Everything about Hadit totally explained
Hadit (sometimes
Had) refers to the
Thelemic version of an
Egyptian god. Hadit is the principal speaker of the second chapter of
The Book of the Law (written by
Aleister Crowley in
1904).
Descriptions
He identifies himself as the point in the center of the circle, the axle of the wheel, the cube in the circle, "the flame that burns in every heart of man, and in the core of every star," and the worshipper's own inner self. Hadit has been interpreted as the inner spirit of man, the
Holy Ghost, the sperm in which the DNA of man is carried, the Elixir Vitae. When juxtaposed with
Nuit in Liber Legis, Hadit represents each unique point-experience. These point-experiences in aggregate comprise the sum of all possible experience, Nuit.
Hadit, "the great god, the lord of the sky," is depicted on the
Stele of Revealing in the form of the
winged disk of the Sun. However, while the ancient Egyptians treated the Sun and the other stars as separate, Thelema connects the sun-god Hadit with every individual star. Furthermore,
The Book of the Law says, "Every man and every woman is a star."
Hadit is the Secret Seed. In the
Book of the Law he says; "I am alone: there's no God where I am." . He is "the flame that burns in every heart of man, and in the core of every star." . He is identified with
kundalini; in the
Book of the Law he says, "I am the Secret
Serpent coiled about to spring: in my coiling there's joy. If I lift up my head, I and my Nuit are one. If I droop down mine head, and shoot forth venom, then is rapture of the earth, and I and the earth are one. There is great danger in me..." .
Hadit is the Fire of Desire at the Heart of Matter (
Nuit). The combination of the upward-pointing triangle of Hadit and the downward-pointing triangle of Nuit forms the Star of Spirit (the
Hexagram). The union of the infinitely small Hadit and the infinitely great Nuit causes an explosive rapture which leads to
Samadhi.
His symbols are our
Sun, the
serpent, the Fire Snake, the star
Sothis, the planet
Pluto,
sperm, the
Will, the winged globe, the
Hermit, and the hidden flame. He is
Leo to Nuit's
Aquarius. He is
LVX to Nuit's
NOX. The short form of his name,
Had, forms the central syllable of the word of the
Aeon,
Abrahadabra.
History
The earlier, Egyptian version, went by the name of Hor-Behudeti or
Horus of
Edfu, Haidith in
Greek.
Thoth let him take the form of the solar disk to help a younger version of Horus—Re-Horakhty, or
Ra-Hoor-Khuit—in a battle with
Set and his army. Both versions of Horus appear in the Egyptian image that Thelemites call
Stele 666 (of the
Boulaq Museum in Cairo) or the
Stèle of Revealing. Around the time of its creation, Egyptian funerary teachings apparently included "the new idea that the deceased could become one with the sun god, previously only a royal prerogative."
