EMBRACE OF NUIT A Guided Visualization
by Olivia
Robertson I wish to take us all on a journey - which is a holistic journey
- because the ancient Egyptians were the last sane people as a culture who lived on this planet. They honored all of life,
everything was related to the Gods and the Gods were all related to each other.
We shut out eyes, we come into
the holy embrace of the Goddess Nuit. We repeat the experience of being born … (pause) … We scream, we cry,
but now we come into a place where we face the fear of death, disease and selfish passions, everything we are deeply ashamed
of, and we begin to descend. We are going down, down, to pull up all those things that have been rejected by our higher selves,
all those things we don’t wish to face … within the depths of the earth we journey down …we enter the
dark realm of the Mother, we ask Her for help. We have been abused, we abuse, we hate, we have been hated …
In silence we come to the divine Mother Nuit - Hail Nuit! We approach … tell Her … She loves all that is,
She has brought forth all that is … tell Her what you long for, tell Her what you fear … She listens, She forgives,
She heals. Now She says to face the Underworld is to face the human past. She tells us we have a totem animal. She says this
creature will help us face whatever it is, this totem from the Otherworld will be your guide in the darkness… pause
… it will appear to you now … pause … see it … No longer will you feel fear, that is something
you can cope with. No longer will you be ashamed, or overwhelmed. You are not alone, you are loved, you are guided by this
emissary sent by the Great Mother. You have a friend in the Otherworld sent to help you. You hear the voice of the Divine
Mother … hear … listen … you are told before you sleep, call upon the Mother, you will remember in the
morning that She embraces you, She loves you.
It is strange, a sensation comes now, you feel it in the base of
your spine - a glow rising in you … feel this … the serpent Buto rising … You accept … you accept
the energy brought to you freely, you do not refute, you surrender to the Great Mother, and you begin to rise up, to ascend
from the abyss.
And from the darkness come all manner of colors, colored lights streaming around you. You are told
that you are approaching the Realm of the Moon, the Mirror of Hathor. It reflects the sun and all the stars - here is a beautiful
temple. You enter this temple of Hathor who is there with all the Moon Deities … you see a beautiful lotus pond, gleaming
softly in the moonlight, and you are filled with this light. Look into the pool and see your immortal beloved, you reach gently
down, the soft water falls through your hands. In silence now gaze into the pool and see your dream. It is here you find your
angel guardian, bringing you joy and hope … your angel anoints your forehead from the sacred pool of Hathor, your future
lies in this holy place, home of the Soul of Hathor. You feel indescribable joy, you feel a silvery light coming down into
your forehead, it is glorious … you know this angelic being will guide you in your sleep. But you are told that you
also cannot dream your life away! You are told to rise up …
You rise again, this time you ascend to the
sovereign sun, to the temple of Ra. It is a golden temple with lions at the gates. You see the presiding Goddess - it is Sekhmet.
She is crowned with the sun and sends out a glorious energy. It is the golden light that nourishes the earth. She asks you
to help the earth. You want to know how to help the earth and all creatures upon it. She says to do this you have to find
your true spiritual teacher.
In the silent temple of Ra you are given the answer from your Guide. And you feel
a glow in your solar plexus … listen … You know this Guide, you know this teacher. “I was there with you
at the beginning and I will be with you at the end. Harken to my words.” You feel a glow, an energy within your solar
plexus and heart, you see the inner star, the immortal essence in all that is, feel it shine forth within you, as the Daughters
and Sons of Ra … you can face evil and turn it into good … that is the true alchemy of Sekhmet. She is the true
alchemist. She turns evil into gold. Now you feel strong, you could stay and be happy here … But you are told to ascend
once again …
And you ascend, to enter the realm of soul and of spirit. You rise to Sirius, there are two
stars, the Star of Isis in all Her bright glory and the dark star of Osiris. You see the forms of the Sahu, the Akhu, residing
with Isis and Osiris. You are told to receive your own star deity, awakening within. Your own divinity … you feel as
though you are crowned with life, you feel your spiritual heart awaken and shine. You have known this place, this destiny
has come to you through the work of many lives … you are told to listen and hear, to behold the divine in all that
is … you are surrounded with light, your body is made of only light, and you are told to enter the center of the Milky
Way galaxy. Do not fear, enter the center and feel the crown center of your head and here the sun on your brow, you are crowned
with stars and you stand on the moon. You are led back again to your earthly temple to send forth rays of energy to
all in need with the aid of your Guide. Spread these rays out, feel them spread out … Now we will end this journey
by giving thanks to the Deities, Isis, Osiris, Ra, Sekhmet and Hathor and most of all to the Divine Nuit, Who embraces all.
