New French Lyceum and Grove

2011-12-18T13:47:00.000-06:00

The Fellowship of Isis in France

Report from the Most Reverend Dr Vivianne Crowley, Lyceum

Of Belisama and Grove of Ana:

"I am delighted to announce that Lady Olivia has inaugurated two new Fellowship of Isis groups in France – the Lyceum of Belisama and the Druid Grove of Ana. Both groups are based in Brittany, France’s Celtic north-west.

Belisama was worshiped by the ancient Gauls and in northern Italy. She is the ‘Most Powerful One’ and was associated in the Roman era with Minerva. Ana is the Mother Goddess of Brittany. She was incorporated into Breton Christian tradition as the Mother of Mary and therefore grandmother of Jesus. Hers is the largest religious festival in Brittany.

The Lyceum will provide training in the Isian priesthood for men and women seeking ordination in France. The Druid Grove will hold seasonal celebrations for those on the Druid path.

Olivia chartered the Lyceum on 15 August 2011. This was followed by a ceremony at Clonegal Castle on 12 November 2011, where I was deeply honoured to be presented by Olivia’s niece Cressida Pryor and initiated as an Archdruidess of the Druid Clan of Dana by Olivia and ordained as a Priestess of Belisama.

The November day was bathed in golden sunshine as we processed from the Castle courtyard to the Old Abbey for invocations to invoke the energies of the Goddess in Nature. We then proceeded to the Castle Temple for the initiation and ordination, followed by a seasonal celebration. The same golden light permeated the indoor ceremonies, until a wonderful pure blue healing energy made itself felt, entwining itself with the gold as Isis, Belisama and Ana manifested their energies.

In December, we are holding a ceremony in our stone circle in Brittany to root the energies of the FOI in Breton soil. We are also planning a small gathering in France for summer 2012. Anyone wishing to participate is invited to contact the Lyceum and Grove through viviannecrowley@gmail.com"

Bulletin par la Révérendissime Dr Vivianne Crowley, Lyceum de Belisama et le Cercle Druidique du Bosquet Sacré d’Ana

J’ai le plaisir d’annoncer que Dame Olivia a inauguré, en France, deux nouveaux groupes affiliés à la Fellowship d’Isis – le Lyceum de Belisama et le Cercle Druidique du Bosquet Sacré d’Ana. Ces deux groupes ont été fondés en Bretagne.

Belisama était vénérée par les anciens Gaulois ainsi que dans le nord de l’Italie. Nommée “la Plus Puissante”, elle était associée du temps des Romains à Minerve. Ana est la Déesse Mère, patronne de la Bretagne. Elle fut intégrée à la tradition chrétienne bretonne en tant que Mère de la Vierge Marie, et donc grand-mère de Jésus. Sa fête donne lieu au plus important pèlerinage religieux de Bretagne.

Le Lyceum sera consacré à la prêtrise d’Isis, offrant une formation sacerdotale aux hommes et femmes souhaitant être ordonnés en France. Le Cercle Druidique organisera les fêtes saisonnières pour ceux suivant le chemin druidique.

Dame Olivia a constitué le Lyceum le 15 août 2011. Cette événement fut suivi par une cérémonie en Irlande au Château de Clonegal le 12 novembre 2011, où j’eu le grand honneur d’être présentée par la nièce d’Olivia, Cressida Pryor, et initiée Archidruidesse du Clan Druidique de Dana par Olivia et ordonnée Prêtresse de Belisama.

Ce jour de novembre fut baigné de soleil, accompagnant notre procession de la court du Château à l’Ancienne Abbaye où nous nous rendions pour invoquer les énergies de la Déesse en la Nature. Nous nous sommes ensuite dirigés vers le temple du Château pour l’initiation et l’ordination, qui furent suivies par une fête saisonnière. La même lumière dorée baigna les cérémonies organisées en intérieur, jusqu’à ce qu’une merveilleuse énergie guérissante d’un bleu pur se fit ressentir, se mélangeant à l’or, alors qu’Isis, Belisama et Ana manifestaient leurs énergies.

En décembre, nous avons organisé une cérémonie au sein de notre cercle de pierres levées en Bretagne pour enraciner les énergies de la Fellowship d’Isis dans le sol Breton. Nous envisageons également un petit rassemblement en France pour l’été 2012. Toute personne souhaitant participer est priée de contacter le Lyceum et le Cercle à l’adresse suivante: viviannecrowley@gmail.com.

