Isis of the Stars Archpriesthood Union (AU) Center |
As an Archpriest in the Fellowship of Isis (FOI), Michael Starsheen is part of what our founder, Lady Olivia Robertson, refers to as the "Rainbow Network of Harmony," a vehicle through which she is distributing control and administrative activity for the Fellowship. She has authorized Michael to include information concerning the Fellowship of Isis on this site, and to present his views as to meanings, structures, and processes within the Fellowship. All Fellowship activity through the Temple of Isis of the Stars are conducted according to the established structures of the Fellowship, as described at our sister site, the Circle of Isis Official Central Global website.
Lady Olivia describes Michael as a "mystic of the Fellowship," and thus his approach is slightly different than that of other FOI sites. He has a much stronger focus on living and enjoying the mysteries and fellowship among members than on the nuts-and-bolts detail of FOI rules and regulations. As an archpriest, this site also serves as a central administrative site in coordination with the other global sites, but you will find that it is much more eclectic than either of the two mentioned above. All opinions expressed within these pages are Michael's and are not to be taken as FOI "gospel."
Michael, in conjunction with some of the other Temple of Isis of the Stars members, is currently developing a ritual liturgy for solitary practitioners based on Lady Olivia's Magi and Adepti dramas. These dramas may be used to achieve various initiate, adept, and magi levels within the FOI as described in the Spiral of Adepti and the Magi degree program under the tutelage of an appropriate preceptor or hierophant. Priesthood training, however, will use the traditional liturgy, and must be accomplished under the tutelage of an ordained FOI priest or priestess, of which there are several associated with the Temple of Isis.
We seek toward fostering a loving, considerate community of friends within the Fellowship of Isis, who choose to work together, study together, and exchange information in the original spirit of Aset Shemsu. We are less concerned with details of structure, levels, and regulations than other sites, but can direct interested parties to the appropriate information if you contact us.
Archpriest Michael A. Starsheen heads up the Isis of the Stars organization, and is designing this site to serve the spiritual communities with a mystical take on the worship of the ancient Gods and Goddesses. As an Archpriest, Michael serves the FOI community as a liason for information and coordination of training and performance of liturgical dramas, and for community building. He is a strong spiritual teacher, author of several books, and artist. You can reach Michael directly by email.
