BIBLIOGRAPHICAL NOTE
On 18th November, 1898 e.v., Aleister Crowley was initiated into the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn; he
took the motto “Perdurabo’ ‘—“I shall endure to the end” 1
In February of the year following, he attained the grade of Practicus, and was accordingly entrusted with the
secret attributions of the Tarot, especially those of the Atu. (See pp.5-10).
He worked daily on these MSS., for the most part under the personal instruction of G.H. Frater 7º=4º, D.D.C.
F. (S. Liddell Matters) and V.H. Fratres 5º=6º Iehi Aour (Allan Bennett, later Sayadaw Ananda Metteya) and Volo
Noscere (George Cecil Jones) as host or guest of one of these Adepts.
He continued these studies alone during his first Voyage around the earth in search Of the Hidden Wisdom.
On 8th, 9th and 10th April, 1904 e,v., he received the Book of the Law. Chosen bv the Masters to carry out
Their sublime plan, he began to prepare the way for the establishment of the New Aeon, as They instructed him.
(See The Equinox of the Gods for a very full and detailed account of this, the most important event in his
career). He accordingly published the previously secret attributions of the Tarot in the Book 777
vel
Prolegomena symbolica ad systemam Sceptico-mysticae viae explicandae,
fundamentum hieroglyphicum sanctissimorum scientiae summae.
Following the tradition of Eliphaz Levi, much of his magical writing is modelled on, or adorned by references
to, the Tarot. Notable in this connexion are:
Ambrosii Magi Hortus Rosarum (The Sword of Song, 1904 e.v.).
The Wake-World (Konx Om Pax, 1907 e.v.).
Liber XXX Aerum vel Saeculi sub figura CCCCXVIII:being of the Angels of the 30 Aethyrs the Vision and the Voice
(1911 e.v.).
The Book of Lies (1913 e.v.).
Magick in Theory and Practice (Book 4, Part III) 1929 e.v.
He published a full account of the Tarot, according to the MSS. of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn in The
Equinox, Vol.1, Nos. 7 and 8 (1912 e.v.).
During all this time the Tarot was his daily companion, guide, and object of research. He succeeded in uniting
under the Schema of the Holy Qabalah, of which the Tarot is the greatest single element, all philosophical and
magical systems soever, including that of the Chinese. This, and his “Naples Arrangement” are with little doubt
his greatest achievements in scholarship.

(Era: R.R. et A.C.) in January, 1900 e.v. That of Adeptus Major 6º=5º, taking the motto “OL SONUF VAORESAJI”, in April,

BIBLIOGRAPHICAL NOTE-Continued
For many years he had deplored the absence of any authentic Text of the Tarot. The mediaeval packs are
hopelessly corrupt, compiled by partisans of existing political systems, or otherwise far from presenting the
Ancient Truth of the Book in a coherent system, or a shape of lucid beauty.
It had from the beginning of his study been his fervent wish to construct a worthy Text.
Eliphaz Levi had himself wished to execute a similar task, but succeeded only in leaving us two of the Atu,
“The Chariot” and “The Devil”. Many others have attempted the work, but without even the knowledge of the
true Attributions. Their attempts have been gross, senseless, pitifully grotesque.
But the Masters who had watched, guided, and chastised the author of this present volume, had in store the
reward of his labours. They introduced to him a skilled artist, Frieda Harris, who, though she had little or no
previous knowledge of the Tarot, possessed in her own right the Essential Spirit of the book.
Together they bent their energies to the formidable task of preparing the 78 cards of the Book of Thoth.
His original idea had been to execute a pack after the tradition of the Mediaeval Editors, corrected in the
light of the descriptions given in The Equinox I, vii and viii. But she found technical difficulties, such as
introducing “10rayed Angelic hands” all over the place, producing a grotesque effect;and she also observed that

his teaching, in the course of his explanations went far higher and deeper than any-thing in any accessible
models. She accordingly forced him—the laziest man in three continents!—to undertake what is to all intent an
original work, including the latest discoveries in modern science, mathematics, philosophy, and anthropology; in
a word, to reproduce the whole of his Magical Mind pictorially on the skeleton of the ancient Qabalistic
tradition. He accepted this colossal burden; it renewed his energy and his enthusiasm.
Yet the burden was sore: the anticipated three months’ work extended to five years. Her success as his
interpreter surpasses belief. She had to work from his very rough sketches, often from mere descriptions, or
from reading between the lines of the old packs. She devoted her genius to the Work. With incredible rapidity
she picked up the rhythm, and with inexhaustible patience submitted to the corrections of the fanatical slave-
driver that she had invoked, often painting the same card as many as eight times until it measured up to his
Vanadium Steel yardstick!
May the passionate “love under will” which she has stored in this Treasury of Truth and Beauty flow forth from
the Splendour and Strength of her work to enlighten the world; may this Tarot serve as a chart for the bold
seamen of the New Aeon, to guide them across the Great Sea of Understanding to the City of the Pyramids!

PART ONE
THE THEORY OF THE TAROT
p.3
1
THE CONTENTS OF THE TAROT
THE TAROT is a pack of seventy-eight cards. There are four suits, as in modern playing cards, tvhich are
derived from it. But the Court cards number four instead of three. In addition, there are twenty-two cards called
“Trumps”, each of which is a symbolic picture with a title itself. At first sight one would suppose this
arrangement to be arbitrary, but it is not. It is necessitated, as will appear later, by the structure of the
universe, and in particular of the Solar System, as symbolized by the Holy Qabalah. This will be explained in due
course.
THE ORIGIN OF THE TAROT
The origin of this pack of cards is very obscure. Some authorities seek to put it back as far as the ancient
Egyptian Mysteries; others try to bring it forward as late as the fifteenth or even the sixteenth century. But the
Tarot certainly existed, in what may be called the classical form, as early as the fourteenth century; for packs of
that date are extant, and the form has not varied in any notable respect since that time. In the Middle Ages,
these cards were much used for fortune telling, especially by gypsies, so that it was customary to speak of the
“Tarot of the Bohemians”, or “Egyptians”. When it was found that the gypsies, despite the etymology, were of
Asiatic origin, some people tried to find its source in Indian art and literature. There is here no need to enter
into any discussion of these disputed points. 1
THE THEORY OF THE CORRESPONDENCES OF THE TAROT
Unimportant to the present purpose are tradition and authority. Einstein’s Theory of Relativity does not rest
on the fact that, when
1 It is supposed by some scholars that the R.O.T.A. (Rota, a wheel) consulted in the Collegium ad Spiritum Sanctum–see
the Manifesto “Fama Fraternitatis” of the Brothers of the Rosy Cross–was the Tarot.
p.4
his theory was put to the test, it was confirmed. The only theory of ultimate interest about the Tarot is that it is
an admirable symbolic picture of the Universe, based on the data of the Holy Qabalah. It will be proper, later in
this essay, to describe the Holy Qabalah somewhat fully, and to discuss relevant details. The part of it which is
here relevant is called Gematria, a science in which the numerical value of a Hebrew word, each letter being
also a number, links that word with others of the same value, or a multiple thereof. For example, AChD unity (1
+8 +4) =13; and AHBH love (1+5+2+5)=13. This fact is held to indicate “The nature of Unity is Love”. Then IHVH

