Pat was a long-term member of the Fellowship of Isis and the Castle's Assistant Temple Priestess for many years before retiring. She founded the Lyceum of Aine and Sophia and was a charter member of the Foundation Center Archpriesthood Union, the Nemeton of Dana, and the Rainbow Circle of Brigid. Olivia Robertson wrote this about Pat in 2003: "Patricia Griffin is Priestess in Charge with Olivia for the Temple of Isis at Clonegal Castle and will continue in the task when Olivia leaves this earthly realm! With her committed group, including Bizzie, Padraic, Karen and many others in Dublin, she is preparing an evening gathering on Samhain Eve on the Hill of Tara. Her group are enthusiastic about experiencing the spiritual and earthly radiations of various ancient Irish sites, particularly working with their Grove in the Druid Clan of Dana. Celebrations of the Isis Wedding Rite are particularly popular, often receiving wide press coverage, not only in Ireland, but, combining with Foundation Centre in Clonegal, in the English Sunday Telegraph, a pillar of Establishment readership! On the 22nd August, she was Archpriestess at a beautiful outdoor Isian Wedding by a river and waterfall, at the faery site of Glendalough. in case members are interested, she has a video of the event. Music included songs by five gospel singers. Patricia holds fortnightly meetings by invitation only." All Rights Reserved. |
