<strong>TOTBL</strong><br />

<strong>Temple</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Black</strong> <strong>Light</strong> (<strong>TOTBL</strong>) <strong>is</strong> <strong>an</strong> international temple dedicated to <strong>the</strong> Current 218 <strong>an</strong>d its<br />

Anti-Cosmic Tradition <strong>of</strong> Luciferi<strong>an</strong><strong>is</strong>m/Sat<strong>an</strong><strong>is</strong>m. The <strong>Temple</strong> <strong>is</strong> a m<strong>an</strong>ifestation <strong>of</strong>, <strong>an</strong>d expression<br />

for, <strong>the</strong> adversarial, acosmic forces <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Nightside, <strong>an</strong>d represents a new, wrathful form <strong>of</strong> Gnostic<br />

Left H<strong>an</strong>d Path.<br />

The tradition represented by <strong>the</strong> <strong>TOTBL</strong> c<strong>an</strong> best be described as <strong>the</strong> essence <strong>of</strong> Anti-Cosmic<br />

Gnostic<strong>is</strong>m expressed through <strong>the</strong> sin<strong>is</strong>ter forms <strong>of</strong> traditional Diabol<strong>is</strong>m. Within our tradition, <strong>the</strong><br />

Dark Ones (Gods <strong>an</strong>d Goddesses <strong>of</strong> Sitra Ahra) represent <strong>the</strong> <strong>an</strong>ti-archonic impulse <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Deus<br />

Absconditus <strong>an</strong>d <strong>the</strong> m<strong>an</strong>ifested aspect <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> second <strong>an</strong>d left em<strong>an</strong>ation from <strong>the</strong> Ain S<strong>of</strong>. Thus, for<br />

us, Sat<strong>an</strong>-Lucifer <strong>is</strong> <strong>the</strong> first <strong>an</strong>d highest m<strong>an</strong>ifestation <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Black</strong> <strong>Light</strong>, <strong>an</strong>d <strong>the</strong> opposer <strong>an</strong>d<br />

destroyer <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> cosmic pr<strong>is</strong>on/causal structures establ<strong>is</strong>hed by <strong>the</strong> tyr<strong>an</strong>t demiurge.<br />

Within <strong>the</strong> <strong>TOTBL</strong> m<strong>an</strong>y forms <strong>of</strong> magical systems are studied <strong>an</strong>d practiced, parallel to each o<strong>the</strong>r,<br />

as it <strong>is</strong> our conviction that <strong>the</strong> keys that will unlock <strong>the</strong> pr<strong>is</strong>on gates <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> cosmic archons are<br />

spread throughout m<strong>an</strong>y different esoteric traditions. Our main goal <strong>is</strong> <strong>the</strong>refore to red<strong>is</strong>cover,<br />

rem<strong>an</strong>ifest, adapt <strong>an</strong>d create <strong>the</strong> <strong>an</strong>tinomi<strong>an</strong> forms <strong>of</strong> spiritual practice that will lead <strong>the</strong> adept to<br />

Gnos<strong>is</strong>, hastening <strong>the</strong> revolution back towards <strong>the</strong> Unbound Fullness that was before <strong>the</strong> ordering <strong>of</strong><br />

Chaos <strong>an</strong>d <strong>the</strong> fall into causality.<br />

The high magical <strong>an</strong>d spiritual practice within <strong>the</strong> <strong>TOTBL</strong> <strong>is</strong> thus shaped in a way that will lead <strong>the</strong><br />

initiate to a concrete <strong>an</strong>d direct encounter with <strong>the</strong> Divine within <strong>an</strong>d without. The forms most <strong>of</strong>ten<br />

used <strong>an</strong>d focused upon within our ritual work are those belonging to Kliffotic (Qliphothic)<br />

ceremonial magic <strong>an</strong>d grimoire based demonology. But our tradition also contains elements <strong>of</strong><br />

m<strong>an</strong>y o<strong>the</strong>r systems <strong>of</strong> magical expression, such as those connected to <strong>the</strong> Babyloni<strong>an</strong> Cult <strong>of</strong><br />

Tiamat, Draconi<strong>an</strong> forms <strong>of</strong> Typhonic Seti<strong>an</strong><strong>is</strong>m, Nephilimic forms <strong>of</strong> Traditional Witchcraft,<br />

Necrosophic systems <strong>of</strong> sorcery, certain extreme forms <strong>of</strong> Left H<strong>an</strong>d Path T<strong>an</strong>tr<strong>is</strong>m, <strong>an</strong>d m<strong>an</strong>y o<strong>the</strong>r<br />

magical traditions that c<strong>an</strong> help <strong>the</strong> initiate break free from <strong>the</strong> chains <strong>of</strong> imposed order <strong>an</strong>d cosmic<br />

restriction.<br />

The m<strong>is</strong>sion <strong>of</strong> all public m<strong>an</strong>ifestations <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>TOTBL</strong>, be it on <strong>the</strong> World Wide Web or through<br />

different forms <strong>of</strong> publications, <strong>is</strong> to make known <strong>an</strong>d promote <strong>the</strong> Chaosophic/Chaos-Gnostic<br />

religious system, with <strong>the</strong> aim <strong>of</strong> reaching out to those very few that have <strong>the</strong> eye to see <strong>the</strong> essence<br />

behind <strong>the</strong> forms presented <strong>an</strong>d <strong>the</strong> ears to hear <strong>the</strong> voiceless calling <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> true Divine Force, from<br />

both within <strong>an</strong>d without. But, because <strong>the</strong> <strong>Temple</strong> <strong>is</strong> <strong>an</strong> esoteric <strong>an</strong>d initiatic institution, closed to<br />

outsiders, we only welcome contact with those who fully underst<strong>an</strong>d <strong>an</strong>d embrace The Path <strong>of</strong><br />

<strong>Black</strong> <strong>Light</strong>.<br />

Since <strong>the</strong> <strong>TOTBL</strong> has reached its predetermined number <strong>of</strong> fully initiated bro<strong>the</strong>rs <strong>an</strong>d s<strong>is</strong>ters,<br />

membership <strong>is</strong> closed, but it <strong>is</strong> still our duty to reach out <strong>an</strong>d <strong>of</strong>fer guid<strong>an</strong>ce to <strong>the</strong> very few that<br />

bear within <strong>the</strong>m <strong>the</strong> <strong>Black</strong> Flames <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> acosmic Spirit.<br />

So while we do not <strong>of</strong>fer initiation into <strong>the</strong> Inner S<strong>an</strong>ctum at th<strong>is</strong> time, we still <strong>of</strong>fer relev<strong>an</strong>t parts<br />

<strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Chaosophic teachings that we believe c<strong>an</strong> lead <strong>the</strong> elect <strong>of</strong> our Gods to <strong>the</strong> illumination <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />

<strong>Black</strong> <strong>Light</strong>. The texts presented on th<strong>is</strong> website have as <strong>the</strong>ir purpose to test <strong>the</strong> readers, confuse<br />

<strong>the</strong> feeble-minded majority, <strong>an</strong>d guide <strong>the</strong> very few <strong>of</strong> spiritual worth to o<strong>the</strong>r, more hidden, points<br />

<strong>of</strong> ingress into <strong>the</strong> very heart <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Current 218.<br />

A secondary motive for <strong>the</strong> outside m<strong>an</strong>ifestation <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Anti-Cosmic Tradition <strong>is</strong> to counteract <strong>the</strong><br />

essenceless <strong>an</strong>d material<strong>is</strong>tic filth that <strong>is</strong> spread in <strong>the</strong> name <strong>of</strong> Sat<strong>an</strong> <strong>an</strong>d Sat<strong>an</strong><strong>is</strong>m. By presenting a<br />

spiritual <strong>an</strong>d yet harshly <strong>an</strong>tinomi<strong>an</strong> form <strong>of</strong> Gnostic Luciferi<strong>an</strong><strong>is</strong>m, we hope to contribute to <strong>the</strong><br />

establ<strong>is</strong>hment <strong>of</strong> v<strong>is</strong>ible alternatives to <strong>the</strong> vulgar<strong>is</strong>m preached by a<strong>the</strong><strong>is</strong>tic con men.<br />

* Chaosophy<br />

The following texts <strong>of</strong>fer a glimpse into <strong>the</strong> chaosophical ideologies <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Gnostic<br />

Luciferi<strong>an</strong><strong>is</strong>m/Sat<strong>an</strong><strong>is</strong>m <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Temple</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Black</strong> <strong>Light</strong>. The texts presented touch upon subject<br />

matter that c<strong>an</strong> give <strong>the</strong> d<strong>is</strong>cerning reader insight into some <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> fundamental aspects <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>an</strong>ti-<br />

cosmic system <strong>of</strong> thought. These texts are based on doctrine that <strong>is</strong> relev<strong>an</strong>t to <strong>the</strong> different lines <strong>of</strong><br />

practice within <strong>the</strong> 218 Current, <strong>an</strong>d some are based on private correspondences concerning such<br />

teachings <strong>an</strong>d practices.<br />

While <strong>the</strong> inner essence <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> chaosophical system <strong>of</strong> thought <strong>is</strong> beyond <strong>the</strong> limiting media <strong>of</strong><br />

words, it <strong>is</strong> our hope that <strong>the</strong>se texts will aid in guiding <strong>the</strong> few <strong>of</strong> spiritual worth to <strong>the</strong> concealed<br />

core <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> inner s<strong>an</strong>ctum, where <strong>the</strong>y may, <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>ir own accord, drink from <strong>the</strong> fountain <strong>of</strong><br />

knowledge <strong>an</strong>d partake <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Black</strong> <strong>Light</strong> <strong>of</strong> Chao-Gnos<strong>is</strong>.<br />

Chaosophy<br />

Chaos <strong>is</strong> <strong>the</strong> p<strong>an</strong>dimensional pl<strong>an</strong>e <strong>an</strong>d/or power with infinite amounts <strong>of</strong> time <strong>an</strong>d space<br />

dimensions, in contrast to cosmos which only has three spatial dimensions <strong>an</strong>d one linear time<br />

dimension. In compar<strong>is</strong>on with <strong>the</strong> linear time <strong>of</strong> cosmos, Chaos c<strong>an</strong> be described as timeless in <strong>the</strong><br />

way that it <strong>is</strong> not contained nor limited by one-dimensional time, <strong>an</strong>d formless because <strong>of</strong> its ever<br />

ch<strong>an</strong>ging <strong>an</strong>d infinite amount <strong>of</strong> space dimensions.<br />

Cosmos <strong>is</strong> causal, which me<strong>an</strong>s that it <strong>is</strong> bound by <strong>the</strong> law <strong>of</strong> cause <strong>an</strong>d effect (Karma), while Chaos<br />

<strong>is</strong> totally Acausal (Akarma) <strong>an</strong>d free from all <strong>the</strong> limitations <strong>of</strong> causal law.<br />

5


Chaos <strong>is</strong> <strong>the</strong> eternal <strong>an</strong>d lawless becoming <strong>an</strong>d <strong>is</strong> <strong>the</strong>refore <strong>an</strong> active <strong>an</strong>d dynamic form <strong>of</strong> eternity.<br />

Chaos was, Chaos <strong>is</strong> <strong>an</strong>d Chaos becomes All <strong>an</strong>d Nothing at one <strong>an</strong>d <strong>the</strong> same time.<br />

Chaos <strong>is</strong> <strong>the</strong>refore <strong>the</strong> only true Freedom <strong>an</strong>d <strong>the</strong> Ur-essence beyond all <strong>the</strong> confining structures <strong>of</strong><br />

<strong>the</strong> cosmic ex<strong>is</strong>tence.<br />

All possibilities ex<strong>is</strong>t within <strong>the</strong> boundless Chaos <strong>an</strong>d among <strong>the</strong>m also <strong>is</strong> <strong>the</strong> possibility for <strong>the</strong><br />

birth <strong>of</strong> cosmic ex<strong>is</strong>tence. But <strong>the</strong> Chaos that surrounds cosmos <strong>is</strong> Anti-cosmic, because its<br />

p<strong>an</strong>dimensional <strong>an</strong>d formless power acts as <strong>the</strong> <strong>an</strong>ti<strong>the</strong>s<strong>is</strong> to <strong>the</strong> formed, limiting <strong>an</strong>d causal<br />

structures <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> finite order <strong>of</strong> cosmos. The Chaos that pervades <strong>the</strong> barriers <strong>of</strong> cosmic space-time<br />

<strong>is</strong> <strong>the</strong>refore experienced, from <strong>the</strong> cosmic perspective, as destructive, d<strong>is</strong>solving <strong>an</strong>d consuming.<br />

Th<strong>is</strong> <strong>is</strong> because it d<strong>is</strong>solves <strong>the</strong> limiting structures <strong>an</strong>d forms <strong>an</strong>d, instead, reinstates <strong>the</strong> formless<br />

<strong>an</strong>d unbound state <strong>of</strong> Acausality which <strong>is</strong> <strong>the</strong> origin <strong>an</strong>d end <strong>of</strong> all.<br />

Chaos <strong>is</strong> that which more or less interpenetrates all that ex<strong>is</strong>ts, from <strong>the</strong> smallest to <strong>the</strong> greatest. But<br />

within <strong>the</strong> few places where its powers are focused in <strong>the</strong> causal world, <strong>the</strong> gates to <strong>the</strong> Acausal are<br />

opened <strong>an</strong>d it <strong>is</strong> through <strong>the</strong>se Nexions that <strong>the</strong> em<strong>an</strong>ations <strong>of</strong> Chaos c<strong>an</strong> flow into cosmos.<br />

Chaos interpenetrates all worlds, <strong>an</strong>d ex<strong>is</strong>ts even within <strong>an</strong>d beyond <strong>the</strong> absolute incomprehensible<br />

emptiness. Chaos <strong>is</strong> p<strong>an</strong>dimensional <strong>an</strong>d at <strong>the</strong> same time zero-dimensional. Chaos <strong>is</strong> timely <strong>an</strong>d<br />

timeless. It moves within <strong>the</strong> space continuum, but <strong>is</strong> spaceless. It <strong>is</strong> <strong>the</strong> origin <strong>of</strong> all, out <strong>of</strong> which<br />

everything has been created, <strong>an</strong>d at <strong>the</strong> same time that it <strong>is</strong> All, it <strong>is</strong> also Nothing.<br />

Chaos <strong>is</strong> its own cause <strong>an</strong>d effect that in its unbound becoming, both creates <strong>an</strong>d destroys. Chaos <strong>is</strong><br />

<strong>the</strong> zeroth dimension, which <strong>is</strong> <strong>the</strong> space-timeless Ur-Essence <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Unknown God/dess <strong>an</strong>d it <strong>is</strong><br />

zeroth force that within itself bears <strong>the</strong> seed to all dimensions m<strong>an</strong>ifested <strong>an</strong>d unm<strong>an</strong>ifested.<br />

Chaos <strong>is</strong> unbound progression <strong>an</strong>d lawless becoming, which cosmos with its stagnating forms<br />

limits. The lawlessness <strong>of</strong> Chaos tr<strong>an</strong>scends <strong>the</strong> causal laws <strong>of</strong> cosmos <strong>an</strong>d its ordered structures<br />

<strong>an</strong>d <strong>is</strong> <strong>the</strong>refore, from <strong>the</strong> Chaos-Gnostic perspective, <strong>the</strong> ultimate freedom beyond <strong>the</strong> fetters <strong>of</strong><br />

cosmic bondage.<br />

Evolution <strong>is</strong> <strong>the</strong> way Chaos hastens <strong>the</strong> return <strong>of</strong> all to its own Acausal flames, while stagnation <strong>is</strong><br />

<strong>the</strong> cosmic way <strong>of</strong> holding onto <strong>the</strong> constraining forms, laws <strong>an</strong>d structures <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> causal. The <strong>Black</strong><br />

Flame/<strong>the</strong> Acausal Fire, which <strong>is</strong> <strong>the</strong> spiritual essence behind, within <strong>an</strong>d beyond <strong>the</strong> causal forms<br />

<strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Fireborn m<strong>an</strong> <strong>an</strong>d wom<strong>an</strong> <strong>is</strong> our link to <strong>the</strong> ur-essence that <strong>is</strong> Chaos.<br />

Our 'I' (<strong>the</strong> ego) <strong>is</strong> shaped <strong>an</strong>d formed by <strong>the</strong> limitations <strong>of</strong> cosmic ex<strong>is</strong>tence, while our Self, which<br />

<strong>is</strong> <strong>the</strong> wholeness <strong>of</strong> our inner Acausal core beyond <strong>the</strong> hylic forms <strong>of</strong> our ego, <strong>is</strong> <strong>the</strong> same as <strong>the</strong><br />

6


latent inner force <strong>of</strong> Chaos, that we call <strong>the</strong> <strong>Black</strong> Flame.<br />

The 'I' <strong>is</strong> <strong>the</strong> focal point <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Self that has bound <strong>an</strong>d fixated it to <strong>the</strong> cosmos, which it has been<br />

tricked to gl<strong>an</strong>ce at. The ego/'I' <strong>is</strong> <strong>the</strong>refore <strong>the</strong> 'conscious' or 'dayside' mind <strong>an</strong>d <strong>the</strong> 'I'/eye which <strong>is</strong><br />

blinded by <strong>the</strong> 'light' <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> cosmos. The Self, on <strong>the</strong> o<strong>the</strong>r h<strong>an</strong>d, <strong>is</strong> <strong>the</strong> Spirit <strong>an</strong>d <strong>the</strong> Flame <strong>of</strong><br />

Chaos beyond <strong>the</strong> gates <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> 'unconscious' mind. The Self <strong>is</strong> <strong>the</strong>refore <strong>the</strong> dark (as in 'outside <strong>the</strong><br />

light <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> false god') <strong>an</strong>d hidden essence that links us to <strong>the</strong> primeval Chaos <strong>an</strong>d <strong>the</strong> Acausal.<br />

By looking within <strong>the</strong> abyss <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Self we c<strong>an</strong> find <strong>the</strong> keys to Chaos. And through <strong>the</strong> hidden gates<br />

within <strong>the</strong> 'unconscious' mind that open to <strong>the</strong> Acausal Self (Azoth), we c<strong>an</strong> increase our Self<br />

Consciousness within our lives <strong>an</strong>d direct <strong>the</strong> focal point that <strong>is</strong> <strong>the</strong> 'I'/ego towards <strong>the</strong> inner <strong>Black</strong><br />

Flame <strong>an</strong>d fully open <strong>the</strong> Nexion between <strong>the</strong> blinded 'I' <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> ego <strong>an</strong>d <strong>the</strong> All-Seeing Eye <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />

Self. Th<strong>is</strong> would lead to <strong>the</strong> increase <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Acausal currents (Atazoth) <strong>an</strong>d in <strong>the</strong> end result in <strong>the</strong><br />

'Opening <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Eyes <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Dragon' <strong>an</strong>d <strong>the</strong> liberation <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> P<strong>an</strong>dimensional Self.<br />

The Spirit point <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> pentagram represents <strong>the</strong> Acausal Self that has been repressed <strong>an</strong>d restrained<br />

by <strong>the</strong> four formed elements which symbolize <strong>the</strong> fourfold covering <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> ego. By returning <strong>the</strong><br />

four elements <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> physical, astral, mental <strong>an</strong>d spiritual/causal to <strong>the</strong> all-devouring Acausal fires <strong>of</strong><br />

<strong>the</strong> Spirit/Self, <strong>the</strong> ego c<strong>an</strong> become reabsorbed by <strong>an</strong>d revert to <strong>the</strong> wholeness <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Self <strong>an</strong>d<br />

become liberated <strong>an</strong>d one with <strong>the</strong> Chaos Unbound. Th<strong>is</strong> return to <strong>the</strong> Acausal origin c<strong>an</strong> only be<br />

initiated through pure Self Knowledge (Gnos<strong>is</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Inner Divine Flame) that must be reached<br />

through direct experience with both <strong>the</strong> inner p<strong>an</strong>dimensional force (<strong>Black</strong> Flame) <strong>an</strong>d <strong>the</strong> outer<br />

