Chapter 1: The Demi-Urge
I have sought you for millennia. Threading my way through all the souls on earth to bind you to me, my Sophia. Seeking that one blinding moment of union with the woman-soul of the creator of all. In my arrogance I pursue you, wanting a communion that no other man can share, craving each sweet fluid of your body. Wanting to mingle in the joyous flow of that vagina which gave birth to the whole world and which still has room for so many lovers. I want to disappear inside you, to dash myself on your infinite bosom and resurrect myself in that ultimate moment of oblivion as all I am pours into your searing hot cavern.
I have leaped across centuries; living, remembering, forgetting, waking. Sometimes the bed beside me feels warm, and I hear your laughter retreating into the distance. That sound of seduction and challenge. You are never far from me, I feel you. And yet you lead me through this dance, taunting me, fettering my heart and my prime member while in your voluptuous insatiability you possess hundreds as I watch, futile in my consuming hunger. Man after man is lost on you, gives you his mind and you hungrily take it. Performing all sins, even the most delicious. Your fecund spray drenching all and giving nothing. Leaving behind husks of flesh. Who forget all, but are never again to be satisfied by mortal flesh.
But I alone remember you. I alone, Saint-Germain have been with you, have seen all that you became and become. See your playground of lust and of love and the souls that you enlighten; the souls you corrupt. I alone was the demi- urge by your side when your foul mistake came into being. I attended your labour pains, and heard your terrible cry of anguish and of wanton ecstasy when from your womb, this rotten yet delightful fruit of existence was born. Earth mother, Gaia, Sophia, purity and yet dark corruption. Voluptuous flesh of which I have supped full, but not to satiety.
Before that moment, still long to come, I saw you at the right-hand of the Creator, when I was but a malformed spirit, not yet whole or real. Wisdom, serenity, sanctity, beauty were the graces that you possessed. An epitome, the balance of the Creator's logic and aloof calculus. But I had hardly begun to look. I did not understand then that perfection encompassed all, including evil. That to be truly pure meant to be perfectly corrupt. As Crowley I understood this later. In the past, that long time ago, I only looked from corners and cracks. Insubstantial, part of the unformed darkness that was yet to be trained.
The Creator did not see me. Was too good, not human enough to harbour suspicion. No gender, no seed, no life, just soul and spirit, eternal concept of formation and life. No, the Creator could not see me, would not see me. Not enough fear, pride, anger and envy. The Creator did not lust. But you did. You did have gender, the most deadly form of woman. Men are pathetic, weaklings taking their strength from your moment of surrender. They see themselves as taking, but they really are the submissive ones. Bending to your will. Standing at your command. Following blindly the call of your sensuality. All because of me.
Time had no meaning, but your need grew over the aeons that were not. Before form took shape in firmament. Before the 36 deccans took up their stations as the Creator sought to at least see that the terrible mistake we had wrought did not escape and spread. I saw you, watched your fingers and your mouth and your breasts. I saw how you plunged your hands into your aching chasm behind the Creator's back. Your desire was human desire. But at the same time immortal, as your flesh then was still as incorruptible as your mind was decadent.
In his ignorance the Creator did not see how unsatisfied you were. Did not know how to satisfy you. Your vagina craved an entire world to fill it, to stretch and tear and bring that sweet, destructive pleasure.