FOI Ordination of Rev. Tamara Siuda, 29 October 2011

2011-11-13T22:49:00.002-06:00

Below is a message written by Lady Olivia Robertson:
"I had great pleasure on the 29th of October 2011 in ordaining the Rev. Tamara Siuda with Rt. Rev. Deena Butta in her chartering Lyceum of Alexandria, Chicago. I learnt much of Rev. Tamara's authentic work in reviving the Ancient Egyptian Kemetic faith in modern days, and I appreciate this effort by Tamara and the extent of her work."

Rev. Tamara Siuda tells of her work:
"The Kemetic Orthodox faith was founded in 1989. Through various incarnations, it now has hundreds of members in more than two dozen countries worldwide, and an extended fellowship, ritual, and instruction network online directed from our main temple, The House of Netjer, in Joliet, Illinois. We seek to revive the Ancient Egyptian religion via scholarship and spiritual work in both Egyptology and serving Ma'at in the world. For more information see our websites www.kemet.org and www.netjer.org."

The gifts of Wisdom, Compassion, and Beauty offered by Tamara to her matron goddess (Isis Stella Maris) and helper goddesses (Neith of Egypt, Lada Matryushka of Russia, and La Sirene of Haiti) are numerous. They will be published fully in Isis Seshat Journal along with Tamara's translation of the story of how Isis learned Ra's name. Briefly, they include her Master's degrees in Egyptology and Coptic studies; work in various capacities with the Oriental Institute, Field Museum, and many other museums; Reiki certification; Haitian Vodou initiations; a foundation that helps children; extensive instruction online and in various media and organizations; numerous publications pertaining to Egypt and Vodou; and much more.

The Lyceum of Alexandria is proud and grateful to welcome Rev. Tamara Siuda to the priesthood of the Fellowship of Isis.

Iseum of the Sisters of Isis

2011-10-28T21:22:00.000-05:00

The Iseum of the Sisters of Isis has been founded by Rev. Stephanie Campbell .

Sisters of Isis aim to create happiness, friendship, and understanding for all whose lives touch theirs. The Iseum is inclusive, not exclusive. Members rescue victims: men, women, children and animals who are used as scapegoats. Many vulnerable people are despised and belittled because of personal, racial, social, or religious differences. Telepathy, empathy, and spiritual insight are used by members to promote self-confidence, open-mindedness, and originality. This rainbow network unites beings of all worlds through love and wisdom.

Ordination and Initiation Preparation

2011-08-20T23:04:00.000-05:00

From Olivia Robertson
via Caroline Wise
Received July 28, 2011

A Priestess of Isis here in Avalon, Celia, asked me how my brother and I prepared candidates for Ordination and other Initiations.

Our essential aim for any Candidate was to receive direct revelation of the real existence of the Goddess. This we achieved through the Candidate developing psychic and spiritual awakening through trance experience and dream interpretation. Development of the Kundalini was all important for receiving the direct flow of energy through the body.
The Candidate was required to have a practical way to care for others through nature, social work, care for animals or the environment.

Practice of the Arts and Crafts was necessary for each Candidate to develop his or her unique gifts. Lawrence and myself gave our sessions for eight day periods. We would assemble in the library in the morning and each person was required to read a paper on some relevant subject to FOI. In the afternoons, we made pilgrimage to a sacred place to cooperate with the local energies.

At 6.00 p.m. we would assemble to experience magical journeys of the soul, where each person would report on what they received spiritually. Here, some found the gift of Oracle, others of Healing and Counselling. We accepted the equality of Teacher and Candidate, demanded no violation of their private lives or asked for any binding vows. When we felt that the Candidate was accepted by the Goddess and her Consort the God, we would then give the Rite of Rebirth, followed by Ordination in our Temple of Isis in full ceremony. The new Priestess or Priest, in our experience, received a full flow of divine energy. They then, as was the custom of the ancient Priesthood, gave their Blessing to the world, with a declaration of their future spiritual intent.

Egyptian Theater in Moscow: The Wife of Orion

2011-07-27T07:08:00.002-05:00

Here is a preview of the Video-Mystery, THE SACRAL BOOK OF ISIS written by Victoria Preobrazhensky and performed by New Mystery of Egyptian Theatre.

This section is called The Wife of Orion.

Here is a synopsis of the action:

The epoch of Aquarius creates in the Universe the New Mystery of the Mother of the World, Goddess Isis of Ten Thousand Names.

At an entrance into a sacred Labyrinth (a wheel of reincarnations) stands Horus, Son of ISIS. He symbolizes humanity. Before Horus, there is a heavy way of risings and fallings, the path of the warrior which leads to perfection.

