Through Scivias, Hildegard of Bingen described a mystic philosophy full of archetypal images and a hero’s journey, wherein the soul predates the body and persists beyond experience on earth. The book deals with the interconnectivity of man in the universe the concept that man represents a microcosm of the cosmic macrocosm, in other words, the belief that the universe exists simultaneously within each of us, while also encompassing everything else externally. Scivias, (“Know the Ways”) describes 26 of Hildegard’s most vivid visions. Scivias, an illustrated tome, was Hildegard of Bingen’s first, and perhaps the most famous of her writings.
