Despite Crowleys hostility to "Dying God" symbolism, Osiris also needs to be acknowledged as a spirit of the Underworld. It has been frequently stated that battles between Gods were sometimes reflections of a terrestrial political situation...we should not discard energies / entities (Laws?) simply because certain humans went on persecution campaigns, for whatever reasons. In Voudon Gnosis Osiris is Legba, and I dont believe the Set-Osiris conflict is echoed in that system between Legba and Geudhe. Im just saying this because I notice an expulsion of the Osiris principle from Thelemic and Typhonian practices, but the dying god wasnt just a human sin / redemption concept as Christ; the journey to the underworld symbolized the cycles of the seasons and the return of the sun for the rebirth of vegetation. We still have night and day in the new Aeon, we still have winter and summer, we still grow crops to live. I say Osiris and Set are not enemies, nature is rhythm and chaos intertwined.

Mr. Gregory Peters, would you be so kind as to forward me your version of Samekh if I forwarded you my e-mail? I can't read it in the form here posted, not even by copying and pasting it - as done by another interested reader. Thank you in advance for your reply.

Of course, let me know. Yes I was not able to get it formatted very nicely on the boards. I probably could have if I spent time fiddling with the settings, but at the time other pressing needs and all that!
