The Call of Isis
Written by: Olivia Robertson
Foreword.
I often wondered why I called this book "The Call of Isis" because there is little mention of Isis of Ten Thousand Names in it. A year after I finished the book, I made the pilgrimage to Egypt. This was followed by other Goddess pilgrimages to Greece, Rhodes and Crete. It was after my visit to Egypt that my brother, Lawrence Durdin-Robertson, his wife Pamela and myself founded The Fellowship of Isis at the Vernal Equinox, 1976.
We are often asked why we did so! I have noticed that when we open ourselves to our greater being, life is no longer a series of unrelated accidents, but becomes a fascinating series of meaningful "coincidences"! I had thought that possibly the Call of Isis was just for me - to write the book. Now I realise that this mystical vocation of Isis was coming to people of every sort all over the world. We expected only a handful of members. Instead, we now have over 24,000, in 98 countries. When we founded the Priesthood, we expected 1 or 2 Priestesses and Priests. Now we have over 2,000. Our College of Isis has over 200 Lyceums in nine countries, the Noble Order of Tara (an Order of chivalry "for Goddess and Nature"), has over 100 Chapters and the Druid Clan of Dana has over 150 Groves.*
Why? people ask us. Why do people join and where do you find them! For instance we have Iseums in Japan, Nigeria and solitary members in Siberia, Poland and Rumania. The answer is, we know why, but not how. Some people see us on television or hear us on radio or read "Prediction." Others, more dramatically, have had direct psychic contact.
"Why" is clearly answered by a message from the Goddess in our Temple: "This is the time. It is now." The Goddess is manifesting on earth to save us from ecological disaster. The Feminine Deity must be revered so that male domination be balanced. So when I think of this book I see the seeds of all that has happened subsequently and grown into our "Goddess World Wood". The veil is thinning between our physical world and the etheric realm. Hence people, with newly awakened etheric vision, see etheric space craft, Angels, Spirits, and are hurt when these cannot be verified by material science. Once this etheric realm, our lost Paradise, is regained, the way is open for all people and creatures, of all faiths and races, to experience greater spheres of Divinity. It is Heaven to be alive now! Let us enjoy ourselves. Isis calls. We answer.
