Drawing on Gnosticism and Hermeticism, this book presents divine feminine principles and teachings that are at the heart of the Sophia tradition and how they can be applied to enrich spiritual knowledge and practice.Author Lee Irwin writes from a masculine perspective that honors and celebrates feminine insights, relations, and shared attitudes toward the sacred. The mysteries he shares are grouped in two sections: the lesser mysteries of body, mind, and soul and the greater mysteries of salvation, sacred union, the world soul, and reincarnation.The lesser mysteries encourage greater personal awareness through the healing of old wounds and empowerment through responsibility. Irwin explores sacred sexuality and incarnation as a praxis that emphasizes the celebration of the body as temple. Through the greater mysteries readers learn how to develop transpersonal awareness, raise consciousness, and become receptive to gnosis through dreams and encounters with spiritual entities. Irwin then describes the masculine principle of logos and how to integrate it with feminine eros through alchemical union—Hieros Gamos—to achieve wholeness and mystical insight.Feminine wisdom is a process—a way and not a destination. Divine Feminine Gnosis offers readers on any spiritual path an approach to living that is aimed toward heart-centered wisdom and an embodied experience of the transcendent.
