A phenomenal treatise on the the Great Whore Goddess; Babalon and the interesting sources of information concerning her through literature, including the book of Revelation. The author covers historical information regarding this goddess and the numerous names she is known by in various pantheons and throughout religious history however, he also makes it very clear that Babalon is and was her own goddess and not to be confused with others. He very clearly delineates the differences between Babalon, Inanna, Ishtar, Lilith, Astarte, Astoreth, Isis, and others.
But most special to my heart, and my path, is the information provided regarding her as Holy Whore, and sacred sexuality.
"What we mean here is Love. The loss of self into the Beloved...nothing can hold hard against the power of Love. The Grail of Babalon is the ultimate weapon. Everything dissolves into Her. With Babalon there is no sin, since rigid denial is gone as soft as candlewax."
"Babalon is lust, sexual, primal power. Lust knows no limits. Lust violates moral sense. Lust is strength, vitality and joy. Lust is action."
