Daughter of Fortitude (Earth, virgin, heaven, religion, science)

[Halcyon]

I think this is the right place for this...

Anyone heard of this message/vision by Edward Kelley?

Unknown Goddess to Edward kelley, 17th century

Alternative Religion/ Library Received by Edward Kelley and Dr. John Dee while scrying:
"I am the daughter of Fortitude, and ravished every hour from my youth. For behold I am Understanding and science dwelleth in me; and the heavens oppress me. They cover and desire me with infinite appetite; for none that are earthly have embraced me, for I am shadowed with the Circle of the Stars and covered with the morning clouds. My feet are swifter than the winds, and my hands are sweeter than the morning dew. My garments are from the beginning, and my dwelling place is in myself. The Lion knoweth not where I walk, neither do the beast of the fields understand me. I am deflowered, yet a virgin; I sanctify and am not sanctified. Happy is he that embraceth me: for in the night season I am sweet, and in the day full of pleasure. My company is a harmony of many symbols and my lips sweeter than health itself. I am a harlot for such as ravish me, and a virgin with such as know me not. For lo, I am loved of many, and I am a lover to many; and as many as come unto me as they should do, have entertainment.
"Purge your streets, O ye sons of men, and wash your houses clean; make yourselves holy, and put on righteousness. Cast out your old strumpets, and burn their clothes; abstain from the company of other women that are defiled, that are sluttish, and not so handsome and beautiful as I, and then will I come and dwell amongst you: and behold, I will bring forth children unto you, and they shall be the Sons of Comfort. I will open my garments, and stand naked before you, that your love may be more enflamed toward me."

That's the one Mich.

It has some similarities with Thunder, which i thought were interesting, but no one seems to be aware of it here to discuss with .

I've read about this vision before. Some Thelemites feel that this was the Whore of Babylon (or to Thelemites, Babalon) communicating with Kelley before the "Aeon of Horus."

It does seem to have similarities with The Thunder Perfect Mind.

There is a song about it by David J, called the enochian angel of the 7th aethyr. I found it on youtube but it says I can't post the link to it. So I guess you'll have to google it if you want to watch it.

For some time I have been fascinated with the comparison of Babalon, Inanna/Ishtar, Babylon the Great, the Woman Clothed in the Sun, Thunder Perfect Mind, and the Daughter of Fortitude. Peter Grey of the Scarlet Imprint has an excellent book on the subject entitled The Red Goddess that I highly recommend. I would love to continue my worship of Her but alas, the years and analysis have left me an atheist.

I'd say Kelly could have been skrying a message describe Nu or Nuit.

Possibly a Babalon-esque entity...

I LOVE THUNDER PERECFT MIND! I've performed a ritualistic verision of it a couple of times.
Peter Grey is OK... bit too into his own thing imo...
I'm very close friends with his old house mate.

Pleased to e-meet you Rook

Yes I'd agree with this as a possibility.

I'd say it was more liekly NUIT than BABALON though.

Babalon is more Earth, Nuit is more Space
