> [!info] Part of the Casswiki article series [[Religion]] In [Gnostic]([[Gnosticism]]) language, the **demiurge** refers to the "malevolent God" of the Old Testament ([[Yahweh]]), a fallen angel responsible for material creation. This is an evil force keeping human [souls]([[Soul]]) in a prison of matter while misrepresenting himself as the one God of all creation. [[Boris Mouravieff]] speaks of the Absolute III when referring to a similar idea. This is also called the forces which govern the air, Lord of this world etc., i.e. the devil. Mouravieff is not, however, exactly a Gnostic; he is closer to [[Fourth Way]] thinking. See also -------- * [[Gnosticism]] * [[Yahweh]]
