Welcome to Sophia's Children

Welcome to Sophia's Children.

Where does the name come from? I'd come across a biblical passage, in which Jesus, a great Wisdom teacher and emissary of Sophia, said, "Sophia will be vindicated by her children."

And so, we are Sophia's Children, re-awakening and remembering Sophia -- the Sacred Feminine of many names -- in a world very much in need of her presence through us.

You'll find musings on the Black Madonna, Sophia, Goddess myths and archetypes, and the path of remembering the Sacred Feminine (and the Conscious or Co-Creative Feminine, and Sacred Masculine that spring from that remembering).

Chime in; explore; reflect; and share your questions and your stories. Muse and remember together.

Blessings on the Way,

Jamie

Greetings! Thanks for visiting. I wasn't aware of it, either, despite being brought up in the Protestant church and teaching Sunday school when I was younger. Much more has been written on these perspectives since the 90s, it seems. "Sophia will be vindicated by her children" is one of the translations of Matthew 11:18-19 & Luke 7:33-35 (which are similar). Many of the standard bibles include the passages, though it sometimes reads "Wisdom will be vindicated by her children", or "Wisdom will be justified by her actions." Wisdom = Sophia (Greek). If we read the Nag Hammadi ("Gnostic") gospels, we see much more of these perspectives, but this one is in the standard New Testament.
Blessings!

p.s. "Standard bibles" includes the King James version (Cambridge & American editions) and others.
