O mighty Isis!

I loved Isis as a kid. It's odd that it was only on for one season, in 1975. But I can remember watching it & loving it. And I totally forgot that Isis was a science teacher in her "normal identity"!

Apparently, VH-1 did a Where are They Now: Superheroes, which included Joanna Cameron (Isis) and Erin Grey (Wilma Deering, from Buck Rogers...also a crush back in the day.) That would have been fun to see.

I always was tremendously interested in the Egyptian myths .... I think it was the art as much as anything. I loved the look of them, the strangeness and beauty. They've never grabbed me as personal deities, however, nor've I ever been drawn to Kemetic practice.

But stories of Isis, Osiris, Set, Horus, and the gang filled my early childhood; the TV Isis no doubt filled it out as something that could leap into the modern world.