Horus wanders in the Labyrinth of Time. But it is time to leave the Labyrinth already, having found the Way to the Bosom of the Great Mother of Light. Horus hears the Call of the Goddess, and connects with the Great Mother, glorifying Her, covered by the Gold of Her Universal Wings. At last, He has found Himself, and cognized the Truth.

Next: the Ascension of Horus into the Kingdom of Light:
the Starry Rostau-Duat, where Orion (Osiris) and Sirius (Isis) wait for Horus to unite with the Father (Osiris).

Isis-Sotis and the Star Hierarchy, on the way of Ascension of Horus into the Heavenly Duat, help Him to become «A star, as a live soul...». Horus comprehends Eternity...

At the same time the Wife of Orion, the Goddess Isis, soaring in the form of white bird over the renovated Earth, enters into the fourth dimension. She admires the beauty and harmony of the new world created by Her. She has won a victory over the Dragon who constantly pursued «The wife and Her Seed» on the Earth. The dragon made slaves of humanity, having put on all the weak-willed the black seals of death (the label of the beast).

Having passed through the Time of Great Sorrow, the White Star Tribe resists the Dragon led by the Wife of Orion.

The long-awaited Victory of Light takes place.

And now, Isis is with Orion, and Her Beloved Horus (Horus-Osiris). She, at last, has executed the universal mission: She has won a victory over the insidious Seth — world evil —through Her Beauty, Knowledge and LOVE!

The Sixth Race, revived by the Great Mother, came to the New Earth-Bohema and glorified The progenitress of the Universe! mankind has entered the Golden Age of LOVE, Beauty and Harmony — the Epoch of the Mother of the World.

The Sacral Book of Isis : Wife of Orion was created by Victoria Preobrazhensky,

The Sacral Book of Isis will soon be available in English. Watch for sections of it in the next issue of Isis Seshat Journal!

PRIESTHOOD TRAINING

2011-07-22T09:19:00.000-05:00

Musings on Priesthood Training Courses
From Olivia Robertson 22/7/2011

As we have said in our Manifesto, My brother and I have printed our ordination ceremony but left it to individual priestesses and Priests to offer their own form of training. Purely from a personal point of view I like what Caroline has told me this morning so I have prevailed on her to offer her own method which is modern, democratic and original. It allows the candidate to bring the Goddess into everyday life.

My brother and I were very clear that anyone could leave the Fellowship, including the priesthood and any FOI group or course at anytime and that they will be sent forth with goodwill and kindness however annoyed they are at the time! I don’t mind if they find spiritual support elsewhere. The Priestess allows the candidate privacy and therefore freedom in their personal life. There should be no vows or secrecy. Let us be happy! Love is the Heartbeat of the Universe. OR

My brother is present as Caroline and I are talking here on the sofa after breakfast:

From Caroline: Olivia has asked me to share the basics of my Priestess training.

My course is open to all who come with a genuine good heart. It is a very practical and the aims are for the candidate to integrate the Goddess into the ‘mundane’ sphere, what we call everyday life, which includes ones’ work, hobbies, and other activities. This extends to some form of conservation work; practical or raising awareness; Some similar work will be taken with animals and the environment. This is not as daunting as it sounds, trust me! This complements academic research – hearing of your genuine psychic and spiritual contact with the goddess is as important, if not more so, than you telling me what you have learned from books!

The practical work also complements this more esoteric work such as the daily meditations and psychic attunements, FOI Liturgy rites, joining us in solo distant attunement, dream understanding, and bi-monthly group meetings. To me the most important aspect of the role of Priestess is to give the oracle of the Goddess, and it is a particular feature of the FOI priesthood. My course offers training with this.

The candidate finds that by the date of their ordination, they are already acting as a Priestess or Priest with grace in all spheres of their life, including how they treat others, how they share, and how they treat themselves. Equally, I see the role of the Pr/Prs offering an ordination course as one of bringing out the Pr/Prs already within the candidate. No form of bossing or discipline should be present in the relationship. There can be no form of domineering from teacher to student, the relationship is not healthy if the teacher acts like a boss, and the student should not accept it. The newly ordained Prs or Pr is free to continue working with the same people, or to start their own group and to go forth with blessings of the Fellowship. Aset Shemu.

Prayer Request For Indigenous People

2011-07-19T17:58:00.002-05:00

Lady Olivia has asked that the following message be widely distributed:

"From Olivia Robertson, Druidess. Festival of Opet, Isis the Awakener.

