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

And finally, here are links to two historical videos by Raidió Teilifís Eireann.

Blessings of the Sun in Gemini! From the FOI Liturgy book "Fortuna, Creation through the Goddess":
"We visualise ourselves standing in long grass under trees. Before us is a hill, its summit wreathed in mist. Rising above the summit is the Temple of the Zodiac. We climb up the hill. The Temple rises above us, surrounded by constellations. We reach the South Gate, flanked by 2 female and male sphinxes, their wings reaching the stars. We enter. In the centre of the Temple we see the Altar of the everlasting Vestal flame, surrounded by 4 Kerubim, the bull, the lion, the eagle and the angel. The Temple has 12 windows with stained-glass pictures of the signs of the Zodiac. We cross the alabaster floor and reach the window of Gemini. The picture shows a young man and woman embracing each other, their wings reaching upwards to 2 stars. They head a spiral procession of twins winding like a serpent through indigo space. Suddenly a wind blows open the window and we see the constellation of Gemini."
