Babalon (Long Thelemic Piece)
by Debra Ann Hoyle
Age Group: Adult
Babalon
The Goddess
Babalon,
Oh Beautiful Babalon
Rider of the Great Star Beast
Drunken on the Blood of Saints
Genetrix, Matrix, Mother of the Stars
Instiller of fear and wonder
Scorn not, Mock not
For the Cup She beareth is the Holy Graal
And her holy name is Whore
Babalon,
Nature in which all is conceived.
Star Goddess, Maiden most perfect,
Lady of Light, Sea born, Star Begotten
Accursed Angel in whom
Is all Damnation and all Redemption.
For in her is all power given
Babalon
From her cup flow the rivers of life
It's foam is the foam of the Milky Way
And it bears the Wonder Seed of the Stars
From its water rises tall and eternal the Tree of Life
The World Ash, Soceress, Seeress,
Keeper of the keys of birth, healing, and death
Red maned, ample breasted, eyes flashing with battle
Tender with love, Priestess of the free Life
At the temple gate by the waters of Babylon
She gave of herself in the Great Rite
To all men and to God.
Babalon
Behold her in the Chambers of night
Glorious in her nakedness,
Her cheeks flushed, eyes large,
Her mouth moist with honey and sweet with fire
Giving the ecstasy and anguish of her body utterly in love.
Is she not magnificent,
Babalon
In the temple of the forest,
she invokes the tribal Godhead.
wouldst they dare to crucify her son.
She would sieze a sword and slay.
Until men ran screaming before her fury.
That or if need be, nail him up with her own hands
For this is woman that will
Suck a man's soul down to hell
And utterly destroy him,
Save that he be a man indeed.
Babalon
Is she not a demon
Verily she is a demon from the deepest pit and
None but the Magician King, Master of the Sword of Will
Shall ever call her Mate
The cup conquers by yielding and yields to conquer
Thus for every Goddess there is a demon averse
Oh lover of Babalon
Hast thou achieved the marriage of Heaven and Hell
Babalon
Who art beyond the Law and the Assembly
Transgress the Law to win her and there,
You will find the solitude of Anarchy and Darkness
As it is written
'Thou shall spill out thy blood to the last drop'
Babalon
Reign in the hearts of every woman
That she may be desired by every man
Babalon
Whose heart is the heart of Earth
Whose song is the song of the sea,
She at whose laughter the flowers blossom in Spring
At whose touch the earth is made fertile.
Babalon
Fear her not
For is she not a woman
Tender, mysterious, alluring,
She is the essence of woman
Raised in her own power, set loose in herself.
Babalon
Babalon
Come into my arms and into my heart
Oh Babalon.
