Occult terminology. It is not apparent how this supposed magical formula is notable. Most of the article is not about the formula, but about other aspects of this belief system. The part that is about the formula is sourced only to the works of one Kenneth Grant, an "English ceremonial magician, novelist, and advocate of the Thelemic religion", i.e., not an independent reliable source. Most other cited works seem similarly unreliable and "in-universe". The article creator has since been blocked as a sock. Sandstein 22:53, 27 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Weak Delete or redirect to Nema Andahadna. I am seeing a far amount of coverage in Thelemic books such as How to Become a Modern Magus: A Manual for Magicians of All Schools and Overthrowing the Old Gods: Aleister Crowley and the Book of the Law by Don Webb and Maat Magick: A Guide to Self-Initiation and The Way of Mystery: Magick, Mysticism and Self-Transcendence by Margaret E. Ingalls but didn't find any sources that mention it in the context of discussing or analyzing the system. Eluchil404 (talk) 00:17, 2 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Delete An article about a "magical formula" apparently used in Thelema, apparently an esoteric system of belief of some sort. No indication that this magical formula is, as such, notable. Tgvarrt (talk) 23:41, 3 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
