form) <strong>and</strong> a female spirit Achamoth (who later came <strong>to</strong> earth as Mary Magdalene).<br />

These two gave birth <strong>to</strong> the elements <strong>and</strong> the terrestrial world, then brought forth a<br />

new god named Jehovah, Son of Darkness, along with five planetary spirits later<br />

regarded as emanations of Jehovah: Iao, Sabaoth, Adonai, Eloi, <strong>and</strong> Uraeus. These<br />

spirits produced archangels, angels, <strong>and</strong> finally men <strong>and</strong> women.<br />

Jehovah forbade men <strong>to</strong> eat the fruit of knowledge, but his mother Achamoth sent<br />

her own spirit <strong>to</strong> earth in the form of the serpent Ophis <strong>to</strong> teach men kind <strong>to</strong> disobey<br />

the jealous god. The serpent was also called Christ, who taught Adam <strong>to</strong> eat the fruit<br />

of knowledge despite Jehovah's prohibition.<br />

Sophia sent Christ again <strong>to</strong> earth in the shape of one of Her <strong>to</strong>tems the dove, <strong>to</strong> enter<br />

the man Jesus at his baptism in Jordan. After Jesus died, Christ left his body <strong>and</strong><br />

returned <strong>to</strong> heaven <strong>to</strong> help collect souls.<br />

But not all of Sophia was taken out of the final version of the Bible by the Paulist,<br />

some was able <strong>to</strong> slip past i.e. from the 8th <strong>and</strong> 9th chapters Proverbs we see the early<br />

conflict between followers of Sophia <strong>and</strong> those of God. Maybe the divorce was going<br />

on at this time?:<br />

Doth not Sophia cry? <strong>and</strong> underst<strong>and</strong>ing put forth her voice? She st<strong>and</strong>eth in the <strong>to</strong>p<br />

of high places, by way in the places of the paths. She crieth at the gates, at the entry<br />

of the city, at the coming in of the doors. Un<strong>to</strong> you, O men, I call; <strong>and</strong> my voice is <strong>to</strong><br />

the sons of man. O ye simple, underst<strong>and</strong> Sophia: <strong>and</strong>, ye fools, be ye of an<br />

underst<strong>and</strong>ing heart. Hear; for I will speak of excellent things; <strong>and</strong> the opening of my<br />

lips shall be right things for Sophia is better then rubies; <strong>and</strong> all the things that may<br />

be desired are not <strong>to</strong> be compared <strong>to</strong> Her. I Sophia dwell with prudence, <strong>and</strong> find out<br />

knowledge of witty inventions. Counsel is mine, <strong>and</strong> sound wisdom; I am<br />

underst<strong>and</strong>ing; I have strength. By me kings reign, <strong>and</strong> princes decree justice. By me<br />

princes rule, <strong>and</strong> nobles, even all judges of the earth. I love them that love me; <strong>and</strong><br />

those that seek me early shall find me. I lead the way in<strong>to</strong> righteousness, jin the midst<br />

of the paths of judgment: that I may cause those that love me <strong>to</strong> inherit substance;<br />

<strong>and</strong> I will fill their treasures. Blessed is the man that heareth me, watching daily at<br />

my gates, waiting at the posts of my doors. For who so findeth me findeth life. But he<br />

that sinneth against me wrongeth his own soul: all they that hate me love death.<br />

Then we get:<br />

Sophia hath builded her house, she hath hewn out her seven pillars: she hath killed<br />

her beasts: she hath mingled her wine: she hath also furnished her table. She hath<br />

sent forth her maidens: she crieth upon the highest places of the city. Who so is<br />

simple, let him turn in hither; as for him that wanteth underst<strong>and</strong>ing, she saith <strong>to</strong>
