Horus Egyptian Ring given by Aleister Crowley to Austin Osman Spare's widow for sale on ebay

The style of the ring is Egyptian with the Three Greek Letters on the back – Iota, Alpha, Omega which fits the Egyptian toning of I – A – O.
I bought this ring from UNIQUE2U who was selling the Gerald Gardner Witches Mill Collection when I contacted him over 10 years ago to buy this ring
The following links were sent to me when I asked about the authenticity regarding the ring from the previous owner's estate Tim Moroney who's website is still running:
http://tim-maroney.livejournal.com/45789.html - http://womzilla.livejournal.com/16648.html and may note that some links are missing.
Historically the ring was given by Aleister Crowley to Austin Osman Spare's widow then sold to The Park Antique Centre in Nottingham - the original letter of authenticity is included.
The pair seemed have a dynamic relationship and together composed Now for Reality which is included. The journey was a Celestial and Bestial identification using forces of Sexuality navigated by the operator who has developed themselves to the point of having found their True Identity and True Will.
A copy of the joint work by Crowley and Spare “NOW FOR REALITY” is being included to compliment the ring
$30,000 AUD. Hmmm

The Artist Formerly Known As Captain Beefheart

"The Artist Formerly Known As Captain Beefheart" is a BBC documentary special about Captain Beefheart, hosted by the British radio DJ John Peel. The documentary was filmed in 1993, around the same time the BBC Television Tribute was filmed and was originally also intended to be a BBC 2 Late Show Special. Originally it would have been broadcast in 1994, but since the "BBC Late Show" was cancelled around this time production of the documentary was halted for a while. Eventually it premiered on BBC 2 on August 19, 1997, in the series "Rock Cults".
The documentary is narrated by John Peel and features archive footage and interviews with Frank Zappa, John French, Matt Groening, Jimmy Carl Black, Ry Cooder, Bruce Fowler, Doug Moon and Eric Drew Feldman. Beefheart himself wasn't interviewed. Zappa talks specifically about his teenage friendship with Beefheart, the production of Trout Mask Replica and the Bongo Fury period.
The documentary was repeated on BBC 2 on August 29, 1999, as part of a special tribute night to John Peel
