After being out of print for more than six years and with prices for that out-of-print first edition rising to $400 or more, Isis Magic is back in a revised and expanded 10^th anniversary edition.

Writer Normandi Elliis, author of Awakening Osiris and Dreams of Isis, says of this new edition, “I am thrilled that this pivotal book is being reissued. Whether you know Her well, or whether She has called you to know her more intimately, this book will bring you closer to Isis as an embodiment of the eternal presence of mystery, healing and love. This book is indeed Isis Magic at its best.”  (To see more reviews of Isis Magic, please visit www.abiegnushouse.com/reviews)

Isis Magic has served as a resource and inspiration for a wide range of people. Historical novelist Stephanie Dray used it to research the religion of Isis for her three-novel series on the life of Cleopatra’s daughter, Cleopatra Selene. Importantly, it has been a valuable guide for the thousands of women and men who have used it to create or deepen their personal relationship with one of the most well-known and well-loved Goddesses of all time, the Egyptian Goddess Isis.

Isis Magic begins with a well-researched and in-depth history of the nature and worship of Isis from Her ancient Egyptian origins to the modern day. In this first part of the book, readers discover the many faces of Isis, from Ancient Bird of Prey Goddess and Lady of Magic to Queen of the Mysteries, Savior, and Mistress of Hermetic Wisdom. Readers will learn how Isis later became disguised as a Black Madonna, a historical Queen of Egypt, and even as an Alchemical Principle—as well as how Her true identity as a Goddess was retained in the inner teachings of some secret societies. Finally, readers follow Isis into the 20^th and 21^st centuries as Her undisguised worship is revived, first by colorful personalities like Dion Fortune and influential groups such as the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, and today by worldwide associations like the Fellowship of Isis.

The book’s second half applies this knowledge to a four-part spiritual journey to the heart of the Goddess. With each step, the reader enters a successively deeper stage of relationship with Isis. By participating in exercises, meditations, and powerful, beautifully written rituals, readers can initiate themselves into the magical religion of Isis and become, if they so desire, Her dedicated priestess or priest.

The 10^th anniversary edition includes a variety of new rituals—including new initiatory rites and a same-sex wedding ceremony—as well as new meditations, illustrations, and photographs.

Written by M. Isidora Forrest, an ordained Priestess of Isis and Hermetic Adept, Isis Magic brings the worship of Isis to life. It is the perfect resource to aid the individual seeker, to inspire a circle, coven, or Iseum, or to serve as a program of spiritual growth and personal development for those called by Isis to be Her priestesses and priests.

Isis Magic is available via the publisher’s website, www.abiegnushouse.com for $29.95 (the same price as the original edition of more than 10 years ago). Other retail outlets are also being investigated.

Begin with a private meditation in the small Isis Chapel or on the grounds under the 500+ year old Douglas Fir tree. At the Grand Temple we will gather at 2 PM to partake of the program of the day, which could take many forms -- video, song, dance, readings -- all selected for its pertinence to our topic. This will be followed by a sharing of ideas. We will gather in the Pavilion for tea at 4 PM. Our Sunday temple program is designed to teach subjects such as: ecology, science, archeology and other subjects that promise to enrich and enhance our lives.

Our Lady’s Prayer Circle, founded by Prs. H. Diveena and late Prs. H. Barbara Lee Westlake. The 13th of every month. The circle was founded on Winter Solstice December 2005 through a vision quest on Mount Shasta. Diveena and Barbara Lee Westlake initiated this circle on the 13th day beginning January 2006 to honor the Goddess and to acknowledgment her power on the 13th day of the month. This was incited by the apparitions that took place in Fatima Portugal that progressed for a year in which all the visitations occurred on the 13th day of the month with recorded healings and miracles. Since January 13, 2005 many others have joined us to hold and help create the energy of healing and miracles of love.

Iseums and Lyceums – College of Isis

From Caroline Wise: “On Friday May 10th London 'Iseum of 10000 Names', facilitated by Christine Rhone, enacted The Mystical Awakening of Taurus, with a spontaneous Oracle of Isis. This potent rite connects Isis to Taurus which makes perfect sense as she wears the horned headdress and in the Mystery Schools, Serapis her consort takes the form of the Starry Bull. Carol Lewis  led the ceremony.” The rite was open to any member who wished to attune. The ceremony started at 7.30 GMT.

The Uta-Ha FOI Study Circle of the Great Salt Lake (Lyceum of Isis of Utah) attuned with other FOI members worldwide to the "Rite of Rebirth." Kasey Conder, Pr. H., writes: “Studying, meditating, exemplifying, trying to unravel the ancient goddess mystery on many personal, mythic, symbolic, allegorical, cosmic and nature levels in the many phases of consciousness. I know the rite can have a strong note to play within the string of natural laws. And yes, as always, greater consciousness of the Goddess can always be challenging but rewarding in cyclic nature of things. Blessings of Isis & Morrigan. https://sites.google.com/site/fellowshipofisisliturgy/rite-of-rebirth---introduction

Sarah Rooke: I am pleased to report that Nicole Sakarra of Portsmouth has gained her first magi degree of Leo and Sekhmet in the College of Isis, Fellowship of Isis.

