I am looking to get in touch with people who work with Osiris. How does he help you in your spell work? What does he like ass gifts? Do you have any good books, websites, etc to suggest so I can further my research? I have tried to research online, but all I can find is his back story and sites about some malware that shares his name.
Although Osiris has long been associated with death and called the Lord of the Underworld, truthfully it is more appropriate to acknowledge him as the archetypal regenerative principle that transmutes outworn, deteriorating form into its renewed, shining manifestation of beauty. Osiris invites us to let go and rest deeply upon his earthy green chest as he wraps his supportive arms around our bodies and turns us into that which we are in the process of becoming.
Osiris was said to have been a beloved and benign ruler of Egypt, whose reign featured harmony and great expansion. He brought civilization and prosperity to the people and taught them agriculture and trade. According to the myth, his brother Set became jealous, possibly because of Osiris’s prosperity and popularity, and possibly because Osiris fathered Anubis with Set’s wife, Nephthys. Set murdered Osiris, after which Isis set out—with the help of Thoth, Nephthys, and Anubis—to find her dead husband and restore him to life. His ensuing resurrection made Osiris the god of regeneration and growth.
It came from this website here http://theanubisoracle.com/index.php/glossary-of-the-gods
Check it out, it has a lot of information about Osiris and the other egyptian gods and goddesses
Pixa, one of the other mods here on the site, works with Osiris. If you have questions, I'd suggest speaking with her. She might be able to help you out as far as offerings, deity interactions, etc.
I do a bit of this and that with Wesir/Osiris throughout the year. My particularly favorite time of year is the Wesir Mysteries; oddly enough I was born at the start of them. ^-^
Hey-o :) I work with Osiris, too, though probably not as thoroughly as some of the other posters. He is one of my Patron Gods, however.
Good book, which is no longer in print but can be bought used, is 'The Mysteries of Isis'. It focuses on Isis, but has a lot of wonderful information on Osiris. Has feasts, some ritual items one can make and what not :)
If you want more information on him, feel free to message me!
