Everything about St Le Of Revealing totally explained
The
Stèle of Revealing refers to an ancient Egyptian funerary artifact of
Ankh-af-na-khonsu or Ankh-ef-en-Khons which played a role in the creation of the religion known as
Thelema, adapted from the philosophy of
François Rabelais by
Aleister Crowley in
1904 with the writing of
The Book of the Law.
Origins
The stèle comes from Thebes, around the time of Dynasty XXVI.
In Thelema
According to
Aleister Crowley, his wife
Rose had already reported a revelation from the god
Horus, through his messenger
Aiwass. The couple went to the
Boulaq Museum in
Cairo, Egypt to see if she could recognize Horus on Monday, March 21, 1904. Rose did recognize an image of the god, on a painted
stèle bearing the catalogue number
666.
This image shows the three main deities of Thelema:
Nuit,
Hadit (or Horus as the solar disk), and Ra-Hoor-Khuit (or Horus merged with
Ra).
Inscriptions
The inscriptions on the front side of the object refer to the ancient Egyptian version of these deities, who egyptologist Zayed calls
Nut,
Behdty and Ra-Horakhty. Some of the text comes from chapter 91 of the Egyptian Book of the Dead. The back of the stela contains eleven lines of text from chapters 30 and 2, the latter of which "was to allow the astral form of the deceased to revisit the earth at will."
