Tibil
In Mandaean cosmology, Tibil or occasionally Arqa ḏ-Tibil is the Earth or earthly middle realm. It is separated from the World of Light above and the World of Darkness below by ayar.
To reach the World of Light from Tibil, Mandaeans believe that need they to establish laufa to be reunited with the World of Light. The laufa is re-created and reconfirmed by priests through rituals such as maṣbuta. Upon death, priests must perform masiqta rituals to help the departed soul successfully navigate from Tibil through the various maṭarta that lie in between, in order to reach the World of Light.
