Sybil, Oracles of the Goddess
Fellowship of Isis Liturgy by Olivia Robertson
Part VI. We Face the Mysteries
II. THE GODDESS NEITH OF EGYPT
Time. We Become Time Travellers
Priestess: (Invocation)
Resplendent Lady, Neith, Goddess of the Starry Vault, Goddess of Magic, give us Thy Oracle! Thou who wert worshipped in
Atlantis and in the Two Lands of Khem, sayeth: "I am All that was, that is, that shall be. None may dare lift My Veil and
live." Therefore with Thine own Hands lift Thy Veil for us, who adore Thee as the White Light of Truth. So knowing All-Time,
we may more fittingly serve Thy Divine Purpose!
Oracle: Do not bargain
with the Deities! You cannot deceive Truth but rather your own selves! Be honest. You know not why you seek occult knowledge,
but seek it you must, with an unquenchable longing! You serve My Divine Purpose in any case, whether you do ill or well: for
if you do ill, the Deities transform the ill to good: and if you do well, it is the same for the Purpose but pleasanter for
yourself.
It is usual for humans to pursue Love with pride: and to treat Truth with
humility. For Love shows so lovely a face that all fly into Her arms. Yet to do so is to court destruction from consuming
passion. But Truth is believed to be so hideous that She is seen as a Gorgon's head entwined with venomous serpents, and so
much be avoided at all costs! It is regarded as safer to prostrate before the veiled Goddess, rather than to lift Her Veil.
Many fear the fate of Oedipus, who gave the factual answer to the Sphinx's riddle, not knowing the true meaning, and so perished
from his own ignorance.
I am amused that you should ask Me to lift My Veil; and because I am entertained
I shall do so, according to your true need, but not for the satisfaction of your curiosity which you dignify with the name
of science. For wit is My prerogative and humour is My salt. The shock when I lift My Veil often brings laughter more than
the tears induced by Love. And you fear laughter, when it is directed against yourself. It is to be reduced to your relevant
size, your true degree. And this in one second kills self-deluded dreams of your importance in relation to others, your high
stature that diminishes your rivals.
However, do not fear. Only fear self-deception. For in reality Truth bears
the most beautiful face of all the Deities. When you gaze into My mirror you may first see the Gorgon's Head of your follies:
but through this mask you will with the eye of discernment see your own immortal beauty. And so you will also see the immortal
beauty hidden in all beings.