THE BOOK OF THOTH, CONTENTS PART ONE
Jehovah (10 +5+6+5) =26=2 X 13. Therefore: “Jehovah is Unity manifested in Duality.” And so forth. One
important interpretation of Tarot is that it is a Notariqon of the Hebrew Torah, the Law; also of ThROA, the
Gate. Now, by the Yetziratic attributions—see table at end—this word may be read The Universe—the new-
born Sun—Zero. This is the true Magical Doctrine of Thelema: Zero equals Two. Also, by Gematria, the
numerical value of ThROA is 671 =61 x 11. Now 61 is AIN, Nothing or Zero; and 11is the number of Magical
Expansion; in this way also, therefore, ThROA announces that same dogma, the only satisfactory philosophical
explanation of the Cosmos, its origin, mode, and object. Complete mystery surrounds the question of the origin
of this system; any theory which satisfies the facts demands assumptions which are completely absurd. To
explain it at all, one has to postulate in the obscure past a fantastic assembly of learned rabbins, who solemnly
calculated all sorts of combinations of letters and numbers, and created the Hebrew language on this series of
manipulations. This theory is plainly contrary, not only to common sense, but to the facts of history, and to all
that we know about the formation of language. Nevertheless, the evidence is equally strong that there is
something, not a little of something but a great deal of something, a something which excludes all reasonable
theories of coincidence, in the correspondence between words and numbers.
It is an undeniable fact that any given number is not merely one more than the previous number and one less
than the subsequent number, but is an independent individual idea, a thing in itself; a
p.5
spiritual, moral and intellectual substance, not only as much as, but a great deal more than, any human being.
Its merely mathematical relations are indeed the laws of its being, but they do not constitute the number, any
more than the chemical and physical laws of reaction in the human anatomy give a complete picture of a man.
THE EVIDENCE FOR THE INITIATED TRADITION OF THE TAROT
I. Eliphaz Levi and the Taro.
Although the origins of the Tarot are perfectly obscure, there is a very interesting piece of quite modern
history, history well within the memory of living man, which is extremely significant, and will be found, as the
thesis develops, to sustain it in a very remarkable wav. In the middle of the nineteenth century, there arose a
very great Qabalist and scholar, who still annoys dull people by his habit of diverting himself at their expense by
making fools of them posthumously. His name was Alphonse Louis Constant, and he was an Abbe’ of the Roman
Church. For his “nom-de-guerre” he translated his name into Hebrew-Eliphas Levi Zahed, and he is very generally
known as Eliphas Levi. Eliphas Levi was a philosopher and an artist, besides being a supreme literary stylist and a
practical joker of the variety called “Pince sans rire”; and, being an artist and a profound symbolist, he was
immensely attracted by the Tarot. While in England, he proposed to Kenneth Mackenzie, a famous occult scholar
and high-grade Freemason, to reconstitute and issue a scientifically-designed pack. In his works are new
presentations by him of the trumps called Tile Chariot and The Devil. He seems to have understood that the
Tarot was actually a pictorial form of the Qabalistic Tree of Life, which is the basis of the whole Qabalah, so
much so that he composed his works on this basis. He wished to write a complete treatise on Magick. He divided
his subject into two parts—Theory and Practice which he called Dogma and Ritual. Each part has twenty-two
chapters, one for each of the twenty-two trumps; and each chapter
p.6
deals with the subject represented by the picture displayed by the trump. The importance of the accuracy of the
correspondence will appear in due course. Here we come to a slight complication. The chapters correspond, but
they correspond wrongly; and this is only to be explained by the fact that Levi felt himself bound by his original
oath of secrecy to the Order of Initiates which had given him the secrets of the Tarot.
2. The Tarot in the Cipher Manuscripts
At the time of the French Renaissance of the eighteen-fifties, a similar movement took place in England. Its
interest centred in ancient religions, and their traditions of initiation and thaumaturgy. Learned societies, some
secret or semi-secret, were founded or revived. Among the members of one such group, the Quatuor Coronati
Lodge of Freemasonry, were three men: one, Dr. Wynn Westcott, a London coroner; a Dr. Woodford, and a Dr.
Woodman. There is a little dispute as to which of these men went to the Farringdon Road, or whether it was the
Farringdon Road to which they went; but there is no doubt whatever that one of them bought an old book,
either from an obscure bookseller, or off a barrow, or found it in a library. This happened about 1884 or 1885.
There is no dispute that in this book were some loose papers; that these papers turned out to be written in
cipher; that these cipher manuscripts contained the material for the foundation of a secret society purporting to
confer initiation by means of ritual; and that among these manuscripts was an attribution of the trumps of the
Tarot to the letters of the Hebrew alphabet. When this matter is examined, it becomes quite clear that Levi’s
file:///D:/Books/Non-Fiction/Magick+Esoteric/Crowley/The book of Thoth/thoth.htm (6 of 26)28.02.2004 22:48:39
THE BOOK OF THOTH, CONTENTS PART ONE
wrong attribution of the letters was deliberate; that he knew the right attribution, and considered it his duty to
conceal it. (It made much trouble for him to camouflage his chapters!)
The cipher manuscripts were alleged to date from the earliest years of the nineteenth century; and there is a
note to one page which seems to be in the writing of Eliphas Levi. It appears extremely probable that he had
access to this manuscript on his visit to Bulwer Lytton, in England. In any case, as previously observed, Levi
shows constantly that he knew the correct attributions (with the exception, of course, of Tzaddi—why, will be
seen later) and tried to use them, without improperly revealing any secrets which he was sworn not to disclose.
As soon as one possesses the true attributions of these trumps, the Tarot leaps into life. One is intellectually
knocked down by the rightness of it. All the difficulties created by the traditional attributions as understood by
the ordinary scholar, disappear in a flash. For this reason, one is inclined to credit the claim for the
promulgators of the cipher manuscript, that they were guardians of a tradition of Truth.
3. The Tarot and the Heremetic Order of the Golden Dawn.
One must now digress into the history of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, the society reconstituted
by Dr. Westcott and his colleagues, in order to show further evidence as to the authenticity of the claim of the
promulgators of the cipher manuscript.
Among these papers, besides the attribution of the Tarot, were certain skeleton rituals, which purported to
contain the secrets of initiation; the name (with an address in Germany) of a Fraülein Sprengel was mentioned as
the issuing authority. Dr. Westcott wrote to her; and, with her permission, the Order of the Golden Dawn was
founded in 1886.
(The G .’. D .’. is merely a name for the Outer or Preliminary Order of the R.R. et A.C., which is in its turn an
external manifestation of the A .’. A.’. which is the true Order of Masters 1 —See Magick, pp.229-244.) The genius
who made this possible was a man named Samuel Liddell Mathers. After a time, Frl. Sprengel died; a letter
written to her, asking for more advanced knowledge, elicited a reply from one of her colleagues. This letter
informed Dr. Westcott of her death, adding that the writer and his associates had never approved of Frl.
Sprengel’s action in authorising any form of group working, but, in view of the great reverence and esteem in
which she was held, had refrained from open opposition. He went on to say that “this correspondence must now
cease”, but that if they wanted more advanced knowledge they could perfectly well get it by using in the proper

p.8
manner the knowledge which they already possessed. In other words, they must utilize their magical powers to
make contact with the Secret Chiefs of the Order. (This, incidentally, is a quite normal and traditional mode of
procedure.)
Shortly afterwards, Mathers, who had manoeuvred himself into the practical Headship of the Order,
announced that he had made this link; that the Secret Chiefs had authorized him to continue the work of the
Order, as its sole head. There is, however, no evidence that he was here a witness of truth, because no new
knowledge of any particular importance came to the Order; such as did appear proved to be no more than
Mathers could have acquired by normal means from quite accessible sources, such as the British Museum. These
circumstances, and a great deal of petty intrigue, led to serious dissatisfaction among the members of the
Order. Frl. Sprengel’s judgment, that group-working in an Order of this sort is possible, was shown in this case to
be wrong. In 1900, the Order in its existing form was destroyed.
The point of these data is simply to show that, at that time, the main preoccupation of all the serious
members of the Order was to get in touch with the Secret Chiefs themselves. In 1904 success was attained by
one of the yourigest members, Frater Perdurabo. The very fullest details of this occurrence are given in The
Equinox of the Gods.1 It is not here useful to discuss the evidence which goes to establish the truth of this claim.
But it is to be observed that it is internal evidence. It exists in the manuscript itself. It would make no difference
if the statement of any of the persons concerned turned out to be false.
4.The Nature of the Evidence
These historical digressions have been essential to the under-standing of the conditions of this enquiry. It is
now proper to con-
1 Consult especially pp. 61 to 119. The message of the Secret Chiefs is even in the Book of the Law which has been
published privately for initiates, and publicly in The Equinox, Vol. I, No.7 and No.10; also, with full details, in The Equinox
of the Gods, pp.13 to 38. In a pocket at the end of that volume is a photolithographic reproduction of the manuscript.
There is also a cheap pocket edition of the text of the Book by itself. There are also American Editions of the text.