I give her report below for Isian News

‘Leo and Sekhmet – Nicole Sakarra

As I went into the meditation, I felt a deep sense of being safe and secure, almost like I was a baby Hawk being nurtured and fed with knowledge, so that I can grow and fly the nest.  I was also very aware of an unknown presence or presences, although I did not know what or who it was I was not scared and I felt comforted by it.

I could feel my vibration lifting higher and higher, until I was encased in a merkabah type chariot, which carried me into Egypt into the temple at Thebes and then I was guided around the beautiful stars and constellations.  I had an overwhelming sense of connection and felt that knowledge that was once lost, has now been found and can be used for the higher good.

The Hawk kept appearing and the words “seeing is believing” kept popping into my mind; I had a strong message which was very clear that I need to learn sign language.

As I listened to the chanting, I could visualise a deep violet colour which changed to an almost lilac / white colour as the tones changed, in the middle I could see a golden ring which was spinning to the same vibration. The numbers 7, 44 & 77 kept coming into my mind, were they the frequencies used in the initiation chamber at Giza? Or perhaps healing frequencies? I’m not sure, but I do strongly feel that they are significant.

In the dancing part, I visualised a beautiful couple dancing gracefully, it was like watching a very old silent movie from the 20’s, she had a petal pink silk flowing dress with red hair dressed with a single large red rose and her partner was dressed in an old style smart suit. Watching them dance made me smile and glow with happiness, the more I watched them, their faces became clear, they were my grandparents Brigid and Felix McStravick. I now know as I re-connect to my past, i do not need to re-live the experience, I can carry forward the wisdom and live joyously in the future with the guidance of my grandmother Brigid.

The Hawk appeared again, but this time I saw it transform into the most amazing fiery Phoenix! The words “Burning transformation” were etched into my mind, reminding me of the power of the fire element and how it can transform people’s lives through spinning fire. I must keep the flame alive!

The presence I felt at the beginning of the meditation was indeed Sekhmet, but it wasn't clear to me until the end of the meditation when I received the message of "Burning transformation", then I felt an overwhelming fire within me and i clearly saw her image. I’m not quite sure how to explain it, but I felt like she had changed me somehow, it’s hard to put into words. In my Merkabah experience, I travelled through time and space to the constellation of Leo, it felt like I was a multi-dimensional being, the experience was quite breath taking and again quite hard to put into words, wish I could explain it more clearly.

I was delighted when I found out you were a Priestess of Sekhmet I have had an affinity with the Goddess Sekhmet,  for many years and been naturally drawn towards her, so it feels like a great honour to do this degree, thank you so much I feel truly blessed.”

Rev. Antonia Newlands of Glasgow has gained her fifth magi degree of Earth Magic in the College of Isis, Fellowship of Isis.

I give her report below for Isian News:

“The red tree of life within us glistens as our blood moves around our bodies.  The iron in the centre of the earth moves the earth’s magnetic field around the earth, the eternal flow of energy through the planet from north to south.  The iron in our blood responds to this and as we move within our bodies, both flesh and spirit are intrinsically in harmony with the psychic earth. Our emotions can be the vessel between our souls and our body so be mindful that emotions can block our connection with the earth.

The stone walls of the temple open with lights and become dolmens interlaced with trees, beyond stretches a pathway, leading from the veil to deep within the Otherworld.  Ma'at the Initiator stands at the start of the path, offering sustenance and reminding us that this is a journey we make willingly, empowered by our free will.

I see myself as a blackened dying tree to the north west of the circle of trees and stones.  I ask to receive the blessings of the earth.  The elements, air, fire, water and the ether flow from the east, south, west and north through my roots.  At the apex of their cross, the earth light flows from beneath, removing all blocks nourishing the tree.  The earthly facade drops the branches and leaves and i become the tree of life.  A meteorite flows into my heart and floods my being with light. 

As the butterflies emerge, my tree of life is filled with indigo and purple light.  I stand in the light and honour the Earth Mother, she who is an intrinsic part of me, and all the animals which live in unity.

I see the nymphs of the water join with the shepherd of the land and this gives rise to the song which flows around the earth.

As Babh appears I become part of the green hills and the rivers which run between them.  She shows me that the lodestone of sovereignty for me is the earth itself and bade me sit on ground.

I see Macha’s shining sword and it penetrates the earth, creating blessing with their union. I see the sword as running through me connecting me to the psychic earth grid, connecting the land beneath my house to the psychic earth grid and happening symbolically in the Otherworld.

I could see images of both the four pointed and eight pointed star.  I was contented with my nourishment in tree form and did not feel drawn to eating any of the food in the banquet.”

I am delighted to announce that Les Hooper has gained his first magi degree of Moon Magic in the College of Isis, Fellowship of Isis

I give his report below for Isian News:

“From the moment I dressed my altar and prepared myself for the invocation, I felt a great closeness to the Triple Goddess, as if I had made a special connection.  As I travelled to the Land of Tara and into the Grove of Diana, I felt as if I had come home.  I felt at one with my past, the present moment and the future.

As the grove performed the ritual, the words became a blur and I only heard the names of each goddess in turn, while feeling a very special connection with Hecate, the Dark Mother, as if she had a special plan and was directing my way forward into the future.  I feel she has always been there directing the different stages of my life, the visions that she has opened up for me are sometimes overwhelming and I have to step back to receive and understand these messages.

