Hmmm, Sophia....

First off I wish to thank Jordan and B. Blackthorn for your comments. Yes the posts have not been at all frequent of late...I've been working like crazy...I'm a Fabricator/Welder...and what writing I have been doing has been directed at a re-write of a novel. More will come "soon".
Aaaah, what is a couple of months in eternity?... ;^)
In the meantime, check out these links:

This is a Gnostic church that Jordan belongs to...
http://www.johannite.org/

And check out these other links...the Catholic link is obviously (and somewhate negatively?) biased!...

And let's not forget Wikipedia!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gnosticism

Think I like this one better...

http://www.rotten.com/library/religion/gnosticism/

Some of the passages on this page are desperately needed by the "doomsday" types of Christianity to be found out there...

The Gnostic theology and writings are very much more esoteric than the more orthodox traditions. The influence of the Gnostics on modern Witchcraft is, I think, not to be underestimated.

Tip of the buckled hat to Jordan for getting me curious...

Blessed Be!
