The realm of Venus is love and the emotions felt in all your relationships. It also sheds light on what makes you attractive to others. Quite simply, Venus acts as a muse, leading you toward your passions. Through her eyes, you see the poignancy and color in life, and in return, may offer a personal expression of it, through an art form. But beyond that, it is how you pass on and integrate what you’ve absorbed from the meaning of life through your all-important and ever evolving web of relationships. The invocation of Venus gives you priceless insight into how you draw love and friendship into your life, and how you express yourself creatively.
Venus encourages the natural order of things, to protect Nature’s balance. While the invocation of Venus has long since been considered the ideal power for the creation of love spells, this is a haphazard generalization and should be given further consideration. Remember, Venus guards the natural order of things, so if the love (or money, attraction, ect.) doesnt in any way disrupt or corrupt an existing entity; family or otherwise, and if the individuals have already known each other and are favorably matched in order to preserve the natural way of things, then Venus is the best bet for you.Though, it’s best to beware a lover spurned. Venus is not always fun and games. Like all women, passionate and full of life, there is a side to her which is as ruthless and relentless as the winds on her surface. One must always treat Venus much like a lover, with tenderness and respect.

Jingoism, racism, fear, religious fundamentalism: these are the ways of appealing to people if you’re trying to organize a mass base of support for policies that are really intended to crush them.

This is the first time I have seen Babalon somewhat terrified of the Beast. Which is how I envision it.

– Robert Anton Wilson telling it like it is…
“Is”, “is.” “is”—the idiocy of the word haunts me. If it were abolished, human thought might begin to make sense. I don’t know what anything “is”; I only know how it seems to me at this moment.
— Robert Anton Wilson, The Historical Illuminatus
