Crowley also gives a different chronology, in which an invocation of Horus preceded the questioning. Lawrence Sutin says this ritual described Horus in detail, and could have given Rose the answers to her husband's questions.{{sfnp|Sutin|2000|p=120}}
 
As part of his 'test' for Rose, Crowley wrote that they visited the [[Bulaq]] Museum where Crowley asked her to point out an image of Horus. Much to Crowley's initial amusement, she passed by several common images of the god, and went upstairs. From across the room{{sfnp|Crowley|1991|p={{pn|date=November 2021}}}} Rose identified Horus on the [[stele of Ankh-ef-en-Khonsu]], then housed under inventory number 666 (since moved to the [[Egyptian Museum]] of Cairo, number A 9422). The stela would subsequently be known to Thelemites (adherents of Thelema) as the "Stele of Revealing".{{cnsfnp|date=June 2024Sutin|2000}}
 
On 20 March, Crowley invoked Horus, "with great success". Between 23 March and 8 April, Crowley had the [[Egyptian hieroglyphs|hieroglyphs]] on the stele translated. Also, Rose revealed that her "informant" was not Horus himself, but his messenger, Aiwass.{{cnsfnp|date=June 2024Kaczynski|2012}}
 
Finally, on 7 April, Rose gave Crowley his instructions—for three days he was to enter the "temple" and write down what he heard between noon and 1:00 P.M.{{cnsfnp|date=June 2024Booth|2001}}
