The Twelve Aeons

CA$1,111.00
Only 1 available

[This piece has been featured in IAO: Ophite Iconography, p.146.]

The Aeons are a distinctive aspect of the Gnostic systems of ascension, although their names and numbers vary heavily from one source to the other.

We have chosen the list of twelve Aeons, and they are depicted as different suns, each being the light of a potential universe, a whole cosmogenesis can occur at every stage, let us not forget how Abrasax was said to rule over up to 365 heavens. The sun of this world, obscure and diminished, looks scornfully at the initiate. Aeons were considered as measures of time, but also as the doxa, the ruling morality of a whole age (Luke 20:34-36), and as such, they constitute complete microcosms, ways of perceiving and engaging with the world. Only in Gnostic writings they can they be found personified as higher beings, and just as with the “twin” principle expressed by Thomas, we depict them sprouting forth from the enlightened mind as refractions and degrees of a higher self.

*Sales protocol for these original pieces will be unique in that, after a purchase is made on our website, we will personally reach out to each customer to arrange a customized shipping plan, ensuring both parties are aligned on what can and cannot be done to guarantee safe and smooth delivery of the items.
