"Behold, I shall reveal to you the path of deliverance. Whenever you are seized [in the soul] and undergo mortal fear, a multitude of archons may turn on you, thinking they can capture you. And in particular, three of them will seize you, those who pose as toll collectors. Not only do they demand toll, but they take away souls by theft."
(Nag Hammadi Library, ed. by James Robinson, 265)
This passage from the primary Gnostic texts reveals much. Firstly, that one can only be preyed upon by these evil wights when in a state of fear. Secondly, that they often appear in threes (significant to those who know how magistrates courts work). Thirdly, that they manifest in the form of toll (tax) collectors and by collecting one's money (currency) they harvest one's energy (soul, current).
Further discussion of this and its relevance to Germanic Heathenry can be found in the forthcoming new episode of The Fyrgen Podcast.
PS: 'Dieu et Mon Droit' - 'God and my right' (to rule) - is a fittingly archontic phrase.
