Linda Iles

Olivia Robertson was an extraordinary woman, born as the Great War was coming into its final year. To know her was a Janus-like experience, where one was looking back into the Edwardian and Victorian times of her parents, and forward into a future to a world of modern architecture, equality for all, and the return of the Goddess and respect for the arts. In this centenary year of her birth, several of her friends look at her work, as an artist, author, and esotericist, as a tribute to this remarkable character of enormous intellect and wit. She was of the Anglo-Irish Ascendency, and loved to travel the world on a mission to restore the goddesses of antiquity to the modern age, to which she was totally committed. All who met her were touched by her unique gifts.
