Liber AL vel Legis Chapter 1 by Sekhet-Maat Lodge

MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF THE PROSTITUTES AND OF THE ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.

"The Thunder, Perfect Mind" was discovered at Nag Hammadi amidst a compelling body of Gnostic texts. It evinces a unified Divine Feminine of unprecedented antiquity.

Because several passages are missing from the text, a complete readthrough may never be possible. These selections are intended to capture the essence of the original material. This recording was prepared in celebration of the 2016 Thelemic holy season. On April 3 2016, initiates of Ordo Templi Orientis used it in a dramatic presentation of Liber Cheth vel Vallum Abiegni (sub figura CLVI) at Sekhet Maat Lodge in Portland, Oregon.

"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 m drewlling 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." ~from the scrying sessions of Edward Kelley and John Dee
