But again I'd like to stress the point that Isis worshipped ORIGINATED at the Nile Delta, it is literally the birthplace of Isis. You all seem to be taking the gods of Egypt out of context in my opinion. Fertility does not necessarily mean plants, and if you're going to make the plant argument I can argue that as one of Isis's positions was watching over crops, then she was responsible for bringing rain to the fields, hence water. Isis's job wasn't to make the crops grow, it was to bring about the natural conditions necessary for them to grow, she brought rain and she made the fields fertile, but she didn't make the plants grow. I'd even argue her as a Ground/Magic rather than Grass because Grass just doesn't compliment Magic well, especially in the context of a desert country.

OK, I don't have a drawing right now but this is what I'm angling towards, a typical Isis-like head with no mouth and reeds for hair. A collar-shoulder combination based on the cereus or desert dandelion, with two leek-like arms and a dress based on a cactus, with a bulbous shape. Isission holds a huge supply of water in a sac inside this dress, which she uses to water plants as she travels across the land. When Isission sheds her petals, they form a highly fertile humus when decomposed. In this way, Isission brings fertility to the land.
