The original announcement of publication of the COI website to the internet

A new Circle of Isis website:
Saturday, November 19, 2005
A new website for the Circle of Isis has been published to the internet. You are cordially invited to view the site at:
http://lotuspharia.freeyellow.com/thecircleofisis/
Circle of Isis members have assisted in the typing of the FOI Liturgy, and in the creation, editing and proof-reading
of our new website pages, a project we eventually named O.S.I.R.I.S.
Special acknowledgement is extended to Barbara Westlake and Kasey Conder for freely sharing their beautiful
photography, and to Linda Iles for her illustrations of the Star of Ishtar, based on the original drawing by Chesca Potter.
We also wish to express our gratitude to Lady Olivia Robertson, ArchPriestess and FOI co-founder, for her
untiring enthusiasm, support and assistance.
An hour after sunset tonight in the southwestern portion of the sky, Venus is visible near the fixed star
Nunki in the constellation of Sagittarius. Nunki is “The Star of the Proclamation of the Sea” and the “Voice
from the Sea” because this star provides direction and guidance, and is “a star directly seeded by the
center of the galaxy…directly connected to the nexus of wisdom and awareness” emanating from the galactic
center. It is here that all creative forces originate, “stimulating a new contextual view, a new idea, or a remembrance
of an old idea now brought into form in a new way.” *
May the Starry Wings of Isis guide us all on our journeys,
Linda Iles
Honorary Secretary
Circle of Isis

About Our Copyright Notice and Website Content
The Circle of Isis Advisory Board has been authorized by Lady Olivia Robertson
to publish the Fellowship of Isis Liturgy in full on the Circle of Isis website. Her
instructions concerning the functioning and content of the Circle of Isis website were most explicit.
The FOI Liturgy as it appears on this website is the product of many years of
research and a period of just over one year spent in typing out the final drafts of the rituals. The content of
the FOI Liturgy as it appears on this site contains previously unpublished corrections to the original liturgy texts and an
altered format. This altered format does not affect the wording of the rituals. All
the contents of the FOI Liturgy on the Circle of Isis website have been personally viewed, approved and authorized by
Lady Olivia Robertson. All the contents of the other pages on the Circle of Isis website have been personally viewed, approved and
authorized by Lady Olivia Robertson.
The letter below was written by Olivia at Isis Oasis after reviewing the last of the corrections, edits and
revisions, prior to the publishing of the Circle of Isis website on November 19, 2005.
Lady Olivia Robertson stated to the members of the Circle of Isis that she
has shared copyright of the FOI Liturgy with other FOI members over the years in order to further the mission of the Fellowship
of Isis. She has never signed over sole copyright/ownership of the entire Fellowship of Isis Liturgy. She has
given permission for use of the entire liturgy to the official FOI central websites, the FOI HomePage and the Circle
of Isis Central Website, which feature the liturgy online as a service to all members. This is why our copyright
notice is worded as it is on the website.
Due to the corrections, altering of format and all other proofing, research, typing, editing and revisions,
the FOI Liturgy presented on the Circle of Isis website is considered by law, a legally separate work, thus protected by a
separate, legal copyright.
The FOI liturgy on the Circle of Isis website, which is legally protected by a separate copyright,
is therefore not included in any sharing of copyright of the liturgy that Olivia Robertson may decide to extend
to other FOI members.
All content on the Circle of Isis website, including written materials, photos and the liturgy are protected
by copyright and not to be reproduced without first acquiring permission of the COI Advisory Board. Permission is only obtained through unanimous
vote by members of the COI Advisory Board.
The Circle of Isis extends thanks and appreciation to the COI members who participated in the typing of the
FOI Liturgy and in the creation, editing and proof-reading of our new website pages, a project we eventually named
O.S.I.R.I.S. Special acknowledgement is extended to Caroline Wise, Johnny Merron and Steve Wilson for archival
information, Johnny Merron, Barbara Westlake, Kasey Conder and Renee Samaniego-Lundy for freely sharing their beautiful
photography, to Starsheen for sharing a first edition copy of the FOI Liturgy book "Panthea, Initiations and
Festivals of the Goddess," and a written account of the FOI Tarot Reading, and to Linda Iles for her illustrations
of the Star of Ishtar, based on the original drawing by Chesca Potter. We also thank Linda Iles for researching, proofreading
and typing out the FOI liturgy that appears on this website. We deeply thank Paulina Brianu and Dr. Gina Pollaro
for technical advice.
We also wish to express our gratitude to Lady Olivia Robertson, ArchPriestess and FOI co-founder, for
her untiring enthusiasm, support and assistance. We thank her for the artwork and photos she has sent for
use on the Circle of Isis website.
