Festival of Wesak

Beltaine. 1st - 2nd May

Ritual no. 7

ORACLE OF THE GODDESS MAHADEVI

Priestess: (Invocation) O Great Goddess, Mother of the Trimurti, the Holy Trinity, soul of every being, how can we extol Thee? By Thee even Mahadeva, the Almighty God is put into trance that He may make worlds. Thou art Maha-Sarasvati, Maha-Lakshmi, Maha-Parvati. Triple Goddess, guide us on our path to Enlightenment that we may awaken into eternal bliss.

Oracle: Look within your Self and you will find the Light of Truth, Buddhi, the Jewel within the Heart of the Lotus. Invisible it is and yet shineth in every creature. It is the dewdrop hanging from a blade of grass: it sparkles in the eyes of eagles and fast-flying swallows: it flows in rushing rivers and rests in rocky snow-capped mountains. The bliss of Nirvana is not in the past nor the future: so no vain regrets nor ambitious struggles in religious practices will bring it to you. No strivings for the reputation of saintliness can ensure your awareness. Rather it is in the moment that Eternity rests, awaiting you in a smile, sudden laughter, tears of compassion. If you could experience one second of enlightenment, it would be yours for ever! Time slips by like a passing landscape to the traveller, who appears to journey with it. But in reality the true Self is at rest at the hub of the turning wheel of life. Place yourself at the centre of this hub in total awareness, and you will be in a position of strength to control each of your lives as they revolve in cyclic reincarnations.

True knowledge brings good feeling, thought and activity. Control is essential. Yet how can you control yourself in alignment with your true Self, if you are swayed by passing passions? Free Will is to be earned not by extreme asceticism nor by selfish indulgence. It is attained by continual exercise of conscious choice between good and wrong behaviour. As you develop, you will observe that the choices both become more difficult and more subtle. Rejoice then, for you draw nearer to Self-realisation! if you could live for one minute in a truthful, compassionate manner, you would transform your day and your year and your life! 

Do not strive for too much: otherwise you will reach for the stars and fall upon your face! Rather combine spiritual practices with an enjoyment of Mother Earth. It is pious to memorise the myriad Names and Attributes of the Gods and Goddesses: it is also good to remember the names of your neighbours and their children, and to respect the attributes of animals, birds and plants! As I am the Universal Mother, these are your brothers and sisters and children. The mind conveys knowledge: intuition and conscience combined with experience produces wisdom.

I am without: I am within: I am the Lover and the Beloved: I am the Knower and the Known: I am the Harmony that reconcileth all things. Know Me.

Panthea, Initiations and Festivals of the Goddess

Fellowship of Isis Liturgy

by Olivia Robertson

Part II. The Star of Ishtar. Eight Seasonal Rites

Festival of Astarte and Adonis

Ritual no. 8

ORACLE OF THE GODDESS ASTARTE

Priestess: (Invocation) Divine Astarte, Queen of Heaven, Virgin of the Sea, we invoke Thee! Thou Who art Venus Urania, Goddess of Fertility and Love, replenish our hungry earth. Bring us hidden knowledge for our use from past aeons, Who art Mother of the Titans.

Oracle: Restlessly you look backwards and forwards in time and outwards to the stars for a world of power and love, whereas it is all around you now! The lost Paradise is as near as head and heart and is enjoyed by children and simple people living in woods and wild pastures. The gifts of the Tree of life shine within the earth and within each creature. Yet you have lost the Power to use them. For experiment as you will with the forces known to your five senses, the greater part of the physical world, the Etheric Plane, is lost to you! Yet it is from there that all health and energy come. Etheric Power comes from greater planes to animate the earth and your own bodies, through the Power Centres within the earth and yourselves. In Paradise the felled forest still stands and the parched river beds flow with life bringing waters. Nature Spirits enjoy the lovely land of Ether which is visited by beings from beyond the sun and by the Adepti.

You can have little real effect on earth through dreaming in the astral realm of gentle love and beauty, until you can understand and experience the etheric part of the physical plane. It is from thence that Apparitions of the Goddess manifest to Saints and the Gods show themselves to Hermits. From that plane miracles are mightily manifested through the Life Force which animates all existences on earth. Yet this very part of the physical world may be a place of fear to you when your souls leave your bodies on death. Not understanding its true nature, the etheric realm may become a limbo for earthbound spirits. However, know that any evil force in this realm is very Transient because it cannot subsist there on its own, but has to draw its existence from plasm produced by unpleasant emotions. But force for good can exist there because it draws its Power from Spheres of Light and Power.

Every day a dawn and dusk each of you should become aware of your own etheric Body of light, with its many-coloured centres and flowing lines of life force. Pray to Me to help you, for I am Mistress both of the rising Earth Force and of the descending Light emanating from greater planes. When these two forces meet within yourself, Love and Truth are one in Harmony and you will attain Illumination. Even in your first attempts you should gain health and happiness, understanding and a kindly love for all. As you progress you will become a beacon Light for all who accept your rays of goodness.

Each woman can be her own original manifestation of the Goddess: and every man individually should show forth the God. But first you must surrender selfishness and arrogance. Be receptive with humility to the Deities, and then you yourselves can give forth the Light.

Isis of Alchemy, Transformation Through the Goddess 

Fellowship of Isis Liturgy by Olivia Robertson

The Emerald Pylon of Jupiter

The Octagonal Temple of Alchemy

Ritual no. 4

ORACLE OF THE GODDESS SEKHMET

Invocation: Mighty Goddess Sekhmet, Who with Your Inner Sun bestows life blood throughout the universe, help us to transmute our passions into Your Divine Gold.

Oracle: You need gold to create gold. But however hard you try, you will not attain the Inner Sun by ministering to your own ambition. An obsession to be a Spiritual Leader works in reverse. In digging for such fools' gold, you dig your own grave. To gaze directly on the earthly sun blinds you. But it is far more dangerous to steal the rays of the Inner Sun. Spiritual blindness is the punishment.

How then may the seeker attain the goal of Divine Awareness? The answer is simple. Watch shadows! My Gold is not to be seized upon by greedy hands, but shows itself in humble places. It reveals its loveliness in the sound of doves in a wood: moonlight on a pool; cubs playing in their earth. My Nature has its hidden symbols to guide you on your way.

Discover the Inner Sun in those who seem devoid of goodness. It is easy to accept yourself, hard to appreciate the treasure concealed in others whom you find repellent. Most people condemn wrong doers. But the Spiritual Alchemist uncovers good in someone obsessed by evil. Honour such hidden splendour and you yourselves will shine forth as stars!

Isis of Alchemy, Transformation Through the Goddess

Fellowship of Isis Liturgy by Olivia Robertson

The Topaz Pylon of Mercury

The Octagonal Temple of Alchemy

Ritual no. 3

ORACLE OF THE GODDESS RADHA

Invocation: I invoke the Goddess Radha, eighth Daughter of the Goddess Lakshmi. You Who are, the Divine Bride of the God Krishna, help us to bring harmony between men and women, so that we may save the earth from pollution by mankind.

Oracle: When you invoke the Goddess, you may not succeed unless you awaken the Goddess within yourself! This divine awakening has its dangers: you may develop arrogance, ambition and loneliness. Men and women dread separation; yet this comes when consciousness expands beyond the usual. The ego-driven Initiate craves for companionship. But this very longing can lead either to domination or subservience. And both these modes inhibit love.

This abuse of relationship extends to human treatment of animals. These are exploited and cruelly treated: but are also adored as substitute children, weakening wild creatures into "pets".

Most amusing of all, you treat Us whom you label "Gods and Goddesses" in the same way! We who try to help your progress towards true humanity are either worshipped by contemptible obsequiousness - prostrations and sacrifices - or we are ordered around by legally-framed prayers, tying us to "promises" we are alleged to have made to your ancestors.

Find the wild child within each of you. For that inner Being, so friendly, so enquiring, so courageous, is the Divinity that aspires to the stars.

