FOI Homepage Archive

the FOI Homepage Archive has always been an "officially authorized" Fellowship website and happily, since her return from her sabbatical due to family commitments, has been fully active again for quite a while.

Spring Pictures from Clonegal Castle

Olivia has been busy in the Temple again!

Notice the delightful addition of the upright flowers on either side of The Daughter of Gaia.
















Beautiful Dreamer is the Star Chapel of the Stella Maris shrine



















The following image is in the Chapel of Harmony (Asia) and is the Ghandarvi Devi in Yogic Asama. You may recognise the figure from earlier photos. She was originally black, but Olivia has painted her gold and transformed her!

Daughter of Gaia of New Aeon

This photograph is "The Shrine of the Daughter of Gaia of the New Aeon".

The Shrine is below the ancient loophole, the window of the old Castle dungeon, now Cave of the Mothers

Birthday Pictures

Lady Olivia Robertson celebrated her 93rd birthday on April 13, 2010.

Here are some pictures that were taken that day. The photos were accompanied by this message from Minette Quick, Ardrs., Hon.Sec.Circle of Brigid:

"I thought you would enjoy these photos of Olivia taken on her Birthday, beside two of her latest Shrines. She had a lovely day, not only did the Sun shine brightly, but we went out to lunch on the day with two of our priestesses from Waterford and quite incidentally met up with a lady living locally who loves Egypt so much that she travels there three times a year. She had been to see round the Castle on one of the Summer Tours and loved it. We hope to see her from now on at our Festivals.

Circle of Brigid

The spelling of the name of this goddess, specifically in regards to the group connected with Clonegal Castle, is spelled BRIGID.

Minette asks: "We would appreciate it if you would amend the spelling of "Brighid" to "BRIGID" as although Brighid is equally correct and is used by many, particularly in Ireland, the Circle of Brigid has usually been referred to with the spelling without an 'h', and the email for invitations to come to Festivals at Clonegal Castle is hon.sec.circleofbrigid@gmail.com."

Lady Olivia Robertson is currently in excellent health. But in the event of her passing, The Circle of Brigid will continue to organize the 8 yearly FOI Festivals; and members will continue to be welcomed every day to the Temple of Isis from 1st June to 1st September.
