Wild Woman Gnostic

There has been a simultaneous increase in my physical energy (think, a hummingbird on crack), and a desire to slow down enough to pursue an academic education (which would require much more mental, than physical, energy). I am a perpetual student. I love the smell of books. And i love making lists, spreadsheets, pros & cons list. In fact, I am plotting out my next book in list format (for now).

I’ll be heading to the local bookstore tomorrow. It’s hard to find anything outside a Catholic/Christian bookstore, and one of the best Catholic stores in town is out of business. Did a quick online search yesterday of the type of books i was looking for. Hardly any available in store.  I think I’ll just see what there is when I get there.

Found some awesome books, including a translation of the Gnostic Gospels, but nothing on the Stations of the Cross. I had to have that shipped to my house. The Gnostic section was quite sparse with only a few copies of Elaine Pagels’ Beyond Belief and a small section of other books discussing the Gnostic Gospels. While the books I did purchase have some fascinating information, I was hoping to have some liturgy on the Stations of  the Cross. Even the number of the NAB was pretty sparse in comparison to the number of KJV bibles.

I have started plotting out the new book, which will focus on the woman known as Veronica, who wiped the sweat and blood from Jesus’ face (the 6th Station). The AI image i currently have as my profile pic is a representation of her as the Jewish equivalent of a vestal virgin.

I am still deciding on the format. Right now, the only thing I’m certain of is that it will be in the first person.