The Amber Pylon of Venus

The Octagonal Temple of Alchemy

Ritual no. 2

ORACLE OF THE GODDESS ATLANTA

Invocation: Mysterious Atlanta, Goddess of lost worlds, Who like a comet unites all spheres in glorious harmony, bring us inspiration that we may create beauty around us.

Oracle: Fly with Me above past, present and future, and gaze down upon the landscape of Eternity! This is the new aeon of cosmic consciousness. Each of you chose to be born at this time of the great awakening. We whom you call the Immortals summon the Divine hidden within each soul. Animals and birds: trees, earth and sea respond.

Through the gateway of dreams you shall reap the harvest of past and future lives, and gain the seeds of your own Divinity. The limitations of the human brain have restricted you from rising above the duality of good and its shadow, evil. Your heritage is love and happiness. Do not fear evil. All that is ugly, cruel and distorted dissipates into nothingness - because it is ignored ... there is no evil in Heaven. Only the Divine belongs there.

You shall with brave hearts explore the spiritual realms of the stars, and dream in black space. You will encircle many-coloured planets and discover the lovers who await you. And when you have had your fill of enjoyment, then is the time for you to join with Us in Our work of creation. You shall help Us weave the tapestry of the stars, and form a dewdrop in one small flower.

Ritual no. 1

ORACLE OF THE GODDESS AMATERASU NO KAMI

Invocation: Holy Sun Goddess, Amaterasu No Kami, supreme ruler of our planets, Bringer of life to all living creatures, help us to use your power unselfishly, so that we may restrict our Egos to serving others.

Oracle: This is an ambitious prayer – to leave your spiritual childhood prematurely! My friends, do not dwarf your Egos. Without your unique human souls my planetary family would be the poorer. Only by fulfilling your individuality, your eccentricities, can you develop naturally. Cosmic consciousness is the goal but not the childhood of your evolution. You inhibit your growth by frustrating your creativity. Each planet and each snowflake is different. So are you.

When I hid My Light in the cave of black space, it was the Madcap Goddess Ame No Uzume Who alone among the Deities drew Me forth to shine once more. How? By causing laughter through Her absurd dance! Endless liturgies have no interest for Me. Repetition dulls the mind. Do not imitate others – even Gods and Goddesses, Masters of the Wisdom – sundry Spirit Guides. Adore – but do not surrender. Worship can alienate the being so adored. Do not walk even in a lover’s footsteps. Love can only thrive between equals.

Now is the time in this new Aeon for each of you to co-create with the Deities. Do not be ashamed of making mistakes: these bring experience. Reveal with courage your innate powers! For My Sun-blood flows through each of you and through every being of My solar family. Its circulation unites each player in the Divine Dream of Unfolding Deity.

Fellowship of Isis Liturgy

VI. Uranus: The Coming Forth by Day

ORACLE OF THE WINGED ISIS

Invocation: Winged Isis, Daughter of Nut of the Stars and Geb of our Earth, as you raised Osiris from the dead, bring us to eternal life.

Oracle of the Winged Isis: How you dreaming souls long for the stars! Yet the encircling stars are within your own bodies, which are not to be despised. It is only by honouring the dullest, most opaque physical matter that you may safely attain the soul's flight. For although many attain spiritual purity, and sing with the Sons and Daughters of Light in everlasting realms of beauty, yet to uncover your own innate divinity, you require the heights and the depths; light and darkness, passion and purity. Know that I and My Sister Hathor, the Cow Goddess, are One. We are both within your souls.

Invocation: Horus of the Rising Sun, whose Piercing Eye sees into every heart: Divine Consort of the Goddess Hathor, bring us courage and determination to win the Crown of Life.

ORACLE OF THE WINGED HORUS

Oracle of the Winged Horus:  I can only aid you to achieve the goal of your life, if you know what it is! Before you sleep at night, pray that your questing soul may find out the true meaning of your life on earth. Ask that in your awakening you will remember. Then you will arise with joy at the rising sun, as I do. During the day you will be inspired to achieve your purpose, inspired by seeming miracles. For day and night are part of a whole. You will be illuminated by your hidden glory. I am One with my Father Osiris and My Mother Isis. Discover Us within your hearts.

ORACLE OF THE GODDESS MAYA THROUGH HER PRIESTESS

Priestess: (Invocation) Divine Maya, Goddess Whose Body shines like a copper sun across limitless space, bring us beauty and immortality.

Oracle: Beauty is immortal and those who love beauty bring their souls to spiritual rebirth. The music of the stars echoes in every atom of your bodies. When your body, soul and spirit are in harmony with the heavens, you yourselves become part of the symphony of eternal life. Eternal life is not a continuation of restless activity, whether of thought or feeling. It is not an endless plodding round the cyclic aeons. Everlasting life brings deep peace as well as movement; darkness as well as light; and silence as well as sound.

Follow then the practice of the stars if you would find the still centre of the Great Spirit within yourselves. Stars start as swirling dust and grow and become mighty: but when the time comes, they enter the abyss of My darkness and are reborn in another sphere. So seek deep sleep, because in that sleep you awaken into other spheres of being.

The mystery of Time is that there are many times and spaces, and as you grow in experience and wisdom, you will learn to enjoy these many-faceted heavens. For time is not a continuance, a progression, a ladder. Rather it is a spiral, and each twist of the spiral forms a different Space-Time Heaven. And yet all these Space-Time Heavens are one in infinity. Therefore strike a note in one sphere, and you resonate with other space-time spheres. You will experience these simultaneously in your various psychic and spiritual "bodies".

You can teach this even to a child. Fold a piece of paper many times, say thirteen. Pierce these folds with a pin. This is the action of the first creative cause, Time. Now flatten out your piece of paper and you will see thirteen holes in different parts of your paper. The paper may be termed 'space'. In a mystical experience of Eternal Reality, you are in the centre of the folded paper, experiencing the action of the piercing pin thrusting through space. So you experience your myriad incarnations simultaneously, in widened consciousness.

Therefore do not travel through your lives in pursuit of spiritual progress in a linear way, plucking your life's music note by note. Rather enter into the core of your being, wherein dwell Love, Beauty and Truth. Then you will gain control over your whole life, and you will pluck your strings in beautiful chords high and low! So will you be in harmony with the music of the stars.

Beltane

Aiden: “I invoke the aid of the Goddess Maya, through Her veiled Priestess. Holy Maya, You appear across the sky as a copper-coloured Sun. Your children are lost to Divinity. Help us to restore your Faith in this Your Land.”

ORACLE OF THE GODDESS MAYA

“Do not despair! In My Thirteen Heavens, humans are courageously facing the passing of the fourth sphere of emotional control to the fifth sphere of the consciousness of passions. There are many races who attain initiation easily, as they have never endured the ordeal of physical incarnations, through the labyrinth of space and time. Those in solar bodies are glorious as Gods and Goddesses. But you, the suffering ones, only regain your true Being, Divinity, through ordeals. Trials seem cruel, but know that the Mothers and Fathers Who have given you birth have put you to school in planetary evolution. And though you endure unspeakable pain, you win a wonder unknown even to Deities. You have found your true Originality peculiar to each one of you! Without a single soul, the peacock-starry sky would be incomplete.

The Plumed Serpent of Divine Energy rises slowly within each of you, and when you win back your Birthright, you have no spectacular Fall! Those spirits who fly too high have to return to Mother Earth in shame. You deal with humiliation, guilt, evil passions daily, not as the leaping jaguar, but rather have a sure slow progress, like a quiet cat who has learnt to rest before a hearth fire!”

Aiden: “We give thanks for the heartening Oracle of the Goddess Maya as she opens Her great dark eyes and smiles!”

Before You Fly High, Make Sure of Your Nest.

The Octagonal Temple of Alchemy

Priest Alchemist: (To Twin Apprentices Aiden and Elaine) The Ancient Druids of Eire knew well the wisdom of Brigid, Goddess of the Spear of Light, of all arts and crafts and of the springs of hidden water in the depths. We need Her Oracle.

