Shitil

In Mandaeism, Shitil (Classical Mandaic: ࡔࡉࡕࡉࡋ, romanized: Šitil) is an uthra (angel or guardian) from the World of Light.

[1] Prayers in the Qulasta frequently contain the recurring formula, "In the name of Hibil, Šitil, and Anuš" (Classical Mandaic: ࡁࡔࡅࡌࡀࡉࡄࡅࡍ ࡖࡄࡉࡁࡉࡋ ࡅࡔࡉࡕࡉࡋ ࡅࡀࡍࡅࡔ b-šumaihun ḏ-Hibil u-Šitil u-Anuš).

[2] According to the Mandaean scriptures, including the Qulasta, the Book of John and Genzā Rabbā, the angelic soteriological figure Shitil[3] is a son of Adam Qadmayya ("the first Adam") who taught John the Baptist with his brothers Anush (Enosh) and Hibil Ziwa (Abel).

Sheetil is one of the revealers of Mandaeism, identified as the biblical Seth.

[9] The Left Ginza mentions that Shitil was taken alive to the World of Light without a masiqta (death mass).
