He was naked. In perfect posture, back straight, his muscles taunt but not trembling, he looked amazing in the morning sunlight. The clarity and power he put into the words invoked admiration. I knew those words. This was the Star Ruby ritual. An exercise magicians practice, a form of meditation designed to increase concentration and open the spirit. Besides a few Youtube videos, I had never seen magick performed by another. Despite years of solitary practice, I never found the need to seek out others. The majesty of it floored me. Pangs of jealousy crept up, as I believed my own stumbling rituals could never inspire such awe. He seemed perfectly in the moment of it, in ecstasy.

In my temple, from sundown to sunup, I chanted the invocations, made sacrifices of great clouds of incense, wrote scrolls worth of prayers, collected and kept sacred beetles, and subjugated myself before Thoth’s image. After a week of this, things began to happen.

Download My Babylon – Book One: Body by James L. Wilber: My Story
An obsessed magician will do anything it takes to satiate his perverse needs.
My Myth
He turns to forbidden arts to manifest his will.
My Revelation
In doing so, he will bring about the end of everything.
My Babylon
A serial novel about the paranormal and dark desires. The story of a cursed young man who has an intimate view of the end of the world as we know it. My Babylon weaves elements of urban fantasy, erotic horror, and real-world occult practices, to form a unique personal tale that thrills, terrifies, and even enlightens.
I think it will be of particular interest to people who follow this blog. While it’s still clearly fantasy, it incorporates real-world magical theory and practice in the story. In many ways, especially in later books, it can be described as a “Thelemic fairy tale.”
If that sounds interesting to you, please, go get a copy! -> My Babylon – Book One: Body.
Remember, you don’t need a Kindle. You can read a Kindle book on just about any device, even on your PC, by downloading a Kindle app.

In On Writing, Stephen King recommends writing your book with a specific people in mind, his Constant Reader. Not to market the book, but to write it for the people you hope will understand and enjoy it..
I wrote this book for me, my wife, and my friend Steve. I also wrote it for you, all the people on tumblr I find fascinating and enlightening. All the people who I would love to meet with, and drink coffee, and talk.
This is for you. I really think you’ll enjoy it. Thank you for the inspiration.
Please reblog if you plan on reading My Babylon.
Last chance to read Chapter 1 of Book One before it gets deleted from my blog.*
