Aleister Crowley and the Age of Horus
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
   

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
Definition: [Astrological Ages] Aleister Crowley [1875 - 1947 AD] in his Book of Law [liber AL vel Legis] [written 1904 AD, later published in a number of different editions] is said to have stated that the 'Age of Horus' had begun and the 'Age of Osiris' had ended.

Some subsequent commentators have stated that by saying this he was saying that the Age of Aquarius had begun. Is this true?

What did Crowley Actually Write?: Crowley wrote the following passages:

Abrogate are all rituals, all ordeals, all words and signs. Ra-Hoor-Khuit hath taken his seat in the East at the Equinox of the Gods; and let Asar be with Isa, who also are one. But they are not of me. Let Asar be the adorant, Isa the sufferer; Hoor in his secret name and splendour is the Lord initiating. [Book I Paragraph 49, Book of Law, written c 1904.]

Ra Hoor Khuit was indeed Lord of the Aeon, the Crowned and Conquering Child whose innocence meant no more than inhuman cruelty and wantonly senseless destructiveness as he avenged Isis our mother the Earth and the Heaven for the murder and mutilation of Osiris, Man, her son. [Chapter 7, Genesis Libri Al, written c 1920.]
