May Ye Have Wisdom



May ye have thy mouth that ye may speak therewith in Wisdom

May ye come forth to Heaven

May ye descend to Earth

May ye never be shut out upon the Road

May there never be done unto ye that which thy soul abhorreth

Let not thy soul be imprisoned

But may ye be among the Venerable and Favored Ones

May ye plough thy lands in the Field of Aaru

May ye arrive at the Field of Peace

May one come out to thee

With vessels of ale, cakes and bread of the Lords of Eternity

May ye receive meat from the altars of the Great Ones.

We Are the Other People

by Oberon Zell


"Ding-dong!" goes the doorbell. Is it Avon calling? Or perhaps Ed McMahon with my three million dollars? No, it's Yahweh's Witlesses again, just wanting to have a nice little chat about the Bible...



Boy, did they ever come to the wrong house! So we invite them in: "Enter freely and of your own will..." (Hey, it's Sunday morning, nothing much going on, why not have a little entertainment?) Diane and I amuse ourselves watching their expressions as they check out the living room: great horned owl on the back of my chair; ceremonial masks and medicine skulls of dragons and unicorns on the wall; crystals, wands, staffs, swords; lots of Goddess figures and several altars; boa constrictors draped in amorous embrace over the elkhorn; white doves sitting in the hanging planters; cats and weasels underfoot; iron dragon snorting steam atop the wood stove; posters and paintings of wizards and dinosaurs and witchy women, some proudly naked; sculptures of mythological beasties and lots more dinosaurs; warp six on the star-filled viewscreen of my computer; a five-foot model of the USS Enterprise and the skeleton of a plesiosaur hanging from the ceiling; very, very many books, most of them dealing with obviously weird subjects... To say nothing of the great horned owl perched on the back of my chair and the Unicorn grazing in the front yard. You know; early Addams Family decor.



And then, of course, it being late in the morning, you can expect Morning Glory to come wandering out naked, looking for her wake-up cup of tea. Morning Glory naked is a truly impressive sight, and the Witlesses look as if she'd set titties on stun as they stand immobilized, hands clasped over their genitals. With the stage set and all the actors in place, the show is ready to begin.



Their mission, of course, it to save our heathen souls by turning us on to "The Word of the Lord" - their Bible. I guess they figure some of us just haven't heard about it yet, and we're all eagerly awaiting their joyous tidings of personal salvation through giving our rational faculties to Jesus. Every time they come around, I look forward to trying out a new riposte. Sure, it may be cruel and sadistic of me, but hey, I didn't call them up and ask them to come over; they entered at their own risk!



This time should be pretty good. After letting them run off their basic rap while lovely Morning Glory serves us all hot herb tea, I innocently remark: "But none of that applies to us. We have no need for salvation because we don't have original sin. We are the Other People."



"Hunh? What?" they reply eloquently. It's clear they've never heard this one before.



"Right," I say. "It's all in your Bible." And I proceed to tell them the story, using their own book for reference:



Genesis 1:26 - The [Elohim] said, "Let us make humanity in our own image, in the likeness of ourselves, and let them be masters of the fish of the sea, the birds of heaven, the cattle, all the wild beasts and all the reptiles that crawl upon the earth."



Elohim is a plural word, including male and female, and should properly be translated "Gods" or "Pantheon."



27 The Gods created humanity in the image of themselves, In the image of the Gods they created them, Male and Female they created them.

28 The Gods blessed them, saying to them, "Be fruitful, multiply, fill the earth and conquer it. Be masters of the fish of the sea, the birds of heaven and all living animals on the earth."



Now clearly, here we are talking about the original creation of the human species: male and female. All the animals,plants, etc. have all been created in previous verses. This is before the Garden of Eden, and Yahweh is not mentioned as the creator of these people. The next chapter talks about how Yahweh, an individual member of the Pantheon, goes about assembling his own special little botanical and zoological Garden in Eden, and making his own little man to inhabit it:



Gen 2:7 - Yahweh God fashioned a man of dust from the soil. Then he breathed into his nostrils a breath of life, and thus the man became a living being.

8 Yahweh God planted a garden in Eden which is in the east, and there he put the man he had fashioned.

9 Yahweh God caused to spring up from the soil every kind of tree, enticing to look at and good to eat, with the tree of life and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil in the middle of the garden.

15 Yahweh God took the man and settled him in the garden of Eden to cultivate and take care of it.



Now this next is crucial: note Yahweh's precise words:



16 Then Yahweh God gave the man this admonition, "You may eat indeed of all the trees in the garden.

17 Nevertheless of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you are not to eat, for on the day you eat of it you shall most surely die."



