Aiwass

Aiwaz (also Aiwass ) is regarded as Aleister Crowley holy guardian angel, who is said to have dictated to him the Liber AL vel Legis. The name is reminiscent of "I was " (I was ), which Aleister Crowley is probably meant. This speculation arises in several biographers and commentators. Accordingly, the term would be a mystification Crowley.

Liber AL vel Legis

Aiwaz Liber AL vel is mentioned in the Legis once. " Behold! it is revealed by Aiwass the minister [ sic ] of Hoor- paar- kraat. " " Look! It is revealed by Aiwass the Messenger of Hoor- paar- kraat. " Aiwaz so knew Crowley, the mediator between him and Harpocrates itself The shape, Aiwaz was supposed, was the appearance of Ra - Hoor- Khuit, the active and proclaiming the form of Harporkrates. The latter is in Crowley's mysticism, the silent and passive aspect of Horus dar.

Crowley wrote that Aiwaz in a kind of hovering cloud, and " a large dark man seemed to be in his thirties, well- built, strong and lively, with the face of a cruel ruler and veiled eyes, that ye beam does not destroy, to which he turned his eyes ." His voice Crowley described as " a deep voice, melodic and expressive, solemnly, sensual, tender or angry, as always, it corresponded to the content [ of Liber AL vel Legis ] ".

Importance

Crowley was convinced that Aiwass the idea of Thelema and the formula of the Aeon ( Abrahadabra ) expressed what Crowley elicited by the Greek and the Hebrew Kabbalah. For him, Aiwass and his message were ( Liber AL vel Legis, the ) "no fault of spiritual balance [ ..], but a means to correct an imbalance ," which he meant to recognize the work of the great religions.

Invocation

The Invocation of Aiwass was built by Crowley in some rituals, such as in his Liber V vel Reguli. Thus it plays a role in some rituals of the Ordo Templi Orientis and the Astrum Argenteum.

Myth

By Kenneth Grant, a student of Crowley in the years before Crowley's death, came to Aiwass a headstrong myth is identified in the Aiwass with a painted by Crowley beings. This image shows a portrait of a man-like creature with a very large head and almond-shaped eyes, not unlike the modern depictions of " aliens ". Crowley called the essence of " Lam " shown. As Kenneth Grant chose this for himself, Crowley " Aiwass " is said to have muttered, which was understood by Grant so that Aiwass and Lam at least stood in close relation to each other. As a result, was a little more common " Lam - cult" as a flow of the Thelemic movement.
