Feast Day Of Sophia November 28

Feast Day Of Sophia November 28 Image
TODAY IS THE FEAST DAY OF "SOPHIA"," THE ANCIENT GODDESS OF WISDOM AND INNER TRUTH. ON THIS DAY, SHE IS HONORED AND INVOKED BY PRAYERS, LIBATIONS, AND RITUALS PERFORMED BY THOSE WHO SEEK TO ACQUIRE ARCANE KNOWLEDGE. AS ONE OF THE MOST WORSHIPPED OF GODDESSES, SHE IS SAID TO BE THE EMBODIMENT OF THE HOLY SPIRIT, AND ACCORDING TO SOME TRADITIONS, "SOPHIA "CO-CREATED WITH THE ANGELS. SHE HAS BEEN REVERED AS THE "WISE BRIDE OF SOLOMON" BY JEWS, AS THE "QUEEN OF WISDOM AND WAR " BY GREEKS, AND AS THE "HOLY SPIRIT OF WISDOM" BY CHRISTIANS. IN HEBREW, SHE IS CALLED "CHOKMAH" AND IS VIEWED AS THE MOTHER OF THE UNIVERSE; IN LATIN, SHE IS "SAPIENTIA. " IT IS SAID THAT ALL OF HER PATHS LEAD TO PEACE. SHE IS THE GREAT LOST GODDESS, SHE WHO HAS BEEN VEILED, DEFAMED, AND IGNORED.

"ALL THE WORDS OF MY MOUTH ARE RIGHTEOUS; THERE IS NOTHING TWISTED OR CROOKED IN THEM. THEY ARE ALL STRAIGHT TO HIM WHO UNDERSTANDS AND RIGHT TO THOSE WHO FIND KNOWLEDGE. TAKE MY INSTRUCTION INSTEAD OF SILVER, KNOWLEDGE RATHER THAN CHOICE GOLD. FOR WISDOM IS BETTER THAN JEWELS, AND ALL THAT YOU MAY DESIRE CANNOT COMPARE WITH HER."I, WISDOM, DWELL IN PRUDENCE, AND I FIND KNOWLEDGE AND DISCRETION."PROVERBS, 8 VIII-XII

"SOPHIA I"S THE BEGINNING; SHE IS THE GREAT SOURCE OF WISDOM AND THE KEEPER OF THE KNOWLEDGE OF RIGHTEOUSNESS. IT IS HER SPARK OF LIFE THAT EXISTS WITHIN ALL LIVING THINGS. "SOPHIA "IS THE VOICE OF THE CREATIVE POWER OF, AND THE TRANSLATOR OF THE FEMININE SIDE OF GOD. IN THE DARKNESS AND IGNORANCE THAT THRIVE IN HER ABSENCE, THE PROVERBIAL WASTELAND EATS AWAY AT THE SOUL AND NATIONS PERISH. KNOWN AS THE "MOTHER OF ALL "OR SIMPLY AS "WISDOM", "SOPHIA "WAS BORN OF SILENCE ACCORDING TO GNOSTIC CREATION MYTHS. SHE GAVE BIRTH TO BOTH THE MALE AND FEMALE WHO TOGETHER CREATED ALL THE ELEMENTS OF OUR MATERIAL WORLD.

SHE HAS A SACRED SHRINE IN ISTANBUL, "HAGIA SOPHIA". SHE IS SYMBOLIZED BY A DOVE, CRESCENT MOON, STARS, A CUP OR A TREE. SHE IS ADORED AND VENERATED BY THE RUSSIANS WHO DEDICATED A CATHEDRAL TO HER IN KIEV, "THE CATHEDRAL OF ST. SOPHIA". RED IS HER COLOR, AND SHE IS OFTEN DEPICTED WEARING A RED GOWN.

"PRIZE HER HIGHLY, AND SHE WILL EXALT YOU; SHE WILL HONOUR YOU IF YOU EMBRACE HER; SHE WILL PLACE ON YOUR HEAD A FAIR GARLAND; SHE WILL BESTOW ON YOU A BEAUTIFUL CROWN."--PROVERBS 4 VIII-IX
