It is because he (God) was foolish
by not knowing his Mother, that he said: "I am God, and apart from me there is no
one". The Mother hearing him talking like that, exclaimed "Don't lie,
Jaldabaoth..."
Valentinus in E.Pagels "The Gnostic Gospels"
"The biblical "Sophia" is the Mother of the
Universe, the highest deity in Heaven, "equal to God". In the Russian Orthodox
Ritus She is still considered to be the All-Embracing One, the personification of the
"Eternal-Feminine"
"One of the most popular tales in Russia is "The Visit
of the Mother of God to Hell". This "proof" of Her limitless compassion (to
visit the victims of eternal punishment) is directly linked with the archaic myth of
Inanna
going to the Underworld searching for Her Lover"
"The title "Mother of God" (Theotokos) for the Madonna was
exacted from by the people (431, Efese), who wanted to restore the status of the Original
Great Mother. Hence, the concept of the "Mother of God" has
to be taken literally"
"Cybele, the Great Mother is being considered by Emperor Julian as the
Ultimate, giving birth to the Gods, which in their turn
are begetting the visible world"
J.Bidez "La Vie de l'Empereur Julien"
"Jean Gerson, chancellor of the University of Paris (around
1400) denounced images of the Madonna, symbolizing the entire
Trinity as being the fruit of Her Lap"
L. Huizinga "Herfsttij der Middeleeuwen"
"The Black Madonna's are in direct lineage with the Great
Mother: the African Black Mother, Kali, Cybele, Isis and Artemis. F.e. in 679 the
Merovingian King Dagobert II established the cult to "the one which
today receives the name of Our Lady and who is our Eternal Isis"
"The Holy Grail as Vessel of Abundance is symbolizing
nothing
but the Cosmic Womb"
"Darkness precedes the Light"
Inscription in the altar of Salerno Cathedral
God didn't create the world out of nothingness, but rather
Nothingness
is giving birth to both "God" and the world. The Eternal Feminine
is the Ground of Existence.
"The Madonna as "Queen of Heaven" - as expressed
in countless sanctuaries, patronesses, churches, religious orders and festivals - has
always played a dominant role in popular devotion. Christ
really comes second"
"Consciously or unconsciously, Marian theology is moving
toward a significant reinterpretation of the original Christian concept
of
the Godhead as consisting of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit"
S. Benko "The Virgin Goddess"
