The Ideals of Maat #13 I Honor all Creatures with Reverence.

Here at the ISIS Temple, we have many exotic cats and a huge amount of birds and a collection of insects and reptiles. We like to show our creatures to those passing so that they may learn to know them more intimately. Each has it's own personality, and it's own exquisite beauty. Look into the eyes of any creature and you will see a whole world within the species y ou are observing. We humans are also creatures, with perhaps a more developed brain, but to observe the feats possible to some insects, to speak with some birds, to realize that a snake can show affection, to play with a charming cat is to understand the connections of all nature. We honor and pray each noon a prayer that declares us the protector and preserver of all life. It is our intention to uphold this prayer; heal all creatures when needing this, feed all creatures who are hungry, admire the beauty in each one, and generally care for them all with reverence.
Lady Loreon Vigne and her priestess traveling to Egypt in the 1990's collected in the Temple of Philae and wrote these 42 Ideals inspired by the 42 Laws of Maat. Since then they have been recited world wide and developed into a booklet you can purchase from the Temple of Isis in Geyserville, California. You can find their information by looking up Isis Oasis Temple of Isis and you may also try calling them at 707 857-4747 ( ISIS).
Looking at this entry, I remember Lady Loreon telling me many years ago her true love was for animals. She bought the Isis Oasis to continue her desire to protect endangered cats and to care for other animals like large birds and reptiles and insects. Lady Loreon was fascinated by insects; She loved spiders and all types of creepy crawlers. If you visit the Isis Oasis, you can sign up for their animals tours. The Isis Oasis Sanctuary is home to the Temple of Isis a nonprofit church that offers Sunday programs and week day noon time prayers and rites. They have unique lodging and delightful staff. You can receive tarot care readings, astrology readings, healings and counsel of many forms. With spring time here for us to enjoy, I encourage you to call the Isis Oasis for a visit . You will be glad you did.