Fateful words, those. We will refer back to this admonition later.



Then Yahweh decides to make a woman to go with the man. Now, don't forget that the Pantheon had earlier created a whole population of people, "male and female," who are presumably doing just fine somewhere "outside the gates of Eden." But this setup in Eden is Yahweh's own little experiment, and will unfold to its own separate destiny.



21 So Yahweh God made the man fall into a deep sleep. And while he slept, he took one of his ribs and enclosed it in flesh.

22 Yahweh God built the rib he had taken from the man into a woman, and brought her to the man.



Right. Man gives birth to woman. Sure he does. But that's the way the story is told here.



25 Now both of them were naked, the man and his wife, but they felt no shame in front of each other.



Well, of course not! Why should they? But take careful note of those words, as they also will prove to be significant . . .



Now this next part is where it starts to get interesting. Enter the Serpent:



Gen. 3:1 - The serpent was the most subtle of all the wild beasts that Yahweh God had made. It asked the woman, "Did God really say you were not to eat from any of the trees in the garden?"

2 The woman answered the serpent, "We may eat the fruit of the trees in the garden.

3 "But of the fruit of the tree in the middle of the garden God said, 'You must not eat it, nor touch it, under pain of death'"

4 Then the serpent said to the woman, "No! You will not die!

5 "God knows in fact that on the day you eat it your eyes will be opened and you will be like gods, knowing good and evil."



What a remarkable statement! "Your eyes will be opened and you will be like gods, knowing good and evil." The Serpent directly contradicts Yahweh.



Obviously, one of them has to be lying. Which one, do you suppose? And, if the serpent speaks true, wouldn't you wish to eat of the magic fruit? Wouldn't it be a good thing, to become "like gods, knowing good and evil"? Or is it preferable to remain in ignorance?



6 The woman saw that the tree was good to eat and pleasing to the eye, and that it was desirable for the knowledge that it could give. So she took some of its fruit and ate it. She gave some also to her husband who was with her, and he ate it.

7 Then the eyes of both of them were opened and they realized that they were naked. So they sewed fig leaves together to make themselves loincloths.



The author makes an interesting assumption here: that if you realize you are naked you will automatically want to cover yourself. Further implications will unfold shortly...



8 The man and his wife heard the sound of Yahweh God walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and they hid from Yahweh God among the trees of the garden.

9 But Yahweh God called to the man. "Where are you?" he asked.

10 "I heard the sound of you in the garden," he replied. "I was afraid because I was naked, so I hid."

11 "Who told you that you were naked?" he asked. "Have you been eating of the tree I forbade you to eat?"



And so the sign of the Fall becomes modesty. Take note of this. The descendants of Adam and Eve will be distinguished throughout history from virtually all other peoples by their obsessive modesty taboos, wherein they will feel ashamed of being naked. It follows that those who feel no shame in being naked are, by definition, not carriers of this spiritual disease of original sin!



12 The man replied, "It was the woman you put with me; she gave me the fruit, and I ate it."



Right. Blame the woman. What a turkey!



13 Then Yahweh God asked the woman, "What is this you have done?" The woman replied, "The serpent tempted me and I ate."



So of course she blames the serpent. But just what did the serpent do that was so evil? Why, he called Yahweh a liar! Was he wrong? Let's see...



21 Yahweh God made clothes out of skins for the man and his wife, and they put them on.



Out of skins? This means that Yahweh had to kill some innocent animals to pander to Adam and Eve's new obsession with modesty!



And now we come to the crux of the Fall. Yahweh had said back there in chapter 2:17, regarding the fruit of the tree of knowledge, that "on the day you eat of it you shall most surely die." The Serpent, on the other hand, had contradicted Yahweh in chapter 3:4-5: "No! You will not die! God knows in fact that on the day you eat it your eyes will be opened and you will be like gods, knowing good and evil." So what actually happened? Who lied and who told the truth about this remarkable fruit? The answer is given in the next verse:



22 Then Yahweh God said, "See, the man has become like one of us, with his knowledge of good and evil. He must not be allowed to stretch his hand out next and pick from the tree of life also, and eat some and live forever."



Get that? Yahweh himself admits that he had lied! In fact, and in Yahweh's own words, the Serpent spoke the absolute truth! And moreover, Yahweh tells the rest of the Pantheon that he intends to evict Adam (and presumably Eve as well) to keep them from gaining immortality to go with their newly-acquired divine knowledge. To prevent them, in other words, from truly becoming gods! So who, in this story, comes off as a benefactor of humanity, and who comes off as a tyrant? THE SERPENT NEVER LIED!



