When I tell my life story, listeners are amazed at the coincidences that
permeate the various twists and turns I have taken. I realize that I have
experienced a great many aspects of what a human being is about, all in
order to be worthy of the title of Priestess. I am happy to share the lessons
I have learned in this unusual life.
Although I didn't realize it at the time, Isis, the
ancient Egyptian Goddess of Nature, became my mentor, and perhaps even
my mother, at the tender age of six. It was she who later prompted me to
create Isis Oasis and to develop and expand it for twenty-five years. In
her honor I continue to do her work. I believe the name and spirit of the
Goddess Isis must be kept alive in this modern world. |

Isis is a feminine deity with magical powers. She is known today as
Mother Earth and certainly is not as loved and respected as when Isis was
honored in ancient Egypt. The Temple of Isis is part of a larger movement
that is bringing that reverence for Nature, as personified by the Goddess
Isis, once again to the forefront of human understanding.
Those who believe that there is an imbalance
in all areas of this contemporary era will do well to connect with the
Goddess.
So, here I present to you the story that brought me
to this place. I relate the many journeys that have been prelude to my
life's final denouement. As I re-remember the various events that are woven
into the fabric of my web of existence, I can see the images so clearly,
as if no time at all had passed. They are precious recollections, each
bringing further understanding of the position in which I now find myself.
I have now grown old and have manifested, with the
aid of the Goddess, a fair amount of opulence throughout my long life.
I know it is my destiny to leave a legacy of bringing the Temple of Isis
back into prominence. It is an ancient concept, perhaps older than any
other belief system on the planet: the return to the divine feminine and
the expansion of freedom of thought, free of dogma. I coined the word"
catma" to express the qualities of the Temple of Isis. A cat is independent
and balanced, loving and gentle.
At Isis Oasis we create a world of our own within the
world that exists outside. We surround ourselves with other creatures of
Nature, with art and beauty, and with the conviction that what we have
created here must be shared freely with others. The ancient tree that is
the centerpiece of this amazing ten acres of land is a source of wonder
and wisdom. I know my path is to make certain that this vision is carried
on beyond me to continue to expand like the roots of the sacred tree.
May you enjoy the romp through the passages of my time on Earth with me,
and may your life, too,
take turns that will
lead you to awaken your dreams and live your passion! |
