Category: Gnostic Cosmic Rulers · Origin: Gnostic Christianity, Nag Hammadi Texts
The Archons are malevolent cosmic rulers in Gnostic cosmology, created by the Demiurge to govern the material universe and keep humanity trapped in ignorance and materiality. These entities control the planetary spheres and enforce the laws of fate (Heimarmene), preventing souls from ascending to the true divine realm (Pleroma).
