"Unlike the Jewish and Christian traditions with which the Gnostic tradition is historically associated, the Gnostics placed a strong emphasis on the female aspects of divine presence."
Do you think there's an important difference, in this regard, between the Gnostic perspective and Eastern Orthodoxy's Sophia? Similarly, between syzygy as an understanding of unbalance and mystical union, and the Christian allegories of the bedchamber?
