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_AIWASS Aiwass   Thelemic Revealer Revealer Figure revelation; hidden knowledge; holy guardian angel; cosmic law; dictation thelema; aiwass; crowley; 20th-century; book of the law; holy guardian angel; revealer; no ancient antecedent     A reviewed Crowley, Liber AL vel Legis I:7 (1904/1909); Hanegraaff (ed.), Dictionary of Gnosis and Western Esotericism (2006)       The intelligence who dictated The Book of the Law to Aleister Crowley in Cairo, April 8-10, 1904. Self-identified as "the minister of Hoor-paar-kraat" (Liber AL I:7). Crowley later came to identify Aiwass as his own Holy Guardian Angel — the higher self or personal genius of the magician, a concept inherited from the Book of Abramelin the Mage (via the Golden Dawn). Hutton (The Triumph of the Moon, 1999) notes the Golden Dawn's Holy Guardian Angel concept is rooted in the Abramelin tradition; Blavatsky's Mahatmas are a parallel hidden-master archetype that influenced Crowley's milieu. No ancient antecedent; a documented 20th-century Thelemic revealer figure, structurally parallel to other revelation-transmitters (Jibril/Muhammad, Moroni/Smith) but with no claimed historical continuity. prophet
