Eve

First Gnostic and Messenger of Light who awakened Adam and gave birth to humanity. She is a kind of avatar of the aeon Protenoia (Forethought). When Adam expresses to her his gratitude for being awakened by her, she affirms, “I am the Forethought of pure light, I am the thought of the Virgin Spirit, who raises you to a place of honor. Arise, remember that you have heard…and beware of deep sleep…”
