The Gnostic Prayerbook: Daily Devotions & Book of Hours of Ancient Essenes, Nazoreans, & Manichaeans

The Gnostic Book of Prayer is the daily Psalter of the Gnostic Nazoreans. It contains the liturgy and Hymns of Light that accompany full body prostrations before the Gnostic Gods and Goddesses of Life and Light. These daily devotions for the Gnostic Hours of Qadumia, Tziphra, Tlata, Shitaya, Tesha, Ramsha, Shlama, Sitara, Lilya and Anpia come from two ancient and relatively unknown Gnostic scrolls - the Mandaean Qulasta and the Manichaean Hymnscroll. This Breviary also contains a list and explanation of the many Gods and Goddesses of both Nazoreans and Manichaeans.This collection represents the Gnostic equivalent of the Breviaries and Liturgical Books of Hours used by non Gnostic Christianity.
