Heritage Temple hosted the annual Lustration of the Living on the weekend of 5-6 September, Year 6 Aquarius.


The festivities were held at beautiful Mote park in historic Piqua, Ohio.

The Mote park facilities are among the most beautiful yet used for a Lustration, featuring a mirrored wall against which the altar was set up. This created a striking and memorable effect.

The Heritage Lustration was a great success. Unfortunately the Temple itself closed less than a year later.

Heritage had been one of the Traditions largest Temples. After Lady Debbe moved from Ohio to Illinois, the Temple continued under new leadership for a time, but the new leaders proved unable to effectively handle the challenges of running such a large Temple.

Still the Heritage Lustration will continue to be remembered as one of the best ever!
