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.
