Acercándose A Babalon presenta una serie de ensayos que exploran a la Diosa Babalon, el Divino Femenino, la Madre Oscura, y el siempre cambiante circuito de Sexo y la Muerte que yace en el centro de los Misterios. Como una visión general y una introducción a la Diosa Babalon que toma un camino diferente al de Crowley y sus seguidores, Acercándose A Babalon se basa en las ideas de Thelema, la Magia Ceremonial, la Teoría Crítica, la Teología de la Liberación y los Decadentes para tejer su poética mágico-teológica.Centrándose en el cuerpo y la experiencia corporal, la autora rechaza los misticismos patriarcales que pretenden huir del cuerpo y del mundo y escabullirse hacia la luz blanca y pura del aburrimiento aséptico racionalista celestial. Inspirador, erótico y profundamente poético, el texto alcanza cotas de extásis al ofrecer una visión caleidoscópica de la magia, la sexualidad, la espiritualidad, el ritual y el cuerpo en el tiempo del Apocalipsis.

This book is a collection of the poems, visions, dreams and provocations that I have written throughout the past six years of my devotion to the Goddess Babalon. Some of these pieces I composed, consciously and carefully. The best of them came like a flood and were written with a pressure that flowed directly from my unconscious through to my fingers. I call this process channelling, for like the tides I am helpless to resist this pressure.These writings chart my story as a Priestess and Devotee through a series of loves and losses, fertilities and fallow years. Throughout all, Our Lady was my constant companion: this is my magical record, a map of the secret caves we have created together.This is a Reliquary of the Imaginal, a storehouse of images of the Infinite Goddess, Our Lady of the Compost Heap. Flick through its pages and discover Her worlds. Whether you are an old friend or a new one, poised at the beginning, I welcome you to the dark and intimate caverns of my imagination. May you find in these pages what it is that you seek.
