Aeon of Horus

The Aeon of Horus, which began in the early 20th century, is considered the current era in Thelemic philosophy. This Aeon is marked by a significant shift in spiritual and societal paradigms, emphasizing self-realization, individualism, and the pursuit of one's True Will. The child god Horus symbolizes this era, representing a break from past dogmas and the dawn of a new age of enlightenment and spiritual awakening.[1]

The Aeon card in the Thoth Tarot deck, designed by Crowley and painted by Lady Frieda Harris, represents the Aeon of Horus. The card, traditionally known as "Judgement" in other decks, symbolizes the transformative and revelatory nature of this new aeon. It depicts Horus and Hoor-paar-kraat, reflecting the themes of rebirth, transformation, and the dawning of a new era of consciousness and spiritual awakening in Thelemic philosophy.[2][3][4]