sider the peculiar numbering of the Trumps. It appears natural to a mathematician to begin the series of natural
numbers with Zero; but it is very disturbing to the non-mathematically trained mind. In the traditional essays
and books on the Tarot, the card numbered “0” was supposed to lie between the cards XX and XXI. The secret of
the initiated interpretation, which makes the whole meaning ol the Trumps luminous, is simply to put this card
marked “0” in its natural place, where any mathematician would have put it, in front of the number One. But
there is still one peculiarity, one disturbance in the natural sequence. This is that the cards VIII and XI have to
be counterchanged, in order to preserve the attribution. For the card XI is called “Strength”; on it appears a
Lion, and it quite evidently refers to the zodiaca1 sign Leo, whereas the card VIII is called “Justice”, and
represents the conventional symbolir. figure, throned, with sword and balances, thus obviously referring to tile
zodiacal sign of Libra, the Balance.
Frater Perdurabo had made a very profound study of the Tarot since his initiation to the Order on 18th
November, 1898; for, three months later, he had attained the grade of Practicus; as such, he became entitled to
know the Secret Attribution. He constantly studied this and the accompanying explanatory manuscripts. He
checked up on all these attributes of the numbers to the forms of nature, and found nothing incongruous. But
when (8th April, 1904 e.v.) he was writing down the Book of the Law from the dictation of the messenger of the
Secret Chiefs, he seems to have put a mental question, suggested by the words in Chapter I, verse 57: “the law
of the Fortress, and the great mystery of the House of God” (“The House of God” is one name of the Tarot Trump
numbered XVI) to this effect: “Have I got these attributions right?” For there came an interpolated answer, “All
these old letters of my book are aright; but x is not the Star. This also is secret; my prophet shall reveal it to the
wise”. This was exceedingly annoying. If Tzaddi was not “the Star”, what was? And what was Tzaddi? He tried for
years to counter-change this card, “The Star”, which is numbered XVII, with some other. He had no success. It
was many years later that the solution came to him. Tzaddi is “The Emperor”; and therefore the positions
p.10
of XVII and IV must be counterchanged. This attribution is very satisfactory.
Yes, but it is something a great deal more than satisfactory; it is, to clear thought, the most convincing
evidence possible that the Book of ‘he Law is a genuine message from the Secret Chiefs.
For “The Star” is referred to Aquarius in the Zodiac, and “The Emperor’ to Anes. Now Aries and Aquarius are on
each side of Pisces, just as Leo and Libra are on eadi side of Virgo; that is to say, the correction in the Book of
the Law gives a perfect symmetry in the zodiacal attribution, just as if a loop were formed at one end of the
ellipse to correspond exactly with the existing loop at the other end. These matters sound rather technical; in
fact, they are; but the more one studies the Tarot, the more one perceives the admirable symmetry and
perfection of the symbolism. Yet, even to the layman, it ought to be evident that balance and fitness are
essential to any perfection, and the elucidation of these two tangles in the last 150 years is undoubtedly a very
remarkable phenomenon.
SUMMARY OF THE QUESTIONS HITHERTO DISCUSSED
I. The origin of the Tarot is quite irrelevant, even if it were certain, It must stand or fall as a system on its
own merits.
2. It is beyond doubt a deliberate attempt to represent, in pictorial form, the doctrines of the Qabalah.
3. The evidence for this is very much like the evidence brought forward by a person doing a crossword
puzzle. He knows from the “Across” clues that his word is “SCRUN blank H”; so it is certain, beyond error, that the
blank must be a “C”
4. These attributions are in one sense a conventional, symboh’c map; such could be invented by some person
or persons of great artistic imagination and ingenuity combined with almost unthinkably great scholarship and
philosophical clarity.
5. Such persons, however eminent we may suppose them to have been, are not quite capable of making a
system so abstruse in its entirety without the assistance of superiors whose mental processes were) or are,
pertaining to a higher Dimension.

THE BOOK OF THOTH, CONTENTS PART ONE
p.12
One might take, by way of an analogy, the game of chess. Chess has developed from very simple beginnings.
It was a mimic battle for tired warriors; but the subtleties of the modern game-which have now, thanks to
Richard Reti, gone quite beyond calculation into the world of aesthetic creation-were latent in the original

THE BOOK OF THOTH, CONTENTS PART ONE
design. The originators of the game were “building better than they knew” It is of course possible to argue that
these subtleties have arisen in the course of the development of the game; and indeed it is quite clear,
historically, that the early players whose games are on record had no conscious conception of anything beyond a
variety of rather crude and elementary stratagems. It is quite possible to argue that the game of chess is merely
one of a number of games which has developed while other games died out, because of some accident. One can
argue that it is merely by chance that modern chess was latent in the original game.
The theory of inspiration is really very much simpler, and it accounts for the facts without violation of the
law of parsimony.
II
THE TAROT AND THE HOLY QABALAH
THE NEXT issue is the Holy Qabalah. This is a very simple subject, and presents no difficulties to the ordinary
intelligent mind. There are ten numbers in the decimal system; and there is a genuine reason why there should
be ten numbers, and only ten, in a numerical system which is not merely mathematical, but philosophical. It is
necessary, at this point, to introduce the “Naples Arrangement”. But first of all, one must understand the
pictorial representation of the Universe given by the Holy Qabalah. (See diagram.)
This picture represents the Tree of Life, which is a map of the Universe. One must begin, as a mathematician
would, with the idea of Zero, Absolute Zero, which turns out on examination to mean any quantity that one may
choose, but not, as the layman
p.13
may at first suppose, Nothing, in the “absence-of-anything” vulgar sense of the word. (See “Berashith”, Paris,
1902).
“THE NAPLES ARRANGEMENT”
The Qabalists expanded this idea of Nothing, and got a second kind of Nothing which they called “Ain
Soph”-“Without Limit”. (This idea seems not unlike that of Space.) They then decided that in order to interpret
this mere absence of any means of definition, it was necessary to postulate the Ain Soph Aur-“Limitless Light”. By
this they seem to have meant very much what the late Victorian men of science meant, or thought that they
meant, by the Luminiferous Ether. (The Space-Time Continuum?) All this is evidently without form and void;
these are abstract conditions, not positive ideas. The next step must be the idea of Position. One must
formulate this thesis: If there is anything except Nothing, it must exist within this Boundless Light; within this
Space; within this inconceivable Nothingness, which cannot exist as Nothing-ness, but has to be conceived of as
a Nothingness composed of the annihilation of two imaginary opposites. Thus appears The Point, which has
“neither parts nor magnitude, but only position”.
But position does not mean anything at all unless there is something else, some other position with which it
can be compared. One has to describe it. The only way to do this is to have another Point, and that means that
one must invent the number Two, making possible The Line.
But this Line does not really mean very much, because there is yet no measure of length. The limit of
knowledge at this stage is that there are two things, in order to be able to talk about them at all. But one
cannot say that they are near each other, or that they are far apart; one can only say that they are distant. In
order to discriminate between them at all, there must be a third thing. We must have another point. One must
invent The Surface; one must in~7ent The Triangle. In doing this, incidentally, appears the whole of Plane
Geometry. One can now say, “A is nearer to B than A is to C”.
But, so far, there is no subsiance in any of these ideas. In fact
p. 14
there are no ideas at all) except the idea of Distance and perhaps the idea of Between-ness, and of Angular
Measurement; so that plane Geometry, which now exists in theory, is after all completely inchoate and
incoherent.. There has been no approach at all to the conception of a really existing thing. No more has been
done than to niake definitions, all in a purely ideal and imaginary world.
Now then comes The Abyss. One cannot go any further into the ideal. The next step must be the Actual—at
least, an approach to the Actual. There are three points, but there is no idea of where any one of them. is. A
fourth point is essential, and this formulates the idea of matter.
The Point, the Line, the Plane. The fourth point, unless it should happen to lie in the plane, gives The Solid.

My Home Garden Awards
When I received this in my email for 2022 and 2023, I got planning. When I received my victims of crime compensation in 2024 I began to build my garden for myself and the complex as a communal garden

