Fellowship of Isis Liturgy
Written by Olivia Robertson
Consecration of a Priestess/Priest Solar Alchemist
Alchemical Initiations for
Members of the Fellowship of Isis Priestess/Priesthood
On a gold covered altar let there be eight lighted candles, burning incense, a vial of consecrated oil, a bowl of water, a natural stone and a crystal wand, between them lies a sun disk. Priesthood Alchemists wear gold robes and headdresses of ancient Egyptian style. Priestesses wear Isis-Hathor crowns with gold sun disk and silver horns of moon. Priests wear high white Osiris mitres with intertwined gold and green uraei. All hold the gold and silver caduceus of Hermes - a single disk above a white rod entwined by two snakes, gold and silver.
Candidate is led before door of temple by sponsor in regalia of Mercury, winged headdress and holding caduceus. Sponsor knocks three times on door.
1st Priest Alchemist: Who seeks admittance to this Solar Iseum?
Sponsor: A Priestess (if Candidate is female) A Priest (if Candidate is male) of the Fellowship of Isis Priesthood who seeks the grade of Alchemist. The candidate had been made ready, the four necessary degrees have been attained.
1st Priestess Alchemist: (to Candidate) Share with us your intended work as Priestess/Priest alchemist
Candidate states her/his intention in guiding those FOI Priestesses and Priests who seek transmutation through use of the alchemical rites.
Priest Alchemist: (to Sponsor) Has the Candidate acquired self knowledge? has the Candidate gained the ability to transmute her/his soul and spirit?
Sponsor: The Candidate deeply understands, the Candidate has attained, the transmutation is effective, and growth is ongoing. This Candidate will become a teacher who possesses humility, compassion and humour. Above all, the Candidate enjoys the divine inspiration through the invocation of Goddesses of Transformation - Isis, Devi and Brigid.
The following Invocations and Oracle are directly inspired:
Invocation by 3rd Priestess Alchemist of Isis, Devi and Brigid.
Invocation of Osiris by Priest Alchemist.
First Priestess Alchemist, gives oracle from Isis, Mother of the Sun.
1st Priestess Alchemist directs Candidate to approach altar and place left hand on the stone and right on the crystal wand.
1st Priestess Alchemist: In the Name of the God Osiris, Who is also Serapis and Horus, I accept this Candidate as Alchemist.
1st Priestess Alchemist: (anoints brow of Candidate with consecrated oil) With this oil that holds the five elements, air, water, fire, earth and ether, I consecrate you Priestess/Priest Alchemist.
2nd Priestess Alchemist: (places purple mantle about Candidate) With this mantle I encompass you with the bounty of dark space.
2nd Priestess Alchemist: (places Osiris mitre or Hathor headdress on head of Candidate) With this crown I signify the transmuted forces of life within you - the solar and lunar forces of Isis (if female) of Osiris (if male).
3rd Priestess Alchemist: (places a gold ring on 1st forefinger of right hand of Candidate) With this ring I honour in you the ever renewing circle of eternal Life.
1st Priest Alchemist: (presents caduceus) Behold the wand of Hermes Trismegistus! Use these Divine Forces - Light and Darkness - in balance - entwined upon the Tree of Life.
New Priestess/Priest Alchemist gives first address on the inner meaning of alchemy and inner transformation that affects not only humans but all that is - all that emanates from divinity. Meditation on the taks ahead for the Fellowship of Isis Priestess/Priesthood Alchemists. Reports are shared. Harmony is sent forth to all beings. The new Solar Alchemist is welcomed by those present. Thanks are giving to Isis, Devi and Brigid. A feast follows.
