Archpriesthood Union
"The members of the Archpriesthood Union, 32 members in 4 continents, are Custodians to protect and nurture the ideals and activities of the Fellowship of Isis. All are ordained and consecrated as Priestesses and Priests and so are fully conversant with the Liturgy, and all the structures of the Foundation Societies. The ideal Archpriestess or Archpriest is one who is open to the inspiration of Isis, and is available to members for counseling, healing and ideas. A member of the AU is a peace-maker, one who listens."  Overview of the AU: The Archpriesthood Union (AU) was created by Olivia Robertson in January of 1999 when the Foundation Center was decentralized. The members of the AU are the Custodians of the Fellowship of Isis, including each of its Foundation-Center Societies. Each AU member is endowed with the responsibility of maintaining and upholding the principles and policies of the Fellowship of Isis. AU members are also responsible for registering new FOI centers and appointments. There are 32 positions within the Archpriesthood. This is in alignment with the 32 Magi Degrees and Initiate Levels offered by the Fellowship of Isis. The 33rd position is kept open in honor of AU members who cross the veil to the next world, including the co-founders Lawrence and Pamela Durdin-Robertson. AU is the ancient term in alchemy for spiritual gold. One of the requirements to be an Archpriest/ess is to have a "sphere of influence" of 1,000 or more FOI members. This title is only conferred when there is an opening in the existing Archpriesthood Union. Star of Isis-AU: Olivia Robertson writes: "8 members of the Archpriesthood Union identified with the 8-pointed Star of the FOI Diagram offer a Consultancy service. Members all over the world requiring information, ideas and help may apply to the AU Star of Isis. Letters to individual members can be sent to their respective Centres, or to the FOI Central Homepage. The number of Star of Isis is limited to 8." In 2003, the "Star of Isis AU" was created by Olivia Robertson from eight members of the Archpriesthood Union in order to function as an advisory board and consultancy service to all Fellowship of Isis members. The number 8 corresponds with the 8-rayed Star within the FOI Cosmic Web. The members of the Star of Isis also moderate a online FOI Question & Answer Forum as a part of their advisory work for the Fellowship of Isis. Current SOI-AU members include (in alphabetical order): Rt. Revs: Prof. E.A. Afarri, Dr. Jocelyn Almond, Deena Butta, deTraci Regula, Cathryn Anne Rogers, Connia Silver and Swami Sudheer. Olivia Robertson is overall coordinator. You can write any of the SOI members individually at the contact information provided in the directory below, or send them a collective email to this website: contact page. Individual AU Responsibilities: Certain AU members also have specific tasks to administer within the Fellowship. Each Archpriestess and Archpriest contributes to the Union in harmony with their own unique talents and abilities: Olivia Robertson - Co-founder of the Fellowship of Isis and creator of all FOI policies & procedures Patricia Griffin - Assistant Foundation Center Temple Priestess Connia Silver - manager: FOI Homepage, FOI manuals Loreon Vigne - Temple of Isis legal status/federal recognition in California, USA Moderators for FOI Q&A Forum: Jocelyn Almond, Deena Butta, deTraci Regula, Cathryn Anne Rogers, Connia Silver, and Olivia Robertson as overseeing Consultant.
