Ok so what is gnosticism?
Well gnosis is actually an ancient greek word meaning knowledge.
So with that in mind, gnosticism is an ancient religious idea that emphasised personal spiritual knowledge over orthodox teaching and traditions. And This emphasis of personal knowledge over orthodox teachings is what makes gnosticism so fascinating and also one of the reasons why mainstream christianity considers it a heresy.
In general terms Gnostics believe that we all have a divine spark that lives within us. And that the mission is to liberate this divine spark so that we can acquire enough knowledge to understand the true nature of reality.
