Abraxas T-Shirt

The Gnostic deity Abraxas is used as a symbol throughout the text, idealizing the interdependence of all that is good and evil in the world. The symbol of Abraxas appears as a bird breaking free from an egg or a globe. In Hermann Hesse novel Demian, he argues that Jehovah, the Jewish God, is only one face of God; it rules over all that is wholesome, but there is another half of the world, and an infinite god must encompass both sides of this world.
