Ave = Hail in Latin. Babalon is the Thelemic spelling for the Whore of Babylon, a goddess in that religion. I don’t consider myself a Thelemite, but Babalon is a patron goddess of mine. To me she represents the turning of the age, the coming eschaton, when the tribal gods are cast off and we are open to love and understanding. I pretty much stole the saying from Peter Grey author of The Red Goddess. He closes all of his communication In Nomine (In the name of) Babalon. Why ask anonymously?
