Anush (Mandaeism)

In Mandaeism, Anush or Anush Uthra is an uthra from the World of Light. Anush is considered to be the Mandaean equivalent of Enos.
Prayers in the Qulasta frequently contain the recurring formula "In the name of Hibil, Šitil, and Anuš".
The Mshunia Kushta is considered to be the shkina of Anush Uthra.

Overview

According to the Mandaean scriptures, including the Qolastā, the Book of John and Genzā Rabbā, Enosh is cognate with the angelic soteriological figure Anush Uthra,, who is spoken of as the son or brother of Shitil. Anush is a lightworld being who taught John the Baptist and performed many of the same miracles within Jerusalem typically ascribed to Jesus by Christians.
