Anthony Testa - The Key of the Abyss.pdf

Kenneth Grant, in one of his more well-known statements said
“Parsons opened a door and something flew in.” This recalls the earlier
discussion of the Enochian Apocalypse by Donald Tyson and, even
though he does not mention Parsons in that essay, was surely familiar
with the story. One thing that is striking, however, is that while
Parsons certainly was devoted to magick, it does not appear from the
records we have that he set out to kick start Armageddon. Rather, as
his letter to Crowley, quoted above shows; l have had the most
important - devastating experience of my life between February 2 and
March 4. I believe it was the result of the 9th working with the girl who
answered my elemental summons. This seems to indicate that, indeed
as Grant says, Parsons opened a door - and whatever was waiting on
the other side allowed Parsons to think it was in fact the Goddess
Babalon.
But was it? And if so, what is the nature of such a being?
