The Universal Song "Isis Star pendant". The Universal Song "Isis Star" pendant is a celebration of the Goddess archetype most often portrayed by the goddess Isis ( also known by the Egyptian name Auset). Since ancient times, the Great Mother Goddess has been represented by this correctly positioned eightfold star. According to the Mystery School teachings, the number eight is significant in that it relates to the eight points of a star tetrahedron which is the geometric shape of the original eight cells basic to all life forms. The eight points symbolize eight characteristics of creation: earth, water, air, fire, and the four qualities of hot, cold, wet, and dry. In scientific terms, the corresponding four states of matter include solid, liquid, gas, and plasma coupled with the four processes of expansion, contraction, dissolution, and crystallization. Pythagoras actually learned about these processes in the Mystery School of ancient Egypt known as the Ogdoad of Hermapolis. Science confirms what the ancients knew about the nature of matter and the process of creation. The Periodic Table of Elements is grouped into eight categories according to the number of electrons on their outermost shell or orbit. Those elements with less than eight electrons seek stability and are intent on combining with other elements to produce an outermost orbit or ring of eight electrons. |
