Queen Disa (the
name of a legendary Swedish queen)
Slightly puzzled by this comment (I'm afraid I don't know who first made
it) I trawled the net for Disa, since I was sure that Disa was never a queen,
but a sort of demi-goddess, and found this:
"The Goddess Disa or Isa of the North, as delineated on the sacred drums of
the Laplanders, was accompanied by a child similar to the Horus of the
Egyptians. It is observed also that the ancient Muscovites worshipped a sacred
group composed of a mother and her children, probably a representation of the
Egyptian Isis and her offspring, or at least of the once universal idea of the
Deity."
Whether this has any relevance to anything at all I couldn't say.
