The Chaldean Oracles are a set of spiritual and philosophical texts widely used by Neoplatonist philosophers from the 3rd to the 6th century CE. While the original texts have been lost, they have survived in the form of fragments consisting mainly of quotes and commentary by Neoplatonist writers. An analysis of the Chaldean Oracles demonstrates an inspiration for contemporary gnostic teachings.

Extrait : "Honneur à toi, Kama, dieu du désir, dont le souffle puissant fait sombrer les fleurs, par les traits immatériels, aériens, de qui sont vaincus les trois mondes : ciel, terre, enfer.

Notre triple monde, tel un petit carpillon vagabond, n'apparaît que comme un imperceptible reflet dans cette mer tempêtueuse."
