So, I’ve never formally worked with Babalon and my direct experiences with her have always accidental. I’ve felt drawn to her for a very long time but I’ve always been a bit gun shy about calling her directly. She is no fucking joke and she will wreck your shit without a second thought – just look what happened to poor Jack Parsons.
If you’re a hetero or bisexual male, I would think very long and hard about what you’re looking to get out her and whether or not there’s a safer way to get it. The road to Babalon is littered with the corpses of male magicians who tried to know her and were annihilated in the process. I would also be very, very careful about viewing her as a passive receptacle or a purely sex-oriented entity.
I would also give the fact that Babalon’s beckoning leads the magician directly into the Abyss some very serious consideration. Is that something you’re genuinely ready for?
Basically just be careful, she isn’t something to mess around with lightly.
Break forth my heart,
taste the fruit,
reap the reward of faith,
of blood and bone
and bathe in the darkness.
She is flame of life, power of darkness, she destroys with a glance, she may take thy soul. She feeds upon the death of men.
