Reminiscent / a version of Yaldabaoth / Chnoubis "The Demiurge"
- Snake with the head of a lion
- usually a negative / evil figure. Occasionally invoked / inscribed positively / for protection
- said to be born of the concept of wisdom (Sophia) who attempted to create something without the other half of her syzygy. On it's creation yaltabaoth was expelled from heaven (The Pleroma or "fullness") into the material world (The Kenoma or "emptiness"). It dragged Sophia into the material world with it and shattered her into a multitude of fragments. It then created the earth and imprisoned those fragments of Sophia in the Kenoma as humans, doomed to reincarnate into the material world until they achieve gnosis and are able to ascend back into The Pleroma.
Note: Also reminiscent of another thing.
