Sophia is a divine being who can speak to us of the mystery of existence, of the wonder and glory of God's creation, and of all that radiates from every aspect of the creation. It is Sophia who opens up to us the mysteries of the seasons, of the relationships between earth and the cosmos, the healing properties of plants, and the mysteries of the animal kingdoms. It is Sophia who reveals to us the properties of the different precious stones and their healing powers. The temple of Solomon was a unique and majestic work, a manifestation of the divine and a testimony to divine inspiration. Solomon received wisdom and understanding from Sophia on how to build the temple when he turned to her in prayer. Sophia reveals herself to any human being who upholds the path of justice and righteousness. From age to age, Sophia enters into holy souls and all those who seek her.
