<![CDATA[Role playing in Thelemic ritual - the subtle characters]]>Hello everyone. I'm exploring an idea here and was looking to see if there was already anything established on it or if there is any insight anyone can offer.

I was wondering if there are any rituals, group or individual, where the characters of liber al are portrayed - and I dont just mean the obvious ones, such as Nuit, Hadit, and Ra Hoor - but rather the subtle ones, such as 'the rich man from the west' and 'his child and that strangely' and the 'one who shall come after you' etc etc etc - or- if there have been any stories, poems, plays etc where these mysteries have been explored in character form.

I'm just exploring something here and it may be nothing, hoping there is something to come of it of interest at some point. It's kind of hard for me to put into context what I am exploring so I also hope there are not too many questions 😄

Thank you in advance

Child of his bowels, that howels, a riddle for your behest!
That precious stones, in hand, may be kept

as an allegory and metaphor only, consider the story/alchemy here. What does a Rich Man from the West do? Well it's easy to relate to this in story. rich men fund ideas. Artists and Scientists pretty much attract a large amount of funding. Without going into any personal detail whatsoever, I can personally relate to that and the experience, inspiration, and thrill it has to have a 'a-ha!' and then get it funded into a project. It's quite a hero's journey frought with every modern ordeal known to us WESTerners.

It's the union of idea (spirit) and money (matter ) easily told, there are a million great stories there alone.

If so intrigued or tickled by this exploration, please feel free to take it from here 😄

If you do find something please post a link.

"Hmmmmm...
I can feel what you're getting at..."

ha! me too, and that's all I have so far 😄

some of it came from dreams which sort of sparked the noodling of the concept
