The Sword of Destiny: Oracle of the Goddess Morgan

Invocation: I invoke the Goddess Morgan, Who guards the mysteries of darkness and light; Who rules among the Sidhe and walks the silver paths of moon-limned oceans. Aid us to draw forth Your Sword of Destiny, Lady of Raven and Moon!

Oracle of the Goddess Morgan as Given Through Her Priestess

I am the Star that rises over deep waters. To learn the wise use of power, to walk freely upon the spirit-ways, turn to Me, the Goddess Morgan, Queen of the Paths of Magic! You need the guiding light of My Sword of Truth.

In darkness, there will you find My Moon, which shields the flames of the Inner Sun behind a silvery veil; in the light of day, you will find My dark messenger the Raven, herald of the unseen - know that I am not divided within Myself. Light and dark, that which is seen and not seen, all exist within Me in harmony. Follow My example, be whole, for you are innately holy!

When you attain success, the heavens ring with your laughter, and when you fail, your sorrow can make tears fall from a stone. Be courageous! Time after time as you incarnate upon this earth, you are made to suffer and you see what others must endure. Yet you can also experience joy and love in such measure as to be wondered at by the Goddesses and the Gods.

All that is created by Deity springs from ecstasy - your endeavors come through toil and discipline. Yet you are Our beloved children, the fulfillment of Our labors - remember ecstasy was your source spring. Through you all We have created on earth can be blessed - or - it can be destroyed.

My Sword of Truth lies upon the dark waters. Its blade is fine and sharp! With quicksilver gleam it lights the spirit ways, from earth to moon, from to sun to star. Be the true daughter, the true son, and bring forth love, truth and beauty in My Name. Grip the hilt of the Sword of your Destiny. Use it well. And take Heart!

Blessed Samhain!

 May You Have a Blessed Samhain!

"The division between these two worlds is only in your mind. In verity you travel to other spheres while your body sleeps. It is only at dawn and at twilight, at Beltaine and Samhain, that the veil is drawn aside for those who seek greater consciousness. All spheres form part of one mighty spiral of Time travelling through Space. Consciousness expands with size." ~ Olivia Robertson, FOI co-founder, from the Oracle of the Goddess Brighid, "Communion with the World of Spirits"in "Panthea, Initiations and Festivals of the Goddess."

Rite to ask for the Help of Isis and the Healing Gods

On the Anniversary of the Fellowship of Isis on the Vernal Equinox, I came to members of the Italian community of the Fellowship of Isis on the Facebook group “Casa di Aset, FOI Italia” with the idea to create a healing rite for these troubled times.

This was due in part to reading the heartfelt words of Ivana Modesto, posted on “Fellowship of Isis Central Site and News.” What better place to begin than in a country where the veneration of the goddess Isis, patroness of our Fellowship entered into Italy and beyond. For wherever the Romans went, the worship of Isis went.

Now is the time to connect with the protective and healing energies of the Goddess, to tune into her strength and wisdom. Many must stay confined to their homes, or restricted in their daily movements, so now is the perfect time for prayer, meditation and ritual.

The rite will be enacted on March 25, which according to "Juno Covella" by Lawrence Durdin-Robertson marked the celebration of the Hilaria, a festival of joy. The rite will take place in Italy at 10pm and on the west coast of the USA at 1pm. We hope those of you who feel inspired will join us on that day.

Happy Anniversary to the Fellowship of Isis

Happy Anniversary to the Fellowship of Isis, founded on the Vernal Equinox in 1976

"The Fellowship has steadily grown because so many have returned to Her, awakening to Her Voice in heart, mind and spirit. More and more people dream dreams, they have visions.

This is an age of those who have the courage to remain young in heart. By this, I mean they remain joyful and positive in the face of adversity, and they continue to believe and work towards the creation of a bright future. Those who remain young in heart enter the portals of the spiritual world of Isis. The veil between the psychic and the earthly has been drawn aside for them. What do they find there? They find that each has within themselves the key to life. True life is of the spirit, it is eternal - it comes from Isis, Who is Mother of All.” ~ FOI Co-Founder, Olivia Robertson

Announcement from the FOI Foundation Union Triad

March 8, 2020

For over a year, various centers and central websites of the Fellowship of Isis, headed by members who received copyright agreements in writing from Olivia Robertson, have worked together on a project that was endorsed by Olivia. It has taken a while to inaugurate because the sound quality of the recordings Olivia sent to us was not as good as could be. We found a wonderful team of technicians who have helped to clean up the sound quality – a laborious process for recordings that are typically over an hour in length.

Among those who helped with this project, we especially wish to thank two members for their assistance, Sarah Rooke of the Lyceum of Isis and Sekhmet of the Stars and Tarnia Spaven of the Iseum of the Clan of the Wolf Moon. There are more rites to come which Olivia sent directly to our central FOI website managers.

We hope you enjoy listening to the voices of FOI co-founders Olivia Robertson, Lawrence Durdin-Robertson and various early FOI members who helped to enact the rites with them.

Prayers for Australia

Members of the Fellowship of Isis have viewed the devastation in Australia with heavy hearts. As of 14 January 2020, the bush fires have covered an estimated 46 million acres or 186,000 square kilometers.  The loss of life, the loss of homes and of personal property is distressing enough on its own. But coupled with that, it is estimated that a billion animals have died in the wild, which may drive some already endangered species into extinction. Members of the Fellowship of Isis all over the world send their prayers to the people, animals and land of Australia. Aset Shemsu, the members of the Fellowship of Isis, continue to invoke the deities of the land for healing, protection and rebirth. Evohe Isis!
