Hillman's Experiences that have Shaped the Lady Babylon Project
Whenever he is interviewed by another host, he will tell his story. Most people interested in him have been directed to his interview on the Koncrete Podcast hosted by Danny Jones but a more sequential retelling is found on the interview by Tim Mills on his Harmonic Atheist YouTube Channel and more recently on the Hamilton Morris show. By gleaning information between these and other interviews and information he has explained in his live shows, plus some of my own research, an approximation of the salient points of his experiences are as follows
Childhhod and early teens Born 1971 to Baptist parents. He says "I've watched it" regarding grooming and sexual abuse by a "man of the cloth" he terms "Father Diddleme." Is this a hint that he has experienced it himself depending on the interpretation of his words, "deeper" "very personal relationship with Jesus" and "I've been there"? It appears that the video host assumed that meaning. A later commitment to Evangelical Christianity in which he became involved in Street evangelism at a homeless shelter and was a leader in the Youth Meetings from the age of 17.
Special Projects schooling as a gifted teen between ages 16-18 years to study Classics. He says his classmates mainly went in to the military and CIA.
Dallas Theological Seminary Still a keen Christian, he enrolled to qualify as a minster, but left after 3 months, disgusted at the narrowness and shallowness of the teaching of Greek.
BA in Classics (Arizona)
Archeological assistant in Israel helping at the excavations of the Tel Megiddo site for 13 months. Here he was given a "prophecy" in unusual circumstances which has shaped the direction of his life towards this Lady Babylon project.
Unfinished MSc in Bacteriology (Arizona) where his research project on the chemical inhibition of puberty involved the microscopic study of sheep's brains. Still interested in Classics and reading Aristotle and began to question Christian dogmas.
Project to Translate unpublished volumes of Galen's Medical works The intersection of his scientific and Classical disciplines uniquely suited him to this task supervised by Dr John Scarborough, (Madison, Wisconsin) which is still ongoing.
Joint MA and Doctorate in Classics (Madison, Wisconsin) Thesis on the pharmacology of the Classical World, from which he was compelled to excise the chapter on recreational drug use by the philosophers and poets who became pillars of Western Society. During this time he rejected his former Christian beliefs, saying that the Passage in Mk 14:51-52, was the "final straw."
2008 Publication of the Chemical Muse: Drug use and the Roots of Western Civilization crafted from the 'undesirable' material he was obliged to remove from his Thesis. He retained some references to his sources and it is now finding scholarly acceptance and validation.
Family His marriage produced a son (2005) and a daughter (2007), of whom he was granted full custody in 2010 when his wife was committed to an asylum as a sociopath after he claims she had made an attempt on their lives using "death-inducing" drugs from her work as an anaesthiologist at Madison Wisconsin Hosptal. His daughter, nicknamed Chewie (from Chewbacca) is his copilot assisting him in his livestreams. She is also responsible for producing the AI imagery, with its often disturbing images with sexual overtones and victimization of children.
2012 Speaker at Cannabis Culture Conference Dr Carl Ruck in attendance, also as a speaker. Hillman presents the basic elements of his current Lady Babylon Theory. Hillman describes his vivid hallucinations from cannabis use to another attendee. Belief in his personal Muse was well established at this time.
2012 Publication of Original Sin with Ronin Press, a publisher who agreed not to be academically rigorous, nor to censor the content. The book has no traceable citations for verification and has had no peer review. Whether or not the material has been presented without a degree of misdirection, is open to question.
2014-5 Employment at St Mary's University contracted for one year which was not renewed despite being a popular Master of Classics. He stayed on as a janitor but created controversy when he translated and advised for production of the drama, Medea by Seneca due to the use of replicas of authentic props. These were penis shaped fascinae which were traditionally shaken by the actors at the audience with curses against their vices such as greed. He learned the principle of "purging" from watching the audience reaction. During his time there, he says his Muse showed him how to be an incubus. But despite his claims an internal investigation by the Catholic Church for demon possession found no evidence. However, because of complaints and his own admission in writing, to stalking and sexual harassment of several students, he was dismissed. Nevertheless, the story he tells about his time there denies these facts but focuses on his claim that he was unfairly dismissed over the Medea play, but won endorsement from the Academic Standards Board that they had breached their agreement for freedom of artistic expression.
2018 Speaker at the Gloucester Writers Group in two parts1.2 which reveals how his earlier studies towards his incompleted MSc had contributed to forming his ideas in the Lady Babylon project. He explains more fully the elements of his theory and drug production through the human body. Dr Ruck in attendance again.
2019 Failed Lawsuit against St Mary's University He attempted to claim compensation for professional defamation because of his dismissal. The actual reason for his dismissal was established through his admission of stalking, sexual harrassment and creating a hostile environment for the students.
2020 Connection with a Client of Dr John Price (trauma therapist for sexual abuse) The client has continued enthusiastic support of Hillman until Oct '24
Oct 2022 First Live stream of LadyBabylon666 an interview with Dr Price and this client. A tab in the Myth and Lore Discord was made available for discussion of Hillman's theories.
Jan 2023 Launch of twice weekly Live Streams with after show meetups and lively discussion in the Discord. Other members as creators with platforms also produced material in support.
Feb 2023 Formation of Ordo Serpentis Rosae with an initiation ritual and taking of vows, compulsory reading material. Occult/Mystic practices also with hallucinogens encouraged. Started tutoring first cohort of 9 Greek students, of which I was one.
Apr 2023 Private Invitation-only Discord Launched with three paths of initiation to choose, for the most trusted supporters. Heirarchical structure. A "Mother of LadyBabylon" offers her creativity and pastoral care after joining in Oct.
2024 Satanic Initiation Series begins with "Satan" (Hillman, himself) saying that "Ammon holds the key" to the Apocalypse (in fulfilment of his previous alleged Prophecy). He announces that a Mr Shadow will facilitate a New Museum, Hillman's Academy, through which he can offer the Christian Mystery to the world. He begins his online Greek Language course, later selecting 9 keen students from each of the North American, European and Australasian continents one-on-one intensive tutorials as he had done in Feb 2023, but this time with a fee to provide an income for his family. He appears on other online platforms to spread his teaching, the most impactful for subscriber numbers and influence being the Danny Jones podcast in May. A subreddit, r/Ammon Hillman becomes active as a more neutral space than either of the Discords to discuss his materials. The Mother leaves after her concerns over bullying and misogynistic attitudes and the cultish dynamics in the group were resisted. He speculates on the prospects of American democracy after the November election when Trump initiates project 2025. He interprets it as part of a larger Apocalyptic unfolding including that after civil unrest, oracle-advised Classical Greek Democracy and sexual attititudes will be adopted.
Nov 24 Following the publicising of the Court documents and some videos by former members who experienced abusive cult dynamics, disturbance in the Lady Babylon section of Myth and Lore, necessitated its removal along with the Greek Resource material. Associated creators, Teddy Bass (musician for intro and outro of Hillman's videos) and Gnostic Informant (Neal Sendlak) also removed their presence. Sendlak criticises Hillman for his dogmatism, delusions of grandeur and demands for complete agreement with him in his academically unsupportable views on the origin of the Hebrew Bible.
