In
Golden Dawn ritual, a “Great Angel” set over the operations of the order’s secret wisdom. Hru was
invoked in the ceremony used to consecrate the Vault of the
Adepti, and is also mentioned in the Golden Dawn Tarot papers; as a result of this latter point, he is called upon by many
Tarot practitioners, in and out of the Golden Dawn tradition, for guidance in
divination. His name is identical to that of the Egyptian deity
Horus (ancient Egyptian
hru); It has been suggested that he is the angelic guardian of the Golden Dawn tradition as a whole.
