{"product_id":"approaching-babalon-georgia-van-raalte-9781716408724","title":"Approaching Babalon: Essays for the Abyss","description":"Approaching Babalon presents a series of essays exploring the Goddess Babalon, the Divine Feminine, the Dark Mother, and the ever-revolving circuit of Sex and Death which lies at the centre of the Mysteries. An overview and introduction to the Goddess Babalon that takes a different road to that of Crowley and his followers, Approaching Babalon draws on the insights of Thelema, Ceremonial Magic, Critical Theory, Liberation Theology and the Decadents to weave its magico-theological poetics. Centralising the body and bodily experience, the author rejects patriarchal mysticisms which seek to flee from the body and the world and slink off into the pure white light of heavenly rationalist sanitized boredom. Inspiring, erotic and deeply poetic, the text reaches ecstatic heights as it offers a kaleidoscopic vision of magic, sexuality, spirituality, ritual and the body in the time of the apocalypse.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Georgia Van Raalte\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1716408725\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781716408724\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Lulu.com\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/20\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 152\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.26lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.00h x 4.25w x 0.33d","brand":"Georgia Van Raalte","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43943948157183,"sku":"9781716408724","price":21.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_2d340c9e-c9d5-472b-bedd-d7254716f60c.jpg?v=1681500921","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/approaching-babalon-georgia-van-raalte-9781716408724","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
