BABALON Working, Part II

The time has finally arrived for the second part of my BABALON Operation. The first part of this Operation took place back in May of last year (an outline of which I posted on the OSDL Forum). This is part of that post:

This series of Eight Operations was developed as an Initiation (for Seer I.A.O.*) to the grade of Magus, 9^o=2^o. The following Aethyrs are integral to the substance of this working.

VTI -- lion-like female

POP -- BABALON as High Priestess

LEA -- BABALON and the Beast (part 1)

OXO -- the Rose Cross; sexual energies

LOE -- BABALON and the Beast (part 2)

ZIP -- daughter of BABALON

DEO -- BABALON as Venus / Ishtar

These 7 Aethyrs have a Gnostic, an Enochian, and a Qabalistic meaning – each of which should be separated and elaborated upon in order to complete the Operation. This is not as difficult as it sounds at first; remember, there are 3 meanings, and each Aethyr has 3 regions (decans) over which 3 Governors are placed.

Further, the above 7 Aethyrs are done, one each day, for 7 days. A day of rest is taken on the eighth day. On the ninth day, a detailed and comprehensive working of ARN is performed, by invoking the 4 Spirits of Spirit (EHNB, HNBE, NBEH, and BEHN). These ‘entities’ are absolutely essential to the proper completion of this rite, since the ‘entities’ give the practitioner total authority over the 3 Governors of ARN – DOAGNIS, PAKASNA, and DIAVOLA.

The second phase of this Operation is a "group effort," so to speak, in that as many of the members of the OSDL will be involved as possible. In order to accomplish this (without actually forcing members to travel to the Aethyrs in question) a special Rite has been constructed, associating appropriate Tarot images with the Aethyrs in the Operation.

VTI -- High Priestess (Moon)

POP -- Magician (Mercury)

LEA -- The Empress (Venus)

OXO -- The Sun (Sol)

LOE -- The Tower (Mars)

ZIP -- The Wheel (Jupiter)

DEO -- The Universe (Saturn)

The "appropriateness" of these images will become apparent during the Operation. As each participant will come to recognize, there is a deeper meaning to the Tarot images than is readily apparent (meanings not covered in the Introductory Tarot Class); eventually, 'new Pathways' of Understanding will open for each of the collaborators (but, this may take some time -- perhaps weeks -- for these 'new Pathways' to develop).

More information about this Operation will be posted in a few days.
