Sophia is a loving, generous, contradictory goddess whose name in Greek means wisdom. She is affiliated with Shekinah as the holy spirit imbuing matter and with Gaia as the living embodiment of earth. Sophia is Lady Wisdom. Her beauty is not blatant and superficial. She remains hidden, and yet is accessible to those with sincere and earnest purpose. Throughout history when she seemingly disappears, she is merely shadowed and disguised, only to later reappear in her resplendent glory. She is the dreaming goddess who longed for her creation, eventually giving over her solitary existence for love of the creation. She teaches us to look beneath the surface in all things, including ourselves. As Saint Sophia, she is seen as holy Wisdom, with three daughters, Faith, Love, and Hope.
This is the feast day of Sophia. I trust her wisdom, grace, and creativity can inspire and sustain us as we move closer to the winter season.
Cheers & Happy Reading!
