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.

Portal of Isis

The purpose of the Portal of Isis website is to help FOI members quickly get to the FOI resources they need.

Lady Olivia Robertson asked me to create this portal site because some of the most wonderful FOI websites can be difficult to navigate.

Please email suggestions for ways to improve The Portal of Isis to DeeAnkh@sbcglobal.net.

FOI Home Page Message

The material from the FOI Homepage Archive has been transferred back to the original FOI site:.

The site will focus on providing FOI information as it originates from the Foundation Center. The networking files will not be included for now, as they are the most time consuming. The primary purpose continues as usual - to serve the international Fellowship of Isis community by honoring the legacy of the FOI Founders, as well as the vast body of work that Olivia Robertson has created over the years. When consulted, Olivia replied: "please go ahead with all my support and blessings of Isis!" The site will continued to be updated as she sends new information.

Please update your own websites to reflect this, and remove any past notices that no longer apply. As usual, if you have any questions, feel free to contact Connia Silver directly at

Iseum of the Tao of Isis

The Iseum of the Tao of Isis belongs to Paul Ingrassia, The Mystic Fool.

Foundation Union Triad


THE THREE EXPRESSIONS OF THE GODDESS
Fellowship of Isis Foundation Union Triad

Divine Reality expresses itself through the sublime qualities of Love, Beauty and Truth. The Fellowship of Isis, honouring and inspired by both God and Goddess, shows forth these qualities through the Priesthood, the Druid Clan of Dana and the Order of Tara.

The first expression given to us has been our restored Priesthood of Isis with the return of ordained Priestesses – and Her Priests.

The Goddess has increasingly shown forth the wonders of Druidry, through the Sophia, Divine Wisdom. These include arts and sciences. Now our members are increasingly active in the material world, working to save our planet. Thus the Order of Tara is becoming world-wide.

To express these Divine qualities, the 3 Unions of Priesthood, Druidry and the Protectors unite in Fellowship. The Unions do not in any way subtract from the divine relationship within which the Goddess, by whatever name, communes with each individual member. No member has any authority over another member. Oracles are translated by the human mind of the Priestess. Ideals are individual to the Druid. Conservation Projects are personal works of each person, not to be forced on others.

Each one of us is an individual offspring of Our Divine Mother. We are discovering our own particular Genius – encouraged by the Divine Father – which leads to discovering the genius in every creature and being.

This I have learnt from an Oracle of Pele only yesterday! **** * By all means disagree with me! Each of us receives a Ray directly from the Sun to our feet as we stand by a lake. We think this is ours alone. But others standing by the lake are admiring their own Sun path. And so it is and was and shall be.
