The muliplicity of this Goddess, is expressed in the Nag Hammade scriptures, as a collections of
Gnostic texts, which were written in the 2nd and 3rd centuries A D and discovered in Egypt in
1945. One the scriptures is written throughout, in a female voice, which may be that of Isis,or the
Gnostic Sophia (or Wisdom  The voice refers to itself as "Thunder : Perfect Mind " It said.
" For I am the first, and the last.
I am the honoured one, and the scorned.
I am the whore, and the holy one.
 I am the wife ,and the virgin.
 I am the mother, and the daughter,
I am the members of my mother,
I am the barren one, and many are her sons.
I am she whose wedding is great,,
and I have not taken a husband,
I am the midwife, and she who does not bear.
I am the solace of my labour pains.
I am the bride, and the bride-groom.
and it is my husband who begot me.
I am the mother of my father,
And the sister of my husband,
And he is my offspring.
Give heed to me.
 I am the one who is disgraced, and the great one.