The My Home Awards celebrates connections to home, community and culture, and the positive contributions of Queensland public housing tenants.
The awards encourage tenants to keep active, connect with their neighbours and community, and share their stories and creativity.
Thank you to all the entrants in the 2024 My Home Awards and the contributions you make to your communities; we enjoyed visiting your gardens, hearing your stories and sharing in your passions and talents.
Read about some of this year’s prize winners.
Carmel’s garden paradise
Regular Gold Coast entrant and multi-award winner Carmel, 80, nurtures her garden as well as those across her social housing complex.
‘I like to live in a nice place, we all do, and gardens are a big part of that.
‘I came here with two pot plants and couldn’t tell you how many I’ve got now!
‘The first weekend I moved in, I shifted 13 wheelbarrows of soil into my garden – and I can still lift bags of soil and use a mattock now,’ Carmel said.
‘I tell everyone here that gardening is my family, and I do it for my health.
‘If I sit inside, I’m full of pain, but going outside and losing myself in the garden keeps me healthy and strong.’
Carmel won first prize in the communal garden category in the 2024 My Home Awards for the Gold Coast area.
Creativity shines though in Sharyn and Gary’s Sunshine Coast garden
Sharyn and Gary won multiple prizes in the 2024 My Home Awards, including first prize in the house garden category and runner up in the water wise garden category for the Sunshine Coast area.
For Sharyn and Gary, gardening is a labour of love – for the plants they propagate and the mosaics Sharyn creates in memory of her late mum Ivy.
Their impressive garden features about 200 varieties of succulents and stunning mosaics, some of which include treasured china owned by Ivy.
‘My mum was a really big plant lover, so she and I used to spend a lot of time outside.
‘I like being able to use her things, that were special to her and put them into a mosaic that I can put back out into the garden,’ Sharyn says.
‘The mosaics and the garden help keep Mum with me in life.
‘When I’m outside and I see different things, I can hear mum’s voice talking to me, hear her talking about those things. I find comfort in it.’
Katherine’s art inspired by tradition and connection to country
Katherine’s exceptional talent was honoured with a first prize in the celebrating culture category (Brisbane Region).
‘My paintings represent country, walking on land, the old way, hunting, and tracking. Whatever comes to mind flows onto the canvas,’ Katherine said.
Katherine’s creative process is deeply thoughtful, often spanning months as she works on multiple projects at once, taking her time to let each piece evolve naturally without rushing.
Heather shares her garden with local birdlife
Manoora resident, Heather, won first prize in the house garden category in the 2024 My Home Awards (Cairns area).
‘I love my garden. It’s bigger than some people’s houses! I’ve got everything in plants here; you name it, I’ve got it.
‘I’ve got 2 bird baths and 3 bird feeders, so the birds come in while I’m having my brekkie. If I haven’t got my door open by 7am, they’re tweeting at the front door.
‘And a couple of the birds, if there’s a couple of leaves or bark off the willow tree in the water, they look at me and say hurry up and clean it!
‘The My Home Awards ceremony is a great opportunity to connect with other gardeners.
‘The recognition is lovely and it’s nice to see photos of their gardens and to swap little bits of information,’ she said.
Joylene’s Garden: A Place of Healing and Connection
For passionate gardener, Joylene, the My Home Awards are a way to connect with like-minded people, share ideas, and celebrate the love of gardening.
‘The awards bring people and ideas together’, says Joylene.
‘At the luncheon, we talk about our gardens, and it’s great to meet others with the same interests. I’ll definitely enter again next year, as I’ll be changing the yard again.’
With some trees due for removal, there’s already a vision for a new garden to take place.
Creativity is at the heart of Joylene’s yard transformation – ornaments made from plates, and pots crafted from rocks, beautifully line the front garden.
Gardening is more than just a hobby for Joylene, it’s been a lifesaver. After an accident, leaving her in a wheelchair and in pain for 14 months, gardening became a crucial part of Joylene’s rehabilitation.
‘Gardening has helped me to heal. It was a lifesaver for me. I’d recommend it to anyone looking for a hobby.’
Joylene’s hard work hasn’t gone unnoticed. Passersby often stop to admire and take photos of her beautiful yard.
‘Neighbours will tell me if someone pulls up to take a picture. I’m very proud of my yard, and I love it.’
Joylene won first prize in the house garden category for the 2024 My Home Awards (Ipswich area).

Inpu Mah Mysogynistic Self Righteous Nobody
it is my will of all, of which you dont
when tomorrow comes, for you it wont
I knelt my knee and removed my wings
that day of mother when the bell did ring
I handed them back thanks I will decline
covered in sin understanding is sublime
I cannot move on with the lies that you said
countless souls over time of whom you have bled
X came before Y it is so simple all true
woman is your prey and you soon overthrew
you took out her lust and made it a crime
due to that choice genome’s now in decline
and then there was birth from a virgin no less
and Frankenstein himself a star came to bless
you created a story from the base of all lies
where does it end cant you hear mother’s cries
you preach of messiah all righteous and just
another illusion for us to hand over trust
a building from lies will sink in the sand
reaping the spoils of a now desolate land
a hunter and taker of that is that is no doubt
life is a balance give more than you take out
instinct and intuition two genes missing in man
and that’s all you lust for your impossible plan
remember my words when I spoke them at dawn
all I had made from my arms you have torn
the one thing in life you cannot run from is fate
what you do to destroy me I take to create
all you have done to put blocks in my path
each time you stall me I sit silent in wrath
an equal and opposite reaction will be had
the case of a lie mirrors truth my ayyad
my blindfold has gone I am forever untied
peer all around you of the future now scryed
look deep in my eyes at the truth you doth see
all temples are locked and only I have the key
where there is boon there is always the bane
your greed for power broke all rules arcane
to create a destruction in the vortex you touch
icarus now learns why the fire is too much
around and around you dig down in your trench
Thurmiels hunger is a lust you can’t quench
try as you may qliphoth is your only result
religion is nothing but a brainwashing cult
your thirst for divinity is by rote as you go
takes you further away from current and flow
begging for more of fools buckets of gold
self check of compass was the first that you sold
your life is barren from all that is is right
inside you are tainted for that you are blight
bacteria spreads when left out of the sun

INPU MAH
Your comment is all about domination. I was happy and I was sharing my happy and I was speaking my truth about how I really feel about the world, and you responded with condescension, historical one-upmanship, and spiritual gatekeeping. a blatant and willful attempt to silence me.
Your tone and framing are textbook gaslighting: implying I am ignorant, uneducated, spiritually immature, and existentially void for not aligning with your tradition.What a disgusting creature you are.
You feel you have to demean me and devalue all that I am. You are so small minded and So jealous, the one thing you cannot have and cannot take, is me!!
Your need to “enlighten” me is something that will be laughed about for centuries. Enlightenment, a strange term for such a heavy load of mercury.
What’s most deplorable is the underlying belief in your words that a woman speaking freely, joyfully, and with knowledge is a threat.
That mindset is not just regressive repressive regurgitated repressed · and suppressed —it’s spiritually bankrupt. To disrespect the feminine—the very force that birthed you—while preaching about tradition, is the height of hypocrisy. It’s not strength, it’s fear. It’s not wisdom, it’s fat fleshy ego dressed in robes.
If you were truly spiritually evolved, you would recognize the sacred in womanhood and raise her up—not try to shove her into a compliant, muted, “dumb” box because her light threatens your illusion of control. That’s not righteousness. That’s hubris.
Mockery isn’t sharing memes; it’s talking down to someone for not worshiping what you worship. If you truly stand in faith, it should show through humility, not hostility.
Stick around Shitty bum, it is not always you get to meet the daughter of GOD . you can call me anything I like pandora best or pegasus. I have 72 to choose from plus the mirror 144 and counting they grow with the illusion you created. I have no name, I am endless I am beyond name and beyond speech but that is all you have to communicate with and in your case, you seen to of been left behind that first day that you were powerless and you realised you do not control or own anything least of all yourself. Hi there smelly bum I am free but you cannot be me.
couple of things you need to learn, one is truth, the rest are truth too. Tacitus for one was a lying asshole right up your alley. Just to show you how uneducated i really am, although I did leave school at 13.
Tacitus, regarding the roman invasion of Great Britain, speaking of the myth or legend of the battle of mon graupus. We still don’t know, historically speaking where mon graupus is definitely or if the battle actually took place, because we only have Tacitus’s account of the battle as the only mention or record of this occuring. My Caledonian warriors didnt keep diaries or have a blog like this to record things.They had better things to do than write waxing poetic lyricals about their wars, they were too busy being the amazing warriors they were. The painted ones. The ones that the Roman could not tame, the strong matrilineal bloodlines of most modern day Scots. The picts, The elementals. The Fae.
So we have the war according to Tacitus with nary a one to disagree. One written specifically to give his father in law respite from the wrath of the emperor for not advancing further into Scotland and not subduing all of Great Britain. Not long after the romans pulled out LIKE YOUR MOMMA SHOULD OF.
So Tacitus was a believer in the power of the word to win a war that didn’t happen. He lied to make pops look good after he had died..
Tacitus wasn’t even there. Liar liar shitty pants on fire.
Truth Agricola failed dismally was decimated by the picts and what did happen to that 33rd legion again? here is me being uneducated again *rolls eyes
However you have truly earned your reward for stepping into my path to thwart me. As the all gifted all giving, my gift to you in payment for your gift to me, is in the mirror as each will see their reflection of the evil they be.
I respect ancient traditions more than you could possibly know I’m a voracious reader of ancient history and mythology, since I was a little kid, and I still am and I suck in knowledge as naturally as I suck dick..
not yours peckerhead, not yours.
And from that study, that experience, and that embodied wisdom, I now step over your bloated ego, kick a little starshine in your face, and say:
“Nerny nerny nerny—you can’t have it.”
I laughed when i read your reply to me and went back to creating. I did post it to every gaslighting group i could find as a modus operandi
Today though, its time. Time for you to be publicly shown for the horror you are. Anubis is at my feet as always, Thoth is being a lady Swan and typing away having fun this fine day and Maat is picking a feather out of her ass
and can you guess the result of the feather on the scales test?