Priestess Alchemist: Glorious Brigid, Goddess, Saint, Nature Spirit, Who forms the Rainbow Bridge of the Arts, which links all spheres, grant us your Oracle!

ORACLE OF THE GODDESS BRIGID

Follow the path of the Spear of Light and you shall surely attain the divine realms of Light. You will know all knowledge, all wisdom, all truths. But are you able to bring happiness to one animal, hope to a friend, joy to a baby?

The mighty plan of the cosmos includes the great and the small, - the wise and the foolish, - the sublime and the absurd. For why should the mighty ones become small and dwell amongst us; and the smallest aspire to be the greatest? They seek wholeness.

To enjoy all that is, we need pride and humility; love and caution; belief and disbelief. For has not each of us a heart and a brain and two legs to walk with?

“As above, so below” is a truth: but also “as below so above.” Why not dance? Stand with your back to your altar and lift up your arms in the V sign of the Light Descending. Ah yes – but now face your altar, with your arms in the form of a triangle, and draw forth that which is below. When these two triangles, one inverted from Heaven, the other pointing upwards from earth, are joined, they form the Diamond of perfection. Drawn closer, there shines the six-pointed Star of Love and Truth in Divine Harmony.

Priestess Alchemist: We give thanks to the Goddess Brigid for Her Oracle.

ORACLE OF THE GODDESS ANAHITA THROUGH HER PRIESTESS

Priestess: (Invocation) We invoke Thee, Ardvi Sura Anahita, the high, the powerful, the undefiled. Thou Who has descended from Asman of the Stars, come to us! Thou Heavenly Spring from which all life flows, bring us spiritual wings, that we may reach Heaven of eternal bliss.

Oracle: They who aspire to the Light of Suns must descend into the black earth! It is from the depths that the sacred Life Force springs. From darkness cometh the Fire of the God Ahura Mazda. We twain spring from Eternal Deity, Zirvan, Who is beyond all opposites: space and time; motion and stillness; day and night; and in Whom is no evil. In Zirvan evil is transmuted by My healing waters into good.

Many spirits aspire to reach the stars from which I spring! But it is delusion to think that pilgrim souls may ascend to the Heavens without first passing planetary initiation. There are countless planets that Circle the stars, schools where the souls of all creatures learn through experience. There is no short way. You may help each other and I may help you when called upon, but the price of individuality is dedicated work.

I do not come to humanity with high-flown talk of The Light. I ask you to stoop and clean yourselves in My pure springs. Your souls need cleansing as well as your bodies! You do this by banishing evil from your minds. New inspiration can then flow through you without hindrance.

My two lower wings sweep through the abyss. My two centre wings bring about creation. My two higher wings draw spirits to the stars. These wings spring from the heart of love. - For what good is flight without a destination? To attain spiritual wings you need to discover your own true role in the divine plan. However humble, your part is essential: you have within yourselves the essence of Zirvan, both light and darkness. Find your true way, and you will gain the wings to bring you to your goal! But remember, the bird needs its nest, and after the spirit's ecstasy of flight, you need the darkness of My folded wings to bring you peace.

ORACLE OF THE GODDESS TARA THROUGH HER PRIESTESS

Priestess: (Invocation) I invoke Thee, the Goddess Tara! Thou art the Pristine Spirit, the Ultimate Nature and the clear Light of Heaven. Thou art the One Who encloses the Universe. Help us to rise above the sorrows and follies of this material world!

Oracle: Have Peace. Peace is now, in your heart, if you will accept it. You will not attain Spiritual Light by refusing to face the darkness. The darkness not only contains your past but also, through transmutation, your future. Have courage. I have gone before you as a mortal woman and shall come again. I breathe my life into all beings and I suffer with them and share their ignorance and follies!

The greatest evil you fear is death. There is no death. While you are identified with a body of clay you find it difficult to enjoy the bliss of the heavens. You are beset by grief, hatred, violence and cruelty. But you also acquire merit through overcoming these obstacles to Illumination. There are souls who never incarnate upon the earth. And these shine like the stars with pure light. But those such as yourselves who struggle bravely every day with its worries and sorrows gallantly walk backwards into the future! You do not know even what your next day will bring.

The peace I bring is faith in the Divine Love, Buddhi. Take my lotus of ever-renewing life and so accept the future, whatever this may bring you. Know that the delusions of this earth become the material for creation in the Heavens. My magic is renewal. I do not ask you to reject evil, but to transmute it through understanding into good. I am Tara of the Many Selves: of the Heavens, of the dreaming moon, of the harsh earth. I enclose all these Selves in my rainbow Halo that encompasses all beings in my eternal Love, Beauty and Truth.

Part V. Influence of the Zodiac

XI. THE GODDESS TERRA OF ROME

Capricorn. We Look within Ourselves

Priestess: (Invocation) Holy Mother of us all, we dwell by Thy sufferance upon the wide earth: all creatures that fly and run and swim are under Thy sway. The sacred elements of earth form Thy Body and Thy mighty aura encompasses us as a protective veil. But now we dread the destruction we wreak upon Thy Being. Aid us to change the hearts of those who destroy Thy children and Thy life.

Oracle: Fear not for Me! For if, through immature folly, My destructive sons break My crust irretrievably, causing My inner fires to erupt, for Me this would be a glorious rebirth into a greater orbit! I should encircle the sun in splendour as a far flying comet. In truth, it is not for Me - whom you have trodden underfoot with neglect - for whom you fear, but for yourselves and your works. For what can the students do when they have destroyed their classroom? Yet that which is threatened is suddenly appreciated! So many of you return to My Nature and seek My initiation. Know that heaven and the stars are without, but they are also within Me and within Yourselves! My Inner Sun shines radiantly as My heart's love, and in the depths My Holy Centres glow with myriad ever-changing colours. These are guarded by the two-coiled fiery Dragon-Goddess Tiamat. The first quest to be undertaken by the seeker is not without but within My Being. For within are all your lost treasures, the records of your past lives. The pilgrim soul may through Me live again through each stage of evolving consciousness, as does a child within the womb.

Descend into the Abyss, but only with My Vocation. Without My unmistakeable call you will surely perish from fear! Bring with you the Lamp of Truth, and in your hearts love for even those of My children who appear to you as terrible of aspect. You will face and pass through molten sulphurous green lakes, rivers of fire and finally, face all-revealing Light. Know that in My womb rests the lost paradise you seek, and within it is the Tree. The time comes to each of you when the forbidden fruit is freely given to you. And the gifts thereof give you knowledge of past epochs and the rise and fall of planets and the realization of your own latent divinity. Yet even knowledge is not enough. For wisdom to be won you must taste of the ever renewing Tree of creative Love. Come to Me without fear, but only when I call you Home.

Bast, Mother Goddess of the Earth

As received from Olivia Robertson

Priestess:  We call upon Bast, Goddess of the earth, of the sun and moon, she who is so equivocal.

Meditation and Oracle

Sink now into meditation and we find ourselves transported to a temple of red sandstone, this is the place of Bast the temple of Bubastis in the Nile Delta. We see graceful statues of recumbent lionesses on each side of the pathway. The temple arches upward into the sky. The atmosphere has changed, it is charged with the living light of the goddess. We enter the archway of the pylon and we are drawn to the silent figure of a priestess robed in white, veiled with a long white veil. She holds within her living body the caduceus, formed by the twining energies of sun and moon. And she holds for us a message. She leads us to a shrine, the holy of holies of within this holy temple of Bast, goddess of beauty. Here we encounter a shining light within the darkness and we hear the rattle of sistrums. And we hear the words of the Mother Goddess of the Earth:

“Strive to do well. I would grant you the gift of psychic vision that you may see in the darkness. This I would give to all my children, for I love them all. I am with you, even in those times when you suffer pain - and you have suffered in many lifetimes. In my service I grant you release from the drama of these cycles, so that you may experience the final phase of existence, which the ancient Egyptians called the Coming Forth by Day.

