Changing Faces of the Temple

here is a message from Minette:

"Olivia was so happy, busily preparing the Temple for our Imbolc Festival which took place on Saturday, 5th February 2011.  I went to visit her this Friday and took a look at her work and took photographs to share with you all.  The truth is that the Temple is never the same for long, it is a living creation and one which she takes great joy in.  The energy was absolutely wonderful on Saturday and the Temple was glowing.  We had a wonderful time together celebrating Brigid's Time of the year. 

The first photo is, of course, of The High Altar with the Goddess Isis, veiled with the Veil of Bride for the "Ceremony of Unveiling of Truth" which was enacted by the Priesthood. 


The second is of the Pisces Altar of Psyche with her emblems, her lamp and butterfly. 

The third shows Olivia's painting of the MerGoddess Derceto, under the window on the right of Brigid-na-Mara over the Well; the Goddess Gangur from Rajasthan stands beside the Well, She is the Protectress of Women against excessive violence.

Ra Herut

RA-HERUT

This Sphinx has as Mystery the Riddle of the Inner Sun:-

“What is it that warms without burning,
That shines from the darkness
That is nowhere and everywhere?
Who answers this riddle
Has answered My Secret.

The Sphinx is between the Shrine of Kwan Yin of Compassion
And the High Altar of Isis of Truth.

Olivia is thrilled with Ra-Herut the female Sphinx, whom she 'created' in the past couple of days and wanted you all to have immediately!  As you will see she has been having a wonderful time adding to the Shrine of Kwan Yin which now has a number of delightful new touches, lots of green etc. and I have sent you the full-sized versions because she and I had a lot of fun seeing all the details on my camera when I blew them up fully to check the focus on them over lunch yesterday.

She invites you to look at the wonderful 'Green Man' on the chair beside the High Altar which is visible on the Ra-Herut close-up.  The Kwan Yin one yields lovely views of Sekhmet and the head of Bast visible in the Her Shrine behind the stained glass division.  She points out that there are two Solar details also and she loves all the close-ups of things which people don't really see just glancing even on a visit to the Temple.  Enjoy!
