No idea. Until about thirty seconds after I laid eyes on this ask, I thought the Babalon Working was fictional. I’ll happily look into it just out of curiosity, but I am deeply suspicious of anything involving Aleister Crowley and L. Ron Hubbard. That and, while my understanding is that it’s supposed to summon a feminine force, being, or person, I have no idea what’s involved or what the actual intended purpose of the damn thing is.

Now. That said. I am all for pop culture magic, and I firmly believe that if you scream into the void, something will answer back. So you do you.

Since I’m not versed in it I can’t tell you whether it could be altered to be less hetero. My inclination is to say that anything can be altered if you work at it hard enough, but at the point where you’ve diverged a certain amount, you might as well consider the original to be inspiration for a working of your own.

Thanks for the ask, friendo!

The Babalon working was basically Jack Parsons whacking off onto Enochian tablets while L Ron Hubbard watched awkwardly. It possibly resulted in Marjorie Cameron showing up, which was a mixed blessing. I think there are better ways to attempt Babalon workings. Parson’s was, from a magical standpoint, arguably a huge failure.
