Happy Anniversary Fellowship of Isis!


The Fellowship of Isis was founded on the Vernal Equinox of March 20th, 1976 by Olivia Robertson, her brother Lawrence, and his wife Pamela Durdin-Robertson. Please join us in remembrance and celebration on this 50th anniversary!

In honor of this day, we have added many new audio clips to our YouTube channel - links and more information below.


There are 12 new audio files of Olivia's "Reflections."  We will highlight each of them throughout the year, but they are all currently available on our YouTube channel. At the moment, they are the first 12 videos on this playlist:

 Also, Olivia Robertson speaks about her Vocation here: 

 Listen on YouTube

"It was direct Spiritual Experience, as with my brother, that I had a direct spiritual Vocation to do this from God. The Feminine aspect of God - God who is also feminine - to emphasize this, because the world is threatened by destruction, through pollution, through misuse of nature, often through stupidity and greed.  We're destroying the planet.  And the Divine Plan appears to be to emphasize the Feminine:  charity, kindness, care for Nature, nurturing, motherhood - all that side.  Not to get rid of the male aspect, but to balance male aggression and materialism, and this linear, logical, mental thought - always analysis, analysis.  We're more for healing and synthesis."

Lawrence Durdin-Robertson speaks on the Panathenaea in a past rite: 

Listen on YouTube

"Friends, we are here assembled to celebrate the ancient Athenian Festival of the Panathenaea. The singer Orpheus instituted the Athenaea in honour of Pallas Athena, Goddess of Power, Wisdom and the Arts. At this time of the Vernal Equinox of equal days and nights, when the sun leaves the tied fishes for the ram, Athenians and foreign visitors formed a joyful procession. They climbed the hill of the Acropolis and brought to the Parthenon the peplum of Athena."

There are two audio files in honor of Pamela Durdin-Robertson. The first is Olivia speaking about Pamela's message from an owl: 

 Listen on YouTube

"When you achieve Faery clairvoyance, this includes animals and birds.  And in this dimension they can talk.  My sister-in-law Pamela, came into my bedroom early one morning, went over to the window, drew the curtains and said she had just received a visit from an owl - came right through to her window.  

I said laughingly,  'Oh, I suppose he had a message, indeed?'

'Oh yes,' she replied.  'He told me what's going to happen today.'

'This was private information - it happened'!"

 The second audio is Olivia remembering Pamela during a past rite: 

 Listen on YouTube

"I will remember my dear sister-in-law, wife to my brother Lawrence, Pamela, usually known as Poppy.  Her dog Carpet has been with us all during this ceremony, a dachshund.  We welcome animals, birds, in our outdoor ceremonies - we regard all life as sacred."
