Shrine of Virgo


Blessings of the Sun in Virgo! 'Isis raising Osiris' is the central statue of the Shrine of Virgo. This was carved by David Durdin-Robertson and later painted gold by Olivia Robertson.

Olivia wrote in the book "Fortuna":
         "Virgo was known variously to the Ancients as Fortuna, Isis and Demeter. As Astraea, Goddess of Justice, Daughter of Themis, She holds the scales of Libra."
