NTRODUCTON

This book conains he record ofa magicalexperimentreaingo

he invocaion ofan eemena,he hereaer ofhe Goddess or

Force caed BABALON,and he resus hereo. An appendix con-

ains some deais ofhe mehod,pubished or he irst ime.

The conens shoud be cear enough o hose who are prepared or

undersanding, and a ie sudyand eortshoud make it so

or hose who desire undersanding. For he res,each wil no

doubtinerpretitin accord wih his own prediecions.

A noe on he underyingphiosophy. The presentage is under he

inuence of he orce caed,in magical erminoogy, Horus.

This orce reaes o ire,Mars,and he sun,hatis,o power,

vioence,and energy. taso reaes o a chid,being innocent

(i.e. undiereniaed). s maniesaions maybe noed in he

desrucion of od insiuions and ideas, he discovery and

iberation ofnew energies,and he rend owards power govern-

mens,war,homosexuaiy,inaniism,and schizophrenia.

This orce is compeeybind,dependingupon he men and women

in whom itmaniess and who guide i. Obviousy, is guidance

now ends owards caasrophy.

The caasrophic rend is due o our ack ofundersandingofour

own naures. The hidden uss,ears,and hareds resuing rom

he warpingofhe ove urge,which underyhe naures of al

Wesern peopes,have aken a homicidaland suicidaldirecion.

This impasse is broken byhe incarnaion of anoher sort of

orce,caed BABALON. The naure ofhis orce reaes o ove,

undersanding,and dionysian reedom,and is he necessary coun-

erbaance or correspondence o he maniesaion ofHorus.

t is indicaed hathis orce is acuayincarnae in some

ivingwoman,as he resutofhe described magicaloperaion. A

more basic maer,however,is he indicaion hathis orce is

incarnae in almen and women,and needs onyo be invoked o

ree he spiritrom he debris ofhe od aeon,and o direct

he bind orce ofHorus ino consrucive channes of under-

sanding and ove. The mehods ofhis invocaion are described

in he ex.

The background ofhis maerialmaybe ound in he Book of he

Law,he Commenthereon,and oher wriings ofAeiser Crowey;

aso in various magica, anhropoogica, psychoogica, and

phiosophicalexs. These are alnecessaryo an undersanding

and use ofhe maeria.

ies, aer he vialuncions are uied,arise rom he

need o ove or o be oved. tis herore quie ieray rue
