- Beware Walpurgis Night
Walpurgis NIght and the Vampire: The Influence of Bram Stoker’s Dracula
Countess Bathory, La Noche de Walpurgis
Perhaps it has to do with the phases of the Moon.
It is under the rays of the moon that all life on earth is fecundated. When she shows her bright face to us, the spirits of fertility come out [...] - Babalon Diaries # 7: Foxy Red
This is the seventh in a series of posts about my adventures during 2005, leading up to the performance of Paul Green’s play Babalon. The story is full of cloak and dagger, initiatory strangeness, chaos, and hysteria. It shows what can happen on the Magical path if one is not careful…(as if one has choice…)

Babalon Diary 666
This is the sixth in a series of posts about my adventures during 2005, leading up to the performance of Paul Green’s play Babalon.

Haxan
Warning: This film is a bit naughty in places. In others, it is Diabolical.
I think Haxan must mean Witchcraft in Swedish as Hexen is witch in German…
For those who see beyond the stereotypes of Witchcraft, this disturbing little film is campy, funny, wildly imaginative, and loaded with interesting special effects and iconic images that stir [...] - What is the Connection Between Maxine Sanders and Sharon Tate?
The Devil’s Eye
In her autobiography, Firechild, Maxine Sanders discussed her meeting with Sharon Tate in 1965.

Maxine Sanders is the famous Alexandrian High Priestess from England . I strongly identify with her, for I believe she was born with the Witchblood. As a teenager in the 1960’s, she defied the stereotype of the hag witch with the youth, beauty, and charisma of the Enchantress. Partnered with Alex Sanders, she was instrumental [...]
- Creating Sacred Space: Part 2
Above, Below, and Between
In the preceding article, Creating Sacred Space, I described how to create a Magic Circle based on the Four Directions of the compass. East, South. West, and North. This is the horizontal Place Between the Worlds, but there at three vertical directions needed to complete the Astral Temple that really takes one [...] - Dante Gabriel Rossetti: The Card Dealer
by Mary Greer
Pre-Raphaelite artist and poet Dante Gabriel Rossetti’s first published poem, “The Card-Dealer,” was based on a painting by Theodore von Holst (1810-1844) called “The Wish” or “The Fortune-Teller” (1840). The poem, which epitomized Rossetti’s fascination with the theme of the femme fatale, was inspired by the painting that he described as being of [...]
- Babalon Diaries: Pharaon’s Grimoire Comes to Life
This is the fifth in a series of posts about my adventures during 2005, leading up to the performance of Paul Green’s play Babalon. The story is full of cloak and dagger, initiatory strangeness, chaos, and hysteria. It shows what can happen on the Magical path if one is not careful…(as if one has choice…)

This picture by Victorian painter, George Wilson, looks like Persephone coming out of the Underworld. The pomegranate in her hand releasing the spell of Hades, so that Spring can come back to the land. I think a poem by Victorian poet, Alfred Lloyd Tennyson fits with it nicely.
Tennyson: Demeter and Persephone
Faint as a climate-changing [...]
