magical evocation when it speaks of those “who are skilful to rouse up Leviathan” (thepresence of the name Leviathan is hidden in the King James version, where it is translatedas “mourning”). I am inclined to think of Coronzon as something evoked or invoked,although not necessarily an entity. In Crowley’s Confessions, interestingly enough, oneof the transmogrifying illusory forms Choronzon took as witnessed by the scribe VictorNeuburg, besides a woman he was once in love with, was a human-headed serpent.Choronzon appeared to exert a powerfully disorientating phantasmagoria, as if thiswas all Choronzon was, which was quelled and died down and was known to be gonewhen Crowley wrote the name of Babalon, for the first time spelt this way, in the sandwith his ring. As Crowley noted:The name of the Dweller in the Abyss is Choronzon, but he is not really an individual.The Abyss is empty of being; it is filled with all possible forms, each equally inane, eachtherefore evil in the only true sense of the word—that is, meaningless but malignant,insofar as it craves to become real. [Confessions, p 623]Not Lucifer, not Satan, not the Stooping Dragon, nor even Lilith the only true serpentin the Garden, usually represented in medieval Books of Hours as a human-headedserpent; Crowley’s skrying of the 10 th Æthyr does not read like an encounter with anidentifiable entity so much as an enchantment engulfing both participants who discoverwhen it is over, banished “In Nomine Babalon”, that they have been wrestling with thinair. This picture of Choronzon is to me much more fascinating and profound thanmaking him a cardboard cut-out Satan in some illusory Apocalyptic drama craving tobe real just as were mere dust devils in the desert to Crowley in the name of Choronzon.This is indeed why to cross the Abyss is to come face to face with Choronzon, for weare fully everything we are fooled into believing is real, though it changes before oureyes constantly. The irony is that few things seem more real than Choronzon whenencountered, or as illusory when the ordeal passes, like a storm that has decidedly movedon.“Thou didst shatter the heads of Leviathan, thou didst givehim as food to the desert dwellers.”Psalms 74:14.118
CorrespondenceHow did Crowley know the 10 th Æthyr wasaccursèd before he skryed it?Satyr—How the hell did Crowley know that Choronzon was associated with the 10 thÆthyr before he skryed it? Nothing in the governors of the Æthyr to suggest that norin the name of the Aire, zax (ZAX). Why did he prepare to call Choronzon? If one isgoing to skry the 30 Æthyrs this poses a question: should one also regard the 10 th as theabode of Choronzon and take similar precautions?Crowley begins his preamble to the 10 th : “This Æthyr, being accursèd, and the seerforewarned…” And so he prepared the Circle and Triangle of Art for protection anddemonic constraint, cut the throats of three pigeons as sacrificial victims and let theirblood pour within the three angles of the triangle in which he sat as Seer, not recitingthe Call of the Æthyr until the sand had soaked up their blood. He tooled up Neuburgas Scribe in the circle with a Magick Dagger with strict instructions on oath that heshould not hesitate to strike fearlessly at anything that may break through the circle,even should it have “the appearance of the Seer himself ”, Crowley possessed byChoronzon in other words, which actually happened. Major precautions, he clearlyknew what to expect if we are to believe that the Æthyr was actually skryed in themanner depicted in the published report (the pages being torn out of the ms. notebookand the stated editing and revision of this Æthyr the following day may suggest creativereworking of what actually happened).Taking it at face value, which is how I would far prefer to believe it actually happened,how then did Crowley know the Æthyr was accursèd beforehand, when and how washe forewarned? Choronzon is mentioned in the 11 th , but not necessarily in such a wayas to suggest the 10th was therefore all about Choronzon. Crowley also says that the10 th is accursèd in the 22 nd Æthyr, although without mentioning Choronzon. Workingwith just the Dee material, and not Crowley’s, would I assume the 10 th is associated this119
