Blood of the Saints
“I have feasted myself on the blood of the saints … for the wine of the cup is the blood of the saints. his concubine, that hath made him drunk upon the blood of the saints that she hath gathered in her golden cup … and the elixir of life that is distilled from the blood of the saints”—eqi05016 The Atu (Keys or Trumps) Bookmark this page on these social networks Bookmark this page on these social networks
“it is said that the Magick Cup is filled with the blood of the Saints”—Book 4, Part II
“This Cup is said to be full of the Blood of the Saints; that is, every “saint” or magician must give the last drop of his life's blood to that cup. It is the original price paid for magick power. And if by magick power we mean the true power, the assimilation of all force with the Ultimate Light, the true Bridal of the Rosy Cross, then is that blood the offering of Virginity, the sole sacrifice well-pleasing to the Master, the sacrifice whose only reward is the pain of child-bearing unto him.”—Chapter VII The Formula Of The Holy Graal: Of ABRAHADABRA: and of certain other Words. Also: The Magical Memory.
“The twelfth Aethyr describes the City of the Pyramids, whose queen is called BABALON, the Scarlet Woman, in whose hand is a cup filled with the blood of the saints. Her ecstasy is nourished by the desires which the Masters of the Temple have poured from their hearts for her sake. In this symbolism are many mysteries concealed. One is that if a single drop of blood be withheld from her cup it putrefies the being below the Abyss and vitiates the whole course of the adept's career.”—Chapter 66
“Beneath his feet is the kingdom, and upon his head the crown. He is spirit and matter; he is peace and power; in him is Chaos and Night and Pan, and upon BABALON his concubine, that hath made him drunk upon the blood of the saints that she hath gathered in her golden cup, hath he begotten the virgin that now he doth deflower. And this is that which is written: Malkuth shall be uplifted and set upon the throne of Binah11). And this is the stone of the philosophers that is set as a seal upon the tomb of Tetragrammaton, and the elixir of life that is distilled from the blood of the saints, and the red powder that is the grinding-up of the bones of Choronzon.”—PAZ
“I used to do crosses-at-the-cup after realizing the shortcomings of crosses-at-the-priest. My rationale was that the cup held the blood of the saints. Yet there is a certain commonality with the incense idea just quoted, in that the cup of dark wine is a traditional scrying tool, and illusions may be evoked into it just as into the smoke of the incense.”—Addenda to Advice for Deacons
“The blood the adept drains into the Cup symbolizes the personality or ego that must be annihilated in order to traverse the Abyss. As stated in Liber ABA, '…the Ego-idea must be ruthlessly rooted out before Understanding can be attained.' This blood is sometimes referred to as the blood of the saints, a saint being one who sacrifices everything, even his life, in devotion to a deity or the principle of enlightenment. 'Blessed are the saints, that their blood is mingled in the cup, and can never be separate any more.'“—The Formula of the Cup of Babalon
“I have seen Our Lady drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus! And when I saw her I wondered with great admiration.”—Feast of Babalon
“And I saw the woman
drunken with the blood of the saints,
And with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus
And when I saw her
I wondered with great admiration.”—A Discourse on the Second Article
“The wine in the cup is the blood of the saints;
As Babalon dips in Her finger and paints
A seal on my heart with Her name written on;
I raise up the cup and adore Babalon!”—In Nomine Babalon: 156 Adorations to the Scarlet Goddess CXLIV
“In the Saints Collect, the crosses are made towards the Shrine and the Cup, which contains the blood of the Saints (c.f. Liber CLVI v. 3, and Apocalypse XVII:6)“—An Astral Account of the Gnostic Mass
“If I am trying to be offensive, I say that it is the adulation & adoration of the Great Whore Babalon as she rides (thrust hips) upon the Beast 666 and the pursuit of the Blood of the Saints to fill her cup so to increase her drunkeness.”—Bookmark this page on these social networks
“The Cup contains the blood of the Saints (XVII:6): “thou hast given them blood to drink, for they are worthy” (XVI:6) says the third angel of judgment.”—APOCALYPTIC SYMBOLISM in the Gnostic Mass
“Let it be understood that the Immaculate Virgin is a necessary concept; but it must be equilibrated by the opposite concept, since no idea that is not thus balanced by its opposite can exist above the Abyss. See Liber XXV, and Liber V, and Liber XXX VI. BABALON in Greek is MAPIE, Maria. She is the Immaculate Virgin, the Woman Clothed with the Sun—Maia with the solar “R” in her womb. But she is SIMULTANEOUSLY the Great Whore, the Shameless One who gets drunk on the blood of the saints. She is Nature, whose mystery is eternally inviolate, the Veiled Isis; and she is the Diana of the Ephesians, frenetically copulating with, and giving suck to, all her creatures: Isis Unveiled, the Heavenly and Earthly Venus. Beyond them, uniting their aspects in a single Female Symbol, is Isis Urania —NUIT.”—The Commentaries of AL Chapter II
“However in alchemy, wine is considered at one “semen” and it could represent “thick leavings of semen” which indeed are semen itself, not used in procreative purposes. Also it could mean menstral blood itself as that is also symbolic of wine, also it could be “wine” meaning the blood of the Saints, or thick leavings being blood after war, or a bloodbath.”—On the Bloody Eucharist
