Altar Figurine “Abraxas”, Large

Abraxas is a deity of the Gnostic tradition of late antiquity, depicted with a rooster's head, a warrior's body and serpents for legs. The figurine conveys this image together with a shield and whip, signs of protection and power.

Meaning in tradition. The numerical value of the Greek letters of the name Abraxas is 365, the number of days in a year, so the Gnostics saw him as lord of all heavenly spheres and of time. His image was carved on amulet gems, and in the twentieth century Carl Jung and Hermann Hesse made Abraxas a symbol of the unity of light and darkness.

Esoteric properties:

• helps unite opposite sides of the personality
• strengthens protection and the power of amulets
• supports understanding of cycles and time
• develops wholeness and inner balance

How to use. Place the figurine on an altar for Gnostic and occult practice and use it in meditations on the unity of opposites and in work with amulets.

The figurine is made of polystone in an antique bronze finish, with a name plate “Abraxas” on the base. Complete your altar with magic candles and incense.