Being a traveller myself, I felt more connected with the Dark Mother Hecate of the Crossroads, where all paths meet and all things are reconciled.  I felt the gift of intuition and looked within the Dark Mother’s reflecting mirror and as we travelled onward, I fell into the silence of meditation.   There was an overwhelming serenity, a connection to plants, animals and humans alike, as if we were all equal, as brothers and sisters.

As the ritual continued, I kept experiencing the Dark Mother speak and understood every word she said.  While the universe unfolds before me, this initiation into the FOLI has many hidden messages and I finally feel I have a few answers to the questions I have been asking and look forward to the path opening up before me.   I give thanks to all aspects of the Triple Goddess and bow before her.”

Tarnia Spaven has gained her first magi degree of Sun Magic (Solar Life Force) in the College of Isis, Fellowship of Isis

I give her report below for Isian News:

“This is my first magi degree and when standing by the ancient well, when my forehead was anointed with water I felt myself light up and my aura expand away from my body.

Moving with everyone down the yew avenue and through the red door I felt comfortable and at ease but excited with anticipation.

The Oracle of Kundalini spoke and what she had to say hit a chord within me.  I too will only do as I will and not by the will of others.  I got down on my knees and kissed the earth and felt at one with my connection.

When the planets were invoked I became tingly all over when Mercury, the winged one, was speaking.

I felt at peace when Isis-Ra was chanted and the singing bowls created a buzzing inside me, especially the deeper of the tones.  I saw the colours red, orange and yellow intermingling and swirling around me.  When the chanting started again I saw a serpent rising out of the singing bowl and turn toward me before disappearing into a gaseous smoke.  I prefer the lower tones of the singing bowls they made me feel more comfortable than the higher octaves.

I started to chant in my head along with everyone else and saw all our auras rise as one above us and swirl like white smoke to dissipate into the air and universe.

The arising of the Sun Goddess, Amaterasu, brought tears to my eyes, I felt very emotional and could feel a vibration deep in my chest.  I feel so much lighter and she was so beautiful.

With the spiral dance, a cone of energy was formed above our heads.  Spiralling white light arose from the centre of the circle and in the middle was a bright six pointed star.  It spiralled to the heavens emanating the brightest of white lights.

I feel very much connected to Kundalini and everything that touches my aura and energy.

What surprises me about Sun Magic is how many spirals I saw all moving from the Earth to the Universe making me feel even more connected to the planets and stars than before.  Also I have had with me all afternoon and evening a bright glow in my solar plexus.

This has been a very powerful experience for me.”

Rev. Gaynor Linnecor of the Iseum of Universal Learning, Havant, UK, has gained her fourth magi degree of Sun Magic (Solar Life Force) in the College of Isis, Fellowship of Isis.

I give her report below for Isian News:

“As I contemplate and invoke relaxation as the sun Magus, the Sun is making short appearances at the end of the winter and beginning to herald the warmth of the spring and summer times to come; even though this year, it’s a late arrival. I began my meditation and it was a bit of a dull day and as I began listening to the tape the Sun burst in through my window like a messenger with an urgent message

My altar/heart & hearth was dusted down decorated with daffodils and Ivy. I added a bowl of burning frankincense & myrrh. I placed 7 candles and some chalice well water up on Hearth and Heart. I felt grounded and ready to facilitate and invoke the magic of the sun.

As my Altar was now ready, I bathed in a fragrant ritual bath listening to relaxing music as I tuned into myself, Mine own core identity. I was happy again to hear my ever growing dear friend Olivia ready and waiting to guide me. I call the bath my office as it’s the only place right now in the big scheme of things that I am getting complete and relaxed, me time.

Upon returning to my altar I sat before a wood fire burning. As I got myself into a comfortable position, I relaxed and felt the presence of the sun and universal deities already

After anointing my brow a lovely relaxed feeling came over me. Remarkably as I began, the Goddess Kundalini was at the foot of my fire place, she looked curvy and shiny much like a snake does when it is in full health. I begin to tune further into my instinct, invoking the times of Scorpio where I felt a deep emotional, animal and base chakra sense of reality. I meditated further and upon a tingly feeling in my base chakra, felt the ocean waving over me. I could see a flame in the south east glowing and lighting up shimmering’s of two rivers coming from the ocean, as my senses tingled I knew the Goddess Kundalini was protecting me and ushering me forward.

I came to a place where red trees and 7 hills were obvious in my view and on contemplating the hills, I understood them like they were chakra temples. As I relaxed further a brightly shining temple of gold and silver appeared sat between the two rivers. I moved towards the warm autumn sun rise glow that was surrounding me and my view..

The Goddess Ama-terasu radiantly glowing, let herself be known to me and surrounded by silver and gold flames, asked me to open myself up to healing. She embraced me and whispered the healing fires will bring new energy and new life to my world. I took a deep breath and found myself in garden where a small snake slithered around the back of me, catching my attention it spiralled up my body and sat upon my shoulder. It was an intense feeling, as I began allowing the essence of its coiling energy to fold its way around me and within me. Kundalini work is not something I have been working with for many years. This powerful serpentine energy circled around me and began to emanate from within me in a very friendly and gentle fashion. I was happy to integrate the serpent energy into my esoteric existence

As I journey on and the 7 planets all represented by beautiful silver and gold’s seemed to leave their imprint within me. A strong windy breeze carried me and as I landed on  tiptoe like a ballet dancer, I moved from planet to planet. A dream I have had often all of my life. I felt at home. I felt comfortable and known by all the practitioners, magicians, priests and priestesses. They smiled and blessed me as my journey continued

As with Kundalini energy, I am used to its intensity and the coiling became tighter but reassuring. I felt loved, held, empowered and protected. As the magus, I invited the Goddesses, priests and priestesses to sit with for a short while. This felt distinctly like I was sat with myself. The Sun bursts through the window of my living area and I felt blessed and enlightened.

