ruha
In Mandaeism, Rūha (Classical Mandaic: ࡓࡅࡄࡀ, lit. 'spirit/breath'; also known as Namrūs or Hiwat (Ewath; Classical Mandaic: ࡏࡅࡀࡕ)) is the queen of the World of Darkness (alma ḏ-hšuka) or underworld. She rules the underworld together with her son Ur, the king of the World of Darkness, and her entourage of the seven planets and twelve constellations, who are also her offspring with Ur.
Ruha is the daughter of Qin, the Mistress of Darkness in the first underworld. She is the ruler of the third maṭarta (watch-house or purgatory). She is associated with lust, uncleanness (i.e., menstrual impurity), and other negative feminine qualities.
