2437	ENT_GNO_YALDABAOTH	aligned_with	ENT_GNO_SAMAEL	high	"Samael" ("Blind god") is the third name given to Yaldabaoth in Apocryphon of John (NHC II,1): his names are Yaldabaoth, Saklas, and Samael. In Sethian cosmology, Samael refers to his blindness to the divine world above him (he sees only the material realm and his own creation); in Jewish tradition Samael is the chief adversarial angel. The identification equates the Gnostic chief Archon with the Jewish demonic adversary, positioning Yaldabaoth as both the material creator and the divine opponent. This identification is one of the sharpest theological provocations in Sethian Gnostic theology — equating the creator God of the Hebrew Bible with the adversary. NHC II,1.
