Renowned esoteric author Manly P. Hall examines worldwide and age-old myths and symbolism of various creatures across the globe. The creatures inhabiting the water, air, and earth were held in veneration by all races of antiquity. Realizing that visible bodies are only symbols of invisible forces, the ancients worshiped the Divine Power through the lower kingdoms of Nature. Fishes, insects, animals, reptiles, and birds appear in the religious symbolism of nearly all nations, because the forms and habits of these creatures and the media in which they exist, closely relate them to the various generative and germinative powers of Nature, which were considered as prima-facie evidence of divine omnipresence.

In 1923, Achad published an edition of only 220 copies, of a series of hymns or poetic devotions, in a manner slightly reminiscent of Crowley's own emphatic style, aimed at adoring the Egyptian goddess Nuit (the number 220, being intended to align with the number of verses in Crowley's own Book of the Law). Achad titled his own book, Thirty-One Hymns to the Star Goddess. The goddess Nuit features prominently in the first chapter of the Book of the Law, and the many quotations attributed to the Star-Goddess in Achad's small collection have been taken directly from the Book of the Law.
