The gods of Liber Al are dyslexic : )

RHutton make a fair point although Thelema has grown a little since the 1980s (Thelema) but has indeed either split or (from my POV)
been in denial about its religious character -
I like the idea of thelema as Khemetic cult and so agree with your statement on how it ignored the best sources on Egyptology of the day -
and personally I have found it very creative and liberating to rectify the crowley "rectifications" -
an example that springs to mind is in Liber Samech, based on an Egyptian rite -
crowley changed "Moses (the Egyptian)", to the rather uninteresting Akh-afner-Khonsu,
and in the process perhaps lost something magical from the ritual?

Hi Sam,

 

No, the GD were *not* using the best Egyptology of the day, they had access to it, but, as I explain in my Crowley article in The Pomegranate, they _were ignoring it_.

 

That is interesting about the possible female form of Ra-Hoor-Khuit, but doesn’t that deity name really just refer to the attested Egyptian deity Re-Horakhty?
