GUARDIANS

CHANGING FACES OF THE TEMPLE

(Paintings by Olivia Robertson, Photographs by Minette Quick)

THE ANIMAL GUARDIANS

 OF THE HIGH ALTAR OF ISIS

Are from the Orient.

A CHEETAH, 

brought by New Age pilgrims for Olivia

And THE DRAGON

The 2 Pillars that hold up the ancient wooden-beams

Represent SHU & TEFNUT,

The 2 Egyptian POWERS OF BALANCE

That uphold the starry sky.
