I discovered Ammon Hillman through friends. Guy friends, I guess I should say. One in particular (Hi Troy) said Hillman’s work reminded him of me. Well not me exactly—but some of the things I obsess over.
Initially disgusted, I quickly became addicted: proof that what I was dealing with was a drug. I have no idea if his scholarship holds water and I don't care. He’s the most intoxicated reader out there.
Ammon Hillman serves a Lady, and this is something the avant garde could use a lesson in. Burroughs, of course, murdered his wife. I want Hillman to teach us a thing or two about Medea.
I’ve invited him to exit the internet and meet us in reality, with a “lecture” on Lady Babylon herself, the day after Easter.
An audiovisual presentation, including never-before-heard dithyrambic music composed by one of the reigning guitar gods of our time, is accompanied by ceremonial food, drink, and fumigations offered to all who attend.
Ammon Hillman intends to fuck us up—so expect a strong experience. I will engage him in conversation following his presentation.

Using numerous Ancient Greek texts including the cult writings of the Orphics, several trustworthy medical works, a sacred untranslated communion formula taken from Nero’s library, the Latin of an obscure mystic tragedian we call The Dragon, the songs of drug using Maenads and the only surviving written words of an actual guardian of the Sibylline Books, I open a portal to the unseen reality of a human history that will shock, amaze and reconfigure our perception of historical reality.
This is going to rub the wrong way.
This is going to rub the wrong way.

Numa and Egeria. He records what she sings. She sings Roman Religion into existence.

Dr. Ammon Hillman (b. 1971, USA) was recently investigated by the Catholic Church for demon possession and portal opening on the grounds of a Catholic university campus while professor of Classical Languages. His YouTube channel, Lady Babylon, is dedicated to the Queen of Many Names and her Cup of Abominations. He exposes the sacred Mystery found in our ancient texts and uncovers the Apocalypse. Face first; awake and unafraid.
