Mary Magdalene

"Pistis Sophia," a Gnostic text:

1. "I have put my trust in the Light and have set the whole of my course."
2. "It is I who have saved thee from the hands of the lion-faced power of the wicked god."
3. "Open the gates for me that I may go in, and that all of the darkness may be banished from me."
4. "A great Light-stream issued from the Light, and it came down over Pistis Sophia."
5. "Pistis Sophia praised the First Mystery, saying: 'Praised be thou, O Light!'"

These quotes from the "Pistis Sophia" reflect the text's focus on spiritual enlightenment, the role of divine light, and the journey of Pistis Sophia in search of higher wisdom and salvation.
