Aiwass

(Revision as of 10:52, 24 Sep 2004)

"Behold! it is revealed by Aiwass the minister of Hoor-paar-kraat."

   ~Liber AL vel LEGIS I:7

The Book of the Law being the centraly holy book of Thelema, makes Aiwass a very important figure. It is he who dictated the work to Aleister Crowley on three days of the writing of The Book of the Law in 1904. For those interested in how the work was recieved please see "The Equinox of the Gods" chapter 7.

It is impossible to discuss Aiwass without referring to The Book of the Law for it is through that work that we learn the nature of Aiwass. It is certain that Liber AL is written in a style wholey uncarachteristic of Crowley. Careful study of the work has revealed that it is filled with manny qabalistic keys and other mysteries, many of which are still unsolved today. These puzzles accompanied with the hurried pace of Crowley's pen make it almost certain that the work comes from some form of higher intelligence communicating the message of the new aeon through Crowley. That intelligence is Aiwass.

Aiwass claims to be the miniter of Hoor-paar-kraat, a god the ancient egyptians knew as Harpocrates. Harpocrates is a form of the god Horus depicted as an innocent child. His mother is Nut, or Nuit in Liber AL. This atribution further emphasizes the role of Aiwass in delivering the world of the crowned and conquring child.
