Heru Birthday Celebration: Temple of Isis Utah


From Kasey Conder, Pr. H., and Founder of Temple of Isis Utah:

Heru Birthday Celebration


Sunday December 12th, 2010, 2pm.

Held at a private Isis Temple. Please e-mail host/esses for directions. kaseyisian (at) gmail.com;

Come celebrate the birth of the son of Isis, the falcon-headed neter, Heru, who is encompasses the symbology of the majestic nature of the sun and the soaring falcon and hawks in the heavens.

The will be a modernized rite based on ancient festivities to commemorate the birth of Heru. (Note: Horus, Greek, Heru, Egyptian, also other spellings) We will invoke the seven ancient planets, going into a trance and have an oracle of the Divine Mother and the Divine Son.

According to Stephen Mehler in his book, "The Land of Osiris" and based upon oral indigenous traditions within Egypt, the named Heru or Hor meant the perfected man and thus Hathor would mean the perfected woman. Also to elaborate on his definition it would also mean a person who had a "flowering of senses" and attained a "degree of enlightenment". It also denotes a state of advanced consciousness.

This rite has mutliple meanings and will have a pyramid altar, the sacred number seven (also sacred in the Pythagorean Mysteries), and the sacred Apis Bull and Heavenly Mother Cow Goddess Hathor/Nuit.

Please join us. Space is limited. Please RSVP prior to day of and bring a vegetarian potluck dish to share afterwords.


Blessings of Aset

I've been guiding people from across the world for the last several years, offering an in-depth spiritual awareness course working primarily with the Goddesses Sophia and Isis. In addition, I touch upon the many others guides surrounds the Pries/tess Initiate and I. These courses are offered through email correspondence and personal telephone contact (no Long-Distance Charges incurred for participants). They are designed to lead the student through exercises in relation to move to more advanced path - working visualization skills and magical techniques.

Fellowship of Isis Convention 2011

Reviews of Venue

Iseum of Eleusis, Hearth of the Goddess


It is now the intention of so many iseum founders to hold their gatherings in their own homes.

Olivia Robertson notes that the original intention of Lawrence, Pamela, and herself was to return the Hearth Fire of the Goddess to the home. Under patriarchy, their followers were forced to build churches and halls at great expense to keep priestesses from power.

Now the financial climate makes a return to the Hearth for ceremonies appropriate. Many conventions already do this, including those held in Clonegal Castle.

Founders of FOI centers who would like to join this return to the Hearth Fire may list their participation under the heading of The Vestal Flame.


Signed,

Olivia Robertson
Iseum of Eleusis of Chicago

Note: Iseum of Eleusis is the FOI centre of Deena Butta, where Olivia is currently staying during her stay in the USA. Deena is Olivia's hostess in Chicago each year, and facilitates the annual FOI Goddess Festivals in Chicago.

In Memory of Isaac Bonewits


Isaac Bonewits passed on August 12, 2010.


Thank you, Isaac Bonewits, for sharing so much, for giving of yourself so freely. May you find peace, joy and happiness on the other side of the Rainbow Bridge.


Isaac was a long time member of the Fellowship of Isis. He spent time with FOI Co-Founder Olivia Robertson and Caroline Wise at the Parliament of World Religions in Chicago, 1993. Caroline writes: "He was very entertaining, a mercurial mind, a good memory."


He found his own way, his own connection and shared unselfishly. His life served as a shining example of what FOI Co-Founder Olivia Robertson always says we should do - express our "own ideals and faith ... FOI is for the individual - not the individual submerged in the group!"

