Hi all ~ Christine Burke mentioned this song during our time together recently, as calling in and/or bringing to mind Sophia. I looked it up and it is beautiful:

She moves like an angel
And seven evening stars
Dance through the window
Of her universal house

Her voice a crystal echo
Lies humming in your soul
So patiently awaiting
For your ears to behold

She ripples on the water
Leaves diamonds on the shore
And fish from every distance
Watch her ocean cellar door
Her breath a warm fire
In every lovers heart
A mistress to magicians
And a dancer to the gods
And a dancer to the gods

Her clothes are made of rainbows
And twenty thousand tears
Shine through the spaces
Of her golden ochre hair
Ooh my babe I want you
And on my life I swear
My conscience will I follow you forever
If you meet me everywhere
Yes if you if you meet me everywhere

A popular view of karma is cause and effect or 🤬-for-tat. Karma, however, is so much more complex, interesting, and important. The soul work of karma has to do with the unfolding of our individuality through the elements, through the ethers, and very much through relationships.
Rudolf Steiner named his core mission as bringing karma and reincarnation to the West; his teachings deserve interpretation and practical enlivening. The Central Regional Council has been exploring this theme for many months. Anthroposophic Psychology gives a unique contribution to the soul work of karma. For this conference the CRC is partnering with the Association for Anthroposophic Psychology (AAP of North America) to present ideas and experiences concerning karma—and how it impacts upon personal psychology.

Sophia! (sung after the Sophia presentation led by Hazel)
You of the whirling wings, circling, 
Encompassing energy of God:
You quicken the world in your grasp.
You quicken the world in your grasp.
One wing soars in heaven,
One wing sweeps the earth,
And the third flies all around us.
Praise to Sophia!
Let all the earth praise her!
Praise to Sophia!
Let all the earth praise her! 
~Hildegard of Bingen

INVOCATION
O Holy Sophia, Holy Wisdom, Holy Joy
                 hidden for so long
come forth and reveal yourself in the world 
                 and in our souls!

               Help us to see with a loving eye
Help us to hear with inwit and intuition
            Show us how to be natural and kind
Show us how to find ourselves in one another

Lead us from who we think we are 
                  to who we really are

           Let us learn from the flowers
           that we need not strive so hard.
Teach us to allow that Light from within 
         to unfold us as a gift like your Rose.
From Archives of the Heart, Collected Poems, Alice O. Howell

Isis-Sophia

Des Gottes Weisheit

Sie hat Luzifer getötet

Und auf der Weltenkräfte Schwingen

In Raumesweiten fortgetragen.

Christus-Wollen

In Menschen wirkend;

Es wird Luzifer entreissen

Und auf des Geisteswissens Booten

In Menschenseelen auferwecken

Isis-Sophia

Des Gottes Weisheit

Isis-Sophia

Wisdom of God:

Lucifer has slain her,

And on the wings of the world-wide Forces

Carried her hence into Cosmic space.

Christ-Will

Working in man:

Shall wrest from Lucifer

And on the boats of Spirit-knowledge

Call to new life in souls of man

Isis-Sophia

Wisdom of God.

https://wn.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA202/English/MP1983/19201224p02.html

Isis Sophia,

She Who has been robbed of Her Living creative Imaginations,
of Her Cloak of Stars,

of Her 'auric colours' -- with a brush of illusion swept
away from us.

She the wisdom of the Father God.

This we have lost.

But by the substance
of will,

by the will of Christ working in our hearts,

She can be refound.

-- Liane Collot d'Herbois
