Liber Resh: Adoration of Ahathoor at Noon

At noon the practitioner faces south and salutes the Sun as Ahathoor (Hathor) in triumph and in beauty, travelling in the solar bark at the midcourse of the day. As at each station, the address is followed by the sign of silence, the further adoration taught by the superior and meditation. Liber Resh assigns the four stations of the Sun to four Egyptian deities and the four quarters, so that the day itself becomes a cycle of devotion. Members of the A.∴A.∴ and later of Thelemic organisations adopted the noon adoration as a midday reminder, and many keep a brief record in their magical diary.

Purpose

Liber Resh says the four daily adorations keep the practitioner constantly mindful of the Great Work and strengthen them to pursue it.

Timing

Season / time

At noon

Performed at noon each day, facing south. The four adorations together mark sunrise, noon, sunset and midnight; Crowley also recommends keeping a record of them in the magical diary.
