Tzaddi is the letter of The Emperor, the Trump IV, and He is the Star, the Trump XVII. Aquarius and Aries are therefore counterchanged, revolving on the pivot of Pisces, just as, in the Trumps VIII and XI, Leo and Libra do about Virgo.

The historian Ronald Hutton noted that some of Crowley's writings could be used to argue that he was an atheist, [234] while some support the idea that he was a polytheist, [243] and others would bolster the idea that he was a mystical monotheist. [250] On the basis of the teachings in The Book of the Law, Crowley described a pantheon of three deities taken from the ancient Egyptian pantheon: Nuit, Hadit, and Ra-Hoor-Khuit. [222] In 1928, he made the claim that all true deities were derived from this trinity.
