The Stèle of Revealing refers to an ancient Egyptian funerary artifact of Ankhefenkhons 1 also known as Ankh-af-na-khonsu or Ankh-ef-en-Khons which played a role in the creation of the religion known as Thelema, initiated by Aleister Crowley in 1904 with the writing of The Book of the Law.

Origins

The stèle comes from Thebes, around the time of Dynasty XXVI. At this rough place and time (670BCE to 660BCE, Egyptians believed their Akhu could merge with the sun god, instead of becoming stars, even if they did not come from the royal family.

In Thelema

Aleister Crowley, his wife Rose had already reported a revelation from the god Horus, through his messenger Aiwass. The couple went to the Boulaq Museum in Cairo, Egypt to see if she could recognize Horus on Monday, March 21, 1904. Rose did recognize an image of the god, on a painted stèle bearing the catalogue number 666.

This image shows the three main deities of Thelema: Nuit, Hadit (or Horus as the solar disk), and Ra-Hoor-Khuit (or Horus merged with Ra).

Inscriptions

The inscriptions on the front side of the object refer to the ancient Egyptian version of these deities, whom Egyptologist Zayed calls Nut, Behdty and Ra-Horakhty. Some of the text comes from chapter 91 of the Egyptian Book of the Dead. The back of the stela contains eleven lines of text from chapters 30 and 2, the latter of which "was to allow the astral form of the deceased to revisit the earth at will."
