Origen

“ Thou, O first and seventh, who art born to command with confidence, thou, O Ialdabaoth, who art the rational ruler of a pure mind, and a perfect work to son and father, bearing the symbol of life in the character of a type, and opening to the world the gate which thou didst close against thy kingdom, I pass again in freedom through thy realm. Let grace be with me ”

“ Moreover, if any one would wish to become acquainted with the artifices of those sorcerers, through which they desire to lead men away by their teaching (as if they possessed the knowledge of certain secret rites) , but are not at all successful in so doing, let him listen to the instruction which they receive after passing through what is termed the “fence of wickedness,” [1] —gates which are subjected to the world of ruling spirits. ”
