FOI Priesthood
For those who wish ordination within the Fellowship of Isis, a training course is first required. Application is made to a member of the FOI Priesthood within an active center. The recommended training period is 9 months to 2 years. Spiritual Vocation on the part of the Candidate is essential.

Either a Lyceum or Iseum may provide Priesthood training: either in person or through correspondence. It is done by an Iseum when the Magi Degree system is not a part of the training program. In order to preserve validity of Fellowship courses and to maintain equal standards, ordaining others on "previous life experience" is not acceptable. (This refers to previous studies and/or degrees obtained within other traditions in this current incarnation, as well as any former "past life" experiences.)

At the end of the training period, the Rite of Ordination is performed, either in person or through attunement, by a Fellowship Priestess or Priest. This completes the first phase and confers direct Spiritual Ordination.

After the Ordination Rite, the Fellowship requires a formal year and a day to pass before registration of the new Priest/ess is allowed. This procedure will validate their ministry in practical life through conscious participation in their Vocation.

After the required year and a day, if s/he wishes formal

Iseums
Any member may found an Iseum. You do not have to be a Priest/ess or Hierophant. An Iseum may be requested at any time, but it is recommended that the member first study the Fellowship of Isis structure and liturgy (either on their own or with a FOI center), and be a member for a reasonable period of time. To found an Iseum, a request is made to an existing center for sponsorship.

Iseum numbers/certificates are no longer provided by the Foundation Center. Existing centers are asked to issue their own certificates for new Iseums. As you sponsor them, please submit the required information to an

Lyceums
Only a Hierophant may found a Lyceum. You must first be ordained as a FOI Priest/ess and also attain 4 Magi Degrees through study with a Lyceum before becoming a Hierophant. Only a Hierophant may consecrate another as Hierophant using the Flamma Sacerdotae: Consecration of a Hierophant.

According to the directive of Olivia Robertson: the sole purpose of a Lyceum is to provide training in the FOI Magi Degree system. These centers are required to provide structured Magi degree courses centered around the Lyceum Liturgy in order to be considered valid. All other offerings and teachings are to be provided by an Iseum.

Before establishing a new Lyceum, it is recommended that the member first firmly establish their own Iseum within the Fellowship of Isis.

Lyceum and Hierophant numbers/certificates are no longer provided by the Foundation Center. Existing centers are asked to issue their own certificates for new Lyceums and Hierophants. As you sponsor them, please submit the required information to an