This story, to digress slightly, bears a remarkable resemblance to a contemporary tale from ancient Greece. In that version, the Serpent (later identified as Lucifer, the Light-Bearer) may be equated with the heroic titan Prometheus, who championed humanity against the tyranny of Zeus, who wished for people to be mere slaves of the gods. Prometheus, whose name means "forethought," gave people wisdom, intelligence, and fire stolen from Olympus. Moreover, he ordained the portions of animal sacrifice so that humans got the best parts (the meat and hides) while the portion that was burned to the gods was the bones and fat. In punishment for this defiance of his divine authority, Zeus condemned Prometheus to a terrible punishment for an immortal: to be chained to a mountain in the Caucasus, where Zeus' gryphon/eagle (actually a Lammergier) would devour his liver each day. It would grow back each night. Zeus promised to relent if Prometheus would reveal his great secret knowledge: Who would succeed Zeus as supreme god? Prometheus refused to tell, but history has revealed the answer...



The interesting thing about all this is that the Greeks properly regarded Prometheus as a noble hero in his defiance of unjust tyranny. One may wonder why the Serpent is not so well regarded. On the contrary, snakes are loathed throughout Christiandom.



23 So Yahweh God expelled him from the garden of Eden, to till the soil from which he had been taken.

24 He banished the man, and in front of the garden of Eden he posted the cherubs, and the flame of a flashing sword, to guard the way to the tree of life.



So that's it for the Fall. But the story of Adam and Eve doesn't end there.



Gen 4:1 - The man had intercourse with his wife Eve, and she conceived and gave birth to Cain...

2 She gave birth to a second child, Abel, the brother of Cain. Now Abel became a shepherd and kept flocks, while Cain tilled the soil.

3 Time passed and Cain brought some of the produce of the soil as an offering for Yahweh,

4 while Abel for his part brought the first-born of his flock and some of their fat as well. Yahweh looked with favor on Abel and his offering. But he did not look with favor on Cain and his offering, and Cain was very angry and downcast.



Well, why shouldn't he be? Both brothers had brought forth their first fruits as offerings, but Yahveh rejected the vegetables and only accepted the blood sacrifice. This was to set a gruesome precedent:



8 Cain said to his brother Abel, "Let us go out;" and while they were in the open country, Cain set on his brother Abel and killed him.



Accursed and marked for fratricide,

16 Cain left the presence of Yahweh and settled in the land of Nod, east of Eden.



We can assume that the phrase "left the presence of Yahweh" implies that Yahweh is a local deity, and not omnipresent. Now Eden, according to Gen. 2:14-15, was situated at the source of the Tigris and Euphrates rivers, apparently right where Lake Van is now, in Turkey. "East of Eden," therefore, would probably be along the shores of the Caspian Sea, right in the Indo-European heartland. Cain settled in there, among the people of Nod, and married one of the women of that country. Here, for the first time, is specifically mentioned the "other people" who are not of the lineage of Adam and Eve. I.e., the Pagans.



So let's look at this story from another viewpoint: There we were, around six thousand years ago, living in our little farming communities around the Caspian Sea, in the land of Nod, when this dude with a terrible scar comes stumbling in out of the sunset. He tells us this bizarre story, about how his mother and father had been created by some god named Jahweh, and put in charge of a beautiful garden somewhere out west, and how they had gotten thrown out for disobedience after eating some of the landlord's forbidden magic fruit of enlightenment. He tells us of murdering his brother, as the god of his parents would only accept blood sacrifice, and of receiving that scar as a mark so that all would know him as a fratricide. The poor guy is really a mess psychologically, obsessed with guilt. He is also obsessively modest, insisting on wearing clothes even in the hottest summer, and he has a hard time with our penchant for skinny-dipping in the warm inland sea. He seems to believe that he is tainted by the "sin" of his parent's disobedience; that it is in his blood, somehow, and will continue to contaminate his children and his children's children. One of our healing women takes pity on the poor sucker, and marries him...



17 Cain had intercourse with his wife, and she conceived and gave birth to Enoch. He became builder of a town, and he gave the town the name of his son Enoch.



