Gnosis: Aeons & Sophia

Explore the worlds of the Gnosis through interactive maps, clear reading guides and historical source texts.

Gnosis brings together the Valentinian accounts, the story of Pistis Sophia and the Hermetic vision of Poimandres. Each keeps its own setting and vocabulary, with a source reading beside the explanation.

MAPS OF THE UNSEEN
Tap names in three relationship maps to discover the Depth, the aeons, Sophia, the boundary of the fullness, the lower world and the Hermetic ascent. Follow connected figures and open the relevant passage without leaving the app.

THE STORY OF SOPHIA
Follow seven short readings about longing, estrangement and return. Move at your own pace and pick up where you left off. The guide distinguishes the Valentinian narratives from the different world of Pistis Sophia.