At this time Olivia asked for reports or experiences to be shared. ______________________________________________

ON THE WINGS OF MAAT
A Guided Visualization
by Olivia Robertson
I want to take you on a magical
journey on the wings of Maat. We are undergoing the rite of passage of balance, a vertical balance and a horizontal balance.
We are entering into a place of depths of the heart - within the Womb of the Mothers. As we
follow the ancient Egyptian path, we approach two dark obelisks with golden tips flanking an alabaster portal in the side
of a mountain. Anubis stands there, all black, with His great upright ears, robed in gold. Tehuti, robed in black, stands
on the other side. They are the guardians of the portal. Each stands silently, gazing into the heart of a mystery and not
sharing what He sees. Silently, They beckon us to pass. Within we expect to see only darkness, but no! We find ourselves within
the temple of the gods and goddesses of earth. It is dark, but we find ourselves in a mighty hall of hewn stone, with pillars
reaching upwards into darkness above us, along the sides of a great passageway. Here in the dark womb of the earth, within
the realm of Geb we hear chanting. “We honor truth. We honor virtue. We honor heaven. We honor the earth.”
And it is here in the dark halls of earthly initiation that we first learn to honor truth, we first learn to love, to uphold
virtue, we learn to honor all of life in it’s many forms. And it is here that we must face the Goddess of mysterious
depths. Now the dark gateway becomes luminous as though veiled in a shimmering dimness like
a mist. The misty veil draws aside and we see a mighty cavern, wherein stands the Goddess Nephthys. Her face is dark, and
She is veiled. She at first seems deathlike, skeletal, but as we contemplate Her, the lines of her body become softened with
beauty, and we glimpse great and dark mysteries within the folds of Her veil. And She beckons us to enter the blackness of
the cavern. We hear chanting as we approach the darkness, which seems like a void. It is the black hole, an inner gateway
within ourselves….we hear voices chanting, “My Heart is Pure”…and we see a great black
river of potent healing water. It flows in this realm of Nephthys, giving healing - healing of the heart, of the spirit, for
those who are wounded and tired. For this is the Realm of the Heart. And She draws aside the veil from Her face. We stare
into Her great dark eyes and we see the vulture Goddess Nekhbet. She is the Protectress of the temple, the Protectress of
life, She is the harbinger of hope even in times of famine and despair. And the Mother of Death and Life gives us a gift for
our journey. She gives us a vision of understanding. For this is the place where light meets darkness, where day meets night,
where life meets death. It is the place where insight brings wisdom to the mind and spirit, where hearts meet each other in
empathy. It is where we look upon the face of anyone who hates or dislikes us, anyone who has wronged us. We may also see
dislike within ourselves for others. We have all hurt, we have all been hurt. Nephthys smiles
and holds up a mirror. Images swirl across it’s surface. The mirror of Nephthys shows us what these others hate
is something they find in themselves, and that we do not have to suffer. We are free from that which we ourselves dislike.
We are free from that which hurts us. The Goddess is here to allow us to rise above it. As we realize this, our hearts are
healed. Suddenly, we are free! And we feel ourselves begin to rise. The earth has grown insubstantial and we pass through
it easily. We rise upwards through the earth, into the sky above, to the portal of the temple of the Sun, the land of golden
light, of life, love and happiness. And we leave behind the dark, healing cavern of Nephthys. We
are in the realm of Ra and of Hathor. We rise to find the sacred temple of the solar body, with two golden pylons on either
side of the temple gateway, whose height fades into the sky above and whose columns then descend downwards into the earth
below. And we are told we cannot rise to the heights without first experiencing the depths. We are told this as the Goddess
Maat of Truthfulness questions us: “Are you truthful of spirit and honest of heart? Are you truthful to the very
depths of your being?” Only then are you able to enter the Hall of the Goddess Maat. She has a mighty auric manifestation
and mighty feathered wings. The Two Pillars stand balanced on either side of Her. “Are you balanced in your judgment
when you feel passion? Wisdom is the balance you need in your life.” Come to the Goddess, be truthful, tell Her.
