Homunculus by Cameron Preston
The alchemist Paracelsus once proposed that he had created a false human being through his science. Called a homunculus, this creature stood no more than 12 inches tall and does the work usually associated with a golem.
Homunculus - Faust - Mephistopheles
Gretchen
We can see Faust as the core of a complex being living within a net of polarities. Helen the ideal archetypal feminine, and Gretchen the earthly female from which he cuts himself off.
Crowley's main texts on sex magic include: Of the Nature of the Gods; Liber Agape - the Book of the Unveiling of the Sangraal de Arte Magica; and Of the Homunculus, most of which are included in Francis King, ed. The Secret Rituals of the O.T.O.
