Chnoubis was one of the 36 Egyptian Decans, each of which occupied 10 degrees of the Zodiac. His image consists of two elements: a snake's body and a lion's head emanating rays. A similar god was raised to the status of supreme deity by doctrinal circles close to Gnosticism. 
The idea that the supreme god had the form of a lion and a snake was held by gnosticizing non-Christian magi, who invoked him with the words: “Hail, Serpent, indomitable Lion”
On gems his name often appears as Chnoumis, undoubtedly because this god was identified with the Egyptian creator god Chnum.
In Egypt Chnum was worshipped mainly in Elephantine as the god of the Nile flood and was also identified with the Agathodaimon, the Egyptian snake with a human head, the Lord of Destiny
In the speculations of Hebraizing magi sympathetic to Ophite ideas and worshippers of Chnoubis, the repentant creator of the Bible became the serpent that ‘broke and stifled’ the giants, who were the angels' children.
In Gnostic texts the serpent is the creator's disobedient son, while in Judea-Egyptian doctrine Chnoubis is the creator himself, who sent the Flood to destroy the whole of creation, except for the few righteous men, by water.
The identification of Chnoubis with the Hebrew god explains the title ‘he who broke the giants’: the divinity of Elephantine, Chnum, was the god who brought the Nile flood, who ruled over water and all liquid elements, and therefore had also sent the Flood.
So that's why it has a Lion's head, not because of some nonsensical crap you pulled out your ass. And I blocked you because you're an idiot, which is the only thing that's been unmasked here.
I suppose there's also something to be said for the fact this decan is also associated with Typhon (Set)
