Adam Kasia

Adam kasia means 'the hidden Adam',[1] and comes from Iranian mythology where it means the soul of the first man. The hidden Adam is also called Adam Qadmaia ("the first Adam").[1] Among the Mandean (south Iraq and south-west Iran) Adam kasia means the soul of every human.[1] Adam Kasia shows many similarities with the Jewish idea of Adam Kadmon.
