Urizen in Blake's mythology represents alienated reason, the fallen aspect of god, as the source of oppression. The book describes Urizen as the "primeaval priest" and tells how he became separated from the other Eternals to create his own alienated and enslaving realm of religious dogma.
the Morning Star, Lucifer, is associated with Urizen (It is important to emphasize that their similarities pertain to their fallen form.) ... Lucifer is the first of the seven Eyes of God.
Ahania is the Emanation of Urizen. She is pleasure, particularly sexual pleasure. She is also Pity, spiritual beauty, and the inspiration of the poet.
reason destroying pleasure; nit pikking
Ahania, the manifestation of intellectual desire, is sexual in a fallen state and dismissed by Urizen as sinful. However, as picked up in the later work, Ahania is necessary for a divine wisdom to be attained--only she must look first to the spiritual instead of the physical (i suppose peggy still has time huh
