Mandeanism is a religious practice that originated from the ancient city of Manda in Iraq. This faith is also known as Sabeanism, Sabianism, or Mandaean Gnosticism. Sabeanism refers to the worship of stars and planets, while Mandeanism is a more complex faith that involves various spiritual entities. Mandaean Gnosticism refers to the belief in the existence of secret knowledge that can lead to salvation. Mandeanism is also sometimes referred to as the "Gnostic religion of Iraq" or the "Baptist sect of Iraq" due to their unique baptismal rites. Regardless of the term used, Mandeanism remains a fascinating and unique religion that continues to thrive in various parts of the world today.
