Theta auroras are aptly named after the greek letter theta that is distinctively represented when the aurora is viewed from a distance above our polar caps.
Cumnock confirmed a previously held belief that the occurrence of this type of aurora requires a solar wind interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) that is oriented northward for a period of hours together with a change in the direction of the By (east-west) component of the IMF (from positive to negative or negative to positive).
Theta aurora are the most stable of several different types of "moving auroral arcs." Theta auroras can be observed at very weak intensities without a By sign change (provided the Bz component is strongly northward), but are most dynamic and luminous during a By sign change.

Crowley may also be referring to the fact that Theta looks a bit like a sun symbol (circle with a dot in the middle), while Sigma is sometimes rendered as a crescent -- that is in fact the most probable explanation for the cryptic entry under the number 209.
The original was too light in photocopy, and the retracing of the entry in ink failed to distinguish the middle three or four letters.
The number value of this triplet of letters, obtained either by direct addition or through the addition of the numbers of the names of the letters spelled in full is so remote from the value in the text that the entry can only be considered incomplete.

We also use theta to denote the angle measure, which is defined to be a positive number if the angle opens counterclockwise, and is a negative number if the angle opens clockwise.
We define the trigonometric functions of theta by first labelling the sides of our triangle: the longest side is the Hypotenuse, and the other two sides are labelled Adjacent and Opposite according to whether they touch theta.
The most common method is to use reference angles, but a far simpler method is to situate our triangle in the x-y-plane so that the angle theta is in standard position, and let (x,y) be the vertex of the triangle that is at the "end" of the terminal ray.
