Here's an excerpt from an article I've posted at Key23 that some of you may be interested in...
-------------------------
The consummation of our alchemical marriage is the union of the new king & queen, now embodied by Chockmah and Binah. Hadit and Nuit; The Whore of Babalon mounts the Great Beast of Chaos. This imagery might be shocking to some but understand that it is, in fact, not derogatory but symbolic of the most high & holy act of Creation. This is the full realization of divinity, gently fading into the Absolute in one eternal moment. It is the engine of creation, for the union of the new king & queen produces two more offspring - a son & daughter - who will eventually replace their parents on the throne and continue the cycle. Thus, life continues unbroken, not through the death and resurrection of the old Aeon of Osiris, but through our marriage to the holy spirit of life and the redemption of our material selves into the kingdom of heaven. Matter, once fallen, is spiritualized and made holy in the image of the Absolute.
