Sock of the Week - Sophia

Sophia as translated from the Greek language means wisdom. Honored as a Goddess of wisdom within the Neopagan and New Age movements, as well as within feminist-inspired Goddess spirituality Sophia actually transcends many ancient spiritual and religious practices. In Orthodox and Roman Catholic Christianity Sophia, or rather Hagia Sophia, Holy Wisdom is an expression of understanding of the Holy Spirit, but in no way in terms of pagan goddess worship. For the studied ancient Greeks the word Philosophy is formed from the two words philo-sophia, the love of wisdom. For us the concept of wisdom is by no means exclusive to a singular practice. Wisdom comes from learning all that comes in our consciousness and processing it to form sound decisions and practices.

We believe that sustainable business is wisdom in action. Making choices to use recycled materials in our product and to produce our socks domestically comes from our beliefs that we can change the world bit by bit by supporting our economy and protecting our natural resources. We gave the name of Sophia to this over the knee sock, to honor the inherent wisdom in all of us. As customers we honor your wisdom in understanding and acknowledging our business practices. We are grateful for your excitement and positive energy you share with us in supporting our vision of business in 21st Century America.

The colors in the Sophia Striped Over the Knee Sock come from an ancient piece of art by Saint Hildegard of Bingen. Soft pinks and yellows are grounded with a earthen taupe. This piece of art can be seen here.
