علاقة الطقوس بالمعتقدات الدينية في ديانة الصابئة المندائيين( طقس مصبوته أنموذجا)

Abstract

The Sabean-Mandaeans are an ethnic religious group whose presence is concentrated in southern
Mesopotamia (southern Iraq and southwestern Iran), and it is the oldest Gnostic sect in the region due to its
wise policy that has written for itself to survive and resurrect continuously. The water element is a major
component of the religious identity of the sect, so their homes were close to the waterways to keep them
ablaze. The ritual of the sabotah (pigmentation with water) is the cornerstone of their religion, because water
is a sacred secret in their faith, as it is the mediator that connects the world of the earth with the world of
heaven, and this is what we will try to uncover in this study.This is what we will try to uncover in this study,
which is divided into two sections, and then a conclusion. Where the first section will address the definition
of the ritual (casting), its conditions and requirements. As for the second topic, it will deal with the nodal
connotations of the (cast) ritual. Then the conclusion, which generally carries the most important findings
and conclusions.
