• Demiurge

  In esoteric and conspiracy-oriented traditions, the Demiurge is described as the false creator of the material world: a lesser cosmic ruler who fashions physical reality, traps divine consciousness in matter, and obscures the existence of the true transcendent Source above him. In classical philosophy the Demiurge appears as a cosmic craftsman, but in Gnostic systems he becomes an ignorant, arrogant, or even oppressive architect of the visible world, often identified with Yaldabaoth, Samael, or Saklas and surrounded by archonic powers that maintain the prison of material existence.
