In O Isis und Osiris, Schenket der Weisheit Geist, an excerpt from The Magic Flute by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (himself a Freemason), the priest Sarastro prays to the Egyptian goddess Isis and her brother Osiris to protect the young lovers as they pass through the trials of fire and water, a kind of initiatory journey. In this opera, Mozart uses magical and philosophical themes to disseminate nods to Freemasonry.
