Abraxas (Gk. ΑΒΡΑΞΑΣ, variant form Abrasax, ΑΒΡΑΣΑΞ) was a word of mystic meaning in the system of the Gnostic Basilides, being there applied to the “Great Archon” (Gk., megas archōn), the princeps of the 365 spheres (Gk., ouranoi).[1] The seven letters spelling its name may represent each of the seven classic planets—Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn.[2]

The word is found in Gnostic texts such as the Holy Book of the Great Invisible Spirit, and also appears in the Greek Magical Papyri. It was engraved on certain antique gemstones, called on that account Abraxas stones, which were used as amulets or charms. As the initial spelling on stones was 'Abrasax' (Αβρασαξ), the spelling of 'Abraxas' seen today probably originates in the confusion made between the Greek letters Sigma and Xi in the Latin transliteration. The word may be related to Abracadabra, although other explanations exist.

There are similarities and differences between such figures in reports about Basilides's teaching, ancient Gnostic texts, the larger Greco-Roman magical traditions, and modern magical and esoteric writings. Opinions abound on Abraxas, who in recent centuries has been claimed to be both an Egyptian god and a demon.[3] The Swiss psychiatrist Carl Jung wrote a short Gnostic treatise in 1916 called The Seven Sermons to the Dead, which called Abraxas a god higher than the Christian God and devil that combines all opposites into one being.



hope this helps .

It's got an African tribal flavor to it.

satanic

To the left, move it to the left.

Minds eye, push the subject to the left.

Colors, well richer, and more deep, blend purple higher.

Never use smoke.

Otherwise good.

Schucks, I got a wiki...

I don't like it.

I like it.

if you love darkness and satan even unto bondage and death yeah I guess that might be kind of cool...I choose Jesus Christ;

May you also find light and true peace.

It reminds me of a Hieronymus Bosch painting, creepy. I wouldn't want it in my house.

I like the Hell .

No.

My first thought when i saw it was the hawaiian goddess Pele.

I like it good job

Have you a patron?

It needs work.

(All I got was a blank page.)

It's pretty good, but I think the starbitch who's getting space-dusted by the sky leopard while riding the rainbow slide should be more of a focal point.
She's a bit dark, being the boundary for the scenes...if nothing else, make her cooter glow like the big bang is about to start with an epic intergalactic squirt.
