Letters of Recommendation

Below are some unsolicited letters of support from our students:
(As the courses are the same, please also see the comments page on our In Her Name website)

As someone who has studied with numerous, numerous mystery schools, I always come back to the Lyceum. I was really thinking about how much I have learned from you through the training and course work that I have done thus far. You really have taught me so much. There is an energy transfer from you to me that is almost palpable when I engage in the coursework, and I know that I have been forever changed. Out of all the teachers or mentors that I have had, you are the only one who respected my energy, my connection to Goddess, without trying to change it or judge it. It is such a breath of fresh air, and so very validating. Thank you so much for that!
In gratitude, A.W. from TN

I tend to be gun-shy, suspicious, not to say downright cynical about groups in general and especially correspondence courses -- since I work for a college, we are not favorably impressed by 'degrees by mail!' Having explained all that, I have loved the Crossroads Lyceum courses, and never had anything but warm, compassionate support and encouragement from not only the Archpriestess, but all the priests and priestesses connected with the Lyceum. I've greatly enjoyed the course materials and although I have studied on my own and with a few others for many years before enrolling in the CR Lyceum, my work in the correspondence courses brought many vivid dreams and experiences that deepened my growth amazingly! Really, I can't think of anything but good things to say about my experiences in this Path!

About the two websites we maintain - the Fellowship of Isis Homepage and our Lyceum website:

I think that was a driving force behind my looking for a group like FOI; I came to realize that the answer was beyond those books on my shelves. When I found the FOI website, I knew. If the main site is a bright, shining, gold stone, then the Crossroads site is a beautiful, tranquil, warm and welcoming amethyst.

From the late Olivia Robertson, FOI co-founder:
(n.b. All of the Lyceum curriculum was reviewed by Olivia and Connia Silver received all FOI certifications directly from her.)

"Your course will be reviewed in next Isian News - of course an excellent review which it deserves. I have great faith in your Lyceum and its spiritual radiations, so important as the New Age movement gathers ever-increasing momentum. Lawrence [Durdin-Robertson] and I send you all our warmest blessings to you and your dedicated work in spreading the Truth, Love and Glory of the Goddess. Blessings of Isis and Hecate." (Personal correspondence, 18th April, 1994.)

"It is with great happiness that I write this Introduction. The editor, the Rt. Rev. Connia Silver of the Archpriesthood Union, has understood the very grass-roots of the ideals of the Fellowship of Isis - our honour for each individual member, our enjoyment without deference of the various Romantic titles of antiquity, and the New Age flexibility and freedom. This she combines with basic facts brought together intelligently in this useful manual." (15th March, 2000; "Iseum Manual"; 1st edition)

"I am delighted to welcome this new edition of my first Goddess book by our Fellowship Archpriestess, Connia Silver. I have always admired her spiritual courses, which provide a safe pathway through the Crossroads of Hecate! Through the years, Connia has provided guidance and help to so many members, helping them to understand and pursue the ways of Isis." (2nd March, 2011; "The Call of Isis"; 2011 edition)

"I can safely recommend your course - and have done so. Lots of love & joy & love & laughter, Olivia" (Personal correspondence, 22nd March, 2013. n.b. Olivia Robertson passed to spirit sphere in November, 2013.)
