Ordinations and Initiations

FOI Co-Founder Olivia Robertson has sent a wonderful account of how she and her brother Lawrence prepared candidates for ordination and initiation. It begins: "A Priestess of Isis here in Avalon, Celia, asked me how my brother and I prepared candidates for Ordination and other Initiations.

Our essential aim for any Candidate was to receive direct revelation of the real existence of the Goddess. This we achieved through the Candidate developing psychic and spiritual awakening through trance experience and dream interpretation. ..."

It's a beautiful message. You can read the whole text on Olivia Robertson's Online Log

From Olivia Robertson

Received July 25, 2011

I am so happy that my niece Cressida Pryor is my successor in the spiritual and ethical work of the Fellowship of Isis. We need one single centre for registration of membership and centres (Lyceums, Iseums, Priories and Groves) which should be Clonegal Castle. Cressida has offered to be the custodian. Members may register with her and must sign that they agree to the Manifesto. No member has the right to control another. There are no subscription fees, membership will always continue to be free. I feel my brother is with me as the Fellowship of Isis goes back to basics. Cressida is the niece of my brother Lawrence Durdin-Robertson and Pamela Durdin-Robertson.

Olivia Robertson.

From Cressida Pryor: "Registration to the Fellowship of Isis, and registration of centres may be made via my email. All must agree to the Manifesto. Please put ‘FOI’ in the title bar of any emails. "

From Caroline Wise: "This makes perfect sense. I am so delighted to see the Fellowship of Isis go back to basics."

From Linda Iles: "Fellowship of Isis Central Site: I think this is marvellous for the Fellowship of Isis and I support this wholeheartedly."

This announcement and accompanying photo is available on Olivia Robertson's Online Log on Fellowship of Isis Central.
