Seeking Gnosis ~

The Spiral Inward

O creative Breath,
ebbing and flowing through all forms,

Free us from all constrictions,
so that the current of thy life
may move in us without hindrance.

Empower us with thy creativity,
and clothe us with royal dignity,

So that, fully at one with the vortex of thy desire,
sacred actions pour forth from us
with each breath we release.

Renew in us this day
our lifebreath, vigour, and passion,

And untie the tangled threads of destiny which bind us,
as we release others from the entanglement of past mistakes.

Do not let us lose ourselves in distraction,
but by the way of the breath,
lead us into mindfulness.

For from thy depths pour forth
the Way, the Life, and the Splendour,
from age to age, it is so. Ameyn.

I am stepping out on a limb here, but I’m hoping that this works.

I am new to the realm of Gnosticism. Not because  I have suddenly changed my beliefs from a more occult/pagan way, but because I only recently learned that there was actually a name for the way I had thought for such a long time. I had always thought I was just a weird Witch whom happened to follow a magical path but whom also believed that there was a truth out there, in those early days of Christianity, that had been overlooked.

I will add more to this later, but basically, I am a Gnostic Witch (if you really want a label), and I am hoping that through this site,  I can connect with others on a Gnostic path to discuss, share, learn…

I have browsed around some sites and there are LOTS of very learned people with a vast knowledge of writings and events and significant , historical things. This is great. I love reading about it all, but it can be overwhelming, and creating a somewhat more laid back , supportive online community is more the angle that the  Spiral Inward Forums is leaning toward.

The site is being built, literally, as I type this. The forum will get a facelift and other things are bound to change here and there, but the web url will stay the same.
