@threefold31 I have not finished reading the book preview. But I agree with you, it is a highly detailed and well researched article. I was especial...

Yeah! I read that in the Daily Mail this morning. Believe it or not, there was a rumor of a hidden chamber or tunnel located just above the main sha...

It seems that the most succinct article I have found so far on this Montu-Ankh-af-na-Khonus question is found in: forthethelemites.website

For a while I was doing the banishing ritual which if I am not mistaken involves facing the four cardinal points, and with a rod, or in my case my fin...

Pretty cool. Sort of reminds of the prayers to the Amduat, especially the stations of the sun "Neglect never the fourfold stations of the sun"

Osiris and Isis agree. Pizza Hut is the best!

@herupakraath I don'trecall the Pizza Hut, but I did a search, and sure enough there is a Pizza Hut located at Mohammed Mahmoud St. Tahir Sq. Cairo. ...

By radiationI meant the feeling that I was in some sort of energy storage container in the form of the Great Pyramid of Giza. You walk down a long na...

Would someone PLEASE tell me what is "doing the work"? Is it reading Crowley's books and his suggested reading list? Is it astral-projecting to anot...

I have been to the old Cairo Museum back in 1991. Everything I saw radiated an aura of immense power, solemnity and auric womp. But, no I did not per...

There ia a pretty good article about Ancient Egyptian artists and the pigments they used from the Royal Society of Chemistry that affirms that mineral...

Okay, I got the message. I will as you say, eat excrement and terminate. (Sound advice).

The topic is all dried up. Just like you I might add.

Would the Sothic Cycle have anything to do with this? Our perhaps the Lunar calender?

Interesting point. Given the vast expanse of time since the founding of the Abrahamic religion, the late Middle Ages would be "modern" I am sure you...

I am sure you meant to write "claim" not "clam" I would call that a Freudian-Thelemic slip. The clam or shell is an attribute of the Qlipoth, the evil...

@shiva He got lost in translation.

@hadgigegenraum Aye me Bucko, tis gold I seek!

@hadgigegenraum I appreciate your vote of confidence! Shiva seems convinced of his definition, and yet there is no such word as "abstruction" in any ...

I concede. You wrote "move away". How I got "set apart I don't know. It's like the old parlor game of whispering a word into the ear of another, and...

@shiva Maybe not. Maybe it just means to set the Stele apart from other Steles. But you were the one who offered the English language translation...

I am not challenging your statement about the word "abstruction" which you say, If I understand you, has its roots in the Greek Language. Okay, so I ...

@shiva El Kabong, what's gotten into you? I can't let a misspelled word stand, especially if I am quoting The Lord Almighty. (And I don't mean Crowle...

ERRATUM: Whosoever.

Matthew 10:33-34 "But however denies me before Men, I will deny them before my Father" "Do not assume that I have come to bring peace on earth, I h...

Sure! If I can call you "El Kabong"! (For those under 65, There was a cartoon called "Quick Draw McGraw" an anthropomorphic horse with a little ta...

I found both books on internet archive, Maspero and McCauley. I look forward to reading them. Thanks!

If it entertains me, and I get fulfillment out of it, then yes, it is good. Besides, Budge was not always erroneous. There are no absolutes in l...

I don't consider it a waste of time. I have gotten countless hours of enjoyment from reading Budge, and he was correct about a great many things. He w...

Crowley's knowledge of Ancient Egyptian mythology was from his reading E.A. Wallis Budge's publications. Even Frazer's Golden Bough, a book suggested...

This may sound like a stupid question (I am not above asking stupid questions, ask Ignant666 and Shiva, and possibly Katrina) But who said that Re-Hor...

I can't help but notice that the figures in this stela are Black and Brown. Proving that this was made during the Kushite Rule during the 25 Dynasty....

@ignant666 Well I'll just have to wait until the new system of Magick is published.

@ignant666 Well, you learn something new every day. What makes them Egyptian adepts? are they in psychic communion with long dead Egyptian Priests? ...

@the_real_simon_iff "Contact with Egyptian Adepts" my eye.

@shiva I know better now. Thanks. But it was worth a look, and I got exposed to other interesting stuff while chasing a wild goose. (Did I say "Goo...

@herupakraath PT is NOT a god and adding an "E" doesn't make it a god, it is a hieroglyph for sky. Remember, there are no vowels in the Ancient Egypt...

We are like dogs chasing our tails on this one (Notice the canine imagery keeps popping up?) There is no god or goddess, or undine, salamander, or tr...

@ignant666 I had the same problem. When I used "Pet Egyptian god" as a search term, It came up with Anubis. Or, it says "Pets in Ancient Egypt" I am ...

Even if you did "Just make it up" Your synchronicity is spot-on as what do we see in the Book of Birdhead's Moon card? (Atu XVIII) Not one, but two ja...

More often than not, most funerary steles do portray Nuit as a Framing Device. You will also notice that almost ALL funerary steles have the winged s...

A god or godess in a polythestic religion. I don't know, that is just the standard definition.

The Hyksos. A god is an all-powerful deity that controls everything life, nature, after-life.

@shiva That was all very interesting. What is your opinion of The Rosicrucian's? Isn't their entire religion based on Ancient Egypt? I have been to...

@hadgigegenraum Despite the unique status Crowley put on the "Stele of Revealing". I have seen hundreds of steles in museums both here in the U.S., a...

@hadgigegenraum Is this a tomb painting you are talking about? Is it Egyptian? Give some details as to context and where you saw it. (I assume you t...

They were Afro-Asiatic, at least that is the latest fad in guessing what race the Ancient Egyptians really were. I never thought that they were "Whit...

This is really an intriguing question that you all have raised as to the references to Montu as a cult figure in Ancient Egypt and the gods associatio...

@shiva You have proven yet again that I don't know shit from Shinola! I won't talk, I'll just listen for once.

When you consider it, EVERYTHING Mr. Crowley wrote was anecdotal. You have to take his word for it that certain things happened. He offers no "proof...
