” In ancient times many years of preparation were required before the neophyte was permitted to enter the temple of the Mysteries. In this way the shallow, the curious, the faint of heart, and those unable to withstand the temptations of life were automatically eliminated by their inability to meet the requirements foradmission. The successful candidate who did pass between the pillars entered the temple, keenly realizing his sublime opportunity, his divine obligation, and the mystic privilege which he had earned for himself through years of special preparation. “

Babalon has monster tits?
I believe Babalon can be a trap for the unwary. She can engender obsession in those who venerate her.
The monster tits are metaphorical 😉
Ah. Okay, how do I know if I’m the unwary?
That’s the fun part, you don’t. Have you ever been obsessed with love? Have you even been in a state of hysteria over someone else? Did you taste them in your breath? Did they boil your blood until you felt like you would scream like a steam engine? If yes, you are susceptible.

Matchmaker – A Short Story
This is a short story I’ll have available on Amazon Kindle around April 15th. It serves well as an introduction to my writing, and explores some of the same themes as My Babylon. Until the 15th, it’s free for my tumblr and blog followers.

“There’s been an update to the code since you last worked. Don’t forget to check out the new questionnaire.” Dylan, my supervisor, wore a black polo shirt with the company logo, a bracelet made of some alloy, and a couple days worth of black stubble. The exact kind of professional non-professional look you expect from a middle management dickwad working for a tech company. He shifted in his seat, waiting for my response even though he failed to ask a question. “You should turn your camera on.”
Like most people pounding keys, I work at home. Even though Dylan found it annoying, I only respond to questions, not statements. The less opportunity to betray my total disgust for him, the company, and the American way of life, the better. That’s also why I didn’t turn on my camera. The wreckage of my bedroom/office, and the fact I’d yet to brush my teeth today reflects the shits I do not give.
Unable to think of a good reason not to, I turned my video on and let him bask in my slothful countenance. Dylan visibly winced when he saw it, then pretended not to notice. “Do you have any questions?”
“Be mindful of the changes in output due to the code update. Items have been added to the questionnaire to take advantage of the new code.” Never question, only regurgitate.
He nodded. “I’ve got three VIP jobs I want you to get done today. Send me a chat message if you need anything.”
I looked straight at the screen and waited for him to disconnect the conference. A few times prior I had disconnected before he was through being useless. That really cheesed him off. A couple more and he would be looking for a new star employee.
PS. Reblogging to fix broken link (thank you libre sollus) and to say please reblog this with comments on how much you enjoyed it.

Demeter and her daughter, Persephone, the goddess of Spring. (1900)
^^^Love this picture but Demeter is the Goddess of fertility, grain & agriculture and Persephone or “Kore” is the vegetation goddess & also the Queen of the Underworld. Neither are “Goddesses of Spring” per-se, but their myth is the personification of the growth of vegetation in the spring and withdrawal after harvest.
The Gathering of Heka
This recitation is to be memorized and repeated as an oath and dedication to the practise of Heka. It is most effective as a sort of mantra, and as such should be spoken in the Egyptian, rather than English. The translation is given only to elucidate the meaning of the spell.
This spell is from Chapter 24 of the Papyrus of Ani, the “Chapter of Gaining Power.”
Nuk Tem-Khepera kheper t’esef her uart mut-f.
Ertau unsu en ami Nu, behennu en amiu t’at’at.
Ask temt-na heka pen entef, kher se entef kher-f, betenu er thesem, khak er sut.
A anen makhent ent Ra!
Rut aqi-k em mehit em khent-ek er Se-mesert em neter-khert.
Ask temt-na heka pen em bu neb enti-f, kher se entef kher-f, betenu er thesem, khak er sut.
Arit kheperu em ertu mut em qemam-tu neteru em sekeru.
Erta-entu mut seref en neteru.
Ask erta-na heka apen kher enti-f betenu er thesem, khak er sut, khak er sut.
Translation: ”I am the uncreated god. Before me the dwellers in chaos are dogs, their chiefs merely wolves. I gather the power from every place, from every person, faster than light itself. Hail to he in the heavens who is strong even before the terror of the darkness. He gathers the power from every place, from every person, faster than light itself. He restores the giver of life. He creates the gods from silence alone and comforts them. He bestows upon me this power from every place, faster than the shadow follows the light.”
THE STATUE LOOKS LIKE PHOENIX.
