DIVINE FEMININE


The Priestess of Isis, by Edouard Schuré. Translated by F. Rothwell.

Just before the fateful eruption of Vesuvius, a Roman tribune falls in love with the captivating Priestess of Isis, Alcyone, at a friend's wedding. Her adoptive father, however, requires the Roman to be initiated into the forbidden religion of Isis before the two may marry. Although the tribune agrees to enter upon the initiate's path, the Priestess of Hecate still seeks to lure him away. Told in intricate detail, this is a timeless tale of the conflict between profane and sublime love, good and evil. [more information]
