Billie Steigerwald on Eros, Yaldabaoth & the Fall of Sophia

Honored to have researcher and Gnostic priestess Billie Steigerwald at the Virtual Alexandria. We’ll go deep into the Orphic underworld to procure the treasure guarded by the dragon-headed snake. This quest will entail understanding the Gnostic idea of evil, the cosmologies of luminaries like Simon Magus, and the influence of the Orphic/Elusynean mysteries on Gnosticism. And how Gnostic thought might be the originator of modern erotic and romantic love (despite or because of their alleged world-hating).Get Astro Gnosis 3 tickets: https://thegodabovegod.com/astro-gnosis-3/The Gnostic Tarot: https://www.makeplayingcards.com/sell/synkrasisHomepage: https://thegodabovegod.com/ Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/aeonbyteAB Prime: https://thegodabovegod.com/members/subscription-levels/ Virtual Alexandria Academy: https://thegodabovegod.com/virtual-alexandria-academy/Voice Over services: https://thegodabovegod.com/voice-talent/ Astro Gnosis (Meet the Archons): https://thegodabovegod.com/meet-archon-replay/Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/aeon-byte-gnostic-radio/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
