- Here are the results of the Crowley's Favorite God Poll.
- The numbers represent the number of books, essays, letters, rituals, etc.
- that deal with the God in Question, rather than an absolute number of
- mentions. Offhand, I would say that Egyptian was his favorite flavour, and
- Horus his favorite God, though Ra and Mercury would appear to Place and Show.
- I threw a couple of Norse Pantheon types in so as to make the Luciferians feel
- better. Also, strictly speaking, I suppose that Set is part of the Egyptian
- Pantheon too, but the number of works dealing with him would not significantly
- affect the Egyptian Factor anyway.

- Caveats: I do not represent this to be an exhaustive search. Exhausting,
- yes, but Crowley's writings fill many shelves and filing cabinets, and the
- time involved (not to mention some travel) would be prohibitive to getting a
- complete answer inside of a year. This sampling is only from material that has
- been recorded electomagnetically. Luckily, most publishers of current editions
- have done their typesetting on computers, and so we have the majority of
- Crowley's books now in print in the index. It also means that his early
- poetry, now almost completely out of print and/or demand, is not represented
- as well as might be hoped.
