Ailerán 🐭

"Ailerán, also known as Ailerán sapientis (Ailerán the Wise) was an Irish scholar and saint who died on 29 December, 664 or 665. His feast day is December 29. Biography Ailerán was one of the most distinguished scholars at the School of Clonard in the 7th century.Grattan-Flood, William. "St. Aileran." The Catholic Encyclopedia. Vol. 1. New York: Robert Appleton Company, 1907. 20 Sept. 2012 His early life is not recorded, but he was attracted to Clonard by the fame of Saint Finnián and his disciples. He became lector of the schoolAilerani Interpretatio Mystica Progenitorum Domini Iesu Christi in 650. He died of the Yellow Plague, and his death is recorded in the Annals of Ulster.Aileran Because of his knowledge of the works of Origen, Philo, St. Jerome, St. Augustine, and others, he was well versed in patristic literature. Works According to John Colgan, numerous works can be ascribed to Ailerán, including the Fourth Life of Saint Patrick, a Latin litany, and the Lives of Saint Brigid and Saint Féichín of Fore. Ailerán's best known work is his mystical interpretation of the Ancestry of Our Lord Jesus Christ, according to the genealogy of Jesus in Saint Matthew's Gospel. This was published in the Benedictine edition of the Fathers, and the editors said that they published it although Aileran was not a Benedictine, because he " unfoulded the meaning of the Sacred Scripture with so much learning and ingenuity that every student of the Sacred Volume and especially preachers of the Divine Word will regard the publication as most acceptable."Monasticism in Ireland Another work of his is titled A Short Moral Explanation of the Sacred Names, which could be a fragment of a larger work.

Hadit 🐭

"Hadit (sometimes Had) refers to a Thelemic deity. Hadit is the principal speaker of the second chapter of The Book of the Law (written or received by Aleister Crowley in 1904). He may refer to the serpent Apophis, the Kundalini, and the atman. Descriptions Hadit 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 and egg in which the DNA of man is carried, the Elixir Vitae. When juxtaposed with Nuit in The Book of the Law, Hadit represents each unique point-experience. These point-experiences in aggregate comprise the sum of all possible experience, Nuith. 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, Horus of Behdet (also known as the Behdeti). 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." The Book of the Law 1,3 Hadit is the Secret Seed. In The Book of the Law he says; "I am alone: there is no God where I am.".The Book of the Law II,23 He is "the flame that burns in every heart of man, and in the core of every star.".The Book of the Law II,6 He is identified with kundalini;the Old Comment to Liber AL vel Legis II:22 says this explicitly in The Book of the Law he says, "I am the secret Serpent coiled about to spring: in my coiling there is 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...".The Book of the Law II,26-27 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 samādhi. History The earlier, Egyptian version, went by the name of Heru-Behdeti or Horus of Behdet (Edfu), Haidith in Greek.see http://www.philae.nu/akhet/NetjeruH.html#Horus 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, a Dynasty 25 or 26 offering stele formerly in the Boulaq Museum, but now in the Egyptian Museum in Cairo, also known as the Stele 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."Kunsthistorisches Museum Vienna, online description of another wooden offering stele.

Slocum (crater) 🐭

"Oblique view from Apollo 17 Slocum is a small lunar impact crater in the southeastern part of the Mare Smythii. It lies near the eastern limb of the Moon, and from the Earth this section of the surface is viewed at a very oblique angle. This greatly limits the amount of detail that can be observed. In addition, libration of the Moon in its orbit can cause this area to be completely hidden from Earth. Nearby craters of note include Runge to the west-northwest, Warner to the west-southwest, and Swasey to the south- southeast. This is a roughly circular, bowl-shaped crater that is surrounded by lunar mare. It is not marked by any overlying craters of note. To the west and southwest of this crater is a rille in the surface of the mare. References Category:Impact craters on the Moon "
