Wisdom is sourced in God opening within Himself space for Creation, space for Other within the Trinity.

Wisdom is the one who is other than God, but who perceives and receives the The Word and Spirit of God. Of necessity Other, having free will, can be either open or closed to God. Wisdom provides a place within this Other awareness for the ideas and will of God. Creation.

Wisdom is the hearing of God in creation. Wisdom is able to receive all the ideas of God, but is innocent to ideas from sources other than God. The consistent pattern of the Scriptures paints a picture of Wisdom having attributes of both Personhood, and the feminine.

If a personal understanding of Wisdom is foreign, or perhaps implausible to you, be aware that how you think of Wisdom, is the product of your world view or paradigm, and most of us see things through a Western materialist perspective.

Instead of asking 'why does scripture personalise or feminise Wisdom?' it is just as valid to ask 'why does the western mind depersonalise Wisdom, and think of her as an impersonal concept?'.

Casting Wisdom in personal and gender terms has indeed been done by Solomon and Christ (See Wisdom and the Bible) as well as characters as diverse as  St Augustine  and Jacob Boehme. There is no authority other than an impersonal Western Mindset for insisting that this casting is only a literary device, and not an ontological statement.

Wisdom's knowing cannot hear or understand evil, other than in the Cross of Christ. (This is heart of problem of the suffering of innocence.)

It is also important to understand that the fulness of Wisdom dwells within Christ.

Wisdom is primarily of the Spirit and in God, and can therefore only be approached in holiness.

Wisdom receives the Ideas Flow of living words, in receiving these they are given a home in her knowing, which is the garden of God.

Wisdom has sisters, the Virtues, see St Francis ( a fool who understood that all is person) and see also the shepherd of Hermas. Faith that receives, humility, holy awe, joy.