I came to my feet I addressed my Altar and lighting each one of the seven candles, I offered my respect to the cosmos and the planets within it. The candles blew raggedly at first and then soon settled into seven bright burning flames, all though dimming to allow the spring sun to shine through the window, like it was calling me outside.

I stepped out into my garden, as I felt the calling and continued to meditate. I was enveloped in a bright yellow, like I had never seen before and even began to wonder if my neighbours could see it..

As I began to draw to a close by grounding in my garden, I dug my hands into the soil beneath and the light got brighter as though to say yes yes stay grounded. As above, so it be below. What is in the Heaven it be in your life. The Sun Goddess was loving me and I her, I was finding self-love in the coiling and warm energy of  Sun Magi and merging with the energy of the Sun Gods and Goddesses, priests and priestesses loved everyone and everything else.”

Rev. Nicole Sakarra of Portsmouth, Hants, UK, has been ordained as a Priestess of Sekhmet, Brighid and Artemis in the Fellowship of Isis.

Reports from ArchDruidess Sarah Rooke of Grove of Cerridwen and the Grail, Portsmouth, UK:

Antonia Newlands gaining her initiation into the Druid Clan of Dana as a Druidess.

Sarah writes: I am pleased to report that Nicole Sakarra of Portsmouth has been initiated as a Druidess in the Druid Clan of Dana. Here is her report:

“As I went deep into the meditation I could feel a healing electrical energy running through my hands, this beautiful energy radiated throughout my body, lighting up my aura and it filled my soul with love and light. This prepared me to face the ordeal of Dana, with her help I can immerse myself fully into the light and I can bring my healing gifts to those that need and want it. 

Who are my soul friends? I choose:

Stone: Malachite which is a powerful emotional cleanser helping to remove past traumas, and negative emotions, to bring harmony into my life.

Plant: Lavender which has a soothing and calming effect on the nerves and can ease the stress on my mind.

Tree: Apple Tree which has long been regarded as the possessor of healing and magical qualities, the symbol of beauty and fruitfulness.

Insect: Bee which has shown me that where there is dance there is nectar. Dance is a universal language which has no boundaries.

Sea Dweller: Dolphin for its maternal, caring, protective and sensitive nature which flows through me.

Reptile: Chameleons can detect sound frequencies between 200–600 Hz and can see in both visible and ultraviolet light. It has been proven in Chameleons that ultraviolet light has a positive effect on the pineal gland. More sunshine please!!

Bird: Phoenix representing the sun which dies each night and is reborn each morning. The Phoenix always rises from its own ashes!

Animal: Lioness  “The mere size of the brain has been proved to be no measure of superiority. The woman has greater moral courage than the man; she has also special gifts which enable her to govern in moments of danger and crisis. If necessary she can become a warrior.” ‘Abdu’l-Bahá in London, UK Bahá’í Publishing Trust, 1982 reprint, pg. 172. The qualities of a lioness:

Star: Sirius as a reminder to be the brightest star in the sky and heralding a hot and dry summer.

I invoke the Goddess of Dana and I feel embraced and touched by her love and comforted by her presence.

The Labyrinth reveals to me the hidden fire which helps me to prepare for the second ordeal of Morrigan the black crow, the goddess of war, death and passionate love.  I feel empowered by her presence and I can feel her strength within me and I seek her prophetic gifts for which I give thanks.

The last ordeal is with the Triple Goddess Brigid, the Celtic goddess of fire (the forge and the hearth), poetry, healing, childbirth, and unity. I feel so inspired by her and with her help I am willing to learn all I can from her.”

Rev. Deborah Jayne Heaton-King also founded a Grove in the Druid Clan of Dana called Cerridwen and Taliesin, based in Bedhampton, Hants.

I am delighted to announce that Les Hooper has become initiated as a Druid in the Druid Clan of Dana by undertaking the Rite of Dana.

I give his report below for Isian News:

“As I visualise myself in the land of destiny, I follow the light into the valley, where there is a magnificent castle.  Here the Rite of Dana is explained to me.  All the history and meaning that is involved in living a daily Druid life.

1st trial – Morrigan

I was asked to undergo three trials and I agreed and was led on my first trail into the realms of the Sidhe and the Morrigan.

As I was led through the archway, a tall thin figure appeared, elegant and spoke in a language I had never heard before, but strangely enough what he said made perfect sense,  He told me that he was my guide in the land of the Sidhe and in time everything will come together and make sense to me.   I thanked him and he left.

2nd trial – Dana

As I entered Dana’s labyrinth, initially I felt lost.  It was at this moment that my guide appeared and began to explain, as we headed for the centre of the maze. 

Each path that we undertake to travel defines our lives, and if I follow the maze of Dana, it will lead me to where I need to go.  As we walked, the labyrinth became a straight pathway to the centre.

3rd trial – Brighid

As I faced the third ordeal, I was calm and was led by my guide to a holy well, surrounded by blooming hawthorn and parts of the entrance was in the shadows of a stand of hazel.

