I have yet to explore this area. I'm kind saving the best till last, you
might say (when I have distraction free reading time). One thing I
find amusing is how mainstream Christians throw Gnosticism in the
same basket as Satanism.

Bingo! It looks like we're found where the West took
the wrong highway exit some 2000 years ago. Imagine
all the wars and dogma thumping we could have saved
ourselves from!
> Shakti as Sophia, Goddess of wisdom is something I find particularly
resonant. The early Christians referred to the Holy Spirit as "God the
Mother."... Goddess! :)
If the above could be embraced, or at least given an
open, fear-free door in mainstream Christianity, it would
be such a brave, noble and forward moving act on the
part of that religion. If the Goddess were to blossom again
in the community that bears the cross, you just might find me
in church early Sunday morning....
Well, ok, the afternoon service.
The ice cream social?
Ok, the spring rummage sale (at least).
Amen (!)
