'''[[Christoph Haizmann]]''' (1647 - 1700) was a Bavarian painter active in Austria. He is remembered for signing a [[diabolical pact]] with [[Satan]] and the subsequent [[exorcist|exorcism]] to free him from the pact.
The '''[[Stele of Ankh-ef-en-Khonsu]]''' (also known as the '''Stele of Revealing''') is a painted, wooden offering stele located in Cairo, Egypt. The designation of this object as the "Stele of Revealing" was given in April 1904 by the [[occultist]] [[Aleister Crowley]], in connection with his ''[[The Book of the Law]]''. According to Crowley, his wife Rose had already reported a revelation from the god [[Horus]], through his messenger [[Aiwass]]. The couple went to the newly opened Egyptian Museum (where the stela had been moved), to see if she could recognize Horus on Monday, March 21, 1904. Rose recognized an image of the god on this painted stele, which at the time bore the catalogue number [[666]], a number holding religious significance in [[Thelema]].


On September 24th, 1668, [[the Devil]] drew near and asked Christoph why he was so upset and sad. Christoph answered that he missed his father, and there was no one else in this world to care for him. The Devil promised “to help in every way and to lend a hand.” He then transformed into his true form, that of a ferocious scaled dragon with the face of a human.


Showing Christoph his true form and swearing to assume the role of his deceased father was enough to finally convince the despondent man to sign a [[diabolical pact]]. Christoph wrote the pact in black ink in his native German language. It was short and simple: “I Christoph Haizmann, am writing to this Gentleman (the Devil) to be his son for the next nine years.”

Stelae of Ankh-af-na-khonsu.jpg

The Stele of Ankh-ef-en-Khonsu (also known as the Stele of Revealing) is a painted, wooden offering stele located in Cairo, Egypt. The designation of this object as the "Stele of Revealing" was given in April 1904 by the occultist Aleister Crowley, in connection with his The Book of the Law. According to Crowley, his wife Rose had already reported a revelation from the god Horus, through his messenger Aiwass. The couple went to the newly opened Egyptian Museum (where the stela had been moved), to see if she could recognize Horus on Monday, March 21, 1904. Rose recognized an image of the god on this painted stele, which at the time bore the catalogue number 666, a number holding religious significance in Thelema.
