A small but historic photo, one of Olivia's favorites of she and her brother Lawrence Durdin-Robertson in the Temple sanctuary.  It was one of the first photos she shared online back in 1999.

The Occult Experience Video Clip

We wanted to re-share this historic video with you. It is clip from the 1987 video, “The Occult Experience." The quality is not the best , but it is a lovely remembrance of Olivia Robertson and her brother Lawrence Durdin-Robertson. It shows them being interviewed, part of the Rebirth ritual and two FOI ordinations. (photos from this video are also included throughout our website, with permission)

Fellowship of Isis: Dulce Domum Ritual

Since so many members are enacting the "Dulce Domum" ritual for Olivia Robertson, we are reminding you of the links to obtain it - both in html and printable pdf formats.

Here is what Olivia wrote about this rite: "My whole endeavour in our 'Dulce Domum' - Gentle Home - ceremony is to emphasise the continuance of the "dead" person in the next life, whatever their faith. It has been used and helps people to bear the fundamental attitude that soul and spirit are only functions of the brain and are no more - at death. Even witches when they honoured my brother's passing, only seemed to dwell on his living on in our memories! I think people are far less psychic these days owing to an over-emphasis on the left-material side of the brain, so atrophying the psychic senses. So I am proud that FOI has always emphasised that The Deities and the whole Company of Heaven are real and immortal. As Their offspring, we partake of this immortality, if only we claim Divine Mother (and Father). And our Spiritual Brothers and Sisters. I feel my role as Archpriestess is to affirm these truths in my own life." (personal correspondence, Jan. 2000)

The Passing of Olivia Robertson

 

From the Rt. Rev. Caroline Wise in London: "Sad news for the Fellowship and the wider Goddess community in the world, Olivia passed away last night. It was peaceful and she had her family with her. Her family ask that the families privacy is respected at this time. Many blessings." (Nov. 15, 2013)
 

 

Please join us in lighting a candle at your altars and wishing Olivia a good journey as the loving wings of the Goddess Isis guide her.

Attunement and Ancestors

As we join with members attuning to the energies of the international Fellowship of Isis in sending love and healing blessings to Olivia Robertson for her continued recovery, we also take a moment to honor the ancestors of the Durdin-Robertson family.  You may see some of the many family portraits on the walls of Clonegal Castle on this page:

Lime Tree Avenue

Exiting Clonegal Castle driveway to town.

"The trees forming the Front Avenue are mainly Lime trees with a few Sycamore; they were planted in 1680 from France. In 1933 Mr. Fitzpatrick, of the Forestry Department, included some of these for measurement. Two of them, on the right side, looking down from the castle were found to be 110 feet, the tallest recorded lime and sycamore in Ireland at that time."
