Thank you - i'll see if i can find the rest of it -
just noticed that it is similar to the arrangement in Liber Resh -
which had always puzzled me -
perhaps crowley mistook Khnum for Ra?
btw the book on Grimoires passes over crowley's magick as a good example
of the grimoire in the modern world in
favour of Crowley's Necronomicon and Levey's Satanic Bible
"O Lofty one to whom praise is given
Great one of souls, mightily respected soul
whom the gods hold in awe
who appear in glory on your throne
The great one who makes paths
for my soul, my spirit and my shade
You have provided sunshine for me there
A way is prepared for me to the place
where Khnum, itum, Khopri and hathor live"
