This card deck is designed to strengthen and enhance your sixth sense and help you access Divine help in your day-to-day life. Each of the 52 cards represents a personal message from your spiritual support system. Each one portrays an emotion, issue, or situation, and then offers personal guidance from God, your Higher Self, and your angels, spirit guides and helpers on the Other Side. Life on earth is difficult enough without thinking that we have to solve our problems all alone. No soul comes to earth without being watched over by an unconditionally loving and protective being from the higher realms. Your angel’s help is there to be called on. So why not call?

The Gnostic Sophia (rising awareness of female wisdom ; )

.

.

She is the central pivot of creation and represents the feminine aspect in all things.
She is Wisdom Incarnate, the Goddess of all those who are wise.

Sophia (pronounced sew-fee’ah) in Greek, Hohkma in Hebrew, Sapientia in Latin,
Celtic goddess-figure Sheela-na-gigs - all mean wisdom.
The Judeo-Christian God’s female soul, source of his true power is Sophia.
As Goddess of wisdom and fate , her faces are many:
Black Goddess,
Divine Feminine,
Mother of God The Gnostic Christians,
Sophia was the Mother of Creation;
her consort and assistant was Jehovah.

Her sacred shrine, Hagia Sophia in Istanbul, is one of the seven wonders of the world.
Her symbol, the dove, represents spirit; she is crowned by stars,
a Middle Eastern icon, to indicate her absolute divinity.

Sophia is found throughout the wisdom books of the Bible.
There are references to Her in the book of Proverbs,
and in the apocryphal books of Sirach and the Wisdom of Solomon
(accepted by Catholics and Orthodox, found in the Greek Septuagint of the early Church).

She is usually associated with wise King Solomon.
1 Kings 4:29-31 tells us that God gave wisdom to Solomon,
and that he became wiser than all the kings of the East and all the wise people of Egypt.
Wisdom 8:2, 16, 18 tells us that Solomon was seen as married to Sophia.

The Song of Songs - known as Song of Solomon or Canticle of Canticles
- speaks of Solomon’s marriage to Holy Sophia.

Wisdom 9:8-11 tells us that Sophia instructed Solomon in building the Temple!

The Jews revered Sophia.
King Solomon even put Her right in the Temple, in the form of the Goddess Asherah.

After the reforms of King Josiah,
there was a threat that the veneration of Sophia would come to a halt
- there was even more of a threat when patriarchal Christianity took over the world.

Thanks to her continuing presence in the world and her presence in the Bible,
veneration of Sophia continued in the Eastern tradition
with the construction of the Hagia Sophia
and the Russian Catholic liturgical service to Sophia
combined with the assumption of Mary on May 15.

The Russian Orthodox Church has also a school of “Sophiology”
to explore the theology of Sophia without contradicting the Russian Orthodox theology.

Yet the Eastern Christians are not the only Christians to venerate Sophia.

Sophia was very likely venerated by early Followers of the Way,
and her veneration has survived in the West today in the form of Gnosticism.

Gnostics see her as one of the aeons,
one of the quasi-deities who live in the ethereal realm known as the pleroma.

Gnostics believe that she gave birth to or brought about the creation of a negative aeon,
who later came to be called an archon, called the Demiurge, creator and ruler of this world.

Gnostics see the Demiurge as the God of the Old Testament,
with his strict rules and chains that bind the people of the Earth.
Gnostics believe that Sophia and the Father God (not the Demiurge)
sent Yeshua to right this wrong. In Gnostic tradition, Sophia plays a very active role in our world.

Lol…

You must teach your children that the ground beneath their feet is the ashes of our grandfathers. So that they will respect the land, tell your children that the earth is rich with the lives of our kin. Teach your children that we have taught our children that the earth is our mother. Whatever befalls the earth befalls the sons of earth. If men spit upon the ground, they spit upon themselves. All things are connected.

We knew this when we knew the value of respect…
