Postcards from the Abyss--Special Edition--Feast of CallingForth and Conception I


RavishedDaughter
March 1-2, 2008 e.v.


The lines on this postcard bes taken from the declaration of the Daughter of Fortitude as transmitted to Dee and Kelley (15thC.) The full text of this transmission bes as follows:
I am the daughter of Fortitude, and ravished every hour from my youth. For behold I am Understanding and science dwelleth in me; and the heavens oppress me. They cover and desire me with infinite appetite; for none that are earthly have embraced me, for I am shadowed with the Circle of the Stars and covered with the morning clouds. My feet are swifter than the winds, and my hands are sweeter than the morning dew. My garments are from the beginning, and my dwelling place is in myself. The Lion knoweth not where I walk, neither do the beast of the fields understand me. I am deflowered, yet a virgin; I sanctify and am not sanctified. Happy is he that embraceth me: for in the night season I am sweet, and in the day full of pleasure. My company is a harmony of many symbols and my lips sweeter than health itself. I am a harlot for such as ravish me, and a virgin with such as know me not. For lo, I am loved of many, and I am a lover to many; and as many as come unto me as they should do, have entertainment.

Purge your streets, O ye sons of men, and wash your houses clean; make yourselves holy, and put on righteousness. Cast out your old strumpets, and burn their clothes; abstain from the company of other women that are defiled, that are sluttish, and not so handsome and beautiful as I, and then will I come and dwell amongst you: and behold, I will bring forth children unto you, and they shall be the Sons of Comfort. I will open my garments, and stand naked before you, that your love may be more enflamed toward me.
Some associate this declaration with the spirit of Madimi, a prematurely sexualised child spirit what bes notably responsible for instructing Dee and Kelley to swap wives in bed as a spiritual exercise. Others attribute it as a harbinger of the still-future incarnation of Babalon, and of course some regard Madimi as a child version of Babalon.

The feast of Calling-Forth and Conception marks the date of March 2 whereupon, in 1946, first bes called forth the current and archetype of Babalon to incarnation and then again in 1964 (note the metathesis of the numbers) with the womb portal opening, Her Conception (deliberately not immaculate). Babalon bes associated not only with the great Whore and Habitation of All Demons of Revelation 17-18 but also with the Sophia in Exilia of the gnostics, the Heh Finale (daughter) of tetragrammaton, and the World-soul, soul of the world.
