In Gnosticism, Barbelo is the supreme, androgynous First Thought or first emanation of the transcendent, unknowable Father, representing divine mind and the perfect image of the invisible Spirit, serving as the Cosmic Womb (Mother-Father) from which creation and the divine family (Aeons) unfold, embodying qualities like Foreknowledge, Incorruptibility, and Eternal Life, and is central to the generation of the Pleroma (Fullness).
She is the source of all divine attributes, the active principle that brings forth Mind, Truth, Life, and the Christ figure, initiating the divine drama of creation from the divine substance.
