Silly person question of the day ...
On Atu XVII The Star there is (as Crowley describes in BoT) the Seven Pointed Star of Venus. Now in all my reading about the Star of Venus (Star of Ishtar) is is described as an 8 pointed star (and sometime later a 5 pointed star). My question is why does Crowley dispense with the 8th point. I get the stuff about the Waratah Blossom and its structure (Atu XI). I'm wondering if I'm missing some obvious moment of change or explanation for that change. Certainly on the RWS The Star features 8 pointed Stars (of Venus). Anyone?
Thanks for your indulgence,