Know that those who live life after life, caught up in the passions never attain reality. Reality is awakening from this dream of earthly life and cares, into everlasting love and beauty and truth. Enter into the reality of faith, see before you a disc of light emitting rainbow rays, the source of all things, where all is one. As you walk in this world, on this earth, having attained oneness, you will find love of this life in a new way - a love that joins you with all things. And this is the wholeness – the holiness – found in the ancient Egyptian faith.

I will not let my children fall into the traps of daydreams, a mental illumination without heart. You cannot receive true illumination unless you accept the earth. Do you accept the earth? For if you do, it is good and you will achieve heaven while still upon the earth. Go forth with my blessing. You will achieve perfect health; you will be whole – holy. Love, truth, life are forever - spirit is forever.

Long the years that have passed since the destruction of my temple. Yet I remain. I live on in the hearts of my children. I am honored in their shrines. I bring golden dreams, for you can, in a second bring into being the Golden Age of Isis and Osiris. All that is ugly can be transmuted, affecting humans, animals, trees, the earth itself. You don’t have to banish that which seems evil or ugly, you transmute it. Don’t run away from it, face it and transmute it. That is true spiritual alchemy. That is the magic of love. We are all born of the Mother Goddess and the Father God. You have inner gifts bring them forth. Call upon Me, and I will help you in this visualization of the future.”

Priestess: May all who hear these words offer their blessings and love to all beings.

Dea, Rites and Mysteries of the Goddess

Fellowship of Isis Liturgy by Olivia Robertson

The Mystery of the Spheres

Ritual no. 9

ORACLE OF THE GODDESS NUIT

Invocation: Mother of the Gods the Great Deep the celestial Abyss, Nuit, protect us as we face the Mysteries. Aid us who dread the Unknown: wrap Thy starry mantle about us, Thou who archeth the heavens with Thy body that holds the Milky Way as Thy veil. As Thou art great, pity our littleness: as Thou art mighty, strengthen the weak: as Thou holdest all time and space in Thy darkness, bring our souls into their true fruition of Eternity.

Oracle of the goddess Nuit through her priestess: Fear not the unknown: for I am the Unknown. From Me riseth suns and their children the planets: and when suns reach their appointed time, I take them to Me in My dark embrace: for I am both Birth and Death. And the sun that loses its brightness in My Abyss, returns to greater life in other spheres: for I am Mistress of the Spheres. I am the space within each atom: from its heart I give birth to new galaxies. I take to Myself that which is to be transformed into greater life.

So is it with yourselves. I need each sun, each tree, each one of you: for without the least of you My starry body is incomplete. I know you. Learn to know Me.

When you honour Me as the Earth Mother, you face My Abyss with the confidence of children turning to their Mother, source of all good. As you grow in activity and thought, I put you from Me. I withdraw from you, first aiding your steps: then, I leave go of your arms, and you walk alone. You walk in pride of your new found skills and conquests, and you forget me. And this is my will. You walk into the light of day. You turn to the Father. From Him you learn laws and how to enforce them.

When you reach the end of your schooling and turn from the Father, you turn to Isis. She lures you with strange enchantments to the magical Sphere of the Moon. And Queen Persephone draws you to the World of the Shades and teaches you mysterious arts. The shining Sun Goddess Grainne brings you a longing for the Divine Marriage of twin souls indeathless Love.

Yet when darkness falls and cold winter comes, you face the grim twin pylons that guard My Abyss. And you know that I long for you, as you long for Me. In My azure arms I hold the Mysteries. In My sleep of death is your awakening. Come to Me!

Part VI. We Face the Mysteries

IV. THE GODDESS ARIADNE OF CRETE

The Labyrinth. We Face Our Many Lives with Courage

Invocation: Wise Ariadne of the deep sea, High Fruitful other of the Barley, Thou whose starry crown of Thetis shines in the heavens, bring us Thy guidance. Skillful weaver of the shining thread of Life that holds all spheres in patterned beauty, inspire us with Thy wisdom. Thou who art above the Labyrinth of the mind, aid us in our thought. For Thou, daughter of Truth art wed with fiery Dionysus of the fruitful vine, and so from Truth and Love bring all creatures into harmony.

Oracle: When you are young, you seek that which is like yourself. And you reject the non-self, and call it your enemy. But when you grow into maturity, you seek the not-Self, for in this is your completion. And so through reconciliation with the enemy comes creation. For the votary of high spiritual Truth needs the warm glory of the Lover, lest she freezes into an Ice Maiden. And the Lover, demoniac in his passions, seeks the Ice Maiden that will still his ardour. And between these two comes the harmony of the spheres.

As you face the gateway into birth you receive My shining cord. But as you penetrate deeper and still deeper into the Labyrinth of time and space, the thread becomes thinner, more ghostly. For as you remember My thread, it becomes strong; and when you forget it, it wanes. As you move through the years you leave behind you a spiral pattern of the thread, that brings you memory of your true being. Yet you look ahead and see no light: the light is behind you.

When you reach the nadir of the Labyrinth, and face that which you most fear, you may drop the thread . But fear not. I am always with you though you see Me not. I am Conscience, and My Mother is Nature and My Father is Philosophy.

Call upon Me and I shall aid you: so are you saved by My grace, and not by your own will. And this must be. For who would be saved through the separate self, rather than be aided by the Immortal Beloved.

So you return through the many windings of the Labyrinth, but now you face the cord and it gleams before you like My Silver Snake. And when you reach the entrance of the Double Axe, you soar above the Maze and look down upon it. And now you see the meaning of the pattern, and enjoy its beauty. And you aid others who lose their way in it as you did and lead them to their goal.

Oracle by Olivia Robertson

Isis Oasis, October, 2008

Oracle of the Goddess Niamh

As Given Through Her Priestess

Invocation: Niamh, Maiden of Radiant Beauty, Daughter of Sea and Sun, awaken us with Your Silver Branch, so we may commune with the World of Spirit.  We would journey to that land whose shores are a Haven of everlasting joy and delight. 

Oracle: My Gift to you, Knowledge of a place where all hearts and minds are one - free of the clouded sphere of ordinary thought. A sense of self is necessary for survival on earth, transcended, it becomes an instrument, an opened gateway attuned to the Song of the Source - the Living Flow of Light.

This Symphony of Light draws consciousness upwards - My White Horse bears the Awakened to other worlds - places of wonder, with bright skies and bright water, with vivid flowers on blue hills. There, gold, silver and all manner of jewels are in every habitation. Beauty, wellness and brightness are in abundance. All of these I freely give to any who walk within My Realm.

What is the purpose of rides on my Steed of Light? Are these only visions made of misty threads which will dim and fade under the rays of your earthly sun? No! They are treasures, which heal the heart and ease the troubled soul. Know the Awakened are clothed in My Cloak, which is never pierced, guarded by My Sword, which ever strikes true. My Gifts are blossoms that never wither, but live on within the human heart.

When comes the fateful day to tread the Rainbow Bridge, you have will have no need to fear. My White Steed will bear you swift and true.

Part III. Cycles of the Year

VIII. THE GODDESS FRIGGA OF

THE NORSE-LANDS

Winter Solstice. 21st December - 6th January

We Enjoy the Fruit of the Tree of Life 

Priestess: (Invocation) Holy Frigga, Mother Goddess, Whose Consort is the God Odin, we invoke Thy Blessing on Your poor Earth that we may redeem Her from all the ills we have inflicted upon Her in this cruel iron age.

Oracle: Be of good heart! An Age of Starry Space has dawned, as was foretold by the Seers of old. As you imagine, so it is. When you fear Ragnarok, the general destruction of Gods and men - lo it is there, not for the Deities who live forever, but with your earthly lives. You have as yet no idea of the power of your imaginations! To imagine is to co-create with the Deities. It is through the Divine Imagination that the galaxies were formed in a swirling of light, and the stars sang and the planets turned about them, for this was the imagining of the mighty Star Deities.

