Book Description
Best-selling occult author and magician, Lon Milo DuQuette, wraps his turban on to become--"Baba Lon"--answering letters and questions of magick and mysticism (sent for over 20 years by both adepts and idiots, saints and psychotics). This is DuQuette at his best and most outrageously candid. "There are no stupid questions..." he laments..."just stupid people." (Later he makes a half-sincere apology for that remark.) Peppered generously with DuQuette's drawings and magical verses, "Ask Baba Lon" is guaranteed to delight, entertain and (if YOUR turban isn't wrapped too tight) ENLIGHTEN you. This book was edited by David Cherubim from the Aleister Crowley Foundation and the cover artwork is by Constance Jean DuQuette.

Book Description
Approaching Babalon presents a series of essays exploring the Goddess Babalon, the Divine Feminine, the Dark Mother, and the ever-revolving circuit of Sex and Death which lies at the centre of the Mysteries. An overview and introduction to the Goddess Babalon that takes a different road to that of Crowley and his followers, Approaching Babalon draws on the insights of Thelema, Ceremonial Magic, Critical Theory, Liberation Theology and the Decadents to weave its magico-theological poetics. Centralising the body and bodily experience, the author rejects patriarchal mysticisms which seek to flee from the body and the world and slink off into the pure white light of heavenly rationalist sanitized boredom. Inspiring, erotic and deeply poetic, the text reaches ecstatic heights as it offers a kaleidoscopic vision of magic, sexuality, spirituality, ritual and the body in the time of the apocalypse.

Book Description
The Book of Lies was written by English occultist and teacher Aleister Crowley under the pen name of Frater Perdurabo. As Crowley describes it: "This book deals with many matters on all planes of the very highest importance. It is an official publication for Babes of the Abyss, but is recommended even to beginners as highly suggestive." The book consists of 91 chapters, each of which consists of one page of text. The chapters include a question mark, poems, rituals, instructions, and obscure allusions and cryptograms. The subject of each chapter is generally determined by its number and its corresponding Qabalistic meaning.

Book Description
Babalon is a UK feminist organisation with a membership numbering in the hundreds of thousands. Fronted by the charismatic Scarlett Woman, Babalon treads a careful line in an increasingly conservative UK, where a government coalition with a religiously conservative Irish party means that reproductive rights in England may be under threat. Scarlett's organisation venerates Babalon, goddess of sex, blood and the destruction of patriarchy. It promotes witchcraft practices as a key method of political and spiritual resistance to its members via rallies, meetings, training, conferences and the BabalonApp, where those identifying as women can access support services, witchcraft resources, online chat, news and feminist media.Told by three women - Maid (Trix, discovering her sexuality) Mother (Robyn, mother of two, finding herself after a broken marriage) and Crone (Scarlett Woman, the leader of Babalon) - this is a story of power and empowerment: where personal, sexual and political power comes from, where it intersects and how different women come into their power in different ways. It also considers the difficulties inherent in an organisation paying lip service to inclusivity, and the dynamics of power in an organisation run by a woman who considers herself the conduit for a goddess. Trix leaves her small Irish village to come to University in London. Recruited into flatmate Szou's Riot Grrl-influenced band, she finds herself playing warmup gigs at Babalon rallies; raising the feral energy of the crowd before Scarlett Woman takes the stage. But Trix is running from the voices and visions that have plagued her since childhood. Yet when she meets Shefali, sex becomes more than she could have imagined, and it's Trix's sexual power that must flow freely if she is to fulfil her role in Scarlett Woman's inner circle. Robyn is trapped in her marriage; at home with two young children with a distant, emotionally unavailable husband. Babalon gives her the strength to find a way back to herself, and an active role in MotherHood, Babalon's guerrilla fighting programme. But becoming a fighter means Robyn has to face a decision which will take all her strength. Scarlett Woman, once the lover of an infamous occultist, is introduced to the goddess Babalon within his cult. Yet Scarlett's journey to power embraces the goddess outside of Jack Crowley's misogyny and creates a formidable activist organisation with the terrible power of Babalon at its beating breast. What will happen when Scarlett and her group focus the power of Babalon on those who would hurt women and deny them their rights? Will Trix's visions of Judgement Day come to pass? The character of Scarlett Woman is informed by (though fictionalised) the real story of Marjorie Cameron, an overlooked figure in modern history. Cameron is best known as having been the lover and muse for occultist Jack Parsons, an American rocket scientist and student of Aleister Crowley. Parsons and his friend, L Ron Hubbard supposedly invoked the goddess Babalon in the California desert in the 60s, intending to bring the goddess into incarnation. The working didn't achieve its aims, and Parsons famously died in a fire a year or so after. Cameron's story is a fascinating one. She was a woman within a misogynist occult culture who came to be a highly respected artist and ingénue, but is still widely known only as Jack Parson's lover. What would have happened if someone like Marjorie Cameron decided that she was going to lash the liberating power of the goddess Babalon - the destroyer of worlds and protector of women's bodies - to a political and social activist organisation? A powerful and topical book, THE BOOK OF BABALON mixes witchcraft and feminism into something new, original and absolutely of the moment. Note: this book contains graphic sexual content, mentions of rape, physical and sexual abuse, abortion, miscarriage, occult ritual and content of an

Book Description
This is a book of sexual magicks in both theory and practice fromthe feminine power zones and from their own points of view. Very littlehas been written on this. It is a compilation composed of the text andart of sixteen practicing female magickians through which the vitalcharacter of a Babalon is explored.Both the elder and younger Babalons write here in order to expandupon this almost taboo subject. Linda Falorio, one of the writers within, says "Men, read on if you want to know our deepest secrets."This book focuses on the 'what, ' the 'who' and the 'how' of thepractice.The materials are mutli-generational, multi-cultural and multi-systematic, though with a strong emphasis on Thelemic.No 'right' way is posited. Often seen 'shoulds' are replaced by anethic that values Choice.Being a Babalon is both a spiritual and social challenge. There areno more optimal conditions outside of an open heart and mind. She ismuch more than any sexual orientation or specific sexual act.Although there is no definitive word or image which captures thetotality of what it means to be a Babalon, her very nature speaks toChange. Babalon spins and the walls between worlds revolve. Herspinning gives form to the very womb of life. She rides upon a crestthat peeks into the heavens, and descends into the very heart of hell.The papers and images in this book document this journey, and thehowling of women will now make itself heard! - 6x9 edition - 8x10 also availabl
