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
