Horus is one of the oldest and most significant deities in ancient Egyptian religion, who was worshipped from at least the late Predynastic period through to Greco-Roman times. Different forms of Horus are recorded in history, and these are treated as distinct gods by Egypt specialists.These various forms may possibly be different perceptions of the same multi-layered deity in which certain attributes or syncretic relationships are emphasized, not necessarily in opposition but complementary to one another, consistent with how the Ancient Egyptians viewed the multiple facets of reality.He was most often depicted as a falcon, most likely a lanner or peregrine, or as a man with a falcon head.
The earliest recorded form of Horus is the patron deity of Nekhen in Upper Egypt, who is the first known national god, specifically related to the king who in time came to be regarded as a manifestation of Horus in life and Osiris in death.The most commonly encountered family relationship describes Horus as the son of Isis and Osiris but in another tradition Hathor is regarded as his mother and sometimes as his wife.[1] Horus served many functions in the Egyptian pantheon, most notably being the god of the sun, war and protection.

The
Initiated Interpretation
of
Ceremonial Magic1
IT is loftily amusing to the student of magical literature who is not
quite a fool—and rare is such a combination!—to note the criticism
directed by the Philistine against the citadel of his science. Truly,
since our childhood has ingrained into us not only literal belief in the
2
Bible, but also substantial belief in Alf Laylah wa Laylah, and only
adolescence can cure us, we are only too liable, in the rush and energy
of dawning manhood, to overturn roughly and rashly both these
classics, to regard them both on the same level, as interesting
documents from the standpoint of folk-lore and anthropology, and as
nothing more.
Even when we learn that the Bible, by profound and minute study
of the text, may be forced to yield up Qabalistic arcana of cosmic
scope and importance, we are too often slow to apply a similar
restorative to the companion volume, even if we are the lucky holders
of Burton’s veritable edition.
To me, then, it remains to raise the Alf Laylah wa Laylah into its
proper place once more.
I am not concerned to deny the reality of all “magical” phenomena;
if they are illusions, they are at least as real as many unquestioned
facts of daily life; and, if we follow Herbert Spencer, they are at least
evidence of some cause.3
Now, this fact is our base. What is the cause of my illusion of
seeing a spirit in the triangle of Art?
Every smatterer, every expert in psychology, will answer: “That
cause lies in your brain.”
English children are taught (pace the Education Act) that the
Universe lies in infinite Space; Hindu children, in the Akaca, which is
the same thing.
Those Europeans who go a little deeper learn from Fichte, that the
phenomenal Universe is the creation of the Ego; Hindus, or
Europeans studying under Hindu Gurus, are told, that by Akaca is
mean the Chitakaca. The Chitakaca is situated in the “Third Eye,”
i.e., in the brain. By assuming higher dimensions of space, we can
assimilate this face to Realism; but we have no need to take so much
trouble.
This being true for the ordinary Universe, that all sense-
1
impressions are dependent on changes in the brain, we must include
illusions, which are after all sense-impressions as much as “realities”
are, in the class of “phenomena dependent on brain-changes.”
Magical phenomna, however, come under a special sub-class, since
they are willed, and their cause is the series of “real” phenomena
called the operations of ceremonial Magic.
These consist of:
(1) Sight.
The circle, square, triangle, vessels, lamps, robes, imple-
ments, etc.
(2) Sound.
The invocations.
(3) Smell.
The perfumes.
(4) Taste.
The Sacraments.
(5) Touch.
As under (1)
(6) Mind.
The combination of all these and reflection on their
significance.
These unusual impressions (1-5) produce unusual brain-changes;
hence their summary (6) is of unusual kind. Its projection back into
the apparently phenomenal world is therefore unusual.
Herein then consists the reality of the operations and effects of
1
ceremonial magic, and I conceive that the apology is ample, so far as
the “effects” refer only to those phenomena which appear to the
magician himself, the appearance of the spirit, his conversation,
possible shocks from imprudence, and so on, even to ecstasy on the
one hand, and death or madness on the other.

WELCOME.
MIDNIGHT RHA, remains true to the classical tradition. Our Order provides the sincere seeker the opportunity to become part of a worldwide fraternity with Golden Dawn temples, sanctuaries and study groups throughout the NIGERIA, CANADA and EUROPE. In addition, we provide astral initiations and advancements for those who seek the light of the Golden Dawn, hunger for knowledge and spiritual, magical transformation but do not live by a temple. Our Order remains the only Order that continues to provide long distance initiations where no Golden Dawn temple is nearby.
If you seek the light of hidden wisdom; if you are sincere and want to learn advanced teachings traditional to the classical Golden Dawn and if you seek fraternal friendship with other sincere like-minded people from around the world, then these Order is prepared to serve your desires to grow in Light, wisdom, magic and as far as your aspirations will take you.
