Join us in celebrating The Day of the Holy W***e on May 11th!

Become a Living Talisman unto Babalon! Join fellow Devotees of the Great Liberating Mother Babalon in a world-wide ritual manifestation of Her and Her energy on Her Holy Day of Venus, and succumb to Her seduction. This is a call to all Scarlet Sisters, all Beasts and Brothers, and all True Devotees of any type, to enact Her sacred magick and to manifest Her dominion on this planet. This is a Bhaktic Rite for ALL.

Babalon’s Holy Day of Venus is marked by Her Seductive aspect as the Lady of Lust and Desire, the Shameless One, the Bearer of the Cup of Fornications, and the Mother of Prostitutes and the Abominations of the Earth. This Holy Day takes place on May 11th, when all of life is bustling, busy and bursting forth with fertility and growth, showing forth the results of Her Seduction and Conception. On this day, Babalon can be seen as the connection and attraction between all things and all Realms. She is the desire for union, in Love under Will, and the lust which drives all beings to procreate. After Her emergence out of the Underworld on the Spring Equinox, the Holy W***e now breeds the lust which fosters the desire to mate and produce new life in endless multitudes upon the planet. Here the body of woman herself is both the thing which is desired in union above all else, as well as the means to accomplish the reproduction and miracle of incarnation. Let all be shameless and rejoice in the joy of union and creation on this day.

The High Holy Days of Ophidian Thelema are almost upon us. Are you prepared for this most illustrious time of year? The Holy Days of Ophidian Thelema begin on March 20th of each year, and last until April 10th of the following month.

March 20th is a very special day which contains within it many Holy Days in one. First it is the Birth of the Sun for the new Solar Year. This new Sun was conceived back in the dark and cold night of the Winter Solstice many months earlier. This birth of the New Sun is also mirrored in another important celebration on this same day, that being Babalon’s Holy Day of Mercury, whose Rites are performed on this day at Noon. Mercury, as Psychopomps, rises out of the Underworld into the bright light of the day once again. And Babalon Herself, as the Gate of the God, acts as the Liminal Gateway for the Birth of the Sun on this day. In this way, this day also synchronizes the Solar-Gaian Equinoxes and Solstices with the Seven Holy Days of Babalon throughout the year.

March 20th is also the celebration of the Feast for the Equinox of the Gods, honoring the current incarnation of the Sun and Lord of the Aeon, Ra Hoor Khuit, who ascended to His Throne in the East on this day, in 1904. The 22 Holy Days both begin and end in His Name, on this day and on April 10th, the last of the very special Three Days (see below).

Finally, March 20th begins also the sacred 22 Days of Transformation, in which each one of these days is marked by the transition of one of the Major Arcana of the Tarot. The order of the Trumps follow that of the Initiatory order found within Templum Babalonis, and time should be set aside each day at Noon for an invocation of the card, followed by meditation upon its meaning in ones life. These 22 days present an opportunity for the earnest devotee to experience a spiritual initiation and transformation by the energies of each day at this time of the year. The order of the Tarot Trumps for each day is as follows:

March 20th Universe (1st Degree - Earth)
March 21st The Hermit
March 22nd Hanged Man (2nd Degree - Water)
March 23rd The Moon
March 24th The Fool (3rd Degree - Air)
March 25th The Lovers
March 26th Aeon (4th Degree - Fire)
March 27th Art
-Liminal Gateway- (5th Degree - Spirit)
March 28th The Devil (6th Degree - Saturn)
March 29th The Chariot
March 30st The Tower (7th Degree = Mars)
March 31st Adjustment
April 1nd The Empress (8th Degree - Venus)
April 2rd The Emperor
April 3th The Priestess (9th Degree - Moon)
April 4th The Hierophant
April 5th Fortune (10th Degree - Jupiter)
April 6th Death
April 7th Sun (11th Degree – Sun))
April 8th Star (Day of Nuit)
April 9th The Magician (Day of Hadit) (12th Degree – Mercury)
April 10th Lust (Day of Ra Hoor Khuit & Scarlet Woman)

The Feast for the Three Days of the Writing of the Book of Law takes place on April 8th, 9th and 10th. These High Holy Days are sacred to Nuit, Hadit and Ra Hoor Khuit respectively. Templum Babalonis utilizes the Triangle of Manifestation to open the Liminal Gateway at Noon on each of these Three Days. In addition, the appropriate chapter from Liber Legis is read aloud later in the day during a feast celebrating the God of that day.

