IN THE STAR CHAPEL

This is the High Altar of the GODDESS ISHTAR of Babylon,

Ishtar

She descended the 7 planes 

from the Stars to the last level, the Earth,

 to rescue her lover,

TAMMUZ, 

Shepherd of the Starry Flocks

The 7 stages are shown 

from the White Angel with wings,

A mirror showing Ishtar, Ishtar & Tammuz together in a statuette,

A silk frontal with a painting of the Goddess 

(by Olivia Robertson)

And finally the Offspring of Ishtar & Tammuz

 as a STAR CHILD 

with

A Moon and A White Cat 

representing all creatures born of Ishtar

as

Lady of 15 (The Moon) 

& of the 8 pointed Star VENUS,

Which is in the heart of all beings.

….

Lady Olivia says:

“I would like to share a psychic experience I was given

on Wed 27^th April, 2011, 

which inspired me to paint the STAR CHILD”

“While lying in bed at 6 am, I found myself standing before the Ishtar Altar.  I was puzzled because a shining figure made of pure white light was blocking my view of the Altar frontal, of my painting of the Winged Goddess. 

The figure was that of a child – I could not determine the gender.

I believe the child represents the Star Children from beyond our earth who are incarnating at present.

However, all of us, old and young are born of the Goddess, so we may share this gentle coming with equality, happiness and love.”

Also in the Chapel of the Stars…

STAR CHAPEL

 STAR CHAPEL CEILING

 Lit by Olivia Robertson's painted Window 

between the Star Chapel &The Well  

In 1980

the Star Chapel was created 

by Co-Founders, 

Lawrence Durdin-Robertson and his sister Olivia.  

 They worked together painstakingly 

to clear an ancient wine cellar in the basement of the Castle. 

 The Ceiling was designed by Lawrence

to show many of the wonderful Non-Zodiac Constellations 

such as the Polar Constellations, 

including Caer Arianrhod, 

her Pole Star home, 

and the Great Bear.

There are Cygnus the Swan, 

the Ariadne Crown, 

Andromeda’s Sea Monster, 

Sirius, 

Orion 

& Cassiopeia

Having first painted the whole Ceiling deep blue, 

Lawrence created cardboard stencils.

These Olivia then used to paint the Stars in gold. 

Here are some small photos of parts of the ceiling just to give a sense of it.

Olivia pointed out Sirius at the top ofthe picture below:
