"Oh Virgin Queen, clothed with the Sun, crowned with twelve stars, and raised up to the highest heavens, you are most merciful! You are more radiant that the Star of the Sea! Behold the hostile spears by which I am pierced. See the bitter sorrows by which I am tormented. Look upon the grave temptation by which I am tested. Lest the enemy should continue to attack me, lest he should overturn and over consume me, may your right hand cast him down into hell from whence he came. And lest the light of faith should ever grow dark to me, may the ray of your splendor shine always upon me. For as long as grim death may threaten our bodies, and past ills may trouble our minds, and our consciences stand burdened by sin and trembling with guilt, may your gracious presence continue to assist us kindly. Defend us by your gentle protection, that we be not disturbed or overcome by our foes. And may we pass — secure in the hope of the resurrection — to the glory of eternal light. Amen.
— From Crown of the Virgin by St. Ildephonsus of Toledo; translated by Fr. Robert Nixon

Anima Sophia
Soul of Sophia, sanctify me.
Light of Sophia inflame me.
Hands of Sophia uphold me.
Feet of Sophia, guide me.
Immaculate eyes of Sophia, look upon me.
Lips of Sophia , speak for me.
wisdom of Sophia, strengthen me.
O Sophia, hear me.
In the light of Christ hide me.
Let me never be separated from you.
From my enemy defend me.
At the hour of my need call me.
And bid me come to your faithful heart.
Faithful heart of Sophia be my salvation
That thus I may come to the light of Christ.
To know you to love you and to be at one with you
Ave Sophia
Aeons of Aeons
Amen

A MYTHOPOEIC CAREGIVE PAEAN*
#ArtLoveInTheTimeofPalliative
————————🪷————————
Hail Paean, Asclepius, most famous divinity, hail Paean
From him descend Aceso and Iaso, hail Paean - and fair-eyed Aegle and Panacea, children of Epione, along with shining Hygieia, the all-famous - hail Sophia, hail Thanatos - hail Paean, Asclepius, most famous divinity, hail Paean
To the divinities of curing, healing, the radiance of the all-cure, and to the sweetness and shining of health - and to the mother wisdom and to the inescapable final rest - hail Paean
————————🎨 ————————
Utilizing readily available and simple personal and intimate objects found at home, like purple medical gloves, wilted flowers from a dried-up bouquet, a plastic doll, and a religious effigy bottle; and reworking them thus as resonant and visual sacred poetry and hymns; and fragile votive offerings; to the Asclepius family of Greco-Roman gods and goddesses; divine healers and carers who could be both compassionate and entropic in their ways.
*a reworking of the Erythraean Paean to Asclepius c. 380-360 B.C.E.

Today we celebrate a recent Saint of our church, Eldress Sophia the Fool for Christ of Kleisoura Monastery (+1975). Showing true wisdom as her namesake, Saint Sophia took on the struggle of foolishness for Christ. She practiced extreme asceticism, living in the wood fire oven of the monastery's kitchen, eating the crumbs left on the dining table and drinking from the dirty dish water. Through her foolishness, she was proved wise before God. May she intercede for the salvation of our souls + #saint #sophia #kleisoura #eldress #ascetic #nun #monastic #monasticism #fool #foolforchrist #christ #jesus #jesuschrist #prayer #monastery #orthodox #saintoftheday (at Klisoúra, Kastoria, Greece) https://www.instagram.com/p/CdMNlR5PKjE/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Pistis Sophia – Chapter 30
Pistis Sophia – Chapter 30
Mary desireth to hear the story of Sophia. It came to pass then, when Jesus has said this unto his disciples, that Mary came forward and said; “My Lord, I have heard thee say aforetime; “Pistis Sophia is herself one of the four-and-twenty emanations, — how then is she not in their region? But thou hast said: I found her below the thirteenth aeon.” Marah, Ram-Io, Isis, Tonantzin, etc., is a…

Lady Sophia
Hey darlings! Today I’m going to be taking about the first spirit I spoke with: Lady Sophia! Lady Sophia is the personification of God´s Divine Wisdom as seen in Psalms and Proverbs. She is also seen in the Wisdom of Solomon, Song of Solomon, and [The Book of] Sirach (also known as Ecclesiasticus). 
She is the one who imparts the wisdom of God and uses her infinite knowledge to help us understand the world from God´s perspective. The wisdom of Lady Sophia is what leads you to God and all of Their gentle kindness, love, and blessings. The way I show my devotion for Lady Sophia is reading books and speaking to her about them after my daily prayer to Her. I also ask her for guidance in making big decisions. I haven’t really found anything to give her yet when it comes to physical offerings since She prefers I give my time and attention instead. I’ll post my prayer to Lady Sophia under the cut!
Holy Mother Who Gave Birth To Understanding, I Sing Your Praises! You soar, sustain, stir, climb, dive, and sing your way through this world, gifting thought to every beating heart. 
Your infinite mind never end. You keep circling, crossing over us on three wings— one speeds through heaven uniting with God, one holds the earth together with a kiss as light as dew, and one whispers over, under, and through our lives. 
We praise You, Lady Sophia! Oh most blessed Lady Wisdom. Mother of Rational Thought. Eternal Spirit of The World, may you gift me with wisdom, understanding, and right decision-making. 
Give mercy to and forgive your imperfect worshiper and dwell in my heart with your divine love and wisdom. 
-Amen

