Reviews

“This gift of the spirit to the reader by a devotee of Sophia is a loving presentation of ancient Hermetic knowledge as found dynamically in holy feminine gnosis—and it is by an apostle of wisdom who also happens to be a particularly receptive man.” * Lynn Picknett & Clive Prince, authors of When God Had a Wife * “With breathtaking scope and insight, Lee Irwin takes us deep into a powerful spiritual promise within humanity and the world, providing an inspirational roadmap into a positive future.” * David Spangler, author of Apprenticed to Spirit * “In this sensitive, inspiring, and well-informed exploration of divine feminine gnosis, Lee Irwin weaves masculine logos with feminine eros and wisdom to offer us seven pathways to engage in a more Sophianic spirituality: embodied, relational, and relevant to today’s changing world, where old paradigms, particularly around the patriarchal masculine, are crumbling. This book is a profound, illuminating, and soulful response to the call of our times. I wholeheartedly recommend it.” * Anna Howard, author of Quest for the Enlightened Feminine * “Lee Irwin’s brilliant book, Divine Feminine Gnosis, unveils a new understanding of Sophia—her wisdom and love—that guides us in our evolution through our lived experiences and intuitions and points the way to a transformed world where all of life is honored and partnerships in relationships of every kind are valued, whether between individuals, the Earth, or our sentient Cosmos and World Soul. His book is both timeless and timely, wisdom so needed now, as we make the journey of transformation.” * Carolyn Rivers, founder and director of The Sophia Institute * “How are we to understand the mysterious figure of Sophia in terms of the present age? What is meant today by divine feminine gnosis? In this book, Lee Irwin provides very contemporary answers to these and related questions and reveals an emerging paradigm. Explore new terrains and perspectives—read Divine Feminine Gnosis!” * Arthur Versluis, author of Alchemical Lightwork and The Secret History of Western Sexual Mysticism *
