Oracle: Goddess Derceto
Book: Ishtar of the Starry Heavens
By: Olivia Robertson

Invocation:
Holy Goddess Derceto, Daughter of Tiamat of the darkness of space, laughing mother of mermaids, yet Creator of storms that wreck us, help us to have humility by honouring the Holy Unknown.

Oracle:
You do well to pray for humility! Every age has a flaw, which may prove fatal. The errors of the past Piscean age of faith, led to a blind obedience, which resulted in a nightmare of cruelty and oppression. True, the unknown was respected, feared: but a supposed cruel and unreasonable Deity was invented to explain the vagaries of nature. To propitiate such Deities, all free thought and knowledge were suppressed. So the resulting civilisation, despite its fruits in the Arts and through Charity, is crumbling.

But the disastrous error of this scientific age is arrogance, a presumptuous belief, unproven, that spiritual realities do not exist.  And the more the intellectual brain is over-stimulated, the more the psychic doorway closes.  First the choice is to rule on earth rather than serve in the Heavens. But later, the doors of spiritual perception close, and Heaven is lost. It is for you who hearken to me to open them again, not only for yourselves, but for everyone else! Animal souls are with us already.

Oracle of the Month - May 2025

 May 2025

Oracle: Goddess Pallas Athena

Book: Panthea, Initiations and Festivals of the Goddess

By: Olivia Robertson

Invocation:

Pallas Athena, Goddess of Wisdom, come to me now that I may be inspired by Thy Divine Spirit! Endow us with Thy Wisdom and Thy Might that Thy ancient glories may once more shine before the world!

Oracle:

It has been written that the Iron Age should prevail over the earth bringing with it suffering, toil and evil, through neglect of the Deities. Its darkness is not the holy night of the Owl of Wisdom, but the limitation of ignorance. Its light is the transient glow, that comes from superficial knowledge gained from curious probing rather than the spiritual illumination that emanates from the Deities. It was not necessary for the world of men to choose the Age of Iron; but Destiny that the choice be offered. For what goodness is there in worshipping the Gods and Goddesses when they reveal themselves easily to all? It is simple to satisfy curiosity, but the labour of years of experience to gain wisdom! Sentiment is pleasant but passing: the warmth of love is ever-renewing.

Understand the meaning of what I am, and you will gain comprehension of your own lives and destiny. I am not divided against myself: Bright Pallas with her Spear of Light does not war with the Dark Owl of Night. Nor do the terrible flames of the Inner Sun that are veiled upon my shield attack Athena, the Teacher of philosophy and the arts. I am Holy. Be ye Holy. Be at peace within yourselves and cease from your philosophical warring! In verity the catastrophes of the Iron Age are due to deep division between mortals and the Deities: between mankind and nature: and between differing ideas which are but the quivering reflections of absolute truth.

The veil upon my Shield is beginning to wear thin, and the glory of the Rays of Medusa become apparent to earthly gaze! The inner power of the atom has been violently exposed, and reduces the physical body to the shadow which in verity it is. My Spear of Light brings Divine Inspiration to the mind, while my owl carries messages of warning from the dark Rulers of the universe, which will be known to be what it is: whole and perfect. On your troubled earth mortals struggle and learn through harsh experience to put on Immortality: which in truth is latent in each creature. A bird knows more of Elysium than doth mankind! Do not reject any aspect of the universe, but recognise it as part of a glorious pleroma in which even suffering and evil are transformed through wisdom into good. Listen for my voice. I speak in the silence.

A Note from the Priestess

Greetings of the New Moon in Capricorn!

Our Iseum now has a Facebook page, which is updated much more regularly than this blog; it can be found at Iseum of the Mystic Isis | Facebook. This is where we post the Oracles of the Month, links to Isian News, letters from FOI Steward Cressida Pryor, and more. As the pandemic has made in-person activities impossible, we may in future offer some online events, if the interest is there. Please check back here or the Facebook page for attunement times for holiday and other ritual occasions. If you want to contact us for any reason at all, you may either message us through Facebook or via email at iseumofthemysticisis@mail.com (please note: that's mail.com, not Gmail!).

