The FOI is organized on a democratic basis and all members have equal privileges within it, whether as a single member or part of an FOI center. Membership is free. The Fellowship of Isis is multi-religious, multi-racial, and multi-cultural. It is dedicated to honoring the religion of all the Goddesses and pantheons throughout the planet. (See Olivia Robertson's note regarding the spiritual affiliation of the FOI.) The Gods are also venerated.  photo © 2008 M.Q. The Goddess is seen as Deity, the Divine Mother of all beings.
