Yushamin
Uthra (angelic being) in Mandaeism / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In Mandaeism, Yushamin[lower-alpha 1] (Classical Mandaic: ࡉࡅࡔࡀࡌࡉࡍ) and also known as the 'Second Life', is the primal uthra (angel or guardian)[8]: 8 and a subservient emanation who was created by the Mandaean God 'The Great Life' (Hayyi Rabbi or 'The First Life'), hence beginning the creation of the material world.[9] Yushamin is the father of Abatur.[8]: 8 Jorunn J. Buckley identifies Yushamin as "both a Lightworld utra beyond reproach and the prototype of a priest who has made mistakes in ritual."[8]: 38
