Sun in Virgo

Blessings of the Sun in Virgo! From the FOI Liturgy book "Fortuna, Creation through the Goddess":

"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.. . We look at the twelve stained-glass windows. They have rounded arches above which are enamelled the signs of the Zodiac. Three white steps lead up to them, arched over the stream. We particularly examine the windows on either side of the doorway. On the left, where the stream flows away, is a window marked "Leo", the fifth sign. The stained-glass depicts a naked woman surrounded by a Hawk, a Lioness, a Cow and a Winged God. On the window on the right, where the stream enters, is a picture of a woman veiled from head to foot, holding an Ankh in her right hand, a scroll in her left. Over the window is the sixth sign of Virgo, formed by two folded wings and the knot of Isis. Over the doorway is a bas-relief of a Sphinx, her lion's body facing the Leo window, her woman's face turned towards the window of Virgo. Her wings sweep downwards on either side of the entrance, forming two feathery curtains. She faces the window of Leo, her twin constellation, the Egyptian Androsphinx."

Prayer to Ishtar

 

"O Mother of the Gods, Ishtar, Lady of Mankind, who maketh the green herb to spring up, who created all things, who guideth the whole of Creation, a prayer will we utter in unison with those of ancient Babylon, who prayed to thee thus: O Mother Ishtar, whose side no God can approach, O exalted Lady, that which appears good to thee, do thou unto us! We pray for our Earth and all the creatures and green herbs and trees thereon."

Sun in Leo

 

Blessings of the Sun in Leo! From the FOI Liturgy book "Fortuna, Creation through the Goddess":

"To experience spiritual alchemy, you need to travel magically to the constellation of Leo. It is crowned by the temple of the Zodiac. We see arched over it, the Milky Way, the Goddess Nuit. Come let us climb the hill! The Way is hard and twisting, snakes glide past our feet, we hear the distant roar of lions. An eagle flies above us as we reach the lofty flights of steps before the South Gate of the Temple. This is guarded by two Andro-sphinxes, winged women with lions bodies. We pass between them into the Temple. In the centre of the Temple is the Altar of the Perpetual Flame. Beyond the encircling temple stream are 12 stained glass windows representing the signs of the Zodiac. Each is set between two tree-like pillars. Let us approach the windows of Leo! This shows Isis Unveiled. About her are Serapis, Osiris as a bull; Sekhmet, the Lion-headed Goddess; Horus with Hawk's wings outspread and Nut, pouring forth a stream of stars."

Solstice Sun in Cancer

 

Blessings of the Solstice Sun in Cancer!  Here is audio of FOI co-Founder, Lawrence Durdin-Robertson, during an FOI rite:

YouTube:  https://youtu.be/3BWyC8R1Veg

Transcript: "Companions on the quest for occult wisdom hidden within the Great Deep, know that the Sign of Cancer was reverenced in remote antiquity. In the fourth month of the Chaldea Duzu, it is the Northern Gate of the Sun whence, at the Summer Solstice, it commences its retrograde movement. With Scorpio and Pisces, Cancer forms the Watery Trigon. To the Coptic Egyptians, this sign was the Power of Darkness of the Jackal Anubis, Guide of the Dead, a Deity of Sirius. It was known as the Dark Sign with no eyes. The Ancient Egyptians knew it as Scarabeus, the beetle Kephera that holds the mud ball of earth. Cancer is depicted as Sacer, the Water Beetle of Immortality, in the most ancient Zodiac known, found in the Temple of Isis in the Denderah Temple of Hathor."
