Ordination of Priestesses and Priests: of the Fellowship of Isis
(The Ordination ritual of the Fellowship of Isis. From the...)
The Ordination ritual of the Fellowship of Isis. From the Introduction: "The seed of Divinity lies within all beings. Consciousness of this truth brings willing participation in the Divine Plan. It is to become son and daughter of the Deity whose work one undertakes, rather than an unconscious tool serving through faith and hope. Every human being is potentially of the Priesthood. Conscious acceptance of this, and willingness to serve the cause of Deity makes your active Priest and Priestess. . .Yet what does the Priestess rule? Not men, nor races. She rules the striving elements of her own being, and through understanding the law of transmutation, creates harmony of mind, heart and body. So may she teach others that which she can do herself."

From the back cover: "In this book, Olivia Robertson, co-founder of the Fellowship of Isis, vividly describes her adventures in the occult and mystical fields. She worked for many years with groups in South Ireland and London, and specialized in guided meditations. First published in 1975, this is an original account that begins with the experiments of a few friends and develops into a variety of experiences involving artists, musicians, dancers, craftsmen and writers, inspired by the divinity within Nature Herself. The Call of Isis is divided into three sections: 'The Temple of the Moon' explores psychic development and the control of emotions ; 'The Temple of the Sun' introduces using vital force for healing and creativity, and 'The Temple of the Stars' deals with mystical experiences and the safe development of cosmic consciousness." (Original 1975 edition, with illustrations added by the author.) FOI Foundation Center authorized publication.
