Babalon: Adventures in Sex Magick

By: Seth Cardorra

Narrated by: Persephone Rose

The scarlet woman. The red goddess. The girl next door.

She is the female sexual impulse, the liberated woman, the one who is totally in charge. She's got some things to say, some sweet moves to teach, and some magick and enchantment to bestow. If you've got the fuel, then she's got the spark, so whether you strap on or strap in, it's time to get funky.

In the crazy wisdom tradition of sassy seminal works like the Principia Discordia and the Illuminatus! Trilogy, we are treated to the haught and harrowing journey of Prophet Dick as he has a particularly raunchy and enlightening encounter with the ultimate sexual power.

Herein you will find wisdom, spells, and a complete spiritual system that has been gently simmered in the sauce of destiny and presented to you in the most alluring and enticing form possible.

Enjoy, achieve gnosis, find ultimate power, and when it's all over, don't forget to tip your server and wash your hands.

yawn

what a waste of time. I need at list 15 words so I'll add that I'm pissed off about wasting a credit on this shite.

... not sure how to review this one...

I was given this free review copy audio book at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

So... I'm not sure what I just listened to... Persephone Rose is a good narrator, if a bit dramatic, but dang... I mean, he kept my interest, which is why I was able to finish the book, but I can't say as I liked it. Initially, I was intrigued by the premise of a sex diety's "teachings" but I can't say that I understand what I actually got. Kind of felt like satyrical parody of the occult, but I'm not sure if it was supposed to be funny or not... As I write this, I'm still just shaking my head. I get this probably isn't very helpful, but I'm just not sure what else to say about it.

A unique kind of comedy

The ridiculous prophecies and rituals of a sex deity, read like an old world testament but packed full of modern day references and utter nonsense.

Mix of textbook and diary

I've listened to a few of Persephone Roses' narrations; and he's easily the best part of this book. However, the entire book is written like it's half diary/half biblical text; and yet it simply cannot maintain a proper tone in either.

And tbh, for a novel titled 'adventures in sex magick'; you'd expect to actually read anything kinky. It's boring. It's dry. It wasn't worth the time listening to it.

Good Narrator can not save lousy material.

Would you try another book from Seth Cardorra and/or Persephone Rose?

I believe the Narrator is talented and would listen to another performance.

What could Seth Cardorra have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?

Not to have written it.

Have you listened to any of Persephone Rose’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

No first time.

You didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?

Perhaps it could be used for insomnia.

Any additional comments?
