I don't know if any of you guys had seen this but I think it is interesting that to find Abraxas connected to another curse or invocation of power, like the Abraxas amulet that April Deconick found.
I wonder if it gives us a better picture of how people perceived Abraxas, even though I'm guessing the people invoking him probably aren't even Gnostic.
It also makes me wonder: why Abraxas and not Yalda, or even Norea or one of the angels or aeons?
