A metal pin badge adapted from a scan of an ancient magical gem, in which depictions of deities were often carved into precious stones. This particular design features Harpocrates seated on a lotus flower.
Harpocrates was adapted by the Greeks from the child-god Horus of the Egyptians, who symbolised the “newborn” sun at dawn. The finger to his mouth was the hieroglyph of the child; in which the gesture was later misinterpreted as a gesture of silence, thus Harpocrates became the god of silence and secrecy.
In more modern times, Harpocrates is still considered to be a symbol of silence, and represents one’s innermost secret self, particularly within the system of Thelema.
Antique silver coloured die struck metal pin badges with black rubber clutch backings. Approximate diameter is 22mm. Limited to 99 pieces.
