Mystical Love and Sufi Women
The mystical metaphysics of Love is one of the most recurring themes in Sufism, as it is in many other religious traditions.
In this collaboration with Dr. Justin Sledge and the channel ESOTERICA, we explore the Love Mystics of Islam and Christianity. Here I talk about Sufi women like Rabi'a al-Adawiyya and A'isha al-Ba'nuiyya and what role they played in the development of Islamic mysticism.
In Dr. Sledge's video, he talks about the Beguine mystics of medieval Christianity with figures like Mechtild of Magdeburg, Hadewijch & Marguerite Porete.
