Talk:A∴A∴

Cite please? Or is this simply based on the Illuminatus! books? -- The Anome 20:18, 26 Nov 2003 (UTC)

It is mentioned in Aleister Crowley's Book Of Lies if I remember correctly. -- DenisMoskowitz

Some References

The A.'.A.'. is mentioned on the Ordo Templi Orientis's site as an associate of that organization. It also appears to have its own website at www.outcol.org. Although that site's main page initially appears to be for "Outer College Curriculum Resources", the A.'.A.'. is frequently mentioned in the sub-pages and at the bottom of the main page itself.

Disputed

Anonymoyus user User:67.48.77.208 placed the disputed template on this article and made the following comment which I am moving here to talk:

According to "The Magick of Thelema: A Handbook of the Rituals of Aleister Crowley," by Lon Milo Duquette (Weiser 1993), A.'.A.'. does NOT stand for Argenteum Astrum. On p. 216, the author states that this is commonly believed, but that he has "been informed in no uncertain terms that this is not the case."

I have looked at the reference you refer to, which appears as a footnote. It would seem to me that Lon Milo Duquette is expressing personal opinion based on the idea that the A.'. A.'. has other secret meanings, which with Crowley is undoubtedly the case. This does however not change the fact that Crowley himself used the Silver Star reference and connected this name to the passage every man and every woman is a star in Liber AL. --Solar 13:53, 12 Dec 2004 (UTC)
