Which Gnosticism Is Which – From Propagandistic Heresiologists to Ill Informed Occultists

Was Gnosticism ever truly heretical, or was it just misunderstood, misrepresented, and manipulated?

In Episode 11 of Gnostic Revival, Elder Zimriah Ex Lux Aeturnus unpacks the tangled web of misinformation surrounding Gnosticism—from early Church heresiologists like Irenaeus and Tertullian to modern occultists who twisted its meaning beyond recognition.

We expose how:

-The early Gnostics were deeply Christian and Christ-centered.
-Heresiologists exaggerated, slandered, and misquoted them to consolidate control.
-Aleister Crowley adopted Gnostic terminology but inherited his definitions from those same slanderers.
-Modern Luciferian and New Age circles misuse Gnostic names while abandoning the Logos and Sophia entirely.
-The real Nag Hammadi texts reveal a mystical Christianity rooted in the life, teachings, and divine mission of Jesus Christ.

This episode is a call to clarity. A reclamation of sacred ground.
And a warning: Not all who invoke “Gnosis” serve the Light. Watch till the end to learn how to recognize real Gnostic Christianity—by the flame it kindles, the Christ it honors, and the wisdom it awakens.
