Shrine of the Anthrosphinx

The Shrine of the Antrosphinx is situated between the Shrines of Virgo and Leo in the Temple Colonnade. The main altar figure is of a golden Bast cat, partially veiled and obscured by draperies to symbolize the eternal mystery of the Sphinx. A golden winged figure rests just in front of the draperies. This partially obscured enigmatic figure entices the imagination into the realm of creative myth, ranging from those of Atlantis to Sirius. Our minds reach inward to utilize our powers of intuition and attain a greater wholeness. Those who enjoy their own unique originality find the way of blending the animal body, human face and spiritual wings of the sphinx, which reside within themselves into a harmony of being. This shrine is linked to the rituals of Alchemical Transformation offered to the Fellowship of Isis Priest/Priestesshood in the Spiral of Alchemy.
