Mystery Babalon: The Bhaktic and Ecstatic Rites of Babalon ![]() Within these pages you will find sound information and practical guidance from a Priestess of Babalon who has practiced the Orphetic Mysteries for almost three decades. Learn how to set up your Shrine, how to prepare yourself for the Rites, and how to perform them. There are Rites for solo devotees, lovers or small and large groups. Everything has been put at your fingertips to get you started with the ways of Babalon, like no other book before it! Hagia Aureavia has adapted these Rites for the general public from some of those used in her private Temple over the years. Designed for a broader uninitiated audience, these Rites have been made as non-denominational as possible so as to be appealing to people from all backgrounds and inclinations. Within the pages of this large tome you will find five sections. Part 1 is Philosophy & Cosmology which focuses on expounding the ontology and teleology of Babalon and Her Allies, as well as the new (yet in actuality very ancient) philosophy which they divulge to mankind. Part 2 is Preparations for the Shrine and for the Rites. Here you will learn about the Offices, Roles and Pathways within the Shrine, how to arrange your sacred space to Babalon, and how to prepare yourself for the Rites. Finally, a Rite of Dedication is given to consecrate your Shrine to Babalon. Part 3 are the Invocations, Hymns, Adorations and Prayers which are used throughout the Rites within the book. This section alone will be a boon to many practicing priestesses and magicians as it lists valuable invocations for Babalon and the other gods, the Archangels, the Planets, the Elements and the Elementals, as well as the Zodiac. Many of these invocations are the same ones which have been used for decades within Templum Babalonis, each one inspired by direct contact with the spirits themselves. Part 4 is the Bhaktic Rites of Babalon, which forms the beginning of the heart of the book. Here you will find a bevy of devotional Rites to perform within your Shrine. An explanation of the Devotional Path is given, as well as many daily and periodic devotions and dream-work rites. Next is the vaunted Rite of Devotion which is the main solo devotional rite, and the Rite of Convocation, which is similar but designed for small groups of two to three people. Finally, the Bhaktic Rites of Babalon is given, which is the centerpiece of the entire Bhaktic system. This grand rite is designed for larger groups and public gatherings for the people at large. Given along with these Devotional Rites to Babalon are the optional Rites to Ra Hoor Khuit. These rites are for those who also feel a calling to the Brother of Babalon, who is the Lord of the Aeon. The daily Adorations of Ra Hoor Khuit are given along with the many Mudras given by the Brotherhood of the Midnight Sun, published here for the first time. And then there are the Devotional Rites of Ra Hoor Khuit, which are powerful rites utilizing both the Cakes of Light and the Cakes of Life. Finally, for those few brave women who aspire to be concubines to Ra Hoor Khuit as delineated in the third chapter of Liber Legis, there are the Blood Rites of Ra Hoor Khuit. These powerful rites utilize the body and menstrual blood of the Priestess in periodic worship and adoration of this great and terrible god, seeking to become worthy to be his concubine and servant. ![]() As if this wasn’t enough, the book is rounded out with the Appendices, which cover the world-wide Shrine System initiative, Ophidian Thelema and the Temple of Babalon, the Gematria of the Ophidian Kabbalah, as well as a large Glossary of Terms which defines many of the obscure words and concepts used within the text. Mystery Babalon: the Bhaktic and Ecstatic Rites of Babalon is an ambitious book, distilling decades of knowledge and experience down to practical rites which anyone can use. Finally there is a reliable book which gives everything anyone could need to help them on their path of being a Devotee of the Goddess Babalon. |
