SEPTEMBER
The Great Mother, by Nicholas Roerich.
Motto:
Isis –Justice and Wisdom – shows the divine mysteries to «carriers of sacred things» and "wearers of sacred robes». These are they that carry in the soul, as it were in a copper, the sacred story respecting the Gods, that cleanses the recipient from all superstition and magical follies. – Plutarch, Isis and Osiris, § 6.
