Carl Kellner appears in all versions of the Saints of Ecclesia Gnostica Catholica in Liber XV, published during Aleister Crowley's lifetime. Carl Kellner is not on the short list in all versions where his name appears, and is therefore a name celebrated only at performances when the entire Saints Collect is read.
