DULCE DOMUM. THE FAIR HAVEN
David Alexander Durdin-Robertson passed into spirit world on the 14th
April 2009. He was the only son of two Co-Founders of the Fellowship of
Isis, Pamela and Lawrence Durdin-Robertson, and nephew of Olivia.
He protected Huntington Castle with his skills as a builder, renewing the
foundations. Above all his beautiful, youthful and inspired wood carvings,
twenty-one of them, are focal images in various shrines in the Temple of
Isis. His most noted carving, made when he was eighteen, is the figure of
Isis on the High Altar. She bears a watering-pot on Her head, the Hathor
Crown representing harmony of Sun and Moon.
Globally, David is known in a television documentary on the Castle on the
Discovery Channel. He is shown, bearded, emerging from an ancestor’s
portrait. In an interview he gives an account of an out-of-the-body
experience in the Castle library, surrounded by apparitions – later
identified on the Channel as Druids. The Temple of Isis is shown in the film.
David’s spirit presence manifested to Olivia the day after his passing. He
made two resounding knocks on her door at dawn. Olivia understood that
these were the traditional “Knocks for Admission” to the Egyptian Ritual of
the Coming Forth by Day. This resembles the FOI liturgical Rite of Rebirth
and the Awakening of Osiris and Initiation of the Pylons.
Of course the Ceremonies in the Temple and work of the Fellowship
continue. After all, Isis goes back five thousand years and is powerfully
manifesting in the New Aëon. Our Divine Mother is eternal – as are we all!
