FOI CODE OF ETHICS

received from Lady Olivia Robertson November 2012 through Caroline Wise:


Ethics within the Fellowship

“In ISIS we rely not on rules and regulations,
But on the Divine Power of Her Winnowing Wings of Protection.
In Her we trust.”

There is an duty of integrity and responsibility upon every individual member to uphold and adhere to the principles and ideals of the Fellowship, as set out in this Manifesto, including prevention of abuse and exploitation of humans, animals, and our environment.

No secrecy or binding vow is sanctioned in the Fellowship.

Any member has the right, at any time, to seek assistance from outside authorities.

Oracle of Isis
“I am She Who Was and Is and Is to Be. No mortal man hath lifted my veil.”

Isis lifts her veil to those with loving hearts,
Who seek the truth.
The balance between Love and Truth, divine feminine and sacred masculine, Isis and Osiris, brings forth harmony."

thank you to Lady Olivia for this Code of Ethics.

blessings,
Rt. Rev. Deena Hartray Butta

ETHICS WITHIN THE FELLOWSHIP



NOTICE FOR ALL MEMBERS
From: Olivia Robertson, Co-Founder, F.O.I.
Cressida Pryor, Co-Founder’s Successor.
19th August, 2012
  
ETHICS WITHIN THE FELLOWSHIP

“In ISIS we rely not on rules and regulations,
But on the Divine Power of Her Winnowing Wings of Protection.
In Her we trust.”

The Fellowship of Isis is all about developing an inner love of the Divine Feminine and the Sacred Masculine together.  There is therefore an onus of integrity and responsibility upon every individual member to uphold and adhere to the principles and ideals of the Fellowship, as set out in the Manifesto.

It has come to our attention that the Fellowship of Isis with its friendly honour for all genuine faiths has, in certain cases, become misused to validate the illegal manipulation of vulnerable members leading to inappropriate behaviour and violation of boundaries.  Often first contact is made through the social media leading on to illegal spiritual, emotional and physical abuse.

All members need to know that such sacrilegious desecration of the spiritual religion of The Goddess constitutes legitimate grounds for automatic expulsion from the Fellowship of Isis.  It should be remembered that no secrecy or binding vow is sanctioned in the Fellowship.  Any member has the right, at any time, to seek assistance from outside authorities.


“I am She Who Was and Is and Is to Be.  No mortal man hath lifted my veil.”
Isis lifts her veil to those with loving hearts,
Who seek the truth.

SACRED EGYPT


ISEUM OF TEMPLE HARAKHTE

The goal of Iseum of Temple Harakhte is the study and practice of Ancient Egyptian Sacred Science--the art, architecture, cosmic science, and theurgy of Egypt's temple traditions.  While all the ancient deities are honored in their seasons, Iseum Temple Harakhte holds The Trinity of the Divine Family Isis-Osiris-Horus (Auset-Asar-Heru) as the prototype of spiritual harmony that the Shemsu (followers) may emulate.  Foremost among them is the mother of the living light, Isis--the faithful wife, wise teacher, protector and guardian, healer to those afflicted, and counselor to those who govern.

The Iseum frequently sponsors speakers on topics of Sacred Science that are open to the public, and schedules private temple meetings at the convenience of members and their guests.

Iseum Temple Harakhte also provides sacred journeys to Egypt, temple tools, sacred astronomy, and Soothsayings.

Iseum of Temple Harakhte is at 1314 Sixth Street S.E. Charlottesville VA 22902-6302

CALISTA FLOCKHART

Read about Calista Flockhart's recent visit to The Castle.

ABOUT THE CASTLE

Alexander Durdin-Robertson, who now runs a year-round programme of attractive events open to the public, including guided tours of the Grounds and Castle and so on, has invited our Fellowship websites to include a link to the Castle's own website atwww.huntingtoncastle.com, so that visitors can get an overall picture of what is available at Clonegal nowadays and come along.    

It might be an idea to make it clear that although the Fellowship refers to the Castle as 'Foundation Centre' or Clonegal Castle, which was its old name - and it is in the village of Clonegal on the borders of Counties Carlow and Wexford in Ireland - it is also known as Huntington Castle, and all general, non-FOI information, can only be found under that name.

There is no change to the usual 'Invitations' system for those wishing to attend any of the 8 annual festivals held by the FOI at the Castle by request via the Hon.Sec. of the Circle of Brigid which assists in running them.


(thank you to Minette Quick for this information.)

NEW GROVE & LYCEUM AT THREE CASTLES


Olivia’s Visit 
to
NEW GROVE and LYCEUM
 in Ireland
1st June, 2012
Olivia
At
THREE CASTLES, CO. KILKENNY
Photos by Minette Quick (on the way to Three Castles)

Our new Grove
‘An a Cuallacht Dé Danaan’ 
(Fellowship of Danu)

And


 Lyceum‘An Neimheadh’
(Sacred Space – The Goddess Nemetona)

Three Castles is in one of the most ancient areas of Pre-Druidic remains.