Evening Prayer - 30 Jun 2022
Sometimes I look back at a decision I made and realize it was truly wise. The decision need not be earth shaking or course changing. In fact, it seldom is. Like the decision to take today off. I decided to do that weeks ago and it didn't change anything. It simply allowed me to get myself more ready for my sabbatical (which has now officially begun). And tonight, I am so grateful I made that decision. It was a very wise choice.
I don’t know how wisdom works, God. I don’t know how the you that is called Sophia works. All I know is that I am grateful that you come as Sophia and that, at least some of the time, I listen and follow your advice. And then I look back with gratitude feeling wise. Like I do tonight. Amen.

I’m Jewish through my dad but I wasn’t raised in the community(i learned what Purim was two weeks ago, i was fully not in it), so when I got to college last august I decided to really dive in and it’s been a beautiful sort of homecoming for me. I joined SAEPi and got into Chabbad leadership at my campus, and I’m almost at the point where I can do the Chabbad Shabbat prayers before and after dinner without stumbling over my words. Gonna surprise my grandma if I see her in the summer. Anyways.
When October 7th happened it was a shock to my system, because I was a baby Jew barely getting my feet. My parents never mentioned antisemitism to me as something that could affect me in the future, it was always a thing of the past. But I was right there standing in the doorway between jew-ish and Jewish, and it pushed me over the edge. I had many friends with family in Israel. I had a couple friends whose friends died in the attack. Everyone in that group was my family. It felt personal.
When the march in dc happened I went with one of my friends, and it was sad, but amazing to see in person how strong we are. In the plane terminal on the way home he and I got cornered and called baby killers, among other things, because he was wearing a kippa and his Israeli first responder coat. That was my first time experiencing antisemitism and it was terrifying, even though I didn’t get hurt. It was terrifying even though my friend was built like a tank and would’ve protected me. It was terrifying just to sit in the train car with him and watch a woman stare at him with wide eyes like he was some kind of criminal. I stepped closer to him as if to remind her he’s human. I stared back at her with just as much fear and watched her snap out of it, confused.
Last week was holocaust awareness week at my college, and one of the things I did was spend a couple hours in the plaza reading the names of people that died. I found 34 Feldmans and Fotts. I found family names, Chana and Fayge and Jeshua and Sophia Feldman one after the other, and still am wondering if that was part of my family that didn’t make it to the US in time.
I called my grandma and asked for everything she could remember about her family lineage and how we got here, everything she had from that part of her life. I thought that there would be plenty to lean into, family recipes and heirlooms and stories, but there was barely anything. She has a Star of David necklace and a ton of repressed memories, next to nothing else. The recipes I could find were through my great aunt, some short instructions from my great grandmother on the back of a letter she sent to the aunt about what to ask for from a kosher butcher.
My family made it here in 1915 and 1921, they escaped before the holocaust, but they still weren’t untouched because of the ways they were ostracized and othered when they got here. My grandmother will barely admit she’s Jewish because none of her kids passed it on, it’s easier for her to let it go. I didn’t understand this until I realized that one couldn’t be hurt by the grief and pain of a family they aren’t part of.
Even those that survive are not left unscarred.
How could this not be personal? How could it not be generationally affective when it’s pushed so many to minimize their Jewishness out of self preservation? Raise their kids thinking they aren’t Jewish and hope their names never end up on a list of living or dead Jews? People still don’t see us as human. the antisemites still want to scar us. They want us to forget who we are.
It’s unreal to me when goyim act like American Jews in the current day are unaffected by the past and safe from antisemitism. I’ve been here less than a year and have been screamed at in an airport, have uncovered serious intergenerational trauma, and realized that of my Jewish family I have nothing to hold on to but a torn in half piece of paper with a sentence long tangent about brisket.
We are strong and we will outlive them, but god are we still fucking fighting for our lives.

O Alma Sophia
 O Gentle, O Kind, O Blessed Sophia, Thy children on earth call unto Thee: We pray Thee, our Beloved Mother, to cast forth Thy net of woven starlight.  Fling it wide across the ocean of the universe to gather us home to the realms of Light. Amen.
