Often decried as a "heretical" Quietest, Marguerite Porete was a woman that dared to speak of her own direct intuitive experience of the Divine in a time when women were often held as incapable of genuine beatitude.

And beyond this - her beatific vision in many ways proved higher and subtler still than her male peers. For that she was sentenced to death by burning at the stake.

But her legacy lives on in these words that serve to guide us through the higher realms of spiritual pursuit, to the infinite wellspring of God itself.
