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 ableContinue reading “Two more readings”

A mantra for Barbelo
I like to pick out phrases / paragraphs from various Gnostic texts and put them in a binder for my own personal practice. This binder goes with me when I’m heading to my weekly pilgrimage to the Monte Cassino shrine or when I go out wanting to do any spiritual work. This binder has becomeContinue reading “A mantra for Barbelo”
Axion Estin
Axion Estin, or it’s translation meaning “It is truly meet”, is the name of a Eastern Orthodox magnification and hymn to the Theotokos (Virgin Mary). It also refers to an icon of the same name. Below is a reading of the hymn (sorry, you don’t want to hear my singing voice, LOL) that I didContinue reading “Axion Estin”
3 short video clips
Out of the recent recordings I did, I thought I’d edit three segments together. The first segment is an excerpt from the Gospel of Thomas, the second segment is the oldest known prayer to the Theotokos and the third segment is an excerpt from the First Apocalypse of James. First segment, Gospel of Thomas sayingContinue reading “3 short video clips”
Mary Magdalene Prayer
Here is another short prayer video, this time I read a Catholic prayer to Saint Mary Magdalene. Here is the text of the prayer: Saint Mary Magdalene! You heard from the loving lips of Jesus that your many sins were forgiven because you loved much. Pour out your love at his sacred feet on ourContinue reading “Mary Magdalene Prayer”
A Prayer to Our Lady of Einsiedeln
I wanted to try something new with this site. I’ve been experimenting with recording videos of myself reading various scripture, as well as prayers, to see how it would come off on a video recording. I admit, I am not a big fan of how I sound on video, but who is? lol However, IContinue reading “A Prayer to Our Lady of Einsiedeln”
The Three Steles of Seth
I wanted to share a video from the ESOTERICA youtube channel in regards to the Three Steles of Seth. For those who have not checked out this channel on youtube, I HIGHLY recommend it! It is ran by Dr. Justin Sledge and he covers a wide range of topics involving esotericism, and Gnosticism is oneContinue reading “The Three Steles of Seth”
Prayers to the Holy Mary Magdalene
Today, July 22, is the Catholic Feast Day of Mary Magdalene. While I’m not Catholic, I have no issue celebrating Mary Magdalene. Here is a prayer involving Mary which is from the book “A Manual for the Gnostic: Doctrines, Prayers, & Practices of the Gnostic Church” issued by the L’Eglise Gnostique Apostolique of North America. OContinue reading “Prayers to the Holy Mary Magdalene”
Gnostic Prayerbook
What is nice about “Gnosticism” is the lack of a dogmatic approach. However, people do like their theatrics/ceremonies and prayer for their spiritual beliefs, as do I (to an extent). Looking for “Gnostic” related prayers, I picked up the book “A Gnostic Prayerbook: Rites, Rituals, Prayers and Devotions” by J. Puma. In this book, theContinue reading “Gnostic Prayerbook”
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 theContinue reading “The Twelfth Deep”
