![]() I think they are still very much a part of our current era. Unlike Crowley, I do not think the Old Gods like Osiris or Jesus, truly died. I find Crowley’s system of Thelema inspiring but I do not share its belief system in totality. ![]() The event signals the death of the Osiris, an Old God, and the Rule of Horus, the Younger. Crowley calls this new Era The Aeon of Horus.Ĭrowley says this Aeon started on March 20, 1904, in an apartment in Cairo, where he and his then “Scarlett Woman” had a religious experience that became the Book of the Law. The Aeon represents the event when the Era of the Last Judgement ended and the New Era begins. Why did Crowley change the name of the Trump from “Judgement”?Ĭrowley thought it was necessary to change the name of the Judgement Trump because he believed this event had already happened. It is the starting point of the process of emanation, from which emerge all aspects of the universe, both mental and physical. Hadit, on the other hand, the contracted point, is the point of contact between the Nothing and the Something. This is what philosophers call knowing God via negativa, that is, knowing God via what God is not. We call it Nothing, but it is really the aspects of God that are so beyond us that we have no positive idea of those aspects and have to rely on emptying our minds of ideas of what they are not. Nuit, Goddess of infinite space, which is a vacuum, which is nothingness, stands in for the principle that when it comes to 1, Kether, the Aces, there is always an implicit reference to that which is beyond the 1 but is incomprehensible to the human mind. On its face, Crowley’s religious experiences are just a different framework for thinking about the ancient archetypes of Isis and Osiris, the Mother and the Father, the Goddess and the God, corresponding to the principle of femininity and masculinity, respectively.Ĭrowley’s version of the classic alchemical duality between masculine and feminine is framed in obvious Qabalistic language. In Egyptian mythology, Horus is usually said to be the child of Isis and Osiris. In The Book of the Law, he is made aware of three gods: Nuit, the Goddess of infinite space, which is Nothingness Hadit, the God of the singularity, the point and Ra-Hoor-Khuit (Horus), their child. The Thoth tarot is unique because it is based on Crowley’s personal religious experiences, with the seminal, sacred text of his philosophy/religion Thelema being The Book of the Law. The card shows the Archangel Israfel blowing a trump proclaiming the Last Days, the end of the World, which comes in the next Trump. ![]() The traditional name is Judgment, referring to the Last Judgement of the Bible, Revelation, the end of the world.
