Olivia Robertson writes: "It is with great happiness that I write this Introduction. The central world-wide Homepage is vital for the presentation of the Fellowship of Isis in our twenty-first century global community. People are awakening to various spiritual and psychic gifts that often perplex the more materially-minded folk amongst whom they live and work. Our Homepage provides a rainbow network that lucidly explains the unexplainable! One needs to attune to Isis in order to experience Her many-faceted Star-Light, warmly glowing in the matriarchal cloak of Outer Space. Joining FOI is to join a family, linked through empathic telepathy, language of our new Aeon of Aquarius." Additional Letter added at Olivia Robertson's request The Fellowship of Isis Homepage is gratefully dedicated to this much-beloved co-founder.  photo © O. Robertson About the Fellowship of Isis: The Fellowship of Isis (FOI) is an international, multi-faithed organization that is dedicated to honoring the Goddess in Her many forms. It was founded at Clonegal Castle, Ireland at the Vernal Equinox of 1976. The founders are Olivia Robertson and the late Lawrence and Pamela Durdin-Robertson. The Manifesto sets out the basic principles of this society. It is organized on a democratic basis and all members have equal privileges within it, whether as a single member or part of an FOI center. Membership is free. The Fellowship of Isis is multi-religious, multi-racial, and multi-cultural. It is dedicated to honoring the religion of all the Goddesses and pantheons throughout the planet. (See Olivia Robertson's note regarding the spiritual affiliation of the FOI.) The Gods are also venerated.  photo © 2008 M.Q. The Goddess is seen as Deity, the Divine Mother of all beings. To read an excerpt about the history of the Goddess, please see the excerpt of a lecture given by co-founder Lawrence Durdin Robertson, on the Religion of the Goddess . Thousands of members from various esoteric traditions have joined the Fellowship of Isis from countries throughout the world. Members often blend their own rites with those offered by the Fellowship.
However expressed, all members acknowledge In August 1993, the Fellowship of Isis was represented at the Parliament of the World's Religions Centennial Session. Olivia Robertson, co-founder of the FOI was invited to attend, along with other appointed FOI delegates. This was the first time that the religion of the Goddess was publicly acknowledged as a world faith at this parliament. Olivia was one of two women and sixteen men who addressed the opening plenary from the platform. She gave the blessings of Isis to the world. You can read more about the Parliament here.
