	Encyclopedia: Borborites (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Epiphanius says the borborites were inspired by Sethianism, and had as a distinct feature of their rituals elements of sexual sacramentalism, including homosexual intercourse, smearing of hands with menstrual blood and semen, and consumption of the same as a variant of eucharist.
		As all these tellings about the borborites come from their opponents, we don't know for sure if they are true or exaggerated.
		If the Borborites were libertines and these are their writings then the account of Epiphanius need not be rejected, but his lowly view of them might be considered incomplete in light of the elegant spiritual writings they produced The Gnostic term Barbelo refers to the first emanation of Bythos.

		Energetic inquisitorial action was taken against the Borborites in the Byzantine-controlled section of Armenia by Mesrob Mashtots on the authorization of the catholicos Sahak Partev.
		According to historian Koriwn, Mashtots had little success in converting the Borborites; thereupon, with the active aid of the Byzantine authorities, he turned to the harsher methods of imprisonment and even torture.
		Since the Borborites, despite these steps, remained unrepentant they were branded with the 'sign of a fox', and finally expelled from the land.

		From the Borborites, it is hard to say where the current passed to, during the Islamic period, during the Dark Ages, save for the various sects in Syria and Kurdistan that we are interested in.
		A large number of Borborites are expelled from the Harran region, settle near Pumbeditha, where one of the most important schools of the Talmud was established, and then they are forced to flee to abandoned Christian monasteries.
		The Borborites – whom Epiphanius and Theodoret knew and catalogued as one of the sects related to those very Gnostics whose writings we have now recovered – were established as far away as Persia: under Justinian II (685-95) they returned from thence into Syria and Armenia.

	Ritual in Gnosticism (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		In spite of the creator's attempts to subvert the primal couple, by reuniting themselves they can now recreate their original androgyny, which they do in the birth of Seth, the "other seed." Like the divine Adamas, he is a true ("triple," i.e., androgynous) male Child, as is the "immovable race" he engenders.
		While a few Gnostic groups such as the late Sethian Borborites sought to replicate this primeval union through non-reproductive sexual union, most, like the earlier Sethians eschewed sexual union, which the they considered to typify the adulterous race of Cain.
		One might therefore effect a symbolic union on the transcendent plane through ritual means, the Sethians through baptismal ascension, and the Valentinians by an eschatological sacred marriage, the bridal chamber.

	SATANIC RITUAL ABUSE FACTS AND INFORMATION (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		The belief that certain people worship evil principles or entities, and use magic powers against others, commonly known as witchcraft, is probably as old as mankind and can today still be found in many cultures.
		For example the early Christian writer Epiphanius_of_Salamis in the 300s accused the Gnostic sect of the Borborites of extracting fetuses from pregnant women and consuming them.
		Allegations of Satanic ritual abuse are more complex and include the belief that organised groups systematically and repeatedly torture and kill others in the context of devil_worship.

	Satanists
		Some Gnostics claimed that the being declared God by Christians and Jews was in fact lesser being known as the Demiurge, whose name derives from the creator figure in Plato's Timaeus; a very few Gnostic sects indentifiede this figure with Satan; others (such as the Valentinians) saw Satan as a subsequent creation of the Demiurge.
		Some early Gnostic sects, such as the Borborites and the followers of Carpocrates, were accused of horrific acts, including the eating (in horrific imitation of the sacrament) of semen, menses and aborted fetuses.
		These acts were committed with the apparent justification of libertinism; given that the material universe was not God's creation, it could be put to any use with no moral consequences.

		One of these in particular, "Borborites," continued to be mentioned in later historical documents, especially in Syria and Mesopotamia (see Map 1).
		In fact, the original form of this name may have been Barb_rites, "followers of Barbero," for Epiphanius reports that Barbero was an alternate form of Barbelo (26.10.10), and that the sect was also known as Barbelites (26.3.7).
		The form spelled Borborites, "filthies, muddies," may thus be a polemical tag coined by opponents of the sect.

	The Doctrine of Carpocrates
		This would of course be a very late period cult, as Epiphanius would have been writing well into the middle of the 4th century, some two-hundred years after Carpocrates, Hadrian and Antinous lived.
		Epiphanius calls this sect the Phibionites, but has several others names for other variations including Borborites, Barbelites, Stratiotici and Coddians.
		He says that they are descended from the Sethian-Ophites, who were a Gnostic sect that venerated snakes and claimed to have obtained their knowledge from a mythical being called Seth, who is alternatively the, the descended Savior, or the Son of Adam and Eve (ancestor of Jesus) or the Set of Egyptian mythology.
