or segments of the spinal column, and enters into the domed chamber of the human skull, it finally passes into the pituitary body (Isis), where it invokes Ra (the pineal gland) and demands the Sacred Name. Operative Masonry, in the fullest meaning of that term, signifies the process by which the Eye of Horus is opened. " - The Secret Teachings of All Ages By Manly P. Hall pg. 252

In the legend of the Osirian cycle, Osiris was chopped into fourteen pieces. Isis came to put him back together again and bring him to life. She could find all the pieces save one, the phallus, or the generative force.

As Isis is the widow, seeking to restore her lord Osiris, and to avenge his cruel murder, it follows that all Master Masons or Master builders, are widow’s sons. They are the offspring of the institution widowed by the loss of the living Word, and theirs is the eternal quest—they discover by becoming.

"she (Isis) performed certain magical rites by which the body of Osiris was temporarily animated and by this animation she received from Osiris a son who was called the younger Horus, the child who was conceived of the dead."- Freemasonry of the Ancient Egyptians, by Manly Hall

"Isis is the Virgin of the World, who bears the divine child without the loss of her virginity, She is the esoteric tradition which gives birth to the adepts by a mystery "in the spirit." She is the Sophia of the Gnosis, the "blessed demoiselle" of the Troubadours and the later mystics. In Christian and neo-Christian symbolism, Sophia appears again as the "Bride of the Lamb."– Orders of the Quest, The Holy Grail (Adept Series) by Manly P. Hall pg 15

"Isis also received the names of Islene, Ceres, Rhea, Venus, Vesta, Cybele, Niobe, Melissa--Nehalennia in the North; Isi with the Indians; Puzza among the Chinese; and Ceridwen among the ancient Britons." -THE THE VEIL OF ISIS; OR, MYSTERIES OF THE DRUIDS BY W. WINWOOD READE. Pg 186
