Anywhere did this name come from? And what if what on earth does it mean or can it vent us about the origin of the author?
One thing not bumpily intimate is that "AIWASS" was in fact a middle-of-the-road identify, an English transliteration of an noticeably Turkish word, still conclusively of Armenian origin, which described a clear fastidious of servant in the keep fit of rolling in it and reliable Turkish families. The "AIWASS" had a diagram of match duties, one of which, charmingly was as a ambassador.
We read for face the in arrears demarcation of Turkish women and their escorts, published 1877 in London Society:
"AT THAT Daytime, Cloaked AND 'YASHMAKED"' GROUPS, PRECEDED BY AN '"AIWASS"' (Promoter) vehicle a paper lantern, omission about the in general silent streets and lanes of the Mussulman conurbation".
And after that we stand this superfluous tangible sharpness of the word in an 1886 book, Eastern Life and Normal":
"The aiwass is the resident useful servant of the whole ["Turkish"] house; assured are employed in terrific families: they capture the dinners, bloodbath commissions, and do best of the call work. Aiwass are usually called upon to escort parties of the women and children who are not entitled to anticipation the investigate of a lalla. These aiwass are habitually Armenians, free servants picture pay..."
As a result, we see that that previously to 1904, the word Aiwass (TRANSLITERATED The same AYVAZ) was ahead of associate with the inkling of existence a ambassador, or rescue a tangible service.
Another, even superfluous interesting, meaning for the word is one associate once more awfully with Armenians, and this is the inkling of a servant who brings the harvest to the flat terrain from the kitchen. In other words, it plan "WAITER".
We read, in 1854, in Chamber's journal of legendary literature of an ayvaz "OR SERVANT ATTENDING ON THE Companionship", and in 1858, a transnational glossary explains that an ayvaz is "A SCULLION WHO ATTENDS AT MEALS IN Turkey, All told AN ARMENIAN." From The Sultan and His Population published in 1857, we read that at a Turkish flat terrain "Diverse Provision OF Rations ARE In order Located BY THE AYVAZ OR SCULLION."
The same, a diagram of mid-20th-century books on Turkish theater inkling out that detached house script intensify an Armenian waiter or butler called an ayvaz.
Now, let us detection no matter which from the origin myth of Thelema. Crowley tells us that it was Rose in fact who chief came participating in trace with the spirit entities that would finally contemplate as the paddock of Liber AL. It was Rose who meant, menacingly, and irksomely (TO CROWLEY), "THEY ARE WAITING FOR YOU". A pair of days considering, Crowley recorded in his autobiography that Rose had revealed to him "THE WAITER WAS HORUS." He interpretation that the use of that word, "WAITER", may stand been "Another Sneer at", superficially on his own part in wary Rose, but it seems he may perhaps stand and probably did give out this grumble to Rose, and maybe even used that sneer "WAITER" to reduce in importance to her grass. Of course it is possible that Rose herself used the word "WAITER".
A few days considering, Crowley is not individual about the calendar day, Rose corrected his understanding pertaining to the name of her grass. Yes, it was Horus who was the ideas deity, but he had sent an Secular ambassador to actually opening to Rose, and finally Crowley. And that messenger's name was Aiwass.
Crowley, in Equinox of the Gods, indicates that name was exotic to him, and that he imagined Rose asset stand ended it up like it sounded no matter which all but "AIWA", the Arabic for "YES". But it whichever sounded fussily all but aiwass, the Turkish or Armenian word for a "Promoter" or "WAITER".
Now, you asset condition, what would an Armenian waiter be put it on in Egypt? As it turns out, Crowley in Confessions describes an encounter he had with an aiwass, an Armenian waiter, in the sphere of an prior trip to Egypt:
"I reached Aden on the ninth. It indigence be a greatly grisly place to dwell in. As I was to land in Egypt, I had to be quarantined for a day at Moses' Wells, contract existence that one indigence be eleven days out from Bombay, in put on record of persist. Moses' Wells is the best repulsive place I stand ever been in, with the possible imperviousness of Gibraltar. I meaning in my autobiography that the harvest was "BEASTLY, AND Antagonistic, AND Unsatisfactorily Costly". If I do faster form, it was fit to be eaten by a Greek and served by an Armenian."
And as Crowley tells us, in 1904 he and his next of kin had an entourage of servants in Egypt, and so multiple were they that he himself did not support street of them and their names and duties. They had a figurine servant for that, whose name he can straightforwardly slightly detection, and acceptably, in a Victorian firm, even in Egypt, his next of kin would stand been superfluous potential to stand had some knowledge of the servants and their tasks.
It may stand even been the put on record that Crowley employed an Armenian waiter, deficient his existence breathing of it. And Rose, by chance miffed that Crowley had ended fun of her by talent her grass a "WAITER", contracted a few days considering to side him fussily that. Of course Crowley may stand been ended breathing of the jesting, or ended up the name himself as part of a jesting to give out in the myth.
When we do know is that the word aiwass, or as it was whichever transliterated, aiwaz or even ayvaz, was not a new or concealed word, even in English, especially in the part of the world in which Crowley encountered Aiwaz.
Furthermore, the join of the word to Armenians in particular may stand no matter which to do with the fact that Aiwass or Ayvaz is an Armenian name, by all accounts of some yearn for standing, still it was claimed the extraction originator had come from Gallicia, north of the Carpathians.
