Shrine of Virgo

The Shrine of Virgo is located on the southern wall of the temple colonnade, near the Cave of the Mothers. Olivia writes that the zodiac shrines are corresponded to rites found in the FOI liturgy book "Sophia, Cosmic Consciousness of the Goddess." The ritual "Mystical Awakening of Virgo and Dana" from "Sophia" is associated with this shrine.

Tapestries now flank this shrine in the temple colonnade.
