This week’s episode compares Sethian gnosticism to the Valentinian gnosticism we usually feature. We’ll learn some of the basic ways that these two strains of “gnosticism” differ. Who/what is the Barbelo? Who/what is Yaldabaoth? Who/what falls from the Fullness to create our material world? Who and how is a person redeemed to the Fullness?
