Sea of Suf information


In Mandaean cosmology, the Sea of Suf (or Sea of Sup, Classical Mandaic: ࡉࡀࡌࡀ ࡖࡎࡅࡐ, romanized: iama ḏ-sup, lit. 'Sea of the End'[1]) is a primordial sea in the World of Darkness.[2][3] It is analogous to Tehom in the Book of Genesis. It is a great sea that the soul has to pass in the first steps of ascending, and is also considered to be the limit of worldly desire.
