Entities

The core table — every entity in the database, spanning gods, angels, demons, aeons, prophets, saints, heroes, spirits, monsters, personified abstractions, cosmological realms, and ritual categories. Use category to filter by functional type (146 values: Underworld Deity, Hero, Adversarial Being, Revealer Figure, etc.). Use tradition to filter by tradition. The short_note column contains a scholarly description with source citations.

ENT_THL_AEON_HORUS The Aeon of Horus   Thelemic Concept Concept the present age; the crowned and conquering child; self-realization   literary   B candidate_verified_name Modern occult revival (v1.74.0) 0 0 0 The current cosmic age inaugurated in 1904 according to Thelema, succeeding the Aeons of Isis and Osiris and governed by Ra-Hoor-Khuit; modeled as an era rather than a being. abstraction
ENT_THL_HADIT Hadit   Thelemic Personified abstraction Personified Abstraction will; consciousness; energy; point; polarity; fire; self thelema; hadit; crowley; 20th-century; modern reception; book of the law; true will; point consciousness     A reviewed Crowley, Liber AL vel Legis II (1904/1909); Hanegraaff (ed.), Dictionary of Gnosis and Western Esotericism (2006)       The complementary principle to Nuit in Thelema; his voice is Chapter II of The Book of the Law (1904). "I am the flame that burns in every heart of man, and in the core of every star" (Liber AL II:6). While Nuit is infinite space, Hadit is the infinitely small point of consciousness within it — the core of individual True Will. Scholars identify him as a reception of the Egyptian winged solar disc Behdety (Horus of Behdet), though the theological content is Crowley's own synthesis drawing on Hermetic, Kabbalistic, and Egyptian sources. No direct ancient antecedent for this specific theological function; a 20th-century Thelemic creation. abstraction
ENT_THL_HGA The Holy Guardian Angel   Thelemic Concept Concept the true self; tutelary spirit; attainment; knowledge and conversation   literary   B candidate_verified_name Modern occult revival (v1.74.0) 0 0 0 The Thelemic/Abramelin concept of the individual's tutelary genius or true higher self, whose 'Knowledge and Conversation' is the central attainment; adopted from the Book of Abramelin and recast by Crowley, who identified Aiwass as his own HGA. abstraction
