Many Egyptian gods and goddesses started in one place, and all through their history had their own city where they were worshipped, and many big cities and towns are known as the hometowns of their god or goddess. Sometimes Isis is called the egg of the goose because Geb is the father of Isis and goose represents him. She also had a throne on her head to symbolize she was a queen. Isis is shown with a sun disk on her head. The powers were only strong enough to bring Osiris back for a single night. An example of her powers is when Isis brought Osiris back to life for one night. Isis had great powers such as: healing, protection, and magic.

1500 BC) her worship no longer had any particular identifiable center, and she became more or less universally worshiped, as her husband was. She was adopted into the family of Ra early in Egyptian history by the priests of Heliopolis. Her cult seems to have originally centered, like her husband's, at Abydos near the Delta in the North (Lower Egypt). 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. 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. Isis was the sister and wife of Osiris, sister of Set, and twin sister of Nephthys.

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. Her most important functions, however, were those of motherhood, marital devotion, healing the sick, and the working of magical spells and charms. During the course of Egyptian history, Isis assumed the attributes and functions of virtually every other important goddess in the land. Isis was perhaps the most important goddess of all Egyptian mythology. This is because the last 't' in her name was a feminine (female) suffix which is known to have been dropped in speech in the last stages of the Egyptian language. To make it easier to say, Egyptologists choose to say the word as 'ee-set'. Later, the name in Coptic dialects was 'Ēse' or 'Ēsi'. Based on recent studies, the reconstructed pronunciation of her name is * ʔŪsat (ooh-saht). However, the true Egyptian pronunciation is not known because their writing system left out vowels. The Egyptian name was recorded as ỉs.t or ȝs.t. The English pronunciation used, /ˈaɪ.sɪs/), comes from the pronunciation of the Greek name, Ίσις, which changed the Egyptian name by adding a final '-s' because of the grammatical requirements of Greek noun endings.
