"The discussion of it is right there in Equinox of the Gods, I think. Probably in Confessions, too."

I've looked at the exact places in both texts where the Supreme Ritual is discussed, and neither mention anything about Ouarda 'editing' anything. It is only mentioned that it is revealed to or dictated by her.
What do you mean by 'edited it mercilessly'? Perhaps I am misunderstanding you."

I have the New Falcon Edition of The EOTG, and at the top of page 71 is says ""The revealing of the Ritual (by W. the Seer) consisted chiefly in a prohibition of all formulae hitherto used, as will be seen from the text written below."

And on page 77 there is a section entitled "INVOCATION OF HORUS ACCORDING TO THE DIVINE VISION OF W., THE SEER. To be performed before a window open to the E. or N. without incense. The room to be filled with jewels, but only diamonds to be worn. A sword, unconsecrated, 44 pearl beads to be told. Stand. Bright daylight at 12:30 noon. Lock doors. White robes. Bare feet. Be very loud. Saturday. Use the sign of Apophis and Typhon. The above is W.'s answer to various questions posed by P. Preliminary. Banish. L.B.R. Pentagram L.B.R. Hexagram. Flaming Sword. Abrahadabra, Invoke. As before (These are P.'s ideas for the ritual. W. replied, "Omit")"

I hope this helps.

93, and thanks Jim!

93 All,

Is anyone else preparing to celebrate the Thelemic Holy season ala our dear friend Mr. Eshelman's link?

helema.org/home/thelemic_holy_season.html

My question is this.
I should know better by now but....
"The Invocation of Horus (The Supreme Ritual)"

Is this the version from:
A) The Bornless Ritual of the Goetia
B) The Version that Ouarda dictated to Crowley In Cairo
C) The version from Liber Samekh?

My guess would be B. but you can never be too sure.