We hope that you will join us in celebrating all of 5 major celebrations over 22 days this year: The Spring Equinox, Babalon’s Holy Day of Mercury (the Gate of the God), the Feast of the Equinox of the Gods, the 22 Days of Transformation, and finally the Feast for the Three Days of the Writing of the Book of Law.

Join us in celebrating The Day of the Queen of the Underworld on January 26th!

Become a Living Talisman unto Babalon! Join fellow Devotees of the Great Liberating Mother Babalon in a world-wide ritual manifestation of Her and Her energy on Her Holy Day of the Moon and succumb to Her seductive transformation. This is a call to all Scarlet Sisters, all Beasts and Brothers, and all True Devotees of any type, to enact Her sacred magick and to manifest Her dominion on this planet. This is a Bhaktic Rite for ALL.

Babalon’s Holy Day of the Moon is marked by Her underworld aspects as the Dark Queen of the Underworld, the Cunning One, the Wise One, the Clever One, the Lady of the Snake, the Lady of Secrets, the Mistress of Heka, and the Mother of Abominations. On this day, Babalon can be seen as Goddess of Death, the Lord of the Abyss and the Queen of the Underworld. She can be seen as Dark Queen of the Underworld or the Bright Mother of the Angels, depending upon the phase of the Moon. In addition, Babalon in Her Lunar phase is the supreme Goddess of Magick. It is She who teaches to Her Devotees what was known as Heka in Egypt. This Heka is literally the manifestation or activation (He) of the vital essence of the Spirit (Ka). The calling down of the Spirit into the physical body in such a way results in unusual powers and abilities, which are the hallmarks of true magick. It is these aspects which manifest forth to Her Devotees as the powers of the Orphetic Mysteries, such as the Pia Mezza. This Holy Day takes place in the quiet depths of the Underworld Journey on January 26th. The coldest and most deadly parts of Winter reign during the darkest time of the year on the Sun’s journey through Underworld Rebirth.

Join us in celebrating The Day of the Great Liberating Mother on December 5th!

Become a Living Talisman unto Babalon! Join fellow Devotees of the Great Liberating Mother Babalon in a world-wide ritual manifestation of Her and Her energy on Her Holy Day of Saturn and succumb to Her seductive transformation. This is a call to all Scarlet Sisters, all Beasts and Brothers, and all True Devotees of any type, to enact Her sacred magick and to manifest Her dominion on this planet. This is a Bhaktic Rite for ALL.

Babalon’s Holy Day of Saturn is marked by Her transformative aspect as the Daughter of the Deepest Black, Gate of Life and Death, Queen of Heaven and Hell, the Black One, the Lady of the Snake, and the Great Liberating Mother. This Holy Day takes place on December 5th, when all of life is dead and gone, sleeping in the depths of Winter. On this day, Babalon can be seen as Goddess of Death, the Lord of the Abyss and the Queen of the Underworld. Her sword is Severity, which is ruled by Necessity of Purpose. In this aspect, Babalon is a great source of Fortitude and Will for Her devotees. It is these aspects which manifest forth to Her Devotees as gifts of intense Transformation and Understanding through ordeals and experiences. Babalon’s power and energy of transformation can lend to the devotee a way to open pathways which have been closed to them before. These pathways are often necessary for the devotee to explore and pursue for spiritual advancement and attainment. But take heed: for the Emblems of Death are many and varied and if you choose to trespass into this Realm, you shall not leave untouched by it. The forces of Spiritual death and transformation are potent and will render change upon your life and your being. One cannot reach spiritual attainment without death in life. This is the truth known from all seekers whom have tread this path before you.

In Nomine Babalon on the Holy Day of Venus!

