If you can believe in and uphold the contents of the FOI Manifesto, you are basically a member of the Fellowship of Isis.  The next step is to explore the FOI Central website.  Use the link to go on a visit.  Read about Iseums and Lyceums.  This Lyceum is dedicated to Hathor.  Adepti Degrees and Magi Degrees are the focus of this teaching body.  By engaging in the work of this Lyceum, you may become an Adept, Priest/ess, or Priest/ess Hierophant.  Also look at some of the liturgy.  Don't try to read it all at once.  Rather, when you see something that catches your eye, give it a good read.  The liturgy related to Adepthood is found in Dea including the Dedication Rites, Seasonal Rites, and Daily Rites, as well as Panthea, Psyche, Gaea, and Tara of the Oracles.  The Magi Degrees for Priest/esshood are Rite of Rebirth, Ordination of Priestesses and Priests, the Isis Wedding Rite, the mysteries from Dea, as well as the Sophia and Urania books.
     A focused program of study is required before actually performing a Rite.  In this Lyceum, this takes the form of a study guide.  The study guides contain a variety of questions concerning the Rite in question.  Some questions require research and some require meditation and contemplation.  I am notoriously demanding with the study guides.  Dedication is a prerequisite.  However, it's a good idea to take some time off between performing the Rites so that the last performed can have time to assimilate and the spiritual preparation for the next can take place.  If you use that down time to answer the study guide questions, you would only need to deal with a few a day.  After you've answered the questions, you send them to me, I read them, then I give you the thumbs-up to actually perform the Rite.  While there are some things I am looking for in some of the questions, there are no right or wrong answers.  The purpose of the study guide is to create a mystery vehicle that will greatly enhance the Rite for you.
     All of the goddess work is offered with no charge.  
     In order to keep score, a credit system is used.  Spiral of Adepti Rites are worth 1 credit.  Magi Degrees are worth 2.  A system from the Core Curriculum is awarded 2 credits.  Lightarian attunements are performed for 4 credits.  Engaging in a Qabalistic framework of study associated with a Rite adds 2 credit to that Rite.  To attain Preist/esshood a total of 26 credits is needed.  The candidate must also go through a Rite of Initiation and of Ordination.   Priest/ess Hierophancy candidates must have 32 credits, have performed 4 Magi Degrees, and met other requirements.  A Hierophant is a type of Priest who specializes in guiding people through the Magi Degrees on the Star of Ishtar.