I have been overwhelmed by the needs of my friends the Hopi, Mayans, and Polynesians and other Native American peoples both North and South to save their whole life-style from well meaning but disasterous intervention.

Now at last the the Divine Command of the Earth Goddess has been heard as Druidess Caroline Wise was summoned to see Her Excellency the Bolivian Ambassador to London to help the Earth Goddess and the indigenous people. The Ambassadress has said we are five minutes to midnight to saving the earth, and that the earth goddess Patchamama is now officially recognised by the Bolivian government.

If we want to help, each of us can light a candle to the Earth Goddess that we may perform her Divine Will to save the Earth. Not our will, her will by forming a network of lights around the earth. "

--Olivia Robertson

A message from Caroline Wise was also received:

" I was very honoured to be asked to a meeing at the Bolivian Embassy by the Ambassador to Britain Maria Beatriz Souviron to discuss the summer solstice significance at Stonehenge, and the goddess. I was also asked to describe our own beliefs in the Fellowship of Isis. I told her about our work in the Druid Clan of Dana and the Noble Order of Tara. Vivianne Crowley represented Wicca. Please see my report in the latest Isian News. The ambassador said we are five minutes to midnight regarding the diminution of earth’s resources. She was aware that the pagan practice of the Bolivian indigenous people have similarities with modern ‘Western’ pagan practice. While I am aware that there are also differences that may not be in accord with my own practice, the important thing is that the Goddess has been officially recognised by a democratically elected government and this will lead to more recognition of the Goddess world wide.

To help with this restoration of the Goddess, I sanction Olivia’s suggestion that we light candles and send the light forth to the indigenous people of the world. Five minutes to midnight on any day convenient to you would be a good time to do this; if this is not possible, then any time could be symbolic of ‘five minutes to midnight’."

--Caroline Wise

Datura: Esoteric Poetry Anthology

2011-07-17T14:23:00.000-05:00

Chicago esoteric poet and FOI member Anna Applegate has been published in Scarlet Imprint Press's poetry anthology, Datura.

Now we have two more.

Aisling

One, Aisling, is a Mer-girl, offspring of the Goddess Dana,

and supported by Fionnuala the Swan Maiden – on the left,

And a White Sidhe with Baby – on the right.

With an elaborate aura indicating Divinity.

The child is sponsored by two women,

One black, one white,

Who are surmounted by a picture of

The Goddess Tara, Star of the Mountain.

Tara

(All paintings by Olivia Robertson)

Lady Olivia says:

"What to me means much, is that I have used this chapel to show 3 Goddesses who have come to me: Tara in 1946, Dana in 1952 & a side picture of Brigid in the year 2000.

Am I being told that the descent of Ishtar through various levels represents incarnation, especially now with Star Children?

Anyway all beings have a star within – I’ve been rather reluctant to show these new arrivals from beyond – but the first boy rather took over! He’s found a mirror door."

….

Lady Olivia says:

“I would like to share a psychic experience I was given

on Wed 27^th April, 2011,

which inspired me to paint the STAR CHILD”

“While lying in bed at 6 am, I found myself standing before the Ishtar Altar. I was puzzled because a shining figure made of pure white light was blocking my view of the Altar frontal, of my painting of the Winged Goddess.

The figure was that of a child – I could not determine the gender.

I believe the child represents the Star Children from beyond our earth who are incarnating at present.

However, all of us, old and young are born of the Goddess, so we may share this gentle coming with equality, happiness and love.”

STAR CHAPEL CEILING

Lit by Olivia Robertson's painted Window

between the Star Chapel &The Well

In 1980

the Star Chapel was created

by Co-Founders,

Lawrence Durdin-Robertson and his sister Olivia.

They worked together painstakingly

to clear an ancient wine cellar in the basement of the Castle.

The Ceiling was designed by Lawrence

to show many of the wonderful Non-Zodiac Constellations

such as the Polar Constellations,

including Caer Arianrhod,

her Pole Star home,

and the Great Bear.

There are Cygnus the Swan,

the Ariadne Crown,

Andromeda’s Sea Monster,

Sirius,

Orion

& Cassiopeia

Having first painted the whole Ceiling deep blue,

Lawrence created cardboard stencils.

These Olivia then used to paint the Stars in gold.

Here are some small photos of parts of the ceiling just to give a sense of it.

Olivia pointed out Sirius at the top ofthe picture below:

CAVE OF THE MOTHERS

I did feel our curtained off dungeon,

“Cave of the Mothers”

lacked cheerfulness.

