Adam kasia

Adam Kasia (Classical Mandaic: ࡀࡃࡀࡌ ࡊࡀࡎࡉࡀ; also referred to using the portmanteau Adakas ࡀࡃࡀࡊࡀࡎ in the Ginza Rabba^[1]) means "the hidden Adam" in Mandaic.^[2] The hidden Adam is also called Adam Qadmaiia (ࡀࡃࡀࡌ ࡒࡀࡃࡌࡀࡉࡉࡀ, "The First Adam").^[2] In Mandaeism, it means the soul of the first man.^[3]

Among the Mandaeans, Adam Kasia means the soul of every human.^[2]^[4]^[5] Adam Kasia shows many similarities with the Jewish idea of Adam Kadmon.^[6]

Prayers in the Qolasta, such as the Asiet Malkia, also refer to Adam as "Adam the First Man" (Adam gabra qadmaiia).^[7]
