“The joy of life consists in the exercise of one's energies, continual growth, constant change, the enjoyment of every new experience. To stop means simply to die. The eternal mistake of mankind is to set up an attainable ideal.”
― Aleister Crowley, The Confessions of Aleister Crowley: An Autohagiography

the Mother of All Waters begins her Tantra:
“Know that my worship is of Flesh
All else is abstract, obtuse and as dust.
Flesh of Flesh is sacred to me
My Yoni
And Stars:
The points of Connection & the Wheels of Configuration of release…
“Sex in all its infinite forms is Shakti as restless and endless as the Ocean about you
As the tidally-sparked blood within your Flesh
Ever flowing, ever seeming to encompass All Things
Ever filling and settling into All Spaces
Sex is my Mantra, my Spell, My Siren Cry
And it is I who always answer this cry,
it is the glory of my Flesh that suffuses the Mystery
And the release of Orgasm that calms the turbulent Ocean that is also I.
You see me as a Mirror Image of All, so as to mate with me
And so become whole.
Mystery of Anima & Animus
Flesh & Spirit
Nu & Hadit
And the restless Shakti ripples
Called Heru
Pan & Babalon reveal this ageold Mystery
As do Shiva & Shakti
Yin & Yang
And every archetypal dyad eternally mating
Melding
Into One
Great Ocean of Bliss
Becoming
Nun…."
~ The Book of Shakti-Babalon
IN NOMINE BABALON🥀
