Solitary Work
goodness. And this depends upon the individual communion between each member and Deity. A lone devotee of the Goddess shows forth as bright a Light as any vast congregation in mass prayer. Olivia Robertson, Panthea For those who do not have access to an Iseum or Lyceum in their area, or simply prefer to work alone, there are many opportunites for spiritual growth within the Fellowship of Isis. Solitary Worship"Through the years members have asked for devotional practices for those who worship the Goddess on their own. The word 'worship' describes the initial stage of our relationship to the Divine Mother: as we develop in Her way we achieve a loving identity with Her, while retaining our own originality, and honour for Her manifestation through others. Daily private practice, whether in silence or through spoken words, is essential for sustained progress on the religious path. To invoke, sing and dance on one's own requires moral courage, but unbinds the soul! There is no limitation to the Pantheon of Deities in all faiths, and no limit either to the divinity latent in each of their offspring. Therefore, although apparently alone, the Devotee becomes more and more part of that rainbow network which brings Heaven on earth." Olivia Robertson  photo © O. Robertson Contemplate the FOI Liturgy Solitary practitioners may read and perform the Fellowship of Isis Liturgy on their own. However, if formal FOI degrees and initiations are desired, a course of study with a Fellowship center is required. There are also Fellowship of Isis prayers that may be used by any member on a regular basis, as well as Juno Covella, the Perpetual Calendar of the Fellowship of Isis.  photo © O. Robertson Create a Shrine So shall your outer observance be a sign that you accept my grace. Wherever a Devotee places my picture, my statue, two candles, incense and a cup of water, there shall I dwell. There shall Joy, Health and Abundance be the gifts of my eternal Love." Olivia Robertson
Any Fellowship ritual may be adapted and enacted as a solitary member. Maya, Goddess Rites for Solo Use is a specific publication for solitary use. For a Fellowship of Isis ritual to create a personal shrine to Isis, go to the first ritual in this booklet, "Creation of a Shrine." The Foundation Center at Clonegal Castle, Ireland offers Fellowship of Isis attunement on a twice-daily basis. This occurs mornings and evenings from 6:30 to 8:30 GMT. Members may attune at any time to the Fellowship of Isis , knowing that somewhere the Goddess is being invoked and her Blessings sent forth. Reviewing the online Photo Gallery and the tour of the Castle Temple may help facilitate deeper attunement.  All Rights Reserved. |
