Sophia

[IvyWitch]

I found a few links on this Gnostic concept of the feminine archetype, and thought this would be a good place to share.

How does everyone feel about this?

I've heard Sylvia Brown talk about Mother God, the counterpart of the Christian God (Sylvia is als Gnostic) I've heard Sophia mentioned several times but for some reason thought she was the Holy Spirit.

its just another way to look at the Cosmic One.I have read the Gnostic Gospels,some of them are really good others are really out there.
My favorie Gnostic texts are:
secret book of james
gospel of thomas
book of thomas

of course the pists of sophia is good also.

Sophia is Wisdom, a concept in the Old Testament, thus often seen as a feminine aspect of the Divine.