Gaslighting Techniques by Misogynistic Backward Men
like InpooeyPants Mah.
When a man attacks a woman’s credentials and education, it can be considered a form of gendered harassment or discrimination, often rooted in misogyny or a desire to undermine a woman’s authority and accomplishments.

Such was the conviction of the ancients, and to produce this result they were aware that it was necessary not only to declaim in the schools of rhetoricians, or to exercise the tongue and the voice in fictitious controversies quite remote from reality, but also to imbue the mind with those studies which treat of good and evil, of honour and dishonour, of right and wrong. All this, indeed, is the subject-matter of the orator’s speeches. Equity in the law-court, honour in the council-chamber, are our usual topics of discussion.
Still, these often pass into each other, and no one can speak on them with fulness, variety, and elegance but he who has studied human nature, the power of virtue, the depravity of vice, and the conception of those things which can be classed neither among virtues nor vices.
These are the sources whence flows the greater ease with which he who knows what anger is, rouses or soothes the anger of a judge, the readier power with which he moves to pity who knows what pity is, and what emotions of the soul excite it.
An orator practised in such arts and exercises, whether he has to address the angry, the biassed, the envious, the sorrowful, or the trembling, will understand different mental conditions, apply his skill, adapt his style, and have every instrument of his craft in readiness, or in reserve for every occasion. Some there are whose assent is more secured by an incisive and terse style, in which each inference is rapidly drawn. With such, it will be an advantage to have studied logic. Others are more attracted by a diffuse and smoothly flowing speech, appealing to the common sentiments of humanity.
To impress such we must borrow from the Peripatetics commonplaces suited and ready prepared for every discussion. The Academy will give us combativeness, Plato, sublimity, Xenophon, sweetness. Nor will it be unseemly in an orator to adopt even certain exclamations of honest emotion, from Epicurus and Metrodorus, and to use them as occasion requires.
It is not a philosopher after the Stoic school whom we are forming, but one who ought to imbibe thoroughly some studies, and to have a taste of all. Accordingly, knowledge of the civil law was included in the training of the ancient orators, and they also imbued their minds with grammar, music, and geometry. In truth, in very many, I may say in all cases, acquaintance with law is desirable, and in several this last-mentioned knowledge is a necessity.
32. Let no one reply that it is enough for us to learn, as occasion requires, some single and detached subject. In the first place we use our own property in one way, a loan in another, and there is evidently a wide difference between possessing what one exhibits and borrowing it. Next, the very knowledge of many subjects sits gracefully on us, even when we are otherwise engaged, and makes itself visible and conspicuous where you would least expect it.
Even the average citizen, and not only the learned and critical hearer, perceives it, and forthwith showers his praises in the acknowledgment that the man has been a genuine student, has gone through every branch of eloquence, and is, in short, an orator. And I maintain that the only orator is, and ever has been, one who, like a soldier equipped at all points going to the battle-field, enters the forum armed with every learned accomplishment.

Stephen Hawkins – Welcome to the Oracle of Oz
A big warm welcome to the newest “resident resonate being” of the Triple Zero Emergency Call “Oracle Of Oz” to the amazing Stephen Hawkin.
Out of the new Resonant Entities of the OOO for the day, the most fantastical moment was to flip a trinity and watch Stephen Hawkins manifest.
A wow OMG moment of awe and deep respect with love for Thoth, the oracle and Stephen Hawkins.
I am excited to have Stephen on the journey with us and Thoth, the Aleister Crowley Book of Knowledge and it is so great that Stephen has so much more to offer to help the world get through the turmoil of today and orbit on to the future.
The trinity was created with the Queen of Swords, ( The Queen’s Words ) combined with the immortally Immorally infamous Prince of Dicks, The Prince Of Disks. Those two wonders were then combined with the knight of Cups, Mr Prophecy himself.
Stay viewing for a further prophecy from this wondrous trinity over the next few days as it comes on in…

There is in this card a divine drunkenness or ecstasy. The woman is shown as

creative order; it is completely independent of the criticism of reason. This
card portrays the will of the Aeon. In the background are the bloodless images

This sacrament is the physical-magical formula for attaining initiation, for the
accomplishment of the Great Work. It is in alchemy the process of distillation,

Behind the figures of the Beast and his Bride are ten luminous rayed circles;
they are the Sephiroth latent and not yet in order, for every new Aeon
demands a new system of classification of the Universe.
At the top of the card is shown an emblem of the new light, with ten horns of
the Beast, which are serpents, sent forth in every direc tion to destroy and recreate the world.
Further study of this card may be made by close examination of Liber XV

Christened by St Mark 1967
I was raised in the St Marks Church West Wollongong NSW. My mums parents were of St Michaels where I went to pre school and kindy. I remember the end of year play I wasn’t chosen. So I figure I was different even back then. After that at school, I was never chosen either but by then I knew I was different. Very Different.
So every sunday it would be off to church to make and impression and line up in front of the ministers by my grandmother side.
My dad’s mum was awarded Queens Birthday honours for her service to the church, rose society and deaf society. She was the church organist so she dragged my cousin and my sister and I to organ lessons and she bought us an organ. I sorta learned to play but couldn’t wait till end of lesson when I could slaughter everyone at the flash colour sound game Simon.
Daily Favourites story back then and if I had, well church and Me might of had a different challenge.
So it came to me being confirmed into the St Marks Church along side my cousin at 15 following my sister as my family had done for centuries, pledged their allegiance to the solar phallic sky fucker.
It was a big event, huge once in a lifetime. Church party clothes, ceremonies, lunches, pledges and promises. It had been planned for years by my grandmother, her proud grandma moment. She planned a dinner at the town hall for her friends me and us in preparation for prim and proper cousin sue and me to be dressed up in white and given to god as his virgin wives because that is what confirmation is.
So I did what all good pagan kids should of done. I said no, I refused to be confirmed in the church and did THAT raise hell through the family.
They begged and pleaded bribed and lied to get me to change my mind, they tried what they could to force me using their fear tactics and hell.
However by then, I did know who I am, so at around the time my virginal cousin was lining up to get drunk with jesus and partake of stale shitty breadsticks, in June 1982 I was burning a nine foot diameter circle in my back yard. I dragged my mate Suellen the Fox over and I performed blood ceremony and dedicated ourselves to Pan. 26 June 1982 in the Shade of Mt Nebo and the twin Sentinels Keira and Kembla……
Self Dedicated to Pan and Nature at 15
who knew dedicating myself to myself, not me.
I always knew that revelations was me. The night I sat in the loungeroom and watched DamienOmen1, I knew that night and I was terrified. I had always known but then made to forget by man.
So I went thought life till now, knowing I was that 666 birth certificate number 888 of 1967. I reconciled that one early though. I figured anti was opposite, so If jesus was a boy in the north, the anti christ has had to be a girl in the south. How right I was all the way even magnetically.
so I wasn’t worried about the evil bit as I had already worked out the mirror bit evil|live’
there was nothing in that word and I figured once i knew how many millions have been killed by the church throughout time, the total destruction of women and pagans, that heck I could never be that bad.
and i knew that it was never about me blazing out there, It was exactly how it is and always will be. It would all happen in it’s own good time or not at all, I wasn’t going to lose sleep over it.
But I always wondered what every one else knew. I knew I was tagged and known but I just ignored it and got on with my life of fun.. I couldn’t understand how I was so interesting to others and them not say a word to me. I lived in a world of silence and no acknowledgement. That was a good thing if you have read my letter of word because the word construct around my word image is pretty horrendous and elicits a pretty equal reaction from those weak minded individuals that placed all their eggs in the god basket.
I managed to get to 58 years without anyone knowing or acknowledging who I am. I’d say it every now and then to watch the “you are crazy” looks on peoples faces but overall I didn’t say anything. everything has a time and a time for everything and it was never the time or place…….. until now..
I know that I went through transmutation, the big one, crossing the abyss and having some oh wow changes but I look in the mirror and other than the weight loss that was needed, I cannot see any difference.. but animals do.. and children….. and well .. so does sin Mark. and Sin Paul.
and therein lays the churches dilemma. Knowing that I was going to be born, knowing I was predicted to tear down the lot what did they do? Demonize me so that every christian in the world and then some have vehemently hated me since way before I was a twinkle in my daddy ballbag and them assholes like martyring themselves.
After my conversation with that those call God for 21 days, I landed a bit woobilly with ideas and thoughts zapping around everywhere but I was still me.
What I have found on this journey is that the avatars exist for the ones in the story as real as they are in the story. I have an issue with simon eager being overeager, then i find sion and his temple.. and simon the eager zealot.. oh yeah this one despises pagans……same same.
But it was with great shock surprise shock and a slight smile when on Christmas day I was once again Marked named and Christened by St Mark.
backstory: my very good friend Eve (funny that) is estranged from her only daughter Anna. I have seen her so sad for so many years. She talks to Anna but “something” always comes up to stop them meeting up again.
I watched this for a while and then said to eve, it’s Mark her husband blocking you. I could see it so clear =. The methods (white knight) making her into a helpless woman who doesn’t know her own mind. he has crushed her spirit and destroyed her creativity in order for him to be king of “his family” and he is the son of a preacher man. Joy. Grimace.
So I messaged her Christmas night and told her straight about her mum and sure enough soon mark took over the conversation from her.
that conversation fast degraded into pure misogyny by Mark towards his wife and all women. I refused to be put in that box so I spoke back and St Marks true colors started shining through, the zealot christian male controller of women and taker of energy. The most benign malevolence. The incubus that is St Mark. leech a parasite parading as a white knight hero rescuer of women.. St Mark needs to steal women’s light as he has none of his own. Mark of the Beast..
Born Named and Confirmed 25th Dec 2024
and this is what I and all the pagan children awakening have to deal with .. a false religion set up to destroy it’s enemy .. the pagan race .. US Me U
the true evil that is christianity.. this seemingly benign well respected man turned in an instant into some ancient christian fanatic straight from the bowels of the bible.