As the Goddess appeared, she spoke and told me that with the help of my guide, I will be shown all manner of intuition, prophecy and healing.  I was also told that all of nature is connected and if I ask the help of any of my brothers and sisters of the animal world, I will be given help of any of our cousins the trees and herbs, they will help me

And finally, I was told that all rocks and stones are also there to help me on my path of healing and empowerment. As she left, she gave me a red shining stone, a ruby, and was told this is my healing stone and to use it well.

I gave thanks and said goodbye to the Goddess.  As I returned to the now, I could hear the most wonderful music and danced my way home.  I said farewell to my guide and gave thanks.”

Report from Sarah Rooke, Dame Commander, Priory of Cerridwen and the Grail, Portsmouth, UK: “I am pleased to report that the Rev. Heather Charnley has been consecrated as a Dame Commander in the Noble Order of Tara.  Her new Priory is called Caer Drywen.

Solar Iseums of Alchemy

From Sarah Rooke, Solar Alchemist of Lyceum of Isis and Sekhmet of the Stars: “I am pleased to be able to announce that the Rev. Thomas J Brown II, of the Solar Iseum of Anu and Beli in Connell, Washington, USA, has gained his 5th magi degree of Sun Magic in the College of Isis, Fellowship of Isis. 

I give his report below for Isian News: 

“This ritual was performed at the Summer Solstice.   I prepared for the rite by ritually bathing and engaging in open meditation to attune the forces that are alive in the corporeal world/realm.  It should be noted that I performed this rite to meet the requirements of a 5th Degree Magi in the Fellowship of Isis. 

“This rite started very different from the last two rituals I had done.  For example, I called upon a different gatekeeper…So when the gates were opened and I called to the spirits of the ancestors, the land, and the gods there was a very different feel.

As part of the ‘Deities of the Occasion’, I invoked the sun gods and goddesses of the rite, recalling I would perform with the ‘Oracle of the Goddess Kundalini’.

I took an omen using the Ogham system and received Nin (connection) as the spiritual realm of the Ancestors, Idad (Memory) from the Nature Spirits and Edad (Vision) from the  Gods and Goddesses.  I interpreted this omen to mean, ‘The connection of the ancestors holds the memory of the land and provides vision of a greater purpose’. This was a good omen, since this rite focuses on drawing power from an inner fire. The prayer of offering and the blessing brought together energies as I attuned to the forces of the sun and planets. The actual rite was completed during the magical working section.  I read the ‘Oracle of the Goddess Kundalini and settled deeper into a trance like state with the help of my spirit animal, the boar, which brought me to the hawk to help me with this journey.  I became aware of my five senses of sight, touch, hearing, taste and smell and set out to do the work.  I worked through the seven holy planets and that was enlivened in each.

This work invoked caution so as not to get burned. To be prepared for the work, I further invoked a series of Divine Mothers who would guard my path from this day forth.  The working ties in with the virtues practiced by many sorcerers, but showed me that even the most skilled can get burned in the light.  With each invocation, the power seemed to rise and envelope my whole being. I felt the goddess place her hands, heart and shoulders and interlock with the rising power.  I placed my hands on my heart and then struck the ground twice with my fist.  I remained for a time in trance, feeling an inner glow, while contemplating the harmony of the spheres.   

I ended the rite in the usual manner and then re-read the ‘Allegory of the Cave’ by Plato.  I think inspiration was manifested in this rite and an oracle will be revealed with future work.”

Awakening the Sacred Python - The African Primordial Mother

by Ayele Kumari

Part I.

 

Isis ( Auset/ Esi)  depicted as the Serpent Mother

One of the most ancient forms of the divine feminine is undoubtedly as a snake. Part woman, part reptilian, this primordial goddess is laced into our humanity from our DNA code to our ecology.   Further still, it is linked to our cosmic origins and the mysteries of the universe itself. So primal and pervasive is this serpent mother that we can still find her reach as a symbol in modern medicine as well as in the bush rituals of indigenous Africa.  Some fear her, some reverie her, some seek out the mysteries of pleasure through her while others seek prophesy, power, or  immortality through her. While modern Christianity has made her evil, she is known worldwide as the essence of wisdom.

The journey to understand the serpent mother took me around the world as I uncovered more and more of her origins and nature of her energy.  The search led me to discover the vast amount of names that she may go by and also just how ancient she is.  I initially estimated her age to be at least 16,000 years old and dating back to the age of Scorpio. Every age had an avatar depicted through a new symbol. The age of Leo was depicted with the Lioness, Tefnut and Shekmet, the age of cancer, mermaids, the age of Taurus, the cow and bull, etc.  Scorpio is known for the snake and a large bird representing both ascension, transformation, and regeneration, all of which are the meanings behind the serpent mother. That said, it is very possible that the serpent mother has undergone several rebirths through the procession of the ages making it much older. Recent evidence has been found in South Africa of a carving on a mountain of a snake that is 70, 000 years old. With this in mind, the serpent mother is more likely to be more than 70,000 years old with Southern Africa as the home. This essay will cover the serpent goddess' primary African roots, Dravidian connection, and expression throughout the continent.

