Nuit
| Nuit (female, passive), with Babalon (female, active), Hadit (male, active), Therion (male, passive), is one of the gods/goddesses (the God matrix) worshiped by the Saturn cult in Aleister Crowley's religion Thelema. Her father is Chaos (worshiped in chaos magic). The night sky with stars was worshiped by the Egyptians as female Nut with Geb as phallic male earth god. Geb and Nut were children of Shu and Tefnut, children of self created god Atum. Every night Nuit swallowed the sun Ra to give birth to it in the morning so she was depicted on tombs as pharao's saw the journey to the underworld as the death-rebirth process of the sun. They also worshiped Isis as the holy cow Hathor, mother of Horus. |  |
During night the moon is the brightest object in the sky. Babalon (female, active) is a manifestation of Nuit. Nuit and Hadit represent yin and yang, opposites water (blue) and fire (red), phallus and cup, the infinite circle and point consciousness.
Aleister Crowley wrote the Book of the Law (Liber AL) in 1904 (Babalon contains Al=El, Saturn) after an epiphany at the Stele of Revealing with Horus and Nuit (=the Aeon card, Nuit and Hadit as winged sun in union). He was trained to play the role of new John Dee who used a heptagon (seven pointed star) as the Seal of God in his Enochian divination-cryptography system.
In magic rituals Thelemites evoke Babalon (female, active) in the west, Hadit (male, active) in the south, Nuit (female, passive) in the north and Therion (the Beast, male, passive) in the east.
