Authorizations & Clarifications
from the Foundation Center, Ireland
The purpose of the Fellowship of Isis Homepage website continues as it always has from 1999 to the present day: to promote the current Fellowship and honor the legacy of the FOI Founders. This website is authorized by the FOI Foundation Center in Enniscorthy, Eire.
(In order of receipt.)
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 {Homepage Manager} 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 to be included on the Homepage 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:
This website was minimally updated for one year from December 2008 to January 2010. This was due to a sudden increase in family responsibilities of its manager, who requested an emergency sabbatical. During that time, the pages were redirected to a sister-site so that members could still access its information, with the permission of FOI co-founder, Olivia Robertson. The Homepage was never taken offline completely.
Olivia wrote: "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, all the Fellowship of Isis material has been restored to the original URL, once again with the blessings of Olivia Robertson.
She wrote: "Please go ahead with all my support and blessings of Isis! Blessings for the New Aeon - starting at 2010!"
This website requested the addition of the word "archive", as it clearly illustrated the original objective of this website - to record the ongoing body of information and work as originating from the FOI Foundation Center and its founders: FOI Homepage and Archive

Letter of support in February, 2010: Olivia's letter
Olivia also wrote 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"
Clarifications:
April 10, 2010: Any references to the "former" FOI Homepage are not accurate. Olivia Robertson requests that all outdated and incorrect notices be removed and asks that the site URL be restored to all global site listings: Reminder to FOI websites
FOI Manuals Publication: "The production of FOI Manuals has always been undertaken and partly written by C. Silver, www.fellowshipofisis.com. Therefore duplication of effort is unnecessary. signed, Olivia Robertson
October 3, 2011" (sent by the Rt. Rev. Deena Butta.)
