Babalon Unveiled! Thelemic Monographs

Book excerpt: This collection of 36 monographs serves as a well-rounded introduction to the Law of Thelema. ?Lapis Philosophorum? redefines the magical philosophy of Thelema, liberating it from the accretions of the past as well as those of the modern age. ?Babalon Unveiled!? forms the centrepiece of this collection and is one of seven related studies on the mystery of the Scarlet Woman. Each shows an aspect of her oracular voice as it has been heard and recorded down the ages. ?Angels of Sacred Dance, Love and Whoredom? examines how the divine feminine of pre-religious antiquity was demonised, resulting in a host of ?fallen angels? whose identity is yet preserved, albeit under a heavy veil in traditional Qabalistic texts.The book is dedicated to the memory of Rose Edith Kelly, otherwise known as Rose Crowley or Ouarda the Seer. Rose was the medium and intelligence for the transmission activated through the Stele of Revealing in the Cairo museum in 1904.
