To Mega Therion
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
To Mega Therion (Τὸ Μέγα Θηρίον) is Greek for "The Great Beast" and is a reference to the Book of Revelation:
- Revelation 13:1 And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast [θηρίον, therion] rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy. 2 And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority.
The name does not actually occur in the form "To Mega Therion" in the Greek text of the Book of Relevation, but the title was taken by the English occultist Aleister Crowley as his motto for the grade of Magus of the A.'.A.'.. Under this motto and pseudonym Aleister Crowley composed his masterwork, Magick in Theory and Practice.
