Well, otherkin of a sort, anyway...

"Cathar views of Jesus were also gnostic in character. They taught
that Christ was not a physical man, but a being of pure spirit who
visited the earth only long enough to teach his apostles the doctrine
of salvation from the Old Testament God, the Demiurge who was
synonymous with Satan as the creator of the material world. The realm
of Light was the abode of the good and of freed souls, but the forces
of the earthly god worked to keep the souls of men imprisoned. Some
believed that the spirits of men were those of fallen angels
, lost
to matter after the fall from heaven."

As doctrines go, I have to say, I find this one far superior to the
one that would like to claim the genetic descent of a certain line of
people from the Nephelim or Annunaki. Especially since it begins with
the premise that this is true of all men, not just their
superspecialawesome (and somehow almost invariably Aryan) genepool.
As one might imagine, I'm not a fan of DeVere.
