Sons Aumen Israel

Sons Aumen Israel believe they are a resurrection of ancient Essene Christianity[?]. They believe that Yeshu (which is what they call Jesus of Nazareth) and Miryai (Mary Magdalene) are co-messiahs, and that Yeshu and Miryai were married and had sexual relations with each other. Their thought has been heavily influenced by Gnosticism (especially Valentinian Gnosticism[?]), Mandaeanism and Manichaeism.

They practice strict veganism, and several of them live on a commune in Arizona.
