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.