Acausal power (Dark Gods).<br />

Within <strong>the</strong> numerological context 0 <strong>is</strong> <strong>the</strong> symbol <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> womb <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> zeroth dimensional Chaos,<br />

while 1 st<strong>an</strong>ds for <strong>the</strong> contracting (coagula) <strong>an</strong>d forming/ordering impulse <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> cosmic<br />

creation/creator. All numbers from 1-10 st<strong>an</strong>d for <strong>the</strong> different stages <strong>of</strong> causal creation <strong>an</strong>d<br />

em<strong>an</strong>ation, which culminate in <strong>the</strong> number 10 that st<strong>an</strong>ds for cosmic completion. 10 also st<strong>an</strong>ds for<br />

law, order, m<strong>an</strong>ifestation <strong>of</strong> form, restriction, <strong>the</strong> closed circle that within itself has captured <strong>the</strong><br />

fallen Flames <strong>of</strong> Chaos, <strong>the</strong> ego/'I' <strong>an</strong>d <strong>the</strong> repression <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Acausal Self.<br />

Eleven, which <strong>is</strong> <strong>the</strong> number <strong>of</strong> Anti-Cosmic Chaos, symbolizes <strong>the</strong>refore that which steps over <strong>an</strong>d<br />

goes beyond <strong>the</strong> cosmic 10. Eleven st<strong>an</strong>ds for lawlessness, freedom, formlessness <strong>an</strong>d <strong>the</strong> breaking<br />

<strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> closed circle. Eleven <strong>is</strong> <strong>the</strong> gate to <strong>the</strong> primeval Chaos <strong>an</strong>d <strong>the</strong> road through which <strong>the</strong><br />

essence c<strong>an</strong> tr<strong>an</strong>scend <strong>the</strong> restrictions <strong>of</strong> forms. Therefore, eleven also symbolizes <strong>the</strong> completion <strong>of</strong><br />

Anti-Cosmic Evolution <strong>an</strong>d <strong>the</strong> realization <strong>of</strong> hidden, dark <strong>an</strong>d Acausal potential.<br />

The Eleven Angled Sigil (<strong>the</strong> sigil <strong>of</strong> Azerate <strong>an</strong>d <strong>the</strong> <strong>Temple</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Black</strong> <strong>Light</strong>) <strong>is</strong> <strong>the</strong>refore a<br />

Acausal freedom beyond <strong>the</strong> limitations <strong>of</strong> cosmic law <strong>an</strong>d ex<strong>is</strong>tence.<br />

The Dragon <strong>is</strong> also <strong>an</strong> <strong>an</strong>cient symbol <strong>of</strong> Chaos. The pre-cosmic Chaos <strong>is</strong> within <strong>the</strong> oldest streams<br />

<strong>of</strong> Chaos-Gnos<strong>is</strong> represented by <strong>the</strong> Dragon Mo<strong>the</strong>r Tiamat, while <strong>the</strong> Wrathful <strong>an</strong>d post-cosmic<br />

Chaos <strong>is</strong> represented by <strong>the</strong> <strong>Black</strong> Dragon (The <strong>Black</strong> <strong>Light</strong>) Hubur, which <strong>is</strong> Chaos (Tiamat)<br />

Enraged. It <strong>is</strong> th<strong>is</strong> Wrathful Chaos (<strong>Black</strong> <strong>Light</strong>) that gave birth to <strong>the</strong> two (2) <strong>an</strong>d <strong>the</strong> eleven (11), in<br />

order to destroy <strong>the</strong> One (1) that em<strong>an</strong>ated out <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> womb (0) <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Primal Chaos.<br />

Through <strong>the</strong> recognition <strong>an</strong>d awakening <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Black</strong> Dragon <strong>of</strong> Acausal Fire (Azoth/Spirit) <strong>the</strong><br />

<strong>TOTBL</strong> – 218<br />

Lucifer <strong>is</strong> Sat<strong>an</strong><br />

Within m<strong>an</strong>y 'sat<strong>an</strong>ic traditions' it <strong>is</strong> stated that Lucifer <strong>an</strong>d Sat<strong>an</strong> are two separate powers st<strong>an</strong>ding<br />

for wholly different principals, elements <strong>an</strong>d concepts. According to m<strong>an</strong>y <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>se traditions <strong>the</strong><br />

cardinal point associated with Sat<strong>an</strong> <strong>is</strong> South (<strong>the</strong> element <strong>of</strong> fire), while Lucifer <strong>is</strong> assigned to <strong>the</strong><br />

eastern point <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> compass (<strong>the</strong> element <strong>of</strong> air).<br />

In th<strong>is</strong> short text we have as our aim to state our gnos<strong>is</strong> about th<strong>is</strong> subject <strong>an</strong>d explain why,<br />

according to our own tradition <strong>an</strong>d current (218), <strong>the</strong> abovementioned ideas about Lucifer <strong>an</strong>d Sat<strong>an</strong><br />

8


eing two separate powers are wrong!<br />

Within our <strong>Temple</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Black</strong> <strong>Light</strong> both Lucifer <strong>an</strong>d Sat<strong>an</strong> are used as forms, descriptions <strong>an</strong>d<br />

representations <strong>of</strong> one <strong>an</strong>d <strong>the</strong> same essence. Our underst<strong>an</strong>ding <strong>is</strong> that <strong>the</strong>re <strong>is</strong> a difference between<br />

rendering <strong>the</strong> words 'Lucifer' <strong>an</strong>d 'Sat<strong>an</strong>' as just forms <strong>an</strong>d descriptions, <strong>an</strong>d believing that <strong>the</strong>y are<br />

<strong>the</strong> 'true names' <strong>of</strong> that which <strong>the</strong>y represent. Th<strong>is</strong> <strong>is</strong> because our tradition states that <strong>the</strong> <strong>an</strong>cient<br />

dark gods are all nameless <strong>an</strong>d beyond causal comprehension, <strong>an</strong>d that all forms given to <strong>the</strong>m by<br />

hum<strong>an</strong>s are just that, forms, <strong>an</strong>d not something that should be viewed as static in essence <strong>an</strong>d<br />

me<strong>an</strong>ing.<br />

In order to focus our consciousness to, <strong>an</strong>d link our unconscious minds with, <strong>the</strong> essence <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>se<br />

dark gods <strong>an</strong>d establ<strong>is</strong>h contact with <strong>the</strong>m, we need to penetrate <strong>the</strong> hidden heart <strong>of</strong> darkness <strong>an</strong>d<br />

explore <strong>the</strong> concrete effect that <strong>the</strong>se forces <strong>of</strong> <strong>Black</strong> <strong>Light</strong> have on our selves <strong>an</strong>d <strong>the</strong> world at<br />

large. After we have identified, experienced,* <strong>an</strong>d on a deeper level intuitively understood <strong>the</strong><br />

relev<strong>an</strong>t effects that <strong>the</strong>se acosmic powers have on <strong>the</strong> spiritual, mental, astral <strong>an</strong>d physical pl<strong>an</strong>es<br />

<strong>of</strong> ex<strong>is</strong>tence we c<strong>an</strong> try to use words <strong>an</strong>d symbols in order to better <strong>an</strong>d more easily grasp <strong>the</strong>ir<br />

tr<strong>an</strong>scendent core. It <strong>is</strong> only at th<strong>is</strong> stage that <strong>the</strong> Nameless Ones c<strong>an</strong> be given names. For to name a<br />

spiritual force within <strong>an</strong> esoteric context <strong>is</strong> <strong>the</strong> same thing as trying to, with one (or m<strong>an</strong>y) words,<br />

describe <strong>an</strong>d emphasize its most signific<strong>an</strong>t qualities, its inner essence <strong>an</strong>d <strong>the</strong> sum <strong>of</strong> its power, as<br />

it <strong>is</strong> understood by <strong>the</strong> limited mind.<br />

The greater <strong>the</strong> power or principal we try to grasp with <strong>the</strong> causal mind, <strong>the</strong> more words, names <strong>an</strong>d<br />

symbols will be needed to describe it. In <strong>the</strong> same way that <strong>the</strong> different names/words <strong>of</strong> power act<br />

as links between our conscious mind <strong>an</strong>d <strong>the</strong> powers <strong>the</strong>y are me<strong>an</strong>t to describe, <strong>the</strong> more abstract<br />

symbols (sonic <strong>an</strong>d linear sigils) are used as tools/keys to open <strong>the</strong> gates <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> unconscious mind to<br />

<strong>the</strong> more hidden <strong>an</strong>d formless essence <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>se nightside em<strong>an</strong>ations.<br />

Lucifer <strong>an</strong>d Sat<strong>an</strong> are two words that for us describe different aspects <strong>of</strong> one <strong>an</strong>d <strong>the</strong> same spiritual<br />

force. The word Lucifer me<strong>an</strong>s 'Bearer <strong>of</strong> <strong>Light</strong>' <strong>an</strong>d describes <strong>the</strong> function <strong>an</strong>d effect <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> acosmic<br />

power that brings <strong>the</strong> gifts <strong>of</strong> forbidden w<strong>is</strong>dom, enlightenment, intellect, imagination <strong>an</strong>d gnos<strong>is</strong>.<br />

Lucifer <strong>is</strong> within <strong>the</strong> esoteric context <strong>the</strong> secret, inv<strong>is</strong>ible <strong>an</strong>d black fire (The First Sun/Son <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />

<strong>Black</strong> <strong>Light</strong>) that burns to ashes <strong>an</strong>d d<strong>is</strong>solves all illusions, <strong>an</strong>d awakens <strong>an</strong>d streng<strong>the</strong>ns <strong>the</strong> inner<br />

<strong>Black</strong> Flame <strong>an</strong>d opens <strong>the</strong> all-seeing eye <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Self.<br />

Lucifer <strong>is</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>an</strong>ti<strong>the</strong>s<strong>is</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> demiurgic/archonic lie <strong>an</strong>d <strong>is</strong> <strong>the</strong> power that according to <strong>the</strong> mythos<br />

gr<strong>an</strong>ted m<strong>an</strong> <strong>an</strong>d wom<strong>an</strong> <strong>the</strong> fruit <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Tree <strong>of</strong> Daath (<strong>the</strong> tree <strong>of</strong> knowledge) <strong>an</strong>d gave <strong>the</strong>m <strong>the</strong><br />

towards Self Divinity <strong>an</strong>d freedom. Lucifer <strong>is</strong> within th<strong>is</strong> context <strong>an</strong> <strong>an</strong>ti-cosmic Prome<strong>the</strong>us that<br />

brings <strong>the</strong> Forbidden Fire <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> gods (<strong>Black</strong> <strong>Light</strong>) to those who through <strong>the</strong>ir own pneumatic<br />

nature c<strong>an</strong> comprehend it <strong>an</strong>d for <strong>the</strong>m illuminates <strong>the</strong> hidden path to acausality <strong>an</strong>d <strong>the</strong> eternal<br />

power beyond <strong>the</strong> shackles <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> finite <strong>an</strong>d clay-born ego.<br />

Lucifer <strong>is</strong> <strong>the</strong> 'Firebringer' who with <strong>the</strong> acosmic light <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Deus Absconditus arouses <strong>the</strong> flames<br />

<strong>of</strong> spirit <strong>an</strong>d awakens <strong>the</strong> elect from <strong>the</strong> illusory slumber <strong>of</strong> life, death <strong>an</strong>d rebirth <strong>an</strong>d thus acts as<br />

<strong>the</strong> adversary <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> suppressing natural order <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> cosmos. The Firebringer <strong>is</strong> consequently he<br />

who separates <strong>the</strong> elect <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> acosmic gods who have tasted <strong>the</strong> fruits <strong>of</strong> forbidden<br />

knowledge/gnos<strong>is</strong> from <strong>the</strong> spiritless masses <strong>an</strong>d <strong>the</strong> force that makes <strong>the</strong> fire-born into <strong>the</strong> living<br />

gates to <strong>the</strong> <strong>Black</strong> <strong>Light</strong>.<br />

Lucifer <strong>is</strong> <strong>the</strong>refore <strong>the</strong> <strong>an</strong>ti<strong>the</strong>s<strong>is</strong> <strong>an</strong>d enemy <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> limiting <strong>an</strong>d stagnating structures <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> cosmos<br />

<strong>an</strong>d <strong>the</strong> eternal adversary <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> powers that aim to limit <strong>the</strong> eternal <strong>an</strong>d unbound becoming <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />

formless Azoth. Because <strong>of</strong> all <strong>the</strong> abovementioned thoughts about <strong>the</strong> nature <strong>of</strong> th<strong>is</strong> acosmic<br />

power, which we have linked to <strong>the</strong> forms <strong>of</strong> Lucifer, it should be clear that th<strong>is</strong> Bringer <strong>of</strong><br />

Forbidden <strong>Light</strong> <strong>is</strong> <strong>the</strong> very same essence as <strong>the</strong> Accuser <strong>an</strong>d <strong>the</strong> Adversary called Sat<strong>an</strong>. For<br />

Lucifer must, in order to enlighten, act upon <strong>an</strong> ex<strong>is</strong>ting darkness <strong>an</strong>d in order to bring truth he must<br />

first d<strong>is</strong>pel <strong>the</strong> lie. So <strong>the</strong> very nature <strong>an</strong>d effect <strong>of</strong> a Lucifer makes him into a Sat<strong>an</strong> <strong>of</strong> that which<br />

he must act as <strong>an</strong> <strong>an</strong>ti<strong>the</strong>s<strong>is</strong> <strong>of</strong>.<br />

Sat<strong>an</strong> me<strong>an</strong>s 'adversary', 'opposer' <strong>an</strong>d 'accuser'. Sat<strong>an</strong> <strong>an</strong>d Lucifer are <strong>the</strong>refore not two separate<br />

entities/gods/principals/powers, but one <strong>an</strong>d <strong>the</strong> same essence <strong>of</strong> Spiritual Fire (Throne <strong>of</strong> South).<br />

The word Lucifer describes our fa<strong>the</strong>r's effect on those <strong>of</strong> us who walk on <strong>the</strong> left h<strong>an</strong>d path <strong>an</strong>d are<br />

in harmony with h<strong>is</strong> dark gnos<strong>is</strong>, while Sat<strong>an</strong> <strong>is</strong> <strong>the</strong> word that describes our fa<strong>the</strong>r's effect/reaction<br />

towards that which blots out <strong>the</strong> acosmic truth <strong>an</strong>d those faithful <strong>an</strong>d blinded slaves <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> demiurge<br />

that walk on <strong>the</strong> right h<strong>an</strong>d path <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> White <strong>Light</strong>.<br />

Because <strong>of</strong> th<strong>is</strong> gnos<strong>is</strong> about <strong>the</strong> true nature <strong>of</strong> Lucifer-Sat<strong>an</strong> <strong>the</strong> name/word Lucifer <strong>is</strong> <strong>of</strong>ten used<br />

during those rites that have as <strong>the</strong>ir aim to bring forth <strong>the</strong> blessings <strong>an</strong>d <strong>the</strong> illumination <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Black</strong><br />

<strong>Light</strong>, while <strong>the</strong> word/name Sat<strong>an</strong> more <strong>of</strong>ten <strong>is</strong> uttered <strong>an</strong>d called upon within more adversarial <strong>an</strong>d<br />

destructive contexts. But both names represent <strong>the</strong> exact same essence, just seen from two different<br />

perspectives. Lucifer-Sat<strong>an</strong> <strong>is</strong> <strong>the</strong> Outer Eternal <strong>Black</strong> Fire whose reflection within <strong>the</strong> microcosm<br />

burns within us in <strong>the</strong> form <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Black</strong> Flame <strong>of</strong> Spirit.<br />

Lucifer <strong>an</strong>d Sat<strong>an</strong> are only two <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> m<strong>an</strong>y words/names that are used within <strong>the</strong> Sat<strong>an</strong>ic/Luciferi<strong>an</strong><br />

tradition linked to <strong>the</strong> Firstborn <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Black</strong> <strong>Light</strong>. A few examples <strong>of</strong> o<strong>the</strong>r forms used within <strong>the</strong><br />

p<strong>an</strong><strong>the</strong>ons <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> dark traditions that represent <strong>the</strong> same illuminating <strong>an</strong>d adversarial power we have<br />

linked with Lucifer-Sat<strong>an</strong> are: Kingu, Apep, Set, Typhon, Ahrim<strong>an</strong>, Angra Mainyu, Shait<strong>an</strong>, Surt,<br />

Loke, Exu Maioral, Samael, Lot<strong>an</strong>, Diabolus, Prome<strong>the</strong>us <strong>an</strong>d Azerate, which <strong>is</strong> a word linked to<br />

<strong>the</strong> fullness <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>an</strong>ti-cosmic power <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> nightside.<br />

Before <strong>an</strong>y <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> abovementioned words/names c<strong>an</strong> be used in order to establ<strong>is</strong>h contact with <strong>the</strong><br />

essence that our temple links to <strong>the</strong> forms <strong>of</strong> Lucifer-Sat<strong>an</strong>, <strong>the</strong>ir hidden me<strong>an</strong>ings must first be<br />

understood <strong>an</strong>d internalized by <strong>the</strong> initiate. For our truth <strong>is</strong> that all <strong>the</strong> names mentioned in th<strong>is</strong> text<br />

represent, on different levels, one <strong>an</strong>d <strong>the</strong> same power <strong>of</strong> our God <strong>an</strong>d role model, <strong>the</strong> Firstborn<br />

Evil, <strong>the</strong> Sat<strong>an</strong>ic Ideal<br />

Within m<strong>an</strong>y <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> texts, rituals <strong>an</strong>d invocations that are used in <strong>the</strong> Sat<strong>an</strong>ic tradition, Sat<strong>an</strong> <strong>is</strong><br />

pra<strong>is</strong>ed as <strong>the</strong> 'Lord <strong>of</strong> Evil' <strong>an</strong>d evil seems to be portrayed as something 'good'. In order to<br />

underst<strong>an</strong>d th<strong>is</strong> exaltation <strong>of</strong> 'evil' we need to first determine what it <strong>is</strong> that we, within <strong>the</strong> dark<br />

tradition, me<strong>an</strong> by <strong>the</strong> word 'evil' when <strong>the</strong> term <strong>is</strong> used as a positive denomination.<br />

As Sat<strong>an</strong><strong>is</strong>ts <strong>an</strong>d Chaosoph<strong>is</strong>ts, we place ourselves above <strong>an</strong>d beyond all moral illusions <strong>an</strong>d<br />

constrained ethical values that <strong>the</strong> ruling, demiurgic/archonic world order uses in order to enslave<br />

<strong>an</strong>d keep <strong>the</strong> subhum<strong>an</strong> cattle in check. Thus words like good <strong>an</strong>d evil actually have no static<br />

me<strong>an</strong>ing for us <strong>an</strong>d must be understood as totally relative terms that only c<strong>an</strong> express subjective<br />

values.<br />

But we also underst<strong>an</strong>d that while we ourselves view <strong>the</strong> me<strong>an</strong>ings most <strong>of</strong>ten associated with <strong>the</strong>se<br />

11


words as illusory <strong>an</strong>d as <strong>the</strong> mental programming <strong>of</strong> enslavement, <strong>the</strong>re are still billions <strong>of</strong> people<br />

that let <strong>the</strong>ir empty lives become controlled by <strong>the</strong> signific<strong>an</strong>ce <strong>the</strong>y have been brainwashed to<br />

attribute to <strong>the</strong>se words.<br />

Because <strong>of</strong> th<strong>is</strong> we choose, within certain contexts, to align ourselves with <strong>an</strong>d pay tribute to 'that<br />

which <strong>is</strong> evil' in order to show <strong>an</strong>d make clear our st<strong>an</strong>ce as <strong>the</strong> adversaries <strong>an</strong>d opposers to, <strong>an</strong>d<br />

accusers <strong>of</strong>, <strong>the</strong> ruling status quo <strong>an</strong>d that which <strong>is</strong> deemed good <strong>an</strong>d pure by <strong>the</strong> enslavers.<br />

