For those who do not have access to an Iseum or Lyceum in their area, or simply prefer to work alone, there are many opportunites for spiritual growth within the Fellowship of Isis.

            "Through the years members have asked for devotional practices for those who worship the Goddess on their own. The word 'worship' describes the initial stage of our relationship to the Divine Mother: as we develop in Her way we achieve a loving identity with Her, while retaining our own originality, and honour for Her manifestation through others. Daily private practice, whether in silence or through spoken words, is essential for sustained progress on the religious path. To invoke, sing and dance on one's own requires moral courage, but unbinds the soul! There is no limitation to the Pantheon of Deities in all faiths, and no limit either to the divinity latent in each of their offspring. Therefore, although apparently alone, the Devotee becomes more and more part of that rainbow network which brings Heaven on earth." Olivia Robertson

            Solitary practitioners may read and perform the Fellowship of Isis Liturgy on their own. However, if formal FOI degrees and initiations are desired, a course of study with a Fellowship center is required.

            To facilitate solo work, CDs of individual rites are also available. These offer spontaneous presentations of the rituals of the FOI liturgy. Olivia Robertson is the Guide in all of them, sometimes alone, sometime acting with other Fellowship members. All rites have been taped at the Foundation Center, Clonegal Castle. You may order these CDs from this page Order CDs.

            There are also Fellowship of Isis prayers that may be used by any member on a regular basis, as well as Juno Covella, the Perpetual Calendar of the Fellowship of Isis.

            Any Fellowship ritual may be adapted and enacted as a solitary member. Maya, Goddess Rites for Solo Use is a specific publication for solitary use. For a Fellowship of Isis ritual to create a personal shrine to Isis, go to the first ritual in this booklet, "Creation of a Shrine."

Attunement Times

            The Foundation Center at Clonegal Castle, Ireland offers Fellowship of Isis attunement on a twice-daily basis. This occurs mornings and evenings from 6:30 to 8:30 GMT. Members may attune at any time to the Fellowship of Isis , knowing that somewhere the Goddess is being invoked and her Blessings sent forth. Reviewing the online Photo Gallery and the tour of the Castle Temple may help facilitate deeper attunement.

            Keep updated on the latest in the FOI by reading the FOI Homepage Blog and also by regularly checking our What's New page. (link also found on the first page of the website) The Fellowship of Isis newsletter, the Isian News is also published quarterly on this site.

            Solitary members may also network with other Fellowship members in the world through the various FOI email lists. We also maintain pages on MySpace, Facebook (Organization Page & Group Page), and two FOI WebRings.

            For those who wish even more involvement or training, there are many FOI centers that members can participate in either in person or through correspondence. Please see the FOI centers listed in the Homepage Directories for contact information.
