    I have been trying to understand the Bornloess ritual,
    OSORONNOPHRIS I am finding really difficult to understand;
    I am thinking it is Greek, but when I look for a definition in greek
    maybe I am not looking in the right place.
    Can someone help me find the meaning of the word, ad well as
    all of the other difficult to pronounce words, I am thinking that a knowldge of the meaning of the foriegn language would put abit more power into to effort used in the ritual.

    Thanks

    I keep to the simple explanation Crowley gave, "myself made perfect whom no man hath ever seen."

    On it's face, it's a Greek barbarous (foreign, seeming nonsense) word.

    Crowley felt it was a corruption of Asar Un-Nefer - Osiris Made Perfect.

    I think one of the points with using such ('barbaric') words is to *not *understand them in the common sense of rational understanding (as we do with most other words we use); so these words create a sort of a break, an 'empty space', a 'crack' in Ruach, for Neshamah to be experienced through it
