Chapter 8 : Death Dragon
Let them curse it who curse the day. who are ready to raise up the
leviathan --Job 3 : 8
The Abyss, in Egypt is a name of the North, and the original
mother of this Abyss, which was Space, was called Typhon, the
Mother of Beginnings, the Mother of the Fields of Heaven, the
Mother of Revolutions (time cycles),1 as well as the Mother of
Gods and Men. She was later made goddess of the constellation
of the Great Bear, Mother-Goddess, and her first son was called
Sut, the Dog-Star in the south. 94
The seven devils or seven heads of the old Dragon… are born in the
mountains of sunset, which shows the same natural genesis in physical
phenomena. They had their birth-place where the sun went down. … in
the West, the Egyptians stationed the Great Crocodile that swallowed
down the lights, sun, moon, and stars, as they set each night, in its
wide-open jaws of darkness. …the crocodile was an ideograph of the
swallowing darkness--and of earth, or the waters below, called the

The Mythological foundations of the religions of Western World have
become a useless mass of contradictions and sheer nonsense, due for
the most part to the politicizing of the Mysteries, which accomplished
nothing other than their destruction, at least in any overtly visible
sense. Thus, the concepts – philosophical and theological – upon
which the magician must construct his system has been obscured,
making it, along with the persecution – in the name of temporal power
- of the myths that underlie much of what we have, and will, encounter
in our explication of the Babalon working need, at least, to be
described in the context from which they are drawn.
