Her lifetime spanned . . . three Aeons in the Crowleyan sense
What do you mean here by "three Aeons in the Crowleyan sense"?
He means that her lifetime began 58 days before the end of the Aeon of Osiris, and included the entire 116 years of the Aeon of Horus, and ended 58 days after the reception by The New Seer of the new Word, or whatever, that began the New Aeon of Ma, the one that began in November of last year. So, she lived in three Aeons.
So, she lived in three Aeons
In threefold31's sense, yes, I'm aware of that. However, surely not in the "Crowleyan sense", since Crowley – certainly in his later years – expected the Aeon of Horus to endure for more than 2,000 years. Whether or not Crowley was right in this, that's how the "Crowleyan sense" has it.
that's how the "Crowleyan sense" has it.
This is true.
Depending on the Crowley sense one subscribes to.
From Ankh to the Cairo Hotel was ~2400 years.
(Science says 1/12 of 26,000 (years) = 2167)
O.M. says 2,000 years. This is the kindergarten explanation that you refer to, and it is undoubtedly the most popular.
The undoubtable explanation is doubted by the doubters who cite AC writing that an Aeon can be short or long as "time is not here as there" (or "there as here," I get them confused).
So 3x31 obviously subscribes to this last definition, which not only moves the goal posts, but hides them out of sight, and so we have this thread.
I know enough Astro to build a chart from scratch. Well, i did back in the days before computers. The Aeon-Astro duplex doesn't work well from an overhead view (of history). But it works pretty good if you're in 1904.
I personally subscribe to the flexible time-frame, because it is unfortunate when the traveler gets stuck in someone else's rut, but I was always under the impression that an Aeon had to be fulfilled before the Seat in the East got cold for a moment as the Hierophants played musical Seats.
I respect The Legend of Horus and Set and the rest of the Royal Family. There are several versions. Did Horus really have such a short childhood? Only 118 years? Setting the metaphors aside, our civilization is certainly a battleground between the Individual and the King (any Establishment gov).
All of the versions of the Legend end the same: Neither side wins. Eternal, ongoing conflict; every morn and every sundown.
Well, there is one version that does not promote ongoing conflict. Set backs off into a hole in the ground. Horus turns himself into a pole stuck in the ground next to the hole (for eternal vigilance). We haven't reached that point yet. The sun still rises and Sets (Set wins in the showdown at the Sunset Corral) (Horus wins every morning).
I'd say this thing can get to be very subjective.
In threefold31's sense, yes, I'm aware of that. However, surely not in the "Crowleyan sense", since Crowley – certainly in his later years – expected the Aeon of Horus to endure for more than 2,000 years. Whether or not Crowley was right in this, that's how the "Crowleyan sense" has it.

What I meant was that this woman definitely lived before the Aeon of Horus, and died in the Aeon of MA. There is certainly ambiguity here, derived from AC's changing perspective on 'aeons' and their length.
AC also said the Aeon of Horus might last 100 years or 10,000:
Old Comment on verse 3:34
"Following him (Horus) will arise the Equinox of Ma, the Goddess of Justice, it may be a hundred or ten thousand years from now; for the Computation of Time is not here as There. "
Where the mix-up occurs is concluding from his later writings that an Aeon is equivalent in time to an astrological Age. Now this is curious because there are only 4 officers in the GD Equinox ritual; if each of their rotations of position equated with an astrological Age, then they would have to go through the ritual cycle three times to complete the circuit of twelve signs.
My own view is more synthetic. I think the Aeons of Isis-Osiris-Horus were completed by an Aeon of Ma'at, who is the daughter of Ra, whose throne she assumes after it is vacated by RHK. She brings the Balance that harmonizes all three of those Aeons. This is evidenced by the fact that Liber MA is spoken in the words of the Theban Triad, which is a Family, unlike Liber AL.
Ma'at is the fourth personage as Initiator, so that the cycle is Mother-Father-Son-Daughter. But on another level, the Aeons of Mother and Father and Child give way to an Aeon of the whole Family combined. As Carl Jung would have it, any quaternity always has a fourth member that is related to all of the other three.
This sense of Balance is also achieved, in my view, by the fact that the beginning of the Aeon of MA coincides with the beginning of the astrological Age of Aquarius. There is much dispute as to when this Age begins, with claims ranging from the 20th to the 24th century:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Age_of_Aquarius
There are number of current astrologers who feel that the Aquarian Age began with the Great Conjunction of Saturn and Jupiter in the 0 degree of Aquarius on December 21, 2012. And as I showed in another thread, calculating the beginning of the Aeon of Ma'at using the names of Isis-Osiris-Horus-Chronos, along with the Golden Ratio, results in a time that is a mere 28 minutes from the solstice point on that day. The Great Conjunction took place within hours of this point, which is awfully exact considering the Age of Pisces lasted ~2148 years.
So it may be that the Aeons as AC understood them have finally synced up with the astrological Age.
If we were to assume that they were always coincident, then what Age did the Aeon of Horus line up with? It was certainly too early to be considered the Age of Aquarius, but if one insists on stretching it to fit, then the previous Age was ~2148 years before, which would be ca. 245 BCE, and frankly, not a lot was happening in that era other than the usual wars and political intrigue.
If, instead, we see the Aeon of Horus as the precursor to the next Age, rather than its beginning, then the model makes more sense. If the Aquarian Age began in 2020, that puts the beginning of the previous Age at ca. 129 BCE, when Hipparchus published his star catalog:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/129_BC
This event is directly connected with astrological Ages, since Hipparchus is credited with 'discovering' the Precession of the Equinoxes, which is what causes the Ages in the first place.
And note the New Comment on the same verse 3:34 (emphasis mine)
"Note the close connexion between Leo and Libra in the Tarot, the numbers VIII and XI of their Trumps being interchanged with XI and VIII. There is no such violent antithesis as that between Osiris and Horus; Strength will prepare the Reign of Justice. We should begin already, as I deem, to regard this Justice as the Ideal whose Way we should make ready, by virtue of our Force and Fire. "
That Way has been made ready, and the Aeon of MA has begun.

