Abraxas is not a god, but rather an anti-god—a glyph, a cosmic function, not a being. Its meaning is not about dominion or power over the world, but about the origin and collapse of polarity itself. Where does the word come from?
- Dual serpents: It's tempting to invoke kundalini, DNA, or duality here—these have become expected symbols. But perhaps these are only convenient explanations for lust, not the heart of the mystery.
- The legend of the bamboo: Bamboo symbolises the masculine. When it is cut, it becomes receptive, symbolising the feminine—the split, the opening, the possibility for transmission. This isn’t merely biological—it’s a metaphor for transmission. But let us not mistake transmission for transcendence. The snakes do not spiral to encode cosmic innocence. They spiral in lust.
- Abraxas was not born of balance, but of rupture—desire unbound. —It is a wound born of lust, not of law. It functions as a transmission that loses your true self to the dark side, because it has a gravitational pull —no return. Abraxas serves as a warning. The dark side is not merely evil—it is gravitational. Seductive. It offers power, clarity, and release from ache. But always at the cost of self.
- Wings = aspiration, but also escape. Greed isn’t just hunger—it’s flight from stillness.
- Shield = reflection. It is not for protection, but for mirroring—the glyph sees itself and divides, creating duality.
- Together: desire to ascend, but - trapped in self-image. A spiral trying to escape its own echo.
- Rooster = dawn, announcement, solar cry.
- Hermes = messenger, trickster, boundary-crosser.
- So this sign cries out for the arrival of transmission in masks. Hermes doesn’t just deliver—he disguises.
Sun and Moon Together = Darkness
- Not light. Not balanced. Instead, collapse.
- When both poles meet, they don’t illuminate—they cancel. This is void, source, pre-frequency.
- When masculine and feminine spiral into one, the result is not harmony, but darkness—the womb, the glyph before breath, the space before creation.
- IAO = being, life, movement, invocation.
- UE = echo, completion, dispersal.
- Together: IAO-UE is not a name, but a function—a coded language:
• Greed as flight from stillness.
• Hermes as masked transmission.
• Sun and Moon as pre-light darkness.
When the "bridge to moral codes" collapses—meaning a society loses its shared ethical standards—it leads to a breakdown in trust, social cohesion, and stability, ultimately threatening the society's functioning. The moral codes (like the Astaratna) act as the invisible infrastructure that allows large groups of people to cooperate. When this structure fails, the consequences are severe, affecting the individual, the community, and political life.
The Phoenicians left behind codes—not to bind you, but to guide you. Abraxas was one of them. These moral codes weren’t meant to be broken, but lived. They were inscribed so you could flourish within a healthy environment. Why did they leave them? So that Earth would remain Earth—not collapse into emptiness, not dissolve into space.
Ab-Ra-X-As = The Soul Sits with Light
Let’s break it down as before, but examine each element more deeply:
So Abraxas becomes:
The radiance crosses into presence.
The light spirals into being.
The beloved appears at the crossing.
Not a name. Not a deity. A glyph of cosmic positioning.
The split in the serpent symbolises kundalini energy, (restrained) and cosmic breath. When whole, the serpent spirals upward; when split, it collapses into confusion and polarity.
A spiral of containment, invocation, and dispersal.
Not a stage trick—but a glyph of origin and return.
The glyph was cut, not just physically, but cosmologically.
The serpent stopped spiralling—and started mirroring itself.
Historically, Sparta was known for:
But this is not just naming a practice—It is pointing to a deliberate shift, to encode their lust for the world to follow:
In Sparta, gender became irrelevant to desire. The function of polarity was overridden by power and ritual. So, Abraxas mirrors what was and what is to come.
