BABALON

MEDITATION AND RITUAL WITH BABALON

THE FOLLOWING IS FROM OUR FULL MOON IN SCORPIO RITUAL WORKING WITH THE GODDESS BABALON, GODDESS OF LOVE, LUST, AND TRANSGRESSION, MOTHER OF ABOMINATIONS, HOLY WHORE, AND DAUGHTER OF FORTITUDE. SHE ASKS THAT ALL IDEAS ABOUT GOOD OR EVIL ARE DISSOLVED AND THAT WE SURRENDER OUR EGO SO WE CAN SEE THE DIVINE IN EVERYTHING. THE PATH OF BABALON IS ONE OF SEX, DEATH, AND THE FLESH.

MEDITATION

CLOSE YOUR EYES AND START TO COME BACK INTO YOUR BODY, AND INTO THE PRESENT. AS YOU DO SO, YOU FEEL ALL WORRIES ABOUT THE DAY DISSOLVING, AND YOU SINK DEEPER INTO THE MOMENT. WITH EACH INHALE YOU TAKE, YOU PULL GOLDEN HEALING LIGHT INTO YOUR LUNGS, AND AS YOU EXHALE YOU FEEL ALL THE WORRIES AND TENSIONS FROM YOUR DAY LEAVE YOUR BODY. YOU FIND YOURSELF AT PEACE, HELD BY THE LIGHT OF THE FULL MOON. YOU FEEL THE EARTH BENEATH YOU FEEDING YOU HEALING AND SUPPORTIVE TERRESTRIAL LIGHT, AND THE HEAVENS ABOVE YOU FEEDING YOU WHITE HEALING CELESTIAL LIGHT. IT’S AS IF THE COSMOS ABOVE AND BELOW YOU WERE HOLDING YOU IN THEIR LOVING EMBRACE. WITH THIS YOU KNOW THAT YOU ARE DIVINELY HELD AND PROTECTED, AND THAT THE ENERGY FROM THE HEAVENS AND EARTH MEET AT YOUR HEART. YOU BREATHE INTO THIS AND FEEL A SPHERE OF PROTECTIVE ENERGY FORMING AROUND YOU, GROWING WITH EACH AND EVERY EXHALE UNTIL IT ENCOMPASSES YOU COMPLETELY. YOU FEEL LIKE A STAR  IN YOUR OWN PERFECTLY DIVINE ORBIT. EACH ONE OF US IN THIS CIRCLE IS LIKE A STAR AND TOGETHER WE ARE CREATING A CONSTELLATION AROUND THE WORLD, FORMING A SPHERE OF PROTECTION THAT SPANS THE GLOBE. THE WORK WE ARE DOING TOUCHES EVEN THE COSMOS.

AS YOU TAKE A MOMENT TO RECONNECT WITH YOUR BREATH AND FEEL THIS DIVINE VIBRATION WITHIN YOU, YOU START TO NOTICE YOUR SURROUNDINGS. IT’S BARREN, THE DESERT DRAPED IN STILLNESS AND THE SUN IS SETTING. THE AIR FEELS WARM, AND DRY. DESOLATE. THE SKY HAS A RED TINGE TO IT AND IT FEELS ELECTRIC OUT. IT’S AS IF THE BOUNDARIES OF YOUR BODY HAVE BEGUN TO DISSOLVE, AND THE SEPARATION BETWEEN YOU AND THE WORLD HAS BEGUN TO BLUR. YOUR SENSE OF SELF IS EXPANDING AND MELTING AND FADING. YOU ARE THE DESERT ARE THE OTHER ARE THE BELOVED. YOU ARE AND WERE AND ALWAYS WILL BE.

IN THIS PLACE OF SAMENESS COMES THE TRUTH. THE ILLUSION OF SEPARATION BEGINS TO FADE. YOU FEEL YOURSELF AS THE EARTH, BUT ALSO AS THE ROCKS, AND HEAVENS. YOU ARE. YOU ARE BECOMING. AND IT IS EROTIC.

IT IS IN THIS PLACE THAT EXISTENCE IS CREATING ITSELF, YOU FEEL THE ECSTASY OF ALL THAT IS RUNNING THROUGH YOUR VEINS. ALL THE BEAUTY AND SEX AND LOVE BUT ALSO ALL THE SUFFERING AND PAIN AND EVIL. IT ALL COURSES THROUGH YOU, TRANSFORMING, CREATING, EVOLVING, TOTALLY AND UTTERLY IN PLEASURE. 

YOU ALLOW YOURSELF TO FEEL THIS, TO BREATHE INTO, TO ALLOW THE PAIN AND SUFFERING AND JOY AND TRANSCENDENCE OF EXISTENCE TO COURSE THROUGH, YOU BECOME IT. 

