and for many in the Neo-Pagan community and the spiritual movements which preceded it, Isis is the embodiment of The Goddess. Drawing on ritual and magical techniques from dynastic Egypt to the works of Dion Fortune and the Coven Chthonioi, this retreat will focus solely upon the development of a closer rapport and communion with this Great Goddess.

Please complete the application and mail it, with your payment, in time to be received by 9/24. Mail to: Shawn Fields-Berry, 151 King Street #307, Franklin MA 02038. Upon acceptance you will be sent further information and directions.

In preparation, the following book is suggested: "Isis in the Ancient World" by Witt. Copies can be found on eBay for $20, and more, new, elsewhere. Of course, "Sea Priestess" and "Moon Magic" by Dion Fortune would be useful too.

You will need to bring your own bedding, and a white ritual robe if you have one. Participants will be expected to adhere to some proscriptions of the Isiac priesthood, hence there will be no alcohol or other substances.

There will be some work in preparing physical materials for this retreat. If you enjoy simple sewing and would like to help, please email us.