With both of their first sons not turning out very well, Adam and Eve decided to try again:



25 Adam had intercourse with his wife, and she gave birth to a son whom she named Seth...

26 A son was also born to Seth, and he named him Enosh. This man was the first to invoke the name of Yahweh.



Now it doesn't mention here where Seth's wife came from. Another woman from Nod, possibly, or maybe someone from another neolithic community downstream in the Tigris-Euphrates valley. But her folks also, cannot be of the lineage of Adam and Eve, and must also be counted among "the other people."



But whatever happened to Adam? After all, way back there in chapter 2:17, warning Adam about the magic fruit of knowlege, Jahweh had told him that "on the day you eat of it you shall most surely die." So, when did Adam die?



Gen. 5:4 - Adam lived for eight hundred years after the birth of Seth and he became the father of sons and daughters.

5 In all, Adam lived for nine hundred and thirty years; then he died.



Hey, that's pretty good! Nine hundred and some odd years isn't bad for a man who's been told he's gonna die the next day!



Well, the story goes on, and maybe next time the Witlesses come to visit I'll tell more of it. But suffice it to say that those of us who are not of Semitic descent (i.e., not of the lineage of Adam and Eve) cannot share in the Original Sin that comes with that lineage. Being that the Bible is the story of that lineage, of Adam and Eve's descendants and their special relationship with their particular god, Yahweh, it follows that this is not the story of the rest of us. We may may have been Cain's wife's people, or Seth's wife's people, or some other people over the hill and far away, but whichever people the rest of us are, as far as the Bible is concerned, we are the Other People, and so we are continually referred to throughout. Later books of the Bible are filled with admonitions to the followers of Jahweh to "learn not the ways of the Pagans..." (Jer 10:2) with detailed descriptions of exactly what it is we do, such as erect standing stones and sacred poles, worship in sacred groves and practice divination and magic. And worship the sun, moon, stars and the "Queen of Heaven." "You must not behave as they do in Egypt where once you lived; you must not behave as they do in Canaan where I am taking you. You must not follow their laws." (Lev 18:3) For Yahweh, as he so clearly emphasises, is not the god of the Pagans. We have our own lineage and our own heritage, and our tale is not told in the Bible.



We were not "made" like clay figurines by a male deity out of "dust from the soil." We were born of our Mother the Earth, and have evolved over aeons in Her nurturing embrace. All of us, in our many and diverse tribes, have creation myths and legends of our origins and history; some of these tales may even be actually true. Like the descendants of Adam and Eve, many of us also have stories of great floods, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions and other cataclysms that wiped out whole communities of our people, wherein "I alone survived to tell the tale." Nearly all of our ancestral tribes (and especially those of us who today are reclaiming our own Pagan heritage) lack that peculiar obsessive body modesty that seems to be a hallmark of the original sin alluded to in the story of the Fall. We can be naked and unashamed! Why, our Goddess even tells us, "as a sign that you are truly free, you shall be naked in your rites." Not being born into sin, we have no need of salvation, and no need of a Messiah to redeem our sinful souls. Neither heaven nor hell is our destination in the afterlife; we have our own various arrangements with our own various deities. The Bible is not our story; we have our own stories to tell, and they are many and diverse. In a long life, you may get to hear many of them...



May you live long and prosper!

The Doctrine of Balaam



Rev.2:14 But I have a few things against thee, because thou hast there them that hold the doctrine of Balaam, who taught Balac to cast a stumbling block before the children of Israel, to eat things sacrificed unto idols, and to commit fornication.



Are you familiar with the story of Balaam? I' am... But I never thought much about it and certainly never in the context of Satanism... But now, years later i have revisited this historical episode known as the 'Doctrine of Balaam' and the 'incidents at BelPeor' and as a reverse christian I find myself fascinated with this idea and am wondering if any of you have ever experimented with a Doctrine of Balaam strategy?



When hired by King Balak to prophesy against the Israelites.. jewish psychic gun for hire,Balaam has a series of strikingly odd events until he exorts the king........





"If you want to be victorious over them - follow my advice. Select your most beautiful women, women beautiful enough to overcome the modesty of their male companions. Dress them in the finest, most seductive clothing and jewelry that you can afford. Then send them to the Israelite camp with these instructions that when any of the Hebrew men desire their companionship, they allow it."



"And when the men lust after them, to let them do as they please but only after they have been persuaded to abandon their own laws; the laws delivered at Sinai through Moses, and to live by the laws and customs of the gods of the Midianites and Moabites; for by this means their God will be angry at them."


