Evidence for the use of the castor plant goes back thousands of years, and the oil had practical uses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That makes it an interesting choice for Isis. Isis, or Aset, was one of ancient Egypt&rsquo;s most important goddesses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">She was connected with motherhood, protection, healing, kingship, and powerful magical knowledge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">She was not simply a beauty goddess. For this symbolic pairing, castor oil represents care and restoration rather than glamour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ancient beauty was often practical. The climate could be extremely dry. Skin and hair needed protection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Oils helped provide it. Isis fits that idea well. Beauty is not always about decoration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sometimes taking care of something is what allows its natural strength to remain visible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">7.