FOI Germany - Seminars and Classes



From Linda Iles: The FOI Germany website was created by Rt. Rev. Claudia Wehmeyer and Rt. Rev. Thomas Wehmeyer. Their "Cybertemple of the Goddess of Ten Thousand Names" was first published to the internet in 1997. It was one of the earlier FOI related websites. Claudia and Thomas are the founders of The Nemeton of Dana and Tara Hedge College in Germany. After a recent overhaul of their website, it was republished to the internet with the domain name of http://www.isis-kolleg.de/indexfoid.htm

Claudia and Thomas have worked for many years establishing a viable and strong community of FOI members and centres, particularly in Germany and Switzerland. They offer training and workshops regularly throughout the year, along with correspondence courses for FOI Iseums, Lyceums and the Druid Clan of Dana. They produced a Goddess themed publication “Zeit der Goettin” (Time of the Goddess) and “Hinkelstein” (Megalith). Presently they are publishing “Heckenkurier” (Hedge Messenger), also a Goddess themed magazine. They have hosted the annual Symphony for the Goddess, an FOI gathering which received international attendance, and included featured presentations by FOI co-founder Olivia Robertson and Caroline Wise of London.

The Mysteries of Isis & Osiris

Received from Caitlín Matthews:

19-22 August 2010 The Mysteries of Isis & Osiris with Naomi Ozaniec & Caitlín Matthews.
This is a rare opportunity to participate in the enactment of The Mysteries of Isis and Osiris that stand at the source of the Western Mystery Tradition. The death and resurrection of Osiris embodyies the great human themes of love, loss and hope. By means of group meditation, reflection and ritual we will enact the stages of this classic initiatory drama whose gifts bring a sense of rebirth and the greening of the heart. This course opens up the sacred traditions of Egypt at a time when the core of Western society is being dismembered. As Osiris, the Good God, the green-faced God of death and renewal, was tricked by treachery, made vulnerable by trust, so likewise society has been lulled into sleep. The family of humanity now has unprecedented opportunity to recognise itself as never before and discover Isis, the winged Goddess of Ten Thousand Names, whose infinite compassion seeks out the dismembered beloved to preside over the Mysteries of Rebirth in the infinite cycle of being and becoming which makes the world new again.


Please bring a white robe or white clean clothing for the rituals.

The Spoken Cabala




From FOI Priestess and author Arisa Victor:

"Dear Taroteers and Lovers of Wisdom -

It is very exciting to be re-birthing this book that first saw the light of day in 1989. It was a great book then and is an even better book now, because some extra features have been added. Undying gratitude to my publisher, Paul A. Clark and his right-hand woman, Cindy Forbes, of the Fraternity of the Hidden Light. www.FLO.com

My Tarot and Cabala teacher, Jason Lotterhand, was amazingly wise and funny and helpful. Everything he said is totally current today. Wisdom is timeless! Soul stirring! Inspiring!

This book was responsible for bringing me together with the Open Secret, 12 years ago. Our owner read it and wanted to meet Jason and his scribe. A fortuitous meeting of minds and hearts.

THE SPOKEN CABALA: TAROT EXPLORATIONS OF THE ONE SELF has been selling well in the Open Secret Bookstore. Come check it out and hear some stories and words of this Cabala master.

The Temple Room -- Open Secret Bookstore, 923 C Street, San Rafael 94901-- Friday, July 16 -- 7:30 PM

On Wednesday, August 4, I will be starting a new Tarot series based on this book, plus instruction in reading the cards. 7-9PM, $10

Blessings on The Path of Liberation -

Convocation of the Fellowship of Isis 2010



The very first Convocation of the Fellowship of Isis held at Isis Oasis occurred in October of 1990. Photos of this first convocation at Isis Oasis were featured on the front page of the San Francisco Chronicle. Staff members from this newspaper happened to be doing a story about Isis Oasis that weekend.

The 2010 Convocation is dedicated to "Isis of Ten Thousand Names." The dates are October 8 - October 11 - Friday evening through Monday afternoon. FOI Co-Founder Olivia Robertson gives a guided meditation Friday evening and officiates the ordinations and consecrations. Presentations of many different types, lectures, meditations, dance, music and a play written by Loreon Vigne will be offered throughout the rest of the event. Ordinations take place on the tenth day of the tenth month in the year 2010 - a very powerful alignment!
