New Information on the 42 Laws of Ma'at .

Painting by Diveena Priestess of Shesheta and Founder of the Temple of the Crowned Horus 

Recently I was having a conversation with one of our priests from the Fellowship of Isis .

He was saying , quite convincingly, that it is not wise to altar the 42 Laws of Ma'at .

 I believe he was giving reference to the Ideals that I share every week .
The 42 Ideals of Ma'at Booklet by Lady Loreon Vigne
I am always very enthused by conversations of this nature ,

 because I find it stimulates my mind and others. 

After some contemplation on the matter, I finally came to this conclusion .

My Life with Imhotep 

The 42 Ideals Of Ma'at were channeled in the Holy of Holies in Egypt by Lady Loreon Vigne' and 12 priestess of Isis and the FOI . Each week these Ideals are posted as being Inspired from the 42 Laws of Ma'at. Inspired is a key word here.  I add each week , my "Musings" on these ideals.  I believe that these ancient laws were given to us to help us balance our scales of Truth which we live by. Furthermore ; they may go so far as to even remind us when we are straying too far from our original purpose in these bodies , so we can remain a clear and open channel for the Primal Will To Good , while distributing HER divine elixir of immortality. 

 What is this elixir ? It is my impression that the FOI manifesto supports the elixir as  "Love, Beauty and Truth . " The very same alchemy that creates true Wisdom. The foundation of strength which supports our cosmos . Please remember this is my interpretation. I feel
there is nothing outside of this.  Do not take my word for it. Form your own. You can review this manifesto and the truth at the official hearth of the FOI below.

It came to me some time ago when I discovered that Lady Olivia was not physically returning to the United States, just how important it was to build my Ka Connection to her. I cherished our very minute times alone together at the Temple of Isis back in the early days.  Her Laugherter and Her divinity , Her supreme example of un shakable faith in her self realization and soul realization, was natural and non intimidating. She was the epitome of a loving vessel or clear and open channel for the Divine Union of Auset and Ausar .  Somehow she blended in all the experiences I had had in my life. My work with the Fay , My long standing pujari training in Vaisnavism, the work with the Pagan rituals to preserve and honor the Earth and Moon and Stars. All of this was brought under the Mother of 10,000 names. Simple and with loving invitation. This was the example I wanted to become and thereby this is what I trace my star light to each day and night. Breath can connect us to every part of creation . I feel you Lady Olivia . Your tenderness and your strength in this Truth. 

With all of this said , I have to say, that I found simply devotion is wonderful , but to continue to build my bond to the core of Lady Olivia's essence  is my desire . So I do continue , each day , to study the Liturgy she has left for all of us. This is transcendental and when one enacts it or even sincerely reads these passages and oracles,  they are transcendentally teleported to the Embrace of Mother Isis . That which is the stardust in all our DNA. 

Thanks to the devotion of Rt. Rev Linda Iles 

 If it were not for Lady Linda Iles the FOI Secretary For the Fellowship of Isis Central Site , we would not have the Fellowship of Isis Central Site nor the unadulterated teachings of Lady Olivia Robertson. Thousands of hours has been donated to these writings and photographs and paintings of the FOI and its history and liturgy, so we can have them for free at our fingertips.  

This is the second most cherished gift I have received in my life.  Thank You dear Isister Linda Iles. 

The Weighing Of The Heart 

When Lady Olivia left her body I was in the midst of sharing these Ideals of Ma'at weekly , as I had been reading them daily for several years now.  

Shortly before Lady Olivia left her body ,  I read in the Samhain Issue of the Isian News ,  she requested us to write a mystery play Called" The Weighing Of The Heart. "

 I knew I could not finish this task by Samhain because I was concentrating my energies on the ritual I perform every year with Rev. Annie Waters. 

"The Ancestors Mass " formally called the ' Celtic Dumb Supper "

A integrated , multi cultural ritual I regularly perform at The Temple of the Muse of I.S.I.S. 

Hosted by My Lyceum  The Isian Society For Integrated Studies . 

Taking a deep breath I carried on with the Mass and the writing of this rite and soon after was informed Our Lady Olivia had indeed left her earthly body . 

I knew then this Mystery Play had to be done and that I would incorporate the help of the Mask Maker Lauren Raine from Rainewalker Studios and founder of the Masks of the Goddess Collective to create a new set of Ritual Masks.

I am carrying on with my research of the 42 Ideals of Ma'at and the the 42 Negative Confession research. Ma'at was my first connection to Isis and Isis Oasis and I return now after 26 years if service to the FOI to write this ritual performance piece. 

Interestingly enough, I see that in Miss Raine's channeled art piece above I am weighing my heart. 

If we look at this weeks New Year forecast , you will see that it is time to be very serious about our devotion.  How we have declared ourselves in this life at this time is something to water like a creeper of rare form. 

This declaration is the source to connect us through the next turn of events that are unfolding even how as I write this . 

Oracle

" And I say unto you, that which rides upon your breath and leads you to my feet , this will be your deliverance .  It is not time to be faint of heart but strong in your truth. 

Speak your truth and dance your dance ,  resound your celestial sound that resonates throughout eternity. It is this rare and perfect vibration that has birthed your forms and sustains you lifetime after lifetime, with every perfect breath.  

Remember that my love for you is as constant and the sun in the heavens reminding of you Ra's eternal flame, illuminating your Ka and sustaining every part of your chalice which we reside in ."

Conclusion 

It is not my intent to passively keep you locked into my personal musing. I do hope you find them somehow encouraging and stimulating.  For you to read my work touches my heart deeply. I appreciate all the responses I have been getting , especially from some of the Arch Druid Union and the College Of Isis and The FOI Advisory Board members.  They have been here traveling the Life of the FOI in the US with me from the beginning. Thank you for your encouragement and Isian Love. 

Everyday I feel the tread of  Our spiral of truth grow stronger and connecting all of us. Each one of us. For no star has greater or less worth in the heavens.  We are just that a star upon Her Starry Crown.  Hail Isis Urania. My heart belongs to your Love and Truth. !

Just to let you know I am continuing with my research on the 42 Ideals and will carry on with my Mystery Play to be used in the convocation for the Fellowship of Isis This year.  Trance dancers, Percussionists, Orators and Hierophants please let me know if your interested in participating. There is going to be a lot of nectar to be shared in this ritual. I would love for you to be part of it. 

I will also post this ritual the night of the convocation for those who can not attend to read it when we perform it and attune with us. 

Here is the recent tid bit of nectar I found. 

Please enjoy 

New information on the 42 laws of Ma'at.
"  These declarations varied somewhat from tomb to tomb, and so can not be considered a canonical definition of Ma’at. Rather, they appear to express each tomb owner’s individual conception of Ma’at, as well as working as a magical absolution (misdeeds or mistakes made by the tomb owner in life could be declared as not having been done, and through the power of the written word, wipe that particular misdeed from the afterlife record of the deceased). "
