“The Goddess does not subtract, She adds - ad infinitum!” ~ Olivia Robertson
This page is dedicated to the centers and hearths of departed FOI members who now walk the starry pathways. They are gone but not forgotten, and their contributions are not forgotten. Olivia Robertson often told us that temples and hearths are still active on the etheric, because the energies of their spiritual work has built a resonance there. Additionally, she said all FOI members are active on the inner planes once they cross over, according to the beliefs of all three FOI co-founders, Lawrence Durdin-Robertson, his wife Pamela and his sister, Olivia Robertson. "It means a lot for friends and colleagues when departed members are honored! Lawrence, Pamela and I always included members in Spirit World as still part of our spiritual fellowship. We always read out their names at Samhain." (Olivia Robertson, Isian News, Beltane, 2009) As you can see in the photo, candles were placed in the window by the co-founders and lit in remembrance. With deep respect and great love for all listed here, "We say your names, that you may live."
