Erotic Divine Darkness – The Transgressive Mysticism of Angela of Foligno

September 15, 2023 100985 Views

The interiority of mystics is notoriously difficult to access – We will never really know about the inner life of mysticism from the outside. But in the 13th century mystical writings of Angela of Foligno we have one of the best glimpses imaginable. Having experienced a profound conversion in her mid-life, Angela takes us on step by step journey through the redemption from sin, the “game of love” as the souls pursues the divine, the depths of dejection and sorrow and the collapse into the divinely dark nothingness of the Trinity.
