From the second century the name crowds the Graeco-Egyptian magical gems, engraved on amulets beside a cock-headed, serpent-legged figure with a whip and shield and invoked with IAO and Sabaoth as a protective name of power. Carl Jung took Abraxas up in the Seven Sermons to the Dead (1916) as the god beyond good and evil, and through Hermann Hesse's Demian the figure entered modern occultism.",

The planetary (Sun/Mercury), zodiacal (Leo/Capricorn), tarot, Sunday and litha sabbat values are modern Western overlays - the name's own claim is the 365-day year, not a planet. Jung's 'god beyond good and evil' and Hesse's Demian are twentieth-century receptions, not the ancient doctrine, and the figure should not be read as a living tradition's god."
