kisses, giving them pleasant dreams, but (as with Lamia, and the Succuba) they die
afterwards of vain longings. Lilith became the consort of Samael and together they are
“the Beast,” and the producers of evil beings. She appears as the richly robed bride of this
evil angel, captivating men with her sparkling eyes of love, and her beauty, and making
the home unhappy. Hence she is called “the harlot,” and she was the spirit of jealousy,
hating Adam, and his meek consort Eve, and introducing the apple of discord. She
appeared on the tree of life—as a human headed serpent—in medieval missals.
And in the article “Kabbala”: “Thence came the material world, also with 10 degrees of
badness or grosser Sephiroth, 1 of Chaos, 2 of Darkness, and 7 of the seven Hells.
These were ruled by Samael and his consort, who together are the Beast.”
Now, if this makes sense, recall that the Kabbalists also imagined them going at it
under the throne. So, the throne, in a sense, is resting on “the Beast”. Curiously, the tiein,
between Mesopotamia and Enochian, is the concept of “the throne”, that I was
researching just earlier this year. Wild.
I’m slowly putting all this together. I’ve traced the Lilith concept into one translation
of Zohar, and am working on another. Her name comes from lil, night, and is believed
to be a very primitive root.
I too revisited Liber 49, just last week. I can’t recall if I’ve ever “gone into” the 7 th
Æthyr. My journals seem silent on the matter.

Jack Parsons’ blunder on the Seventh Aire
Liber 49 mentioned above is part of The Book of Babalon received by Jack Parsons. In
line 23 Babalon instructs Parsons: “Also seek me in the Seventh Aire.” On re-reading
the text I was surprised to see that Parsons had blundered in his fifth invocation by
intoning in Enochian the 7 th Angelic Key, which, though the 7 th Call, is not “The Call
of the Seventh Aire”, as he erroneously titles it. He should have substituted deo for lil
in the 19 th Key, the Key of the 30 Aires, to access the 7 th Aire or Æthyr. This seems a
very basic error for someone who had been “engaged in the study and practice of Magick
for seven years, and in the supervision and operation of an occult lodge for four years”,
as he writes of himself in the introduction to The Book of Babalon. In addition, the 7 th
Key that Parsons reproduces is also missing several words and corrupts others. In this
