hanokkulttuuri

Hanokkulttuuri refers to a body of esoteric and mystical traditions that draw inspiration from the biblical figure Enoch. Enoch, described in the Book of Genesis as a man who "walked with God," is said to have been taken by God without dying, and is associated with angelic wisdom and knowledge of celestial realms. The primary texts attributed to Enoch are the Books of Enoch, specifically 1 Enoch, 2 Enoch, and 3 Enoch, which were not included in the Hebrew Bible but are considered canonical by some Christian traditions, such as the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church.

These texts contain narratives about Enoch's journeys through the heavens, encounters with angels, revelations about the structure of the cosmos, the origins of evil, and prophecies. Hanokkulttuuri traditions often focus on interpreting these texts to gain spiritual insights, understand divine mysteries, and potentially achieve a closer connection with the divine or angelic beings. Practices may involve meditation, prayer, scriptural study, and sometimes ritualistic elements aimed at accessing Enochian knowledge or communicating with angels. The tradition is not a single, unified religion but rather a diverse set of beliefs and practices found within various mystical and esoteric circles.
