Illustrated storyThe Last Star of the PleromaAn illustrated mythology faithful to the Gnostic scripture Pistis Sophia. Episode I: Sophia, dwelling at the edge of the Thirteenth Aeon, is lured by a counterfeit radiance sent deliberately by Authades the Self-Willed, and falls out of her realm into Chaos. Episode II: from her own fallen light the blind god Yaldabaoth is born, and he and his Archons strip away her radiance and imprison her in the lowest darkness, until from the depth of her loss she lifts thirteen cries toward the Light she cannot see. Episode III: the Ineffable Light answers, and the Savior descends through all the heavens, breaks the power of Authades, treads down the Archons, reclaims her stolen light thread by thread, and raises her toward the realm above; and the same way is left open to every soul that still carries a spark.Begin reading →
