Hathor of Dendera Lyceum

Mission Statement

Hathor of Dendera Lyceum is dedicated to the Egyptian Goddess of Love and Beauty.

The mission of Hathor of Dendera Lyceum is to initiate women and men in the mysteries of the Goddess (and God), to provide them with the credientials, skills and knowledge to create and maintain a connection to divine love and spiritual compassion, and the contemplation thereof, in order to manifest it in the physical world, using ourselves as channels. In the Lyceum's Magi Degree course, students travel along the Seventh (Violet) Ray: Northwest to center, Samhain, Night, Neptune and Moon. The goal of the Lyceum is to awaken priests and priestesses to their chosen path of service to the Gods and Goddesses, in order that they may serve and awaken others.

The Iseum and Lyceum uphold the principles of the Fellowship of Isis as set forth in the Manifesto. Any person who agrees with the manifesto can join the Fellowship through the Iseum. Those who are already FOI members-at-large may join the Iseum and/or study the Magi Degree Course through the Lyceum.
