“I believe that the Holy Guardian Angel is […] something more than a man, possibly a being who has already passed through the stage of humanity, and his peculiarly intimate relationship with his client is that of friendship, of community, of brotherhood, or Fatherhood. He is not, let me say with emphasis, a mere abstraction from yourself; and that is why I have insisted rather heavily that the term ‘Higher Self’ implies ‘a damnable heresy and a dangerous delusion.’”
— Aleister Crowley, Chapter XLIII: The Holy Guardian Angel is not the ‘Higher Self’ but an Objective Individual

“What then is the formula of the initiation of Horus? It will no longer be that of the Man, through Death. It will be the natural growth of the Child.

— Aleister Crowley, Liber Samekh Theurgia Goetia Summa (Congressus Cum Daemone) sub figurâ DCCC

— Aleister Crowley, Chapter XXI: Of Black Magic, of the Main Types of the Operations of Magick Art, and of the Powers of the Sphinx

“And his Holy Guardian Angel shall appear unto him, yea, his Holy Guardian Angel shall appear unto him, so that he shall be wrapt away into the Mystery of Holiness.”
— Aleister Crowley, Liber VIII
