Famously Crowley’s own mother called him the Beast, not "a" but "the" … meaning the one from final book of the Christian Bible. An archetype he seemed to embrace … He was brought up in a Christian fundamentalist sect, viz the Plymouth Brethren Which despite their restrictive philosophy, rather than because of, the alma mata of several well, significant intellectuals or eccentrics, Crowley being just one of a parade of celebrities that come out of that sect. Though Crowley created or channeled his own religious or spiritual path, that of Thelema, many detect radical Christian undercurrent in much of his musings, and indeed he wrote at least one book directly on the topic of Christianity, this is "Crowley on Christ", originally “The Gospel of GBS” The Christian book that figures most in Crowley’s philosophy would be the New Testament "Book of Revelation". No surprise there. You could almost say he developed an entire magical philosophy from that one book. Thus in Thelema the Beast 666 and the figure of Babalon .. (Spelt Babalon rather than Babylon) have a big walk on role Was she a goddess? Apocalyptic literature : Revelation not unique and the compilers could well have chosen from an number of a similar class of literature.

In the rich tapestry of ancient Egyptian tradition, the god Horus emerges in numerous forms, each offering unique insights into the realm of magic. From Horus the Elder to Horus the Younger, these divine entities, despite differing parentage and characteristics, hold profound teachings for practitioners of the arcane arts. Central to Horus' magic is its culmination during the full moon, particularly in rituals involving the enigmatic lamp. While often overlooked, the significance of lamp magic in the ancient world far surpasses its utilitarian function of providing light. Delving into the annals of Egyptian history, we uncover a fascinating connection between lamps and the Festival of Lights, celebrated in various forms throughout the Egyptian world. Beyond mere illumination, lamps held spiritual significance, closely tied to deities like Osiris and Isis. In rituals detailed in the Greek magical papyri, lamp magic takes centre stage, offering practitioners a glimpse into ancient mystical practices. These rituals, often associated with the Festival of Lights, held profound symbolic meaning, transcending the physical realm to access spiritual truths. In the realm of ancient Egyptian religion and magic, lamps were more than simple sources of light; they were conduits for divine energy. Horus, personified in the lamp's flickering flame, symbolized enlightenment and protection on the journey through the underworld. The left eye of Horus, associated with the moon, embodied the mystic connection between light and lunar cycles. The lamp, as the personification of the Eye of Horus, held immense symbolic power, offering guidance and protection to the departed on their voyage to the realm of Osiris. Rituals involving lamps were integral to funerary practices, ensuring the deceased's safe passage into the afterlife. In ancient Egypt, the presentation of lamps, akin to modern-day candles, was a sacred rite performed by priests and loved ones alike. These offerings, made with reverence and accompanied by prayers, symbolized the eternal light that illuminated the path of the departed in the necropolis. Through the lens of Egyptian Magick, we gain insight into the profound significance of lamp magic. From vessel divination spells to rituals invoking the wisdom of Horus, these ancient practices offer modern seekers a bridge to the mystical world of antiquity. Embark on a journey into the heart of ancient Egyptian magic with the Egyptian Magick course. Discover the path to spiritual enlightenment and divine connection illuminated by mystical lamps. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/egyptianmagick/message

Crowley peak moments For me, the story of Aleister Crowley’s moment of truth in Cairo 1904 is one of the most interesting in a lifetime graced by perhaps a half dozen such experiences. Their cruise ship arrived in Alexandra, a short hop from Cairo, where they planned some sightseeing in the fascinating metropolis. They no doubt took in the sites and the nightlife. Crowley, who already knew the city, having visited a few years earlier, paying a little baksheesh to the local family for special access to the pyramids at night, where in the King’s chamber, he was able to show off some of his old tricks, with a handy copy of the Goetia, which has a preliminary invocation taken from ancient Egyptian magical papyri. The results cannot fail to have impressed Rose Kelly, who later, back in their lavish hotel room, no doubt having imbibed perhaps a little too much of the local Omar Khayyam vintage, fell into a light trance and said: “They are waiting for you”. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/egyptianmagick/message

The God Khonsu, the moon deity, which is very appropriate for the time of year whose name means The Wanderer, is all about Moon magic in ancient Egypt which is quite an important topic and I guess quite Central to our magical system based as it is around the lunar calendar. Khonsu being a Luna deity, not the only one, but it is quite Central to that so for the ancient Egyptians this would be the first month of Summer which is also where some of us are now .  In the Egyptian tongue or the late version of it, the word is Pachons which you can break down into an Egyptian phrase  per-en-khonsu  “ the one of Khonsu” which can be contracted to Pachons. The month of Khonsu is a very good example of this idea that within the Egyptian world view, every month of the cycle throughout the year of lunar months would be dedicated to one particular deity. Some of these were replaced and or lost as time went by but originally that would be the idea that each month of the year, through the seasons, is especially sacred to a particular deity. This month has retained its Khonsu connection, the moon God for a lunar month . The Wanderer which is an obvious reference to the moon's fast moving and irregular cycle.  Egyptian Luna deities are,  I would say, invariably male. Other examples would be Horus and Set. Which shows, as people have long recognized, that there's no simple equation of males being solar and females being lunar, which is sometimes heard  within the Neo Pagan Theology and other theologies as well.  Perhaps the metaphor of male and female as plus and minus, maybe you'd say for the Egyptians that wasn't quite as important. It wasn't the only way that they represented this important idea of a binary relationship between things.  Within Egyptian culture, a binary relationship between a pair of gods is a very important motif. But it doesn't necessarily mean that they have to be male and female. It's an option but there are other ways of showing the same thing. And  just to confuse things even more, the categories of male and female are a little bit more flexible within the Egyptian system and it would be possible to find a male lunar deity who has what is usually thought of as female attributes such as the capacity to “give birth”. As indeed Set gives birth to Thoth, one Moon God giving birth to another. This is a very interesting piece of mythology which we probably have to go into sometime, but which we'll leave that for now, because it's such a rich area. As I say, this interplay of important principles is often using sexual metaphors but they can be male/female male/male or female/female and other counterparts and there can also be sexual aspect that are just not the kind of strict male / female modality, which for them was not the only game in in town.  Quite a lot of interactions between the Egyptian gods are between those nominally of the same gender male and male or female and female and the homoerotic aspect of that was not avoided by the Egyptians it's just not really thought to be anything you always had to comment on. Or they may have seen it as just part of life as far as they were concerned.  So for instance the sun god Ra, the nocturnal sun can be another way of referring to the Moon. In this mythology the nocturnal sun, the Sun at midnight, is the Moon. And he has an important union to consummate with another underworld deity, the lord of the dead or Osiris. And when they come together and form a new entity, there's definitely a kind of sexual component to it, which they just didn't really feel that they had to comment on. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/egyptianmagick/message

In Egypt Osiris was regularly depicted and referred to as a giant. This happens in some very special monuments and situations too, devoted as they were to the magical transformation. This is yet another explanation of a Biblical account of the Nephilim, which was translated as meaning Giant in the Greek version of the Bible. This translation was commissioned by the pharaohs for their Library of Alexandria, where the 70 Jewish scholars worked, no doubt drawing on Egyptian sources chronicles. This is no mere idle interest but reveals an important magical and/or physiological insights, that persist over time. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/egyptianmagick/message