All that which <strong>the</strong> archonic world rulers have establ<strong>is</strong>hed as <strong>the</strong> ideal <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> 'highest good' <strong>is</strong>, in<br />

truth, that which <strong>the</strong> pneumatic elect <strong>of</strong> Sat<strong>an</strong>-Lucifer underst<strong>an</strong>d as being <strong>an</strong>ti-evolutionary <strong>an</strong>d<br />

enslaving. For example, slave mentality <strong>an</strong>d morality, ignor<strong>an</strong>ce <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> harsh truth, weakness <strong>of</strong><br />

spirit <strong>an</strong>d mind, passivity, masoch<strong>is</strong>m, apathy, self denial <strong>an</strong>d weak-willed conformity are all<br />

attributes deemed attractive <strong>an</strong>d good by <strong>the</strong> followers <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> right h<strong>an</strong>d path. Th<strong>is</strong> 'dextral path <strong>of</strong><br />

goodness' c<strong>an</strong> <strong>the</strong>refore only reinforce <strong>the</strong> cosmic enslavement <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> spiritless serv<strong>an</strong>ts <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> chief<br />

archon.<br />

Thus Sat<strong>an</strong>, as <strong>the</strong> Lord <strong>of</strong> Evil, represents all that <strong>is</strong> above <strong>an</strong>d beyond <strong>the</strong> moral illusions <strong>an</strong>d<br />

limitations attached to <strong>the</strong> words good <strong>an</strong>d goodness. Hence, He becomes <strong>the</strong> Champion <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Evil<br />

that opposes <strong>the</strong> oppressive <strong>an</strong>d weakening ideals that are proclaimed by world rulers. When <strong>the</strong><br />

ideals <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> good lead to <strong>the</strong> repression <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> inner acausal potential <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> elect <strong>an</strong>d have as <strong>the</strong>ir<br />

function to impr<strong>is</strong>on <strong>the</strong> <strong>Black</strong> Flame <strong>an</strong>d <strong>the</strong> wild beast within, <strong>the</strong> Principle <strong>of</strong> Evil becomes <strong>the</strong><br />

ideal <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Prome<strong>the</strong><strong>an</strong>.<br />

It <strong>is</strong> because <strong>of</strong> all <strong>the</strong> above stated ideas that <strong>the</strong> Sat<strong>an</strong><strong>is</strong>t always relates to <strong>the</strong> Dark Gods <strong>an</strong>d<br />

principal adversaries <strong>of</strong> all pro-cosmic religions. For <strong>the</strong>se Dark Gods most <strong>of</strong>ten represent <strong>the</strong> 'Evil<br />

Impulse' to go against <strong>the</strong> accepted moral values, which have as <strong>the</strong>ir aim to enslave <strong>an</strong>d control <strong>the</strong><br />

great majority <strong>of</strong> gullible <strong>an</strong>d easily controlled lambs within <strong>the</strong> society in which <strong>the</strong>se 'good values'<br />

are establ<strong>is</strong>hed.<br />

The sin<strong>is</strong>ter (left) way <strong>is</strong> thus called <strong>the</strong> Path <strong>of</strong> Evil that leads <strong>the</strong> strong <strong>of</strong> spirit to <strong>the</strong> true highest<br />

good, which <strong>is</strong> <strong>the</strong> total freedom beyond all restrictions.<br />

The Three Dark Veils Before Sat<strong>an</strong><br />

<strong>an</strong>d <strong>the</strong> <strong>Black</strong> <strong>Light</strong> Gnos<strong>is</strong><br />

000 - Tohu - Chaos: Qemetiel 'Crown <strong>of</strong> Gods'<br />

00 - Bohu - Emptiness: Beliaal 'Without God'<br />

0 - Chasek - Darkness: Aathiel 'Uncertainty'<br />

These are 'The Three Powers (or Dark Veils) Before Sat<strong>an</strong>' <strong>an</strong>d are within our tradition seen as <strong>the</strong><br />

three Forces that came out <strong>of</strong> Ain S<strong>of</strong> in order to make way for <strong>the</strong> m<strong>an</strong>ifestation <strong>of</strong> The <strong>Black</strong> <strong>Light</strong><br />

in The Outer Darkness that became Sitra Ahra. These three powers c<strong>an</strong> be seen as <strong>the</strong> Burning<br />

Trident held high above <strong>the</strong> Thaumit<strong>an</strong>/Two-headed Master <strong>of</strong> Thaumiel. These three powers c<strong>an</strong><br />

also be viewed as Wrathful Reflections <strong>of</strong> Ain, Ain S<strong>of</strong> <strong>an</strong>d Ain S<strong>of</strong> Aur, <strong>an</strong>d as <strong>the</strong> Three Steps<br />

from Sitra Ahra back to <strong>the</strong> womb <strong>of</strong> Tehom/Tiamat or to The Mystery Unm<strong>an</strong>ifested (ie. The<br />

Primal Chaos).<br />

We view Sitra Ahra as 'The Universe B' or 'The Nightside', NOT as <strong>the</strong> 'Nightside <strong>of</strong> Eden', but as<br />

The Nightside <strong>of</strong> Ain S<strong>of</strong>'s Em<strong>an</strong>ation, establ<strong>is</strong>hed by The <strong>Black</strong> <strong>Light</strong> or The Left <strong>Light</strong> called 'Or<br />

She-ein bo Mahshavah', which me<strong>an</strong>s 'The <strong>Light</strong> Without Any Thought <strong>of</strong> Creation'.<br />

The me<strong>an</strong>ing <strong>of</strong> Universe A <strong>an</strong>d Universe B within our tradition <strong>is</strong> <strong>the</strong> following: 'Universe A' =<br />

Universe <strong>of</strong> 1 or 10 (A=1, 1=10), which <strong>is</strong> <strong>the</strong> universe <strong>of</strong> Cosmic Order, Law, stas<strong>is</strong> <strong>an</strong>d causality.<br />

As <strong>the</strong> 1=10 <strong>is</strong> <strong>the</strong> closed circle so <strong>is</strong> th<strong>is</strong> Universe A closed <strong>an</strong>d separated from <strong>the</strong> p<strong>an</strong>dimesional<br />

divine power.<br />

'Universe B' = Universe <strong>of</strong> 2 or 11 (B=2, 2=11), which <strong>is</strong> <strong>the</strong> Universe <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Counter <strong>Light</strong> or<br />

divine <strong>an</strong>ti<strong>the</strong>s<strong>is</strong>, lawlessness, dynamic becoming <strong>an</strong>d acausality. Th<strong>is</strong> we see in <strong>the</strong> number <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />

letter B which <strong>is</strong> 2. And 2 <strong>is</strong> <strong>the</strong> number <strong>of</strong> Thaumit<strong>an</strong>/Thaumiel, <strong>the</strong> <strong>the</strong>s<strong>is</strong> <strong>an</strong>d <strong>an</strong>ti<strong>the</strong>s<strong>is</strong> which<br />

create <strong>the</strong> syn<strong>the</strong>s<strong>is</strong> (instead <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> stagnation <strong>an</strong>d stas<strong>is</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> number 1), <strong>the</strong> broken circle/spiral<br />

leading back <strong>an</strong>d connected to The Unm<strong>an</strong>ifested <strong>an</strong>d The P<strong>an</strong>dimensional. 2 <strong>is</strong> also, in th<strong>is</strong> context,<br />

<strong>the</strong> shadowless shadow <strong>an</strong>d The Avenger or The Liberator <strong>of</strong> that which <strong>is</strong> bound by 1 (one) within<br />

<strong>the</strong> Universe A.<br />

Within our Order ex<strong>is</strong>ts <strong>the</strong> <strong>Temple</strong> <strong>of</strong> The <strong>Black</strong> <strong>Light</strong>, which <strong>is</strong> dedicated to <strong>the</strong> ch<strong>an</strong>nelling,<br />

m<strong>an</strong>ifesting <strong>an</strong>d streng<strong>the</strong>ning <strong>of</strong> th<strong>is</strong> <strong>an</strong>ti-cosmic impulse <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> primal p<strong>an</strong>dimensional force<br />

within <strong>the</strong> 'Universe A'. Lucifer <strong>is</strong>, from th<strong>is</strong> perspective, <strong>an</strong> aspect <strong>of</strong> 'Chavajoth' (whose true name<br />

<strong>an</strong>d number <strong>is</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> essence <strong>of</strong> 11) who <strong>is</strong> <strong>the</strong> bringer <strong>of</strong> th<strong>is</strong> <strong>Black</strong> <strong>Light</strong> <strong>of</strong> Sitra Ahra. Lucifer, for<br />

us, has got nothing to do with <strong>an</strong>y Rom<strong>an</strong> god, <strong>the</strong> pl<strong>an</strong>et Venus or <strong>the</strong> element <strong>of</strong> Air. Lucifer <strong>is</strong> a<br />

word <strong>an</strong>d not a name. Lucifer <strong>is</strong> The Bringer <strong>of</strong> <strong>Light</strong>, <strong>the</strong> light <strong>of</strong> Or She-ein bo Mahshavah!<br />

Those who seek The Mystery Unm<strong>an</strong>ifested will be illuminated by th<strong>is</strong> <strong>Black</strong> <strong>Light</strong>, <strong>an</strong>d those who<br />

do not have <strong>the</strong> essence <strong>of</strong> Sitra Ahra within <strong>the</strong>m (ie, The <strong>Black</strong> Flame) will see nothing but The<br />

Terror <strong>of</strong> Darkness!<br />

Lucifer's <strong>Light</strong> will forever be darkness in <strong>the</strong> eyes <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Blind....<br />

The <strong>Light</strong> <strong>of</strong> Lucifer <strong>is</strong> <strong>the</strong> Gnos<strong>is</strong>/Daath that <strong>is</strong> <strong>the</strong> Gate to Sitra Ahra, <strong>an</strong>d in Sitra Ahra are <strong>the</strong><br />

paths to The Mystery Unm<strong>an</strong>ifested, beyond The Crown <strong>of</strong> The Dark Gods...<br />

Th<strong>is</strong> <strong>is</strong> also <strong>the</strong> goal <strong>of</strong> Sat<strong>an</strong> himself; to destroy <strong>the</strong> restrictions/forms/m<strong>an</strong>ifestations <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />

Sefirotic em<strong>an</strong>ations from Ain S<strong>of</strong>, so that he Himself c<strong>an</strong> also become free to return to The Womb<br />

<strong>of</strong> The Dragon.<br />

The YHVH (Demiurge) seeks separation from <strong>an</strong>d m<strong>an</strong>ifestation outside <strong>the</strong> Ur-Kaos, but Sat<strong>an</strong><br />

ex<strong>is</strong>ts only in order to return All (himself included) to that same Kaos!<br />

We who share th<strong>is</strong> Will <strong>of</strong> The God Sat<strong>an</strong> are Sat<strong>an</strong><strong>is</strong>ts <strong>an</strong>d <strong>the</strong>refore Luciferi<strong>an</strong>s (Lucifer <strong>is</strong> Sat<strong>an</strong>).<br />

One c<strong>an</strong> <strong>the</strong>refore say that 'The Three Dark Veils Before Sat<strong>an</strong>' are <strong>the</strong> triple m<strong>an</strong>ifestation <strong>of</strong> The<br />

Wrathful Kaos (which em<strong>an</strong>ated from Ain S<strong>of</strong>), before <strong>the</strong> m<strong>an</strong>ifestation <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Kliffot <strong>an</strong>d <strong>the</strong> Tree<br />

<strong>of</strong> Death. The essence <strong>of</strong> The <strong>Black</strong> <strong>Light</strong> m<strong>an</strong>ifests itself through <strong>the</strong>se three dark veils <strong>of</strong> <strong>an</strong>ti-<br />

ex<strong>is</strong>tence within Thaumiel (<strong>the</strong> first Kliffa) as <strong>the</strong> Two-Headed God (or as 'The Twins <strong>of</strong> The<br />

Unm<strong>an</strong>ifested God'). As for which head <strong>of</strong> Thaumiel <strong>is</strong> turned towards where, we sometimes say<br />

that Moloch <strong>is</strong> <strong>the</strong> one with h<strong>is</strong> face turned down towards <strong>the</strong> lower Kliffot (<strong>an</strong>d <strong>the</strong> world) <strong>an</strong>d it <strong>is</strong><br />

Sat<strong>an</strong> who <strong>is</strong> looking back up to 'The Kaos Unm<strong>an</strong>ifested', that he ever seeks to return to.<br />

We <strong>the</strong>refore say that 'The fires <strong>of</strong> Moloch burn before The Throne <strong>of</strong> Sat<strong>an</strong>'. The fires <strong>of</strong> Moloch<br />

are <strong>the</strong> final cle<strong>an</strong>sing for 'The Sitra Ahra Adept', before He/She gets to face The Master Sat<strong>an</strong>/The<br />

First Head <strong>an</strong>d The God <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Elevenfold Kliffot <strong>an</strong>d Wrathful Kaos!<br />

The term 'Or She-ein bo Mahshavah' <strong>is</strong> from <strong>the</strong> teachings <strong>of</strong> Nath<strong>an</strong> <strong>of</strong> Gaza, but <strong>the</strong> idea <strong>an</strong>d<br />

concept <strong>of</strong> th<strong>is</strong> <strong>Black</strong> <strong>Light</strong> c<strong>an</strong> be found within m<strong>an</strong>y o<strong>the</strong>r esoteric teachings <strong>an</strong>d dark traditions.<br />

Gerschom Scholem has written: "The thoughtless lights (<strong>Black</strong> <strong>Light</strong>), build structures <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>ir own,<br />

Demonic worlds <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Kelippot whose sole intent <strong>is</strong> to destroy what <strong>the</strong> thoughtful light (ie. The<br />

White or Right <strong>Light</strong>) has wrought. These forces are called 'Serpents (Dragons) dwelling in <strong>the</strong><br />

great Abyss'. The Sat<strong>an</strong>ic Powers, called in Zohar 'Sitra Ahra', are none o<strong>the</strong>r th<strong>an</strong> <strong>the</strong> sin<strong>is</strong>ter (left)<br />

side <strong>of</strong> Ein-s<strong>of</strong> itself."<br />

Noore Siyahe Ahrimän, <strong>is</strong> <strong>the</strong> same concept as <strong>the</strong> <strong>Black</strong> <strong>Light</strong>, within <strong>the</strong> Persi<strong>an</strong> system <strong>an</strong>d c<strong>an</strong><br />

be found within all <strong>the</strong> <strong>an</strong>ti-cosmic forms <strong>of</strong> esoteric<strong>is</strong>m.<br />

One c<strong>an</strong> also recognize <strong>the</strong>se kinds <strong>of</strong> ideas in some forms <strong>of</strong> Gnostic<strong>is</strong>m, as in <strong>the</strong> traditions <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />

Luciferi<strong>an</strong>s, Ophites <strong>an</strong>d <strong>the</strong> Cainites. Out <strong>of</strong> The Pleroma comes <strong>the</strong> fallen impulse which restricts<br />

<strong>the</strong> fullness <strong>of</strong> The Divine Unm<strong>an</strong>ifested <strong>an</strong>d Alien God/Goddess. But out <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> same source comes<br />

also <strong>the</strong> em<strong>an</strong>ations that are <strong>an</strong>ti-demiurgic in essence <strong>an</strong>d have as <strong>the</strong>ir aim to return <strong>the</strong> stolen<br />

sparks <strong>of</strong> Pneuma (for us 'The <strong>Black</strong> Flames') back to <strong>the</strong> Acausal <strong>an</strong>d P<strong>an</strong>dimesional realm <strong>of</strong> The<br />

Dark Divine. These forces that work against <strong>the</strong> illusory forms <strong>an</strong>d laws <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> cosmic creation act<br />

as a 'Sat<strong>an</strong>' against <strong>the</strong> Demiurge <strong>an</strong>d h<strong>is</strong> Archons, <strong>an</strong>d <strong>the</strong>y bring <strong>the</strong> forbidden <strong>Black</strong> <strong>Light</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />

True God, to those few who have ears to hear with <strong>an</strong>d eyes to see <strong>the</strong> truth that <strong>the</strong>y reveal.<br />

From <strong>the</strong> cosmic perspective <strong>the</strong>se <strong>an</strong>ti-cosmic forces are demonic <strong>an</strong>d evil, but <strong>the</strong> Truth <strong>is</strong> that<br />

<strong>the</strong>y are <strong>the</strong> Angels <strong>of</strong> The Left <strong>Light</strong>/<strong>Black</strong> <strong>Light</strong> <strong>of</strong> The Unknown God.<br />

In T<strong>an</strong>tr<strong>is</strong>m, Samhara Rakta Kali <strong>is</strong> <strong>the</strong> m<strong>an</strong>ifestation <strong>of</strong> th<strong>is</strong> <strong>Black</strong> <strong>Light</strong> who acts as The Left<br />

Em<strong>an</strong>ation <strong>of</strong> Parashakti (The Tr<strong>an</strong>scendent Power) that returns everything back to <strong>the</strong> womb <strong>of</strong><br />

The Dark Mo<strong>the</strong>r.<br />

But in Kliffotic Kabbala (The Kabbala <strong>of</strong> Sat<strong>an</strong>) one always follows <strong>the</strong> path <strong>of</strong> The <strong>Black</strong> <strong>Light</strong><br />

through <strong>the</strong> Sitra Ahra, for to climb <strong>the</strong> 'tree <strong>of</strong> life' will not open <strong>the</strong> gates to that which <strong>is</strong> Beyond.<br />

Th<strong>is</strong> 'tree' functions to separate itself from that Ur-Kaos <strong>of</strong> The Unm<strong>an</strong>ifested in order to m<strong>an</strong>ifest,<br />

whereas <strong>the</strong> function <strong>of</strong> The Tree <strong>of</strong> Daath/Death <strong>is</strong> to bring All back to that Acausal Primal Source<br />

which we strive to become as one with. The Ego seeks separation in th<strong>is</strong> demiurgic fashion, but The<br />

Self or The <strong>Black</strong> Flame/Pneuma seeks <strong>the</strong> P<strong>an</strong>dimensional/Acausal state <strong>of</strong> All-potential beyond<br />

<strong>the</strong> restrictions <strong>an</strong>d laws <strong>of</strong> cosmos/matter/causality.<br />

These ideas are <strong>the</strong> reason why we have two names to describe our tradition <strong>of</strong><br />

Sat<strong>an</strong><strong>is</strong>m/Luciferi<strong>an</strong><strong>is</strong>m. One <strong>is</strong> 'Anti-Cosmic Sat<strong>an</strong><strong>is</strong>m' <strong>an</strong>d <strong>the</strong> o<strong>the</strong>r <strong>is</strong> 'Chaos-<br />

Gnostic<strong>is</strong>m/Chaosophy'. Lucifer <strong>is</strong> <strong>the</strong> function <strong>of</strong> Sat<strong>an</strong> that brings The <strong>Black</strong> <strong>Light</strong> <strong>an</strong>d its<br />

15


Forbidden Gnos<strong>is</strong> into th<strong>is</strong> world.

