ENT_VAL_ANGELS_SAVIOR	Angels of the Savior	Valentinian	Aeonic collective	Aeonic collective		PER_GNO_2ND_4TH	A	reviewed	The (male) angels of the Saviour: the spiritual counterparts who accompany the Saviour out of the Pleroma; the spiritual seed is reunited with them in the bridal chamber, mending the broken syzygy.	collective
ENT_VAL_DECAD	Decad	Valentinian	Aeonic collective / second tier of Pleroma	Aeonic Collective	divine emanation; second Pleroma tier; ten aeons; cosmic fullness; Logos offspring		A		The Decad is the collective name for the ten aeons emanated by the syzygy of Logos and Zoe, constituting the second tier of the Valentinian Pleroma after the primary Ogdoad. Irenaeus (AH I.2.5) names them as five male-female pairs: Bythios and Mixis, Ageratos and Henosis, Autophyes and Hedone, Acinetos and Syncrasis, Monogenes and Macaria (or Theletos and Macaria in some variants). These ten aeons collectively embody aspects of divine creativity, stability, and productive will. The Decad's significance in the Valentinian system is structural: together with the Ogdoad (first eight aeons) and the Dodecad (twelve aeons), it completes the thirty-aeon Pleroma whose fullness (plēroma) constitutes the divine realm. The crisis in the Pleroma is triggered not within the Decad but in the Dodecad (by Sophia, the 30th aeon), but the Decad's existence is the precondition for that crisis. Layton (1987) pp. 276-302.	collective
ENT_VAL_DODECAD	Dodecad	Valentinian	Aeonic collective / third tier of Pleroma	Aeonic Collective	divine emanation; third Pleroma tier; twelve aeons; cosmic fullness; Sophia origin; fall		A		The Dodecad is the collective name for the twelve aeons emanated by the syzygy of Anthropos and Ecclesia, constituting the third and final tier of the Valentinian Pleroma. Irenaeus (AH I.2.5-6) names them as six male-female pairs: Paracletos and Pistis, Patricos and Elpis, Metricos and Agape, Ainos and Synesis, Ecclesiasticos and Makariotes, Theletos and Sophia. The theological significance of the Dodecad exceeds the Decad: it is within the Dodecad that the cosmological crisis originates, since Sophia — the 30th and last aeon of the entire Pleroma, paired with Theletos in the Dodecad — is seized by a "passion" to comprehend the Father (Bythos) without her consort, generating an unbounded desire (enthymesis) that, when separated from her by Horos (the boundary), becomes the lower Sophia or Achamoth. This fall of Sophia triggers the creation of the material world by the Demiurge (Yaldabaoth), whom Achamoth produces without a divine partner. The Dodecad thus functions as the point of transition from divine fullness to material creation in the Valentinian cosmological drama. Layton (1987) pp. 276-302.	collective
ENT_VAL_SPIRITUAL_SEED	Spiritual Seed	Valentinian	Elect collective/category	Elect collective		PER_GNO_2ND_4TH	A	reviewed	The spiritual seed (sperma pneumatikon): the pneumatic element that Achamoth, beholding the Saviour and his angels, conceived and sowed into the Demiurge's creation — the elect "Church" destined to re-enter the Pleroma. The title concept of Thomassen's study.	collective
