The Temple of Isis Shrines, Clonegal Castle, Ireland


Excerpt from "Guide to Clonegal Castle" by Lawrence Durdin-Robertson M. A. (Dublin), Baron of Strathloch, Priest of Isis (1990)

On the N.E. wall of the Old Hall is a pair of double doors, being the original entrance to the castle. The right hand has a spy-hole and the left another spy-hole through which the muzzle of a gun can protrude. These doors open into the Porch built in 1680 which has its own door, strengthened with a gate. Above it is a coat of arms of the Rev. Lawrence Durdin-Robertson and his wife Pamela (Barclay). To the left of it is the certificate of registration from Mr. G. Slevin, the Chief Herald of Ireland; to the right and left of the porch are displayed the books written by Miss Olivia Robertson and the Rev. Lawrence Durdin-Robertson, connected with the Fellowship of Isis. This was founded in 1976 by Lawrence and Pamela Durdin-Robertson and the Hon. Olivia Robertson, basically as a form of religion to worship the Goddess in her many forms. It is multi-racial, multi-religious and its membership [includes] Catholics and Protestants, Hindus, Shintoists, Cherokee Indians and some others in sixty four different countries which include Ireland, Britain, U.S.A., Germany, Romania, Iceland, Japan and Siberia. Nearly of the F.O.I. are black, from W. Africa. Festivals are held in the Temple eight times in the year, and outside in the Dana Temple as well if the weather permits. Many members of the F.O.I. and other visitors visit part of the Castle and the grounds, and the Temple."
