Hey, I feel like the book of abatur(Diwan Abatur) can be a fantastic work of mandaic text to be adapted to a video game. The fact that it describes the road to Hayyi rabbi while crossing the river between the world of light and darkness and visiting the seven planets of mandaean cosmology which are defended by wolves and uthras reminds me a lot of video game levels. What do you guys think of this idea?
I am not mandaean but recently read a text about the tarmida initiation ritual. It said that to become a tarmida you have to pass the 68 day ritual that involves not sleeping in a reed hut for seven days straight up and if you sleep during the seven days you probably have to do it again cause the initiation is invalid. Considering the fact that a person cannot stay awake for 11 days without a major health risk, I was curious about how they stay awake for that long. How do they spend their time awake with no sleep for those seven days? What do they even do?
