Occult Art : Visions of Gnosis

Yaldabaoth the Mad Scientist

"Yaldabaoth was angry with men because they did not worship or honor him as Father and God; he sent a deluge upon them to destroy all of them at the same time. But Sophia withstood him… and saved those who [had] the moist nature of that light which originated from her; through it the world was again filled with men."

(St. Iraneeus of Lyon, Against Heresies: The Sethian-Ophites, from Willis Barnstone’s The Other Bible, p. 663, pub. A.D. 1984)