The methodology in which my research took was through the synchronism of common themes and names. Linguistic studies offered a new dimension to understand the concepts because many of the same concepts are often thought different because they are spelled or pronounced differently. It is often forgotten that the English language and alphabet is insufficient to accurately define and express ancient and primordial concepts and sounds. The best we have is someone's interpretation of the word and their guess as to how that sound might be spelled in English. To that end, I have found that many crossover letters occur in the translation. Hard G and K seem to be intertwined as ng and ny are as well. Wa and au along with vowel letters are all interchangeable. M and N are also commonly mixed. These cultures have ancient  oral traditions that came to be expressed in a variety of ways. It is noticed that they may show traces and similarities in one area while others evolving completely different in the oral tradition of another culture.

In Egypt

Isis is known throughout the world. She is known as goddess of a thousand names. One of her oldest form seems to be as a snake known as Watchet.   Simultaneously she is merged with another form as a vulture known as Nekhebet. When they are expressing human traits, they are depicted as 2 women who are twins known as Auset and Neb-het. While they are often depicted as separate deities, they are actually the same one.  Kemetian culture expressed duality as two faces of the same one or in the form of twins. To that end, goddesses were not seen as separate but different aspects of the same whole.  Over time, the names and pronunciations changed but the essence still remain.

These represent forces within us that underly our internal life force and power.   The representation as twins symbolizes our own duality. The Wachet aspect represented our solar aspect while Nekhebet represented our lunar aspect. The synchronization of the two sides produced clear sight symbolized by the right and left eye of the goddess. We see depictions of the eye on thousands of ancient Egyptian artifacts as well as on the dollar bill.  The eye, also called the all seeing eye, was a symbol of awakening that happens from raising this serpent energy to its full potential.

The awakening of this energy sight to express balance in all areas of life. This was built upon the goddess Maat. Maat was seen as truth but not just in relationship to facts. Truth for Maat was also about the ability to see objectively all sides and have a balanced view. Only in that way could one see truth clearly. Since the twins represent our own duality, resolving our duality or embracing our lights and shadows is essential to expressing wholeness.

Another form of the serpent goddess is expressed as Mehen, the ancient Kemetian cobra oracle. This oracle was expressed as a coiled snake with 28-36 sections. Each section represented something differently and was aligned with the spine.  The goal was to get to the center of the coil which was considered the source. Mehen is documented as about 5,000 years old.

…. To be continued in the upcoming Samhain issue for 2013.

The Art of Meditation

Listening When the Goddess Whispers 

with the Voice of the Heart

By Hamsa Devi

Rituals are beautiful; and in Western tradition there is nothing more colourful and inspiring than the Isian and Danaan mystery dramas and initiation rites. It is beautiful to go on a vision quest, protected by the wings of the Goddess and in the safety of a group, which grants concealment and loving trust for the individual.

In the rituals of the Isian / Danaan and Tara liturgy we always have the topic „visions are shared.”  And it may be inspiring to share visions and inspirations with all participants after returning from such a vision quest. But it is also said that „an ear of barley is reaped in silence.” And it is in silence, where we may experience the „Heart-beat of the Cosmos“..which „sets moving all heart-beats, even the tiny pulse within a blade of grass.”

In the very first rite of the Isian liturgy – Dedication of a Shrine to Isis – a beautiful silent meditation is offered:

“Here follows the silence. Devotee may sit before the altar and visualise a still pool of lilies. Above is a sky with the remaining stars of night. On the left is the rising sun, on the right the setting full moon. In front is the Star of Isis, Sirius. Behind is the Pole Star. The devotee experiences communion with the Goddess. After the silence the visualised scene is allowed to fade. Now the devotee sends forth healing.” This instruction for a silent meditation is one of the jewels of the Isian liturgy, beautifully inspired by the Goddess Herself, but seldom being paid the attention it so well had deserved.

This meditation, as any well learned silent meditation, practised on a daily base, is healing and helpful for the practioner in many ways: it intensifies and deepens all experiences which one may have made during the participation in the Mystery Dramas and other initiation rites on the spiral path of the Goddess as presented in the Isian / Danaan / Tara liturgy; it increases self healing energies, clairvoyance and lucid dreaming, and last not least such a practice increases your attentiveness for others as well as for your own true needs.

Silent meditation, practiced preferably each day at the same time, starting with ten, and increasing bit by bit the length to twenty minutes helps to realize a kind of Goddess-Oneness-Consciousness, which cannot be described, but only experienced by those, who have the courage to question old viewpoints, dare paradicmatic changes and are prepared to experience metamorphosis of the self in an intensity for which the picture of the caterpillar changing into a butterfly is a most fitting symbol.

Books full of instructions for meditation fill whole libraries. And many students of Western Paths think, that meditation would be something very complicated and one would need to sit cross legged on the floor and chant strange syllables. And yes, spiritual paths offer all these practices for those, who like to sit cross legged and chant syllables.

But whatever your practice may be – walking the Path of the Goddess means to aspire after the development of loving compassion for all sentient beings and the realization of what I call “Goddess-Oneness-consciousness”.

“When worldly cares veil true vision, the passions clog the bright Fireblood that courses through the spiritual body, when evil emotions of anger, envy and jealousy corrode the soul, then not even the present is noticed or enjoyed! Life for the dulled soul imprisoned in foolish preoccupations and unhealthy feelings is no life but rather an existence, that flees by in passing time; yet to the depleted soul it is a long drawn-out waste land of boredom, excited only by transient stimulation. Thus a whole life-time may be wasted by those with eyes that cannot see, ears that cannot hear, and a spiritual will unused.”

