Who says that KEK is against Nu Hadit and Horus?

"up to Chesed? You mean the grade system identificationsof attainment?"
No, I mean Chesed as in limitation; the closest to the summit that the mind can hope to reach. Picture a square-shaped circle. You can not do it. This is indicative of the limitations of the the human mind. It illustrates how deeply rooted our mind's attachment to concepts is, the roots having been sown and nurtured since birth. Reason cannot pierce beyond Chesed for Reason is fed by the Abyss; i.e. the "substance" of the Abyss is the vehicle of Reason. (Compare the meaning of reason to the idea of Demiurge.) Reason is valuable only in so far as it is constantly kept in perspective, which is accomplished by abiding in Silence or Light or Equilibrium or whatever other half-true description it pleases anyone to label it with (it's called K&CotHGA in the Thelemic vernacular).
How does this relate to your post? You said that the Egyptian gods are relevant to Thelema and I am saying that that is a concept and a quite incorrect one, even as concepts go.
Dig this:

"Nu, Hadit, and Horus, in the context of this forum, are Thelemic deities. They are not ancient Egyptian deities. "
In addition to the quote above, gerry, the Thelemic deities borrow from the Egyptian ones for many aspects of their symbolism, but do not forget that such symbolism exists solely within the Reason and can but only point to that which requires a "different" way of seeing things to fully grasp.

/ˈpanθɪən/..."
Yes, I know what the word pantheon means. My question to you was: "Valid for what?"@gerry456 said
"No correlation? Where and what are the differences?"
The gods painted on the stele 2700 years ago are:Nut = The sky goddess. Lover of Geb (the earth) her husband/brother/complement. Daughter of Shu & Tefnut, granddaughter of Atum.
Behedeti = The Winged Sun. Avatar of Horus. Symbol of royalty and power.
Ra-Horakhty = Ra who is Horus of the Two Horizons (i.e., the Sun as it travels from sunrise to sunset)The gods as interpreted by Aleister Crowley are:
Nuit = The continuous one of heaven. The context of all that is. The co-creator of existence as lover and equal of her Lord Hadit.
Hadit = The unseen and all-seeing point. The observer of all that is. The co-creator of existence as lover and equal of his Lady Nuit.
Ra-Hoor-Khuit = A God of War and Vengeance. An avatar of Horus as the ever-borning Child of Nuit & Hadit's infinite embrace (i.e. HGA). Twin of Hoor-Paar-Kraat and half of HeruRaHa. -
That's not how I would characterize it.

Presumably you disputed my I get it so AC has taken those deity-ideas and warped their definition for his own purpose? line.

Best not to presume, then. It's really not possible for me to dispute anything since you still haven't clarified what you think all this is "valid" for or why you felt it important to raise these questions in the first place. The stream of one-line questions without any sort of actual thinking on the issues you purport to be interested in, thus far, signals nothing deeper than your standard internet fishing expedition. Trolling for KEK, as it were.
I simply didn't want your words to be interpreted as anything close what I would say on that tangent.

Paranoid much?
I thought Crowley was using genuine Egyptian dieties.

I've been watching some Alt Right videos on youtube.
It's fascism. Watered down, techno savvy fear-mongering, racialist crap.
These mouth pieces like Spence are in it for themselves ultimately. For their own careers. Yes we have Islamic fascism and intolerance..... but you don't fight fire with fire....two wrongs don't make a right.....pun intended.

And upon Her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABALON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH. Verily, verily, thrice verily She is THE MISTRESS OF THE SAINTS and Her formula is Universal.
Mystery is the veil of Truth. You giveth, and you giveth all to Babalon, you give Her your all, you rend the veil and lose yourself for Understanding.
