The Castle Grounds Whitstable: No Spirit of Place

The Castle Grounds Whitstable: No Spirit of Place: "I miss the wooded area over by the road, which has been replaced by what appears to be a garden centre, and the weird bit of box hedging around the statue of the Milk Maid, which served no purpose whatsoever, but was quaintly eccentric in an old-fashioned, English sort of way."

The Hypostasis of the Archons: Gnosticism, The Roman Empire and the Myth of Christ.

The Hypostasis of the Archons: Gnosticism, The Roman Empire and the Myth of Christ.: "The words “Pistis” and “Sophia” mean “Faith” and “Wisdom”. It is the name given by the Gnostics to the female spiritual principle. She is their goddess. It’s a startling fact that this Christian group acknowledged a goddess figure in their pantheon, and that they equated the God of the Old Testament with such negative concepts as blind thought and blasphemy."
