follow the lieder

“A god in certain Asian theogonies. From his name is derived the magical Word ABRACADABRA. He is represented on amulets as having the head of a cock, the feet of a dragon, and a whip in his hand. Demonologists have made him a demon with the head of a king and with serpents for his legs. The Egyptian Basilides, second-century heretics, looked upon him as their supreme god. He was also the persian sun god, and in Syria he was form of lao (aspect or name for Yahveh, Yahweh, or Jehová) It is said that the name was created to replace the unmentionable name of the Supreme Being.Finding that seven Greek letters containd his name amounted to number 365, the number of days in the year, they placed at his command several spirits who presided over the 365 heavens and to whom they attributed 365 virtues, one for each day. The Basilides also said that Jesús Christ, Our Savior, was but a benevolent spirit sent to earth by Abraxas. They deviated from the doctrine of their leader.” (Colin de Plancy, Dictionnaire Infernal, 1863)