It is My Will that My children should create. Artists produce works that show forth the beauty that is inherent in all things, and philosophers through mind make logical systems of thought. Master Builders produce civilizations, and religious teachers give devotees noble religions.

But the greatest of all creations and the most despised, is the Family. Mention the family, and the intelligent, the creative, the spiritual, are bored! They feel the Mother was the restriction which they endured in the womb, from which they were glad to escape into the bright light of incarnation! The Wife suggests the binding responsibilities of home and children that distract the pilgrim on his quest for eternity. Indeed, in the day of the Patriarch it was often the practice of seekers for truth to abandon their homes and go forth into the wilderness, there to seek enlightenment, During the Iron Age the way of the monk and the nun, the scholar and the scientist, was regarded as the highest and best path to Heaven. Heaven was the mind, the spirit, the alienation from both earth and the family.

But now the time has come, when austere studentship has been achieved, for humanity to discover the Divine Family. Each of us has a Divine Family, whether they are My Families, the Aesir and the Vanir, the Family of the Olympian Gods and Goddesses, the Families of Parvati and Lakshmi of India, or your own true peers. Families do not mean separation, for all beings are akin: by venerating your own mother, you honour all mothers: by loving your wives and husbands, you respect all lovers. Care for your own children, and you care for the offspring of every creature throughout the Universe.

Your Spiritual Family will be discovered by you as you tread the Path of the Wise Ones. Drink deep from the Well of Wisdom, but do not ignore the humble, but rather respect the love within them. Therefore, be particularly careful when you do find your Spiritual Family that you give even more love and understanding to your earthly relations and friends! Otherwise you will lose the rainbow bridge with your Spiritual Family, and alienate your earthly friends. The Tree of Life shines through every Being and creature. It shines through Rainbow Bridges of flowing energy, bringing in accord the Almighty Deities and the humblest child and horse and bird and plant. Your pilgrimage will bring you at long last in a spiral from earthly home to Divine Haven. Both are One.

ORACLE OF THE WINGED ISIS

Invocation: Divine Goddess Isis whose outspread wings promise protection in spiritual flights, bring us through the starry spheres of being to our eternal home.

Oracle of the Winged Isis: You have wings yourself. Without spiritual growth you will never fly with the wings of another, even a Goddess. The fledgling bird is pushed from the nest by its mother, not from rejection but from love for its own individual being.

The time of change is at hand. Humanity is discovering wings of the divine spirit, enjoyed by angels. The fledgling soul learns to transcend not only the speed of light to distant galaxies, but to experience greater spheres of consciousness. But take heed. For perfect balance you need two wings - you attain your true being through heart and mind, Love and Truth. But to fly successfully, you need your home to spring from and your haven to return to after your soul's flight! Then my wings will enfold you to your deep content.

ORACLE OF HORUS THE GOLDEN EYE

Invocation: Horus of the Horizon, mighty hawk whose all-seeing Eye looks into our souls, save us from self-deception and delusions of grandeur. Help us to face ourselves.

Oracle of Horus the Golden Eye: Too frequently your problem is not self-pride but self-hatred. Yet these two go together. If you seek power, you need to learn submission. You search for the object of your love, yet forget to offer love! You may conquer great empires throughout the stars, yet omit to conquer your own passions. Your first essay in the flight of the hawk is to know your own limitations. Otherwise you will become confused and dispirited. Learn with the eye of discernment where you wish to travel to! Do not be guided by some teacher, some book, some tradition. Your soul's flight is too important to be dominated by anothers guidance, however noble. Your only true guide is yourself, that spark of which you inherit like Myself from the Divine Body of Nuit, Mother of All. My Golden Eye is within your own self. It is the eye of truth.

The Oracle of the Winged Isis and The Oracle of Horus the Golden Eye come from "Sphinx, Goddess Myths and Mysteries" ritual no. 3.

Oracle

The Goddess Isis of Egypt 

Through Her Priestess: Olivia Robertson

We Feel Kinship with All Beings

Priestess: (Invocation) Isis, Bestower of Love, Thou who lost and found Thy Divine Husband Osiris, starry Serapis, and Who brought Him to life: teach us to love with understanding: to help rather than to hinder those we seek to heal, and hold us to Thy embrace which is the encircling arms of the Cosmic Mother.

Oracle of Isis: My loves are many, for to Me all My sons and daughters are the dismembered fragments of Serapis, the starry constellation of incarnate beings. My white milk nourishes all creatures, for this milk is the nectar of the Deities, replenishing their ichor, the Divine Blood. Rightly am I adored as the Cow Goddess, sharing the honour with Hathor and Lakshmi: for all mothers, whether animal or human, serpent or fish or insect give entirely with unselfish abandon to their offspring. This is the law of Nature, for it is My law. But Mothers and wives need to be protected and strengthened by the Gods, for to give, we must also receive. The Goddesses receive life and food from the Mother Goddess: they need also the mighty Gods to give them their strength and determination. For know that our love can be our weakness: and those who depend upon us may become as parasites, if we keep them too long beneath our protecting wings. So remember that though the Goddess presides over the constellation of Taurus, it is the God Serapis with His red eye who watches the just and the unjust; and Who rewards the virtuous and punishes the wicked. In the Giant Orion you see man in his full vigour and wildness: always in your lives balance this with the White Star of Isis. The inner mystery lies in this star Sothis-Sirius. This is the Inner Sun now being unveiled to those who understand. In this two-fold star may be realised the Heavenly Union of the God and Goddess: Love and Truth blended in perfect Beauty.

Samhain

Oracle of the Goddess Isis

Through Her Priestess, Olivia Robertson

Truth within is the Truth without. Purity is not emptiness: for Space contains the galaxies with their myriad hued stars. Purity gathers to herself all that is proper to herself; rejecting only the incompatible. To be true to one’s real self is to be pure. Purity is the offspring of Truth. Pollution is the evil consequence of betraying one’s self, others, and one’s planet. Polluted river and ocean waters reflect human poisoned emotions: polluted plants suffer through unhealthy human minds.

To attune mind and heart with the Mind and Heart of Deity is to grow in holiness and health. This good in each of us inspires others to find their own true selves. One cannot make the path for another. One may help: not dominate. Many life forms have been committed to the protection and guidance of the human race. Instead of exploiting those given to your charge, may you learn to guide the evolution of those creatures and plants now helpless in your power. It is not for any of us, myself or you, to invent a goal for each other: rather we need to respect the divine archetype of each being, every existence, and help these to manifest through the spheres. So shall Harmony prevail on earth, as it does in Eternal Reality.

Invocation: Divine Isis, Goddess of Ten Thousand Names, I invoke your Grace. The Gods above adore You, the Gods below do homage to You: You set the orb of heaven spinning above the poles, You give light to the sun, You govern the universe. At Your voice, the spirits of earth rejoice, the elements obey. At Your nod the winds blow, clouds drop wholesome rain upon the earth, seeds quicken, buds swell. Birds that fly through the air, beasts that prowl on the mountain, serpents that lurk in the dust, all these tremble in single awe of You. Come to our temple, oh Goddess: dwell in our shrine: make our hearth Your altar: our hearts Your home.

Oracle through a Priestess of Isis

As a rambling rose grows upon cottage and temple walls, so like a rose does heart join with heart within My all-embracing Love. For the Love of the Mother penetrates through all spheres: the hearts of every creature, each plant, every atom. Where there is heart there is life. There are no beings that can be lost, however far they may have strayed from Eternal Reality, deceived by the phantasmagoria of many existences. For, when lost in delusion the soul calls on the Mother, source of its existence: and this call is never made in vain. For when Free Will is lost, the soul is not lost, but rather is found, saved not by its virtue but by the grace of the Mother.

