Abraxas (Abrasax/Abracax) appears on “stones of Abraxas,” talismans of Gnostic sects: rooster head, man body, snake/scorpion legs, with whip and shield. Gnostics identified Abraxas with Yahweh (“Iao”). Appears on a Grand Master seal in the French Rite (1214); its use drew no Gnosticism accusations, implying no Gnostic beliefs/rituals among Templars.
