The Great Mother If anyone asks how the feminine pronoun can bear a likeness to God, the answer is that on the Night of the Ascension, the emanations of God the Glorified and Exalted that appeared to the Lord of the World, peace and blessing be upon him, were in feminine form. Sayyid Muhammad Husayni Gisudaraz The White Goddess is the Holy Spirit of Light, the Mother of the Gods and feminine aspect of the Good. She is the inspiration of Nature, the nurturance of the mercy; the seeress of wisdom, evocator of passion and sublime archetype of beauty, balance and harmony. Although often depicted as the Universal Soul, she is also witnessed in the role of the Logos as the deliverer of grace and the redeemer of souls. She may also characterize the divine essence itself as the uncreated womb of the illimitable Night, the primordial root of all being and sole ground of existence. Objectively neither while encompassing both, the Deity may be subjec...

I tilled this Earth with love for Thee Within the glade where I could see Those birds who hymn so beautifully For I and I and Us and We The circle widened in those trees With boughs of trust and courtesy A wreathe of golden stars for Thee For I and I and Us and We Our vessels flow with sweet honey From the River ardently The Blood of Lions seals our plea For I and I and Us and We The nectar gathered by our bees Has spread Thy banquet dotingly A feast to fill our hearts with Thee For I and I and Us and We So may we serve Thy Charity Upon the wings of Mercury We’ll ride the Moon across the sea For I and I and Us and We The Green Knight holds the Silver Key Before the Fountain on one knee Where sylvan shadows dance with glee For I and I and Us and We The friends who watch most tenderly Shall sign the Holy Book with She Who guides the flock with God’s Mercy For I and I and Us and We The Age has...

The Fall of Sophia     For I am thy power and thy light… For the Light is with me, and I myself am with the Light Pistis Sophia The Gnostic Fall of Sophia is an elaborate mythologizing on the lifecycle of the soul and journey of creation from the preexistent unity of the Godhead and into the multiplicity of the cosmic collective, who, by completing the course of their predestination, remerge into the ancestral wholeness of the Pleroma upon the advent of the Savior who emerges on the inner horizon of their cooperative spiritual awakening in the final Apokatastasis. The story succinctly illustrates the ontological descent and following redemption of the wayfarer by following the separation of the soul through the perilous crossing of cosmic exile and onto the repentance of Sophia that sparks the metanoia that is her celestial ascent back through the heavenly spheres and into the Unio-Mystica of the Bridal Chamber.  The myth encapsulates the proto...

The Love of Wisdom I am the Forethought of pure light, I am the thought of the Virgin Spirit, who raises you to a place of honor. Arise, remember that you have heard And trace your root, Which is I, the compassionate. The Secret Book of John The Goddess of Wisdom assumes a tutelary role as the Angel of Revelation, Salvation and Annunciation, the Revealer of the Sacred Mysteries and Mistress of Initiation. Like the chameleon she assumes the native symbolism of her local surroundings, secreting the Light of Eden through the climate of the soul to procure the Elixir of Life, fermenting the wine of love, gnosis and ecstasy within the vessel of the Incarnate Entity. Her arrival delivers the dispensation of grace that is our summons unto a higher calling, as the Breath of the Merciful who fans the coals of the divine desire to kindle the Holy Fire of the Sakina, a presence that burns all that separates the soul from the unity of the Borderless World. Shining through the ...