Balaam's advice to King Balak was simply this. To defeat the Israelites; persuade, seduce, trick or otherwise encourage them to violate Jehovah's Law and he will turn his face from them. To cause plagues of corruption and immorality among the congregation of the Lord. Literally or theorectically.

The Look in Death's Eyes



In the cool darkness of thou room

Ye lay in saturated gloom

Empty bottles fill thee vision

As phantoms dance with random precision

Shadows stir and creep about

Thou cries of despair upgrade to shout

The chemicals bubbling in ye blood

Keep thee in a twitchy flood



Thou sight blurred and twisted fades

As inane figures in thou mind raid

And a tall form comes to view

Thou mind's eye fixed on him like glue

He looks at thee with humble care

Though his looks come from thou nightmares

Denying fear of death is a lie

No one wants to look death in the eye

But ye look clearly and ye see

Thou death staring back at thee



He stands before thee cloaked in black

But grimness, sadness he does lack

His eyes are warm, soft and grey

Ye stare at him there as ye lay

His eyes say `child it is your day

Come with thee, take time you may'



As ye lay looking in Death's eyes

Dimmed thou terror and dimmed thou cries

And upon thee came a balmy mist

Death smiled at thee and on thou forehead kissed

And without fear, regret, or sorrow

Ye took his hand and walked into the morrow



As light engulfed thou soul and he

Ye knew that death was meant to be

Thou fate as it is for all

We all fall under shroud and pall

The Exorcist



I see the demon coming from the fires, awaiting the exorcist. Born of fire, the Jinn finds a new host to devour from within. So as the exorcist comes in he hesitates and then begins to say a verse famous to alleviate the curse, the exorcist with his exorcist companion looks upon the tortured boy and says aloud:



"In the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. Amen.



Most glorious Prince of the Heavenly Armies, Saint Michael the Archangel, defend us in "our battle against principalities and powers, against the rulers of this world of darkness, against the spirits of wickedness in the high places" (Eph., 6,12). Come to the assistance of men whom God has created to His likeness and whom He has redeemed at a great price from the tyranny of the devil. Holy Church venerates thee as her guardian and protector; to thee, the Lord has entrusted the souls of the redeemed to be led into heaven. Pray therefore the God of Peace to crush Satan beneath our feet, that he may no longer retain men captive and do injury to the Church. Offer our prayers to the Most High, that without delay they may draw His mercy down upon us; take hold of "the dragon, the old serpent, which is the devil and Satan", bind him and cast him into the bottomless pit ... "that he may no longer seduce the nations" (Apoc. 20, 2-3).



In the Name of Jesus Christ, our God and Lord, strengthened by the intercession of the Immaculate Virgin Mary, Mother of God, of Blessed Michael the Archangel, of the Blessed Apostles Peter and Paul and all the Saints. (and powerful in the holy authority of our ministry), we confidently undertake to repulse the attacks and deceits of the devil.

.

God arises; His enemies are scattered and those who hate Him flee before Him. As smoke is driven away, so are they driven; as wax melts before the fire, so the wicked perish at the presence of God.



V. Behold the Cross of the Lord, flee bands of enemies.

R. The Lion of the tribe of Juda, the offspring of David, hath conquered.

V. May Thy mercy, Lord, descend upon us.

R. As great as our hope in Thee.



(The crosses below indicate a blessing to be given if a priest recites the Exorcism; if a lay person recites it, they indicate the Sign of the Cross to be made silently by that person.)



We drive you from us, whoever you may be, unclean spirits, all satanic powers, all infernal invaders, all wicked legions, assemblies and sects. In the Name and by the power of Our Lord Jesus Christ, + may you be snatched away and driven from the Church of God and from the souls made to the image and likeness of God and redeemed by the Precious Blood of the Divine Lamb. +



Most cunning serpent, you shall no more dare to deceive the human race, persecute the Church, torment God's elect and sift them as wheat. + The Most High God commands you, + He with whom, in your great insolence, you still claim to be equal. "God who wants all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth" (I Tim. 2,4). God the Father commands you. + God the Son commands you. + God the Holy Ghost commands you. + Christ, God's Word made flesh, commands you; + He who to save our race outdone through your envy, "humbled Himself, becoming obedient even unto death" (Phil.2,8); He who has built His Church on the firm rock and declared that the gates of hell shall not prevail against Her, because He will dwell with Her "all days even to the end of the world" (Matt. 28,20). The sacred Sign of the Cross commands you, + as does also the power of the mysteries of the Christian Faith. + The glorious Mother of God, the Virgin Mary, commands you; + she who by her humility and from the first moment of her Immaculate Conception crushed your proud head. The faith of the holy Apostles Peter and Paul, and of the other Apostles commands you. + The blood of the Martyrs and the pious intercession of all the Saints command you. +



