This website is far from being finished, but I figured I could still make it available now. Proper credit isn't given everywhere, if you know where a certain text is from, please tell me (tumblr : astreesophia) and I'll add the author (or take it down if you wish)!

The Filianic Creed

The reiterated statements of the Filianic Creed make a concise and beautiful statement of the devotion and thealogy of those who believe in the feminine Holy Trinity. 

I believe that I am created from before the dawn of time
By the Eternal One, Madria Déa.
I believe that She is One and there are none beside Her,
And I believe that She is also Three.

I believe in the Celestial Mother, She Who is Pure Light;
Nyx, High Queen of the Pleroma,
The Creatrix of the Earth and of the Heavens,
And of all the infinite cosmos.

And I believe in Her Holy Daughter; Hemera,
Born of the Celestial Mother;
She Who rules all the energies of Creation,
Whose Nature is Perfect Love.

And I believe that there is She who stands beyond these Two,
Whose Name has not been spoken upon this Earth;
For She is the Beginning and the End,
The First Principle and the Final Cause,
The Holy Mysteria, the Primordial Chaos;
The Great Mother of all that is and all that is not;
She, Who Is.

I believe in the Seven Holy Janae,
The Seven Great Powers of Déa.
I believe that they are the Living Streams of Virtue,
Who flow from the Mother,
And that together, these Living Streams form the River of Life.

I believe that I was made a perfect creature,
I believe that at the dawn of time,
My soul did turn from the Perfection of existence,
that I may know of the other things, for many things I did not know.

And thus I gathered infirmity in my sovereign will;
I believe that through this choice, I must suffer
The limitation of imperfect being, to learn and know the other things,
For I believe within Her Divine Will, the darkness must be known
To truly know the Light,
And the Dark beyond the light.

And I believe that all Her Will might Be,
That the Daughter of Eternity
Gave Herself to be cast down into the depths of darkness.
I believe that She rose from the depths of darkness, triumphant,
And reigns as Queen of Heaven.

I believe that through Her descent into darkness, the fault of my soul shall perish,
And I know that through Her triumphant Life,
My soul shall rise renewed in Her Perfection;
That I may return to Eternal Communion with the Eternal One,
Madria Déa,
In the Completion of the Wholeness of Her Will.

Blessed is She.

The Sophian Creed has been edited to reflect my interpretation of the names of Dea, and "Aeon" has been changed to "Janae".


Hail Nyx

Hail Nyx, Fount of Grace, Glory be to You.
Blessed are You, O, High Queen of the Universe
and blessed is your beloved Daughter, Hemera.
Holy Nyx, Mother and God, shelter us fallen ones, now and eternally.
Amadea.
