I want to bring attention to another unknown gospel, that being the so-called “Gospel of the Hebrews”. This gospel only survives in fragments and that is in thanks to the church fathers quoting the text. Otherwise, it is a lost text (until a copy emerges, fingers crossed!). I will be posting all the known fragments …

Norea, wife of Noah
Norea (Noria) is a figure that pops up in various Gnostic texts. The most popular Norea text is titled “The Thought of Norea” and is presented as a prayer in the third person to the Monad. If you haven’t read it, here it is: Father of All, Ennoia of the Light, dwelling in the heights …
Two more readings
I have a video clip of two more readings I would like to share. The first reading is from the Gospel of Philip and it’s about how Jesus appears to everyone. Jesus took them all by stealth, for he did not appear as he was, but in the manner in which they would be able …

Most of these programs have you input words / phrases and it will create various artworks based on those words. Most of these …
Barbelo
Barbelo, the reflection of the source. The first thought. Mother of us all. She is mentioned in numerous Gnostic texts but I wanted to share this passage from the Secret Book of John. I think it does a fairly good job of introducing her to the mythos. Continuing with my readings, I have put together …
The Twelfth Deep
Today I present another section of the untitled text from the Bruce Codex. Like so many parts of this text, this section stuck out. It gives me quite a bit to think about every time I read it. The 12 deeps are part of the make up of the Pleroma. As I mentioned in the …
