Oracle of the Goddess Isis of Ten

Goddess of the Aquarian Age
Through Her Priestess, Olivia Robertson

My New Aeon is the age
of the Temple of the Stars. To enter, you must give up the idea of ladders! My
starry path is not for those who love status or competitions. The Universe is a
spiral, therefore, let the microcosm mirror the macrocosm! All beings are not
the same, yet all emanate from the same Source. My Divine Spark resides within
each one – whether human or sidhe, angel or animal, tree or plant, stone or
star. All were given birth through Me! Leave behind the idea that you are
“created” - you were not created - you were born! You are the offspring of My
Body. Open your hearts and My Divine Spark will shine forth in each of you.
Honor the Divinity in All and you honor Me.

Leading on from the last Isian News:
‘Broader structures within the FOI are also going
to be ‘spring cleaned’ so we meet the anniversary with fresh energy and
purpose. One of these areas is the basic priesthood training and another will
be the rites of passage liturgies. More of this in the next Isian News’:
My, what an interesting few months we have had
since the last Isian News...Isis’s name, blessings be upon her and all of us,
or rather the acronym ISIS has been in the news for far from divine
reasons...Is this phenomena a manifestation of the dark side of our humanness?
I am reading a fascinating book rooted in the psychology and science of human
nature by Graham Music called ‘the Good Life’...the cover shows a drawing of a
smiling brain reaching down to grasp ‘the hand’ of a warm heart...an image of
cooperation between these two vital organs. His work in forensic settings
brings him to meet those where this crucial alliance is severed and wider
society suffers as a result.
Mystics and sensitives throughout history have
pointed the way to a life that is light filled; where there is an open heart
capable of linking and thinking with truth and compassion fostering parity
between all.
My vision for the FOI also encompasses a movement
away from the gradual developments in past decades of complex hierarchical
structures of ‘adepti’; the arch priesthood, the grand orders with Knights and
Dames Commanders to something simpler and more transparent ...I discovered that
the names of many on these lists are a surprise; not least to those who are
named there! There is, of course a need for groupings, which allow those with
particular vocations to have support, training, encourage development and
friendship. I don’t think such groups need to contain a certain number of people
(currently 33 seems to be the chosen quantity) so the ‘gaps’ have been filled
with likely names...now I can feel collective gasps coming maybe from certain
quarters as I write this. Next to me lies Olivia’s Compendium of manuals kindly
sent to me from America where it was recently updated after her death. I know
her huge well of creativity and love of drama fostered the development of these
colourful and elaborate structures. My fear is that this complexity; imbued
with heraldic and Masonic overtones flatter our all too easily fed ego. Who
wouldn’t feel bolstered by being initiated as 4th Grade Grand
Dame~Knight Commander of the xxxx Noble Order? Turning to the compendium for
guidance I find Olivia used a term I feel is more congruent with the non-hierarchical
ethos of the manifesto:
To become Companions ... someone we share
bread with, someone we walk alongside on the same path; deepening relationship
through conversation and dream sharing... Now this is more ‘my cup of tea’ and
not to forget the slice of cake; paying homage to Olivia’s more earthly
sacraments!
What about priest/ess training? ... the first task
is to know the ‘look’ of what the FOI comprises because this then influences
what training needs to happen. There is a working party in Ireland, close to
the Foundation Centre and the Circle of Brigid that is currently exploring a
possible broad training curriculum. This task is time consuming and gruelling;
I bow down to those involved in this work and when we have more definite ideas
will communicate these to you.
For the FOI to recharge after Olivia’s passing, to
fresh vibrancy and relevance, requires certain developments, which will emerge
after discussion and consultation. My fear is we remain in ‘Olivia Aspic’,
which she herself would decry and warn against. Stepping into our own glory
perhaps feels disrespectful at present only nine months since her death. The
right time will emerge and Isis’s wings will protect and refresh these
developments.
I hold these words of John O’Donohue close to my
thoughts and heart:
“May the gift of
leadership awaken in you as a vocation,
Keep you mindful of
the providence that calls you to serve.
As high over the
mountains the eagle spreads its wings,
May your perspective
be larger than the view from the foothills....”
I have just heard of Loreon Vigne’s passing, she
was one who had the broad view from the mountain top; may her soul soar.
May we all, dear companions, gather strength at
this time of first harvest as the wings of Isis spread wide in protection and
gratitude.
With Love and the Blessings.
