Short but interesting introduction to Martinism here:
Martinism: The Way Of The Heart
From the article (Proverbs 8:22-36; 9:1-6):
“Adonai made me as the beginning of his way,
the first of his ancient works.
I was appointed before the world,
before the start, before the earth’s beginnings.
When I was brought forth, there were no ocean depths,
no springs brimming with water.
I was brought forth before the hills,
before the mountains had settled in place;
he had not yet made the earth, the fields,
or even the earth’s first grains of dust.
When he established the heavens, I was there.
When he drew the horizon’s circle on the deep,
when he set the skies above in place,
when the fountains of the deep poured forth,
when he prescribed boundaries for the sea,
so that its water would not transgress his command,
when he marked out the foundations of the earth,
I was with him as someone he could trust.
For me, every day was pure delight,
as I played in his presence all the time,
playing everywhere on his earth,
and delighting to be with humankind.
“Therefore, children, listen to me:
happy are those who keep my ways.
Hear instruction, and grow wise;
do not refuse it.
How happy the person who listens to me,
who watches daily at my gates
and waits outside my doors.
For he who finds me finds life
and obtains the favor of Adonai.
But he who misses me harms himself;
all who hate me love death.”
Wisdom has built herself a house;
she has carved her seven pillars.
She has prepared her food, spiced her wine,
and she has set her table.
She has sent out her young girls [with invitations];
she calls from the heights of the city,
“Whoever is unsure of himself, turn in here!”
To someone weak-willed she says,
“Come and eat my food!
Drink the wine I have mixed!
Don’t stay unsure of yourself, but live!
Walk in the way of understanding!”
