Gaea: Initiations of the Earth

Two Liturgy rites of the Fellowship of Isis, written by the FOI co-founder, Olivia Robertson. It includes the elemental initiation rite for a Knight/Dame within the Noble Order of Tara, as well as the planetary initiation rite of "Isis and Osiris: The Judgment". From the book: "What we think, feel and imagine now, if we act upon it, will make our future. Our intention to save the earth is good. But people striving for green objectives cannot work without inspiration and hope. Nothing stifles the ardent soul more than bureaucracy. Opposing a County Council is harder than fighting a dragon. The humblest ecological project requires Divine Guidance and the co-operation of nature Spirits. To do this we need telepathic communion with Deities through the magic of associative symbols. . .When we are inspired by the Deities of the land, that which appears impossible may come to pass. We may yet save rain forests, oceans, the atmosphere, from destruction and pollution. However, small projects also matter. The efforts of knights, dames and companions of a Chapter to save a pool, a grove of trees, a field, contribute to the whole beautiful dream of Gaea for Her Earth, which will therefore manifest in the future. We shall ourselves be part of that future To commune with the Earth Goddess is to love one's Mother, and so share in her Divine Creation." (FOI Foundation Center authorized publication.)