Look at the face of the Great Goddess. She lifts Her veil and Her perfect beauty is both lovely and wise. She says “Honor
the other.” Let us unburden ourselves of one particular injustice that troubles us, one particular thing we
hate, however difficult. (pause) Suddenly we feel like laughing! We feel like being friendly.
We are glad. Anubis and Tehuti are standing there near the balance of Maat, and we put aside all sorts of things we feel obligated
to be in the earthly world, we set aside earthly cares. In this sudden lightening of heart, we begin to rise. We leave
behind the beautiful golden temple of the sun. Now we reach unfathomable heights in the heavens,
and approach Sirius, the Star of Isis, which is really two stars. These are the stellar twins, the Souls of Isis and of Osiris.
They are the Divine Twins of Alchemy. We feel star power like a fountain falling through us. Isis and Osiris are joined in
one single united flow of being, light of both God and Goddess shine as one within our Spirit. We ask to be given insight.
Without the Light of Spirit we are as though dead and we are nothing. Isis and Osiris together pour a stream of Holy Light
into the darkness of our being. As we face Isis and we face Osiris we are given our own Guiding Light. A dream is given to
us - it may be a vision of beauty. It may be a nightmare, but the ills within it are given to teach us. We accept
what is given to us, and learn the wisdom of it. Isis and Osiris give us a lamp, a light to guide us on our way. Its light
shows us that we have been given a key to heaven and to hell. Each one of us has our own key residing within us always. And
we are shown it now. (pause) As we pass through the veils of starlight in the heavens,
we see that Hell is just a reflection of Heaven. We have been given a symbol or key which will give us access to the realm
of light. And from the heights of star power, we now begin to draw back to earth. We now descend through the Golden Gateway
of Ra and Hathor, Goddess and God of the sun. We descend and go through the dark pylons of Geb. And we realize the balance
of Maat, the wisdom of Nekhbet, the healing of Nephthys, and the guiding light of Isis and Osiris are within us
all of the time. Our green world, which is the mantle of Geb, is a reflection of the blue heaven
of Isis and the black cavern of Nephthys. We send out love, truth and harmony to all beings.
Holy Isis, Holy Nephthys, we give You our thanks that You are ever within us. So be it.
Finish. _______________________________________________
Monday evening, November 12,
2001 Dark moon in Scorpio FOI Phoenix Gathering Phoenix, Arizona ORACLE OF ISIS AND A GUIDED VISUALIZATION Given by the Goddess to Olivia Robertson
An Oracle of Isis through Rt. Rev. Olivia Robertson The Oracle of Isis.This is the darkest hour before the dawn of the new aeon. We
that you call the gods are drawing aside the veil between the psychic realm and the earthly area. More and more people dream
dreams, they have visions, the young, and here we have conflicts. The old who have long established teachings, good in their
day, feel death is coming upon them. Death of all they believed in, death of the religion of their forefathers. Death of what
they believed is true and will bring punishment if they lost belief. This is the time when the snake sheds it’s skin,
it is a time of tribulation, and suffering, of fear and confusion in those who reject the spiritual world or who have distorted
ideas of it, drawn not from experience but from the past. Each one of you this evening has come for a particular purpose; you, each one of you have been chosen to do a task,
to help those around you enter a new phase which will bring much change. There will be change in your climate brought about
by the folly of your scientists and your misuse of nature. There will be terrible attacks from those who follow the old patriarchal
rule that itself crushed the old mother rule. This is not an age coming that is of the mother or of the father, it is of those
young in heart who can embrace change and bring about creativity. And the young in heart among the old will rejoice to see
our day, this is what you call the Second Coming, the Age of Aquarius, the Age of Prophecies. So be joyful, you are people of courage, each one of you has chosen to be incarnate
at this time. Every night enter the portals of sleep to receive my coming. I who seek the lost, who seek the body of Osiris,
who seek those who sleep; for all of this life is only a dream and you have turned it to nightmare. Now is the time to awaken.
