<p>[QUOTE=&quot;wgpjr, post: 7681288, member: 22482&quot;]The chicken / snake legged deity is Abraxas (though technically Abrasax, as it&#039;s been mis-translated over the centuries).&nbsp; He is a deity (represents balance, in that it is neither good nor bad, but just &quot;is&quot;) in some sects of Gnosticism, which is an early version of Christianity before it became an orthodoxy via the council of Nicaea.&nbsp; Gnosticism sects would be &quot;eradicated&quot; by the Catholic church not too long after, though their texts have popped up over the years.&nbsp; I&#039;ve been studying Gnosticism for over 4 years now. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; The attributes of the deity is not to be taken literal, but rather metaphorically as each part represents different aspects.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
