When a king of the gods is poisoned by a cosmic serpent, only one woman holds the cure—but she won't give it to him for free.

This week, we journey to ancient Egypt to meet Isis, the Great of Magic. While later history sanitized her into a passive, mourning mother, she was actually the ultimate political strategist and mastermind of the Egyptian pantheon.

Discover how she tracked down the fourteen scattered pieces of her murdered husband, invented the very first mummy, and blackmailed the supreme sun god Ra to steal his hidden, true name. Isis teaches us that true power isn't about brute physical strength—it is about knowledge, strategy, and weaponizing your words.
