Editing Solar deity (section)

== New religious movements ==
Solar deities are revered in certain [[new religious movements]].

=== Theosophy ===
The primary local deity in [[Theosophy]] is the Solar Logos, "the consciousness of the sun".<ref>Powell, A.E. ''The Solar System'' London:1930 The Theosophical Publishing House (A Complete Outline of the Theosophical Scheme of Evolution). Lucifer, represented by the sun, the light.</ref>

=== Thelema ===
[[Thelema]] adapts its gods and goddesses from Ancient Egyptian religion, particularly those named in the [[Stele of Ankh-ef-en-Khonsu#Interpretation by Aleister Crowley and Thelema|Stele of Revealing]], among whom is the Sun god [[Ra-Hoor-Khuit]], a form of [[Horus]]. Ra-Hoor-Khuit is one of the principal deities described in [[Aleister Crowley]]'s ''[[Liber AL vel Legis]]''.{{sfnmp|1a1=Crowley|1y=1976|2a1=Crowley|2y=1997}}

In Thelema, Ra-Hoor-Khuit represents the active, warlike aspect of the solar deity Horus, embodying the principles of strength and power. The Stele of Revealing, a funerary tablet from the 26th dynasty of Egypt, plays a central role in Crowley's cosmology, symbolizing the New [[Aeon of Horus]]. This Aeon is characterized by the themes of [[individualism]], [[self-realization]], and the discovery of one's [[True Will]].{{sfn|Kaczynski|2012}}

One of the key practices in Thelema is the daily performance of ''[[Liber Resh vel Helios]]'', a set of solar adorations composed by Crowley. These rituals are performed at dawn, noon, sunset, and midnight, each directed towards different aspects of the Sun—[[Ra]], [[Hathor|Ahathoor]], [[Atum|Tum]], and [[Khepri|Khephra]], respectively. The practice aims to align the practitioner with the natural cycles of the Sun and to integrate the physical and spiritual dimensions of existence in accordance with Thelemic principles.{{sfn|DuQuette|2003}}

The adoration of Ra-Hoor-Khuit and the performance of ''Liber Resh'' are intended to serve as daily reminders of the central Thelemic tenet, "Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law."{{sfn|Crowley|1976|loc=ch. I, v. 40.}} By engaging in these rituals, [[List of Thelemites|Thelemites]] seek to harmonize their personal will with the divine will, achieving greater spiritual enlightenment and alignment with the cosmic order.{{sfn|Kaczynski|2012}}

=== Kurozumikyō ===
[[Kurozumikyō]], founded during the 19th century, is a [[Sect Shinto|Shinto]]-based [[Japanese new religion]] centered on solar worship. The solar deity [[Amaterasu]] is worshipped. Everyday at sunrise, the sun is worshipped at the Kurozumikyō headquarters on Shintō-zan (神道山, or "Mount Shinto") in [[Okayama]], Japan.<ref>{{cite book | last=Hardacre | first=Helen | title=Kurozumikyo and the New Religions of Japan | publisher=Princeton University Press | publication-place=Princeton | date=1988-11-21 | isbn=0-691-02048-5}}</ref>
