“The three “deities” of The Book of the Law are the main figures that appear on the Stèle of Revealing; they express the abstract dynamics of the universe. They are Nuit (sometimes spelled “Nu” or “Nuith”), the goddess of infinite space, the personification of an infinitely expanded universe;42 Hadit (sometimes spelled “Had” or “Hadith”), the god at the heart of Nuit, the personification of an infinitely contracted point;43 and their child, Ra-Hoor-Khuit (sometimes spelled “Ra-Hoor-Khu-it,” “Ra-Hoor-Khu,” “Ra Hoor Khut,” “Ra-Hoor-Khut”), who, on the Stèle, is the hawk-headed god enthroned behind an altar of offerings. These three deities are, in a very real way, the personifications of the key elements of projective geometry: Nuit the periphery, Hadit the center, and Ra-Hoor-Khuit the transcendent “being” that is created when it is recognized that the periphery and center simultaneously occupy the same position. As Nuit is infinite out-ness, and Hadit is infinite in-ness, they are both equally everywhere and locked in infinite embrace. This is lovemaking on a cosmic scale, and Ra-Hoor-Khuit is the product of this union.” • Understanding Aleister Crowley's Thoth Tarot. Lon Milo Duquette
