OK - your second reference is page 443 -
is a good example of the "problem"
but also the possibility -
he says "The child Horus is a twin, two in one, Horus and Harpocrates,"
Well almost, Horus & Seth are the twins - and their relationship is very
old and very significant.
Then
"..., and they are also one with Set or Apophis . "
Which reads like an afterthought - quite confusing because Set and
Apophis are actually two different gods ,
or in fact Seth is a god but Apophis, difficult to tell, has no cult and
may be the personification of some principle.
Crowley doesn't really understand the difference - then says the
"destroyer of Osiris"
In the Osirian cycle Seth is made to be the murderer of Osiris -
But Apophis is the enemy of the sun god Ra and as far as I know he(or
she) has not so far managed to kill the sungod -
thanks in part to the fact that Seth protects the sun god from
Apophis!
the line "It is by the destruction of the prinnciple of death they are
born" -
is quite interesting and one that seems to have played a significant
role in the philosophy of the modern Temple of Set -
but it needed a bit of development ...
