Poet Wynn Manners is at it again.  Wow.
In Her Sacramental Presence
We are Living Temples
of Her Sacramental Presence.
What of this Silence — like
a shrine about us, within us?
Goddess introduced the Silence.
Silence is Her Gift to us –
that we commune with Her

I just ordered a copy of In The Dark Places of Wisdom, by Peter Kingsley
About this excellent book, my friend author Margaret Starbird writes:
A “must read twice” book I love is “In the Dark Places of Wisdom” by Peter Kingsley— about the way the “Sophia” was written out of Greek culture by Plato and his disciples—in favor of [...]

Birthday of Charles Leadbeater (1854-1934), Bishop and Institutor of the Liberal Catholic Church.
Day of Martyrdom of [...]

My way-cool Gnostic Calendar which I got here: Gnosis.org says for today February 14, “The Holy Valentinus, Guide to Gnosis”. We alternative Christians, including esotericists, gnostics and semi-gnostics, should honor this Gnostic “Saint” today. I put quotes around the word saint because the alternative church and the Gnostics have never had a Pope [...]

I went to Seventh Day Adventist schools and boarding schools during all my childhood and teen years. They teach a love for the Cathars big time. Our elementary school teachers made us read stories and color pictures of Waldensian and Albigensian children walking perilous mountain cliffs, hiding from the Inquisition on pain of [...]

For our Order of Mary Magdala we have a set of lessons based on the most-inspiring book, Saint Mary Magdalene: The Gnostic Tradition of the Holy Bride, by Tau Malachi.
On page 43 in the section titled, the Union of the Bride & Yeshua there is a reference made to what Sophian gnostics call the Gnosis [...]