Isian blessings,

Rev. Lynn Blackthorn

Preceptor, Iseum of the Mystic Isis

Addendum, Beltane 2025:

I will be updating here again on a most likely irregular basis, beginning with the monthly Oracles.

Oracle of the Month - June

June 2019
Oracle: The Goddess Nana Buluku
Book: "Melusina, Life Centres of the Goddess"
By: Olivia Robertson

Invocation:
Divine Mother of all, Nana Buluku, Thou art invoked by innumerable Names throughout the Universe. Bring us courage, vitality and strength, that we may accomplish our Destiny! We would enact the Divine Will to bring good to all.

Oracle:
You have a short life span, shorter than that of an elephant but longer than a gnat's! Therefore to fulfil your Destiny you need to be free from the trammels of your space and time and touch the glory of Eternity. To do this you need to develop your Sun Body within you. Centred in the Sovereign Sun, you will then command a wider range of space and time, and hold sway over those planets that are the spiritual centres within your soul bodies.

Each sun centre within all creatures is connected with the Sovereign Sun, your star. Thus the Greater is shown forth in the lesser. Know that every spiritual centre within your etheric bodies has a twin, thus producing balance between Goddess and God. Thus the Solar Plexus Centre with its golden glow, has a powerful concealed twin a little above and behind it. This may be termed the Hidden Sun, the Goddess-Roots of the outer God-Sunflower. To achieve strength with gentleness, power with compassion, taking and giving, you need to have these twins in harmony. You may feel this Goddess Sun as a glow in your spine above your waist. Its colour is red and gold, and it controls the flowing streams of energy that connect your spiritual body with the Universe.

Although the gaining of Vitality is essential, you need to focus your energy, lest you dissipate your life in aimless adventurings. However, even if you receive intimation of your Destiny, you may misuse your newly gained power through forcing your will upon others. This is the hazard of awakening the Solar Plexus Centre. It is here that the Inner Sun centre helps. This is connected with luminous threads with all those around you, whether these be angels, humans, animals or trees. With this flow of inter-communion, you cannot become powercrazed, believing that only your own Path, however excellent, is the only way to follow.

It might appear safer not to awaken the Solar Plexus Centre at all! But humans are no coward souls. Go forward and gain the Victory.

Oracle of the Month - May

May 2019
Oracle: The Goddess Ceridwen
Booklet: Sophia, Cosmic Consciousness of the Goddess
By: Olivia Robertson 

Invocation:
Goddess of Inspiration, Goddess of Creation, come to our aid, we entreat you! We are parched and bored, devoid of fantasy and prophecy, for we dwell in a waste land of machines that calculate and statistics that diminish our souls. Restore to us the days of our innocent childhood!

Oracle:
Far beyond the world of the cold mind and the stony heart, yet closer than the breath in a frosty dawn is Hy Brasil, the Many-Coloured Land of Heart's Desire! There is the Cauldron of Creation, guarded by three great stone circles, and beyond the circles is the sorrowful waste land of earth in which you dwell. There the lost soul, torn with doubt and fear, having turned away from the Mother, plays endless games of the mind. He adds one to one and two to two, yet never, calculate as he may, achieves infinity! For Infinity is beyond number and calculation and is as near the first as it is to the last. And the Voyager to the future in space and time ever returns, faery-bound, to his own starting point. Only when he calls to Deity for help can he be saved from his mind-formed prison.

Remove from My Cauldron of Creation the three magical drops of Inspiration, Originality and Imagination - and you are left with a poisonous residue of stale thought, soulless regulations and death-bringing orthodoxy. Return to the Matrix which is greater than the limited world about you! Travel far to achieve My Chalice, and endure with courage the ordeals which test your quality. Do not be led astray by false humility, which surrenders your birth-right of free choice to the commands of others. For even those travellers who have found the Grael are not able to share it with their fellows! For this is the Law, that each must achieve divine inspiration in solitude through service. Know that even I, Ceridwen, was not able to bestow the gifts of the Spirit upon My Divine Son. Rather did a mortal, such as yourselves, receive my gifts of the Spirit. And mark that the boy was given inspiration unexpectedly without seeking for it, during the course of his daily work! And he fled in terror, comprehending neither Me nor his great destiny.

