I made this as a goof a few weeks ago, and thought I may as well release it into the world. Fare thee well, Lowly Yaldabaoth!

Sophia, Aeon of Wisdom, always attempts to do something ambitious. The nature of her great mistake has several interpretations. She tries to comprehend the Chaos beyond the Pleroma, or attempts to produce her own microcosm just like her bosses in the Ogdoad, or attempts to take actions without the collaboration of the male half of her syzygy. Regardless, the result is cataclysmic. She produces a malformed, abortive, pseudo-Aeon called Ialdabaoth. The exact meaning and origin of this word is hotly debated. Much like Gnosticism itself, it bares linguistic footprints of Hebrew, Greek, Latin, but the most common interpretation is “Child of Chaos.”

Don't let modernity take the magic out of your life. Allow yourself to see the world as a beautiful place, a place you belong in, one that you were made for.
