WHat's the deal with HUA and HRU?
-
WHo are these cats, and where do they originate? I can find very little info on either of them.
-
The HUA I see referenced many times in the "Golden Dawn" published under Israel Regardie. It is referred to as the higher genius and as a great Avenging Angel. Kind of like the Thelemic HGA in the Higher Genius way.
The HRU is the Angel who presides over the Tarot and Secret Wisdom. Liber T references this from the Golden Dawn and also from the just made available Liber Theta (T in Greek I believe) from College of Thelema linked within this forum under General Discussions.

Please give the context. The answer to your question varies with context.
HVA (pronounced Hu) is the Hebrew pronoun "He," and often serves as a Divine Name of Kether, and also as the name of an angel of the same attributes. HRU is one spelling of Horus' name, and also appears in other contexts with different meanings.
-
Hua (pronounced more or less as it's spelled) is also the Arabic word for "He". I think it's worth noting that in Crowley's British, the name Hoor would be pronounced the same.

The context I was referring to is the GD inner order and equinox ceremonies.

I suspected ... but, if you still need more assistance, please cite the specific ritual (and, perhaps, the specific generation or source - since these things changed).
