The College of Isis, through its Lyceums, offers a structured Magi Degree Course in the Fellowship of Isis Liturgy. Tuition is given by the Priesthood Hierophant.  There are 32 working degrees, the 33rd relating to spontaneous mystical awakening.  Each Lyceum provides its own course culminating in a rite of Liturgy.  The rites are based on the 33 intersecting points made by the 8 pointed Star of the Goddess Ishtar bisecting the 4-fold coils of the Dragon Goddess Tiamat...... Rites may be taken in any order suitable for the candidate's progress.

The taking of a degree lies with the Candidate. If Divine Communion takes place in some way during the period of working the Rite, a degree may be conferred.  Hierophants confer Magi degrees with consensus from Candidate and Group.  Magi Degree Correspondence Courses are listed in each Isian News. The Sources of the Liturgy, given at the end of each Rite, are from ancient texts ranging from India, China, Egypt and Europe, to American and Africa.  These from part of recommended reading. Audio-cassette tapes, with Olivia Robertson as a Guide, are provided for all the rituals. 

The Druid Clan of Dana

from 'The Rite of Dana' by the Hon. Olivia Robertson:

      -Initiation in the Druid Clan of Dana-

Companions of the Druid Clan of Dana live as if this were the Golden Age now: And so it is in the Inner Planes! When we open our spiritual sense through our etheric life energy, we see, hear, travel, enjoy life in the Land of Heartīs Desire. The key is love. As this consciousness expands, it affects family, friends and neighbourhood. Even the cat smiles!  Radiations from a Grove, whether this be in city or countryside, heal wordly ills through the auras of humans, animals, trees and stones. Communion with the Deities, with the Sidhe - elemental Beings - and friends in Spirit is enjoyed. There is no death once the soul learns to leave the body in full consciousness.  Our true selves are of the Immortals. Disease, hatred, jealousy and fear are dissolved as we awaken from the world dream which we ourselves have created. We see through the wordly veil and discover the ever living Earth, Body of the Goddess.

In our Grove of Eithne in Clonegal, we honour all true traditions of every race and religion: we respect Ireland's many ways from the pre-Celtic Firbolgs and Formorians, to the Tuathe De  Danaan and Celtic Christians. Dana has showed Herself to me and so I follow her way. Her hair is of the sun, her skin is pale as the moon and her turquoise blue mantle surrounds our islands as the sea. Yet She may appear with golden-ebony skin of Africa or with the copper glow of the Mayans. She is both Earth Mother and Queen of Heaven.

Whenever Dana comes, She brings love, compassion and wisdom. My own vision was in 1952. From 1960 to 1974 the goddess came to us regularly with messages during spiritualsit seances in the Bridge House in Clonegal. It was then that I was given Her name: Dana. The medium was our friend, Dorothy Ryan. The visitations were accompanied by strong silvery electric-like power. After my brother and I had founded the Fellowship of Isis in 1976 Dana showed Herself to our Priestess. The rest of us, including myself, heard angelic chanting. This from deep menīs voice alternating with contralto womenīs voices. It lasted for 15 minutes. The Goddess has also shown herself to our Wicklow neighbour, John Doran the famous Healer, 7th son of a 7th son. As John and I meditated, She gave me this message through him: "Go on. Do well. Preach My Name." I feel that by opening the Druid Clan of Dana to everyone we are fulfilling Her will.........

Our purpose is to move directly from the ancient Irish oral tradition to the telepathic communion of the New Aeon. The Goddess Dana, Mother of the Goddesses and Gods of Eire and of us all, bestows on us Her gifts, now that we are prepared to make good use of them.

The Noble Order of Tara

The Noble Order of Tara came into being on Bealtaine, 1990, through the idea of Douglas Reagan of the U.S.A. who believed that an Order of Chivalry could be founded to inspire men and women to work at saving the environment from pollution. He requested Lawrence Durdin-Robertson to be Chancellor, as, being a Baron, he had the authority through his "Baronial Court" to bestow the accolade.  Both Lawrence and Olivia Durdin-Robertson recognised the imaginative value of the idea and agreed to be Chancellors. The Chivalric Titles, as is customary, are only used within the Order. Members of Priories perform hard work dealing with environmental problems in their areas. The Tutetlary Goddess is Tara of Ireland and Asia. The Order of Tara, as with the F.O.I. in general and the Druid Clan of Dana, is non-political and has no affiliations.
