Isis in the Modern World

by Mary K. Greer

Holy Goddess Isis, Mother of All Beings, come to our hears.
Grant us thy children, love and joy, wisdom and abundance.
We offer Thee our loving care for all who are born of Thee.

 In October 1997 I presented a workshop at Isis Oasis in Geyserville, California at a Convocation of the Fellowship of Isis. About a hundred and fifty women were gathered together to celebrate the 70th birthday of Lady Olivia Robertson, co-founder of the FOI, who came from her home in Ireland to join us. Three days later, I, who pride myself on not being a "joiner" was ordained a Priestess of Isis. This was not as sudden as it sounds since I had recently made major changes in my life, clearing the boards for what I could only then call some "undefinded priestess-work," utilizing the skills I had gained teaching women's mysteries and leading sacred rituals for over twenty years.