Tehom <strong>an</strong>d Sheol<br />

In th<strong>is</strong> short text we w<strong>an</strong>t to explain one aspect <strong>of</strong> our Current's teachings about <strong>the</strong> Kliffot that will<br />

differ from o<strong>the</strong>r traditions. Th<strong>is</strong> aspect <strong>is</strong> about <strong>the</strong> name that we use for <strong>the</strong> highest triad <strong>an</strong>d <strong>the</strong><br />

first 'Hell' <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Kliffot, which cons<strong>is</strong>ts <strong>of</strong> Satariel, Ghagiel <strong>an</strong>d Thaumiel.<br />

Usually, <strong>an</strong>d outside our current, th<strong>is</strong> triad was <strong>an</strong>d <strong>is</strong> called 'Sheol', which c<strong>an</strong> be tr<strong>an</strong>slated as '<strong>the</strong><br />

Pit', '<strong>the</strong> grave' or 'under <strong>the</strong> earth'. The reason why o<strong>the</strong>rs have used th<strong>is</strong> name <strong>is</strong> because <strong>the</strong>y have<br />

w<strong>an</strong>ted to point out that <strong>the</strong> highest aspects <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Kliffot really were <strong>the</strong> lowest form <strong>of</strong> spiritual<br />

descent. They connected <strong>the</strong> Kliffot to gross <strong>an</strong>d empty matter <strong>an</strong>d w<strong>an</strong>ted to place <strong>the</strong>ir demiurgic<br />

'god' as <strong>the</strong> highest point <strong>of</strong> spiritual 'light'.<br />

We, on <strong>the</strong> o<strong>the</strong>r h<strong>an</strong>d, do not see things in th<strong>is</strong> false light <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> hylicoi. For us <strong>the</strong> Kliffot are <strong>the</strong><br />

<strong>Black</strong> <strong>Light</strong> M<strong>an</strong>ifested <strong>an</strong>d that which opposes <strong>the</strong> cosmic creation. For us <strong>the</strong> descent into <strong>the</strong><br />

'Abyss'/Daath <strong>is</strong> through Gnos<strong>is</strong> <strong>an</strong>d, <strong>the</strong>refore, a true spiritual form <strong>of</strong> ascent <strong>an</strong>d tr<strong>an</strong>scendence.<br />

Because <strong>of</strong> th<strong>is</strong> we choose not to call <strong>the</strong> highest spheres by <strong>the</strong> name that denotes <strong>the</strong>m as <strong>the</strong><br />

lowest. However, that <strong>is</strong> only <strong>the</strong> exoteric reason why we reject <strong>the</strong> use <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> name Sheol <strong>an</strong>d<br />

instead use Tehom.<br />

The esoteric reason <strong>is</strong> that Tehom, which me<strong>an</strong>s 'great deep <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> primordial waters (<strong>of</strong> Chaos)',<br />

'The Deep' <strong>an</strong>d 'Abyss', <strong>is</strong> a word derived from <strong>the</strong> Babyloni<strong>an</strong> name <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Dragon, Tiamat. The<br />

plural <strong>of</strong> Tehom <strong>is</strong> Tehomoth (depths), which shows <strong>the</strong> roots <strong>of</strong> th<strong>is</strong> word even more clearly. It <strong>is</strong> a<br />

name that <strong>is</strong> esoterically connected to Chaos <strong>an</strong>d to <strong>the</strong> pre-Judaic concepts <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Primal Acausal<br />

Force.<br />

One may ask why we do not call <strong>the</strong> three forms above <strong>an</strong>d beyond Thaumiel th<strong>is</strong> name instead, as<br />

Tohu, Bohu <strong>an</strong>d Chasek would better fit <strong>the</strong> concept <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Triad <strong>of</strong> Chaos. Well, <strong>the</strong>y are in <strong>an</strong><br />

esoteric sense <strong>the</strong> Unm<strong>an</strong>ifested Triad <strong>of</strong> Chaos, or in some contexts even seen as a downwards<br />

pointing tri<strong>an</strong>gle <strong>of</strong> <strong>Black</strong> <strong>Light</strong>. Th<strong>is</strong> <strong>is</strong> actually <strong>the</strong> reason why we call <strong>the</strong>ir three m<strong>an</strong>ifested<br />

aspects on <strong>the</strong> Tree <strong>of</strong> Death/Daath 'Tehom'.<br />

16


Thaumiel, Ghagiel <strong>an</strong>d Satariel are aspects <strong>of</strong> Tohu (Formless/Chaos), Bohu (Emptiness) <strong>an</strong>d<br />

Chasek (Darkness).<br />

Tohu (Formless Chaos) <strong>is</strong> m<strong>an</strong>ifested within Thaumiel, which has <strong>the</strong> number Two (2=1+1=11=<br />

Chaos) <strong>an</strong>d <strong>is</strong> governed by <strong>the</strong> Two Crowned Heads/The Two-Headed Dragon/The Twins <strong>of</strong><br />

God/Thaumit<strong>an</strong>. Sat<strong>an</strong> <strong>an</strong>d Molok here are <strong>the</strong> Gods <strong>of</strong> Chaos <strong>an</strong>d <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> essence <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Tw<strong>of</strong>old<br />

Tzimtzum <strong>an</strong>d <strong>the</strong> Restricting Impulse <strong>of</strong> Ain S<strong>of</strong><br />

Tzimtzum, <strong>the</strong> concept <strong>of</strong> 'contraction <strong>an</strong>d condensation' caused by <strong>the</strong> Demiurgic <strong>Light</strong>-impulse<br />

<strong>an</strong>d motion <strong>of</strong> Ain S<strong>of</strong>, <strong>is</strong> <strong>of</strong> interest for our tradition, as it c<strong>an</strong> be linked to ideas related to <strong>the</strong><br />

Coagula <strong>an</strong>d restricting <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> originally Lawless (Acausal) Becoming <strong>of</strong> Primal Azoth (Primal<br />

Azoth = <strong>the</strong> original uncreated element <strong>of</strong> Chaos, unbound by <strong>the</strong> later created four elements <strong>of</strong><br />

17


cosmos).<br />

The Tzimtzum was <strong>the</strong> cause <strong>of</strong> time, space <strong>an</strong>d causality within <strong>the</strong> Luri<strong>an</strong>ic Kabbala <strong>an</strong>d, from<br />

our perspective, was <strong>the</strong> act <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> 'falling em<strong>an</strong>ations' from <strong>the</strong> right side <strong>of</strong> Ain S<strong>of</strong> downward<br />

towards that which would finally be m<strong>an</strong>ifested within Malkuth.<br />

According to our tradition, <strong>the</strong> 'Thoughtless (<strong>Black</strong>) <strong>Light</strong>' did not em<strong>an</strong>ate within <strong>the</strong> same 'space'<br />

(or, more correctly, <strong>the</strong> Void) that <strong>the</strong> Demiurgic <strong>Light</strong> did.<br />

The second em<strong>an</strong>ation <strong>of</strong> Ain S<strong>of</strong> was a sin<strong>is</strong>tral impulse sent to counteract that which <strong>the</strong><br />

'Thoughtful <strong>Light</strong>' had set out to accompl<strong>is</strong>h. Similar to <strong>the</strong> way in which <strong>the</strong> Demiurgic <strong>Light</strong> acted<br />

as <strong>the</strong> Coagula-Impulse <strong>an</strong>d restricting force that confined in form <strong>the</strong> sparks <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Divine in a once<br />

‘empty <strong>an</strong>d formless’ space, <strong>the</strong> <strong>Black</strong> <strong>Light</strong> acted as <strong>the</strong> Solve-Impulse <strong>of</strong> Ain S<strong>of</strong> <strong>an</strong>d filled a<br />

parallel empty space with its own em<strong>an</strong>ations in order to counteract <strong>the</strong> m<strong>an</strong>ifestations <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Light</strong><br />

<strong>of</strong> Creation.<br />

In th<strong>is</strong> way <strong>the</strong> Sitra Ahra became <strong>an</strong> <strong>an</strong>ti<strong>the</strong>tical mirror image <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Tree <strong>of</strong> Life within <strong>the</strong> Outer<br />

Darkness. Th<strong>is</strong> <strong>is</strong> a crucial aspect <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>an</strong>ti-cosmic gnos<strong>is</strong> as it separates <strong>the</strong> Dayside <strong>an</strong>d <strong>the</strong><br />

Nightside in a fundamental way, while still explaining <strong>the</strong> link <strong>an</strong>d interaction between <strong>the</strong> Universe<br />

A/1 <strong>an</strong>d <strong>the</strong> Universe B/2=11.<br />

Through kliffotic intrusion into <strong>the</strong> Dayside, <strong>the</strong> forces <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Nightside aid <strong>the</strong> return <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> divine<br />

sparks constrained within <strong>the</strong> Sefirotic forms, back into <strong>the</strong> original unbound form <strong>the</strong>y had before<br />

<strong>the</strong> Tzimtzum process impr<strong>is</strong>oned <strong>the</strong>m within <strong>the</strong> cosmic Vessels/Kelims <strong>of</strong> Hyle.<br />

The kliffotic forces are thus known to m<strong>an</strong>ifest <strong>the</strong>mselves through various aspects <strong>of</strong> d<strong>is</strong>solution <strong>of</strong><br />

cosmic form <strong>an</strong>d structure, <strong>an</strong>d c<strong>an</strong> <strong>the</strong>refore be perceived as 'agents <strong>of</strong> destruction'. But <strong>the</strong> actual<br />

truth <strong>is</strong> that even though <strong>an</strong>nihilation <strong>is</strong> <strong>the</strong>ir exoteric effect, <strong>the</strong>ir true goal <strong>is</strong> nothing less th<strong>an</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />

Liberation <strong>of</strong> Azoth/Pneuma/Spirit. In order to draw parallels to o<strong>the</strong>r relev<strong>an</strong>t lines <strong>of</strong> practice,<br />

spiritual speculation <strong>an</strong>d gnos<strong>is</strong>, we c<strong>an</strong> liken <strong>the</strong> creational process <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> relev<strong>an</strong>t Kabbal<strong>is</strong>tic<br />

systems <strong>of</strong> thought to <strong>the</strong> genes<strong>is</strong> <strong>of</strong> cosmos as described in <strong>the</strong> Enuma El<strong>is</strong>h.<br />

In <strong>the</strong> Enuma El<strong>is</strong>h, <strong>the</strong> Ain itself <strong>is</strong> <strong>the</strong> Two-fold Nothingness <strong>of</strong> Tiamat <strong>an</strong>d Absu (2=1-1=0) <strong>an</strong>d<br />

<strong>the</strong> 'Thoughtful <strong>Light</strong>' within th<strong>is</strong> context m<strong>an</strong>ifests itself out <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> unconscious state/dreams <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />

Primal Chaos/<strong>the</strong> Zeroth Two Within <strong>the</strong> Void. As a result <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> coming forth <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> unw<strong>an</strong>ted<br />

bastard gods <strong>of</strong> cosmic order, <strong>the</strong> Primal Chaos counteracted <strong>the</strong> impulse that bir<strong>the</strong>d <strong>the</strong>ir<br />

unw<strong>an</strong>ted, <strong>an</strong>d one could say, 'aborted' children, by r<strong>is</strong>ing up against <strong>the</strong>m.<br />

Th<strong>is</strong> <strong>an</strong>ti-cosmic impulse <strong>of</strong> <strong>Black</strong> <strong>Light</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> 'Zeroth Power <strong>of</strong> Two' <strong>is</strong> described as <strong>the</strong> will <strong>of</strong><br />

18


Absu to slay <strong>the</strong> new gods <strong>an</strong>d later as <strong>the</strong> Wrath <strong>of</strong> Hubur (Tiamat's <strong>an</strong>ti-cosmic aspect) which<br />

gives birth to <strong>the</strong> Eleven Champions <strong>of</strong> Chaos (0=2=11).<br />

The Sitra Ahra, if understood from a similar perspective, was not <strong>the</strong> leftovers or shells <strong>of</strong> failed<br />

cosmic worlds impr<strong>is</strong>oning <strong>the</strong> divine sparks. According to Gnos<strong>is</strong>, <strong>the</strong> <strong>an</strong>ti<strong>the</strong>tical 'O<strong>the</strong>r Side' <strong>is</strong> as<br />

old as <strong>the</strong> Sephirotic world <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Tree <strong>of</strong> Life, <strong>an</strong>d its origins are just as divine. The difference <strong>is</strong><br />

that <strong>the</strong> two sides represent different impulses <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Divine - one being <strong>the</strong> Coagula <strong>an</strong>d restriction,<br />

<strong>an</strong>d <strong>the</strong> o<strong>the</strong>r being <strong>the</strong> Solve <strong>an</strong>d liberation.<br />

In o<strong>the</strong>r words, <strong>the</strong> spheres <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> kliffot m<strong>an</strong>ifested almost simult<strong>an</strong>eously with <strong>the</strong> sephirot,<br />

forming <strong>the</strong>ir adversarial (i.e. 'Sat<strong>an</strong>ic') reflection in <strong>the</strong> Outer Darkness, beyond <strong>an</strong>d outside <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />

confines <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Tree <strong>of</strong> Life.<br />

We also believe in a form <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> 'shattering <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> vessels' that <strong>is</strong> somewhat similar to <strong>the</strong> ideas<br />

presented within <strong>the</strong> Luri<strong>an</strong>ic Kabbala, but our underst<strong>an</strong>ding regarding <strong>the</strong> cause <strong>an</strong>d effect <strong>of</strong> that<br />

'Cosmic Catastrophe' differs from <strong>the</strong>irs.<br />

Contrary to <strong>the</strong>ir belief that <strong>the</strong> sparks which spilled out from <strong>the</strong> broken vessels <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> sephirot fell<br />

down into <strong>the</strong> 'dark world <strong>of</strong> kliffot' <strong>an</strong>d are now in need <strong>of</strong> being lifted back up into <strong>the</strong> supernal<br />

sephirot in order to be redeemed, our conviction <strong>is</strong> that <strong>the</strong> actual redemption <strong>of</strong> those sparks was<br />

achieved by <strong>the</strong>ir tr<strong>an</strong>scendence into <strong>the</strong> Sitra Ahra.<br />

The shattering <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> vessels was caused by <strong>the</strong> At-Azoth process which increased <strong>the</strong> power <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />

divine sparks <strong>an</strong>d caused <strong>the</strong> cosmic vessels to overflow <strong>an</strong>d crack, thus liberating <strong>the</strong> impr<strong>is</strong>oned<br />

Azoth from <strong>the</strong> pr<strong>is</strong>on <strong>of</strong> causal clay. The breaking <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> vessels was orchestrated <strong>an</strong>d caused by<br />

<strong>the</strong> forces <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Black</strong> <strong>Light</strong>, <strong>an</strong>d are interlinked with <strong>the</strong> Great Gift <strong>of</strong> Lucifer <strong>an</strong>d <strong>the</strong> bringing<br />

down <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> fruits <strong>of</strong> Daath/Gnos<strong>is</strong> to <strong>the</strong> slumbering M<strong>an</strong> <strong>an</strong>d Wom<strong>an</strong>.<br />

It was also th<strong>is</strong> cosmic catastrophe which opened up <strong>the</strong> black holes <strong>an</strong>d gates to <strong>the</strong> Sitra Ahra<br />

within <strong>the</strong> formerly fully closed circle <strong>of</strong> cosmos.<br />

The 'Cosmic Catastrophe' <strong>is</strong> thus <strong>an</strong> ongoing process that in its final phase will lead to <strong>the</strong> return <strong>of</strong><br />

all back into <strong>the</strong> Unm<strong>an</strong>ifested <strong>an</strong>d Unbound Mystery, thus fully effacing <strong>the</strong> stifling causality<br />

The Kliffotic Kelim Fet<strong>is</strong>hes<br />

Now that certain esoteric aspects <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> 218 Current have been d<strong>is</strong>closed <strong>an</strong>d o<strong>the</strong>rs are pl<strong>an</strong>ned to<br />

be revealed in future publications <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>TOTBL</strong>, we c<strong>an</strong> briefly touch upon a previously hidden<br />

form <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> fet<strong>is</strong>h<strong>is</strong>tic cultivation <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> forces <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> kliffotic spheres within <strong>the</strong> alchemical work <strong>of</strong><br />

218.<br />

The form in question <strong>is</strong> <strong>the</strong> 'Kelim Fet<strong>is</strong>hes <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Kliffot'. These special fet<strong>is</strong>hes are consecrated<br />

vessels filled with links to <strong>the</strong> kliffotic sphere each one <strong>is</strong> me<strong>an</strong>t to collect or ch<strong>an</strong>nel essence from.<br />

These vessels are <strong>of</strong>ten in <strong>the</strong> shape <strong>of</strong> hollow statues, cauldrons, vases or bowls, <strong>an</strong>d contain m<strong>an</strong>y<br />

esoteric elements that have ritually or 'naturally' become connected to <strong>the</strong> Nightside force that <strong>is</strong><br />

relev<strong>an</strong>t to each one. Through <strong>the</strong> Great Work, <strong>the</strong>se links become tr<strong>an</strong>subst<strong>an</strong>tiated into 'One Point<br />

<strong>of</strong> Sympathy' via a concrete concentration <strong>of</strong> kliffotic energy.<br />

Th<strong>is</strong> form <strong>of</strong> fet<strong>is</strong>h<strong>is</strong>m has as its aim to create actual points <strong>of</strong> entr<strong>an</strong>ce to <strong>an</strong>d from <strong>the</strong> Sitra Ahra.<br />

Their creation c<strong>an</strong> not start until a very solid knowledge <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> actual nature <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> kliffa in question<br />

has been gained through traditional initiatory work <strong>an</strong>d direct contact with its ruler. The<br />

construction <strong>an</strong>d full m<strong>an</strong>ifestation <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>se Kelim fet<strong>is</strong>hes c<strong>an</strong> <strong>the</strong>refore take m<strong>an</strong>y years.<br />

M<strong>an</strong>y times, <strong>the</strong> tokens <strong>an</strong>d magical objects <strong>of</strong> each kliffotic ruler’s altar become <strong>the</strong> seeds <strong>of</strong> power<br />

later pl<strong>an</strong>ted into a Kelim. The Kelim, in its final stage, becomes a focused point <strong>of</strong> power<br />

belonging to <strong>the</strong> kliffotic sphere it embodies. Simult<strong>an</strong>eously, it represents, in a very concrete<br />

fashion, <strong>the</strong> level <strong>of</strong> gnos<strong>is</strong> <strong>an</strong>d empowerment that <strong>the</strong> initiate has accumulated through h<strong>is</strong>/her<br />

work.<br />

The first Kelim <strong>of</strong> our tradition <strong>is</strong> that <strong>of</strong> Naamah. Th<strong>is</strong> Fet<strong>is</strong>h Vessel <strong>is</strong> <strong>of</strong>ten constructed within <strong>an</strong><br />

unglazed terracotta bowl that has been ritually cle<strong>an</strong>sed <strong>an</strong>d dedicated to <strong>the</strong> Great Work <strong>of</strong><br />

Nahemoth. A suitable <strong>of</strong>fering <strong>is</strong> given in <strong>the</strong> name <strong>of</strong> '<strong>the</strong> Pleas<strong>an</strong>t One' <strong>an</strong>d <strong>the</strong> blood <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />

<strong>of</strong>fering <strong>is</strong> mixed with a Magical Ink <strong>of</strong> Naamah.<br />

Th<strong>is</strong> empowered ink <strong>is</strong> <strong>the</strong>n used to mark all <strong>the</strong> relev<strong>an</strong>t sigils, symbols <strong>an</strong>d formulas <strong>of</strong> Nahema<br />

upon <strong>the</strong> outside <strong>an</strong>d inside <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> vessel. The marked but still empty fet<strong>is</strong>h vessel <strong>is</strong> later kept upon<br />

<strong>the</strong> altar as a symbol for <strong>the</strong> will to become satiated with <strong>the</strong> em<strong>an</strong>ations <strong>of</strong> Nahemoth.<br />

When enough knowledge <strong>of</strong>, <strong>an</strong>d links to, <strong>the</strong> <strong>Black</strong> Earth have been ga<strong>the</strong>red <strong>an</strong>d <strong>the</strong> license to<br />

proceed with <strong>the</strong> work has been gained directly from <strong>the</strong> kliffotic ruler (in th<strong>is</strong> case, Naamah) <strong>the</strong>y<br />

are, at a crucial, <strong>of</strong>ten liminal, point in time, sown into <strong>the</strong> holy vessel <strong>an</strong>d, through <strong>the</strong> gnos<strong>is</strong> that<br />

