| 2129 | Ennoia ENT_VAL_ENNOIA | emanates_from | Bythos ENT_VAL_BYTHOS | medium | In Valentinian variants that treat Ennoia as the first emission of Bythos rather than his co-eternal companion, she is the primordial Thought emitted by the Forefather before the full Pleroma unfolds. Cf. Nag Hammadi tractates; SRC_NHC. | Nag Hammadi Library SRC_NHC | approved | |
| 2410 | Spenta Armaiti ENT_ZOR_SPENTA_ARMATI | aligned_with | Sophia ENT_GNO_SOPHIA | medium | Spenta Armaiti ("Holy Devotion" / "Bounteous Piety") is the sole feminine Amesha Spenta — described as the daughter of Ahura Mazda in Yasna 45.4, governing the domains of earth (her physical correlate), piety, and holy devotion. She represents the divine feminine principle within the Zoroastrian divine emanation structure, combining wisdom-as-devotion with earth-mother function. Gnostic Sophia ("Wisdom") is the supreme feminine divine aeon in both Valentinian and Sethian Gnostic cosmologies (Apocryphon of John, NHC II,1; Trimorphic Protennoia, NHC XIII,1): the last of the Pleroma aeons in Valentinianism, whose unsanctioned creative act precipitates material creation; the divine mother figure whose consort/fall is cosmogonically central. The alignment is grounded in their shared status as the feminine divine wisdom/devotion figure within an emanatory divine hierarchy (Ahura Mazda → 6 Amesha Spentas; Supreme Father → 30 aeons). Confidence medium: the parallel is structural/typological; the Gnostic Sophia's role is more cosmogonically catastrophic than Spenta Armaiti's, and the traditions developed independently. Layton, The Gnostic Scriptures (1987) pp. 267-303; Boyce (1982) p. 71. | Nag Hammadi Library SRC_NHC | reviewed | Gnostic and Neoplatonic (2nd–4th c.) PER_GNO_2ND_4TH |
| 2412 | Ameretat ENT_ZOR_AMERETAT | aligned_with | Zoe ENT_GNO_ZOE | medium | Ameretat ("Immortality" — from Avestan a-mereta, "without death") is the Amesha Spenta of immortality and plants: his physical correlate is vegetation (which embodies perpetual renewal and thus the principle of deathlessness), and he governs the blessed immortality awaiting the righteous at the renovation of the world (Frashokereti). Gnostic Zoe ("Life") appears as one of the divine luminaries/aeons in Sethian Gnostic texts including the Apocryphon of John (NHC II,1: Zoe is one of the four lights), On the Origin of the World (NHC II,5: Zoe is the divine life principle), and Trimorphic Protennoia. The semantic alignment is the most direct available between an Amesha Spenta and a Gnostic aeon: Ameretat = "without-death" = immortality = life without end; Zoe = "Life." Both function within emanatory divine hierarchies as the positive life-principle standing in opposition to death and darkness (Ameretat opposes Zairika, the demoness of aging; Zoe stands against the death-principle in material creation). Confidence medium: the correspondence is semantic and structural but the traditions developed independently; the Gnostic Zoe's cosmological function differs from Ameretat's eschatological role.

| 2436 | Yaldabaoth ENT_GNO_YALDABAOTH | identified_with | Saklas ENT_GNO_SAKLAS | high | "Saklas" (Aramaic: "fool") is one of three names given to Yaldabaoth in Sethian texts: Yaldabaoth ("Child of chaos"), Saklas ("Fool"), and Samael ("Blind god"). Apocryphon of John (NHC II,1:11): "He is imperfect compared to the immortal father, for he is not perfect... He said to his fellows, 'I am God and no other god exists except me.' But by saying this, he showed the angels who were with him that there is another god; for if there were no other one, of whom would he be jealous?" The name Saklas most directly expresses his defining characteristic — ignorance/foolishness — in contrast to the Gnostic divine Nous (Mind). NHC II,1. | Nag Hammadi Library SRC_NHC | reviewed | Gnostic and Neoplatonic (2nd–4th c.) PER_GNO_2ND_4TH |
| 2437 | Yaldabaoth ENT_GNO_YALDABAOTH | aligned_with | Samael 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. | Nag Hammadi Library SRC_NHC | reviewed | Gnostic and Neoplatonic (2nd–4th c.) PER_GNO_2ND_4TH |
| 2438 | Yaldabaoth ENT_GNO_YALDABAOTH | opposes | Sophia ENT_GNO_SOPHIA | medium | Yaldabaoth, as the product of Sophia's/Achamoth's imperfect creation, is structurally opposed to Sophia throughout the Gnostic cosmological drama: Sophia's divine spark (pneuma) is trapped within the material creation that Yaldabaoth rules, and the task of the Gnostic savior is to release this pneuma from Yaldabaoth's material prison. In Sethian texts (Apocryphon of John, NHC II,1; Hypostasis of the Archons, NHC II,4), Yaldabaoth's rule is the antagonist to Sophia's redemptive movement. Confidence medium: the relationship is structural/thematic throughout Gnostic cosmology; the specific narrative interactions vary by text. | Nag Hammadi Library SRC_NHC | reviewed | Gnostic and Neoplatonic (2nd–4th c.)
