Winter Solstice Blessings!

 

"Now, at this holy time, Winter Solstice, the sun appears at its lowest in the sky, and star shrine forth in splendor; we call upon the Mother of All to bring forth from the dark winter a bright abundance, as life is renewed and the sun strengthens on its course." ~ Olivia Robertson "Prayer for the Winter Solstice"

Lunar Eclipse (evening of November 18 - early morning of November 19)

 

“It was on the shores of Brittany Raymond de Forez, first chief of the house of Lusignan, encountered the beautiful faery Mélusine, whom he wed. Her image can be seen in the old church at Fougéres (Ille-et-Vilaine) shown combing her long hair, holding a mirror. Their descendants are both faerie and mortal. Those who carry the blood of the fey and others blessed by creative vision unite earth with the Blessed Land through the visual arts, dance, music and poetry. The sign of the eclipse of the moon assures the rising of the Blessed Isle. We, as children of the Goddess can bring the joys of the Many-Coloured Land into reality.” ~ Olivia Robertson, private letter

 

Note: The Lunar Eclipse begins at 11:00pm (PST) Thursday Night (November 18). Maximum eclipse will occur Friday Morning at 1:03 am (PST) (November 19). During maximum eclipse (1:03 am PST, 3:03 am CST) only a sliver at the bottom of the Moon will be lit by the Sun. The Moon should appear almost totally eclipsed, becoming orange, red, or dark gray due to sunlight refracted by the Earth’s atmosphere just as our sky looks red just after sunset.

Happy Solstice!

 

Happy Summer Solstice! "The teaming summer has come, bringing life in its arms, and strews rosy flowers on the face of hill and dale. In lovely harmony the wood has put on its green mantle, and summer is on her throne, playing her string music. The willow whose harp hung silently when it was withered in winter, now gives forth melody - Hush! Listen! The world is alive." ~ from "Summer. Ritual of the Sun" in "Dea, Rites and Mysteries of the Goddess" FOI co-founder by Olivia Robertson

Blessed Beltane!

 

May You Have a Blessed Beltane! “My Tuathe De Danann came from the sky, yet also dwell within the hidden sun at earth’s matrix. The Golden Age shines about you, resplendent in the matriarchal darkness. Naught is alien when all is known and loved. You are kin to all beings in the cosmos and all are kin to Me." ~ Excerpt from ‘Oracle of the Goddess Dana’ in “The Rite of Dana. Druid Initiation” by Olivia Robertson.

Oracle of the Season: Beltane 2021

 

Aiden:  “I invoke the aid of the Goddess Maya, through Her veiled Priestess. Holy Maya, You appear across the sky as a copper-coloured Sun. Your children are lost to Divinity. Help us to restore your Faith in this Your Land.”

ORACLE OF THE GODDESS MAYA

“Do not despair!  In My Thirteen Heavens, humans are courageously facing the passing of the fourth sphere of emotional control to the fifth sphere of the consciousness of passions. There are many races who attain initiation easily, as they have never endured the ordeal of physical incarnations, through the labyrinth of space and time. Those in solar bodies are glorious as Gods and Goddesses. But you, the suffering ones, only regain your true Being, Divinity, through ordeals. Trials seem cruel, but know that the Mothers and Fathers Who have given you birth have put you to school in planetary evolution.  And though you endure unspeakable pain, you win a wonder unknown even to Deities.  You have found your true Originality peculiar to each one of you!  Without a single soul, the peacock-starry sky would be incomplete. 

The Plumed Serpent of Divine Energy rises slowly within each of you, and when you win back your Birthright, you have no spectacular Fall!  Those spirits who fly too high have to return to Mother Earth in shame. You deal with humiliation, guilt, evil passions daily, not as the leaping jaguar, but rather have a sure slow progress, like a quiet cat who has learnt to rest before a hearth fire!”

Aiden:  “We give thanks for the heartening Oracle of the Goddess Maya as she opens Her great dark eyes and smiles!”

Blessings of the Sun in Taurus

Blessings of the Sun in Taurus! “My loves are many … My white milk nourishes all creatures, for this milk is the nectar of the Deities ... Rightly am I adored as the Cow Goddess, … though the Goddess presides over the constellation of Taurus, it is the God Serapis with His red eye Who watches the just and the unjust; and Who rewards the virtuous ...” ~ Excerpt: ‘Oracle of the Goddess Isis’ from “Mystical Awakening of Taurus and Isis” by Olivia Robertson.

Truth and Ethics

 

“Both of us need encouragement - it isn't pleasant when we have to make a stand against wrongdoing but we are useless if we don't! It’s tough standing up for the truth as we both know – but we are spineless if weak! Too often the ‘Goddess’ and priestesses have been dragged in the mud, including names of cats -all feminine manifestations! It is the will of Isis strengthening me to honor her with underlining emphasis on the ethical reality underlining her Fellowship. And to do this we priestesses need the support and power of the true men dedicated to the Divine goddess and sacred God. The Eye of Horus balances the Uatchat Eye which is ignored too much.” ~ Olivia Robertson, FOI co-founder

 

Fellowship of Isis Central and the FOI Union Triad will always stand for truth and ethics within the Fellowship of Isis to the best of our ability.
