Behold Thy Mother | Ep 02 - Gift of the Goddess 

Jessica and Alynne share some of their backgrounds and personal journeys, and some of lessons we can learn from Eve's story and our personal experiences. Join us for an introduction to some of the empowering messages we can draw from such stories as we get ready to dive into the Old Testament in detail.

In this episode:

  • Questions from temple experience as a catalyst for deeper study.
  • An expanded view of motherhood from Eve's story.
  • Death as the first step to a new life.
  • Insights from "On the Origin of the World" from the Nag Hammadi library.
  • Olive oil symbolism.
  • "The hero's journey" in mythology and the temple narrative.
  • "The gift of the goddess" as a return enabled by the descent.
  • Eve's story points us to Christ
  • Darkness as it relates to the presence of God.
  • One eternal round: cyclical progression
  • Veil symbolism (you don't want to miss this!)


    • Subscribe for a weekly walk through the Old Testament (and the "Come Follow Me" lessons from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints) looking for our Mother God.
