Untitled[edit]

The three-eyed beings from Sirius are an example of possible Archons.

Read: Philip K. Dick

If an Archon can be the head of a sorrority there has to be a female form of the word. What is it?

Should we perhaps move the gnostic Archons to another page? I'm sure we could expand on what's already in the article, such as that the first Archon (when not called God himself) is often identified as Athoth, the Reaper, or how, in the Apocryphon of John, a massive list is given for the Archons responsible for engineering the body of Adam. I'd seperate it myself, but I wanted to see how everyone feels on this.

If one goes to Thesmothete one is redirected to Archon, but the word thesmothete appears nowhere on the Archon page. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.104.41.204 (talk) 20:02, 7 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

In the "Planets" section it say,s "Sanctam Hebdomadem VII stellas, quas dictunt planetas, esse volunt." We don't all speak Latin though -- can someone add a translation please? Guypersonson (talk) 01:19, 6 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

His Holiness the Unnamed Father of Ecumenical[edit]

Who is this All Holiness *T*he Ecumenical Patriarch? Can I get a reference? Is he even historically relevant and if so should he not be named and given the treatment an historically relevant Pater Ecumaniac deserves? Get continuity on this stat. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:602:9A00:5BB0:840:EC79:E08B:F3E7 (talk) 09:12, 16 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Gnostic meaning versus political title.[edit]

I think the Gnosticism section of this article should be splitted into a different article. The political title is poorly related to the Gnostic meaning, and the only relation that exist is because one (the Gnostic term) derives from the other (the political title), but besides that, they are now two completely different things. --Camahuetos (talk) 18:20, 28 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Nag Hammadi contrasting first evidence of modern useage[edit]

Camahuetos, your reasoning for splitting pages is misinformed. The first use of Archon was 1579 CE^[1]. The Nag Hammadi texts^[2] date back to mid Fourth Century AD.^[3]. The title derived from the beings themselves made the holders of the title relevant because of their relationship with the actual Archons^[4]Zerostatetechnologies (talk) 03:56, 22 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

A conspiracy theory now claims Archons are an alien species supposedly reported in the Gnostic texts. It may be well to watch this page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.137.150.35 (talk) 05:51, 8 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

splitting[edit]

Not sure if done right (not that experienced with this tags) But I would suggest to move the last section to the coressponding article. Otherwise this article is about two diffrent concepts and the Gnostic Archon is also in two different articles.--VenusFeuerFalle (talk) 13:21, 17 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
