The Wedding of Sophia | Free Book
The Divine Feminine in Psychoidal Alchemy
Author of the acclaimed Jung and the Alchemical Imagination, Jeffrey Raff continues his teachings in psychoidal alchemy with an
in-depth look at the feminine aspect of the divine. Sophia is, in the
esoteric teachings, the embodiment of Wisdom, the matrix from which
God arose, and God's heavenly consort and mirror. But, as Raff
explains, she suffered a fall from this exalted state, corresponding
to the obscuration of the feminine archetype in the patriarchal world.
Without Sophia, God is not whole. It is our task to work with
imagination to reunite Sophia and God. Raff explains the difference
between fantasy, a product of the ego, and imagination, which comes
from the soul. More importantly, he brings Sophia to life through a
vivid analysis of an 800-year-old text, The Aurora Consurgens, as well as his personal experience with Sophia and active
imagination. This process empowers us to become whole and realize our
innate drive to unite with the divine.
