Seeking Wisdom

Our scriptures are chock-full of insights about the Mother, if we are willing to have eyes to see and ears to hear. Let's start this out with a scriptural reference to a passage in the Book of Mormon.

 
 

This scripture happens to be in the Book of Mormon, an amazing parallel to what the bible has to say about this glorified Lady Wisdom. Wisdom is a name utilized by the Canaanites and the Israelites to represent the Divine Feminine. Wisdom is better known by the name Asherah, considered to be the Mother God of all Gods.


Asherah was the consort or wife of El. Together, they form the Elohim, along with those in the council of the gods. The name Elohim requires both a male and a female presence, as the word takes on masculine and feminine imagery in plural form. The Elohim often address the Son of God in the text. (Might I suggest, you can't have a son without a Mother or a Father). You might see this, the Elohim, in the words, "the Lord God". The direct translation of which is "Yahweh Elohim" in Hebrew; Christ as Yahweh, and potentially the Father God and Mother God.


So it is believed by some historians and religious scholars that Asherah likely makes up the Elohim with her consort, El, in many scriptural passages. Both Asherah and Wisdom are both epithets or archetypes of the Mother, or perhaps the actual prototype Herself. Take whatever it is you like and what feels right with your soul. As for me, I feel a sacred significance behind the names Wisdom and Asherah. I feel my Mother there.


Now, back to this scripture. These two verses in particular speak to me. These people were scattered, because they did not accept Wisdom. Losing her in their worship was the cause of their scattering, or so this scripture entails.


Let's contemplate the meaning of these verses, and what that means for us in regards to our relationship with the Mother. It may be suggesting that we should desire and seek Wisdom and recognize Her reigning power in the cosmos and in our lives. This resonates with my soul, and Mother is a part of my sense of spirituality.


Now, how do we seek Wisdom in the sense of seeking the Mother? I suggest starting by doing this very thing; look for signs for Her in the scriptures. Look for passages that reference 'wisdom', 'Asherah', 'The Lord God,' even 'the Lord God Almighty.' Look for references to the Mother, to feminine imagery in the scriptures, to the process of motherhood, nursing, caring for the young. Read the passages that stand out to you and see if there is a message within those texts, and pray on it. There is so much we can glean, if we seek it. Check out what religious scholars, of this faith and other denominations, have to say on this subject. I have listed but a few below.


Tune in to next week's blog post for more information on how the Mother is hidden in texts, why Wisdom was removed from worship, and why the children were scattered. References are listed below with further information and backing on this subject, for your convenience.
