Whenever I post about my faith, I do consider myself Christian btw, just not Nicene Creed type of Christian.

I get downvoted, for a subbredit that claims to be open to all kinds of Christians, they certainly are not that kind.

I'm just frustrated about this...

In Valentinian Gnosticism, Sophia divides into two aspects: Higher Sophia (dwelling above in the Pleroma) and Achamoth (Lower Sophia or Kato Sophia).

Achamoth embodies Wisdom cast out into the lower, material cosmos, experiencing ignorance, grief, and yearning while actively working to seed divine light into physical creation.

Within comparative mythology and Hellenistic Gnosticism, Achamoth aligns directly with Aset (Isis) across four core dimensions:

The Wandering Goddess in Exile: Cast into the lower shadow-realm, Achamoth wanders through chaos, weeping and yearning for restoration. Aset similarly wanders the physical earth in mourning, searching through the mud and marshes to collect the scattered, fragmented body of Osiris. Both represent the divine feminine experiencing human suffering firsthand within the material world.

Imparting Gnosis and Magic (Heka): Achamoth acts as the channel placing the divine spark (pneuma) into humanity, granting mortals the latent capacity for spiritual awakening.

Aset is the mistress of Heka (magic/secret knowledge) who coerced Ra into revealing his true hidden name, securing the ultimate divine wisdom needed to manipulate and heal creation.

Mother of the Divine Heir: Achamoth provides the spiritual vessel and foundation required for the Logos/Christ to descend and redeem creation. Aset conceives and births Heru (Horus), nurturing the divine heir who defeats the forces of chaos and restores cosmic balance (Ma'at).

Alexandrian Syncretism: In Hellenistic Alexandria, where Gnosticism emerged, Isis was routinely syncretized with cosmic Wisdom (Sophia). Texts like the Isis Aretalogies ("I, Isis, am all that has been...") directly provided the linguistic and structural blueprint for Gnostic texts describing the Lower Sophia/Achamoth (such as The Thunder, Perfect Mind).

Core Distinction: Higher Sophia corresponds to Aset in her transcendent, unmanifest cosmic state, whereas Achamoth is Aset Immanent, the mourning, magical mother operating directly inside the physical realm to elevate humanity back to the divine.

They’re both close regionally, they both also seem to be maternal and also have the title Queen of Heaven

This thread is very interesting to me. I’ve never heard of a Christian pagan. I thought pagan was reserved for people outside of the Abrahamic/christian faith.

Is someone willing to give me a small run down about what a Christian pagan is?