It was all Fates & Norns & Eggs.

So for the New Aeon

I have opened it wide for all.

On the altar is a joyful OSIRIS

awakened by the WINGED ISIS!

This is eternal bliss

springing from the Mothers (and Fathers).

THE WINGED DISC

carved by

David Durdin-Robertson

Winged Disk by David Durdin Robertson

This represents the Spiritual Sun with two balancing wings overlooking the Leo & Virgo Shrines

of the Rising of the Nile

within the double sign

THE ANTHROSPHINX.

Anthroposphinx

On the left is the Sphinx of Leo

receiving a procession of followers

of Amon Ra, the Ram God.

On the right are followers

of the Aten Sun of Akhenaton.

Below the winged disc are Sekhmet, (Head of a Lioness),

as the Lady and the Lion, painting by Olivia Robertson,

and Bast Cat Goddess with Ra overhead

as the Deities of the Anthrosphinx,

and a red disc. SEKHMET, BAST & RA overhead,

are thus represented as a Triad.

Within the Anthrosphinx period of Leo & Virgo

is the Rising of the Nile

heralding the Egyptian New Year.

We have the symbolic figures

of Sekhmet, Goddess with head of a lion

in a woman’s body

and the Sphinx, God Harmachis,

with head of a God and body of a lion.

Aquarian Goddess

STATUE OF ISIS
by
David Durdin-Robertson

Isis is represented as the Aquarian Goddess

holding a Water Jar

formed by the Sun

with two handles of the waxing and waning Moon.

Above Her is

the Crown of Rulership

and by Her are statuettes

of Bast & Horus

Of the Rising Sun.

Comment: Isis has, in fact, been literally ‘brought down to earth’ by about 6 inches.

Olivia spent hours disassembling the High Altar

and then rearranging and putting it all together again.

What struck me as I gazed at it was

the amazing presence of the Goddess.

Her energy almost stepped forward and down off the Altar. --MQ

Greetings From Moscow

2011-04-01T10:58:00.001-05:00

a beautiful new photo from Victoria Preobrazhenskaya:

Greetings, Aset Shemsu, from Victoria RA!

Welcome to the Temple of Isis: Moscow.

Request from Dr. Masaru Emoto

2011-04-01T10:54:00.001-05:00

Read Dr. Emoto's blog HERE.
:
Please send your prayers of love and gratitude to water at the nuclear plants in Fukushima , Japan !

By the massive earthquakes of Magnitude 9 and surreal massive tsunamis, more than 10,000 people are still missing…even now… It has been 16 days already since the disaster happened. What makes it worse is that water at the reactors of Fukushima Nuclear Plants started to leak, and it’s contaminating the ocean, air and water molecule of surrounding areas.

Human wisdom has not been able to do much to solve the problem, but we are only trying to cool down the anger of radioactive materials in the reactors by discharging water to them.

Is there really nothing else to do?

I think there is. During over twenty year research of hado measuring and water crystal photographic technology, I have been witnessing that water can turn positive when it receives pure vibration of human prayer no matter how far away it is.

Energy formula of Albert Einstein, E=MC2 really means that Energy = number of people and the square of people’s consciousness.

Now is the time to understand the true meaning. Let us all join the prayer ceremony as fellow citizens of the planet earth. I would like to ask all people, not just in Japan , but all around the world to please help us to find a way out the crisis of this planet!!
The prayer procedure is as follows.

Name of ceremony:
“Let’s send our thoughts of love and gratitude to all water in the nuclear plants in Fukushima ”

Day and Time:
March 31st, 2011 (Thursday)
12:00 noon in each time zone

Please say the following phrase:
“The water of Fukushima Nuclear Plant,
we are sorry to make you suffer.
Please forgive us. We thank you, and we love you.”

Please say it aloud or in your mind. Repeat it three times as you put your hands together in a prayer position. Please offer your sincere prayer.

Thank you very much from my heart.

With love and gratitude,
Masaru Emoto
Messenger of Water

Apollo and Dionysos

MASKS OF THE GOD APOLLO IN TOGA
&
THE VEILED GOD DIONYSOS

The primary dichotomy between TRUTH & LOVE
was represented in Greek philosophy by these Deities.
At one time they shared their ceremonies at The Parthenon
to bring balance.
Then Dionysos burnt down the Temple!

Apollo and the 9 Muses preside over Mount Parnassos & Dionysos in wild woodland.
The Academic world and the Nature votaries still require Harmony.
