Ankh-ef-en-Khonsu I

Senior Lutea, writing in The Scarlet Letter, explains some of the words in his name: "A translation of the name might be close to the following: Ankh is both a tool and a symbol meaning "new life." The hyphen af is always part of another word that lends exclamatory force. The word, na is generally used as a preposition, such as "to, for, belonging to, through, or because." Khonsu was the adopted son of Amun and Mut from the Theban triad. His name comes from a word meaning, "to cross over" or "wanderer" or "he who traverses." So, his entire name may be translated as "the truth that has crossed over."" Lutea"s interpretation is a free one that Egyptologists would tend to reject. A modern Egyptological approach would translate the name Ankh-ef-en-Khonsu (ꜥnḫ-f-n-ḫnsw) as "He lives for Khonsu". The name is particularly common during the Third Intermediate and Late Periods. (Cairo A 9422 )is a painted, wooden offering stele, discovered in 1858 at the mortuary temple of Hatshepsut at Dayr al-Bahri by François Auguste Ferdinand Mariette. According to one translation of the stela done in the Thelemic perspective, it says of him: "..has left the multitudes and rejoined those who are in the light, he has opened the dwelling place of the stars. Now then, the deceased, Ankh-af-na-khonsu has gone forth by day in order to do everything that pleased him upon earth, among the living." or by a 1982 analysis, "deliverer of those who are in the sunshine, open for him the netherworld.

Lutea"s interpretation is a free one that Egyptologists would tend to reject.

A modern Egyptological approach would translate the name Ankh-ef-en-Khonsu (ꜥnḫ-f-n-ḫnsw) as "He lives for Khonsu".

The name is particularly common during the Third Intermediate and Late Periods. (Cairo A 9422 )is a painted, wooden offering stele, discovered in 1858 at the mortuary temple of Hatshepsut at Dayr al-Bahri by François Auguste Ferdinand Mariette.

According to one translation of the stela done in the Thelemic perspective, it says of him:

"..has left the multitudes and rejoined those who are in the light, he has opened the dwelling place of the stars. Now then, the deceased, Ankh-af-na-khonsu has gone forth by day in order to do everything that pleased him upon earth, among the living."

or by a 1982 analysis,

"deliverer of those who are in the sunshine, open for him the netherworld.

Indeed the Osiris Ankh-ef-en-Khonsu shall go forth by day to do that which he desires, all, upon earth, among the living."

The Book of the Law (I,36) says:

"My scribe Ankh-af-na-khonsu, the priest of the princes, shall not in one letter change this book

But lest there be folly, he shall comment thereupon by the wisdom of Ra-Hoor-Khu-lieutenant"

Kenneth Grant wrote that "Crowley claimed to have been a re-embodiment of the magical current represented by the priesthood to which Ankh-af-na-Khonsu belonged".