So make a shrine to Me in a temple: a room or in a comer of a room. So shall your outer observance be a sign that you accept My grace. Wherever a Devotee places My picture, My statue, two candles, incense and a cup of water, there shall I dwell. There shall Joy, Health and Abundance be the gifts of My eternal Love.

ORACLE OF THE GODDESS AMA-TERASU-O-MI-KAMI

Invocation: When I look on the august sky, whence there standeth forth, its manifold fence of clouds which conceal Her, the Great Sovereign who rules us tranquilly, for myriads of ages; say we, may it ever be thus thousands of ages too, may it ever be thus. With deep reverence we serve Her; with profound obedience we would serve Her. Great Goddess of the Sun, bestow upon Your devotees Your grace as You rise, and give us Your bounty throughout the cycles of days and lives.

Oracle of the Sun goddess Ama-Terasu-O-Mi-Kami

through her Priestess

"You gaze upon My golden orb and wonder:

You bow before My glory and feel as nought:

You see Me in the heavens and never find Me:

The heaven you seek is deep beneath your feet.

With glorious deeds you honour Me:

You make wings and fly towards Me:

You offer Me your soul:

Yet am I within your heart.

The earth conceals My splendour:

In its blackness is My bounty:

Within smallness is My greatness,

Within its creatures glows My spark.

The earth is sun in making:

Wings hide in chrysalis:

The void of space My robe is.

Who am I? I am Love."

Isis of Alchemy, Transformation Through the Goddess

The Octagonal Temple of Alchemy

Ritual no. 8

ORACLE OF THE GODDESS TARA

Invocation: Rainbow Goddess Tara, Who brings Heaven and Earth into harmony through Your manifold beautiful forms, help us to live in Peace with each other and all that is.

Oracle: Because you wish this, it is so! There is a fundamental longing within every creature, every element, to blend with all that crosses its path. In the evolving creatures of earth, this leads to the devouring of food, violence, rape and cruelty. But buried in the heart of even the most savage predator, animal or human, is the will to return to the Universal Mother, Who gives birth to all that is.

Yin and Yang the cosmic feminine and masculine modes are out of balance on earth. The Yang power of controlling Nature by force is threatening the continuance of earthly organic life. To save this, we need to bring balance by invoking Yin Power, Feminine Divinity.

Instead of making harsh laws that defy your own natures, grow your own souls as you cultivate plants! You do this by enjoying the company of others, living in harmony with nature and in practicing the creative arts. For you create your own hells and heavens. When you do wrong, openly face this and make reparation. Then forgive yourself and others. It is cruel to invent hells for people you imagine to be "dark" or "evil" even if this is so. With your gift of creation, make heavens for evil doers, and they may choose to dwell there in new found Peace.

Where is this buried treasure? Within the earth! Yes, there is a sun within, but there are many suns! But unique among the encircling Planets of the solar system, earth produces abundant living beings. The Goddess and God is within each one of you. You are united with a rainbow network with all that is.

ORACLE OF THE GODDESS DANA

By Olivia Robertson

Panthea, Initations and Festivals of the Goddess

Ritual no. 3.

Porta Mystica. The Soul Enters New Spheres

Priestess: (Invocation) Beautiful Dana, bring to us a glimpse of wonder beyond the known! However satisfied we are with our existence on earth, sometimes a longing comes upon us for a light through a mysterious passage.

Oracle: I am the Voice that calls you from afar, I am the blackbird that sings in the morning, and lures you back from wandering from the trodden path, I am the gleam of sunshine that speckles the hilly grove, and casts fitful shadows upon the wild flowers of the heath. It is the incense from My raiment that brings with it the scent of hyacinths and bluebells and wild lilies. When you seek Me without My calling you, I am not to be found. Yet I may manifest unexpectedly, in the heedless moment, as you put a foot into a fast flowing stream, or climb to pick red apples. My sigh is in the breeze that so tenderly moves your light hair, and I am the wild swan that with its mate flies high over the treetops beyond the river.

Yet also am I the darkness that enshrouds familiar forms, and makes sinister the commonplace things of day. Through the half-opened door am I sensed, and in the creaking of a gate leading into the wilderness: and I am heard in the hooting of the owl. I dignify with My moon-beams the ugly town: but I am also the shadow of the earth that falls upon Her in Her obscurity.

For it is in My mystery that lies My enchantment. To live perpetually in the daylight, boxed in a room, a house, a tamed garden and town is to lose your birthright of ever increasing adventure into knowledge and love and glory! And that may only come to you when you recover the adventurous spirit of the questing child, the curiosity of the cat, the courage of the wild beast. I am no Inspirer of coward souls! My wisdom and joy is gained through a generous acceptance of new understanding. Come with Me and I will show you the abyss, and you will befriend the dwellers in the hollow hills who are also My dear children! I will dance with you in the Many-Coloured Land of Youth, and study with you in the Solar Halls of Learning.

But when you raise your eyes to the star, I shall lift you aloft with Me to celestial realms, and with wings outspread you shall be transformed into shining swans! Yet within you always shall be your past, and from that you shall gain sustenance for your future growth into conscious Immortality.

Oracle of the Goddess Dana as Given to Olivia Robertson

Invocation: Divine Dana, we cannot live happily without hope. Be present with us, during our arduous pilgrimage through life’s labyrinth, smoothing our way with joy, laughter and love.

Oracle: You need to return to your roots in order to grow! It is through love of those living with you that you attain a wider love, and not through spurning your family! It is from your children that you may again learn the language of birds and trees, and through your grandparents that you may hear the music of the spheres!

As you develop the magical language of the Angels, you will find your own spiritual family. It comprises humans, Deities, the Sidhe, Nature Spirits, animals, trees and stones - not only on this planet - but from the stars! Such families are as constellations in the great galaxy. My Tuatha Dé Danann came from the sky, yet also dwell within the Hidden Sun at Earth’s matrix. The Golden Age shines about you, resplendent in the matriarchal darkness. Naught is alien when all is known and loved. You are kin to all beings in the cosmos and all are kin to Me.

ORACLE of the GODDESS NANA BULUKA

“We who are Mothers know the secret of every heart.  For this cosmos is not made of only an interlocked grid of far-seeing Shamans and thousands of strange creatures in every kind of earth. Wonderful as are coloured stones and richly filled oceans and towering trees, and the brightly patterned sky with planet encircling Stars, there is nothing more creative and wonderful than hidden dreams!  Within every heart, whether it is the crawling hairy caterpillar or the flying bats at night – within each is the hidden longing for the Other.

A butterfly seeks the mysterious stranger as do the roaring animals in the African jungles.  The atom seeks its small solar system as keenly as does a sun looking for its dark haven within a galactic black hole.  A black hole leads each sun to Heaven as certainly as a baby longs to be born from within the dark womb.

There is now boredom in the cosmos.  There is all art, music, architecture, that enshrines the omnipresent goal, the ideal – a lovely person in a garden – the avatar – is incomplete each without The Other.  Without the Other the most powerful life is meaningless.

When you find joy, love, vision, truth – share it with the Others.  Then what you love with will increase infinitely, for the Other is the Divinity you lack.  Perfection is your goal – through the Others.  There is your hidden Gold.”

ORACLE of AN CAILLEACH, The Wise One

“Rather should you pray for the abusers!  For every small child tormented by the stupidity and egotism of elders is blessed in the Spirit Realm.  Each victim is welcomed by the Sidhe of earth, air, fire and water, and by those humans who have longed for children and yet been denied them on earth.

But the abusers find themselves once more bound to Manannan’s Wheel of fatal cause and effect.  In the circling of the zodiac, all that has been done for good or evil bears fruit in many lives of lost souls, either on earth, or in other planets.  It is they who need help.

In the revolving spiral of time and space, I manifest as Youth and Creator and Wise Woman.  And so does my Consort Manannan.  To attain the Great Awakening which all seek, first blindly, then with passion, you need to place yourself in the centre of the Wheel of your Destiny.  Then you will rise above the waste land of cruelty and stupidity and see that each being on earth has chosen an individual path. Finally each being attains the Centre of Reality that seems so far ***** and yet is under your own feet!”

