About The Temple     On Thelema     Via Babalonis     Curriculum     Membership     More Info     Contact   Via Babalonis The way is not of one or another, but of two: halves of one whole. The symmetry of the mind - its ideas and its knowledge, combined with the beauty of the intuitive voice of wisdom. It is the experiential learning that completes the whole, and unites it in a way that is transformation. This is magick of Via Babalonis. The polarity of the female and the male creates a dynamic that enables the direct manifestation of discarnate intelligences within a ritual setting. Thus, direct communication is possible, and the true learning can begin. It is a formula - complex, yet abundant - within the realm of the Natural Universe. Life begins when the sperm and the egg unite: not carried by the sperm into a receptacle, but the union of the two halves, just as Binah and Chokmah unite to form the whole of Kether. The female and the male both hold the secrets, and each are the key for the other to discover and release those secrets. Alone, the secrets are locked away. Together, all can be realized and understood. The struggle is upon us. The spermo-gnostic solar gods fight to retain their domination. We have come to strike a balance. Theirs is not the way to enlightenment. Theirs is the way to enslavement and servitude - to despair and degradation. Our way is to live in beauty and joy, and the bliss of sensual experience, with discipline and discernment. Our path is the harder path: the balanced ecstatic path, like those of all the ways of the divine feminine before us. Our mysteries are shrouded by the night sky. When blood flows, it flows with the force of life, not death. These mysteries are contained within every woman. That is why all seek women. That is why so many despise women. That is why, in woman, 'is all power given'. We are all born from woman. When we die, we return to her, the mother that is the Earth. The Moon, her sister, guides us through time. As women, we are fed by the light that is the sun. His energy feeds us, and helps us grow in strength, honor, and fortitude. His energy heals us, and sustains us, and in return, we bear children and teach them to honor all life, and not be blinded by the brightness of the sunlight, or lost in the darkness of the night. It is the Love that unites us. It is Will that directs us. It is the two that sets us Free.
