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 entity_class to filter by kind (19 controlled values: deity, angel, demon, aeon, sefirah, spirit, monster, hero, etc.). category is free text (1,148 values) and is not a reliable filter. Use tradition to filter by tradition. The short_note column contains a scholarly description with source citations.

ENT_THL_BABALON Babalon   Thelemic Thelemic deity Deity the Great Mother; ecstasy; the Scarlet Woman; liberation; the Abyss   literary   B candidate_verified_name Modern occult revival (v1.74.0) 0 0 0 The Thelemic Great Mother and sacred-whore goddess riding the Beast, developed by Crowley (notably in The Vision and the Voice) as a redemptive reframing of the biblical Whore of Babylon. deity
ENT_THL_HOOR_PAAR_KRAAT Hoor-paar-kraat   Thelemic Thelemic deity Deity silence; the inmost; passivity; secrecy   literary   B candidate_verified_name Modern occult revival (v1.74.0) 0 0 0 The silent passive twin of Ra-Hoor-Khuit, the god of silence; a Thelemic adaptation of Harpocrates forming a polarity with the active conquering child. deity
ENT_THL_NUIT Nuit   Thelemic Deity Deity cosmos; infinity; stars; night; space; polarity thelema; nuit; crowley; 20th-century; modern reception; egyptian reception; book of the law; infinite space     A reviewed Crowley, Liber AL vel Legis I (1904/1909); Hanegraaff (ed.), Dictionary of Gnosis and Western Esotericism (2006)       The goddess of infinite space and the infinite stars in Thelema, whose voice constitutes Chapter I of The Book of the Law (Cairo, 1904). Proclaims: "I am the infinite space and the infinite stars thereof" (Liber AL I:22). Her complementary principle is Hadit; together they represent the primordial duality of infinite extension and the point of consciousness. Formally derived from the Egyptian sky goddess Nut (ENT_EGY_NUT), but radically transformed: where Nut is a sky vault arching over the earth, Nuit is infinite space itself, the body of the universe in which every star is a point of Hadit. A documented 20th-century Thelemic reception of the Egyptian deity; not a survival of Egyptian religion. deity
ENT_THL_RA_HOOR_KHUIT Ra-Hoor-Khuit   Thelemic Deity Deity will; war; solar; aeon; victory; rulership thelema; ra-hoor-khuit; horus; crowley; 20th-century; modern reception; book of the law; aeon of horus; solar deity     A reviewed Crowley, Liber AL vel Legis III (1904/1909); Hanegraaff (ed.), Dictionary of Gnosis and Western Esotericism (2006)       The "crowned and conquering child" and Lord of the Aeon of Horus in Thelema; his voice is Chapter III of The Book of the Law (1904). A composite of the Egyptian solar deity Ra and Horus (most directly Ra-Harakhty), recast as the lord of the current cosmic epoch: the Aeon of Horus, which Crowley declared began in 1904, replacing the Aeon of Osiris (Christianity). Together with his silent twin Hoor-paar-kraat (Thelemic reception of Harpocrates, ENT_SYN_HARPOCRATES), he forms the composite deity Heru-Ra-Ha. Egyptian source entities ENT_EGY_HORUS, ENT_EGY_RA, and ENT_EGY_RA_HORAKHTY exist in this database; all are documented reception sources for this Thelemic figure. deity
ENT_THL_THERION Therion (The Beast 666)   Thelemic Thelemic deity Deity force; the magical self; prophecy; consort of Babalon   literary   B candidate_verified_name Modern occult revival (v1.74.0) 0 0 0 To Mega Therion, 'The Great Beast 666,' Crowley's prophetic magical office and consort of Babalon; an affirmative reclamation of the apocalyptic Beast of Revelation. deity
