The
Fellowship of Isis, headquartered in Clonegal Castle, Ireland, was founded
in the mid-1970's by Lady Olivia Durdin-Robertson, her late brother, Lawrence
Durdin-Robertson and his wife Pamela. Currently, FOI has hundreds of centers
and tens of thousands of solitary members across five continents hailing
from all walks of life with their common bond being their desire to worship and raise
consciousness of the Goddess.

In the 70's when FOI began, other leaders were raising the consciousness of Goddess Spirituality and it's no coincidence that during this cusp between the Age of Pisces and the Age of Aquarious these groups sprang up. They help guide us through the transition of the Ages to a time of more enlightment and spirituality.

Lady Olivia believes that the Goddess Isis is manifesting physically and spiritually during this time of transition as the feminine expression of Divinity we so need. Millions everywhere are hearing Her call as they turn back to the Old Ways. Without such change the devastating effect patriarchy has had on the Earth - ecologically, spiritually and technologically - will lead to catastrophe. The Divine Plan of the Goddess is to restore harmony, a love for nature and each other so that healthy, abundant life can be nurtured and enjoyed.

The ISEUM OF ISIS NAVIGATUM is a chartered arm or "hearth of the goddess" within the worldwide Fellowship of Isis raising Goddess consciousness through organizing rituals and sacred journeys where like minded people can join together in sacred space at Her sacred sites. The work of this Iseum is also writing and publishing stories of the Goddess to acquaint the mainstream public with Her empowering spirituality, organizing events and classes and working where needed in partnership within the community to further Her Rebirth. One such annual event, the cornerstone ritual of the Iseum of Isis Navigatum, held every March, is the Isidis Navigium. The picture below is the Isis Temple of Thanksgiving, the sacred space belonging to those in the Isis Navigatum Iseum.
Other Iseums and Lyceums within the Fellowship of Isis are doing Her work in their own communities on their own paths.
Though the Fellowship of Isis honors all Goddesses, why does Lady Olivia primarily resonate with ISIS? In her own words, Lady Olivia feels "Isis is the universal Goddess - the Isis of Ten Thousand Names. She includes them all....Demeter, Lakshmi, Kwan Yin, Dana, Ngame, Mary." To Lady Olivia, Mary of the Christian religion was Isis. Christ was both Osirus and then Horus after Osirus' ressurection. Also, Isis and Mary gave birth not through man, but through God.

HAIL ISIS
Hail Isis, Magnificent One
Mother of all the domain
Goddess of 10,000 Names
Blessed Are You Among the Goddesses
Today I sing praise to Your Beloveds, Horus and Osius
Watch over Your priestess this day and help her to do Your Work
Allow her to learn and know more of You
Watch over our loved ones who need Your care.
Anubis, great guide and protector, light my path
Help me to know the wheat from the chaff
Guide me to flow with life's synchronicities so that
I may know my destiny.
ISIS, may the white light of Your wings embrace me always.