Thus, cursed dragon, and you, diabolical legions, we adjure you by the living God, + by the true God, + by the holy God, + by the God "who so loved the world that He gave up His only Son, that every soul believing in Him might not perish but have life everlasting" (St.John 3, 16); stop deceiving human creatures and pouring out to them the poison of eternal damnation; stop harming the Church and hindering her liberty. Begone, Satan, inventor and master of all deceit, enemy of man's salvation. Give place to Christ in Whom you have found none of your works; give place to the One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church acquired by Christ at the price of His Blood. Stoop beneath the all-powerful Hand of God; tremble and flee when we invoke the Holy and terrible Name of Jesus, this Name which causes hell to tremble, this Name to which the Virtues, Powers and Dominations of heaven are humbly submissive, this Name which the Cherubim and Seraphim praise unceasingly repeating: Holy, Holy, Holy is the Lord, the God of Hosts.



V. O Lord, hear my prayer.

R. And let my cry come unto Thee.

V. May the Lord be with thee.

R. And with thy spirit.



God of heaven, God of earth, God of Angels, God of Archangels, God of Patriarchs, God of Prophets, God of Apostles, God of Martyrs, God of Confessors, God of Virgins, God who has power to give life after death and rest after work: because there is no other God than Thee and there can be no other, for Thou art the Creator of all things, visible and invisible, of Whose reign there shall be no end, we humbly prostrate ourselves before Thy glorious Majesty and we beseech Thee to deliver us by Thy power from all the tyranny of the infernal spirits, from their snares, their lies and their furious wickedness. Deign, O Lord, to grant us Thy powerful protection and to keep us safe and sound. We beseech Thee through Jesus Christ Our Lord. Amen.



V. From the snares of the devil,

R. Deliver us, O Lord.

V. That Thy Church may serve Thee in peace and liberty:

R. We beseech Thee to hear us.

V. That Thou may crush down all enemies of Thy Church:

R. We beseech Thee to hear us.



(Holy water is sprinkled in the place where we may be.)

And then the demon leaves and waits for they who welcome HIR.

Benedict of The Adept



O. Learn first --- Oh thou who aspirest unto our ancient Order! --- that Equilibrium is the basis of the Work. If thou thyself hast not a sure foundation, whereon wilt thou stand to direct the forces of Nature?



I. Know then, that as man is born into this world amidst the Darkness of Matter, and the strife of contending forces; so must his first endeavour be to seek the Light through their reconciliation.



II. Thou then, who hast trials and troubles, rejoice because of them, for in them is Strength, and by their means is a pathway opened unto that Light.



III. How should it be otherwise, O man, whose life is but a day in Eternity, a drop in the Ocean of time; how, were thy trials not many, couldst thou purge thy soul from the dross of earth?



Is it but now that the Higher Life is beset with dangers and difficulties; hath it not ever been so with the Sages and Hierophants of the past? They have been persecuted and reviled, they have been tormented of men; yet through this also has their Glory increased.



IV. Rejoice therefore, O Initiate, for the greater thy trial the greater thy Triumph. When men shall revile thee, and speak against thee falsely, hath not the Master said, "Blessed art thou!"?



V. Yet, oh aspirant, let thy victories bring thee not Vanity, for with increase of Knowledge should come increase of Wisdom. He who knoweth little, thinketh he knoweth much; but he who knoweth much hath learned his own ignorance. Seest thou a man wise in his own conceit? There is more hope of a fool, than of him.



VI. Be not hasty to condemn others; how knowest thou that in their place, thou couldest have resisted the temptation? And even were it so, why shouldst thou despise one who is weaker than thyself?



VII. Thou therefore who desirest Magical Gifts, be sure that thy soul is firm and steadfast; for it is by flattering thy weaknesses that the Weak Ones will gain power over thee. Humble thyself before thy Self, yet fear neither man not spirit. Fear is failure, and the forerunner of failure: and courage is the beginning of virtue.



VII. Therefore fear not the Spirits, but be firm and courteous with them; for thou hast no right to despise or revile them; and this too may lead thee astray. Command and banish them, curse them by the Great Names if need be; but neither mock nor revile them, for so assuredly wilt thou be lead into error.



IX. A man is what he maketh himself within the limits fixed by his inherited destiny; he is a part of mankind; his actions affect not only what he calleth himself, but also the whole universe.