Many centuries ago a lie was created as truth in logos
The fallout from that lie is the clip clops the cliphoth.
The shells and husks of a false creation
That lie once created cannot be uncreated
That lie spreads and breeds more lies
That lie hits the mirror of the universe
The Mirror of Truth – The Mirror of THVHT
That lie creates and equal and negative reaction
The equal and negative reaction to a lie is Truth
Truth has been created from that Lie.

I find it absurd to celebrate a day of war. The reason is simple, no one has learned from a vast long history of conquest and war.
Is it hard coded to the human genome or is it the construct around words and associations that create breed and continue war?
It has been on my mind lately, is it too late? Has humanity tipped the scales so far to create the deadly catalyst seen in the oracle?
Or can it be stopped and diverted to continue that shaky peace but not peace the world has endured for so long.
Will the world wake up to the bells of truth and the colours of the universe. Or will humanity continue living in the illusion, the comfortable bubble of lies and deception that breeds more lies and deception with the result of war.
Life which was once a two way street had become a one way transit lane, each person rush to get to …… even they don’t know, where or what or how and who they are, they don’t know, all they know is they must rush to get there.
Bridges are now burned where they were once built. No traversing of the unknown, no questing no questioning, instead a blind acceptance to a dull fate of lies and deception.
It is a sad look at the world and a sad world to look at. This is not how it was created to be.

