Like a revelation at the end of a long journey the veil is lifted, not this time on Artemis, mentioned at the start of the book, but on nature personified behind the veil of Isis with the attributes of Artemis.
The expression to lift the veil of Isis means to pierce to the heart of a great mystery.
