In a way it's like the practice of substituting the name Aiwass in place of a persons own HGA name.

And that's the same reasoning behind Crowley's standard test in the Neophyte exam. As part of that exam the aspirant is required to skry the qliphoth of their own sun sign.

Not necessarilly. There is no exam or testing of this material at 3=8. It is provided as another 'tool' that may or may not be useful to the particular needs of the aspirant at that time. (The seeds planted here may flower later on.) However the 3=8 still needs some degree of familiarity with the material.
