Saturday Silliness

Saturday Silliness


Thanks to a friend from work who sent me links to online dating services (NO THANKS!!), I give you:

Isis


Indeed, you are 79% erudite, 83% sensual, 45% martial, and 45% saturnine.

This Egyptian supreme Goddess is certainly the most influential deity on subsequent cultures. She was the ideal figure of womanhood, usually compared with the Greek Goddess Demeter or her Roman version, Ceres.

Isis was one element of a Holy Trinity, the remaining two figures being her brother and husband Osiris and their heroic son Horus. She was the Goddess of Magic for her brilliance, as well as the Goddess of Love because of her tenacious devotion.
She is often shown with wings, curving to caress coffins and sarcophagi of many a king. In certain papyri she is shown with her falcon wing headdress, covering her ears. One of her sacred symbols is the sistrum, a musical instrument that was believed to ward off evil spirits. Isis' sistrum was carved bearing the image of a cat and was representative of the Moon.
Isis was the High Priestess and an omnipotent magician as well as the only being ever to discover the secret name of Ra. She invariably carries the ankh, the symbol for eternal life. Her name is, by the rules of numerology, adding up to the number “2” and she just so happens to be depicted on the tarot card “Key 2 – The High Priestess”.


My test tracked 4 variables How you compared to other people your age and gender:
You scored higher than 0% on erudite
You scored higher than 33% on sensual
You scored higher than 33% on martial
You scored higher than 66% on saturnine

Ooh, I like this quiz--will have to take it tomorrow when I'm not exhausted. And I'd take Isis in a heartbeat!

Oh, by the way, you never know with the online dating. I met Mr.Cheeky that way. ;-)

I'm rather fond of her, too -- although I don't knwo what the other choices were!

Still, I'm not sure anyone would be surprised by the earthy qualities ...
