Isis Auctions E-Mail List

Isis Auctions is an e-mail list started by FOI member K. Matthew Bearden.

Its purpose is to help members of the FOI community with a service or something tangible to sell or buy.

If you have a statue of Isis that no longer resonates with you, place an ad on the list. If you make Goddess jewelry or art work, place an ad. If you just have witchy clothing to sell, place an ad. You incorporate a picture.

You can place an ad for services as well. If you are a tarot reader or diviner of any kind, place an ad. If you offer correspondence courses in anything at all place and ad. Do you have a group that you are trying to get word out about? Anything Isis or occult oriented is allowed. It's as simple as sending an email.

On the other hand if you need something, you can also place an ad. Need a crook, crown, sistrum or anything else for a ritual? Send an email through the list.
