(In order of receipt.)
Fellowship of Isis Homepage
April 7th 1999: "Please set up a proper FOI WWW Site! That would be wonderful. Blessings of the Goddesses! Olivia Robertson." (The Fellowship of Isis Homepage was uploaded on May 18, 1999.)
29th of June, 1999: "I am absolutely delighted with our Homepage! The graphics, the substance and above all the sunny romantic photos are beautiful. I like not having the front-the-camera phoney grins of religious characters that put one off. Derry and I look so pleasantly afar in the Land of Heart's Desire - which this place is in a way. Happiness NOW."
Olivia Robertson's additional letter from July 1999.
FOI Homepage Introduction
Olivia's letter of introduction for the Homepage.
FOI Liturgy Copyright:
The entire FOI Liturgy has been included on this website at the request of Rt. Rev. Olivia Robertson and is copyright protected from 1999-on. All rights reserved. Regarding the 2002 Liturgy version: "The Liturgy stands as it is now on the Homepage. I respect all the excellent work that the Rt. Rev. Connia Silver has done for FOI. I have read and approved the corrections that have been made and it was by my request." Olivia Robertson. (Our thanks to the Rt. Rev. Cathryn Anne Rogers for forwarding this message from Olivia.)
FOI Structures
"It was myself and myself alone who formed the whole new structures of FOI. I am proud of my work, and hastily emphasise this. . . Some like structures, degrees, initiations and designations, some not. Those who work solo or who belong to unstructured groups are on complete equality with Lyceums, etc. I take full responsibility for all the changes - a fact which I have always made clear in each issue of Isian News, in my Open Letters there; and in the updated Handbook and Manual. I am well capable of doing my own work in projecting our beloved FOI into the 3rd Millennium. Blessings, Olivia Robertson" (Letter from Olivia Robertson forwarded for the Homepage on 1/15/02)
"The Star of Isis, Archpriesthood, and the Circle of Brigid were inaugurated by me as part of the decentralization and stand as set up, as well as all the new paths in FOI." (Forwarded by the Rt. Rev. Cathryn Anne Rogers from Olivia on 10/26/04.)
FOI Homepage Register & Isian News
Olivia Robertson's letter from the Lughnasad 2003 Isian News.
Website Manager Sabbatical:
From December 1st 2008, this website was only minimally updated for one year. This was due to a sudden increase in family responsibilities of its manager, who requested an emergency sabbatical from her public FOI work. During that time, much of the Homepage information was still made available for members by redirecting the pages to an alternate site (www.crlyceum.com) with the permission of FOI co-founder, Olivia Robertson. It was never taken offline completely.
Olivia writes: "I am deeply sorry - I of course understand why you give up the Homepage which was so brilliant. . . I feel that the publications, tapes, files, etc. as you describe could continue with a link from the Homepage site so we don't lose those who loved your Homepage. . . Thank you for all you have done. Love and Blessings of ISIS." Olivia also later sent: "I am so happy the photos and my publications are still online. Every Blessing for you and your family."
Post-Sabbatical:
Now that Homepage manager's sabbatical is over, (her January 2010 letter) all the Fellowship of Isis material has been restored to the original URL, once again with the blessings of Olivia Robertson.
She writes: "Please go ahead with all my support and blessings of Isis! Blessings for the New Aeon - starting at 2010!"
The decision was made to retain the use of the word "archive", as it more clearly illustrated the objectives of this website - to record the body of information and work as originating from the FOI Foundation Center and its founders.
Additional Messages, included at Olivia's Request:

December 12, 2007: "How dynamic your brilliant web Homepage is! You really have brought us to so many. Think of all those who appreciate all you have done and are doing for F.O.I.! My family do like the Homepage - so clear and well set out. . . So here to usher in 2008 accept my own warm and loving thanks for all you do for F.O.I. It is internationally appreciated. Lots of Love & Blessings of Isis, Olivia"
Letter of support in February, 2010: Olivia's letter
Olivia also writes in July, 2010: "Yes, do continue peacefully as you are now with [the] Archive. I am happy with what you DID and now DO! I am so happy the site is as popular as ever. It is great people join via your Web. Do develop it as you feel fit."
October, 2010: "I admire your website and respect all the hard work that went into it."
November, 2010: "Your Web Homepage is so fully appreciated all over the earth now! Love & Blessings of Isis, Olivia"
Clarification:
Please note that any references to the former-FOI Homepage are not current. Both the manager of this website, as well as Olivia Robertson , have requested that outdated notices be removed and respectfully ask that the site be restored to all listings as before: Reminder to FOI websites
The purpose of this site continues as it always has from the beginning: to promote the organization of the international Fellowship of Isis and honor the legacy of the FOI Founders, as well as preserve the vast body of work that Olivia Robertson has created over the years. (see the About page.)
This is an actively updated site that will continue to grow as Olivia sends out new information, and provide an ongoing archive for the use of all Fellowship members. It seeks to exist in cooperation and to complement the many other Fellowship of Isis centers and websites throughout the world.