In many lives, in many forms, the soul flees from My embrace, Who am the Universal Mother, She Who gives birth and death to all beings. In verity my Cauldron is both the womb and the tomb. For only through birth and death may the soul partake of My Grael and so receive the Elixir of Life.

Gain courage. Cherish humility. Be original: respect the originality of others. Use your imagination: yet know that all you visualise manifests in some sphere; so let your visions be true and noble. When you achieve My Grael you will find Hy Brasil all around you: in the room where you dream: in the bird-filled tree outside your open window: in the eyes of all who love you.

Oracle of the Month - April

April 2019
Oracle: The Goddess Brynhilde
Book: "Brigid of the Rainbow Planets"
By: Olivia Robertson



Invocation:
Noble Goddess Brynhilde, You restored goodness to the earth by winning the golden Ring of Power with Your Spear of Light: You restored the ring to its true home with the innocent Rhine Maidens. Help us to have courage and compassion: activity with peacefulness. So may we like You attain Heaven, the true Valhalla, by destroying its false image.

Oracle:
Without conflict there is no progress. Each one of you in bodily form, whether human, animal or plant, have your divine essence derived from the Mother of All. You have consented to be born in this forum of learning which you call a planet. In verity what you know of your earth is only a shadow projection of its myriad forms, sped forth from the constellations of Light, Aries and Leo. Treat this existence with its cycle of births and deaths as a Mystery Drama in which you act, while your true Self is ever the same - in Heaven. Each day you are given choice and every choice has a consequence, good or bad. Even a bad choice may bring greater reward than a just one, if it leads to wisdom won from experience.

Whatever happens, never forget to laugh! The ancient Hall of the Valiant, Valhalla, fell not only from greed and cruelty, but also from a creeping death of dogma! Humans progress through becoming lively, not deathly. You may choose to protect victims with the Spear of Light, as I did. Or you may lie asleep as I did, in mystic trance on a rock, protected by magic fire. Whichever way you travel on life's journey, I call you to live richly, by achieving physical and moral courage. So shall you awaken as I did from my rock, to restore spiritual gold to all.

Oracle of the Month - January

January 2019
Oracle: The Goddess Alma Mater
Booklet: Panthea, Initiations and Festivals of the Goddess
By: Olivia Robertson


Invocation:
Ave Alma Mater! We honour you as Mother of us all. Help us to return to our eternal Home, bringing our harvest of good lives. Bless the children you entrust to our care.

Oracle:
Every baby is born with a little flame shining over its head. This comes from its spirit body. But as the child grows older, the flame is well-nigh extinguished by the demands of worldly life. But it sometimes happens that the flame does not die down, but rather increases! The child is aureoled with rays of power and beauty. All unknowingly the girl or boy inflicts pain on its elders, by reason of the strange ideas and feelings the rays bring. So in past ages the elders sometimes persecuted such young people and even now they try to extinguish such hurtful Light. This is understandable: for what ruler welcomes his successor?

But there is no need for the worldly-minded to dread occult forces radiated by such children. These elders have enriched humanity with sciences and laws. Under the Patriarch they have ruled the world. What is good in the old laws and behaviour will last.

Nonetheless a new era is dawning swiftly! When a race is faced with self-wrought destruction, inspired mutation can take place. The Gates between the psychic and material spheres are opening! A new humanity is being born. More and more spiritually and psychically gifted children are coming into incarnation. Some are the old ones transformed: others come from the stars. But heed well my warning! A human being without any such occult gifts, but who lives a good life under Patriarchal law, is more pleasing to Deity than a vain and power-drunk "Spiritual Master".

So you need to foster in your children, whatever their gifts, a concern for every being as part of my Cosmic Family. Throughout all spheres, within all galaxies and planets, I am shown forth originally in every creature, every atom. Manifold are my aspects: no creature is to be dreaded nor despised. Respect the unique quality in every God and animal and plant, including your family! Also respect yourself for your own originality which is Divine.

Whenever a new age manifests, I am reborn in all those who know me. I weep for your sufferings, which yet brings you needful experience. When you are happy, I rejoice. I work through your good deeds. My love is with you always.

Winter Solstice Letter from Cressida Pryor

FOI Steward Cressida Pryor has published her Spring Equinox letter. You may read it here.

