the formula of IAO (Isis-Apophis-Osiris). 220
Having found a connection to Babalon (and thus Hekate), Grant
interprets the formula:
I, Yod …is the solitary seed attributed to Virgo, represented by the
Virgin. A is Apophis, the ‘evil’ serpent of corruption and dissolution,
represented by the Whore. O is the true Eye or Yoni…
Grant references Crowley’s Magick in Theory and Practice (Book 4,
part 3) and notes that this formula is a key to Crowley’s system. 221
Charles Stansfeld Jones or Frater Achad, who found Crowley as an
accountant with a fresh divorce and broke with him decades later as a
total burn-out, having claimed the 9º=2* grade (analagous to the
spiritual development of Christ, Buddha, Confucius, Mohammed, etc.)
falsely, without having fully eradicated his ego. That was at least
Crowley's judgement, and many (like Kenneth Grant) have their
doubts that Crowley ever made it that far himself. Achad's notion was
that, due to his handiwork, the "Aeon of Ma'at" (Justice) was now
prematurely supercedeing Crowley's Aeon of Horus. Kenneth Grant
and his disciple Nema later posited a "Dual Aeon of Horus/Ma'at"
which would soon itself be superceded by the "Wordless Aeon" of
Harpocrates. 222
And finally:
Horus and Maat constitute a Double Current; they are twin aeons -
the Twins of Tetragrammaton, the Son and the Daughter, the Vau and
the Hé final. Likewise, they are Ra-Hoor-Khuit and Hoor-paar-kraat,
the manifest and unmanifest twins which are Perfection: and
Perfection, being Silence, is Zain, the Wordless Aeon. These twins are
shadowed forth in Atu VI, assigned to Gemini; and contemplation of
this card sheds further light on their interplay. 223