The struggling Ego may wish leading us to think that meditation is very difficult or even too simple for us spiritually advanced individuals. Indeed the idea of loss of Ego automatically going together with loss of personality is one of the most widespread misunderstandings of Eastern concepts in the West. It is true that we may loose our personality in that sense, that we loose wrong ideas about our personality, such giving room to the realization of our true, divine Self, as a caterpillar looses his wormlike shape and leaves it’s cocoon of imprisoning conceptions. Now the caterpillar is transformed into a beautiful butterfly, spreading it’s coloured wings in the sun.

One of the most valuable meditation instructions Ive ever heard had been given during a Buddhist lecture, when the lama has been asked by a practioner, how one may calm one’s wandering thoughts:

“Relax, open the cage and let the bird fly.”

Sitting down for silent meditation thoughts start turning summersaults, as “Man is a lonely being surrounded by the creations of his own mind.”: pictures start shooting through our brain; all kinds of ordinary life scenes may rise up together with thoughts about our spiritual ideas, memories from our childhood, ideas about previous incarnations together with an image of past Friday’s shopping list. Don’t hold, don’t grasp, don’t judge or value; just let go. Concentration on breath may be helpful.

The attitude towards rising thoughts and pictures during silent meditation should be like the attitude we may have towards the wandering clouds in the sky. Do we think: “Oh – that is an absolutely WONDERFUL cloud; I love, love, love it; and that cloud there – it is sooo ugly and unpleasant – I truly hate it!” ??? No, we don’t react with such foolish feelings of attraction or rejection towards the clouds in the sky. The clouds are just there; and a moment later they have changed their shape and roll by; and all this has nothing to do with us.

In meditation, we develop this same attitude of being non-involved towards all rising thoughts, ideas and feelings. We neither encourage nor deny, supress or shriek back; bad feelings arise – okay let them arise and pass by as the clouds; joy, laughter, tears, let go – it is all part of your path towards the realization of your true divine self.

We let it all pass by as we let the clouds in the sky roll by without identifying with them or reacting towards them. In this way we may realize, what in Western translations of Eastern wisdom teachings is somehow inadequately translated with the term of the “emptiness of all phenomena.”

Western occultists often associate with the term „emptiness“ in the context of spiritual development the idea of a nihilstic worldview, hostile to life, cold towards the suffering of our fellow beings. And indeed this may be a trap on the path, if -without fitting instructions from a spiritual teacher- emptiness is misunderstood. But we must not see emptiness as a contrary to fullness. No, emptiness is just a term to describe a certain state of the mind, which is beyond words.

In Mahayana teachings the term “emptiness” is used as the forefinger is used to show to the moon – nobody would confuse your forefinger for the moon – it is just an implement. And the same is true for the term “emptiness” in Buddhist context.

In the “Oracle of Cerridwen” the Goddess points to the fact, that a certain state of spiritual awakening cannot be conceptualized, as it is beyond concepts: “For even those travellers who have found the Grael are not able to share it with their fellows!”

And in the same oracle a hint is given to the necessity of spiritual discipline and devotion: “For this is the Law, that each must achieve divine inspiration in solitude through service.” The Celtic Twilight / Celtic Revival author James Stephens, who beside AE had been one of the most inspired seers of that era describes the Goddess Dana as follows:

“And one came also to whom the hosts shouted with mighty love, even the Serene One, Dana, the Mother of the gods, steadfast for ever. Her breath is on the morning, her smile is summer. From her hand the birds of the air take their food. The mild ox is her friend, and the wolf trots by her friendly side; at her voice the daisy peeps from her cave and the nettle couches his lance. The rose arrays herself in innocence, scattering abroad her sweetness with the dew, and the oak tree laughs to her in the air. Thou beautiful! The lambs follow thy footsteps, they crop thy bounty in the meadows and are not thwarted: the weary men cling to thy bosom everlasting. Through thee all actions and the deeds of men, through thee all voices come to us, even the Divine Promise and the breath of the Almighty from afar laden with goodness.”

The attentive mind, trained by silent meditation and the compassionate heart, dedicated to the love for all, knowing about the true nature of creation where separation is an illusion and Oneness is realized – both are needed to realize Her true nature, to realize Goddess-Oneness-Consciousness. Experiencing Her in deep meditation AE has written down these words as Her oracle: “...My heart shall be in thine when thine forgives."

The Isian / Danaan path doesn´t encourage withdrawal to a convent or monastery. HER spiritual service includes joyful participation in ordinary life to show forth the all embracing love of the Goddess for all life in our own way of encountering our fellow beings – spirit, human, animal and plant – with loving compassion and respect, as we all are part of Her Divine Family of sentient beings.

One of the fruits of meditation will be permeability, enabling us to experience Her limitless love, flowing through all creation from the greatest galaxy to the tiniest life form. Having followed Her vocation, the more we may realize our true, divine self, the more we may radiate Her limitless omnipresent love for our fellow beings, reflecting HER presence as a clear mirror, unstained of phantasies of superiority or inferiority, and finally free from greed and fear.

In the Mystery of The Children of Lir, the occultist offers the motto: „To dare, to do and to take the consequences“. Following this motto, daring to loose our Ego on the path of the Goddess means: winning the priceless experience of the realization of HER-self – Goddess-Oneness-Consciousness.

