THE BOOK OF BABALON
B A B A L O N
THE SEAL OF BABALON[1] Used thus far (Oct. 9, 1924 e.v.) g in A
I. OCT. 3 a. Letter to Dr. Jarvis [Dr. Charles Jarvis] (omitting 3-4-3) b. Letter to Aimée [Aimée Gouraud] (blundering by starting with thumb and omitting 3-4-3) c. Letter to The Scribe Ankh-af-na-Khonsu (Registered)
Written before 5.30 P.M. on Friday Oct. 3, 1924 e.v.
These were given to Parsifal [Norman Mudd] to post but before he went out I places this seal on him as follows:
II. Oct. 3 The Penis of Parsifal, by placing and pressing my left forefinger on the tip if his penis, saying the numbers 3-4-3.
III. Oct. 7 The envelope enclosing 3 letters to 666.
These letters were marked.
I. Red paper and envelope as per P. II. Yellow paper and envelope as per P. III. Blue paper and envelope as per P.
These envelopes were left unsealed—the seal only on the white envelope enclosing them.
IV. OCT. 9 The seal placed at the beginning of this book.
V. OCT. 10 (Very weak and in a sort of unconscious way) on packet for Aimée (my miniature).
VI. Oct. 11 One each of the following left at 64 Ave. du Maine (more as a mark of recognition than as protection, i.e. consciously so).
Trunk 2 cases 1 sleeping bag 2 packets of books—7 copies of Yi in each 1 top hat Pictures in cellar not so marked but left at 64.
If there are any others, they are of no import. I have a vague recollection that there were.
This ends, so far as she knows for the present at any rate, the need for the Seal of Babalon, in the spirit used thus far.
Here follow copies of letters sent to 666—with detailed accounts and explanations—not worth copying. 666 has or had these letters and that is enough.
11.30 A.M. Oct 12/[19]24 e.v. AN. XX Aeon of Horus
Notes on Seal of Babalon
1. Some time previous I talked to Z about this and decided nothing definite.
2. Since then I began to see a little and I shall use this book now to joy down whatever occurs to me or whatever work I am actually doing with regard to the Seal of Babalon.
Just to clean up.
3. a. The actual seal—red—wax imprint of left forefinger was the first of these. b. My placing that forefinger on the Mentula of Z was the second. c. The next a plan (very vague) of a robe for myself—Oct. 6. d. The last, the marks on the covers of this book—Oct. 9.
Front Egg—sun and moon—rays of sun; Centre tho' at first a definite blue egg finally messed up.
All of these have to do with uniting

and harmonising (5) Blue—the 5th.

Designs—some appended—and 3.30 P.M. Nov. 14—
I place the seal of Babalon on you, Fra V.L. [Adam Murray]
1—The seal of Babalon consists of the imprint of her left forefinger with the numbers 3-4-3 (I omitted these numbers I think on documents 1 and 2—also I started to use left thumb with No. 2 and felt that that shot would not reach home.

AN EXAMPLE OF BRAVADO, LUST OF RESULT and all the rest of them.
But in typing, I find it is worse that all that.