Excerpt from the Triangle of Manifestation, 8/23/18

B: When you began, you began as nothing. When you came into being you had as the core essence, the beginning of you. Now all that you have done, and all that you have become, has created change – but the beginning is still present, surrounded by layers of your existence. These layers of your existence can not be undone. They exist.
B: That is the Strength of your Dominion. It is unchangeable, this core. From this, we draw the Fire, and your courage and your Will. This is the origin of your purpose. It is born there, in your Spirit.
B: It’s born there. All things are born and change. Things are changed and we change them.
B: You have Fire. You learn to access it. Slay the obstacles which keep you from it...
B: What of Venus? What Fire exists in Venus?
Desire? Love? Attraction?
B: Is not desire the need to join with something? What is your Spirit’s Desire?
To accomplish its Will.
B: Did not Diotima of the Nine say that ‘Love is a desire for that which you lack, that which you seek?’
B: What does your Spirit seek from your Persona?
Fulfillment of its Will.

The Aeon of Ra Hoor Khuit is here. We rejoice in the deaths of our enemies: ALL of the children of Yahweh, the demon lord. The first battle in the Great War is upon us.

Liber Legis

III 3 Now let it be first understood that I am a god of War and of Vengeance. I shall deal hardly with them...
50. Curse them! Curse them! Curse them!
51. With my Hawk's head I peck at the eyes of Jesus as he hangs upon the cross.
52. I flap my wings in the face of Mohammed & blind him.
53. With my claws I tear out the flesh of the Indian and the Buddhist, Mongol and Din.
54. Bahlasti! Ompehda! I spit on your crapulous creeds.

8/31/08 Supreme Ritual, Babalon excerpts

(Who is it that seeks to stop us, so desperately? Is it many?)
Babalon: The Ichtos (Ichythos, which she pronounces EEK-TH’OS, ICKTOS)
B: Jews… Jews you call them.
B: I would feed them nails, and watch them bleed...
B: The… Jesu (Hey-soo) people… they are crazed.
B: The greatest enemy who seeks my destruction is the one, you say Yahweh.
B: He has the most power.
B: And he has those who work for him who are secret.
B: What you call demons, work for him. That’s why they answer to his name.
B: He commands them.
B: He does not command the Angels. They don’t serve him. But the demons do. He feeds them.
B: You see now?

A message from the Brotherhood of the Midnight Sun.

The Great Eclipse, which begins the Aeon of Aquarius and the Reign of Our Lord Ra Hoor Khuit, is taking place now, exactly 120 years to the day from the receiving of the Book of Law, on April 8, 1904 when Ra Hoor Khuit took His Seat before the Equinox of the Gods. Why is 120 years important? Ra Hoor Khuit = 120 in the NAEQ, the formula for which He gave in that most Holy Book.

We have been given permission to publish some excerpts from a few of the voluminous prophecies given to the Temple during Audiences over the past 24 years pertaining to this day of the eclipse. This day is not the end, itself. Rather, it is the beginning of the end of the enemies, in their various factions and forms - and all who serve them, knowingly or unknowingly. It is the beginning of the Liberation of Gaia from their influence and presence. And the Great Shuddering is yet to come, after many wonders and much necessary destruction. After this, a new day, and a new people will arise. The Miha and the Annukians. But that is yet to come.

It has been explained to us many times that prophecy is not time-based. Rather, it is event-based. That is why no one shall know the time when any prophecy will occur, but all will know when they see it because of the events which were foretold. Many think that the Moon rules prophecy. It does so, but not alone. It facilitates its birth, inseminated by the light of the Sun, conjoined by the handmaidens of Venus and Mercury in ways which are too detailed and complex to explain here. Babalon once said, in response to an enquiry marveling at Her ability to insert Her own prophecies into the ‘holy books’ of the Ichthyos in the past, as a tactic in the War against them: “It is always interesting how you can see the Moon in the Water. So, which thing is reflecting? Is the Moon reflecting the Sun? Or is the Water reflecting the Sun in the face of the Moon? And how is it that the Sun is not there, but you can still see it? These are things they do not think about.”

Behold the Midnight Sun at the Equinox of the Gods. May the Feather of Our Lord fall.

