Manichaeism was a major world religion founded by the prophet Mani (216–274) in the Sasanian Empire. It taught a dualistic cosmology about the struggle between a spiritual world of light, and a material world of darkness. Mani was viewed as the final prophet after Zoroaster, The Buddha, and Jesus.

#Asrestar is a class of #demons in #Manichaeism. They appear prominently in the Manichaean #creationMyth, especially the creation of mankind. Accordingly, Az decided to create humans in the image of the #ThirdMessenger and mingled the demonic asrestar with the light particles, that is basically the #soul. Although most asrestar are indistinguishable, an eminent demon called #Šaklūn, features as #demiurgicDemon entrapping humans in the material world during the #AdamAndEveNarration.

@dusepo What would #Manichaeism's survival have required? How would that have come about?

I'm having a quick browse around the web now. Great thoughts! Thank you for sharing them!

I need to know more interesting facts about #Manichaeism. This random hyperfixation of mine needs to be satisfied. I need some archaeologists to dig up some more ancient manuscripts right now.

Amsterdam's Bibliotheca Philosophica Hermetica (AKA "The Ritman Library) houses more ths 25,000 occult texts, covering "#Hermetics, #Rosicrucians, #Theosophy, #alchemy, #mysticism, #Gnosis and Western #Esotericism, #Sufism, #Kabbalah, #Anthroposophy, #Catharism, #Freemasonry, #Manichaeism, #Judaica, the #Grail, and comparative religion."
