Protection, or Song of Peace, or Aphrodite, 1902

Dear All,

Our Souls in this world are surrounded by dangers. Beasts are often used to illustrate what would harm us.  Here we see the Soul surrounded by what would tear us apart, unhurt and protected by ‘The Holy Ghost,’ represented as usual by a white dove. One sees that as long as the Soul keeps her connection, the beasts will hold back.

Remember to remember and keep the Connection to ensure the Protection.

Love,

Mervyn
