A lead curse tablet, dating back around 1,700 years and probably written by a magician, has been discovered in a collapsed Roman mansion in Jerusalem, archaeologists report.
"I strike and strike down and nail down the tongue, the eyes, the wrath, the ire, the anger, the procrastination, the opposition of Iennys," part of the curse reads in translation. Kyrilla asks the gods to ensure that "he in no way oppose, so that he say or perform nothing adverse to Kyrilla … but rather that Iennys, whom the womb bore, be subject to her..."
Abrasax - This dude is actually in the Christian pantheon and was supposed to be higher than the biblical god. So, yeah, she was serious about this.

Uh, what? I've never heard of that dude before, let alone that he's higher than the Biblical god. According to what I'm familiar with, there are no members of the Christian pantheon - if it can even be called that - higher than the Biblical god.edit on 23-10-2013 by AfterInfinity because: (no reason given)
It's in the Christian pantheon via the Gnostic Christians. They don't exactly follow the rank and file Christian mythology but use more extra-biblical texts.

I was just looking it over. This Abraxas fellow features a lot of mystical correlations that really tickle my eccentric bone. Given my fascination with how all the layers of this reality are just translations of one another, from the greatest galaxy to the smallest atom, this Abraxas has a very intriguing profile. I'm glad you mentioned him.
