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.