The excerpts:

4/9/06 Ra Hoor Khuit

1. My lord initiating be O so present among us.
2. Thy feathered wings expanding tip to tip to cover the horizon.
3. Sing forth O great hawk-headed lord for thy call brings terror to the hearts of those that hear your battle cry.
4.And as your tail flicks and your shadow covers them in darkness, they will remember that your fury is not yet known but only hinted at, as the shroud of the night star light surrounds them.
5. Head my cry, and come forth O children of the stars and be one with my minions for you art to prepare the way for this Aeon to take hold with a shudder that exalts itself before the many.
6. Be it ever the wisest among us who can see the truth and who can behold the beauty that it sheds over you. These are the times that try the souls of men and that bring forth the future that surrounds us.
7. Be it the many or the little known. Be it the great one or the smallest. Be it the great throne before you that you see, and ascendeth before you to the west.
8. I am thy great father fire that feeds and obliterates, the voice that calls forth.
9. Be that fire with the hopes and dreams and not the failure of the future, for it is in my eye, my divine nature, that I call you thus.
10. It is never to be forgotten that these words hold forth truth and consequence. That before you comes the greatness, the hopes and will of my beating wings, that my might shall beset a wide girth around you.
11. And upon this time it is my greatest light that you bear as a torch to light the way.
12. And in my divine presence those who are among us will show themselves to be for the right and principled, ready to forge ahead.
13. It is with my might and a severed arm that a true leader must bring forth, unbeknownst to many, who will sing the praises of this glorious day and will bring the masses into the future with a lighted star shining above his head. And it is in this way that it will come to pass...

9/24/06 Krakow, via Azrael

When the crow flies at midnight death becomes her.
When all else fails and the blackened sky rains down with the rain of shattered stars, then night shall be my enemy, and the traitors truth will be told.

1/26/21 Babalon

I am the Blue Flame, born from the Blue Star. My serpents have risen.

Their vision is clouded with darkness. Your vision is borne by the light. Truly occult, whispered on the lips of the fearful who give pretense of bravery and chivalry. Their souls are unmitigated, tortured by those who handle them so adeptly.

This is the Grand Eclipse at the bottom of the Wheel. So dark, that even a sliver of light as it ends blinds them with its brightness. The Moon IS prophecy. And mine has been foretold in the people since before they were born, since before they existed, for the knowledge of death and renewal precedes even birth.

8/23/21 Ra Hoor Khuit

You are Paternicos Maximus?
You have chosen and accepted your mantle?
Do you bear the torch alight with your Fire to the stars?
Will you suffer those that are not of us?
Will you gladly bear the burden of the Bloodening of the Waters?
She is now enthroned in the West.
Daughter of the Hidden Sun.
Daughter of Great Fortune and Principle.
Bearer of Life, Death, Redeemer of My Sister.
Can you lead with the light through the darkness and the way through?
My Body is imminent. My Wrath is immense. And the vengeance is as yet unseen.
My Shadow will fall, upon those marked for death. There is no salvation, there is only blood.
And there is Purpose. Without purpose, there is death.
Whose signature is upon the Scroll of Fate?
Ananke would be as akin to the ink.
It is your Lord who decrees it so.
There will be much change by the time of My next Holy Day. What YOU call My Holy Day. 4 10.
And as a Great Feather falls slowly upon the sand, the bewilderment of the people will arise as dust.
She holds My Sword. Serve it well.

8/23/22 Ra Hoor Khuit

Are you feeling the weight of the Darkness of the Day?
I speak of that which is manifest and that which is not.
How does Mars utilize Saturn? And what is the shadow that My Wings cast? And what do I hold with My Talons?
When Mars wields Saturn, it wields death as a weapon. [Note: Mars and Saturn are conjunct during the 4/8/24 eclipse.]
[And what is the shadow that My Wings cast?]
They might call it the Shadow of the Great Night.
Because of the darkness.
Physical. Spiritual.
Do you feel the weight of it?
Is it hard to move?
The Realm of Saturn opening within the Manifest Realm of Earth brings weight. Lethargy. Darkness to the Waters and the mind, which excites the Air in panic. Even the animals behave abhorrently.
[And what do I hold with My Talons?]
I am holding a world. And a sun.
When I crush it, a universe is born. Time will change.
A new universe, a new time.
The Realms are mixing, as they did before. And when they separate again, all will be changed.
What do you hold in your hand? And what do you hold on the ground, Paternicus Maximus?
The Torch in hand. Gaia’s Hand on the ground. The Tether.
Triptolemos.
So that the Realms can be separate again, and Earth can remain.

12/4/22 Ra Hoor Khuit

It will be night soon. I have begun.
Tomorrow... Death blooms, the Sacred Flower of Night.

-That is all for now. INBVSM