The Centre is dominated by a lofty Norman Castle, the ruins of another Castle and strangest of all, The Old Rectory where Eimear Burke & Howard Campbell live is also part of a Norman Castle, one over each other in segments.
Druid Way
The River Nore runs nearby, and is dedicated to The Goddess FÏŒdhla.  The land here is connected with the defeat of the Danaans by the Milesians  and led to the retreat of the Danaans ‘underground’ to the psychic realm of Tír na nÓg.  A Milesian Gaelic invader Eremon has his grave there on the ‘Plain of the Silver Woods', near the banks of the river. It is good to have a connection with the land to balanceArachne’s World Wide Web! O.R.

(I took some photographs whilst we were on our visit to Three Castles. M.Q.)

Isis Tree
The Sycamore Tree is said to be the “Tree of Isis”, and a beautiful young one silently presides just to the left as you enter Her Temple which has recently been created within the smallest stone tower.  It is a delightful intimate space and its four walls are open to the skies beneath the green canopy of the Sycamore.
Root & Bole
Stepping out of the doorway of this first Temple, this is just one charming wild pathway of many which wind all round the Castles and garden. Turning to the right you meet this lovely Druid Shrine.  There is something of interest at every turn. 
Druid Shrine

The largest sacred space of the three Castles, also open to the skies, is entered via a short flight of stone steps and through an ancient stone doorway you step down into what was clearly used at one time as a Church with narrow windows and high walls.  Looking to your left as you enter, a triple branched spiral or triskele has been created on half of the floor space, and an iron gateway looks out over an ancient graveyard. 
DCD Grove

 This Temple has now been dedicated to the Irish Goddess of Sacred Space - ‘An Neimheadh’. This is a beautiful space for Ceremony and is enjoyed by all the members of the Grove and Lyceum.

Giving Thanks

 Ancestor of Olivia’s Father, 
Manning Robertson
He published a book addressed as follows:
 “Dear Friends, You millions of the human race –
 Let us Love One Another”
He then listed all the genocidal atrocities 
committed by world religions.
As this included Christianity,
 The Manning Robertson family burnt every copy
 save one.
Olivia found this in a secret drawer
as a young woman, and felt overwhelmed
at being addressed in this way
by her ancestor. 
As she rightly says, 
we have all been given this message
 many times
But somehow, sadly, 
we’ve never got round to it…..
She is honoured to finally pass on
 his heartfelt message
“It’s taken a long, long time.” She says.  
“But better late than never.”
His is the central message 
of the Fellowship and of the Goddess

Olivia's 95th Birthday


OLIVIA’S 95TH BIRTHDAY
Friday 13th April, 2012
by
Minette Quick

A large gathering of people turned up at the Castle to celebrate Olivia’s 95th Birthday at the invitation of her family.  Friends from the village joined a number of Fellowship members to meet many of Olivia’s extended family who had travelled over to Ireland to be with her on this special occasion from England, the Isle of Man, and Bavaria.  All were entertained to a delightful concert in the Theatre, presented by Olivia’s niece, Cressida and her husband Bob who are wonderful entertainers, and various family members, including her sister Caroline, took the stage to sing and play.  To give a taste of the occasion I include a couple of photographs.  One is of Olivia’s nephew Patrick, playing a metal ‘didgeridoo ’constructed from a long vacuum cleaner tube! 

This was a splendid sounding instrument, and he encouraged everyone to join in chanting ‘OM’ in rhythm with his spirited playing, which together with Lydia Lyte’s infectious drumming really got things going. The other photo is of Caroline playing her own delightful and accomplished composition on the tin whistle. 

The concert was rounded out by the uproarious performance of an impromptu play, entitled “Space Mums” consisting of ‘Anonymous Confessions’ regarding the unusual and disturbing powers of their offspring, such as ‘levitating,’ and ‘getting their own way….’  Directed by Olivia with her customary panache, various members of the audience spontaneously engaged with great enthusiasm and wit, to much laughter and applause! Afterwards everyone enjoyed tea and cakes, served in the Castle Tea Rooms which adjoin the Theatre.

Despite the forecast of storms, thunder and overcast skies in the morning, and the fact that I drove up the Avenue with hail-stones bouncing violently off my windscreen just before 2pm, the weather cleared and the sun came out in perfect time for us all to set off after tea for a procession down to the Druid’s Grove of Dana for invocations amongst the great trees in the wilderness by the River Derry (Irish Daire-Druid river of the Oak) The swans have returned to breed on their island and four many-coloured donkeys are grazing beside it like Olivia’s ‘Four Holy Donkeys of the Zodiac.’

Next we processed to the ruins of the Abbey, home of the Noble Order of Tara, still in sunshine and blessed by the beautiful blossoms of the flowering cherry beside it, for further invocations from Members of the Order.  

We then returned to the Temple entering from the gardens by Persephone’s gateway.

At Brigid’s Well we received the blessings of Her Healing Water and members of the priesthood who had travelled over from London, Glastonbury and France, contributed to the ceremony both at the Well and in a beautiful Oracle from Brigid, Goddess and Saint, and Olivia took us all on a trance journey to Tir Na Nog.

Afterwards members of the priesthood offered counselling and healing to any who wished to receive it, and we all went down to the village at 6pm to relax over tea and sandwiches.  It was, as ever, a wonderful opportunity to share our experiences and to meet up with old and new friends. All in all it was a wonderful day which Olivia enjoyed to the full, and a very happy time was had by all!
