Valentinus & The Valentinians


July 4  & July 5:   Besides being a poetic genius and an ethereal philosopher, Valentinus was the Gnostic who allegedly almost became Pope and might have changed the course of the Church in history.  He and his followers created some of the most beautiful, unifying theology of early Christianity, including the concept of the Trinity, a redeemed Demiurge, and a positive view of the cosmos.  We evoke their amazing contribution to Christian thought before they were crushed under the fury of Orthodoxy in the Fourth Century. 


Astral Guest-- Einar Thomassen,  author of 'The Spiritual Seed: The Church of the Valentinians' and one of the translators of the Nag Hammadi Library.

Abraxas begetteth truth and lying,
good and evil, light and darkness,
in the same word and in the same act.
Wherefore is Abraxas terrible.
It is love and love's murder.
It is the saint and his betrayer.
It is the brightest light of day
and the darkest night of madness.

--The Seven Sermons to The Dead—


The Gnostics were distinguished as the most polite, the most learned, and the most wealthy of the Christian name.'
--Edward Gibbon, 'Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire'—

'Gnosticism is the greatest threat to Orthodoxy in our modern times.'
--Pope Benedict--

The bird struggles out of the egg.

The egg is the world.

Whoever wants to be born, must first destroy a world.

The bird flies to God.

That God's name is Abraxas.

--Herman Hess, ‘Damien’
