The BVM transforms into Lilith: Faustine is the Key.


I had gone up to the holy chapel and was about to open the door when I saw written on it in letters of fire, Dare not to enter, thou whom I have spewed out of my mouth.

I saw on every side an abyss full of hideous monsters who called me brother.

I called on the Divine Mary, Mother of God, to help me. . .Suddenly I saw great
whirlpools of flame across from the abyss into which I was about to fall. I heard yells of furious exultation and could pray no longer, when a voice filled my ears.

Behold Mary, whom you called your shield against us, behold her gracious smile,
hear her gracious voice. I saw her above the abyss. Her eyes of heavenly blue were filled with fire, her red lips were violet, her mild and divine voice had become terrible and like a thunderbolt she hurled these words at me:

Writhe, proud one, in the burning regions inhabited by devils.

The horned succubus Faustine has been damned. It is only through her capacity for self sacrifice that the Seven Palms may achieve redemption.

The Evil Demon Lilith in South Beach



This is the most vile and wicked Demon in The Mystery of the Seven Palms, Lilith. I know you've already heard the stories of cradle robbings and baby roastings --- that gory scene is one of the highlights of the graphic novel. I think Aleister Crowley is the Barbeque Master (the closest to Baphomet I could get). He's roasting an OTO Minerval. He likes them by the batches.

Anyway, Lilith is the hostess of this witches' sabbath in the Vault of the Adepti. Aiwaz, Bes-na-Maut and the usual suspects are there. I believe that the problem starts when Mathers refuses to eat the BBQ and upbraids AC for roasting a Theosophist's child. He says the meat is too fatty for him. Similar hilarities break out amongst the Magi and an orgy ensues. What a surprise!