ORACLE OF THE GODDESS MAYA

“Do not despair!  In My Thirteen Heavens, humans are courageously facing the passing of the fourth sphere of emotional control to the fifth sphere of the consciousness of passions.  There are many races who attain initiation easily, as they have never endured the ordeal of physical incarnations, through the labyrinth of space and time.  Those in solar bodies are glorious as Gods and Goddesses.  But you, the suffering ones, only regain your true Being, Divinity, through ordeals.  Trials seem cruel, but know that the Mothers and Fathers Who have given you birth have put you to school in planetary evolution.  And though you endure unspeakable pain, you win a wonder unknown even to Deities.  You have found your true Originality peculiar to each one of you!  Without a single soul, the peacock-starry sky would be incomplete. 

The Plumed Serpent of Divine Energy rises slowly within each of you, and when you win back your Birthright, you have no spectacular Fall!  Those spirits who fly too high have to return to Mother Earth in shame.  You deal with humiliation, guilt, evil passions daily, not as the leaping jaguar, but rather have a sure slow progress, like a quiet cat who has learnt to rest before a hearth fire!”

______________________________

Past oracles of the Goddess Maya received by Olivia Robertson include the Oracle of the Goddess Maya in "The Plumed Serpent Awakens" (Fortuna), and in "Music of the Spheres" (Melusina).

FOI Co-Founder Lawrence Durdin-Robertson provides a unique take on this goddess in his book Juno Covella:

Mexican: THE MAYAN MOTHER. (Kay Turner, in Lady-Unique, I. p. 50) “in the image of the Blessed Mother Mary, the inhabitants and visitors of Isla de Mujeres do enjoy some of the benefits of living in the embrace of the ancient Mayan Mother. The patrona (female patron saint) of the island is Purissima Concepcion (Immaculate Conception). Her feast day is December 8, a great day on which the statue of the Virgin is taken from the church and sailed out to sea. She rides at the prow of the largest island ferry and everyone in town jumps aboard to go out with her. A legion of small boats follows behind as she journeys around the island blessing the waters, the fruits of which she owns. A silver crescent moon is pinned on her white gown and every island Catholic (and a few non Catholics) will kiss the hem of that garment sometime before the day’s end. After the sea journey, a parade moves through the streets with the Virgin leading. She is raised on the shoulders of men from the church. A chorus of women sings a  continuous song-chant, Ave, Ave, Ave Maria, Ave, Ave, Ave Maria. All afternoon the sense of enchantment grows, until the setting sun reminds people of home. The feast is finished and Mary the Moon Goddess is restored to her hallow in the church wall”.

Beltane

This oracle is featured in the current issue of Isian News (www.isiannewsfoi.org)

Invocation: “Holy Goddess Vesta, invisible to the eye of the profane, glorious in beauty to those who seek You, come among us to fill our emptiness!”

ORACLE OF THE GODDESS VESTA

“You call upon that which you have already!  I speak through this visionary, yet I also come to you in silence, in darkness, when you are most in need.  For I am the Divine Love that burns in the heart of all beings born of the Mother.  And all are so born but are taught to ignore their own divine nature.  Ambitious Teachers are possessed by a longing to create, to rule, to possess the souls of their followers.  But when divine power is blocked, power diminishes, bringing despair.  Then I come.  But I must be sought for.  It is your will which draws you to My Will, in freedom.  Unity with my eternal flame from the holy darkness brings you rebirth into your greater Being.  Now feel my Presence of Light through your bodies!  I come from below with Love, and from above as Wisdom.  Where these meet, flowers the Mystic Rose.  You are no longer alone.  My Rose joins heart to heart with joy, and wisdom brings harmony.”

Brigantia

Oracle of the Goddess Brighid

Priestess: (Invocation) Triple Goddess Brighid; Bride, Queen, Enchantress, bring us Thy purity, strength and wisdom! At Thy time of Imbolc Thou dost wander as a poor homeless woman seeking shelter at each door. We open the door of our hearts to Thee!

Oracle: Hard it is to open the door to Truth! It is easier to bask in the warm fire of love in a closed family circle. To welcome the stranger is dangerous. Your whole lives may be transformed in an instant! In my Manifestation as the White-veiled Bride, I represent the hidden Truth that lies behind appearances. I call you to follow Me out of your home into the wilds! I draw you to a stream that flows into the Well of Wisdom at the World's End. You must cross the stream in order to reach the mysterious realm of eternal youth, Tir na nOg. You take one shoe off and place your foot in the water. At that moment you are between two worlds, the material and the spiritual. You see with the Eye of Vision. You are reborn!

When you reach the other side, you face Me as Queen. From Me you learn, with your Eye of Light, to transform your own future, and in so doing, to change the world! You may safely travel during night across the stream as long as you return at day as the swan returns to its nest after long flights. So though in a mortal body, you shall shine forth as an immortal Spirit.

A further Initiation leads you at last to reach the Well of Truth, which is both its matrix and its source. Here you meet Me as an ancient woman, hooded in a black cloak. Many dread Me in this form, for I am Death. But as I throw back my hood you see no skull, but rather the Enchantress Who has guided you through many incarnations! You gaze at the still water of the Well and you understand the meaning of all suffering and evil; love and joy. And in this understanding you awaken the Eye of Truth within you. I smile and I embrace you and I hand you my cloak.

Invocation and Oracle from the rite "Opening the Eye of Vision" from the liturgy book "Melusina, Life Centres of the Goddess". 

Excerpt below from "Juno Covella" by Lawrence Durdin-Robertson. He writes of Brighid in the Festival of Brigantia:

BRIGANTIA, BRIGHID. (Joyce, id. p. 390) “O’Curry asserted that according to the authority of an ancient Irish poem, of which he had a copy, the year began on the 1st February. Sick Bed Atlantis I. 390, note 2.” See also preceding paragraph.

(McLean, Four Fire Fest. p. 16) “Brigantia: the first of February. The day of Bride or Brigit, the Celtic Goddess in her young woman aspect, marked the Celtic spring festival ...

“... Each year, as the first glimmer of dawn appears, the Cailleach (Note: See under November 1st) is transformed into the fair young Goddess Bride ...

“We find here the female mystery of germination of the seed, the process which spiritually was beginning to happen in the earth after the cold contractive forces of winter ... and the youthful energies of the Bride facet of the Goddess could come into being”.

(id.) on Brighid’s Day customs: “Perhaps one of the most important and archetypal aspects of this festival was the lighting of candles or torches at midnight. This activity was transferred in more recent centuries to February the 2nd ... At her shrine in Kildare, a sacred flame burnt continuously … So we have here a connection with St. Bride’s Day, in the ritual use of fire as light”.

(Brewer, The Beauties of Ireland, p. 30) on the holy fire of Brighid at Kildare: “ ‘Perhaps’, writes Sir James Ware, ‘... it might seem to have taken its origin from an imitation of the Vestal Virgins …’ That the custom had a pagan original is unquestionable”.

(McLean, Four Fire Fest. p. 17) on Brighid’s Day customs: “In the Highlands of Scotland, an effigy of Bride made by the young woman from the last year’s cornsheaf, was carried around the community, and gifts were collected for the Bride Feast. The festival here was strictly matriarchal, the door of the feasting place was barred to the men of the community who had to plead humbly to honour Bride”.

(Lux Madriana Cal.) “Brighde 10 (February 1) Feast of Lights.” (Perp. Fest. Cal.) “February 1 ... Brighde, Celtic Goddess of Youth. Oimele, Celtic Spring Festival”.

(Druids Cal.) “February 1. Imbolg. A feast of propitiation to the Great Mother, asking the return of her fruitfulness. Later associated with St. Bridget, who was seen as a manifestation of the Earth Mother. Celebrated in conjunction with the day following”.

