Biography Abraxas
The word Abraxas (or Abrasax or Abracax) was engraved on certain antique
stones, called on that account Abraxas stones, which were used as amulets
or charms. The name is found in the Greek Magical Papyri, and the word may
be related to the word abracadabra, although other explanations exist. The
name is also found in Gnostic texts such as the Gospel of the Egyptians.
Abraxas has also been variously claimed throughout the centuries to be an
Egyptian god, a demon, and to represent God and Satan in one entity and the
