The Changing Faces of the Temple
A Gift to Welcome 2012
Paintings by Olivia Robertson - Photographer Minette Quick
January 1, 2012
As the Sun set on 2011, Olivia and I descended into the Temple of Isis at Clonegal Castle and offered a ceremony of thanksgiving and blessing for the ancestors and all who help with the work of Isis of Sirius.
As we moved around the Shrines within the area of Brigid Na Mara’s Well, and on into the Holiest of Holies in the Star Chapel, the atmosphere warmed as the Shrines lit up in response to Olivia’s words.
It was a great joy and honour to be present at this special time. M.Q.
