Delivery and privacy
Times follow the saved place and dawn setting, including daylight-saving changes. Unavailable polar events are skipped, as is a reminder delayed by more than ten minutes. Messages expire at the delivery service after five minutes, and an interrupted send can be missed rather than retried as a duplicate.
Your browser’s notification service carries encrypted messages. Saving renews a 90-day schedule. At expiry, or when the push service reports that the subscription is gone, its saved data is deleted. Clearing browser storage can remove this device’s management key; if these controls stop working, block notifications in browser settings. No journal, birth chart or AI service is involved.
At each station
Face the named direction. The 1911 text asks for the sign of your grade and the spoken invocation, then the sign of silence, the adoration taught by one’s superior, and meditation. Section 6 recommends assuming the form of the deity being addressed.
If you follow a taught version, use its signs and closing adoration: the 1911 publication does not provide a single set of gestures for every practitioner or print the later closing verses. The directions below are the ritual’s own, including in the southern hemisphere, not a compass bearing to the visible Sun.
Dawn, face east
Ra
The beginning of the visible journey
Hail unto Thee who art Ra in Thy rising, even unto Thee who art Ra in Thy strength, who travellest over the Heavens in Thy bark at the Uprising of the Sun.
Tahuti standeth in His splendour at the prow, and Ra-Hoor abideth at the helm.
Hail unto Thee from the Abodes of Night!
The image and the meaning
Reading this station
Resh addresses Ra through rising and strength. The boat is already moving: the first station locates you within a continuing daily journey, rather than asking you to manufacture a special feeling.
A historical image
A falcon-headed solar figure is one historical image you can study. The Carlos Museum’s stela of Nehemya depicts Re-Horakhty with a solar disk and cobra. This related Egyptian form is an image reference; the Resh text itself does not prescribe the figure’s exact crown, posture or colours.
Solar noon, face south
Ahathoor
The fullness of the day
Hail unto Thee who art Ahathoor in Thy triumphing, even unto Thee who art Ahathoor in Thy beauty, who travellest over the Heavens in Thy bark at the Mid-course of the Sun.
Tahuti standeth in His splendour at the prow, and Ra-Hoor abideth at the helm.
Hail unto Thee from the Abodes of Morning!
The image and the meaning
Reading this station
Ahathoor is the name used here for Hathor. Crowley’s station joins triumph and beauty at the middle of the solar course. Our reflective question: what deserves your full attention while the day is still unfolding?
A historical image
Hathor has several historical forms. The British Museum’s relief EA649 shows her as a goddess with a headdress whose platform supported cow horns and a solar disk. Study the specific image without treating one depiction as a universal costume.
Sunset, face west
Tum
A conscious ending
Hail unto Thee, who art Tum in Thy setting, even unto Thee who art Tum in Thy joy, who travellest over the Heavens in Thy bark at the Down-going of the Sun.
Tahuti standeth in His splendour at the prow, and Ra-Hoor abideth at the helm.
Hail unto Thee from the Abodes of Day!
The image and the meaning
Reading this station
The text names joy at the setting. Read that pairing slowly: an ending can be acknowledged without being treated as a defeat. That is our meditation prompt, not a translation of an Egyptian doctrine.
A historical image
Tum is the form of the name Atum used in this ritual. On Museo Egizio’s stela Cat. 1523, Atum appears in human form, wearing a kilt and the double crown. The object gives you a concrete historical reference for the figure, separate from later ritual colour schemes.
Solar midnight, face north
Khephra
The hidden part of the cycle
Hail unto Thee who art Khephra in Thy hiding, even unto Thee who art Khephra in Thy silence, who travellest over the Heavens in Thy bark at the Midnight Hour of the Sun.
Tahuti standeth in His splendour at the prow, and Ra-Hoor abideth at the helm.
Hail unto Thee from the Abodes of Evening.
The image and the meaning
Reading this station
Resh places Khephra at midnight and speaks of hiding and silence. The station asks attention of the part of the cycle that is out of view. “Hidden, not extinguished” is our short reflective phrase for it.
A historical image
Khephra is associated here with the Egyptian scarab form, commonly named Khepri. The British Museum cautiously identifies its monumental scarab EA74 as probably representing Khepri. A museum object can inform an image; it does not establish Crowley’s ritual assignment or a required wing posture.
