January 4 - March 4, 1946 E.V.

Introduction

A note on the underlying philosophy.  The presentage is under the influence of the force called, in magical terminology,Horus.  This force relates to fire, Mars, and the sun, that is, topower, violence, and energy.  It also relates to a child, being innocent(i.e., undifferentiated).  Its manifestations may be noted in thedestruction of old institutions and ideas, the discovery and liberationof new energies, and the trend towards power governments, war, homosexuality,infantilism, and schizophrenia.

This force is completely blind, depending upon the menand women in whom it manifests and who guide it.  Obviously, its guidancenow tends towards catastrophe.

The catastrophic trend is due to our lack of understandingof our own natures.  The hidden lusts, fears, and hatreds resultingfrom the warping of the love urge, which underlay the natures of all Westernpeoples, have taken a homicidal and suicidal direction.

This impasse is broken by the incarnation of another sortof force, called BABALON.  The nature of this force relates to love,understanding, and dionysian freedom, and is the necessary counterbalanceor correspondence to the manifestation of Horus.

It is indicated that this force is actually incarnatein some living woman, as the result of the described magical operation. A more basic matter, however, is the indication that this force is incarnatein all men and women, and needs only to be invoked to free the spirit fromthe debris of the old aeon, and to direct the blind force of Horus intoconstructive channels of understanding and love.  The methods of thisinvocation are described in the text.

The background of this material may be found in the Bookof the Law, the Comment thereon, and other writings of Aleister Crowley;also in various magical, anthropological, psychological, and philosophicaltexts.  These are all necessary to an understanding and use of thematerial.

One further point.  It should be remembered thatall human activities, after the vital functions are fulfilled, arise fromthe need to love or to be loved.  It is therefore quite literallytrue that in understanding (i.e.  that which embraces all categoriesof love) is all power given.  A grasp of the principle of bipolarityshould make this clear.

With this crude and rudimentary philosophical discourse,then, I present the Book of Babalon:
 

A.  Conception

I decided upon the use of the Enochian Tablets obtainedby Dr.  Dee and Edward Kelley, employing the *n*n*n square of theAir Tablet.  The technique was approximately as follows:

(January 4, 1946, 9:00 PM)

1. Prepared and consecrated Air Dagger.  (The other magicalweapons were previously prepared.  This dagger served as the specialtalisman of the operation.)
2. Prepared Enochian Air Tablet on virgin parchment.
3. Prepared Parchment Talisman
4. Rituals as follows:
1. Invoking Pentagram of Air.
2. Invocation of Bornless One.
3. Conjuration of Air.
4. Consecration of Air Dagger.
5. Key Call of third Aire.
6. Invocation of God and King of Aire.
7. Invocation of Six Seniors.
8. Invocation of (RZDA) by *n*n*n and (EXARP), to visible appearance.
9. Invocation of wand with material basis on talisman.
10. Invocation with dagger.
11. License to depart, purification, and banishing.

Note.  I have had little experience with phenomenaof this sort.  Magically speaking, it usually represents "breaks"in the operation, indicating imperfect technique.  Actually, in anymagical operation there should be no phenomena but the willed result.

I banished with a magical sword, and it disappeared. His right arm was paralyzed for the rest of the night.

Jan 15.

The feeling of tension and unease continued for four days. Then, on January 18, at sunset, while the Scribe and I were on the Mojavedesert, the feeling of tension suddenly snapped.  I turned to himand said, "it is done," in absolute certainty that the operation was accomplished. I returned home, and found a young woman answering the requirements waitingfor me.  She is describable as an air of fire type with bronze redhair, fiery and subtle, determined and obstinate, sincere and perverse,with extraordinary personality, talent, and intelligence.

During the period of January 19 to February 27 I invokedthe Goddess BABALON with the aid of my magical partner, as was proper toone of my grade.
 

B.  Communications

1. Yea, it is I, BABALON.
2. And this is my book, that is the fourth chapter of the Bookof the Law, He [ed.  Heh] completing the Name, for I am out of NUITby HORUS, the incestuous sister of RA-HOOR-KHUIT.

35. And let her be in all things wise, and sure, and excellent.

61. Yea, my adept, the Black Pilgrimage.  Thou shalt beaccursed, and this is the nature of the curse.  Thou shalt publishthe secret matter of the adepts thou knowest, withholding no word of it,in an appendix to this my Book.  So they shall cry fool, liar, sot,traducer, betrayer.  Thou art not glad thou meddled with magick?
62. There is no other way, dear fool, it is the eleventh hour.
63. The seal of my Brother is upon the earth, and His Avataris before you.  There is threshing of wheat and a trampling of grapesthat shall not cease until the truth be known unto the least of men.
64. But you who do not accept, you who see beyond, reach outyour hands my children and reap the world in the hour of your harvest.
65. Gather together in the covens as of old, whose number iseleven, that is also my number.  Gather together in public, in songand dance and festival.  Gather together in secret, be naked and shamelessand rejoice in my name.