AS YOU GIVE YOURSELF OVER TO IT, YOU BEGIN TO FEEL AS IF A VEIL HAS BEEN PEELED  BACK. AN ENERGY WITHIN YOU SHIFTS, AND YOU FEEL AN IMMENSE SENSE OF LUST AND POWER WITHIN AND AROUND YOU. YOU SHIFT YOUR GAZE TO THE DESERT BEFORE YOU AND NOTICE A BEING ATOP OF WHAT LOOKS LIKE A LION BUT WITH SEVEN HEADS. SHE IS VEILED IN RED WITH A GOLDEN CHALICE IN HER HANDS. SHE’S WEARING LAYERS OF GOLD JEWELRY THAT CREATE A SYMPHONY AS SHE APPROACHES YOU. SHE SMELLS OF ROSES AND MYRRH AND DIVINE INTOXICATION. SHE SAYS:

DISSOLVE DUALITY AND FIND YOUR WAY TO ME 
FOR I AM BABALON 
MOTHER OF ABOMINATIONS
HOLIEST OF WHORES
AND GUARDIAN OF THE ABYSS
WHO ASKS THAT ALL YOUR EGO BE POURED INTO MY CHALICE
SO YOU CAN DISSOLVE ALL IMAGINARY BELIEFS OF RIGHT OR WRONG

I AM THE DIVINE MIRROR
REFLECTING CLEARER
AND I AM SHE WHO BLURS THE BINARY OF THE SACRED AND PROFANE
AND I OFFER MY PROTECTION 
AND LOVING FEROCITY TO THOSE WHO FOLLOW ME
WHO CHOOSE TO SELL SEX OR SEXUALITY 
AND I BLESS THE VESSEL AND THE TRANSMISSION OF FLESH 

MAY YOU PERCEIVE EVERYTHING AS HOLY
MAY YOU KNOW THE FLESH AS THE WAY TO THE DIVINE
MAY YOUR SACRED EROTIC ESSENCE EMPOWER YOU ON THIS PATH
TO ACCEPT ALL INTO YOUR HEART WITHOUT JUDGMENT

THE GODDESS STEPS OFF HER BEAST AND MOVES TOWARD YOU AND SHE REACHES OUT AND TOUCHES YOU. SHE PULLS YOU TOWARDS HER AND WHISPERS IN YOUR EAR, SHARING A SECRET JUST FOR YOU.

YOU FEEL YOURSELF STEEPED IN YOUR EROTIC POWER. GIVEN PERMISSION TO BE FULLY EXPRESSED. TO OWN YOUR SHADOW. TO FUCK YOUR DEMONS. TO DISSOLVE ALL IDEAS OF WHO AND WHAT YOU ARE. THE GODDESS SMILES AT YOU AND MOVES BACK TO HER BEAST. SHE MOUNTS IT AND AS THEY BEGAN TO WANDER YOU BEGIN TO FEEL THE EDGES OF YOUR BODY AGAIN. YOU FEEL ECSTATIC, ILLUMINATED, TURNED ON. YOU KNOW THAT THIS IS THE BEGINNING AND THAT THIS SENSE OF BLISS IS EVER PRESENT. YOU BEGIN TO COME BACK TO YOUR BREATH, AND AS YOU’RE READY, YOU OPEN YOUR EYES, 

SPELL

You may wish to perform this spell for the protection of sex workers in the name of Babalon after performing the above meditation. Grab a white or red candle. Anoint this with any oil or herbs that you like (honey, Abramelin oil, olive oil, roses, cinnamon…etc). Close your eyes and feel into your body, praying to Our Lady Babalon once again if you’d like. As you feel called, light the candle and say the following.

BABALON
SCARLET WOMAN OF THE APOCALYPSE
GODDESS OF THE DIVINE EROTIC
WE PRAY TO YOU AND CALL ON YOUR POWER
TO GUIDE THIS WORKING IN YOUR HONOR

HOLY IS THE WHORE
SACRED IS THE SLUT 
AND IN YOUR NAME WE CAST THIS SPELL OF PROTECTION ON SEX WORKERS NEAR AND FAR

BABALON
MOTHER OF ABOMINATIONS 
MAY YOU PROTECT YOUR CHILDREN
WITH THE UTMOST RAGE AND PASSION 
MAY THOSE UNHEARD BE HEARD WITH A VENGEANCE
MAY YOU ALLOW JUSTICE TO BE IMMINENT

AND SO IT FUCKING IS

Take a moment to hold your palms out towards your candle and feel all the energy you just raised being sent to sex workers all over the world. You may close your eyes if you wish. Feel yourself fully present, imbibed with the divinity of Babalon. Stay here as long as you like.

When you are done, let your candle burn all the way down, placing it in your sink if necessary. If you can’t let it burn all the way down, snuff, or fan it out-do NOT blow it out as this is said to blow out the spell’s power- and then relight it as you focus on your intention for this working. If there is excess wax you can throw this out at a garbage can at a 3 or 4-way intersection (the modern witches crossroad).
