Hadit

Offerings & Symbols
- A single small point of light, like one candle flame
- A compass point image
- Something representing a single, clear focus
Culture: Thelema (founded by Aleister Crowley, early 20th century) Domain: The infinitely small point, individual will
Hadit is Nuit's complementary principle in Thelema, representing the infinitely small point of individual consciousness and will, in contrast to Nuit's infinite expansiveness; together they form a core duality in Thelemic cosmology, with the individual will (Hadit) moving through infinite possibility (Nuit).
Associations
Individual will, focused point of consciousness, complementary duality with Nuit.

- Clarify and commit to one specific, focused intention
