iii. Agathodaimon Print

A print inspired by the Agathodaimon, meaning “noble spirit” in Greek. The Agathodaimon here is depicted as the Lion-Serpent, and the Greco-Egyptian solar icon known as Chnoubis, who was commonly found carved into gems with the god of silence—Harpocrates, carved into the reverse.

This image was also known as Ialdabaoth to the Gnostics, which translates to “child from the egg of chaos” and the “spirit of matter”. And to Plato—the benevolent creator god of the material realm known as the Demiurge, which means “artisan”.

The ancient images of Chnoubis also commonly depict seven rays or stars which represent the seven colours of the rainbow, and the seven classical planets. The stars here are printed in metallic gold foil.

Available in A4 sized prints with gold foiled details.

iv. Abraxas Stone Pin

Created from a tracing of an antique Abraxas stone. The letters around the edge of the design are Greek—“ΣΕΜΕΣ ΕΙΛΑΜ” meaning El Sol Eterno—Eternal Sun, and at the bottom—the magical formula “ΙΑΩ” depicting a three-fold process of creation, destruction, and regeneration.

Abraxas is the name given to the composite figure of a God with the head of a rooster, the armoured body of a man, with legs of serpents, and wielding a shield and a scourge. These stones were used in ancient times as magical talismans or amulets for luck and protection.

Antique silver coloured die struck metal pin badge with black rubber clutch backing.
