En To Pan, meaning „All is One“ in Greek, is intricately linked to the symbol of the Serpent/Ouroboros. It embodies the belief that all things are interconnected, reflecting the altruistic principles of Hermetic philosophy where the microcosm mirrors the macrocosm. In this perspective, the divine essence permeates both humanity and nature, contrasting with Monotheism, which posits a separation between the divine and its creation.

From the Nag Hammadi library emerges the ‚Coptic Gospel of the Egyptians,‘ referencing Abraxas as an Aeon residing alongside Sophia, the Goddess of Wisdom, and the radiant Eleleth. Eleleth’s encounter with darkness sets forth a chain of events leading to the reign of the Demiurge and the Archons over this world. Abraxas is frequently depicted amidst the Ouroboros on gemstones, symbolizing the encompassing nature of space, which separates the Pneuma (upper sphere) from the Gnostic Dark Waters known as Okeanos.

Carl Jung delves into Abraxas in his 1916 work, „The Seven Sermons to the Dead,“ portraying Him as a deity transcending the duality of the Christian God and Devil, embodying the synthesis of all opposites into a singular entity.
