Summary

In this episode we talk to Alkistis and Peter from the one and only Scarlet Imprint about the goddess who began it all, Babalon.

We cover John Dee and the Daughter of Fortitude, Jack Parsons and Liber 49, a true history of Babalon and the return of the witch cult.

Such. Fun.

Enjoy!

Show Notes

The book itself, The Red Goddess (As with all Scarlet Imprint titles, including my own, these are not available from Amazon. Before some of you ask. Buy from and support your independent publisher!)

Articles written by Peter and Alkistis mentioned in the show:

The Daughter of Fortitude Transmission

"I am the daughter of Fortitude, and ravished every hour from my youth. For behold I am Understanding and science dwelleth in me; and the heavens oppress me. They cover and desire me with infinite appetite; for none that are earthly have embraced me, for I am shadowed with the Circle of the Stars and covered with the morning clouds.

My feet are swifter than the winds, and my hands are sweeter than the morning dew. My garments are from the beginning, and my dwelling place is in myself. The Lion knoweth not where I walk, neither do the beast of the fields understand me. I am deflowered, yet a virgin; I sanctify and am not sanctified. Happy is he that embraceth me: for in the night season I am sweet, and in the day full of pleasure.

My company is a harmony of many symbols and my lips sweeter than health itself. I am a harlot for such as ravish me, and a virgin with such as know me not. For lo, I am loved of many, and I am a lover to many; and as many as come unto me as they should do, have entertainment.

Purge your streets, O ye sons of men, and wash your houses clean; make yourselves holy, and put on righteousness. Cast out your old strumpets, and burn their clothes; abstain from the company of other women that are defiled, that are sluttish, and not so handsome and beautiful as I, and then will I come and dwell amongst you: and behold, I will bring forth children unto you, and they shall be the Sons of Comfort.

I will open my garments, and stand naked before you, that your love may be more enflamed toward me."

0:40.3	I mean it must be what year is this so it's 10 years since you were actually
0:46.2	writing the book what what do you think has changed when it comes to Babylon in the
0:52.1	previous decade?
0:54.0	Well, the terrifying thing is, although it looks like 10 years since I was writing it,
0:59.0	the process of writing it probably took about seven years. So the book is now, the book's now kind of like, you know, 17 years in the magical past, which is quite an alarming thing to see.
1:17.0	But what's changed in the last 10 years has been huge. When we created scholar imprint essentially to publish the Red Goddess,
1:30.0	there was a pretty more about a magical scene at the time.
1:34.0	There was very little practical work being produced.
1:38.0	None of the publishers were doing quite what we were interested in doing and the release of the Red Goddess in the first
1:47.6	edition of 156 copies really really ignited something. So in terms of talismanic publishing it was a pretty
1:56.6	dramatic success and the impetus of that that has really ignited and carried what Scarlet Imprints done for the last 10 years.
2:09.0	And we came in in a pretty interesting crossroads in terms of in terms of the information
