Besides the reference to Rabelais, an analysis by Dave Evans shows similarities to The Beloved of Hathor and Shrine of the Golden Hawk, [33] a play by Florence Farr. [34] Evans says this may result from the fact that "both Farr and Crowley were thoroughly steeped in Golden Dawn imagery and teachings", [35] and that Crowley probably knew the ancient materials that inspired some of Farr's motifs.