Yes, AC had (in one version) the Aeon of Osiris commencing with the expansion of the Roman Empire, rounding it off to end in 1904, which means it began in 96 BC, if an Aeon is 2000 years.
Anyway, I wanted to verify the Stele date, so as to clock the length of an Aeon as measured from Ankh's death, which was very close to the initiation of the Aeon of Osiris ... according to Across the Gulf, the Cairo Museum, Aleister Crowley, and the Incredible Circa- Averaging- Method of mine.
Although many thingd equal other things, ~2579 does not come very close to 2000.

This number 2579 is actually very interesting from the standpoint of Precession. We know that the Egyptians used (if not invented) the Decans of the zodiac, which are 36 divisions of 10 degrees of the circle. But if we flip that and look for 10 divisions of 36 degrees, we come to the vicinity of Ankh-af-na-khonsu.
The currently established rate of precession is 5,028.796195 arc-seconds per Julian Century, (i.e. 36,525 days). 1 degree is equal to 3600 arc-seconds; therefore 36 degrees is equal to 129600 arc-seconds. How long would it take to precess this distance?
129600 / 5,028.796195 = 25.77157534 Julian centuries.
So 2577 years and a couple months would be the time span for the Equinox point to precess backwards 36 degrees of the zodiac. Starting from 1904 (and remember there is no Year 0), that would put us at 674 BCE.
Since precession is backwards against the zodiac, you have to reverse this and go forward to see where the Equinox point was in 674 BC. According to the Fagan-Bradley ayanamasa, the Equinoctial Point was at 6 Pisces 37 in 1904. Moving this forward puts it at 12 Aries 37.
This position is very close to the location of the star Hamal at 12 Aries 55. Indeed, this star is recognized as an “Equinox Star” from ca. 2500 years ago:
https://earthsky.org/brightest-stars/hamal-ancient-equinox-star/
Hamal is “a yellow star situated in the forehead of the Ram and commonly known as the ram’s Following Horn”. The traditional name Hamal derives from the Arabic راس الحمل (rās al-ħamal) which means head of the ram.
History of the star: A Babylonian title from cuneiform inscriptions has it as Dil-kar, the Proclaimer of the Dawn, As-kar, and others Dil-gan, the Messenger of Light. It also was Anuv, and had its constellation's titles I-ku and I-ku-u,- the Prince, or the Leading One, the Ram that led the heavenly flock. Of the Grecian temples at least eight, at various places and of dates ranging from 1580 to 360 BCE were oriented to this star; those of Zeus and his daughter Athene being especially thus favored, as Aries was this god's symbol in the sky.”
http://www.astroweb.cz/doc/clanky/fixed_stars.pdf
The difference between 12 Aries 37 and 12 Aries 55 is only 18 arc-seconds. This amount of space takes only about 130 days to precess, so it doesn’t really change the calculation of ~674 BCE.
The takeaway from this is that at the time of the death of Ankh-af-na-khonsu, Hamal was the Equinox Star, aligning with the Vernal Equinox point in March in the northern hemisphere. About 2577 years later, when one-tenth of the zodiac had been covered by Precession, his burial stele was seen by Rose Crowley and the Cairo Working was initiated.
The implications of this are actually rather important. Instead of concerning ourselves with the ‘zero point of Aries’ as the beginning of the zodiac sign, where there is no significant star from which to measure, it makes more sense, especially for a stellar cult, to use a fiduciary star. In this case, that star is Hamal And dividing the zodiac into ten parts goes back to ancient Mesopotamia:
“Brown associates it (Hamal) with Aloros, the first of the ten mythical kings of Akkad anterior to the Deluge, the duration of whose reigns proportionately coincided with the distances apart of the ten chief ecliptic stars beginning with Hamal…”
Now Hamal is the Horn of Aries the Ram, and this same horn is used to symbolize Zeus-Ammōn, making yet another connection between Liber AL and the concealed god Amun.