20


has been received thus far, tr<strong>an</strong>sformed into <strong>the</strong> 'One Point <strong>of</strong> Sympathy'.<br />

The actual contents <strong>of</strong> each vessel c<strong>an</strong> differ somewhat from one initiate to <strong>an</strong>o<strong>the</strong>r, but certain<br />

essential elements will always remain <strong>the</strong> same as long as <strong>the</strong> same spiritual Current <strong>is</strong> ch<strong>an</strong>nelled.<br />

Among <strong>the</strong>se elements are tal<strong>is</strong>m<strong>an</strong>s marked with certain sigils <strong>an</strong>d spells, metals consecrated <strong>an</strong>d<br />

enlinked with <strong>the</strong> relev<strong>an</strong>t energy current, stones <strong>an</strong>d crystals that correspond to <strong>the</strong> sphere in<br />

question, soil ritually obtained from different places <strong>of</strong> power somehow connected to <strong>the</strong> sphere in<br />

question, herbs <strong>an</strong>d pl<strong>an</strong>t parts possessing <strong>the</strong> esoteric daemonic vibration <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> kliffa, org<strong>an</strong>ic<br />

matter obtained through different forms <strong>of</strong> 'rites <strong>of</strong> giving <strong>an</strong>d receiving', <strong>an</strong>d m<strong>an</strong>y more such<br />

elements <strong>an</strong>d sorcerous links.<br />

In <strong>the</strong> traditional form <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Kelim <strong>of</strong> Naamah <strong>the</strong> terracotta bowl <strong>is</strong> filled with soil <strong>an</strong>d o<strong>the</strong>r<br />

magical powders, into which <strong>the</strong> m<strong>an</strong>y different esoteric elements have been 'pl<strong>an</strong>ted' or buried. The<br />

Kelim <strong>is</strong> topped with a consecrated skull <strong>of</strong> a black dog, <strong>an</strong>d on top <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> skull <strong>is</strong> placed <strong>an</strong><br />

inscribed <strong>an</strong>d dressed black c<strong>an</strong>dle which <strong>is</strong> lit in order to activate <strong>the</strong> powers <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Kelim.<br />

Such a Kelim becomes <strong>an</strong> actual living Point <strong>of</strong> Power <strong>an</strong>d must be h<strong>an</strong>dled with great care <strong>an</strong>d<br />

requires to be fed with suitable <strong>of</strong>ferings that are in harmony with its own nature <strong>an</strong>d power.<br />

The Kelim fet<strong>is</strong>h has its obvious uses as <strong>an</strong> empowering tool <strong>of</strong> kliffotic sorcery, but it <strong>is</strong> also a<br />

point <strong>of</strong> intrusion for <strong>the</strong> forces <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Outside, through which both <strong>the</strong> microcosmic <strong>an</strong>d <strong>the</strong><br />

macrocosmic Atazoth process <strong>is</strong> facilitated.<br />

The shattering <strong>an</strong>d overflowing <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Eleven Kliffotic Kelims <strong>is</strong> <strong>the</strong> same as <strong>the</strong> breaking <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />

Eleven Seals <strong>of</strong> Liberation <strong>an</strong>d <strong>the</strong> turning <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Eleven Keys <strong>of</strong> Sitra Ahra, which <strong>is</strong> <strong>the</strong> final<br />

initiatic goal <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>an</strong>ti-cosmic Adept, leading to <strong>the</strong> glorious Azoth<strong>an</strong> phase <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Chaosophic<br />

Alchemy.<br />

* Invocations<br />

The primary reason for <strong>the</strong> presentation <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> following invocations <strong>is</strong> to <strong>of</strong>fer 'poetic' <strong>an</strong>d codified<br />

d<strong>is</strong>courses concerning some <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> different aspects <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Divinities <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Black</strong> <strong>Light</strong> who act as<br />

central points <strong>of</strong> power within <strong>the</strong> 218 Current.<br />

Although <strong>the</strong> invocations presented here are from <strong>the</strong> m<strong>an</strong>y 'parallel lines <strong>of</strong> practice' that ex<strong>is</strong>t<br />

within <strong>the</strong> <strong>an</strong>ti-cosmic tradition, <strong>the</strong>ir use must be reserved solely for <strong>the</strong>ir own correct contexts. For<br />

example, <strong>the</strong> different p<strong>an</strong><strong>the</strong>ons that Leviath<strong>an</strong> <strong>an</strong>d Hekate, or Apep <strong>an</strong>d Sorath, belong to must<br />

never be mixed toge<strong>the</strong>r within <strong>the</strong> same ritual setting.<br />

By working with each god-form within its own traditional setting, <strong>the</strong> integrity <strong>an</strong>d focused power<br />

<strong>of</strong> each line <strong>of</strong> practice <strong>is</strong> preserved, <strong>an</strong>d dilution <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> spiritual currents enlinked to each 'form' <strong>is</strong><br />

avoided.<br />

The correct <strong>an</strong>d practical use <strong>of</strong> each invocation <strong>is</strong> suitable for <strong>the</strong> ch<strong>an</strong>nelling <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> particular god-<br />

form's essence within <strong>the</strong> appropriate ritual framework. Th<strong>is</strong> framework must be shaped in<br />

accord<strong>an</strong>ce with <strong>the</strong> governing ritual ethos <strong>of</strong> that specific line <strong>of</strong> practice, <strong>an</strong>d formed in such a<br />

m<strong>an</strong>ner that allows <strong>the</strong> key points <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> invocation to open up <strong>the</strong> inner <strong>an</strong>d outer gates, leading to<br />

<strong>the</strong> blessings <strong>an</strong>d curses <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> god or goddess invoked.<br />

Leviath<strong>an</strong> - Dragon Lord <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Western Tower <strong>an</strong>d Throne<br />

broken <strong>the</strong> closed circle <strong>an</strong>d made <strong>the</strong> ten into eleven. Leviath<strong>an</strong> has by some been identified as a<br />

wrathful aspect <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Tad Ekam dragon-force mentioned in <strong>the</strong> Rig Veda <strong>an</strong>d personifies <strong>the</strong> ophitic<br />

m<strong>an</strong>ifestation <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> acosmic darkness <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> unformed Chaos.<br />

Leviath<strong>an</strong> <strong>is</strong> a powerful part <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> essence beyond <strong>the</strong> limited forms <strong>of</strong> that which has been<br />

m<strong>an</strong>ifested within <strong>the</strong> cosmos <strong>an</strong>d <strong>is</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>an</strong>ti<strong>the</strong>s<strong>is</strong> <strong>of</strong> all order, forms, laws <strong>an</strong>d restricting<br />

Beelzebuth – The Lord <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Eastern Throne<br />

Beelzebuth <strong>is</strong> <strong>the</strong> bringer <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> storm winds <strong>of</strong> evolution which destroy everything that does not<br />

bend to <strong>the</strong> Will <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Dark Gods. He <strong>is</strong> also <strong>the</strong> 'Hinderer' (Ghagiel) who, with h<strong>is</strong> d<strong>is</strong>solving<br />

currents, const<strong>an</strong>tly combats <strong>the</strong> constricting impulses <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> cosmos <strong>an</strong>d breaks <strong>the</strong> laws <strong>an</strong>d <strong>the</strong><br />

stagnating structures <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> sephirotic realm.<br />

Beelzebuth, who <strong>is</strong> also called The Lord <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Flies, <strong>is</strong> <strong>the</strong> kliffotic force that devours <strong>the</strong> corpses<br />

<strong>an</strong>d rotting shells <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> old <strong>an</strong>d conquered cosmic aeons <strong>an</strong>d leaves behind <strong>the</strong> pure emptiness that<br />

<strong>is</strong> <strong>the</strong> absence <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> formed <strong>an</strong>d restricted elements.<br />

Beelzebuth <strong>is</strong> also, within <strong>the</strong> Four <strong>Black</strong> Thrones system, <strong>the</strong> lord <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> kliffotic shadow <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />

mental pl<strong>an</strong>e, <strong>an</strong>d <strong>is</strong> <strong>the</strong>refore <strong>the</strong> monarch <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>an</strong>ti-cosmic world <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> unbound <strong>an</strong>d pure seed<br />

<strong>of</strong> Alogos. Before Beelzebuth's throne <strong>the</strong> winds <strong>of</strong> emptiness tear asunder all essence restricting<br />

forms, while elevating that which <strong>is</strong> truly <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> essence <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Acosmic Unborn Spirit to <strong>the</strong><br />

p<strong>an</strong>dimensional beyond that <strong>is</strong> Chaos.<br />

Beelzebuth <strong>is</strong>, according to <strong>the</strong> Sat<strong>an</strong>ic tradition, also <strong>the</strong> master <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Eastern Tower <strong>of</strong> Wrathful<br />

Chaos, whose gates are best opened on <strong>the</strong> 'Summer Solstice' (<strong>the</strong> 21st <strong>of</strong> June), when <strong>the</strong> dark<br />

currents <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Throne <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Fly are used to oppose <strong>the</strong> r<strong>is</strong>ing cosmic tides.<br />

The Sat<strong>an</strong><strong>is</strong>t faces <strong>the</strong> Tower <strong>of</strong> Nihilifer, which <strong>is</strong> <strong>the</strong> name <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Tower <strong>of</strong> Beelzebuth within <strong>the</strong><br />

esoteric tradition, during <strong>the</strong> black magical <strong>an</strong>d meditative work that has as its aim to bestow<br />

v<strong>is</strong>ions <strong>an</strong>d powers <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> dark beauty <strong>an</strong>d boundless might <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> immaculate purity <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />

Bohu/Nihil, which <strong>is</strong> <strong>the</strong> source <strong>of</strong> Beelzebuth's Spirit.<br />

33


The powers <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Nihilifer Tower c<strong>an</strong> also be used to erase <strong>an</strong>d d<strong>is</strong>solve <strong>the</strong> mental programming<br />

<strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> ego <strong>an</strong>d all <strong>the</strong> forced ethical <strong>an</strong>d moral limitations <strong>an</strong>d values that <strong>the</strong> archonic world <strong>of</strong> m<strong>an</strong><br />

has installed within <strong>the</strong> conscious mind <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> false 'self'. These kliffotic currents c<strong>an</strong> also be used to<br />

create indifference towards mund<strong>an</strong>e desires <strong>an</strong>d cravings <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> clay-born m<strong>an</strong>, <strong>an</strong>d c<strong>an</strong> create a<br />

fertile void in which <strong>the</strong> seed <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Shadow Self c<strong>an</strong> germinate.<br />

The ch<strong>an</strong>neling <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> black currents <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Nihilifer Tower <strong>is</strong> also part <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> process <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> killing<br />

<strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> causal ego <strong>an</strong>d <strong>the</strong> recreating <strong>of</strong> a more elevated, unbound <strong>an</strong>d strong consciousness that<br />

allows contact/interaction with <strong>the</strong> Acausal Self <strong>an</strong>d thus also makes possible <strong>the</strong> implementation <strong>of</strong><br />

<strong>the</strong> Sat<strong>an</strong>ic Will.<br />

The Nihilifer Tower <strong>is</strong> like a 'shadow' <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Chaosifer Tower <strong>an</strong>d represents <strong>the</strong> hungry <strong>an</strong>d eternal<br />

emptiness <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Void, <strong>the</strong> silence <strong>of</strong> Alogos, nothingness <strong>an</strong>d <strong>the</strong> most negative forms <strong>of</strong> <strong>an</strong>ti-<br />

ex<strong>is</strong>tence championed by <strong>the</strong> Wrathful Chaos.<br />

The rituals that have as <strong>the</strong>ir aim to ch<strong>an</strong>nel <strong>the</strong> black storm winds <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Nihilifer Tower <strong>an</strong>d <strong>the</strong><br />

Throne <strong>of</strong> Beelzebuth c<strong>an</strong> commence with <strong>the</strong> following short invocation:<br />

sc<strong>is</strong>sors represent her role as <strong>the</strong> castrator who takes away <strong>the</strong> sexual heat <strong>an</strong>d virility <strong>of</strong> those who<br />

reject her essence <strong>an</strong>d her amoral <strong>an</strong>d liberating impulses.<br />

In her middle right h<strong>an</strong>d she holds a h<strong>an</strong>ging noose made out <strong>of</strong> <strong>an</strong> umbilical cord. In th<strong>is</strong> noose a<br />

foetus or a very young child (less th<strong>an</strong> 6 month old) <strong>is</strong> h<strong>an</strong>ged by <strong>the</strong> neck. Th<strong>is</strong> represents Ama<br />

Lilith's connection to abortion, crib death, <strong>the</strong> stillborn <strong>an</strong>d barrenness in wom<strong>an</strong>. Once again <strong>the</strong>se<br />

<strong>an</strong>d her Webs <strong>of</strong> The <strong>Black</strong> Moon...<br />

In her lower right h<strong>an</strong>d she holds a torn out <strong>an</strong>d still beating, blood-dripping <strong>an</strong>d burning heart. Th<strong>is</strong><br />

heart <strong>is</strong> <strong>the</strong> symbol for all <strong>the</strong> passions that Ama Lilith controls, m<strong>an</strong>ipulates <strong>an</strong>d enflames. Th<strong>is</strong><br />

burning heart represents some <strong>of</strong> her blessings <strong>an</strong>d some <strong>of</strong> her curses <strong>an</strong>d <strong>is</strong> something that her<br />

devotees must receive <strong>an</strong>d later return to her as <strong>an</strong> <strong>of</strong>fering. The heart <strong>is</strong> also <strong>the</strong> place <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> temple<br />

dedicated to her worship <strong>an</strong>d <strong>the</strong> flames <strong>of</strong> love <strong>an</strong>d hate that burn within <strong>the</strong> heart blaze up for her<br />

through Ama Lilith!<br />

Her Three Left H<strong>an</strong>ds:<br />

In her upper left h<strong>an</strong>d she holds a c<strong>an</strong>dle or a torch burning with a black flame. Th<strong>is</strong> <strong>is</strong> her Flame <strong>of</strong><br />

W<strong>is</strong>dom <strong>an</strong>d Destruction. Through th<strong>is</strong> flame she enlightens without casting <strong>an</strong>y shadows <strong>an</strong>d bring<br />

destruction to <strong>the</strong> demiurgic lies that conceal Her Luciferi<strong>an</strong> Truth. The flame also represents <strong>the</strong><br />

power <strong>of</strong> Sat<strong>an</strong>-Lucifer that <strong>is</strong> m<strong>an</strong>ifested <strong>an</strong>d born through Ama Lilith. Th<strong>is</strong> black flame <strong>is</strong> a<br />

m<strong>an</strong>ifestation <strong>of</strong> The <strong>Black</strong> <strong>Light</strong> or <strong>the</strong> <strong>an</strong>ti-cosmic impulse <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> primal Chaos that has given<br />

birth to <strong>the</strong> whole Sitra Ahra <strong>an</strong>d with th<strong>is</strong> flame <strong>of</strong> that black light in her h<strong>an</strong>d Ama Lilith <strong>is</strong> The<br />

Queen <strong>of</strong> The Flames <strong>of</strong> Hell! The black flame <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> c<strong>an</strong>dle/torch <strong>is</strong> also connected to certain<br />

aspects <strong>of</strong> Daath as <strong>the</strong> gate to her womb <strong>an</strong>d represents m<strong>an</strong>y o<strong>the</strong>r aspects <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> hidden essence<br />

<strong>of</strong> her mysteries.<br />

initiation into her darkest mysteries or cause madness <strong>an</strong>d death to both soul <strong>an</strong>d spirit. Th<strong>is</strong> chalice<br />

<strong>is</strong> her 'Cup <strong>of</strong> Abominations' that carries within it <strong>the</strong> red <strong>an</strong>d <strong>the</strong> black wine <strong>of</strong> her fornication<br />

intermingled with <strong>the</strong> flaming seed <strong>of</strong> Samael. The chalice <strong>is</strong> also connected to <strong>the</strong> Dragon Force,<br />

<strong>the</strong> nightside astral realm <strong>an</strong>d <strong>the</strong> gate to Gamaliel. M<strong>an</strong>y o<strong>the</strong>r mysteries are connected to her cup<br />

<strong>an</strong>d will be revealed through initiation <strong>an</strong>d Ama Lilith's blessings...<br />

54


In her lower left h<strong>an</strong>d she holds <strong>the</strong> black fire serpent <strong>of</strong> forbidden knowledge <strong>an</strong>d w<strong>is</strong>dom. Th<strong>is</strong><br />

serpent represents Ama Lilith's ophitic forms <strong>an</strong>d powers but also her power <strong>an</strong>d control over <strong>the</strong><br />

'fallen serpent in m<strong>an</strong>'. Th<strong>is</strong> fire serpent <strong>is</strong> <strong>the</strong> same as Kaalshakti or Kundalini <strong>of</strong> Vedic traditions<br />

<strong>an</strong>d <strong>is</strong> <strong>the</strong> part <strong>of</strong> her power that burns within all her children. Th<strong>is</strong> serpent <strong>is</strong> <strong>the</strong> giver <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> fruits<br />

<strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Tree <strong>of</strong> Daath/Death <strong>an</strong>d <strong>is</strong> <strong>the</strong> power that when awakened through <strong>the</strong> blessing <strong>of</strong> Ama Lilith<br />

will reunite <strong>the</strong> black flames within with <strong>the</strong> black fires without <strong>an</strong>d make m<strong>an</strong> into one <strong>of</strong> '<strong>the</strong><br />

Serpents <strong>of</strong> Sitra Ahra'. As long as th<strong>is</strong> serpent <strong>is</strong> asleep m<strong>an</strong> will be in sefirotic bondage, but when<br />

<strong>the</strong> serpent <strong>is</strong> awakened m<strong>an</strong> will cast <strong>of</strong>f h<strong>is</strong> worldly shell <strong>an</strong>d r<strong>is</strong>e as a Dragon <strong>of</strong> Fire, ready to be<br />

reborn into <strong>the</strong> Nightside through <strong>the</strong> womb <strong>of</strong> Ama Lilith!<br />

Her Body:<br />

Ama Lilith's nude <strong>an</strong>d dragon winged body <strong>is</strong> corpse-pale. Her face <strong>is</strong> a formless shadow radiating<br />

luminous darkness. Her breast are round <strong>an</strong>d firm, overfilled with <strong>the</strong> nectar <strong>of</strong> her ophitic po<strong>is</strong>on.<br />

Her long jet black hair h<strong>an</strong>gs freely behind her shoulders down past her hips. From her Yoni flows<br />

her blessed blood (red or black?) <strong>an</strong>d creates a dark pool in front <strong>of</strong> her blood smeared feet. Within<br />

th<strong>is</strong> dark pool <strong>of</strong> blood <strong>the</strong> contour <strong>of</strong> Ama Lilith's beautiful body <strong>is</strong> reflected in <strong>the</strong> shape <strong>of</strong> <strong>an</strong><br />

inverted nine pointed star.<br />

Charge th<strong>is</strong> v<strong>is</strong>ion with all your forbidden lust <strong>an</strong>d your darkest desires <strong>an</strong>d when <strong>the</strong> moon <strong>is</strong> black<br />

release <strong>the</strong> collected heat <strong>of</strong> your passions into its form, which you must adore with your mind's<br />

eye. And through Her formulae invoke Ama Lilith into th<strong>is</strong> astral body <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> v<strong>is</strong>ion <strong>of</strong> her dark<br />

glory <strong>an</strong>d make it come to life! Then you c<strong>an</strong> worship The Faceless Goddess in th<strong>is</strong> form <strong>an</strong>d<br />

T<strong>an</strong>insam Lilith <strong>an</strong>d T<strong>an</strong>in'iver<br />

T<strong>an</strong>insam <strong>is</strong> <strong>the</strong> name <strong>of</strong> Ama Lilith (Dark Mo<strong>the</strong>r Lilith) in her dragon aspect or ophitic aspect.<br />