A Message from the Goddess Isis A message from Isis. Isis speaks to me: “Do not fear death, do not fear darkness,
for each of you has within you eternal life. Not because you belong to any religion or any path but because it is in you anyway
- whether you are good or whether you are what you think wicked. For the wicked have the divine spark and it is often cloaked
in the good. Those who commit evil are most apt to repent and change.” A Guided Journey Now we will take a guided journey. So I want you to descend into the underworld, the place of the past, the
forgotten things of what you repress. Descend through the darkness, through the earth. The earth is transparent to you, you
go down and it is here in the place of lost memories and abused childhood you are the abuser, you are the abused, you are
the killer, you are the slain, you are the cruel, you are the merciful, you are the victim, you are the tyrant, down, down
to the place of forgotten things. From the center
of the earth rules Allat, the goddess; Persephone, the queen; Erishkegal, Kali, it is the realm of the dark Kali and of the
things of Durga, of the blue Tara and the awful yellow Tara. It is a place of passion, of hate, of lies, the face of fear.
It is the womb of the mother, when you lie caught in your mother’s womb, you dread being born, the pain of the dark
passage before you come into light. Enter the plane within the earth where rule the mothers. And yet this is beautiful. There
is the light - the inner sun within the earth around you which we seat ourselves. This is the place where we face the devil
because there is no devil which is not projected by ourselves or we would not see it. We face what we dislike in others and
it is in us, we face what we have hidden, anger, hatred, jealousy, greed, fear, nightmares, in silence and we bring them all
to the mother. And she disposes of them for us in this sun, she just throws them away. Come to the loving mother, she loves
us, she forgives and we learn to forgive ourselves. Do this in silence, give her our obsessions. Feeling then immense relief,
we throw something more - guilt. Every time we
blame others we feel guilt. Thinking, throw away our guilt. We accept that there is evil, it is only there to teach us. We
are in a school. All these things we think terrible aren’t really there. What is real? It is the earth mother who has
given us birth. She is real, like her the earth is transparent, and she’s seated there and she sees the stars around
us. And we sit like her, center of the earth where is the inner sun. And we can look through the earth and we see the stars,
and we feel love, we feel relief, we condemn none, we condemn, we reject evil, but not the evildoer, we reject no being.
And as we think this, the mother tells us to believe her
and to rise, and we begin to rise through the earth, the green earth, and into the beautiful sky. And we have a longing that
is not for the earth mother at all, it is for fairy stories, for romance, for beauty, hope, for love, for art, beautiful,
soft music. This is what we want. As we enter this sphere, we enter into the world of the moon, the spiritual moon, it is
the mirror of Hathor, the mirror of the sun, the mirror of everything we have been. We have lost our dreams. It’s dreadful
when we’re young, seeing the beauty of fairyland and people tell us it wasn’t there. It is, it is more real than
earth. This is the realm of magic, this is Avalon, this is Elysium, this is Paradise. Enter into the silvery grotto, it’s
marvelous, everything seems silvery. There are deer here and there are animals, everything is beautiful. And there is the
Queen there, Queen Diana, queen of magic, queen of night. Beautiful. While we lie in bed losing our consciousness in sleep,
she is always there, and she is here with us now. We ask her to make our dreams come true. We ask her to bring her dreams
to us, and she will show them to us in her mirror during the coming year on earth. She summons our dreams in the magic of
beauty and love. Out in dreams we wander, venture, we venture throughout space. Having the traveler’s heart we turn
about. She holds the magic mirror. And she shows that what we dream at night happens next day. Believe it. Yes, this is true.
We leave our dreams for now, to have another dream. It
is beautiful to dream, but we do love. There are those we love, and as we feel this we begin rise to the realm of the sun.
And we look outward at the sun, at the temple of the sun, and we reach it. And this is a stepped pyramid. The gods dwell above
like a shining light. But we don’t aspire to gods, we want to meet those who died. And you are here, and animals we
want to meet who died, animals, and beautiful trees that were cut down, they’re all here. And in this realm of the sun
with love, and cheerfulness and happiness we find those we love, and those we are to meet. For the guide is here. Feel. Welcome.
