This blog will attempt to make the hierogamous more clear, more noticeable to its readers. There are holy unions of complimentary opposites all around us, heaven coming down to earthly afairs, men and women uniting in a sacramental union, body and soul working together rather than against each other. Jesus not merely becoming flesh, but even becoming Food for us.

FAQ #1: What does hierogamous mean?
As I explained in my first book, Hierogamous Hymns (2000), hierogamous means "demonstrating hierogamy, the 'holy union' of two opposite things to form a synergistic new thing greater than the originals. Some examples would be: God and man uniting in the God-man, body and soul uniting into a human being, husband and wife into a marriage, Heaven and Earth uniting into the cosmos."
