Sophia_(Gnosticism)

Sophia (Greek: Σοφία) is a concept in the religion and Hellenistic philosophy, Platonism, Gnosticism, Orthodox Christianity, Esoteric Christianity and the mystical Christianity. Literally it means that holds the "wisdom" (Greek: σοφός, "Sofos"). In Gnostic tradition, Sophia is a female figure, similar to the human soul and simultaneously one of the female aspects of God. The Gnostics claim that it is the syzygy of Jesus (see the Bride of Christ) and the Holy Spirit of the Trinity. It is sometimes referred to by the Hebrew equivalent Achamoth (Greek: Ἀχαμώθ) and as Prouneikos (Greek: Προύνικος, "salacious").
