Gnostic Politics and the Archons

With this Astro Gnosis presentation I’m making public, April DeConick dives deep into the enigmatic world of Gnosticism, exploring how the ancient Gnostics viewed the starry realms as a battleground between divine sparks and oppressive cosmic rulers known as Archons. She examines how Gnostic beliefs offered a powerful critique of Roman imperial rule, oppressive religious systems, and the nature of suffering. Let’s unravel Gnostic cosmology, their rituals of liberation, and the political implications of their spiritual rebellion. Just in time for the archontic chimera that is the election season!
