Basilides

Feast of Basilides, June 10 in Hermeneuticon at Hermetic Library

Basilides

Basilides appears in all versions of the Saints of Ecclesia Gnostica Catholica in Liber XV, published during Aleister Crowley's lifetime. Basilides is on the full list in all versions where his name appears, and is therefore a name celebrated only at performances when the full Saints Collect is read.