X. Worship and neglect not, the physical body which is thy temporary connection with the outer and material world. Therefore let thy mental Equilibrium be above disturbance by material events; strengthen and control the animal passions, discipline the emotions and the reason, nourish the Higher Aspirations.



XI. Do good unto others for its own sake, not for reward, not for gratitude from them, not for sympathy. If thou art generous, thou wilt not long for thine ears to be tickled by expressions of gratitude.



XII. Remember that unbalanced force is evil; that unbalanced severity is but cruelty and oppression; but that also unbalanced mercy is but weakness which would allow and abet Evil. Act passionately; think rationally; be Thyself.



XII. True ritual is as much action as word; it is Will.



XIV. Remember that this earth is but an atom in the universe, and that thou thyself art but an atom thereon, and that even couldst thou become the God of this earth whereon thou crawlest and grovellest, that thou wouldest, even then, be but an atom, and one amongst many.



XV. Nevertheless have the greatest self-respect, and to that end sin not against thyself. The sin which is unpardonable is knowingly and wilfully to reject truth, to fear knowledge lest that knowledge pander not to thy prejudices.



XVI. To obtain Magical Power, learn to control thought; admit only those ideas that are in harmony with the end desired, and not every stray and contradictory Idea that presents itself.



XVII. Fixed thought is a means to an end. Therefore pay attention to the power of silent thought and meditation. The material act is but the outward expression of thy thought, and therefore hath it been said that "the thought of foolishness is sin." Thought is the commencement of action, and if a chance thought can produce much effect, what cannot fixed thought do?



XVIII. Therefore, as hath already been said, Establish thyself firmly in the equilibrium of forces, in the centre of the Cross of the Elements, that Cross from whose centre the Creative Word issued in the birth of the Dawning Universe.



XIX. Be thou therefore prompt and active as the Sylphs, but avoid frivolity and caprice; be energetic and strong like the Salamanders, but avoid irritability and ferocity; be flexible and attentive to images like the Undines, but avoid idleness and changeability; be laborious and patient like the Gnomes, but avoid grossness and avarice.



XX. So shalt thou gradually develop the powers of thy soul, and fit thyself to command the Spirits of the elements. For wert thou to summon the Gnomes to pander to thine avarice, thou wouldst no longer command them, but they would command thee. Wouldst thou abuse the pure beings of the woods and mountains to fill thy coffers and satisfy thy hunger of Gold? Wouldst thou debase the Spirits of Living Fire to serve thy wrath and hatred? Wouldst thou violate the purity of the Souls of the Waters to pander to thy lust of debauchery? Wouldst thou force the Spirits of the Evening Breeze to minister to thy folly and caprice? Know that with such desires thou canst but attract the Weak, not the Strong, and in that case the Weak will have power over thee.



XXI. In the true religion there is no sect, therefore take heed that thou blaspheme not the name by which another knoweth his God; for if thou do this thing in Jupiter thou wilt blaspheme HB:Heh HB:Vau HB:Heh HB:Yod and in Osiris HB:Heh HB:Vau HB:Shin HB:Heh HB:Yod . Ask and ye shall have! Seek, and ye shall find! Knock, and it shall be opened unto you!

Demiurge of the Black Sea



The black body is blacker than night; He who rises from the black sea. Black is the blood He sheds into the Sacramental Graal of the Universal Life. Black is the blood of the Eucharist, wherein dwelleth the heart of the whore. Red is His head, He without eyes, ears, nose or mouth; Red is his left arm. The only white part of His body is his right arm, He who reaches for the wing of an Angel as red becomes all that was left of white. From the sea, He is met by the Queen of Swords whose love is a dagger that seems but a kiss on the lips of the skull that was born of the mist.

Prayer of the Tortured Soul



O Lord of Light shall ye reveal

The hidden truth they hath concealed

Unto the weeping eye of She

I fall before ever humbly

On bended knee, I sought beyond

The truths they offered to sedate

Though God is not and God is gone

In the grasp of CHAOS, faith shan’t wait



The blood of my own tattered veins

Can’t bear the shrieking anymore

Despite the fear, I’ll take the pain

And face the Sacred Mother Whore

Unto the fear—I shall no more!

I wanted nothing but to believe

And now I see thy bleeding soul

Whispering, “Death! Death! Is thy relief!”



