Well seen as though I asked for this topic to be put on the forum I guess I had better post.
I will be posting things on here that I have learnt along my path that I wish to share with others and if people have questions about the Egyptian wicca religion please post them here and I or may be someone better versed in the religion may be able to help you with an answer.
I told y'all from the get-go...Ask and ye shall receive! (Just don't ask for money! )

Well i have prayed unto Isis/osiris sorry about the spelling .Are they apart of egyptian wicca and if they are i would like to know more about them ,for i love the study of the Godhead....
If I'm not mistaken...and Anya, you'll have to correct me if I'm wrong, because I'm just going on memory here...Isis and Osirus are the mother and father god and goddess of Egyptian tradition. Like I said, I could be wrong...I don't know too terribly much about Egyptian paths.

The sun god Ra was thought to be the father of of all Egyptian gods.
Throughout the height of Egyptian civilization, Osiris was the primary deity. In power, he was second only his father, Ra, and was the leader of the gods on earth. He was the husband of Isis and the father of Horus (and a number of other gods in some stories). Osiris resided in the underworld as the lord of the dead, as after being killed by Set, even though he was a god, he could no longer dwell in the land of the living.
After Osiris was killed, Isis resurrected him with the Ritual of Life, which was later given to the Egyptians so that they could give eternal life to all their dead. The spells and rituals cast by Isis, plus many others given to the people by the gods over the centuries, were collected into The Book of Going Forth by Day, colloquially known as The Book of the Dead.
In the underworld, Osiris sits on a great throne, where he is praised by the souls of the just. All those who pass the tests of the underworld become worthy to enter The Blessed Land, that part of the underworld that is like the land of the living, but without sorrow or pain. In some texts, in addition to the Judging of the Heart, Osiris passes final judgment over the dead, acting in this capacity as an Egyptian version of Radamanthus.
There is an interesting parallel between Osiris, a fertility/agriculture god, and the Greek Persephone, an agriculture goddess. Both end up in the underworld through treachery and both are kept there by "legal loopholes" in the laws of the gods. Persephone remains in the underworld for half a year because she tasted the food of the dead. Osiris remains in the underworld because Ma'at dictates that the dead, even dead gods, may not return to the land of the living.
