Religious history has many faces for the Divine Sophia and we have much more history to bring forth of this wise, creative force of the Divine Feminine. In 1973 I was awakened to a new energy that assisted me in revealing a new and exciting interpretation of the Scriptures. It was an energy that I could feel and also one that promoted words for me while delivering a message to groups of people who were seeking renewal of spirit. I discovered that the hearts of many responded to this energy and began to search for its identity. I called it the Holy Spirit or Shekinah. Some time later I discovered that the Divine Sophia was often referred to as the Shekinah in Scriptures.
Through my study and by personal experiences I was awakened on a Soul level to understand that Sophia was an essence of God that brought the feminine energy to the Oneness that God is. The Divine Sophia brought forth the chalice of creation to the Absolute and as the chalice was taken the unity of male and female gave birth to Creation. Within the energies of creation were all things given. Love was birthed into fullness within the taking of the cup. This is my understanding and it continues to grow in various ways only to reveal MORE of the beautiful Sophia.
Robert Sardello gives to us a beautiful vision of the Divine Sophia as an alchemist who is constantly creating and recreating with love as the driving force. His writing stirs me passionately to want to discover more and more of this Beloved. I have found her to BE Wisdom and Knowing and she awakens my soul to fullness of life through my senses. She brings to each of us the Cup of Life; are we as a mass consciousness ready to take the cup and drink?
Her time is NOW. We are experiencing the trembling of the earth and the upheaval and chaos of creation as she rises up to assist humanity in the promise of being available for us to also come into the knowing of being of Divine-humans. My prayer is that we have the courage and the readiness to respond with a "yes" to life that can be more than we have ever thought and to taste the sweetness of the beautiful Sophia's presence and her wise encouragement. We too can become the spiritual alchemist!!

The Hail Sophia
Prayer To The Holy Spirit Come, Sweet Host of the soul. Give everyone rest from their efforts, respite from their hard labor, be their gentle breeze in moments of fire, the joy that dries up their tears and comforts their sorrows. Enter the deepest depth of their soul, Oh Divine Sophia, and enrich it. Look at the emptiness within when you are not presence. Look at the power of sin when you do not breathe within them. Water the dry earth of their soul, heal their wounded heart, wash them clean of all dirt, place the warmth of life back within their cold hearts, conquer their uncontrollable spirit, guide them when the way is confusing. Pour out on your servants your seven gifts according to their faith. In your goodness and blessings give them the strength they need, save all who are looking for salvation, and bless us all with your eternal joy.
Faith, Hope and Charity Pray that His glory, like a sun that never setteth, and which ye now see as becometh Saints, be with us in our humble prayers; may the Lord God forgive our sins and iniquities, and have mercy on us sinners who are unworthy of His generosity towards us. Pray indeed for us, ye holy Martyrs, unto our Lord Jesus Christ, to Whom we send up glory, together with His Father Who is from everlasting, and His All-holy, and Good, and Life-creating Spirit, now and ever, and unto ages of ages.
Prayer to Sophia
Hail, Lady of Light Hail, Lady of Light, Holy Sophia, goddess who leads to the One God, |
