Welcome to the Mysteries of Isis with DeTraci Regula

Isis is known as the goddess with 10,000 names because the love of her devotees have taken her out of Ancient Egypt up to Scotland to India, to the glamorous alleys of Paris, and of course to America. Today we invite you to come partake for Her Mysteries.


About DeTraci Regula:

DeTraci Regula has been a priestess of Isis for many years. Initially drawn by the works of Dion Fortune, she has sought Isis everywhere and definitely sees the world through Isis-colored glasses. She was ordained in the Fellowship of Isis by Lady Olivia Robertson and Baron Strathloch and had the privilege of traveling with Lady Olivia to Japan, Hawaii, and other locations. On the trip to Japan,  Lady Olivia pointed out a figurine adorning a temple roof with the words “Oh look!” and, turning serious for a moment, said that, when she was gone, deTraci should listen for those words from her. She has been listening -and looking- ever since. 


At about the same time, deTraci also became involved with Isis Oasis Sanctuary and the Temple of Isis where she has been involved for many years. Isis Oasis Sanctuary is one of the oldest physical temples of the Goddess in the United States and she became its steward on the passing of its founder, artist, poet, and priestess Lady Loreon Vigné. A retreat center and animal sanctuary as well as a temple, Isis Oasis hosts many esoteric and other events throughout the year, including its annual Convocation each October. 


With David Harrington, deTraci co-authored “Whispers of the Moon: A Biography of Scott Cunningham” about their dear friend and magical partner. She produced and directed Scott’s “Herb Magic” program and also produced and directed Raymond Buckland’s “Rebirth of the Old Religion” film. She is also the author of “The Mysteries of Isis”, the “Egyptian Scarab Oracle”, “Sounding the SIstrum”, and other works. Recently, she made her first foray into fiction with “Diviner of Dreams”, a novel about the end times of the ancient temples of Isis. An avid traveler, deTraci leads tours to sacred sites in Crete and elsewhere.


Roundtable Discussion - Pagan Philosophies

Join us for an enlightening and inclusive roundtable discussion on modern practice. This discussion will explore a variety of rituals and philosophies, the significance of Goddesses, and the importance of building a welcoming and inclusive community. Whether you are new to Pagan practices or a seasoned practitioner, this discussion offers a space for everyone to share, learn, and connect.


Meet the Panel:


deTraci Regul

A student of the sacred sciences since childhood, deTraci Regula explores the mystical through writing, dreams, and art.  

She has been a Priestess of Isis with the Fellowship of Isis since 1983.   With David Harrington, she is the co-author of the upcoming biography of their friend Scott Cunningham, Whispers of the Moon.  

 She has traveled to sacred sites in Turkey, China, Japan, and Britain, as well as the United States.


When not writing, deTraci Regula practices Taoist painting and exploring the family geneaology.  Named for her ancestor William deTraci, deTraci Regula comes from a long line of pagans and freethinkers. 


One of her ancestors was chastised by the local bishop for "consorting magically with the horses," though what that means exactly has been mysteriously excised from the family histories.  Another ancestor, a Protestant during the reign of the Catholic Queen, "Bloody" Mary, was dug up and burned as a heretic after his death because of certain comments he made in his last days.


Liam Meader

Liam Meader started NANS with VP, Marnell, and two NANS Gothis Ian and Gina with a dream: to connect people of Nordic Paganism together in one place under one unified identity of spiritual practice, and to build bonds of Frith with each of our members.  


Liam's desire and calling to reconnect with our fornseidr culture and understanding ourselves on a much deeper level has changed his life for the better in more ways than can even be expressed.  Liam shares, "We welcome all to our hearth and to our table to feed your spirit, mind and body and strong connections to our Gods ancestors and our sacred veatter. " 




Adrian Castillo

Adrian is a practicing Hellenist with a focus on Hekate and Hermes.  He is also a Babalawo of West African Ifa and a 3rd degree initiate of the Waxing Moon tradition of Wicca.
