The Temple of Isis is a legally recognized
church and 501(c)3 Non-Profit in California established in June of 1996. We
honor the Goddess Isis, who in modern terms equates with Mother Earth, and has
been worshiped longer than any other deity known on the planet. We refer to Her
as Isis of 10,000 Names, as she has many incarnations in other religions and
practices all over the world.
In honoring Isis we honor the Earth, recognizing the
peril of this time, given the amount of pollution, destruction of endangered
species and violence between countries and each other. We seek to establish
harmony, caring, and love among all people by gently pointing the way to a more
feminine perspective. We have no dogma, but prefer what may humorously be
called catma, a kind of freedom and independence in thought stemming
from the ancient wisdom of Egypt.
We generally follow the principles of the Fellowship
of Isis, out of which our temple was born. The FOI was established by Lady
Olivia Robertson and her brother at Clonegal Castle, Enniscorthy, Ireland,
which has tens of thousands of members in over 80 countries.
Those who are members of the FOI are connected only
by their love for the Goddess as each practices in whatever way they wish. The
idea is to create balance by incorporating the feminine in deity. We all need
the nurturing, forgiveness, and compassion that the Great Mother provides, as
we seek to integrate and strengthen both our lunar and solar qualities.
Those
who become Priestesses and Priests of Isis, within this Temple, pledge to honor
all life and commit to help the earth and her people’s not only for her
preservation but to bring to our lives and the lives of future generations more
light and wisdom.
As legally recognized clergy, our Temple Priests and
Priestesses can be called upon to perform marriages, funerals, hospice visits,
last rites, baby blessings, house blessings, and general spiritual counseling
for those in need. Feel free to call us if you would like to connect with one
of our clergy for these services and more.
If you are interested in becoming part of the Temple
of Isis, we would like to meet you and welcome you to our events and
community. Our Lyceum (a center for learning) is a spiritual community of
like-minded people who wish to build a new world, in peace, balance, and
harmony.
The Temple of Isis is located at Isis Oasis
Sanctuary, on 10 beautiful acres in Geyserville, California. The small Temple
is always open for private meditation time. Our Grand Temple can be rented for
larger events. The sanctuary has a pool, spa, sauna, aviaries of birds and
endangered cats which are bred here, plus a sacred 400+ year old fir tree,
where many of our gatherings begin in circle. We preserve our beliefs and
expand upon them by sacred meditation, ceremony, and connection to earth, as
well as the Goddess current that runs through us all.
The late Rev. and Archpriestess Loreon Vigne of the
temple of Isis undertook to create a modern day version of the ancient 42 Laws
of Ma’at while traveling in Egypt in 1995. she collaborated with eight
other priestesses while journeying on the Nile from Temple to Temple, updating
the principals of life into a modern, positive guide for our community to
embody and follow on their path to seeking the feminine divine.
