Recently I have taken up praying the Gnostic Rosary for a Lenten devotion. I have made a video on my channel on how I pray the rosary. The video is linked below, and the following is how I pray the rosary as well as the mysteries that I use with the days that they are prayed. On the cross make and pray the “Sign of the Cross” followed by the “Credo” while still on the Cross. On the first bead pray the Gnostic Prayer On the next three beads pray the Hail Sophia while meditating on Faith, Hope, and Love respectively. On the next bead pray the Gloria Patri Announce the first mystery on the Chaplet Pray the Gnostic Prayer on the chain before the first decade. Pray the Hail Sophia ten times while meditating on the first mystery. Pray the Gloria Patri on the chain before the singular bead. Announce the second mystery on the singular bead. Pray the Gnostic Prayer on the chain following the singular bead. Continue this for each mystery and decade until the end of the Rosary. On the Chaplet at the end pray the closing prayer. **Following this prayer I usually kiss the chaplet as a sign of devotion to Sophia, but this is not a standard**. Sign of the cross In the name of the Father, + and the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Amen Credo I acknowledge one great invisible God, the Unknown Father, Aeon of Aeons, who brought forth with His providence; the Father, the Mother, and the Son. I acknowledge the Christos, the self-begotten Son, born from the virginal and ineffable Mother in the high Aeons; who in the Logos of God came down from above to annul the emptiness of this age and restore the fullness of the Aeon.Continue Reading

During this time of the year many Pagans in the northern hemisphere are celebrating Imbolc. So I figured this would be a good time to cover what Imbolc means for not only a vast majority of Celtic focused Pagans but also many Christians out there, since in my practice I celebrate this overlap.  I want to first start with the significance of this time of the year. This is the time that we get the first signs of the spring season. This is seen by the onset of the lambing season, the beginning of the spring sowing, and the blooming of the blackthorn. It is also almost the midpoint between Yule and Ostara. The actual midpoint would be around the fourth of February but I’m not going to quibble over a 1-2 day difference because solstices and equinoxes can differ slightly. This is why in my practice I put a more hard line date to these days. We are also seeing the lengthening of days during this time of year as well. Because of this we see the lighting of candles playing a prominent role in practices and this reflects the increasing power of the sun.  In Christianity this time of the year is often referred to as Candlemass. I often interchange the words Imbolc and Candlemass in my practice. This celebration commemorates the presentation of Jesus at the Temple. This is a practice was done 33 days after circumcision along with a sin offering to purify the mother. Today in Christianity, candles are often brought to the local churches to be blessed for use during the rest of the year. In this practice the candles are a symbol of Christ being the light of the world.  This is also the time when the Catholic Church celebrates St. Brigid ofContinue Reading
