New French Lyceum and Grove

The Fellowship of Isis in France

Report from the Most Reverend Dr Vivianne Crowley, Lyceum
Of Belisama and Grove of Ana:

"I am delighted to announce that Lady Olivia has inaugurated two new Fellowship of Isis groups in France – the Lyceum of Belisama and the Druid Grove of Ana.  Both groups are based in Brittany, France’s Celtic north-west.

Belisama was worshiped by the ancient Gauls and in northern Italy.  She is the ‘Most Powerful One’ and was associated in the Roman era with Minerva.  Ana is the Mother Goddess of Brittany.  She was incorporated into Breton Christian tradition as the Mother of Mary and therefore grandmother of Jesus.  Hers is the largest religious festival in Brittany.

The Lyceum will provide training in the Isian priesthood for men and women seeking ordination in France.  The Druid Grove will hold seasonal celebrations for those on the Druid path.

Olivia chartered the Lyceum on 15 August 2011.  This was followed by a ceremony at Clonegal Castle on 12 November 2011, where I was deeply honoured to be presented by Olivia’s niece Cressida Pryor and initiated as an Archdruidess of the Druid Clan of Dana by Olivia and ordained as a Priestess of Belisama.

The November day was bathed in golden sunshine as we processed from the Castle courtyard to the Old Abbey for invocations to invoke the energies of the Goddess in Nature.  We then proceeded to the Castle Temple for the initiation and ordination, followed by a seasonal celebration.  The same golden light permeated the indoor ceremonies, until a wonderful pure blue healing energy made itself felt, entwining itself with the gold as Isis, Belisama and Ana manifested their energies.

In December, we are holding a ceremony in our stone circle in Brittany to root the energies of the FOI in Breton soil.  We are also planning a small gathering in France for summer 2012.  Anyone wishing to participate is invited to contact the Lyceum and Grove through viviannecrowley@gmail.com"

Bulletin par la Révérendissime Dr Vivianne Crowley, Lyceum de Belisama et le Cercle Druidique du Bosquet Sacré d’Ana

J’ai le plaisir d’annoncer que Dame Olivia a inauguré, en France, deux nouveaux groupes affiliés à la Fellowship d’Isis – le Lyceum de Belisama et le Cercle Druidique du Bosquet Sacré d’Ana. Ces deux groupes ont été fondés en Bretagne.

Belisama était vénérée par les anciens Gaulois ainsi que dans le nord de l’Italie. Nommée “la Plus Puissante”, elle était associée du temps des Romains à Minerve. Ana est la Déesse Mère, patronne de la Bretagne. Elle fut intégrée à la tradition chrétienne bretonne en tant que Mère de la Vierge Marie, et donc grand-mère de Jésus. Sa fête donne lieu au plus important pèlerinage religieux de Bretagne.

Le Lyceum sera consacré à la prêtrise d’Isis, offrant une formation sacerdotale aux hommes et femmes souhaitant être ordonnés en France. Le Cercle Druidique organisera les fêtes saisonnières pour ceux suivant le chemin druidique. 

Dame Olivia a constitué le Lyceum le 15 août 2011. Cette événement fut suivi par une cérémonie en Irlande au Château de Clonegal le 12 novembre 2011, où j’eu le grand honneur d’être présentée par la nièce d’Olivia, Cressida Pryor, et initiée Archidruidesse du Clan Druidique de Dana par Olivia et ordonnée Prêtresse de Belisama.

Ce jour de novembre fut baigné de soleil, accompagnant notre procession de la court du Château à l’Ancienne Abbaye où nous nous rendions pour invoquer les énergies de la Déesse en la Nature. Nous nous sommes ensuite dirigés vers le temple du Château pour l’initiation et l’ordination, qui furent suivies par une fête saisonnière. La même lumière dorée baigna les cérémonies organisées en intérieur, jusqu’à ce qu’une merveilleuse énergie guérissante d’un bleu pur se fit ressentir, se mélangeant à l’or, alors qu’Isis, Belisama et Ana manifestaient leurs énergies.

En décembre, nous avons organisé une cérémonie au sein de notre cercle de pierres levées en Bretagne pour enraciner les énergies de la Fellowship d’Isis dans le sol Breton. Nous envisageons également un petit rassemblement en France pour l’été 2012. Toute personne souhaitant participer est priée de contacter le Lyceum et le Cercle à l’adresse suivante: viviannecrowley@gmail.com.