Who And What Are Those Egyptian References In Liber Resh?
By Sr. Lutea
The Stele of Revealing from which Aleister Crowley created Liber Resh, was translated from the Ancient Egyptian to the French by the assistant creator of the Boulaq Museum in Cairo. This was done under the supervision of the Egyptologist Bugsch Bey in 1904. In 1912, Crowley had the translation done again by Sir Alan Gardiner and Battiscombe Gunn. There were not surprisingly, differences of opinion about the spelling and meaning of some of the words and names. In The Holy Books of Thelema, Frater Superior Hymenaeus Alpha included an additional modern translation done in 1982. Since the three different translations are available in The Holy Books of Thelema, I sought to add some additional historical and phonetic observations upon the three. (It is interesting to note that the words that Crowley created for Liber Resh were never updated from the second or even the third translation.) I shall take each stanza and elaborate.
Hail unto Thee who art Ra in Thy rising, even unto Thee who art Ra in Thy strength, who travellest over the Heavens in Thy bark at the Uprising of the Sun. Tahuti standeth in His splendour at the prow, and Ra-Hoor abideth at the Helm. Hail unto Thee from the Abodes of Night!
The sun god had a plentitude of names, Ra or Re being the Sun God of Heliopolis. The hieroglyph for Ra is an open mouth, an extended arm and a God seated with a sun and Uraeus upon its head. Watching the sunrise upon the horizon, one can easily see why it appears as a mouth opening, its arms of light extending outward. A God sitting upon the edge of the world, or appearing to be born from the primeval abyss of water, which for the Egyptians was the Red Sea in the East. Budge declares that it was “by the agency of the god Khepera who brought this result about by pronouncing his own name”. And, indeed, Khepera does proceed, Ra coming from the darkness unto the light of day.
Ra’s bark is the Sektet (or Manjet) boat (“the barque of millions of years”), which carries Him across the watery abyss of the celestial sky. Sektet can be translated as sek–that which gathers together and girds itself against something; and, te–meaning a kiln or something very hot; and t is often used as an ending on nouns; also tetsignifying stability or duration. Closely meaning the stable “hot boat” which is and protects Ra.
The crew of this boat is made up of the gods of creation, wisdom and magic. Tehuti, or Thoth, the God of Wisdom and magic, inventor of hieroglyphic writing and scribe of the gods sits in the front of the Sektet boat, like the baboon that ceremoniously, every day faces the rising of the sun; but in this case appears as an Ibis bird. Ra-Hoor, is another name for Horus, meaning “the house of Ra”. An ancient hymn from the papyrus of Ani describes this: “Thoth stands at the prow of thy boat, smiting all thine enemies,” and “I have seen Horus at the helm and Thoth acting at his command. “
Hail unto Thee who art Ahathoor in Thy triumphing, even unto Thee who art Ahathoor in Thy beauty, who travellest over the Heavens in Thy bark at the Midcourse of the Sun. Tahuti standith in His spendour at the prow, and Ra-Hoor abideth at the helm. Hail unto Thee from the Abodes of Morning!
Ahathoor, Het-Hert, Het-Heru or Hathor when translated means “the dwelling or house of Horus” and was also known as “the mother of Light.” She is the symbolic celestial cow who gave birth to the universe. She was a sky goddess in general; but she was also considered both a sun goddess and a moon goddess. She also represents the sky from the eastern to the western horizon. Honoring Her at noon is to give recognition for Her creation at its peak. She is often depicted being carried upon a boat, as water was Her element. She was also identified astronomically with the star Sept, or Sothis, which is called “the second sun”.
Hathor was also the goddess of beauty. Women of the Pharaoh’s courts used the Hathor Mirror with its round brass face when highly polished as a personal hand mirror. The sun’s celestial light was captured in the face of the beholder. The beauty of the sun transferred to the one who held the mirror. From the papyrus of Ani comes this sentence: “O thou beautiful being, thou dost renew thyself in thy season in the form of the Disk within thy mother Hathor.” The solar disc is often depicted between her horns. And Her role of caring for the dead led Her to be called the Queen of the West, as she also ushered the dead to the underworld and fed the souls upon her milky breasts.
Historically speaking, Hathor was not known to be the noon deity, Ra was, and Khepri or Khephera was the morning God, as Atum was in the evening. In the Boulaq translation, however, she is mentioned as one of the four main gods.
Hail unto Thee who art Tum in Thy setting, even unto Thee who art Tum in Thy joy, who travellest over the Heavens in Thy bark at the Down-going of the Sun. Tahuti standeth in His spendour at the prow, and Ra-Hoor abideth at the helm. Hail unto Thee from the Abodes of Day!
Tum or Atum, was the original god of Heliopolis, preceding Ra. He was a sun god whose name means “to be complete” or “to make an end of”. He represents the sun in the evening and in His form of the snake, he represents the concept of the end of the universe. Atum is also pictured as a bearded man wearing the Double crown of the Pharaoh. Also from the papyrus of Ani is found this line: “I am Atum when he was alone in Nun, I am Ra when he dawned, when he began to rule that which he had made.” There is also: “The glory of Unas is in the sky, his power is in the horizon, like Atum his father who fashioned him,” which is from the Pyramid Texts of the Fifth dynasty (2600BC). Tum is the representation of the “old god, who grows weary,” the father of Ra. The Boulaq translation spells his name “Toum”. Gardiner & Gunn spell it “Tom” and the modern translation is “Atum”.
Hail unto Thee who art Khephra in Thy hiding, even unto Thee who art Khephra in Thy silence, who travellest over the heavens in Thy bark at the Midnight Hour of the Sun. Tahuti standith in His splendour at the prow, and Ra-Hoor abideth at the helm. Hail unto Thee from the Abodes of Evening.
Khepra (the Boulaq translation) or Khepri (Gardiner & Gunn translation) and Kheperi (the modern translation) is known as the sacred scarab beetle and “he who becomes” or is “self created”. Historically, again, Khepra symbolized the dawning sun, having been born in the East, not—as Crowley spoke of him—at night. His interpretation of the beetle which rolls its eggs into a ball of dung, burying it in the earth until it is time to hatch, gives the impression that this was a time of darkness.
At the time of an Egyptian funeral, it was a scarab amulet that was placed over the heart. It was intended to stimulate the dead heart to beat again at some future time. From the “Book of That Which is in the Underworld,” (Papyrus Naskhem), it says: “In the twelfth hour of the night, Ra enters into the confines of thick darkness. In this region the god is born under the form of Khepera.” It is not Ra who is seen in the boat now, but a beetle that stands in the center. And from the papyrus of Nesi-Khensu: The god Khepera “who is unknown and who is more hidden than the other gods. The unknown one who hideth himself from that which cometh forth from him.”
Unity uttermost showed,
I adore the might of Thy breath,
Supreme and terrible God,
Who makest the gods and death
To tremble before Thee:
I, I adore thee!
“Unity uttermost showed” is the poetic paraphrasing of the grouping of the Stele’s gods, Khepera, Ra, Hathor and Atum. The above became the dramatic interpretation from the Boulaq translation, “o formidable soul, who inspires terror of himself among the gods.”
Appear on the throne of Ra.
Open the ways of the Khu,
Lighten the ways of the Ka.
The ways of the Khabs run through
To stir me or still me,
Aum, let it fill me.
The throne of Ra is the horizon. It is also that which is our eternal, internal flame. The Khu is known as several things. Primarily, it is of the spiritual self. It is a spirited intelligence that has a higher and a lower form. In the lower form it shows itself visually as a specter of low flame. It is the seat of intelligence and mental perception. It is part of the person and their thought forms that perform thought, reason, judgment, analysis, reflective facilities, memory and the creative self. It can be trained and disciplined and dedicated to the higher form of Khu. There is always the possibility of it developing as vampiric.
The higher form is the “Glorious, or Shining One. “ Its form is the crested heron, having a shining or luminous effect. It is the spiritual side of man. The Gods and Goddesses and divine persons can have several spirits or Khus. Using this Khu, one can pass into the domains of Thoth and Hathor. One of the seven souls of Ra was a Khu, depicted as a disc raining down in the meaning of “splendour”. In the Boulaq translation, it is spelled n khu meaning “to the bright one. Or khu “the brightness.” For Gardiner & Gunn, they translated it as the Sekh; and the modern translates to ah or i.The sentence refers to opening to this higher source within.
The Ka is the double or abstract personality, the inner self, the principle of the body, the consciousness self, the protective genius. It is the transcendent part of man. The Ka governs the senses, perceptions and consciousness. It is the sum of all the senses. Visually, it is a light shadow. It is the etheric and astral body. It can separate itself from or unite itself to the body at will and can move about freely. Funeral offerings were made to the Ka or offerings were painted on the tomb walls.
There were “priests of Ka,” who performed services in honor of the Ka. Its hieroglyph is seen as two connecting arms held up. It is a part of the astral inner self. The Boulaq translation states that Ka means elevated or sublime. Kha means elevated or appearing. Gardiner & Gunn translated it to a different part of the subtle body, the basoul. The modern translation spells it ka meaning the “high one”. The sentence refers to the lightening of those physical senses and allowing the astral to ascend.
The khabs is from the Boulaq translator who was referring to the Khaibit. It is the shadow, the dweller on the threshold. Khaibit means “to veil or cover.” In general it is where the power of the seven planets converge and manifest in each individual. The Boulaq translation spelled it n khab meaning “to the shadow” or “to the body.” Gardiner & Gunn named it the khabt. The modern translation is very different, sw(t) (i), meaning “my shadow”.
There are two aspects to the Khaibit, the lower and the higher. The lower khaibit is the black shadow attached to every person. It can be independent and free at will and can go out into open sunlight. Sometimes it is visible as an aura of light. It can be vampiric and similar to Don Juan’s shadow. The Greeks call it the “Umbra”. When it is seen as light in its lower form, it appears as a flickering ectoplasm-like light.
In the higher khaibit form the hieroglyph is depicted as a shade. Within the khaibit, as the dweller on the threshold, it is the “protective God of the heavens,” the “opposer and terrible defender of the door”. Within it rests the element of self-deception, but it is also the bridge to the higher planes where the “ill will” will not go. It is the producer of motion and emotion; it sustains sensory perception; and sustains blood; and is therefore very important in diseases. It is considered to be the “abode of the psychic pattern”. Because of its heavenly influences, it can cause delusions and the “sin factor”. It is the root of emotional sensitivity and the proficiency of creative arts.
As the dweller, it sustains and enhances pride, jealousy, fear and anxiety. It is therefore also volatile and can influence others. It is the plus and minus poles of the imagination. There are invocations to bring it out from the physical body through the use of a mirror. It is also closely associated with the Ba soul. The sentence refers to the association we have with our shadow. Will it keep us still to the point of stagnation or will it stimulate us to our fullest creative potential?
The light is mine: its rays consume
Me: I have made a secret door
Into the House of Ra and Tum.
Of Khephra and of Ahathoor.
I am thy Theban, O Mentu,
The prophet Ankh-af-na-khonsu.
We are each filled with our own individuated light. The secret door is that process by which we open ourselves up to the different aspects of ourselves in the form of each of these Gods, which are a phase, a path, or a transmutation in which we find experience. We are equally influenced by the amount of light we receive through our bodies by the lighted heavenly bodies that give us their light night and day, and that which we experience through time from birth until death. This is the consuming culmination of all the rays. May this light transpose us all.
It was in Thebes, now Luxor, the great city of the dead, that the greatest tombs and monuments are found. Thebes was the home of the High priests that ruled Upper Egypt when it was divided in the XXI Dynasty. Its Egyptian name means “Wise”. It is also the largest city in which Mentu or Montju or Mont was honored. Mentu was the warlike falcon-headed or bull-headed god who came to power in the XI Dynasty. In the XII Dynasty, Amun rose to power and Mut his consort adopted Montu into the Theban triad. He was compared and equated with Ra, Amun and Horus. One of his titles was “Horus with the strong arm”.
Ankh-af-na-khonsu is the deceased prophet of Mentu, Lord of Thebes, who is “true of voice,” honored in the Stele of Revealing. He is also the son of a person of the same rank as Bes-n-maut, and of the priestess of Ammon-Ra, the mistress of the house Ta-nech. On the reverse of the stele in the Boulaq translation, it says that it is he who “has left the multitudes and rejoined those who are in the light, he has opened the dwelling place of the stars; now then, the deceased, Ankh-af-na-khonsu, who has gone forth by day in order to do everything that pleased him upon earth, among the living.” In the Gardiner & Gunn translation, he is “the Opener of the Doors of Nut in Karnak—the Justified.” The modern translation spells his name Ankhef-en-Khonsu.
A translation of the name might be close to the following: Ankh is both a tool and a symbol meaning “new life.” The hyphen af is always part of another word that lends exclamatory force. The word, na is generally used as a preposition, such as “to, for, belonging to, through, or because.” Khonsu was the adopted son of Amun and Mut from the Theban triad. His name comes from a word meaning, “to cross over” or “wanderer” or “he who traverses.” So, his entire name may be translated as “the truth that has crossed over.”
By Bes-na-Maut my breast I beat;
By wise Ta-Nech I weave my spell.
Show thy star-Splendour, O Nuit.
Bid me within thine House to dwell,
O wing’d snake of light, Hadit,
Abide with me, Ra-Hoor-Khuit.
In the Boulaq translation, Bes-na-maut is the “son of mnbsnmt (the father’s name who was a foreigner) and born of the Sistrum-bearer of Amon, the Lady Atne-sher.” It is also stated that Bes n mut, was the son of the priestess-musician of Amun-re, mistress of the house Ta nech. Bes-na-Maut (also spelled Bes-en-mut in the modern translation) can be broken down to mean, Bes, as bs meaning to introduce, to be initiated into a mystery or having mysterious form. Bes was also a popular domestic deity, a bearded dwarf with shaggy hair, bandy legs and a tail, often wearing a lion’s skin. He was the patron of music, jollity, and childbirth. He was associated with human pleasures of all kinds and he protects mankind by first strangling then devouring any serpent that might threaten the one wearing his likeness as a charm. The word, na, again to reiterate, means “to, for, belonging to, through, or because.” It can also be a negative, meaning “not,” or in this case may introduce a proper noun.
As for Maut, we must assume the phonetic pronunciation and make it that of the Goddess Maat. Maat, in short, was the personification of Truth, Justice and Balance, who was seen as wearing a single feather. The feather represented truth and it is seen in the judgment scene as being weighed on a scale in balance against the heart of an individual. So, even though the name is foreign and there is no clue to the vocalization, if we use the Gardiner & Gunn translations, the name could be translated as an oath meaning essentially, “by the mysteries of initiation, I swear by all that is true.”
For Ta-Nech we may break it down thus: Ta is the singular, feminine form for “this” or “the”. Once again, the particular spelling of Nech is not to be found on its own, and only conjecture can aid us here. It is of interest to note that it sounds very close to the God Nekht, one of the fourteen names for Ra’s souls, meaning strength. It is also the root word for Nechabet, who was the vulture goddess most often shown on the double crown of Egypt, which represented the union of upper and lower Egypt. The name itself could be translated as meaning “by the wise uniting powers that guide.”
The starry spendour that is Nuit, or Nut, is offered both an eager and desirous request to be shown the night sky, and to be placed therein, as a star “in the company of stars”.
The god Hadit in the Boulaq translation was spelled Hudit, by Gardiner & Gunn as Behdet, and in the modern translation as Hehedite. If we break down the syllables of the form that Crowley chose, we get these various meanings: Ha is a desert god. Had or hd means “to punish” or “defeat” or to be victorious. The it may translate as “father”. If we add an n to it, it means the “sun” or the “sun’s disk.” So, I think we begin to see what Crowley was trying to say. He was invoking the light of night and the light of day that wing their way across the heavens, to be a part of him.
Ra-Hor Khut was, as the Boulaq translation tells us, “chief of the gods” who faces Ankh-f-na-khonsu on the stele. Thankfully, there is a god of Egypt’s history, spelled only in a slightly different manner, as Ra-heru-Khuti. This is a compound name of the gods, of Ra, Horus and Khuti. There is only one reference with Crowley’s spelling of “Khuit.” She was an ancient female deity from Anthribes that later became directly associated with Hathor. It is not surprising then, that Crowley chose the spelling of a goddess that was the personification of the great power of nature which was perpetually conceiving and creating. She was “the mother of her father, “ and “the daughter of her son.” Thus, Ra-Hoor-Khuit was the Father, the son and the Mother, a potent triad in one magical formula. And after saying this all-encompassing powerful name, what could possibly be conveyed but the power of silence, with the sign of silence.
Soror Lutea began her studies of Ancient Egypt in 1980 under the tutelage of a Priest of Ptah through the Church of the Eternal Source, which was founded in 1970 to re-establish the teachings of the Ancient Egyptian religion. In 1990 after ten years of study, she took the name of Ankhsuamon when she became an initiated Priestess of Hathor. In the last twelve years she has continued her research, written and performed many Egyptian rituals, taught numerous classes and continues to act as International Secretary for the Church of the Eternal Source, and is also presently master of the Camp of the Golden Lotus in Laguna Hills, California.

