Manicheism

Here is a doodle I made. I need to find out more about Manicheism which is an Iranian/Persian version of a Draco-Gnostic mythos. I just made up the term "Draco-Gnostics" to refer to Gnostic sects that hold the snake in high esteem; the Ophites, like I've mention, used the snake in a Eucharist ceremony and the Manicheism believed Jesus to be the incarnation of the Great Serpent (aka God) and were heavily inspired by Persian mythos. The Manicheans were also very Dualistic, on par with other Gnostic sects and Zoroasterism.

Also I'd like to explore how the Bacchus Cult influenced the Ophites because their Snake Eucharist was similar to a Baccuhusian ritual.

Also apparently the first mention of an Oracal ever in recorded history was by Virgil in the Aneaid where he mentions a priestess of Ob (or Aub) in the Canaan. Aeneid. Virgil. p. 46, &c, Worship. Dean. p 89 &c. Deane argues that אוב, in Leviticus chapter 20 verse 27, which is typically translated as "hath a familar spirit" or as a "ventriloquist" is most correctly translated as a "Priest/Priestess of Ob". I still need to go through some various Bible translations and check this out and cross check it with some Biblical commentary. Rashi would be the easiest to look up.

Also Manichism was influeneced heavily by Buddhist ideology and it is said that Mani reached Parinarvania but when used in the Manichaean it has a different context than with the Buddhist ideas.

And that's all I have for now.