Oracle of the Month - December

December 2018
Oracle: The Goddess Eloha
Book: "Psyche, Magical Journeys of the Goddess"
By: Olivia Robertson



Invocation:
Come to us, beautiful Eloha, who with thy twin brother Eli shinest from the stars of Elo Mona! In this dark world of grief and evil we struggle to keep the light of goodness within ourselves. Yet we lack both faith and hope when we see the plight of our mother earth.

Oracle:
You will never find me in the dream world of passing fantasies you call the world. For you yourselves are under the spell of your own desires and enact them in daily life! You dream of fighting evil and you join in battles with those who deem you to be evil. You long for love yet you trample on those who love you, and you may wantonly steal the loves of your friends, destroying their homes. Though you deplore the greed that despoils the earth, leaving it a charnel house of felled forests and dying creatures, yet you blame others for such deeds, though you participate in the fruits of destruction in luxuriant living.

Yet if you turn away from the passing nightmare of the world and come to Innua, the Great Spirit, all will be made clear to you! You place yourself in the centre of the wheel of the world, in the place of the Pole Star, and now you see that all revolves round the Inner Essence that is the life within. By experiencing the Divine Spirit within yourself you become attuned to the same Spirit within each person, animal, bird, tree, stream.

However, my friends, do not make the mistake of trying to alter the dark dream twins of those you recognise as beings of light! For every person, every creature, has its shadow, its wild twin manifesting on earth. And this twin it is who fights, and is passionate, cruel, loving, greedy, even bored. And the mistake of those on the winding path of the serpent, that leads to the great Awakening, is to try and alter other people! As you yourselves awaken each in your own individual way, on your own path through the ordeals of worldly existence, so it is with all beings. My friends, do not waste your energies in railing at the shortcomings of others! These very faults are an expression of their own way of learning through experience. You cannot in any case deprive the warrior of his gun, the hunter of his knife, the greedy man of his stolen land. Rather pity these, for they are caught in the spider web of the world, and can only escape as you shall, by turning away from the world and accepting the Great Spirit within.

Rejoice! When all the world seems evil to you, it is the time of your Awakening! Leave others to progress at their own pace.

Oracle of the Month - November

Oracle: The Goddess Ariadne
Booklet: Dea, Rites and Mysteries of the Goddess
By: Olivia Robertson 



Invocation:
Wise Ariadne of the deep sea, High Fruitful Mother of the Barley, thou whose starry crown of Thetis shines in the heavens, bring us thy guidance. Skilful weaver of the shining thread of Life that holds all spheres in patterned beauty, inspire us with thy wisdom! Thou who art above the Labyrinth of the mind, aid us in our thought. For thou, daughter of Truth art wed with fiery Dionysus of the fruitful vine, and so from Truth and Love bring all creatures into harmony.

Oracle:
When you are young, you seek that which is like yourself. And you reject the non-self and call it your enemy. But when you grow into maturity, you seek the not-self, for in this is your completion. And so through reconciliation with the enemy comes creation. For the votary of high spiritual Truth needs the warm glory of the Lover, lest she freezes into an ice maiden. And the Lover, demoniac in his passions, seeks the Ice Maiden that will still his ardour. And between these two comes the harmony of the spheres.

As you face the gateway into birth you receive my shining cord. But as you penetrate deeper and still deeper into the Labyrinth of time and space, the thread becomes thinner, more ghostly. For as you remember my thread, it becomes strong; and when you forget it, it wanes. As you move through the years you leave behind you a spiral pattern of the thread, that brings you memory of your true being. Yet you look ahead and see no light: the light is behind you.

When you reach the nadir of the Labyrinth, and face that which you most fear, you may drop the thread. But fear not! I am always with you, though you see me not. I am Conscience, and my Mother is Nature and my Father is Philosophy. Call upon me and I shall aid you: so are you saved by my grace, and not by your own will. And this must be. For who would be saved through the separate self, rather than be aided by the Immortal Beloved!

So you return through the mazy windings of the Labyrinth, but now you face the cord and it gleams before you like my Silver Snake. And when you reach the entrance of the Double Axe, you soar above the Maze and look down upon it. And now you see the meaning of the pattern, and enjoy its beauty. And you aid others who lose their way in it as you did, and lead them to their goal.

