The Cosmic Egg: Nuit, Hadit, and the Zero
Part 3 of the Dualism, Monism & Thelema Series Nuit and Hadit as Foundations The Book of the Law presents Nuit and Hadit as the two exclusive deities of the Thelemic universe. I am Heaven, and there is no other God than me, and my lord Hadit. AL I.21 Furthermore Crowley took Nuit and Hadit…
Why a circular Tree of Life?
Reflections on the Path in Eternity (Part 4) I came to magick via an unsual path: through my interest in the German philosopher Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel. Hegel was not a magician. He was a late-18th/early-19th century philosopher in the idealist tradition (a branch of thought taking influence from Descartes, Berkeley, and Hume, but which…
The Khu
Reflections on the Path in Eternity (Part 3) In the last post we saw that the star or soul of each individual is composed of two parts: the Khabs and the Khu. The Khabs is the manifestation of a distinct individual within the context of Nuit. The Khabs is the “house” of Hadit—your individual point…

Practically all vices springs from failure to do this. Aleister Crowley, Confessions But…
Thelema’s highest good
But to love me is better than all things. Like everything else in Thelema, its highest aim is 2-in-1. It’s doing your will—without lust of result. It should now be perfectly simple for everybody to understand the Message of the Master Therion. Thou must (1) Find out what is thy Will. (2) Do that Will…
