"(O) my heart of my mother [2 times], (O) my heart while I existed upon earth, do not stand against me as a witness, do not oppose me in in the tribunal, do not be hostile against me in the presence of the Great God, Lord of the West. Although I have united (myself) to the land to the great western side of Heaven, may I flourish upon earth!"

The designation of this object as the Stele of Revealing was given in April 1904 by the [[occultist]] [[Aleister Crowley]], in connection with his [[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]].
