The Chaldean Oracles Of Zoroaster: To Which Is Added the Hypostasis of the Archons

The Chaldean Oracles of Zoroaster are a collection of short, manifest-style philosophical concepts first written around the second or third century AD. They comprise a series of musings from the Gnostic path; perhaps from a certain figure named Julian the Theurgist, although the specific author is not known. To this, here, is added the Hypostasis of the Archons- a Gnostic work specifically telling the Gnostic story of Genesis, regarding the tyranny of the demiurge and the shadowy forces of what most humans consider the heavenly- for here it is Pistis Sophia and the divine realm well above these corrupted, fractured lower forces, which only from below, from the physical realm, seem high and mighty. The Gnostic philosophy here dwells upon the fracturing of existence, beyond the cosmic origin of all and the Monad, into further hierarchies at various levels, and within both texts this fracturing is seen as negative and fallen; for the demiurge of the traditional Christian here is antagonist, not protagonist.
