The title Stele 666 is from the catalogue of the Boulaq Museum in Cairo where the tablet is on display.
The symbols of the stele combine to form a talisman that was believed to grant the Priest the power to transcend death through identification with the transpersonal archetypes of the supreme deities who represented the infinite stars of space and the solar flame at the core of every living being.
The paraphrase of the hieroglyphs of Stele 666 was prepared in 1904 under the supervision of Egyptologist Brugseh Bey at the Boulaq Museum in Cairo, and it is reprinted in Aleister Crowley, The Holy Books of Thelema (NY: Weiser, 1983).
