Osiris (oh-SYE-ris)

African Deity

Osiris

Osiris, lord of the dead and judge of the afterlife, walks with grace through the veils of death and rebirth. Once the living king who brought civilization to Egypt, he was betrayed and dismembered by his brother Set, only to be reassembled and revived by Isis, his devoted wife. This resurrection forged his rule over the Duat—the land beyond the western horizon—where he oversees judgment, renewal, and the sacred order of existence after life. His myth stands as a promise: that death is not an end, but a threshold.

Physical Description

General Physical Condition

Osiris appears as a noble and still figure, skin of verdant green or ash-white, wrapped tightly in the linen of the entombed. He wears the Atef crown and holds the crook and flail—symbols of kingship and divine order. His eyes are calm and unblinking, as though watching time itself drift by, and his presence emanates a grave serenity.

Mental characteristics

Sexuality

His love is immortal, defined by his eternal bond to Isis. Osiris does not seek novelty, but reunion—his intimacy is sacred, cyclical, and constant. It flows like the Nile: rhythmic, nourishing, and entwined with life’s return after loss. Desire for him is a remembering.