Not in number-counting as we cross the Osirian Equator of the early 26th dynasty. In mundane numerology (1-9), when figuring dates, one is advised to "Add one" (+1). But when going back further, it would be "Add two" (=@). But in this case, with an artifact guessed at "somewhere around" a ten-year range, one has plenty of room to just add 'em up as-is.
25.77157534 Julian centuries.
Yes, this is very close to 2579 years. With the stele's exact age being a guess (a ~circa), it seems we have stumbled upon a new cosmology in which everything fits. I will leave it to others to measure everything, to ensure the validity of the Ten-Aeon Paradigm.

As noted in my podcast last week, Magus Time Episode 5 my first act as Magus in March 2020 was to listen to the instructions of my Angel, who told me to discover the name of The Stele of Revealing and ‘count well’ its name.
It then occurred to me that the word ‘Revealing’ in the name could just as well be 'Revelation', so why not use the Greek word Apokalypsis, which is the title of the Apocalypse, the Book of Revelation. And thus, I translated the entire name into Gree, with the following gematria total:
2574 = H Stélé tés Apokalypsis – The Stele of Revelation.
This fits right within the timeline of the death of Ankh-af-na-khonsu, and the creation of this Stele in ca. 680-670 BCE
Going backwards from AD 1904 to 671 BCE is 2574 years.
https://www.omnicalculator.com/everyday-life/bc-to-ad
So the name of the stele I was told to discover is also the ‘age’ of the stele in years when Rose Crowley recognized it. And this in turn is 1/10 of the length of time of the Axial Precession.
What takes this to the next level is the fact that in ternary, the decimal number 2574 = 10112100. We reverse the digits to make 00121101, which is the decimal number 442, the Hebrew gematria of מאאת Ma'at.

Firstly, I re-cognated that the Romans (?) had 10 months, but changed to 12. Bingo, it hit me. I'm born in Sept, yet Sept is our ninth month. Yeah, the Romans added January (for Janus, god of beginnings), and Feb for I don't know who.
This was a Christian or Osirian upgrade, twelve being sacred to that sect (12 apostles, etc).
The twin warriors about the pillars of the world are about to revise the Gregorian calendar (and possibly the Chinese lunar calendar) by revealing the hidden esoteric equation ...

I have computed the gematria totals for Liber MA.
There are five numerals in the text: 7 + 4 + 20 + 414 + 717 = 1162 = Katalysis in Greek. So, the Word of the Aeon is equivalent to the numbers of the text.
There is a Hebrew word and a letter = 102 + 8 = 110, or ‘in full’ 329 + 418 = 747.
747 = Amun אמון.
Leaving these two non-English groups aside, the sums of the Trigrammaton English gematria of the three chapters is as follows.
Chapter 1 = 86718 = 2 * 3 * 97 * 149 = 194 * 447 = צדק * מאות = Tzedek * Maut
Chapter 2 = 86524 = 2 * 2 * 97 * 223 = 194 * 446 = צדק * מות = Tzedek * Mut
Chapter 3 = 91374 = 2 * 3 * 97 * 157 = 194 * 471 = צדק * היכלות = Tzedek * Hekhalot – (palaces, temples)
Each chapter is a multiple of 194, the value of Tzedek, which means Justice and Righteousness, and is also the name of the planet Jupiter.
Since מאות Maut is 447 and אמון Amun is 97 and Khonsu can be spelled as חענסו to equal 194, then each chapter is a multiple of the name of the god who is speaking.
The odds against all three chapters being a multiple of 97 and identified with the god-names must be astronomical, but I will leave it to TDM to calculate such a thing. Insofar as gematria can 'prove' anything, these results show that an extraordinary intelligence was at work in the creation of Liber MA.
The grand total of the English is thus 264616
264616 = 2 * 194 * 682 = צדק * מעשה מרכבה = Tzedek * Ma’aseh Merkavah – The Work of the Chariot.
The sole Hebrew letter of the text is Chet, attributed to the Chariot of the tarot, and the sign of Cancer. Tzedek = Jupiter, who is Exalted in Cancer.
Using only English gematria of the text, the grand total points to chapter 3 verse 51:
194 = crescent disguise
682 = On my Hawk’s head a crescent disguise is seen as I have taken up the crook.