C.  Birth

March 2, 1946 E.V.

THE SCRIBE:  "The Angel of TARO.  A three dayretirement to greet her.  Purify thyself.  The symbol is sevenby three.  It is BABALON.  Keep secret.  The communicationsare sacred."

"These are the preparations.  Green gold cloth, foodfor the Beast, upon a hidden platter, back of the altar.  Discloseonly when the doors are bolted."

"Transgression is death."

"Back of main altar.  Prepare instantly.  Lightthe first flame at 10 PM, March 2, 1946."

"The year of BABALON is 4063."

"Beware of the use of profaned rituals."

"She is flame of life, power of darkness, she destroyswith a glance, she may take thy soul.  She feeds upon the death ofmen."

"Beautiful--Horrible."

The Scribe, now pale and sweating, rested awhile, thencontinued:

The First Ritual

"A plate of food, unsalted.  An altar cloth hithertoundefiled."

"Make a box of blackness at ten o'clock.  Smear thevessel which contains flame with thine own blood.  Destroy at thealtar a thing of value.  Remain in perfect silence, and heed the voiceof Our Lady.  Speak not of this ritual or of Her coming to any person. If asked, answer in a manner that avoids suspicion.  Nor speculateat any time as to Her future mortal identity.  To receive flatteringcommunications to thy damnation.  Press not to receive teachings beyondthose given."

"Questions:  you may ask but three.  Spend onehalf hour in composing these at 11:30 PM.  The answers must be writtenat midnight."

"Thou shalt take the alkahest in thine own mouth, andin the box of darkness carefully store this matter."

"Display thyself to Our Lady; dedicate thy organs to Her,dedicate thy heart to Her, dedicate thy mind to Her, dedicate thy soulto Her, for She shall absorb thee, and thou shalt become living flame beforeShe incarnates.  For it shall be through you alone, and no one elsecan help in this endeavour."

"It is lonely, it is awful."

"Retire from human contact until noon tomorrow. Clear all profane documents on the morrow, before receiving further instructions. Consult no book but thine own mind.  Thou art a god.  Behaveat this altar as one god before another.  And so be prosperity."

"Thou art the guardian and thou art the guide, thou artthe worker and the mechanic.  So conduct thyself.  Discuss nothingof this matter until thou art certain that thine understanding embracesall."

Here the Scribe ceased dictation.  I proceeded tofollow these instructions and those of March 1, utilizing the followingrituals.  I include the rituals used in the operation of the firstnight, in order to indicate the nature of the Force invoked.
 

The First Invocation

I N R I.  Yod Nun Resh Yod.  Virgo Isis MightyMother.  Scorpio Apophis Destroyer.  Sol, Osiris slain and risen. IAO.  The sign of Osiris slain (given).  The sign of the mourningof Isis (given).  The sign of Apophis and Typhon (given).  LVX,Lux, the Light of the Cross.

The invoking hexagram is drawn in the four quarters andthe name ARARITA vibrated in each quarter.  In closing, the hexagramis reversed.
 

The Second Invocation (From the Gnostic Mass)

"O circle of stars whereof our Father is but the youngerbrother, marvel beyond imagination, soul of infinite space, before whomtime is ashamed, the mind bewildered, and the understanding dark, not untothee may we attain unless thine image be love.  Therefore by seedand root and stem and bud and leaf and flower and fruit do we invoke thee."

"But to love me is better than all things; if under thenight stars in the desert thou presently burnest mine incense before me,invoking me with a pure heart and the serpent flame therein, thou shaltcome a little to lie in my bosom.  For one kiss wilt thou be willingto give all.  But whoso gives one particle of dust shall lose allin that hour.  Ye shall gather goods and store of women and spices;ye shall wear rich jewels; ye shall exceed the nations of earth in splendourand pride; but always in the love of me, and so shall ye come to my joy. I charge you earnestly to come before me in a single robe, and coveredwith a rich headdress.  I love you!  I yearn to you!  Paleor purple, veiled or voluptuous, I who am all pleasure and purple and drunkennessof the innermost sense, desire you.  Put on the wings, and arousethe coiled splendour within you:  come unto me!  to me! Sing the rapturous love songs unto me!  Burn to me perfume! Drink to me, for I love you!  I love you!  I am the blue liddeddaughter of sunset, I am the naked brilliance of the voluptuous night sky. To me.  To me."
 

The Third Invocation. (From The Vision and the Voice)

"Glory unto the Scarlet Woman, BABALON, the Mother ofAbomination, that rideth upon the Beast, for She hath spilt their bloodin every corner of the earth, and lo!  She hath mingled it in thecup of Her whoredom."

