"Don't Fear The Reaper" sighting

[Andrew Gilham]

>I've often wondered, what, where etc is Abraxas?

Gee, that dictionary comes in useful:

abraxas
 noun: a mystic word, or a gem engraved with such a word, often bearing a
mystical figure of combined human and animal form, used as a charm; (with
capital Abraxas) the genus of the gooseberry or magpie moth.

     >Said to have been coined by the 2nd century Egyptian Gnostic
Basilides to express 365 by addition of the numerical values of the Greek
letters