They must be invited, we invite them. It is time for silence, their time, now. The biggest gift each one of us gives to them
who dwell in this spiritual sun, is our hearts still yearn. Feel this wonderful life, they love us, they’re like us,
they catch light, as stars. They have been prayed for and we know they have been cured. They are free, they are joyous. Silence.
Seek. They tell us they come to us in dreams, we said it is only a dream we cannot see. Our depression, our sadness speaks
to these beings of old, they are our own. They remind us that any time we want to call them to remember, to know there is
no death, though they are gone. This is life, very jolly, very cheerful folks, the sun and the golden apples of the heart.
But even as we enjoy this place, we are called
to go further. There is something in us that wants the divine, spirit, beyond, even life. And we begin to rise, to the stars,
to the depths of the holy veil, all these stars, and we reach the realm of Sirius, the twin stars of all twin souls, Isis
and Osiris, Radha and Krishna, Sita and Rama, Eros and Psyche, Ariadne and Theseus. And this is the realm where we find our
own twin soul, and this is spiritual. It is the first vision of duality, man and woman, of every creature. We become star
beings of light in the Soul of Isis. We find the temple of truth, enter it and there is the ever living flame of our divinity.
And here at last we find angels, pure angels and spirits, and we receive communion with our own guardian angel in peace and
joy. Seek. And our pure guardian angel has always been there, though we’ve been lost, but now we have found our way
gives us love and help. And in turn, we need to help the angels by being able in these coming days by receiving their light.
Feel this tingling, about our face, it is tingling
on our brow, round us, a glorious sunset light. And one of our guides gives us a symbol. And this symbol is a key - whatever
we think, it may be a flower, or a plant, or a rock, or a stone, or a shell or anything that we need to come to the other
realms. We are given our key by the spirits. Now we are told we must face again a journey. We must go to the center of our
galaxy to meet with our mothers the stars above. For every star is necessary for us and we are stars, among all human beings,
each person contains them. So we all spiral
again, to the center of the galaxy, where some say is a great sun - there isn’t! There is at the center a black hole,
and we are shocked and we are astonished and we look in. And then it seems strangely familiar, enter the darkness and we see
a little hut, and a little fire. And we come in and we see in the fire, in front of it, we see an extraordinary old woolen
cloak and three women in black, seated round. There’s a young maiden passing her needle, and a queenly woman and an
ancient enchantress. And they gesture, look at us, to sit down. Feel forewarned, these are the Norns, the Fates. The past,
the present, the future, the destiny, woven directly, deeds, lives, those of all beings. And even the gods obey the fates.
We sit in awed silence as they weave our destinies. We do not ask about it. They remain cloaked, silent. We wait, we feel
them regard us. The past, present and future are one, we are one in fate, their fate. Total, this past, present and future
all in us. And as we sit near, we feel we must go close to the weavers. And we think their spirits sing at us, feel their
laughter. They tell us to just go and to look at the fire when we get there. And we’re looking down at the fire and
suddenly it becomes a gigantic star, it is Sirius, and now we’re back at Sirius. What is this? Going down the center
of the spiral and not spiraling around, this is the fourth cup, the past, present and future, all in one. And suddenly we see the sun, the fire is the sun. We’re back in the jolly
realm of the sun. And we look at it again and here comes the pale face of the dark moon, silent. And we go on looking, finally
it ends, we’re at the inner sun of our earth with the earth mothers, and they are the fates, they are the mothers. We
are filled with a deep peace, there is nothing to fear between either dying or being born. We came by the long dark passage
with light at the end. And we are told to return to our own temple and we think we must rise up through the earth, but no,
we are still in the hut of the Norns. We’ve only gotten a look at the fire and come back to ourselves! So we sit in
the center of the earth and we look at the fire, and gradually it changes and it becomes one candle, one candle. And we look
at that and we see that a lot of people have candles, and to each of them it’s their one candle, the divine spirit.
And we come back to our bodies fully, feeling a beautiful warmth, a shining light, a crown of stars on our heads, glowing
jewels our throats, glowing hearts, sex centers, legs, feet, arms, we are back. And in this state we send out thoughts of
healing and health, and ask for those who have been killed or maimed in the recent events, to all in need. Finish. The Circle of Isis Advisory Board
