== Symbols == === The God Abraxas === The [[Gnosticism|Gnostic]] deity [[Abraxas]] is used as a symbol throughout the text, idealizing the interdependence of all that is good and evil in the world. Demian argues that [[Jehovah]], the Jewish God, is only one face of God; it rules over all that is wholesome, but there is another half of the world, and an infinite god must encompass both sides of this world. The symbol of Abraxas appears as a bird breaking free from an egg or a globe.
