Blessings of the Equinox, which also marks the 46th anniversary of the Fellowship of Isis. The FOI was founded on the Vernal Equinox of 1976 by Olivia Robertson and Lawrence and Pamela Durdin-Robertson. Please join us in honoring their legacy as members worldwide remember and celebrate this day.
You may listen to a 20-minute Spring Equinox meditation by Olivia Robertson on the "Mystical Awakening of Aries and Durga", at this link on our YouTube channel:
From the FOI Liturgy: "Companions, let us contemplate the sign of Aries and the neighbouring constellations. Above Aries shines heavenly Andromeda and beyond her is her Mother, Cassiopeia upon her throne. Behold, the hero Perseus flies across the sky to rescue Andromeda from a sea monster: She is borne by the wings of Hermes, who bears the Shield of Pallas Athena. He uncovers it and reveals the shining snake rays upon Medusa's Head, and so turns to stone the whale, Cetus, with its writhing starry coils rising from the deeps. Andromeda is saved and rises in the sky towards Perseus. Her body holds a great wonder: a spiral galaxy, sister to our Milky Way. Above Aries is Triangulum the pasture-land of the Oxen of the Sun. In silence let us contemplate the Mystery of Aries and Durga."
