Truth made names in the world, and without them we cannot think. Truth is one and is many, teaching one thing through the many.

Reflections and Essays
This section contains a variety of articles and essays relating to the thought and practice of contemporary neo-classical Gnosticism. We always welcome submissions of new material, so if you have any writing about Gnosticism that you would like to see featured on the website, feel free to submit it to the AGCA, regardless of whether you are a member. We are delighted by all contributions. Be sure to include the way in which you would like to be credited for your work (name, title, and so forth). For work of a more artistic nature, please also visit our Sophia's Breath Gallery. If you are interested in the more "scholarly" side of Gnostic experience, please also visit our discussion of the "Sacred Triumvirate," or the three great teachers of second-century classical Gnosticism: Basilides, Carpocrates, and Valentinus.
Unless otherwise indicated, these essays were written by our Vicar Brother Matthew Ouroboros, and are copyrighted by the AGCA. They may be reproduced in print or electronic format as long as authorship is indicated.
