And I believe in one Earth,
the Mother of us all,
and in one Womb wherein
all men are begotten,
and wherein they shall rest,
Mystery of Mystery,
in Her name Babalon

Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law.
Rue not now guilt the Devil's dagger who draw!
I swear toward theWest
On BABALON'S bold breast.
I swear toward the South
on Her mad merry mouth.
I swear towards the East
On Her Cup fiery-fleeced.
I swear towards the North
On Her Disk savage-swarth.
I swear toward the Height
On Her five fingers' Spite.
I swear towards the Deep
On Her soul's smiling sleep.
I swear towards the Centre
By Her and Him that sent Her.
I swear this Oath
of Troth
To BABALON--
My own
Sister, and Scarlet
Harlot;
I am Her Priest
The BEAST,
To bring to birth
On earth
My word of awe,
The Law
Of Will, above
Its Love.
To BABALON
Alone
This tempered Oath
Of Troth
In Her chaste Cup
Seal up!