Under <strong>the</strong> name T<strong>an</strong>insam she <strong>is</strong> '<strong>the</strong> po<strong>is</strong>onous Dragon Serpent' <strong>an</strong>d <strong>is</strong> viewed as <strong>the</strong> most <strong>an</strong>cient<br />

m<strong>an</strong>ifestation <strong>of</strong> Lilith that <strong>is</strong> connected to The Mo<strong>the</strong>r <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Nightside/Sitra Ahra. The name<br />

T<strong>an</strong>insam connects her also to <strong>the</strong> Serpent <strong>of</strong> W<strong>is</strong>dom whose po<strong>is</strong>on burns away <strong>the</strong> illusions <strong>of</strong><br />

sephirotic ex<strong>is</strong>tence.<br />

T<strong>an</strong>in = Dragon/Crocodile/Serpent <strong>an</strong>d Sam (Persi<strong>an</strong> 'Sämm') = Po<strong>is</strong>on also identify her as <strong>the</strong><br />

female counterpart <strong>of</strong> Samael whose name me<strong>an</strong>s 'The Po<strong>is</strong>on <strong>of</strong> a God' or 'The God <strong>of</strong> Po<strong>is</strong>on',<br />

which <strong>is</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>the</strong> ophitic aspect <strong>of</strong> Sat<strong>an</strong>-Lucifer when m<strong>an</strong>ifested as The Serpent <strong>of</strong> The Tree <strong>of</strong><br />

Daath/Death. T<strong>an</strong>insam <strong>is</strong> Lilith in her dragon <strong>an</strong>d 'crone' aspect <strong>an</strong>d <strong>is</strong> <strong>the</strong> central power <strong>an</strong>d dark<br />

force called upon within kliffotic initiations. For it <strong>is</strong> her po<strong>is</strong>on that one has to drink in order to kill<br />

<strong>the</strong> 'dayside/sephirotic Ego' <strong>an</strong>d streng<strong>the</strong>n <strong>the</strong> Ahrim<strong>an</strong>ic/Sat<strong>an</strong>ic Shadow which <strong>is</strong> <strong>the</strong> Hidden Self.<br />

T<strong>an</strong>insam's po<strong>is</strong>on <strong>is</strong> <strong>the</strong> Elixir that kills that which <strong>is</strong> weak in order to make way for <strong>the</strong> forbidden<br />

truth, gnos<strong>is</strong> <strong>an</strong>d power <strong>of</strong> Sitra Ahra. The <strong>TOTBL</strong> views T<strong>an</strong>insam as The Bringer <strong>of</strong> Azerate<br />

Gnos<strong>is</strong>, which <strong>is</strong> <strong>the</strong> gnos<strong>is</strong> <strong>of</strong> The Elevenfold Wrathful Kaos.<br />

Contrary to some o<strong>the</strong>r traditions, <strong>the</strong> connection <strong>of</strong> Sämm or Sam/Samm <strong>an</strong>d blindness does not<br />

ex<strong>is</strong>t within our current. Some people have confused T<strong>an</strong>insam with 'T<strong>an</strong>in'iver' which <strong>is</strong> 'The Blind<br />

Serpent Force'. T<strong>an</strong>in'iver me<strong>an</strong>s Blind Dragon, but T<strong>an</strong>in-Sam me<strong>an</strong>s 'The Po<strong>is</strong>onous Dragon' <strong>an</strong>d<br />

<strong>is</strong> something else.<br />

T<strong>an</strong>in'iver <strong>is</strong> <strong>the</strong> Force that when fully awakened will unite T<strong>an</strong>insam-Lilith with Samael-Sat<strong>an</strong> <strong>an</strong>d<br />

bring forth <strong>the</strong> victory <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Nightside. Th<strong>is</strong> <strong>is</strong> what <strong>the</strong> YHVH w<strong>an</strong>ted to hinder by blinding <strong>the</strong><br />

Dragon with h<strong>is</strong> cosmic 'light'....<br />

Like <strong>the</strong> kundalini that lies coiled within <strong>the</strong> Muladhara-chakra, T<strong>an</strong>in'iver <strong>is</strong> also 'blinded' or<br />

'sleeping'. But when awakened <strong>an</strong>d empowered <strong>the</strong> Serpent <strong>of</strong> <strong>Black</strong> Fire, T<strong>an</strong>in'iver, ascends<br />

56


through <strong>the</strong> gates until h<strong>is</strong> eye opens in <strong>the</strong> Ajna sphere or gate (th<strong>is</strong> sphere <strong>is</strong> within our tradition<br />

called 'Abbadon', as <strong>the</strong> eye <strong>of</strong> The Destroyer <strong>is</strong> opened here). When <strong>the</strong> once blinded serpent's eye<br />

<strong>is</strong> opened through Gnos<strong>is</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Black</strong> <strong>Light</strong>, he (T<strong>an</strong>in'iver) unites Lilith below with Sat<strong>an</strong> above,<br />

concentrates <strong>the</strong> nightside forces <strong>an</strong>d thus m<strong>an</strong>ifests <strong>the</strong> kliffotic Samarasya that we call Azerate<br />

(The Eleven Headed Dragon).<br />

So T<strong>an</strong>insam <strong>an</strong>d T<strong>an</strong>in'iver are two different Powers that are both <strong>of</strong> great import<strong>an</strong>ce within The<br />

Great Work which aim to open <strong>the</strong> pathways within <strong>an</strong>d without to <strong>the</strong> <strong>Black</strong> <strong>Light</strong>.<br />

The V<strong>is</strong>ion <strong>of</strong> Naamah<br />

Naamah's symbolic form <strong>is</strong> <strong>of</strong>ten v<strong>is</strong>ualized as a sin<strong>is</strong>ter, lustful, cruel, domin<strong>an</strong>t, sexually<br />

attractive, beautiful, majestic <strong>an</strong>d demonic Princess <strong>of</strong> Darkness. She <strong>is</strong> <strong>of</strong>ten seen dressed in a<br />

bloody, red dress that reveals more th<strong>an</strong> what it conceals...<br />

Upon her head she wears a crown made out <strong>of</strong> black stone, with a Lap<strong>is</strong> Smaragdina set over <strong>the</strong><br />

place <strong>of</strong> her 'third eye.' She <strong>is</strong> <strong>of</strong>ten adorned with different jewellery <strong>an</strong>d necklaces that represent<br />

<strong>the</strong> luxury or richness connected to her chthonic realm. The <strong>Black</strong> Earth hides m<strong>an</strong>y treasures, <strong>an</strong>d<br />

jewels <strong>an</strong>d precious metals are <strong>of</strong>ten <strong>the</strong> exoteric symbols for those riches <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> underworld.<br />

Naamah's face <strong>is</strong> pale, with lips <strong>of</strong> blood red. Her eyes are black (like those <strong>of</strong> a shark) <strong>an</strong>d her very<br />

long hair <strong>is</strong> jet black. Often she m<strong>an</strong>ifests within certain settings in which one c<strong>an</strong> see her close to,<br />

<strong>an</strong>d sometimes riding, a seven-headed, black Serpent <strong>of</strong> Fire. O<strong>the</strong>r times th<strong>is</strong> seven-headed snake<br />

r<strong>is</strong>es out <strong>of</strong> her shadow cast upon <strong>the</strong> ground <strong>an</strong>d coils around her.<br />

Naamah <strong>is</strong> also The Weaver, so <strong>the</strong> tools <strong>of</strong> that art, like <strong>the</strong> Spinning Wheel, are m<strong>an</strong>y times seen<br />

within <strong>the</strong> v<strong>is</strong>ions <strong>of</strong> her m<strong>an</strong>ifested power. One c<strong>an</strong> see <strong>the</strong> silhouette <strong>of</strong> a spider upon <strong>the</strong> <strong>Black</strong><br />

Moon in <strong>the</strong> sky above her. With her left h<strong>an</strong>d she takes down <strong>the</strong> silken thread <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> great, black,<br />

Spider Moon <strong>an</strong>d binds it with her Spinning Wheel, in order to weave <strong>the</strong> threads <strong>of</strong> her dark spells.<br />

These threads she uses in her witchcraft, which c<strong>an</strong> both bind <strong>an</strong>d set loose <strong>the</strong> souls <strong>an</strong>d spirits <strong>of</strong><br />

m<strong>an</strong>.<br />

An arched gate, twined with thorny vine, or some o<strong>the</strong>r kind <strong>of</strong> doorway/portal c<strong>an</strong> be seen in <strong>the</strong><br />

background, <strong>an</strong>d upon <strong>the</strong> ground close to where she st<strong>an</strong>ds, one c<strong>an</strong> see small cracks out <strong>of</strong> which<br />

emerge black flames <strong>an</strong>d sin<strong>is</strong>ter shadows.<br />

Beneath her feet, upon <strong>the</strong> ground, one c<strong>an</strong> also see <strong>the</strong> crossed bones <strong>an</strong>d <strong>the</strong> cracked skulls <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />

dead, as a sign <strong>of</strong> her chthonic connections <strong>an</strong>d powers. Sometimes she <strong>is</strong> env<strong>is</strong>ioned drinking from<br />

a skull cup (hum<strong>an</strong> skull held upside down) <strong>an</strong>d that also represents her powers as <strong>the</strong> deathly<br />

initiatrix who, through <strong>the</strong> Death Gate towards <strong>the</strong> Sitra Ahra, gr<strong>an</strong>ts rebirth to her chosen<br />

followers.<br />

As one c<strong>an</strong> read within her Invocation, Naamah <strong>is</strong> also <strong>of</strong>ten env<strong>is</strong>ioned holding in her h<strong>an</strong>d/s m<strong>an</strong>y<br />

black threads (dripping blood?) that em<strong>an</strong>ate outwards from her in all directions. Th<strong>is</strong> <strong>is</strong> understood<br />

as a sign <strong>of</strong> her being <strong>the</strong> one 'pulling <strong>the</strong> strings' <strong>an</strong>d making <strong>the</strong> puppets d<strong>an</strong>ce... In that case, <strong>the</strong><br />

blood-filled skull cap <strong>is</strong> seen placed upon <strong>the</strong> Sigil <strong>of</strong> Nahemoth on <strong>the</strong> ground close to her feet.<br />

59


As Naamah <strong>is</strong> <strong>the</strong> 'Lovely' <strong>an</strong>d <strong>the</strong> 'Pleas<strong>an</strong>t One', she <strong>of</strong>ten m<strong>an</strong>ifests her essence in forms<br />

exoterically connect to <strong>the</strong> Queen <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Succubus, but her sub-lunar essence <strong>is</strong> more chthonic th<strong>an</strong><br />

sexual, <strong>an</strong>d her seductive smile <strong>of</strong>ten hides her cruel intentions.<br />

Naamah c<strong>an</strong> also be linked, in form, to <strong>the</strong> biblical v<strong>is</strong>ion <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Whore <strong>of</strong> Babylon (again as a<br />

v<strong>is</strong>ible <strong>an</strong>d m<strong>an</strong>ifested form <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> unm<strong>an</strong>ifested <strong>an</strong>d fluid essence <strong>of</strong> Ama Lilith). She <strong>is</strong> also<br />

known for her ench<strong>an</strong>ting singing voice, which has <strong>the</strong> power to make <strong>the</strong> stars <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> heavens fall,<br />

awaken <strong>the</strong> Spiritual Flame in her elect, <strong>an</strong>d drive m<strong>an</strong> (<strong>an</strong>d wom<strong>an</strong>) to madness <strong>an</strong>d monstrous<br />

crimes.<br />

In order to underst<strong>an</strong>d Naamah as <strong>the</strong> 'v<strong>is</strong>ible face <strong>of</strong> Lilith,' one must first underst<strong>an</strong>d Lilith's<br />

'facelessness' on m<strong>an</strong>y different levels, as it represents her ability to assume every aspect, form <strong>an</strong>d<br />

power she w<strong>is</strong>hes. Lilith's m<strong>an</strong>ifestations are fluid, like <strong>the</strong> lunar element that she rules over, <strong>an</strong>d<br />

her masks shift like <strong>the</strong> 'thous<strong>an</strong>d faces <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> moon.' Because <strong>of</strong> th<strong>is</strong>, Lilith's m<strong>an</strong>ifestations,<br />

powers, <strong>an</strong>d attributes are more surreal<strong>is</strong>tic <strong>an</strong>d bizarre th<strong>an</strong> those <strong>of</strong> Naamah.<br />

Naamah <strong>is</strong> much more concrete in her m<strong>an</strong>ifestations <strong>an</strong>d <strong>the</strong>refore easier to underst<strong>an</strong>d <strong>an</strong>d grasp<br />

th<strong>an</strong> Lilith, who <strong>is</strong> beyond causal underst<strong>an</strong>ding. But in order to really underst<strong>an</strong>d what we me<strong>an</strong> by<br />

saying that Naamah <strong>is</strong> <strong>the</strong> 'v<strong>is</strong>ible face <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> faceless queen', <strong>the</strong> differences between <strong>the</strong> spheres <strong>of</strong><br />

dreams <strong>an</strong>d <strong>the</strong> sphere <strong>of</strong> m<strong>an</strong>ifestation must be fully understood.<br />

The e<strong>the</strong>real power <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Lunar Gamaliel becomes focused, firm, but also somewhat limited, in<br />

Nahemoth. That which <strong>is</strong> unbound by static form in <strong>the</strong> realm <strong>of</strong> surreal<strong>is</strong>tic Nightmares takes a<br />

more graspable (but not fully static) form in Nahemoth. The astral kliffot thus descends, through<br />

Naamah, into <strong>the</strong> realm <strong>of</strong> kliffotic m<strong>an</strong>ifestation (Nahemoth). And because <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> connection<br />

between Nahemoth <strong>an</strong>d Malkut (<strong>the</strong> ent<strong>an</strong>gled roots <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> two trees) it <strong>is</strong> Naamah who <strong>is</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />

m<strong>is</strong>tress <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Earth Gates leading to <strong>the</strong> Nightside.<br />

All <strong>the</strong> different aspects <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> V<strong>is</strong>ion <strong>of</strong> Naamah are symbolic representations <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> diverse powers<br />

<strong>an</strong>d attributes connected to her, so when one brings all <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>m toge<strong>the</strong>r, a focused 'point <strong>of</strong><br />

sympathy' (<strong>an</strong>d ingress) that attracts <strong>the</strong> essence it <strong>is</strong> in harmony with, <strong>is</strong> created, consecrated <strong>an</strong>d<br />

opened.<br />

The V<strong>is</strong>ion <strong>of</strong> Naamah <strong>the</strong>n becomes a 'Holy Eidolon'/Astral Idol (spiritual effigy/fet<strong>is</strong>h), connected<br />

to <strong>the</strong> 218 Current, <strong>an</strong>d constructed to become both a dwelling place for <strong>the</strong> evoked power <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />

Nehemotic M<strong>is</strong>tress as well as a gate to her kliffotic realm.<br />

Hail Naamah Nahemoth Nahema!<br />

Arachnidia Lilith, Spidergoddess <strong>of</strong> Sitra Ahra<br />

One <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> m<strong>an</strong>y secret aspects <strong>of</strong> Lilith within <strong>the</strong> 218 Current <strong>is</strong> Arachnidia Lilith, also known as<br />

Akkawb<strong>is</strong>hia Lilith. Th<strong>is</strong> aspect <strong>is</strong> a zoomorphic m<strong>an</strong>ifestation <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Mo<strong>the</strong>r <strong>of</strong> All Demons <strong>an</strong>d<br />

embodies m<strong>an</strong>y <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> most feared attributes <strong>an</strong>d powers that within <strong>the</strong> kliffotic cabbala are<br />

ascribed to Lilith <strong>an</strong>d her <strong>Black</strong> Moon sphere <strong>of</strong> Gamaliel.<br />

Arachnidia Lilith <strong>is</strong> <strong>an</strong> esoteric development <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> six-armed aspect <strong>of</strong> Ama Lilith, that in m<strong>an</strong>y<br />

ways <strong>is</strong> one <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> most elevated <strong>an</strong>d powerful personifications <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> goddess <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> kliffot. Lilith<br />

<strong>is</strong>, in her zoomorphic m<strong>an</strong>ifestation as <strong>the</strong> spidergoddess, associated with <strong>the</strong> darkest <strong>an</strong>d most<br />

unlawful mysteries <strong>of</strong> Gamaliel <strong>an</strong>d governs <strong>the</strong> black magic connected to <strong>the</strong> highest forms <strong>of</strong><br />

vampir<strong>is</strong>m, <strong>the</strong> creating <strong>an</strong>d sending <strong>of</strong> nightmares, <strong>the</strong> esoteric <strong>an</strong>d soul str<strong>an</strong>gling forms <strong>of</strong><br />

ligature, <strong>the</strong> climbing <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> hidden web that ties toge<strong>the</strong>r <strong>an</strong>d connects all <strong>the</strong> kliffotic spheres, <strong>the</strong><br />

most adv<strong>an</strong>ced forms <strong>of</strong> shapeshifting <strong>an</strong>d lyc<strong>an</strong>thropy, <strong>the</strong> <strong>an</strong>imation <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> shells <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> dead, <strong>the</strong><br />

gaining <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Zachalilim Famulus <strong>an</strong>d <strong>the</strong> esoteric techniques for <strong>the</strong> m<strong>an</strong>ipulation <strong>an</strong>d control <strong>of</strong><br />

<strong>the</strong> astral currents.<br />

Arachnidia <strong>is</strong> according to tradition associated with nooses, adv<strong>an</strong>ced forms <strong>of</strong> cord <strong>an</strong>d knot<br />

magic, <strong>the</strong> ensnaring <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> shadows <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> living, <strong>an</strong>d murder through h<strong>an</strong>ging <strong>an</strong>d str<strong>an</strong>gulation.<br />

Amongst <strong>the</strong> countless shadows that serve her, <strong>the</strong>re <strong>is</strong> also a special group that cons<strong>is</strong>ts <strong>of</strong> murder<br />

victims, murderers <strong>an</strong>d suicides that have died by <strong>the</strong> str<strong>an</strong>gler's cord or <strong>the</strong> h<strong>an</strong>gm<strong>an</strong>'s noose. Th<strong>is</strong><br />

spider aspect <strong>of</strong> Lilith <strong>is</strong> <strong>the</strong>refore called upon within certain dark rites that have as <strong>the</strong>ir aim to tie<br />

<strong>of</strong>f <strong>an</strong>d str<strong>an</strong>gle <strong>the</strong> supply <strong>of</strong> life force to <strong>the</strong> enemy <strong>an</strong>d thus, in a very slow <strong>an</strong>d painful fashion,<br />

take h<strong>is</strong>/her life, redirecting it towards <strong>the</strong> ever hungry <strong>an</strong>d gaping jaws <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> kliffot.<br />

Naamah, who <strong>is</strong> <strong>the</strong> 'Younger Lilith' or <strong>the</strong> M<strong>is</strong>tress <strong>of</strong> Nahemoth, <strong>is</strong> according to tradition <strong>the</strong><br />

goddess <strong>of</strong> weaving. It <strong>is</strong> <strong>the</strong>refore interesting to note that <strong>the</strong> 'Elder Lilith' once again elevates <strong>the</strong><br />

attributes <strong>an</strong>d powers <strong>of</strong> Naamah to a much more abstract <strong>an</strong>d higher level, th<strong>is</strong> time by assuming<br />

<strong>the</strong> form <strong>of</strong> Arachnidia/Akkawb<strong>is</strong>hia Lilith, who in her spider form <strong>is</strong> <strong>the</strong> most perfectly skilled <strong>an</strong>d<br />

masterful weaver <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>m all.<br />

The spider has within m<strong>an</strong>y old traditions acted as <strong>the</strong> foremost totemic <strong>an</strong>imal <strong>of</strong> both <strong>the</strong> moon<br />

