Who are the Archons - The Rulers of the Cosmos in Gnosticism & their Origins in Cosmology and Magic
Gnosticism is infamous for its conception of the cosmos as the creation of the satanic Demiurge. But along with this entity is a retinue of demonic cosmic powers or Archons that act as co-creators and wardens of this prison universe. Join me as I explore the origins, nature and function of the Archons. From their terrible origins as primeval excretions of the Demiurge, to their dreadful creation of the human physical and psychical body - even a renegade Archon that defied the Demiurge and is even said to have created Jesus Christ. The Archons are an often overshadowed aspect of Gnosticism. Let’s trace their origins in the demonization of Yahweh, the Cosmic Daimons and Greco-Egyptian Magic.