The Hidden Light: The Power of Candles

By David deRoeck, Pr. Hierophant

Ascension of Isis Mystery School Lyceum

Since mankind first witnessed the element of fire they have strived to harness and control its physical manifestation.  Alongside that they have also strived to understand its mystical and spiritual properties.

From the Ancient Egyptians Ashen Su Hor to the Chinese Hei an Zhuan to the Hebrew writing and through to Greek (The Ciro the divine fire of God root oil of cold fire, which engulfs the human spirit with Christos light making them, anointed or Christed, which manifests with a divine light around them a Halo).

The Indian Vedas also Puranas write of (Apocalyptic destruction and regeneration through the element of a holy fire which operates in the center of all things as a unifying and stabilizing factor which can be reached through the Kundelini).

The fire or flame is the transcendence of the power or intent, whereas the light and heat are the effects of that transcendence upon its environment.  So as we are all made of the same cosmic material we all have a frequency and harmony, as do all things.  To understand and fit into the symphony of your environment means you can take steps to alter all things within your symphony instead of being thrown from one out of tune crescendo to another out of step fox trot.  If you take a blank white sheet of paper, and put a drop of blue ink in one corner the effect is minimal on the whole sheet.  But if you blow as hard as you can directly above it. The ink will spread in all directions, use a straw or just blow in one direction and the effect is one directional.  Add red ink to your sheet and do the same, where the two inks converge, the colour, pattern and the paper change.  We may see these thing as simplistic games and of having little value in the great world today of high speed interaction and touch of a button what I want is now kind of deal.  Yet this is not so with practice you can achieve colours and designs  with complex forms that become analogies to a far greater view of what you ogrinally perceived.  This is but a small step in knowing how you Feel and yes again I harp on about How you Feel because I cannot emphasize the importance of “How you Feel”.

When you know How you Feel;

Then you know what You Feel;

When you know what You Feel;

Then you know where You Are;

When you know where You Are;

Then you know where You are Going:

So this seemingly simplistic start is always clouded by what you already know because you always start jumping ahead thinking “I know this it is like Bla Bla I have already taken that course, or read that book”.   It is exactly the same with all things you attempt you cannot unlearn things you can only re-write how the end result maybe.  Like the truth of yesterday may not stand up tomorrow it is not a falsehood it is just relative to the understanding of what you had at the time. That is why the Ancient Egyptian Heka is probably the best form of instruction for spiritual forms because there is nothing to compare it too. When you start the frame work has only one road forward and it is not  like anything else, it is a simple path to journey yet by the end of it or even if you only go part of the way. Your understanding and conception of the universe is placed on a solid foundation. So no matter what structure you build after that it will have solidity at its base.

So this divine light that we all so easily speak of, to some who are not willing to ask in case they are seen as wanting in some way I say to you all.  No question is ever foolish or not worth time to view the perspective. It is only the teacher or instruction that has fallen short and not given task to all the audience. So for those who wish to ask how can I see or know if this fire is within me, the answer is.  Within all living things is fire and all things are living nothing in this universe is dead it all has a connection to the same cosmic material that was their at the source the big bang if you wish. So the very same particles that exploded from the very first star are in you as they are in me. Like all things we have in matter limitations we are a divine spirit held in place by a corporeal body, this means we are capable of doing great wonders because we have matter.  When you shed this mortal coil and become that divine energy again you can do nothing because you lack the matter to change things in matter.  That is why Angels come through you and not to you. Also why all these so called ascended being require our help to do or say things? Now for the purposes of this paper we need not go into that further suffice to say I am sure a few feathers have been ruffled, this said it is not my intention to be little others beliefs but just to question the messenger not the message?

·         Stage one you need do nothing else other than breathe deeply a few times try to keep it in rhythm as in the same count for your inward breath as for your exhaling breath.  This could be a count of five or four or three, then hold for the same then exhale for the same.

·         Do not try to imagine or visualize a flame or fire etc. etc. just think of you being.

·         Now be aware of an ignition a point a spark of combustion (again do not visualize or imagine it) just let it be.

·         When you feel a thing or point that ignition remember how you feel and where you feel it.  Again just let it be try the process a couple of times to repeat it, so you can confirm that you feel the same things.

·         Now get a plain ordinary candle or night light place it safely in front of you about five or six feet away so as to be sure your breathing is not affecting the flame.

·         Ignite your candle and sit comfortably center yourself by going through stage one.  Then think of your feeling, your point of ignition within yourself and think of the candle, let that feeling find is own level a plain that is one with you and it.  Now view the candle and feel the flame within you moving feel it grow and as you watch the candle flame see if it grows or moves with your connection. 

·         This is you expanding your being (not your mind) it is your divine the real you. The more you play with this the more you will recognize what is you.

So now you can start your experiments with the focus of that inner flame that ignition, that point of all emanation.

The power of candles, using different coloured candles and burning them with the right focus and intent you can bring forward and open up possibilities, which before were beyond your grasp.  You can create your own harmony and balance in your life. The real you starts to write the music that is your symphony so you become the composer and orchestra of your very own being. If you wish to know more about these things then please visit Ascension of Isis Facebook group or the web site  www.ascensionofisis.com  Blessings to all and always question the messenger not the message.