<strong>an</strong>d its goddess, <strong>an</strong>d similar to m<strong>an</strong>y <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>se <strong>an</strong>cient traditions <strong>the</strong> spiders within <strong>the</strong> kliffotic cultus<br />

are held as <strong>the</strong> sacred <strong>an</strong>imals <strong>of</strong> Arachnidia Lilith, <strong>an</strong>d it <strong>is</strong> <strong>the</strong>refore strictly taboo to intentionally<br />

hurt or kill <strong>the</strong>m. On those occasions when dead spiders are needed for some <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> rites <strong>of</strong><br />

61


Arachnidia Lilith, for example <strong>the</strong> evocation <strong>of</strong> her spider-demons, one must always ask for, <strong>an</strong>d<br />

<strong>the</strong>n through Her blessings, find <strong>an</strong> already dead spider to use within <strong>the</strong> ritual working.<br />

When <strong>the</strong> moon <strong>is</strong> within its w<strong>an</strong>ing phase, <strong>an</strong>d especially during <strong>the</strong> three nights before <strong>the</strong> Dark<br />

Moon, <strong>the</strong> pale lunar rays c<strong>an</strong>, by <strong>the</strong> skillful magici<strong>an</strong>, be tied to <strong>an</strong>d used as a tool to ch<strong>an</strong>nel <strong>an</strong>d<br />

m<strong>an</strong>ifest <strong>the</strong> dark silken web <strong>of</strong> Arachnidia, which has <strong>the</strong> power to both bind <strong>an</strong>d extract/draw<br />

power from <strong>the</strong> living <strong>an</strong>d <strong>the</strong> dead alike. Because <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> relev<strong>an</strong>t symbol<strong>is</strong>m involved, black silken<br />

threads are <strong>of</strong>ten used within m<strong>an</strong>y <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> rites <strong>of</strong> Arachnidia Lilith <strong>an</strong>d c<strong>an</strong> in <strong>the</strong> h<strong>an</strong>ds <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />

initiated devotee, <strong>an</strong>d by <strong>the</strong> grace <strong>of</strong> Lilith herself, be used both to create <strong>the</strong> magical nooses that<br />

are needed within certain dark workings, <strong>an</strong>d to weave <strong>the</strong> ent<strong>an</strong>gled gates to Her astral web within<br />

<strong>the</strong> kliffot, that one c<strong>an</strong> only enter by assuming <strong>the</strong> shape <strong>of</strong> her Arachnid Spawn (i.e. by becoming<br />

a 'Werespider').<br />

Within <strong>the</strong> hidden parts <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> sphere <strong>of</strong> Gamaliel that are under <strong>the</strong> dominion <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Arachnidia<br />

Lilith aspect, all <strong>the</strong> obscure paths, webs <strong>an</strong>d threads are governed by <strong>the</strong> spider demons called <strong>the</strong><br />

'Zachalilim'. These arachnid Lilim (spawn <strong>of</strong> Lilith) are, according to <strong>the</strong> hidden lore <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> dark<br />

cultus, created by <strong>the</strong> same 'fallen seed' that makes <strong>the</strong> most potent roots <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> M<strong>an</strong>dragora grow<br />

within <strong>the</strong> dark earth... Th<strong>is</strong> special 'seed' <strong>is</strong> used by <strong>the</strong> fertile spidergoddess to inseminate her own<br />

eggs, which later give birth to her feared <strong>an</strong>d mighty Zachalilim, who all carry within <strong>the</strong>mselves<br />

portions <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> limitless powers <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>ir mo<strong>the</strong>r.<br />

Similar to <strong>the</strong> spiders <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>an</strong>imal kingdom, Lilith <strong>an</strong>d her spider Lilim also catch <strong>an</strong>d trap <strong>the</strong>ir<br />

victims through <strong>the</strong> dark web that she <strong>is</strong> const<strong>an</strong>tly weaving across all <strong>the</strong> kliffot on <strong>the</strong> Tree <strong>of</strong><br />

Death. The prey caught within her threads <strong>of</strong> death <strong>is</strong> first wrapped (mummified) by her shadow<br />

web <strong>an</strong>d later slowly emptied <strong>of</strong> all vital fluids, until only a dry husk <strong>is</strong> left. Th<strong>is</strong> hard <strong>an</strong>d empty<br />

husk, which in th<strong>is</strong> case <strong>is</strong> <strong>the</strong> shadow <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> dead, <strong>is</strong> <strong>the</strong>n re-<strong>an</strong>imated by <strong>the</strong> Dark Mo<strong>the</strong>r, through<br />

<strong>the</strong> infusion <strong>of</strong> her kliffotic 'shadow matter' into its shell, <strong>an</strong>d <strong>the</strong> shadow becomes thus a new<br />

addition <strong>of</strong> power that streng<strong>the</strong>ns her vampiric legions.<br />

The principal realm <strong>of</strong> Arachnidia Lilith <strong>is</strong> <strong>of</strong> course within <strong>the</strong> <strong>Black</strong> Luna/Gamaliel, but her webs<br />

<strong>an</strong>d threads form hidden pathways between all spheres upon <strong>the</strong> Tree <strong>of</strong> <strong>Black</strong> <strong>Light</strong>/Tree <strong>of</strong> Death.<br />

She c<strong>an</strong> <strong>the</strong>refore be understood as a dark beating heart that pumps life force, stolen from <strong>the</strong><br />

worlds <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> sephiroth, into all <strong>the</strong> black holes <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> kliffot. These mysteries are <strong>the</strong>refore also<br />

related to a special <strong>an</strong>d secret form <strong>of</strong> 'climbing <strong>the</strong> tree' through <strong>the</strong> use <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> hidden threads <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />

web <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> spidergoddess that become v<strong>is</strong>ible to <strong>the</strong> magici<strong>an</strong> after he/she has first learnt to master<br />

<strong>the</strong> powers <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Zachalilim. It <strong>is</strong> only through <strong>the</strong> blessings <strong>of</strong> Arachnidia/Akkawb<strong>is</strong>hia Lilith <strong>an</strong>d<br />

62


<strong>the</strong> true initiation into her forbidden arachnid magic that <strong>the</strong> 'crossing <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> abyss within <strong>the</strong> abyss'<br />

becomes possible, through <strong>the</strong> weaving <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> black threads <strong>of</strong> Thoughtless <strong>Light</strong> that c<strong>an</strong> bridge<br />

over <strong>the</strong> Throne <strong>of</strong> Choronzon.<br />

The magici<strong>an</strong> devoted to <strong>the</strong> forces <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Black</strong> <strong>Light</strong> should try to approach <strong>the</strong>se mysteries after a<br />

strong <strong>an</strong>d concrete contact has been establ<strong>is</strong>hed with <strong>the</strong> more v<strong>is</strong>ible aspects <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Faceless<br />

Goddess, for it <strong>is</strong> through <strong>the</strong> more known <strong>an</strong>d approachable m<strong>an</strong>ifestations <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> kliffotic goddess<br />

that <strong>the</strong> keys to <strong>the</strong> gates <strong>of</strong> her most hidden aspects c<strong>an</strong> be gained.<br />

Amongst <strong>the</strong> most potent m<strong>an</strong>ifested keys that within <strong>the</strong> 218 Current are presented to those who<br />

are w<strong>is</strong>e, brave or just stupid enough to dare to approach <strong>the</strong> fearful essence <strong>of</strong> Akkawb<strong>is</strong>hia Lilith<br />

<strong>an</strong>d her Zachalilim, are her formula <strong>an</strong>d her esoteric sigil.<br />

The formula <strong>of</strong> Arachnidia <strong>is</strong> used during all contemplative, meditative, invocative, evocative <strong>an</strong>d<br />

astral rites, <strong>an</strong>d also for all o<strong>the</strong>r forms <strong>of</strong> spiritual practice that have as <strong>the</strong>ir aim to create a link<br />

between <strong>the</strong> magici<strong>an</strong> <strong>an</strong>d <strong>the</strong> spidergoddess <strong>of</strong> Sitra Ahra. The true me<strong>an</strong>ing <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> formula must be<br />

understood by <strong>the</strong> heart <strong>an</strong>d not by <strong>the</strong> mind. It <strong>is</strong> <strong>the</strong>refore not me<strong>an</strong>ingful to focus upon <strong>an</strong>d obsess<br />

about its separate parts. The true devotee <strong>of</strong> Lilith <strong>is</strong> instead encouraged to view <strong>an</strong>d underst<strong>an</strong>d <strong>the</strong><br />

whole <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> formula as one sonic sigil which has already been used by o<strong>the</strong>r adepts to open <strong>the</strong><br />

locked gates to <strong>the</strong> forbidden revelations <strong>of</strong> Arachnidia Lilith <strong>an</strong>d to her blessing, liberating <strong>an</strong>d<br />

destroying powers.<br />

The following <strong>is</strong> <strong>the</strong> m<strong>an</strong>tra/formula <strong>of</strong> Arachnidia Lilith:<br />

Arachnidia Lilith Shemamithilil Akkawb<strong>is</strong>hia Zachalayla!<br />

If <strong>the</strong> Arachnidia formula <strong>is</strong> <strong>the</strong> key to <strong>the</strong> <strong>Black</strong> <strong>Light</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> spidergoddess, <strong>the</strong>n her sigil c<strong>an</strong> be<br />

described as <strong>the</strong> very gate to her nightmar<strong>is</strong>h essence. The sigil <strong>of</strong> Arachnidia Lilith st<strong>an</strong>ds out in<br />

m<strong>an</strong>y ways when compared to <strong>the</strong> o<strong>the</strong>r sigils <strong>an</strong>d symbols that are used within our tradition in<br />

order to establ<strong>is</strong>h contact with Ama Lilith, <strong>an</strong>d it c<strong>an</strong>, for those blessed with <strong>the</strong> gift <strong>of</strong> sight, paint a<br />

very revealing picture <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> o<strong>the</strong>rw<strong>is</strong>e unfathomable power <strong>an</strong>d spirit <strong>of</strong> Arachnidia Lilith.<br />

The sigil <strong>is</strong> both a gate to <strong>the</strong> goddess <strong>an</strong>d to her kingdom <strong>an</strong>d acts as a focal point in m<strong>an</strong>y <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />

workings that are done in <strong>the</strong> name <strong>of</strong> Arachnidia, or are o<strong>the</strong>rw<strong>is</strong>e connected to <strong>the</strong> ch<strong>an</strong>neling <strong>of</strong><br />

her powers. The sigil c<strong>an</strong> be used in m<strong>an</strong>y different ways. For example, it c<strong>an</strong> be painted with <strong>the</strong><br />

lunar blood or o<strong>the</strong>r sacred 'ink' upon <strong>the</strong> surface <strong>of</strong> a mirror, on a consecrated parchment, on <strong>the</strong><br />

wall <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> temple, on a sheet <strong>of</strong> silken cloth or directly on <strong>the</strong> floor in order to work with it as a<br />

esoteric sigil that has been colored with <strong>the</strong> appropriate sacrificial elixirs <strong>of</strong> life <strong>an</strong>d death. To <strong>the</strong><br />

right <strong>an</strong>d left sides <strong>of</strong> th<strong>is</strong> stele, black c<strong>an</strong>dles inscribed with her formula <strong>an</strong>d <strong>an</strong>ointed with lunar<br />

The Womb Sigil <strong>of</strong> Isheth Zenunim<br />

The Womb Sigil <strong>of</strong> Isheth Zenunim <strong>is</strong> tw<strong>of</strong>old in its power, function <strong>an</strong>d essence; it <strong>is</strong> both a gate<br />

leading towards <strong>the</strong> inner mysteries <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Black</strong> Moon Goddess, <strong>an</strong>d a point <strong>of</strong> entr<strong>an</strong>ce from Sitra<br />

Ahra into Yesod <strong>an</strong>d Malkuth, through which her Lilim <strong>an</strong>d o<strong>the</strong>r hell-spawn are called forth.<br />

The Sigil itself <strong>is</strong> a symbol for <strong>the</strong> Isheth Zenunim aspect <strong>of</strong> Lilith <strong>an</strong>d <strong>the</strong> <strong>an</strong>gels <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Black</strong><br />

Moon who are evoked through it are her 'h<strong>an</strong>dmaidens' -- <strong>the</strong> Succumbus/Incubus <strong>an</strong>d o<strong>the</strong>r<br />

The Womb Sigil <strong>of</strong> Isheth Zenunim <strong>is</strong> thus a symbol that c<strong>an</strong> be utilized to conjure <strong>the</strong> presence <strong>of</strong><br />

<strong>the</strong> infernal concubines who gr<strong>an</strong>t initiation <strong>an</strong>d insight into <strong>the</strong> esoteric aspects <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> vampyric<br />

alchemy <strong>of</strong> Gamaliel. In th<strong>is</strong> context, <strong>the</strong> Sigil <strong>is</strong> used as a focal point through which sexual<br />

energies are projected into <strong>the</strong> fertile darkness <strong>of</strong> Gamaliel.<br />

The Womb Sigil <strong>is</strong> also a gate to <strong>the</strong> realm <strong>of</strong> nightmares <strong>an</strong>d acts as a black mirror into which <strong>the</strong><br />

hidden desires c<strong>an</strong> be projected, empowered <strong>an</strong>d made m<strong>an</strong>ifest. Through a well-seeded mirror <strong>of</strong><br />

faith, desire <strong>an</strong>d will, ph<strong>an</strong>tasms <strong>an</strong>d shades <strong>of</strong> great strength c<strong>an</strong> be called forth <strong>an</strong>d sent out to<br />

create ch<strong>an</strong>ges in accord<strong>an</strong>ce to <strong>the</strong>ir nature <strong>an</strong>d essence.<br />

Th<strong>is</strong> Sigil <strong>is</strong> opened in <strong>the</strong> name <strong>of</strong> Ama Lilith, <strong>an</strong>d entered in <strong>the</strong> name <strong>of</strong> Isheth Zenunim. Isheth<br />

Zenunim <strong>is</strong> <strong>the</strong> one that receives those who seek to penetrate <strong>the</strong> obscene mysteries <strong>of</strong> Gamaliel,<br />

while Ama Lilith <strong>is</strong> <strong>the</strong> birthing mo<strong>the</strong>r who sends forth her spawn through <strong>the</strong> open gate <strong>of</strong> her<br />

w<strong>an</strong>ton <strong>an</strong>d ever-hungry womb.<br />

When, within <strong>the</strong> context <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> oneiric rites <strong>of</strong> union, one enters through <strong>the</strong> Womb Sigil, it leads to<br />

<strong>the</strong> shadowy plains <strong>of</strong> Gamaliel <strong>an</strong>d aids <strong>the</strong> astral tr<strong>an</strong>sformation <strong>an</strong>d lyc<strong>an</strong>thropic atav<strong>is</strong>m needed<br />

moon <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> sigil <strong>is</strong> linked to <strong>the</strong> essence <strong>of</strong> that which <strong>is</strong> called upon. Th<strong>is</strong> linkage c<strong>an</strong> be created<br />

* Kagiri Ushumgal<br />

The following texts are from <strong>the</strong> forthcoming book, Kagiri Ushumgal (The Path <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Dragon), <strong>an</strong>d<br />

present certain aspects <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> 218 Current as expressed through <strong>the</strong> Babyloni<strong>an</strong> 'forms' that are<br />

relev<strong>an</strong>t to our own Tradition's form <strong>of</strong> <strong>an</strong>ti-cosmic Gnostic<strong>is</strong>m.<br />

Within th<strong>is</strong> context, it <strong>is</strong> not our intent to reconstruct what o<strong>the</strong>rs might call a 'h<strong>is</strong>torically au<strong>the</strong>ntic'<br />

form <strong>of</strong> Babyloni<strong>an</strong> pag<strong>an</strong><strong>is</strong>m. Our goal <strong>is</strong> instead to reshape <strong>an</strong>d reinterpret <strong>the</strong> Sumero-<br />

Babyloni<strong>an</strong> 'forms' that have been chosen, in accord<strong>an</strong>ce with <strong>the</strong> adversarial strategy <strong>of</strong> our own<br />

Tradition, as suitable vehicles for <strong>the</strong> expression <strong>of</strong> our Current-specific gnos<strong>is</strong>.<br />

The workings <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Kagiri Ushumgal are based upon <strong>the</strong> Chaosophic Cult <strong>of</strong> Tiamat, whose main<br />

focus <strong>is</strong> <strong>the</strong> em<strong>an</strong>ations <strong>of</strong> Her Eleven Champions <strong>of</strong> Chaos which are represented, within th<strong>is</strong> line<br />

<strong>of</strong> practice as well as <strong>the</strong> parallel Kliffotic line, by <strong>the</strong> word, number <strong>an</strong>d sigil <strong>of</strong> AZERATE.<br />

AZERATE <strong>is</strong> thus <strong>the</strong> formulaic 'bridge' <strong>an</strong>d point <strong>of</strong> intersection between <strong>the</strong> Sumero-Babyloni<strong>an</strong><br />

<strong>an</strong>d Kliffotic paths <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> 218 Current. At <strong>the</strong> centre <strong>of</strong> th<strong>is</strong> crossroad <strong>of</strong> parallel lines <strong>of</strong> practice<br />

burns a concealed <strong>Black</strong> Fire <strong>of</strong> Gnos<strong>is</strong> - a fire that will illuminate <strong>the</strong> path <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Elect, <strong>an</strong>d bring<br />

confusion <strong>an</strong>d torment to those unfit to walk <strong>the</strong> Path <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Dragon.<br />

Tiamat, Mo<strong>the</strong>r <strong>of</strong> Chaos, awoke from her slumber <strong>an</strong>d was filled with hatred.<br />

D<strong>is</strong>gusted, <strong>the</strong>y looked down upon <strong>the</strong> new gods.<br />

With hateful eyes <strong>the</strong>y beheld how <strong>the</strong> bastard gods procreated.<br />

Th<strong>is</strong> dejected Mo<strong>the</strong>r Tiamat, <strong>an</strong>d filled fa<strong>the</strong>r Absu with vengeful lust.<br />

Not even Egura, <strong>the</strong> black water <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Abyss,<br />

could silence <strong>the</strong> cheerful laughter <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> bastard gods.<br />

Not even <strong>the</strong> m<strong>is</strong>t <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> depths could conceal <strong>the</strong> presence <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> new gods.<br />

Their behavior became abhorrent to <strong>the</strong> Fa<strong>the</strong>r <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Depths,<br />

<strong>an</strong>d Absu stormed, filled with hatred.<br />

In h<strong>is</strong> wrath, he turned to <strong>the</strong> Chaos Dragon, Tiamat, <strong>an</strong>d said:<br />

"The acts <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> bastard gods are repulsive to me,<br />

for I c<strong>an</strong> no longer find <strong>an</strong>y rest nor sleep in <strong>the</strong> darkness.<br />

I shall destroy, I shall <strong>an</strong>nihilate, I shall ruin <strong>the</strong>ir acts,<br />

so that <strong>the</strong> purity <strong>of</strong> Chaos may be reinstated,<br />

so that we once again c<strong>an</strong> dream <strong>the</strong> darkest <strong>of</strong> dreams."<br />

When Tiamat heard <strong>the</strong>se words, she was filled with joy<br />

<strong>an</strong>d screamed to her husb<strong>an</strong>d:<br />

"Destroy those created from my dreams, for <strong>the</strong>ir actions are repugn<strong>an</strong>t to me.<br />

Exterminate <strong>the</strong>se rebellious gods, my spouse,<br />

<strong>an</strong>d you shall again, in my embrace, dream <strong>the</strong> dark dreams <strong>of</strong> might."<br />

71


When Absu heard th<strong>is</strong>,<br />

h<strong>is</strong> face radiated from <strong>the</strong> evil he had in mind for <strong>the</strong> bastard gods,<br />

h<strong>is</strong> own d<strong>is</strong>gusting spawn.<br />

When <strong>the</strong> new gods saw <strong>the</strong> halo <strong>of</strong> hatred surrounding <strong>the</strong>ir fa<strong>the</strong>r, Absu,<br />

