Bible Note: "Main Entry: gee Function: interjection Etymology: euphemism for Jesus" (http://www.m-w.com/cgi-bin/dictionary) Searcher: Thank you for pointing out the etymology of the word "gee". This word is offensive also to me. P.S. Isis. "Main Entry: Isis : an Egyptian nature goddess and wife and sister of Osiris" (http://www.m-w.com/cgi-bin/dictionary) "Isis was a magician, possibly the archetype for the high priestess of the tarot. She learned her magic from Thoth, although according to some legends she obtained her powers from Ra himself by tricking him into revealing his name to her, thus acquiring his full magical knowledge."
