Goddess of 10,000 Names

Isis – Endless Emanations of the Priestess

Isis with many names, forms, associations and expressions is referred to as the Goddess of Ten Thousand Names. A name holds power. It defines and energizes or limits. The names, faces, and roles that you play are just one part of your being, yet you exist beyond them, beloved Initiate, as a vast being. You are currently realizing that you are not limited by previous identities you held. Instead, you are becoming more of your whole Self. Enjoy the uncovering of even more of you!

Just like the Lady Isis, you are a multi-faceted, multi-dimensional being. It is most helpful at this phase in your path that you learn not to attach to roles or identities that may have once held great importance for you or others relating to you. It does not mean that you must cease to relate to that name or role, more that you are realizing it is only part of you and there s even more of you wishing to express itself now.

The roles you are needing to move beyond might be mother, executive, healer, good person, strong person, always in control, daughter, teacher or guru, grandmother and so on. There is nothing wrong with these roles and you may still express part of your vast self through such roles, but you are at a significant point in your inner development where you are learning that these are not who you are but simply expressions of the eternal, endless self, uncontainable by any human descriptions.

It can be tricky to avoid getting stuck in roles that others prescribe for you or expect of you, and yet your self-definition will become wider and your experience of yourself will be more real and fulfilling if you are open to discovering more of you, beyond the person you have considered yourself to be up until now. For this to happen, you must be willing to allow the many and varied faces of your being, your Ten Thousand Names, to begin to emerge in your awareness, to realize that you are more than you currently imagine yourself to be. This opens up tremendous freedom of choice and possibility in life. This can be both exhilarating and terrifying! Trust that the Self is, in essence, Divine Love and there is great joy in its unfoldment, even if there are challenges to let go of fears that have held us trapped in certain roles and identities at times. The call to let go of the old identity is very strong, leading you to this Oracle at this time, when a new, more whole, fulfilling and truthful sense of identity awaits you. Any fear or struggle that you go through to allow this to happen, beloved, will be spiritually repaid to you multiplied, in so many ways. There is nothing to lose except old limitations and so much wonder and joy to be gained.

This Oracle also indicates that there is a spiritual name waiting for you on the Inner Planes. The name may come from various spiritual traditions as a name of a deity or sacred mantra, or it could be an actual name that you can sound out and use in meditation or sacred temple activities with spiritual groups. That name may also simply be a note, an inner awareness of a sound, and it can be sourced by going into your heart, almost felt more than heard or spoken. The spiritual name is coming to you to help you deepen your connection with yourself. Like any other identity, it is just a representation for a time. You do no need to pack up your old life in search of an entirely new one unless your heart deeply guides you with peace and neutrality that this is what is needed for your spiritual growth. More often than not, what this spiritual name offers you is a chance to begin to loosen your grip on your old identity, not throw it away completely, and sense yourself in a more expanded light. Whether you consciously and easily receive your spiritual name in meditation or dream state or through a healing or conversation with another Initiate, or whether it remains a mystery, trust that it is in your heart, calling you to recognize more of your true self.

If you already have a spiritual name, this Oracle is guidance to not become too attached to that identity either. Names are was of knowing a being, but they are not the being. This can be hard for us to take on board, in a culture that loves to label and therefore understand everything! For the Initiate, however, accepting mystery is part of the spiritual journey into the Divine Self.

If you have felt constrained by a role, name or identity and are wishing for assistance in growing beyond it, or if you have sensed a new role or identity calling you into greater expression and would love some Divine Help in that growth, this Oracle indicates the help you need is already with you, urging your growth from within.

Ritual of the Spiritual Name

Rest quietly in a space where you will not be disturbed and close your eyes.

Follow your breathing into your heart space and be aware of a vast space there. Rest in that space.

Say, “I open to receive, in unconditional love, the spiritual name that will help me this day as I grow into conscious realization of more of my vast Divine Self!”

Be in your heart and imagine that through the vastness of that inner space, light and sound is weaving towards you in a unique pattern of color, movement and geometry. You may hear, sense, feel or perceive a name, sound or pattern, or it may be happening beneath the level of your conscious awareness, which is fine too! Just let it come to you as obviously or as subtly as it wishes to, for this will serve you best. Imagine the pattern, vibration, name, sound or light drawing effortlessly into your heart and feeling the essence of that pattern, name, sound, light or vibration. This is a gift from your Divine Essence. Don’t analyze it, just allow it to flow.

Whatever does or does not happen obviously is perfect for you. Once you are fully connected with your heart, think “Thank you!” and when you are ready, just open your eyes.

Incantation of the Endless Goddess

This prayer will help evoke a spiritual name if you wish to receive one. Just be open to how that name can come to you – it might be through unexpected sources where you will just “know” that the name is for you at this time. Be in your heart and trust your intuitive recognition of the name will come to you at the perfect time and in the perfect way for you.

The incantation below will also help you shift and release identities and forms that serve you no longer to be replaced by new identities and forms that will help you grow spiritually.
