Planet Mars in Mandaeism
In Mandaeism, Nirig (Classical Mandaic: ࡍࡉࡓࡉࡂ) or Nerig is the Mandaic name for the planet Mars. Nirig is one of the seven planets (Classical Mandaic: ࡔࡅࡁࡀ, romanized: šuba, lit. 'The Seven'), who are part of the entourage of Ruha in the World of Darkness.[1][2]
Nirig, who is also called Marik, is associated with Islam, as well as with war and violence. Nirig's name is derived from the Akkadian Nergallu.[3]
