About Rev. Ryn
Let's Get Acquainted
I am Rev. Ryn, an ordained Priestess in the Temple of Isis Invicta, under the Temple of Isis and Isis Oasis Sanctuary in Geyserville, California, under the auspices of The Fellowship of Isis International Clonegal Castle, Ireland. The Fellowship and Temple worship Isis as she is in Egypt and as a world goddess. During the Ptolemaic dynasties, the Goddess Isis moved out of Egypt and other parts of the world. Her temples are found from the British Isles to the Near East and from the Germanic lands (i.e., southern tribes that worshipped the Norse Gods) to sub-Saharan Africa. This is why the Goddess Isis and Goddess Io are considered World Goddess.
For those states in the United States that do not recognize Pagan ordination, I am also ordained through the Universal Life Church, which believes we are all children of the same universe and deserve respect and civil rights. Therefore, these two organizations are not in conflict.
Finally, I am Chief and Seidhr (Spiritual Leader) of Vox Bellicus Religious Organization. We are a family-friendly group catering to the military and Heathen (Norse) lifestyle, culture, and philosophy. We accept people of all faiths and spiritualities. We only have two hard and fast rules. First, you must be willing to live according to the tenets of the culture. Second, frith will be observed.
Frith is a concept of meeting on common ground where all individual issues are to be set aside. There are to be no disparaging remarks, no bullying, no hate, and no discrimination of any kind for any reason, including but not limited to race, ethnicity, gender, sex, sexual orientation, and disability. In all of our spaces, either online or in-person, frith will always be observed.
In between the spiritual and the secular, I work with local communities to educate and advocate for minority religions' religious rights and understanding of their essential religious practices. I go to schools, businesses, government departments, and other necessary places to accomplish these tasks.
On the more secular side, I have a B.A. in psychology and an M.A. in Social Science-Anthropology. I currently work as an Assistant Lab Manager at the Veterans Curation Program. In addition, I am now studying for a second Master's of Legal Studies in Indigenous Peoples Law to help with my work with the local tribes and other advocacy.
I hope you will continue to join me on this journey as we work towards a better world for the next generations. Our ancestors need us to revive the old ways of living—the ways of using only what we need. We can learn together what that means in this modern era of plenty and famine combined.
