Not alone at all

I guess I am not the only who finds the funny medieval language a bit forced.  I was able to find two alternate translations.  This one is a modern but bland:

Hail, Sun in the morning!
Spreading rosy fingers over the world,
Bringing new light and purpose to the day!
Welcome from the realm of night! 

This one maintains the Egyptian deities and uses modern language:

Hail, Ra in your triumph and strength!
Coursing through the heavens at sunrise!
Horus at the helm and Thoth at the prow.
Hail to you from the realm of night! 

I'm going to need to research who these deities are, though I know they are all forms of the Egyptian solar god as the sun travels across the sky during the day.  My understanding, after doing a bit of research, is that Crowley assigned the deities to the classically incorrect time of day, as Ra is associated with noon, not sunrise.  This is actually a good thing, as it shows that practitioners can adapt and change old rituals in order to develop something personally workable and meaningful.

The purpose of Liber Resh is for the magician to connect with the divine, via the classic Solar principle, by identifying with the Sun as it progresses across the heavens during the day. This regular, daily practice reminds the magician that he/she is a magician. And to draw spiritual sustenance or energy from the  sun / the divine.

It is fair to assume then, that Liber Resh is essentially a daily invocation to one's Higher Self, using the sun as a proxy, and is intended to ultimately put the magician not just in touch with his/her own Higher Self, but the Divine.  So the ritual itself should be malleable and personal, the real point being a simple focus of will to open one's awareness of the infinite and to doing the Great Work.

Well, it's time for this gal to go greet Khephra and go to sleep!
