Greetings, Greeenpreist, I fully support your ecosophian point of veiw and the gospel of sophia. I think you should try to make a whole gospel of sophia with stories of your sophian expirences.
Farewell

Thank you, Crowshire. That is a great idea! I’m glad you’re resonating with the gospel of Sophia. Peace, Shawn

Hello.
This is amazing and very encouraging.
I was involved in Wicca for a long time, but I have been recently been called back to the Anglican Church.
I have been struggling with fitting my experience of the Divine in into the Church.
This is a breath of fresh air through my soul.
Hi there Vicki … I’m glad you found the site, and that it has been speaking to you. May I ask, what has your journey been like back to the church? I’d love to hear more…
Peace,
Shawn
One thing I would like to say, because it was the Gospel reading today.
As a Wiccan trying to adapt to Christianity, the first story in the Bible that really spoke to me was The Samaritan Woman at the well. (You can probably guess why).
I had adopted a practice of Lectio Divina at this time.
Reading a Bible passage, letting it rest in your heart and allowing the Spirit ( Sophia, Divine Wisdom ) to speak to you through it.
It was, well… magical.
The Woman at the Well is an amazing story! It is such a powerful reminder that the Holy One is the ultimate barrier-breaker, constantly startling people with the ability to connect on the deep and powerful levels of “living water, welling up from within”.
I heard a sermon the other day on this text, where the preacher pointed out that Jesus actually needs something from the woman … he asks for her aid in drawing some water for him. It’s a good reminder that God actually and truly desires something from us. It’s not all a one way street of us needing God all the time … She also wants our help, our co-operation, our mutual aid. This is a very different God than the omnipotent micromanager control-freak sometimes presented to us.
Much to feed upon …
Shawn
Beautiful music that brings us into the embrace of the Divine Feminine. http://www.ashanamusic.com/blog/category/feminine-divine/

This blog has some wonderful writings in it. As someone who has left Wicca behind because somehow it felt a bit empty – and has started along a rather solitary path based in Panentheism, Earth-Based Spirituality and Wisdom/Inner Knowing traditions (Christian, Judaic and Gnostic) I resonate deeply with much of what you say here. It’s odd to be in such a ‘in between’ space. Too Christian for the Pagans and too Pagan for the Christians. So…. I’m a divinaturist 🙂 Now, off to read some more of this site. ~ Pax
Hey there Birch Wind,
Great to hear from you … thanks for your post. I’d love to hear more about the journey and practice of a “divinaturist” … what a great word!
I’ve often felt caught in the “between space” of traditions … but hey, in ecology, it is those “transition zones” between different ecosystems which produce the most interesting forms of biodiversity!
Blessings on your Walk and your Work.
Peace,
Shawn
