Notice to all FOI Sites:
It is now 9 months since Olivia's
passing, time which seems to have flown by as we deal with her loss. A
time, also, when we come to truly understand the vast legacy she left
behind, a legacy which continues to inspire and enliven us all on our
vocational paths! In 2016 the Fellowship of Isis will celebrate its 40th
anniversary, a profound vision of love, community and spiritual
devotion to the Divine Feminine which Olivia and Lawrence created at the
Vernal Equinox in 1976. As the Fellowship grows, with possibly as many
as 30,000 members, we come to realise the expansiveness of that vision!
The huge quantity of work that Olivia and Lawrence put into the FOI, is
only now being realised as we take up the mantle and we thank the Gods
for the gift that they both gave to us!
As part of the upcoming celebrations, we, at the Foundation Centre
on the borders of counties Carlow and Wexford, felt that it would be
wonderful to have a very clear sense of the extent of the membership and
the Iseums, Lyceums, Priories and Groves and other groups in existence.
We have discussed the possiblity of creating a world map with markings
showing the location of all groups being run throughout the world. There
is so much marvelous work being done throughout the Fellowship that it
would be a lovely thing to honour it!
To that end, we are asking all Iseums, Lyceums, Priories and Groves,
and other groups within the Fellowship, to renew contact with the
Foundation Centre so that we do not, in error, leave anyone out! Perhaps
you could also explain a little about the groups you run so that the
members of the Fellowship come to know more about you.
We would ask that groups contact us by Samhain 2015 (October 31st)
so that we can begin to create the map and have it ready in time for the
anniversary itself.
Looking forward to hearing from you all!
With the blessings of Isis,
The Circle of Brigid