Oracle of the Month - October

October 2018
Oracle: The Goddess Prithivi
Book: "Sphinx, Goddess Myths and Mysteries"
By: Olivia Robertson

Invocation:
I invoke the Goddess of the Earth, Prithivi! Daughter of Devi, The Original Being from whom all Goddesses emerge, help us to understand divine mysteries, so that we may have our earthly way enlightened.

Oracle:
It is the path of the human to seek understanding, while my other children, the animals and birds and trees are content to represent my Divinity. As you lift veil upon veil of my enshrouded mystery, your wonder and joy will increase. Behind the simplest children's story you will uncover a cosmic verity. Your dreams give you riddles for you to unravel at dawn and a passing remark may change your life. There are two ways to see the truth. One is the way of silence, to accept only proven facts. And this indeed will disclose much of my outer material veil. But to comprehend the secrets of the human soul, the way of imagination is the surest. Cynics declare that religious myths are lies, mistaken beliefs of ignorant people. Some skeptics regard world myth as the cunning manipulation of the priests, bent on controlling their followers. To them, poetic epics and dramas are fantasies, with no basis in reality. But there is no lie in creative dreaming, but rather a symbolic reflection of cosmic verity, that wells up from universal mind. The hidden divinity that is concealed in all beings makes itself known through symbols, ideas, and vision. It bypasses logic and the known, seduces the soul deeper into the forest of being by beauty, mystery and desire. So the soul is drawn into penetrating my veils by the swift movement of a lovely stag dodging through the trees - half seen, half not seen, like moon beams.

So enjoy drama, paintings, music, stories. But do not pretend to like great art, when truly you prefer common stories of loves and hates and adventure! These also have their hidden reality, and will show you your own character through hating and loving the people in a play.

I am the Goddess Prithivi of the Earth. My veils are of my Sister Maya, many-layered illusions. But every illusion is a symbol of ultimate reality, when you learn to decipher its code. Always ask me when you want understanding. But it is well to learn to penetrate my veils on your own. That is why you are here on earth.

Olivia's Centenary

Oracle of the Month - April

April 2017
Oracle: The Goddess Anahita
Book: "Psyche, Magical Journeys of the Goddess"
By: Olivia Robertson


Invocation:
Descend upon earth, Holy Ardvi Sura Anahita, from Thy Divine Region of the Stars! Thy motherly waters encompass the Universe. Help us to purify our earth, seas and atmosphere.

Oracle:
You call upon Me to help you change the destiny of your world. But your world is not the real earth. The true earth is perfect: what you experience around you is a fabric created by yourselves. However, Divine Intervention is required, because you are contaminating the very Sacred Elements which you use to form your world of illusion. You are poisoning Earth, Water and Air. You are misusing the Holy Element of Fire by burning to death millions of your fellow beings in your wars.

The purification of the Sacred Elements is a cosmic matter, and will be dealt with by the Deities. What you need to do is to save your own souls, in danger of being entrapped in the very nightmares that you have created. Already you have lost the ability to see the true earth. Only children and visionaries still enjoy its loveliness.

The first stage for you is to attain the Paradise of the Blessed. To enjoy this, you must choose goodness and reject evil. This requires discrimination. Hence you suffer. Yet it is through this choice, so cruelly presented to you, that you advance spiritually. So you gain the First Paradise. Here all is peaceful. Yet it is hard to progress in a realm where you only meet those who agree with you, and all not in attunement move elsewhere! Hence you need to incarnate many times in the earth world, until you learn to control its adverse conditions and so improve it. So you attain the Second Paradise.

The Second Paradise of the Magi brings creativity, crowned by the ability to form planets, schools for evolving souls. Yet the Magi know their own limitations. Hence they seek the Third Paradise. And so shall you!

This Third Paradise of the Illuminati resembles the First, as it is a realm of love. There is a difference. Whereas love in the astral sphere is between two lovers, or a company of friends, here Love is universal. Evil is transmuted into good, resolved into its own opposite. The Illuminati contain their own shadows: they comprehend the darkness from which light manifests.

Love and Truth are reconciled in Harmony.
