Abrasax
Definition
Abrasax (or Abraxas): An ancient Gnostic and mystical term from Basilidian Gnosticism, representing a supreme deity or demon with a rooster head, symbolizing 365 emanations, heavens, or days in the year (via Greek isopsephy where A=1, B=2, etc.). In hip-hop culture, especially esoteric, occult, or five-percenter rap, it's invoked for ultimate power, cosmic cycles, or hidden knowledge, often tied to numerology like Wu-Tang's 36 Chambers mysticism.
