The offspring of these Angels, the Nephilim, were the inheritors of
some of the powers of their (non-human) parents. In I Enoch and
Genesis, the Angels or “Sons of God” mingled with humanity but
Grant sees this as a myth which survives from the pre-history, as
mankind did not yet exist but was, in a sense created by the Nephilim:
They were non-human entities; that is to say they pre-dated the human
life-wave on this planet, and their powers- which would today appear
unearthly-derived from extra-spatial dimensions. They impregnated
the aura of the earth with the magical seed from which the human
foetus was ultimately generated 260 .
The call to Babalon’s children in Liber 49 to Gather together in the
covens as of old…Gather together in public, in song and dance and
festival. Gather together in secret, be naked and shameless and rejoice
in my name is, I believe, an invitation to reconnect with the ancient,
primal Universe as experienced by our ancestors. While Wicca has
focused on being a “nature” religion, the Witchcraft envisioned by
Parsons is, as described in the fore-going chapter, the reversion of the
norms of society and, in connecting with these hidden currents, restore
the balance of light and dark, Night and Day. It is not, I think, a retreat
into a pastoral Golden Age (which never existed, in any case) but an
exhortation to become as the gods we are.
For the ultimate goal of every “Star” must be ascend the Tree of Life
unto the brink of Da’ath and face the guardian of the Gate, the Dweller
on the Threshold, and pass the final pylon. This Work, the “Great
Work” of Crowley, etc., was called by Parsons the Black Pilgrimage.
A final note: Two Names often associated with the Witchcult are
Lucifer and Baphomet and while these beings will be dealt with in
future works I have planned, I should mention that NAEQ6 provides a
clue to deciphering these symbols as Baphomet has the NAEQ6 value
128, Lucifer the value 110 and the “dreaded Nahsi” who worshipped
NSR-RA 261 , as Nahsi = 47. 128, 110 and 47 all reduce to 11 as they
are “of us”. (see also the “Prince” of Chorazin, below)

Lucifer.