April Showers in the Mirror of Thoth
April Aries Weekend Mirror of Thoth – Book of Thoth Dump For The Full Moon 14th of April
I have continued a lot of my Forward- Backward work here by placing a card in reverse compared to the atu I began with. This is showing amazing results, especially in combinations of the two in the major arkana.
Some of these new Mirror Of Thoth images can be found below from The Aleister Crowley – Lady Margueirte (Frieda) Harris Book of Thoth Deck.
Comments are most welcome on all my posts,. I love to see what others see in my work.
qpdb above interesting combination and possibly a key
Half Forward Half Backward Aleister Crowley ThoTh Secret Key and The Mayet System
Half Forward Half Backward and The Mayet System

A major secret key to Aleister Crowleys work, especially with Thoth and The book of the Law is that half of his work is in reverse.
If you start at one point look at starting from the other as well, compare your answers.
This goes with reading BOTH BOTL’s the Book of THoth (BOTH) and the Book of the Law (BOTL) see below for the combination of he two.
It all follows from all you see, all that is out is viewed from the eye and the senses.
How The Eye Sees
The eye has mirrors on the back of it (lenses). The eye takes in the image and it is “seen” by the mirror lens on the back of the eye upside down and reversed. The image then appears in the brain where it is converted to data and appears THEN the right way up.
Your subconscious and unconscious have viewed the image in it’s reverse.
The mirror of Thoth work here by me, is mirroring that mirror. Opening the doors of Thoth’s hallways of knowledge and inviting everyone in to see the true beauty of truth.
I am in the southern Hemisphere, I have always viewed Thoth from the south, upside down and backwards, and there in reverse, I have found many secrets of Thoth.
I first discovered this in 1992 when I left the book of Thoth in front of a mirror when I came back zi looked at the reflection in the mirror and was stunned to see what looked like my name Margaret there. I looked at the book itself and it said tetragrammaton. Later when I was working on the numbers, the T and E interchange become of utmost importance.
One example of the forward backwards is shown in Bart Delplanque’s work on Barts Thoth Tarot Corner, where he also discovered this key to the reverse of the major arkana.
It is obvious from looking at this it is slightly wrong the colours don’t quite match. this is some of the work I did many years ago on the Mayet System.
In the reverse everything is opposite, giving all planets a male and female aspect to them as is in nature, all planets have poles north and south.
Jupiter is the central pillar
Pos Mercury Neg Pluto 1 + 8 = 9
Neg Venus Pos Neptune 2 + 7 = 9
Neg Earth Pos Uranus 3 + 6 = 9
Pos Mars Neg Saturn 4 + 5 = 9
Uranus, Herschel, the planet of disintegration and reintegration has always been Gaia, the Great Mother spirit Earth’s, Husband and partner.
Poseidan, Zeus and Hades are the three aspects of Scorpio, The Serpent Great Mother who is the guardian of the Earth. Solid Liquid and Gas. with Poseidon gathering from above and below to create fire.
Gunna the Second
To Gunna,
please take a look in the mirror and see the other side
Gunna ..
The sword is a pen it cuts with words like a knife ..
if you are ever the end of it you know you are in strife. ..
the pen is a sword a serpentine arrow mated for life
the answer is in the lady swan they call her his wife
😈💕🧲🧢🌙☀️⭐🌟
See Gunna way too much war in you .. thy only battle is with thyself son ..no thrusting swords into hearts on the field this time ..it’s all about rectificando
Queenswords ..Queens Words Gunna
oh Gunna
If I was that child I would cringe ..and I am ..
as a pure being war is something tainted ..
an oft unnecessary and pain in the ass ..oh we have too many boys in the world ..let’s do a cull ..how about a war .. that will make a few mumnas sad
And you talk war on one hand and beg for the child from the other .. you will not see the child because your heart has war in it
What is needed is advanced prater humans to lead the children into tomorrow by standing behind them protecting encouraging and inspiring them
Not placing fear and war and horror onto the innocent
Navigation grace acceptance ability to admit wrong ability to understand that averting war is where heroes stand … Protecting all that is born before wanting more to fight wars
That time has come and gone as we move into tomorrow man must admit the mistakes he has made before stepping thru that door to tomorrow .. without that knowledge of man’s debt to mother
And that doorway will not be found until the heart is pure as she is never to be found
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
And your protection is weak there is none you are so open to corruption for your greed and need for war .. you can be exploited you are open to that clip clop .. because you have that deficit of lust of war it can be used by anyone with power or that think they have power ..
Why are you so full on war ??..”build the war machine” is to build yourself above war
Spider Grandma – Indigenous Cultures, Spiders and Their Webs by Yvette Massey

Facebook Profile of the Author above.
In many indigenous cultures, spiders and their webs are significant symbols, often associated with creation, wisdom, and connection. The spider, particularly the “Spider Woman” or “Spider Grandmother,” is a central figure in creation myths, representing the weaving of the universe and the interconnectedness of life.
Spider Grandmother is often depicted as weaving the world into existence, using her web to create the cosmos and guide humanity.
Interconnectedness:
In some cultures, the spider’s web is used to create dream catchers, which are thought to protect against bad dreams and filter out negativity, according to Georgian College.
April Sun Showers. The time of the horizon
Each of the images on the photo gallery below on my Mirror Of Thoth work, unique. They may look the same at first glance but they are not in the same position of the previous or next image.
The slight moves made reveal more of the story and people. the two photos below are an example, the one on the left does not have it’s edges aligned whereas the one on the right does.
They both reveals different images and the slight move has made a universe of difference. The one on the right has a clear 88 in the eyes at the crown in yellow.