I choose to let the Darkness in

I choose to let the Darkness shine

For in the Garden void of sin

Darkness is all that is Divine

I grasp the chalice of thy wine

Awaiting love, to be devoured

Let go the shackles of thy malice

So shall I be released this hour



Thou shall drink the wine of sacrifice

And seek the faces once I feared

By my own hand, thou shall slice

Thy vein into the Graal, so pure

The martyrs hath given thyselves

Unto the lips of She who mourns

Her wanton lips so near to mine

I sip Her tears to be reborn.

The Scent of Her Rose



The canticles of brighter days

Shall seal the secrets from thine lips

The seven seals that now decay

Await the Angel’s fiery kiss

The tomb was sealed, the risen

One has fled with her to Grace

“Depart O Children of thy Kingdom!”

Mercy, infinite as stars in space

The jewel that she wore that night

Around her neck was blessed and kissed

The soft lips and breath ignite

The rapture of her Divine Bliss

O Mary’s little lamb kept well

The memories of forgotten days

Forgotten, yes—by a silent Hell

That withered all thy Will away

And as the tortured caress of She

Whose lips devoured the demon there

Within he that shall ever be

The blood and scent of her despair

Arise! O Angel!—wake thy man!

So forlorn and never sated

Cast thy stone upon thy brow

To wake the somatic, sedated

Child who shall rise to be

The psalm of Light that dwells within

Cast him into the Dragon Sea

And See if He can sink or swim



As Kali stands amidst the flames

And dances upon the desert pyre

IT watches her, IT without name

And offers Her thy Divine Fire

O Mother Mary, thy grace I ask

I humbly come to thee and say

To uncover Hir is thy task

The Holy Guardian, I pray

Cast the demon stone to shore

And place it in the blazing eye

Into the pit, I meet thy stare

Black as stones in which to skry

But all I see is my reflection

Within Her fatal gaze

And now I’m numb with Her infection

Unlike the psalms of brighter days

So unto Hecate I return

(and kneel before the virgin’s feet)

The womb unleashes that which burns

The soul but maketh cold the meat

Within the Garden of thy Flesh

So how Her blossom grows

The beads of Her Black Rosary

Bear the Scent of Her Rose.



Into the fall, the embrace of BAST

Who Nephyths failed to intervene

There lies a portal to the past

Where one can hear the deafening screams

Of She who held the Fallen One

Within her arms with love

Like Death’s head upon St. John’s bed

They’ve brought the dead above

But one cannot describe the tears

That fell upon the crimson soils

Angels turned their deafened ears

Unto the wailing of Divine spoils

The wars had claimed few too few

Hence the Darkness glows

The spatter of the All in You

Upon Her Scented Rose.

The winter winds have come again

As the wind so fiercely blows

As frost has formed itself around

Her scented blood stained Rose.

To offer up thy sacrifice

In which no mortal knows

Is to cast the demon seed with glee

Upon Her Scented Rose.

And even as the stars align

And storms have come too close

The eyes of meek seek the Divine

Secrets of Her Scented Rose.

Children Of The Dying Sun



IF you are FREE, come to me. I am a DELUSION; I am YOUR DELUSION. Within me is a Beast that is forever awake-even when I sleep. Closed eyes don't always sleep. Sometimes I awake from a dream, and I know that YOU are my dream. Reality is unaffected. The more you know me, the less you'll understand me. Watch me from afar, and the SACRED BLASPHEMIES shall awaken the SACRAMENT already within you: THE BLACK BLOOD OF THE EUCHARIST. Come, YOU are the HOLY ILLUMINATED STARS OF THE DARKNESS OF GOD. I pray to my HOLY GUARDIAN ANGEL to reveal to me my DIVINE PURPOSE; my LIGHT is a BLACK FLAME that enlightens and infects, makes me CREATOR and DESTROYER, and gives radiance to all that is both SACRED and INFERNAL within me.



I am a confession untold. I am a PRAYER with no answer. I am also the answer to the PRAYER that was never UTTERED. The ALPHA KING has come to claim HIS crown. It was rightfully the crown of the GODDESS, therefore the KING was SLAIN and the crown rightfully given to SHE who it came to. It was I who held the SWORD that swept away HIS LIFE. I am the VENGEANCE of SHE who is WITHIN me and WITHOUT me. Damn FEAR and let HEAVEN within the BLOOD that is already within your veins. My affection is BEAUTIFUL DAMNATION, and my love is TRAGIC SALVATION. IF you are FREE, come to me. In this WAR, thy Angel is with thee.



By the Serpent Cross, the Seven-Rayed Star, and the Cross Lorraine,



I am,



Shaitan-Nous
