Peter Grey takes us on a journey through history, searching for the tell-tale scent of the Whore Goddess. We meet her in ancient Babylon and get to really understand why the Old Testament prophets had such a downer on Her. We glimpse her brazen face in the Revelations of St.John, and her more intimate manifestations in the shew stone of John Dee and Edward Kelly. Tracking our quarry further, we spy Her in the work of Crowley and, crucially, see where Crowley couldn't get to grips with this most formidable force. Jack Parsons rounds off the history and brings us up to speed with what the Mother of Harlots has been up to since her début in ancient Persia.

'With Her back-story brilliantly brought to life, we are then offered an insight into the work of making contact with the Goddess through Peter's own work. This is devotional yoga and the key technique is Letting Go. In this sense the methodology of interacting with Babalon is very similar to that recommended by many adepts when dealing with any powerful, transcendent force. There are some inspired suggestions for specific techniques in this volume; the use mirrors, BDSM sexual explorations, drugs, Enochian . . . '  Julian Vayne for Mandrake Speaks 202 (review)
