Eros, Yaldabaoth & the Fall of Sophia

Honored to have researcher and Gnostic priestess Billie Steigerwald at the Virtual Alexandria. We’ll go deep into the Orphic underworld to procure the treasure guarded by the dragon-headed snake. This quest will entail understanding the Gnostic idea of evil, the cosmologies of luminaries like Simon Magus, and the influence of the Orphic/Elusynean mysteries on Gnosticism. And how Gnostic thought might be the originator of modern erotic and romantic love (despite or because of their alleged world-hating). This is a partial show. For the second half of the interview, please become a member or patron at Patreon The Gnostic Tarot...
