From the editor:
In the esoteric teachings of alchemy, Gnosticism, and Sufism, Sophia is the embodiment of Wisdom, the matrix from which God arose, His heavenly consort, and mirror. According to these teachings, Sophia suffered a fall from this exalted state, and we see parallels to this fall in the overall devaluation the feminine in our modern world. The alchemical process illustrates Sophia's fall, transformation, incarnation, and union with God. Without Sophia, God is not whole. It is our task to work with soulful imagination to reunite Sophia and God. Raff brings Sophia to life as we journey with him through the Aurora Consurgens-a 14th-century alchemical text attributed to St. Thomas Aquinas-and through his personal experience with Sophia and active imagination. On this entrancing trip into the exotic world of ancient wisdom, we find symbols of and solutions to our modern plight. Reading this book imparts a mystical experience in which we hear Sophia's call to embody her love and wisdom here on Earth. By participating in the transformation of divine energies, we can bring more harmony into our world as well as our personal lives.