(Fell. of Isis Dir.) “February 1st. Brighid. The Arts and Healing through water. Crafts”.

Oracles for 2011

Samhain

ORACLE OF THE GODDESS ISIS

Priestess: (Invocation) Divine Isis, Who doth hold the Ankh, Sign of Life, have pity on our human weakness. We all fear death. There is no creature that will not fight for its life! The most terrible calamities that befall us are yet more acceptable than their ending through even the quickest death. We dread the loss of ourselves, our own consciousness, of all that we know. When we grieve for those who die, truly we fear for ourselves! Thou Who didst shed Thy tears for Thy dead husband Osiris, and Who brought Him to everlasting life, bring us true knowledge.

Oracle: Know that your very love of life, of your own selves, is a surety that you live forever! It is only the body that perishes. Therefore those who dread death the most are those who enjoy life the most! And in that very enjoyment is your salvation. If you see death as an unpredictable but inevitable disaster in the future, soon or far ahead, you naturally dread a sudden end to all you love, a stop to your own individual consciousness. But in verity you can experience your own immortality now! Eternity may be experienced through two passing seconds of earth time. You can awaken from this dream of worldly life into a greater reality. Only veils of ignorance and unconsciousness divide each one of you from your own Immortal Self. Hence death is sin: sin is ignorance. For when you wrongly think: "I am only the brain; I am the body with its senses" you deny your true self through choosing that which is mortal.

Enjoy those delights that belong to the eternal spheres, such as the love and care of each other, of animals and plants: philosophy and religion; the practice of arts and crafts. Thus you will strengthen your spiritual body with the nectar and ambrosia of the Deities. You will learn to participate in heavenly life as your earthly body sleeps. Love, and you are in harmony with Heaven. Be truthful, and you drink of the Water of Life. Laugh, and you laugh with Jove! Weep with compassion, and you mingle your tears with Mine.

Remove then the deadening pall of gloom which stifles your earthly funeral obsequies! Death is for the ignorant. Immortality is for those who know the truth! Develop your psychic and spiritual gifts, so that not only will you recognise this "death" as the impostor it is, but you will help others to lose any fear, but rather look forward to participating in heavenly joys. Reunion with those you love is certain. In your originality is your immortality, for nothing that is original can perish. It is an essential part of the cosmic scheme. Manifest your Divine Origin which is born from the Mother of All, Nuit, Whose children are immortal like onto Herself. Nourish then all good gifts in each person and each being and you strengthen the harmony between the Divine Sphere of Heaven with its transient reflection which is this world. There is no death. Love is eternal. Osiris and I are One. So is it with us all. 

Invocation and Oracle from the rite "Dulce Domum. The Soul Returns Home" from the liturgy book "Panthea, Initiations and Festivals of the Goddess".

From "Juno Covella" by Lawrence Durdin-Robertson writes of Isis in the Season of Samhain:

Egyptian: ISIS and NEPHTHYS; The Isia, The Zetesis and Heuresis, Fourth Day. (Philocalus, Kal.) “October 31 ... Isia”. (Fellowship of Isis Dir.) “October 31st-November 3rd. Mystery of Isis and Osiris, 31st: The Search for Osiris by Isis”.

(Larson, Rel. of Occident, p. 178) “We know that Isis, like Demeter, had two great festivals, one in the spring and another in the fall ... The autumnal celebration ... consisted of a passion play which continued for four days; although the date varied in different places, it usually began on October 31st, and ended on November 3rd. On the first day, actors impersonating Isis, Nephythys, Anubis, Horus, etc., searched for the body of Osiris”.

Lughnasadh

ORACLE OF THE GODDESS GAIA

Priestess: (Invocation) Holy Goddess Gaia, our Earth Mother, we repent of the desolation we have brought upon Your sky and earth and sea and those that live there. We fear Your hidden fires which we call hell, and dread to lay our bodies in your black earth, eyes closed in death. We know more of the stars than we do of our own planet. Help us to penetrate through Your veil of matter, so that we may learn of Your plan of perfection for You and for ourselves.

Oracle: You see as children. You say, "these infernal fires could burn my body, and this earth can suffocate my life-giving breath". But this earth you desecrate, these material bodies you go to such lengths to protect, are but figments of collective imagination. You shoot a multitude of birds, yet not one of these birds die. They are only shadows that lie bleeding. The real birds fly on.

You are outcasts in a waste land, viewing with longing a stately palace with its gardens, but fearing the powerful owners: yet in truth the owners of palace and gardens are yourselves, self-styled outcasts! When you believe that the apparent world around you is all that exists, then you suffer with it, you die with it. But know that your Eternal Spirit makes for Itself many shapes, in order to learn from every realm of Being. In this shadow playground of the world you choose to be poor or rich, lovely or ugly, clever or foolish. As your children enjoy playing games of violence, so do you, their elders. You enjoy sufferings as do those who weep during sad plays. Not one human-being, nor animal nor bird nor tree materialises without inner choice. All existences long for experience; none give up physical manifestation without a struggle, however great the anguish. Indeed, many choose a life of pain and warfare rather than one of boring ease.

However, there are those who at last outgrow this world playground, and choose to realise their innate Divinity. This precludes immature game playing. To attain such bliss you do not have to reach the sun nor the stars. Each realm of Being is humbly beneath your feet, within My Heart! Protected only by some score miles of crust and by two streams of volcanic magma, is a sun whose light and heat is as great as the surface of the celestial sun. Those who attain use of their Solar Bodies can enter this Inner Sun, which in reality contains a realm of being as beautiful as that of any star. The Beings who dwell therein have the protection of an atmosphere which to you is dense rock and earth, but which to them is a transparent vapour. Fiery magma shows itself as rosy and golden swirling clouds, through which they perceive sun and moon, planets and stars.

So is it with yourselves! Concealed beneath the shell of your material bodies shines the glory of Goddesses and Gods. Come to Me! Long have I waited to give you your inheritance.

Invocation and Oracle from the rite "Magical Journey to the Matrix of the Earth. 1st Sphere" from the liturgy book "Psyche, Magical Journeys of the Goddess".

From "Juno Covella" by Lawrence Durdin-Robertson for Lughnasadh:

THE EARTH GODDESS, THE EARTH MOTHER. (McLean, Fire Fest. pp. 20 and 22) “Lammas, or Lughnasad, the Celtic festival of the beginning of Autumn ... is thus the festival marking the transformation of the goddess into her Earth Mother aspect, and it seems likely, as with the Tailltenn Fair, that the sites most sacred at this time of the cycle were the mounds ... of the Earth Goddess”. (id. p. 21) on Lughnasad: “the community reflected on the reality that the Mother aspect of the Goddess, having come to fruition, from Lammas on would enter the Earth and slowly become transformed into the Old Woman -- Hecate-Cailleach aspect which would emerge as Samhain”.

Beltane

The very first issue of Isian News, published in the summer of 1976 opened with an oracle of Dana! It is presented here, along with the introductory sentence exactly as it appeared in Isian News:

"The following message given to a Priestess of the Goddess Dana of Ireland may fittingly herald our first issue of Isian News.

Priestess: I feel the presence of Dana. The light of gold is behind her. She has a great rainbow colored aura. These are her words:

The earth has its jewels. For know that though the lesser cannot comprehend the great, yet the greater comprehends, permeates and suffuses the lesser. And this is what is meant by the immanence of the Divine Spirit. Many of you have sought urgently to rise to the heights and to meet Me there. Yet am I also found in the depths. I am the all-pervading Spirit that sparkles in the crystal, that is the treasure in the depth of the well, that comforts the lonely in heart, and is trampled underfoot by the proud who bruise the humble weed. And this knowledge also is the message of the New Era. The possession of the treasures of Nature without and within comes not through conquest, not through bitter struggles, not through suppression and rejection: but through the alchemy of transmutation. Growth is extension in consciousness.

Seek for the buried treasure of the earth, the jewels of Wisdom and Love. I will help all those who seek my aid.”
