    I was at a thrift store today and came across a wee little charm of this feller. The website below describes him as "The Saint of lost things, and lost souls, car keys ect..." He was also name "The Doctor of the Church" and the "Saint of Miracles". www.luckymojo.com/saintanthony.html

    How would he fit into the Thelemic system? "Doctor of the Church" sounds very tipareth to me. This site also list's him under 2 of the 9 African Yoruba Orishas. Eleggua / Elegua: Messenger, Opener of the Way, Trickster ; and Ogun / Ogum: Lord of Metals, Minerals, Tools, War, Birds, and Wild Beasts. Granted, there were two St. Anthony's. One in Egypt from 251-356 and was the founder of monachism. And the second, Saint Anthony of Padua (Italy), lived from 1195-1231. Also there is a mentioning of him in Liber ABA, I think Book II.
    Some extra info from anyone would be nice. 😀

    things you mentioned about him sound from qabalistic (not Thelemic!) perspective very Mercurial -> pertaining to Hod
    ("The Doctor of the Church", Messenger, Opener of the Way, Trickster; Lord of Metals, Minerals, Tools...)

    I think your right. It was the "Doctor of the Church" that emidiatley made me think of Raphiel, and the Cadaucius.

    93,

    A Doctor of the Church is simply a scholarly saint who produced writings that are seen as the basis of sound doctrine. There's probably a more precise definition kicking around, but that's the essence of the term. The list includes (in the Catholic Church) St. Augustine and St. John of the Cross.

    93 93/93,

    Edward
