The Iseum of the Mystic Isis is a multifaceted entity, reflecting the diversity
of interests of both its founders and its members. Chartered in March of 1995 by Lady Olivia Robertson, Archpriestess-Hierophant
of the Fellowship of Isis, our Iseum is dedicated to discussion and exploration of the many varieties of pagan, mystical
and magickal experience, with an emphasis on the Kemetic (ancient Egyptian). Our approach is multidisciplinary, drawing
from resources ancient and modern. Through experience we've come to realise that while one size may cover most, it rarely
fits anyone!
As the founders and administrators of a chartered Iseum, we are empowered
by the FOI to enroll new members in the Fellowship and to charter new Iseums. While we have chosen not to offer training
in the FOI's Initiate Levels at this time, we do work with the FOI liturgy as well as with rites of our own crafting.
Goddesses and gods of all pantheons are given equal honour, and in all things we strive to uphold the divine attributes of
love, beauty and truth.
We ascribe to no rote dogma; we set neither expectations nor limitations on
what an individual may choose to believe, think, or practise. The only requirement for participation is a genuine interest
in what we do and a willingness to give of your time and attention. There are no oaths of secrecy required; your only vows
are those you make, willingly, to your Gods, the only secrets those mysteries beyond words. Men and women share equally in
the rites, with nothing being withheld from one sex or the other for any reason theological, biological or otherwise. There
is no one strict liturgy; it grows and evolves, as does any living thing. Exploration, discovery, and spiritual growth in
a creative and egalitarian atmosphere are our highest goals.
