Mandaean

Deities

God in Mandaeism is Hayyi Rabbi (‘The Great Life’ or ‘The Great Living God’).
There are numerous uthras (angels or guardians). Some uthras are commonly referred to as emanations and are subservient beings to ‘The First Life’; their names include Second, Third, and Fourth Life (i.e. Yushamin, Abatur, and Ptahil).
Ptahil (Classical Mandaic: ࡐࡕࡀࡄࡉࡋ), the ‘Fourth Life’, alone does not constitute the demiurge, but only fills that role insofar as he is seen as the creator of the material world with the help of the evil spirit Ruha. Ruha is viewed negatively as the personification of the lower, emotional, and feminine elements of the human psyche.
