In the foreword, Olivia Robertson wrote : "In my 85th year, I feel the time has come for me honestly to describe how my brother, his wife and myself founded the Fellowship of Isis. This is a question I am so often asked and as often brush the query aside with a recommendation to read our Manifesto, study the Liturgy or join a centre! What I have avoided as a matter of principle is to be personal. I had encapsuled my personal experiences within a framework of ideas in my book "The Call of Isis". I refused to write an autobiography. I wished to give the rest of my life to promoting the Fellowship: not on encouraging a cult of personality, bugbear of our media-crazed society."This book is a personal account of how each aspect of the Fellowship of Isis came into being as Olivia Robertson experienced it as co-founder. An Oracle and illustration begins each of the nine chapters, which include: 1) Foundation: The Throne of Isis, 2) Return of the Priestess, 3) The College of Isis Revived, 4) Spirals of Light, 5) Dana's Land of Immortality, 6) Ladies and Knights of the Green Earth, 7) The Goddess Has New Helpers, 8) Isis Prophetis, 9) The Muses Symposium.

From the back cover: "In this book, Olivia Robertson, co-founder of the Fellowship of Isis, vividly describes her adventures in the occult and mystical fields. She worked for many years with groups in South Ireland and London, and specialized in guided meditations. First published in 1975, this is an original account that begins with the experiments of a few friends and develops into a variety of experiences involving artists, musicians, dancers, craftsmen and writers, inspired by the divinity within Nature Herself. The Call of Isis is divided into three sections: 'The Temple of the Moon' explores psychic development and the control of emotions ; 'The Temple of the Sun' introduces using vital force for healing and creativity, and 'The Temple of the Stars' deals with mystical experiences and the safe development of cosmic consciousness." (Original 1975 edition, with illustrations added by the author.)
Humankind has made offerings to spirits and deities for centuries. This hallowed tradition helped ancient Egyptians develop a close and enduring relationship with one of their most beloved goddesses: Isis. M. Isidora Forrest, an ordained priestess of the Fellowship of Isis, guides magical practitioners down a modern, devotional path to this popular Egyptian goddess. She discusses the theory and practice of ancient offering rites and shows how they can be applied today for spiritual growth and sacred magic. Readers can choose from over seventy scripted offerings to Isis-from "Acacia" to "Words of Power." Also included are the sacred hieroglyphs associated with Isis and how these powerful, magical symbols can aid in forging a strong connection with the goddess.
The Isis Wedding Rite of the Fellowship of Isis, written by Olivia Robertson, co-founder of the FOI. From the introduction: 'To find the Other is to find Oneself: All Nature is expressed in one loved face.' "So says the Bard of the Druids in our Isis Wedding Rite. To unite with another soul is the goal of the Lover: through this devotion selfishness and loneliness fade away. When twin souls unite in Divine Union, it is through discovery of The Immortal Beloved that they find their own real selves. Such is the truth underlying the Egyptian myth of Isis and Osiris, perfect wife and husband. In classical Greece Plato brought forth the ideal of twin souls divided and discovering reunion through love. Centuries later medieval troubadours travelled throughout Europe singing of fulfilment through the romantic devotion of lovers. Within our secret dreams, we have this knowledge in ourselves."
Eight rituals of the Fellowship of Isis, along with illustrations, all by Olivia Robertson. From the introduction: "My own series of experiences occurred while I was writing the Alchemical Rituals now presented in this book. Yet when I began writing, I knew little of the subject. I often re-read three of my favourite classics: 'Le Comte de Gabalis' by the Abbe de Montfaucon de Villars, 'The Chymical Wedding of Christian Rosenkreutz, ' and 'The Most Holy Trinosophia' by le Comte de Saint Germain. . .As to my own quest, it has led me home. I have discovered the hidden sun within the transforming fire on Brigid's Hearth."
Grimassi has written extensively about Wicca, and Llewellyn specializes in books sympathetic to occult ways, so the combination is pretty predictable. He describes not only the usual magic practices, but also the religious and spiritual aspects of what believers say is inherited ancient European wisdom and scoffers say is made-up, new-age nonsense.

Ancient Egypt has always been a source of fascination to writers, artists and architects in the West. This book is the first study to address representations of Ancient Egypt in the modern imagination, breaking down conventional disciplinary boundaries between fields such as History, Classics, Art History, Fashion, Film, Archaeology, Egyptology, and Literature to further a nuanced understanding of ancient Egypt in cultures stretching from the eighteenth century to the present day, emphasising how some of the various meanings of ancient Egypt to modern people have traversed time and media. Divided into three themes, the chapters scrutinise different aspects of the use of ancient Egypt in a variety of media, looking in particular at the ways in which Egyptology as a discipline has influenced representations of Egypt, ancient Egypt's associations with death and mysticism, as well as connections between ancient Egypt and gendered power. The diversity of this study aims to emphasise both the multiplicity and the patterning of popular responses to ancient Egypt, as well as the longevity of this phenomenon and its relevance today.
This book provides a series of guided spiritual attunements to the elements, environments, the Sun, Moon, stars and planets, and a final attunement to all there is. It is intended to aid people in their process of spiritual growth through inner alchemy, to transform their psyche through attunement with the natural world around them.
This wide-ranging book explores the diversity of esoteric and occult beliefs. Neo-Paganism is one of the fastest-growing new religions in the western world where witchcraft or Wicca, Druidry, and Urban Shamanism are thriving. Alongside this there has been an upsurge in New Age ideas of an even wider variety, including astrology, Tarot, numerology, and many others. And then there are members of various schools of occult science, practising High Magic. Why this new interest in old beliefs? Why are millions of educated people today abandoning both the established religion of their parents and 21st century scientific rationalism and turning to magic and esoteric teachings? In their search for spirituality those who follow these paths claim to be applying ancient wisdom to the modern world. The Brief History of Secret Religions, a companion book to The Brief History of Secret Societies, looks at the history and variety of these esoteric movements, where they came from and what they tell us about the world today. Praise for The New Believers: 'an excellent guide to fringe religions that juxtaposes "respectable" movements and those conventionally dismissed as cults.' The Telegraph. 'no-nonsense, comprehensive survey packed with non-judgmental information about the beliefs, aims and activities of such movements. Daily Mail.
This book tells the stories of the Greek Gods and Goddesses from their own unique points of view, allowing their archetypal energies to manifest from within the cultural unconscious of our modern world. These are not stories for children, although told in poetic form. They are intended for an mature audience, who choose to better understand where they've come from and where they are going in this modern world. Western culture is largely based on Greco-Roman archetypes, and these myths speak directly to behaviors that manifest in our modern world. This book is intended for ages 16+.
