Reading into Gnostic Christianity, I've become most intrigued by Sophia (wisdom), the female counter part of Jesus/Christ (Hope).

Here is what I know on her, but I'm very open to anyone else's knowledge concerning this feminine entity.

Sophia is the feminine aspect of God, and ‘bride of Christ’. She is considered to have fallen from Grace, reasons unknown. However her fall either created or helped create the material world. She is also said to be the creator of the universe.

Sophia is the feminine divinity of Gnosticism. She has many names and aspects, including being associated or identified with the Holy Ghost. According to her various capacities, she is also the Universal Mother, Mother of the Living, Power on High, She of the Left hand- which is the opposite of Christ, he being of the right Hand. Other names include the Luxurious One, the Womb, the Virgin, the Wife of Male, the Revealer of Perfect Mysteries, the Saint Columba of Spirits, The heavenly Mother, the Wandering One, or Elena (the moon/Selene). She is seen as the female aspect of Logos/Logic

Inside all of man kind is the ‘divine spark of god’- it is contained or imprisoned in the body. The purpose of life is to enable the ‘Divine Spark’ to be released from its imprisonment in matter (physical form) and reunite/return to God (whom is considered the source of the Divine Light.) This belief is mostly associated with Gnosticism and Western Mystical Traditions (Kabbalah and Sufism)

Pistis Sophia states Christ was sent from the Godhead to bring Sophia back into her full pleroma (total divine powers). The point of Sophia coming into her full divine power again, was to aid humanity into recovering lost knowledge of the divine origins of humanity- this would bring back the unity between humanity and the Pleroma. Sophia cant create anything balanced without her male counterpart.

Each Aeon is an aspect of God- Sophia is the feminine aspect of God, where as Jesus is the masculine aspect. Together they are Wisdom. However, Sophia was separated from the Pleroma, forming the demiurge. The Demiurge is the deity responsible for the creation of the physical universe. Sophia is depicted as the mother of the Demiurge.

In the Nag Hammadi (a town in central Egypt, established by Mahmoud Basha Hammadi, a member of a large Egyptian family in Sohang), Sophia is the lowest aeon. She forms a unity with Christ, becoming conjoined with him (believed to be the Holy Spirit). Sophia is the creator of the material universe and its Gods (Yaldabaoth, Sameal, and Demiurge). In the “On the Origins of the World” she is depicted as the destroyer of both the material world and its God(s) and all his heavens.

"She [Sophia] will cast them down into the abyss. They [the archons] will be obliterated because of their wickedness. For they will come to be like volcanoes and consume one another until they perish at the hand of the prime parent. When he has destroyed them, he will turn against himself and destroy himself until he ceases to exist. And their heavens will fall one upon the next and their forces will be consumed by fire. Their eternal realms, too, will be overturned. And his heaven will fall and break in two. His [...] will fall down upon the [...] support them; they will fall into the abyss, and the abyss will be overturned. The light will [...] the darkness and obliterate it: it will be like something that never was."

‘On the Origins of the World’ found in the Nag Hammadi library, Codex II, following the ‘Reality of the Rules’.

In some beliefs, Sophia is seen as the hero who sent the Serpent into the Garden of Eden to guide/influence mankind towards enlightenment.

In Hebrew, Sophia ‘Wisdom of God” is Chokhmah.

the gnostics dislike being human way too much for my choice of religion, goddess or not people who think we were made to deny our flesh and other aspects that make us beloved humans, concern me.

it seems they're just another group who took a prophet with some good ideas, tried to deify Him, and then water Him down with other gods and goddesses, completely eliminating the aspect of who His father was.

The metaphor here and possible interpretations are terribly interesting. Christ and his followers divorced of the wisdom he was once wed to makes for an interesting allegory about some Christian's in America in this day and age...