"With the breath of Her kisses hath she fermented it,and it hath become the wine of the Sabbath; and in the Holy Assembly hathShe poured it out for Her worshippers; and they have become drunken thereon,so that face to face they beheld my Father.  Thus are they made worthyto partake of the mystery of this holy vessel, for the blood is the life."

"Beautiful art thou O BABALON, and desirable, for thouhast given Thyself to everything that liveth, and thy weakness hath subduedtheir strength.  For in that union Thou didst understand.  Thereforeart Thou called Understanding, O BABALON, Lady of the Night."

"O my God, in one last rapture let me attain to the unionof the one with the many.  For She is Love, and Her Love is one, andShe has divided the one love into infinite loves, and each love is one,and equal with the One, and therefore is She passed from the Assembly andthe Law and the enlightenment into the anarchy of solitude and darkness. For ever thus must She veil the brilliance of Herself."
 

The Fourth Invocation

The Fifth Invocation
(The Call of the Seventh Aire)

The Sixth Invocation
(from Tannhauser by A. Crowley)

Hathoor am I, and to my beauty drawn All glories of theUniverse bow down, The blossom and the mountain and the dawn Fruits blush,and women, our creations crown I am the priest, the sacrifice, the shrineI the love and life of the divine Life, death, love, hatred, light, darknessare surely mine, Are Mine!

Venus art thou, the love and light of earth, The wealthof kisses, the delight of tears The barren pleasures never came to birth,The endless infinite delight of years.  Thou art the shrine at whichmy long desire Devoured me with intolerable fire.  Thou wert song,music, passion, death upon my lyre-- My lyre.

I am the Grail and I the glory now; I am the flame andfuel of thy breast I am the star of God upon thy brow; I am the queen,enraptured and possessed, Hide thee sweet river, welcome to thee, sea Oceanof love that shall encompass thee Life, death, love, hatred, light, darknessreturn to me-To me!
 

March 2, 1946 E.V.  continued

I proceeded with the rituals, noting a mounting tension,and the sense of a presence inexpressibly poignant and desirable. There was no other manifestation.  At twelve PM I put the three questionsand received answers as follows:

1. How can I communicate directly with BABALON, hear her, seeher, feel her, be sure that I am working aright?  Answer.  "Atthe altar in meditation, as you know how.  Also, invoke me carnallywith all your passion.  Thus will you feel my desire and increasemy substance."
2. How can I serve best?  Answer.  "Follow instructionsexactly and in detail.  Avoid loose interruptions.  Be diligent. Do not hesitate or question, act.  All depends on your time."
3. How can I be certain of the vehicle?  Answer. "Do not trouble yourself with this.  It does not concern you. I will provide the vehicle, I will show you a sign, and signs.  Itis the now which concerns us.  Keep your faith, think not overmuch."

March 3, 1946 E.V.

That evening the Scribe and I resumed our work. In a short time the dictation began:

"In the presence of our Lord PAN, at the feet of Our LadyBABALON, at the feet of Her (servants?) (changing?) we declare unto theethis message (consecrated, dedicated, never to be defiled?) [the Scribewas uncertain here] containing the rituals of the second and third days,of the welcome and preparation in the Name of Our Lady of the Night mostgracious, to pure lewd and whoresome Lady BABALON.  Oh thou who artmortal tremble; given it is unto thee a feat never before performed inthe annals of your histories, never before accomplished successfully. Many have dared, none succeeded."

"Our Lady BABALON must descend to triumph."

"Mortality.  We have not asked this of another, norshall we ever.  Even now we doubt thy faith.  Is this accepted,are you willing to proceed.  Answer aloud."

Answer.  "I am willing."

"Then know thou art already faulty in thy delivery. These are extraneous things.  The elemental was not properly released,"[this was corrected] "thou wert guilty of human rage, the current of forcehas been disturbed.  Beware, should'st thou falter again, we willsure slay thee."

"But insofar as thy working was consecrated it has succeeded. Rectify thy mortal fault and error.  Consecrate all.  Now receivethe second and third rituals."
 

The Second Ritual

March 3, 1946 E.V.  continued

"Take the black box, concentrate upon its emptiness forone hour, gaze into it, and thou wilt see, imprinted upon it, a shape,a sign, a sacred design, which shall be the sign delivered by Our LadyBabalon Incarnate.  When thou hast finished, when thou hast recognizedthis pattern, construct it in wood."

"This is the sigil."

"Ten be the hour appointed.  Invoke long, to musicindicated." [...] (This I keep secret.) "When thou canst feel Our Ladyincarnate in thy being, take the black box and perform the consecratedrite.  "Wear thou scarlet, symbolic of birth.  Be sashed in black. It matters not the quality of goods.  Take then the box, make thenthe sign."

