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]].

The [[Abrahamic religion]]s all recognize Gabriel as an [[angel]]ic spirit. Many [[Christianity|Christian]] traditions — including Catholicism, Eastern Orthodoxy, and Anglicanism — also revere Gabriel as a [[saint]].
