kaos

version has the graphics in ascii format, and as such, they stink. The next “must read”
text (and I’m sure you already have), is Liber 418 or The Vision and the Voice, or whatever
title it sometimes assumes. It also is available online at:

I can’t stress enough the importance of this document. For me, The Book of the Law
pales in comparison, and, more to our point, it is the “source” from which both “Chaos”
and “Babalon” (as he understood them) spring. I direct your attention, in particular, to
Æthyrs 12 and 4, and refrain from quoting them here in the hope that you will read
them yourself. The 4 th , I think, has the essence of the answer you seek concerning
chaos being a secret name of the Beast. At the conclusion of 418, Crowley gives a brief
outline of the nature of the Visions, and in that of the 24 th he notes: “…the Scarlet
Woman, who by men is thought of as Babalon as he is thought of as Chaos.” With all
due respect, what Grant may or may not have said is immaterial to the question [Ed’s
note—Satyr refers to Grant mentioning that Crowley replaced the name chaos with
aiwass in his own copy of the Gnostic Mass].
There is also a certain identity asserted between chaos and the Magus in the 3 rd
Æthyr, where Crowley receives somewhat of that Vision. At the conclusion thereof, he
is told that the four-fold word chaos is the equivalent of the seven-fold word babalon.
That should get your attention. chaos is further discussed in the 2 nd (a personal favorite),
where the Magister Templi, having become one with chaos, is married to babalon
herself.
I can also endorse Ben Rowe’s material (http://w3.one.net/~browe/enochian.htm),
it’s a fine introduction to the subject.
In passing, I will note that David believed (Crowley’s assumptions notwithstanding),
that the Key to the oto lies in the 15 th Æthyr, which is called oxo (based upon the
name, among other things). I tend to agree with his evaluation. It is also noteworthy
that in this Vision Pan is above the altar. This particular character appears to be
represented in the system as the central governor of the 22 nd Æthyr, paraoan, or so
David believed. It was this entity that David called in Santa Cruz, in a successful group
working, on 15 April 1989. My own calling, somewhat later that same year, and the
data received through my skryer in that operation, appears to confirm his conclusion.
In plowing through my Journals, as best I can tell, paraoan is the source of Chaos that
manifested in our environment.
In all sincerity, these brief comments I’ve made barely scratch the surface of the
subject. For me, the study of Enochian is the study of the Western Tradition. Dee is the
probable cause behind the Rosicrucian movement, and Elias Ashmole’s researches into
the Enochian System is a likely candidate for the source of (modern) freemasonry, and