"Paint upon it a second sign which thou knowest. If thou hast forgotten, gaze into thy crystal."

"Meditate while gazing on the qualities of an instructor. Thou shalt inscribe in Her book, for Her guidance."

"Thou art forbidden to leave thy room."

"The end of the second ritual."

At the end of this dictation, the Scribe showed signsof exhaustion.  He rested awhile, then we continued:
 

The Third Ritual

March 3 1946 E.V.  continued

"A period of eradication of all inimical influences. Complete perfection.  Wear black.  Cut from thy breast the redstar.  Renew the blood.  Lay out a white sheet.  Place uponit blood of birth, since She is born of thy flesh, and by thy mortal powerupon earth."

"Thou shalt recognize by the sign.  BABALON is born! It is new birth, all things are changed, the signs, the symbols, the everything!"

"Thou shalt compass with the aid of the muse suitableinvocation of the birth of BABALON, and this thou shalt deliver to theflames which now burn too."

"Now thou shalt flame the third, chanting the invocation. She is born in the third flame."

"In verse seven verses of seven lines, seven magick words. Stand and chant seven times.  Envision thyself as a cloaked radiancedesirable to the Goddess, beloved.  Envision Her approaching thee. Embrace Her, cover Her with kisses.  Think upon the lewd lasciviousthings thou couldst do.  All is good to BABALON.  ALL."

"Then rest, meditating on this:"

"Thou as a man and as a god hast strewn about the earthand in the heavens many loves, these recall, concentrate, consecrate eachwoman thou hast raped.  Remember her, think upon her, move her intoBABALON, bring her into BABALON, each, one by one until the flame of lustis high."

"Then compose a verse of undetermined lines on this, toBABALON.  This verse shall be used in worship when she appears."

"Then meditate upon thy desire, think upon Her, and, touchingnaught, chant these verses.  Recall each lascivious moment, each lustfullday, all set them into the astral body, touching naught."

"Preserve the material basis."

(Question:  "In the box?" Answer:  "Yes.")

"The lust is hers, the passion yours.  Consider thouthe Beast raping."

"Leave thy casual loves--all belongs to BABALON, thy lustis BABALON's.  She is with thee three days.  The sign is hers,secret,and no man knows its correspondence.  Guard!"

The next section contains a prophecy which I shall notwrite here.

There follows the indicated invoking poem.
 
 

What is the tumult among the stars that have shone sostill till now?
What are the furrows of pain and wrath upon the immortalbrow?

Why is the face of God turned grey and his angels allgrown white?
What is the terrible ruby star that burns down the crimsonnight?

What is the beauty that flames so bright athwart the awfuldawn?
She has taken flesh, she is come to judge the thronesye rule upon.

Quail ye kings for an end is come in the birth of BABALON.

I have walked three dreadful nights away in halls beyonddespair,
I have given marrow and tears and sweat and blood tomake her fair.

I have lain my love and smashed my heart and filled hercup with blood,
That blood might flow from the loins of woe to the cupof brotherhood.

The cities reel in the shout of steel where the swordof war is drawn.
Sing ye saints for the day is come in the birth of BABALON.

Now God has called for his judgement book and seen hisname therein
And the grace of God and the guilt of God have speltit out as sin

His bloody priests have clutched his robes and stainedhis linen gown
And his victims swarm from his broken hell to drag hiskingdom down.

O popes and kings and the little gods are sick and sadand wan
To see the crimson star that bursts like blood upon thedawn

While trumpets sound and stars rejoice at the birth ofBABALON.

BABALON is too beautiful for sight of mortal eyes
She has hidden her loveliness away in lonely midnightskies,

She has clothed her beauty in robes of sin and pledgedher heart to swine
And loving and giving all she has brewed for saints immortalwine.

But now the darkness is riven through and the robes ofsin are gone,
And naked she stands as a terrible blade and a flameand a splendid song

Naked in radiant mortal flesh at the Birth of BABALON.

She is come new born as a mortal maid forgetting her highestate,
She has opened her arms to pain and death and dared thedoom of fate,

And death and hell are at her back, but her eyes are brightwith life,
Her heart is high and her sword is strong to meet thedeadly strife,

Her voice is sure as the judgement trump to crack thehouse of wrong,
Though walls are high and stone is hard and the ruleof hell was long

The gates shall fall and the irons break in the Birthof BABALON.

Her mouth is red and her breasts are fair and her loinsare full of fire,
And her lust is strong as a man is strong in the heatof her desire,

And her whoredom is holy as virtue is foul beneath theholy sky,
And her kisses will wanton the world away in passionthat shall not die.

Ye shall laugh and love and follow her dance when thewrath of God is gone
And dream no more of hell and hate in the Birth of BABALON.