<strong>the</strong>y were filled with fright.<br />

The bastard gods fled to Enki, who was <strong>the</strong>ir king, <strong>an</strong>d explained to him:<br />

"The Abyss <strong>is</strong> ready for war, <strong>an</strong>d <strong>the</strong> almighty Chaos Dragon<br />

<strong>is</strong> reciting <strong>the</strong> curses <strong>of</strong> venge<strong>an</strong>ce."<br />

Enki heard th<strong>is</strong> <strong>an</strong>d was filled with fear,<br />

but he who was <strong>the</strong> most cowardly <strong>an</strong>d surreptitious<br />

<strong>of</strong> all <strong>the</strong> bastard gods, said to h<strong>is</strong> serv<strong>an</strong>ts:<br />

"Let us po<strong>is</strong>on <strong>the</strong> waters <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> depths <strong>an</strong>d if <strong>the</strong> strength <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Abyss<br />

lies in <strong>the</strong> darkness, let us <strong>the</strong>n bring our light to <strong>the</strong> darkness,<br />

so that we may blind our fa<strong>the</strong>r, Absu.<br />

Let us through our collective efforts destroy him,<br />

for Absu <strong>is</strong> proud <strong>an</strong>d does not expect cowardice.<br />

Let us ambush him <strong>an</strong>d, with our magic, lower Absu into <strong>the</strong> water <strong>of</strong> death,<br />

so that he may everlastingly dream <strong>the</strong> dreams <strong>of</strong> death."<br />

Absu, Fa<strong>the</strong>r <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Depths, rose from <strong>the</strong> Abyss<br />

<strong>an</strong>d prepared himself for battle,<br />

but <strong>the</strong> cowardly gods blinded him with false light <strong>an</strong>d po<strong>is</strong>oned h<strong>is</strong> water.<br />

They attacked Absu <strong>an</strong>d, with <strong>the</strong>ir magic, <strong>the</strong>y put him in death's sleep.<br />

The revolting bastard gods were filled with joy,<br />

<strong>an</strong>d in pure ecstasy, <strong>the</strong>y copulated in order to create new life.<br />

In th<strong>is</strong> way, <strong>the</strong> gods <strong>of</strong> light celebrated <strong>the</strong>ir deceitful victory,<br />

<strong>an</strong>d <strong>the</strong> king <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> bastard gods, <strong>the</strong> cowardly Enki, said to h<strong>is</strong> serv<strong>an</strong>ts:<br />

"Let us build a temple, <strong>an</strong>d to desecrate <strong>the</strong> name <strong>of</strong> our dead fa<strong>the</strong>r, name it Absu.<br />

Let us in th<strong>is</strong> temple create more life that will counteract Chaos."<br />

When <strong>the</strong> o<strong>the</strong>r gods heard th<strong>is</strong>, <strong>the</strong>y were filled with loathsome joy.<br />

And on <strong>the</strong> ground where <strong>the</strong>y had defeated Absu with <strong>the</strong>ir cowardly attack,<br />

<strong>the</strong>y built a temple.<br />

To desecrate Chaos, <strong>the</strong>y named it Absu.<br />

72


Inside <strong>the</strong> temple Absu, Enki copulated with h<strong>is</strong> filthy whore, Damkina.<br />

Inside <strong>the</strong> temple Absu, Marduk was spawned forth,<br />

son <strong>of</strong> Enki, son <strong>of</strong> Damkina.<br />

From <strong>the</strong> whore Damkina's womb, Marduk was born,<br />

<strong>an</strong>d all <strong>the</strong> gods <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> light gr<strong>an</strong>ted gifts to Marduk.<br />

All <strong>the</strong> bastard gods <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> light gave <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>ir own powers to Marduk.<br />

Marduk became <strong>the</strong> most powerful <strong>of</strong> all <strong>the</strong> bastard gods,<br />

just as cowardly <strong>an</strong>d clever as h<strong>is</strong> deceitful fa<strong>the</strong>r, Enki.<br />

The mighty Tiamat, Mo<strong>the</strong>r <strong>of</strong> Chaos,<br />

Mo<strong>the</strong>r Tiamat, <strong>the</strong> Chaos Dragon,<br />

filled with rage <strong>an</strong>d filled with hatred, arose from <strong>the</strong> darkness,<br />

<strong>an</strong>d her haunting screams were heard in <strong>the</strong> depths <strong>an</strong>d in <strong>the</strong> darkness.<br />

The screams <strong>of</strong> Tiamat were heard in Nar Mattaru,<br />

<strong>an</strong>d her screams were like a storm, whipping all souls,<br />

except her sworn, who stayed in Da-Ra-Es Ku-Kuga Bar Sheg.<br />

Out from Da-Ra-Es Ku-Kuga Bar-Sheg's darkest caves,<br />

<strong>the</strong> Spirit <strong>of</strong> Venge<strong>an</strong>ce approached Tiamat, <strong>an</strong>d said to her:<br />

"Your spouse was killed by <strong>the</strong> cowardly bastard gods,<br />

Absu was killed by <strong>the</strong> abominable bastard gods.<br />

In <strong>the</strong>ir deceitful ways <strong>the</strong>y have killed our fa<strong>the</strong>r,<br />

<strong>an</strong>d desecrated <strong>the</strong> darkness <strong>of</strong> Chaos with <strong>the</strong>ir filth.<br />

Let us avenge our beloved Absu, O Mo<strong>the</strong>r <strong>of</strong> Chaos!<br />

Let us avenge h<strong>is</strong> death, O Almighty Dragon!"<br />

When Tiamat heard th<strong>is</strong> speech, it pleased her,<br />

<strong>an</strong>d she screamed in <strong>the</strong> darkness:<br />

"The time <strong>of</strong> venge<strong>an</strong>ce <strong>is</strong> at h<strong>an</strong>d!<br />

The winds <strong>of</strong> hate shall storm <strong>an</strong>d <strong>the</strong> fire <strong>of</strong> destruction shall burn all life!<br />

The Spirit <strong>of</strong> Revenge has awakened me from <strong>the</strong> sleep <strong>of</strong> sorrow,<br />

<strong>an</strong>d we shall now avenge <strong>the</strong> death <strong>of</strong> Absu!"<br />

With her magic, Tiamat called forth <strong>the</strong> living darkness.<br />

The demons <strong>of</strong> evil <strong>an</strong>d gods <strong>of</strong> Chaos she invoked,<br />

<strong>an</strong>d <strong>the</strong>y all ga<strong>the</strong>red under <strong>the</strong> Dragon's throne.<br />

73


In rage, <strong>the</strong>y conspired without interruption, awaiting <strong>the</strong> battle.<br />

In <strong>an</strong>ger <strong>an</strong>d wrath, <strong>the</strong>y held a council to pl<strong>an</strong> <strong>the</strong> coming war.<br />

Mo<strong>the</strong>r Tiamat, filled with hatred, recited <strong>the</strong> <strong>an</strong>cient conjurations<br />

<strong>an</strong>d with her magic she called forth Hubur, her High Priestess.<br />

Hubur, Creator <strong>of</strong> Demons. Hubur, Tiamat's Wrathful Shadow.<br />

Tiamat spoke unto Hubur:<br />

"Create legions <strong>of</strong> venge<strong>an</strong>ce, create demons <strong>of</strong> d<strong>is</strong>order, create gods <strong>of</strong> destruction,<br />

for I, Tiamat, <strong>the</strong> most <strong>an</strong>cient <strong>an</strong>d powerful <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> gods <strong>of</strong> Chaos,<br />

dem<strong>an</strong>d <strong>the</strong> blood <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> new gods as sacrifice!<br />

Create armies <strong>of</strong> Chaos Warriors, who shall avenge <strong>the</strong> death <strong>of</strong> Absu.<br />

Create avengers <strong>of</strong> Chaos, my faithful Hubur, <strong>an</strong>d avenge <strong>the</strong> d<strong>is</strong>tress <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Dragon!"<br />

Hubur bowed before <strong>the</strong> throne <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Dragon,<br />

<strong>an</strong>d with her black magic,<br />

she called forth dragon monsters with sharp <strong>an</strong>d merciless f<strong>an</strong>gs.<br />

Instead <strong>of</strong> blood she filled <strong>the</strong>ir veins with form-d<strong>is</strong>solving po<strong>is</strong>on.<br />

Gi<strong>an</strong>t dragons <strong>of</strong> wrath she clo<strong>the</strong>d with power <strong>an</strong>d fear.<br />

She let <strong>the</strong>m bear <strong>the</strong> aura <strong>of</strong> terror <strong>an</strong>d made <strong>the</strong>m gods,<br />

so that those who intended to harm <strong>the</strong>m would be destroyed.<br />

Hubur lined up <strong>the</strong> Hydra, <strong>the</strong> raging dragon, <strong>an</strong>d Lahamu, <strong>the</strong> great lion,<br />

<strong>the</strong> raging hound <strong>an</strong>d <strong>the</strong> scorpion m<strong>an</strong>.<br />

Great storm demons, <strong>the</strong> f<strong>is</strong>h m<strong>an</strong> <strong>an</strong>d <strong>the</strong> dragons,<br />

all carrying merciless weapons <strong>an</strong>d without fear <strong>of</strong> battle.<br />

Eleven Wrathful Chaos Gods <strong>of</strong> th<strong>is</strong> kind she brought forth.<br />

And when all was prepared, Hubur kneeled before <strong>the</strong> great Dragon, Tiamat.<br />

Tiamat, Primordial Chaos personified, screamed to Hubur with a hateful voice:<br />

"Hubur, my own Shadow <strong>an</strong>d faithful priestess, I am sat<strong>is</strong>fied with what you have created,<br />

but who shall lead The Eleven to total victory,<br />

<strong>an</strong>d bring me <strong>the</strong> torn souls <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> bastard gods as a sacrifice?"<br />

When Hubur heard <strong>the</strong> Chaos Dragon's question,<br />

she called forth her spouse with her black magic.<br />

She called forth <strong>the</strong> great Prince <strong>of</strong> Chaos, <strong>the</strong> Warlord, Kingu.<br />

Before Tiamat's throne she exalted Kingu.<br />

74


And, in <strong>the</strong> name <strong>of</strong> Tiamat, Hubur chose Kingu to lead <strong>the</strong> army.<br />

She chose Kingu to lead th<strong>is</strong> sin<strong>is</strong>ter congregation,<br />

to ra<strong>is</strong>e weapons, <strong>an</strong>d be in comm<strong>an</strong>d <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> coming battle.<br />

Hubur let Kingu take h<strong>is</strong> place on <strong>the</strong> dark council.<br />

And before Tiamat's throne, Hubur said to her spouse, <strong>the</strong> mighty Kingu:<br />

"I have recited a formula for you, I have made you great among gods,<br />

I have filled your h<strong>an</strong>d with <strong>the</strong> power <strong>an</strong>d dominion over all gods.<br />

You are now more powerful th<strong>an</strong> ever, my spouse.<br />

May <strong>the</strong> filthy bastard gods be crushed beneath your feet!"<br />

Hubur gave <strong>the</strong> mighty Kingu <strong>the</strong> Tablets <strong>of</strong> Destiny,<br />

<strong>an</strong>d strapped <strong>the</strong>m to h<strong>is</strong> chest.<br />

Then, Tiamat screamed:<br />

"Kingu <strong>is</strong> now ready for war!<br />

Kingu who will avenge <strong>the</strong> death <strong>of</strong> Absu!"<br />

The Legions <strong>of</strong> Chaos were armed for <strong>the</strong> battle against <strong>the</strong> rebel gods,<br />

Tiamat's own unw<strong>an</strong>ted <strong>an</strong>d detestable spawn,<br />

<strong>an</strong>d <strong>the</strong> filthy rebel gods once again became filled with horror.<br />

Their god, Enki, was shaking with <strong>an</strong>ger <strong>an</strong>d fear.<br />

Enki was struck silent <strong>an</strong>d cried blood upon h<strong>is</strong> throne,<br />

for he knew that none could survive <strong>the</strong> wrath <strong>of</strong> powerful Tiamat.<br />

The cowardly Enki, <strong>the</strong> deceitful god, ga<strong>the</strong>red h<strong>is</strong> serv<strong>an</strong>ts<br />

<strong>an</strong>d told <strong>the</strong>m about <strong>the</strong> spells that <strong>the</strong> mighty Dragon had aimed at <strong>the</strong>m.<br />

Enki told <strong>the</strong>m about The Eleven,<br />

created by <strong>the</strong> will <strong>of</strong> Tiamat <strong>an</strong>d <strong>the</strong> magic <strong>of</strong> Hubur.<br />

He told <strong>the</strong>m about <strong>the</strong> Legions <strong>of</strong> Venge<strong>an</strong>ce,<br />

who under <strong>the</strong> leadership <strong>of</strong> Kingu were now prepared for war.<br />

And when all <strong>the</strong> gods <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> false light heard th<strong>is</strong>, <strong>the</strong>y cried blood.<br />

They knew none <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>m dared to meet <strong>the</strong> legions <strong>of</strong> her wrath,<br />

which, under <strong>the</strong> leadership <strong>of</strong> Kingu, were going to avenge Absu.<br />

The cowardly gods were silenced <strong>an</strong>d <strong>the</strong> shadow <strong>of</strong> Uggu fell upon <strong>the</strong>m.<br />

But Anshar, who was oldest among <strong>the</strong> bastard gods, came up with a solution.<br />

Anshar called upon Enki <strong>an</strong>d suggested:<br />

75


"The one whose strength <strong>is</strong> enormous shall be h<strong>is</strong> fa<strong>the</strong>r's defender.<br />

The one who shall fight Chaos <strong>is</strong> Marduk, <strong>the</strong> hero."<br />

When Enki heard th<strong>is</strong>, he called upon h<strong>is</strong> son, Marduk, <strong>an</strong>d said to him:<br />

"O Marduk, my faithful son, l<strong>is</strong>ten now to your fa<strong>the</strong>r,<br />

for <strong>the</strong> shadow <strong>of</strong> death has fallen upon us all,<br />

<strong>an</strong>d Mo<strong>the</strong>r Tiamat, <strong>the</strong> evil Dragon, has declared war against us<br />

who have come forth from her dreams.<br />

She has ga<strong>the</strong>red <strong>the</strong> legions <strong>of</strong> Chaos <strong>an</strong>d wrathful darkness,<br />

who are now ready to spill our blood.<br />

You are our only hope, Marduk, for none o<strong>the</strong>r among us<br />

dare to fight Tiamat's warriors, who are led by Kingu.<br />

I, Enki, w<strong>an</strong>t you, Marduk, who are strongest <strong>of</strong> all <strong>the</strong> gods,<br />

to defend us against <strong>the</strong> wrath <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Dragon.<br />

I w<strong>an</strong>t you, my son, to defeat Tiamat."<br />

Marduk who was filled with hatred towards <strong>the</strong> Forces <strong>of</strong> Chaos,<br />

swore before h<strong>is</strong> fa<strong>the</strong>r's throne to wage war against Mo<strong>the</strong>r Tiamat<br />

<strong>an</strong>d to use <strong>the</strong> strength that all <strong>the</strong> gods had bestowed upon him.<br />

When <strong>the</strong> gods heard th<strong>is</strong>, <strong>the</strong>y were filled with joy,<br />

but Marduk who was <strong>the</strong> most cunning among <strong>the</strong> bastard gods,<br />

ga<strong>the</strong>red <strong>the</strong>m all, <strong>an</strong>d laid forth h<strong>is</strong> dem<strong>an</strong>ds<br />

before <strong>the</strong> coming battle with <strong>the</strong> Forces <strong>of</strong> Chaos.<br />

To h<strong>is</strong> fa<strong>the</strong>r <strong>an</strong>d <strong>the</strong> o<strong>the</strong>r gods he proclaimed:<br />

"If I, Marduk, son <strong>of</strong> Enki, shall wage war against Tiamat,<br />

I need <strong>the</strong> blessings <strong>an</strong>d powers <strong>of</strong> all gods.<br />

I, Marduk, will be extolled above all.<br />

To rule over <strong>the</strong> highest throne <strong>is</strong> my dem<strong>an</strong>d.<br />

For if you do not extol me to <strong>the</strong> highest god,<br />

my strength will not be sufficient to defeat Chaos,<br />

<strong>an</strong>d death will surely take us all."<br />

The gods, filled with fear <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> upcoming war,<br />

agreed to <strong>the</strong> dem<strong>an</strong>ds <strong>of</strong> Marduk.<br />

They built mighty temples in honor <strong>of</strong> Marduk, <strong>an</strong>d pra<strong>is</strong>ed h<strong>is</strong> name.<br />

76


They declared Marduk as <strong>the</strong> king <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> gods,<br />

<strong>an</strong>d gave him <strong>the</strong> spire, <strong>the</strong> throne <strong>an</strong>d <strong>the</strong> dominion.<br />

The bastard gods armed Marduk with powerful weapons.<br />

They armed Marduk with bow <strong>an</strong>d arrow, axe <strong>an</strong>d sword, <strong>an</strong>d lightning <strong>an</strong>d fire.<br />

With h<strong>is</strong> newly acquired powers, <strong>the</strong> cowardly Marduk created<br />

a net <strong>of</strong> illusory light to capture h<strong>is</strong> enemies in.<br />

Marduk called forth <strong>the</strong> four cosmic winds,<br />

<strong>an</strong>d he created <strong>the</strong> whirlwind <strong>an</strong>d <strong>the</strong> hurric<strong>an</strong>e,<br />

to protect him against <strong>the</strong> wrath <strong>of</strong> Chaos.<br />

He sent <strong>the</strong>se winds towards <strong>the</strong> Dragon, to confuse her mind.<br />

Marduk, now ready for battle, called upon a mighty wind storm.<br />

Then, surrounded by <strong>the</strong> protecting whirlwind,<br />

he flew over <strong>the</strong> armies <strong>of</strong> darkness.<br />

Marduk traveled towards <strong>the</strong> Dragon’s Throne.<br />

To <strong>the</strong> depths <strong>of</strong> Chaos, Marduk traveled,<br />

<strong>an</strong>d before <strong>the</strong> Throne <strong>of</strong> Chaos, before Mo<strong>the</strong>r Tiamat,<br />

he once again descended towards <strong>the</strong> depth.<br />

Face to face with <strong>the</strong> Dragon, Marduk declared war.<br />

Without kneeling, <strong>the</strong> filthy Marduk dared to st<strong>an</strong>d in front <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> throne <strong>of</strong> Tiamat.<br />

Ummu Ushumgal Sumun Tiamat,<br />

Mo<strong>the</strong>r <strong>of</strong> Chaos, filled with wrath, filled with hate,<br />

looked at <strong>the</strong> rebellious Marduk.<br />

With <strong>the</strong> eyes <strong>of</strong> death, <strong>an</strong>d <strong>the</strong> cold stare <strong>of</strong> hatred,<br />

she looked down on <strong>the</strong> unworthy son <strong>of</strong> Enki.<br />

Tiamat recited <strong>the</strong> songs <strong>of</strong> death, she screamed forth a conjuration.<br />

Tiamat attacked Marduk with her <strong>an</strong>cient formula<br />

<strong>an</strong>d with her black magic she stabbed him.<br />

Son <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> gods, <strong>the</strong> cunning Marduk, was filled with fear.<br />

From <strong>the</strong> eyes <strong>of</strong> Marduk, blood gushed.<br />

From <strong>the</strong> mouth <strong>of</strong> Marduk, <strong>the</strong> red water <strong>of</strong> life flowed.<br />

From <strong>the</strong> ears <strong>of</strong> Marduk, <strong>the</strong> divine blood r<strong>an</strong>.<br />

Marduk screamed out in pain <strong>an</strong>d slowly beg<strong>an</strong> to drown in h<strong>is</strong> own blood.<br />

77


Sixty demons tore <strong>the</strong> body <strong>of</strong> Marduk.<br />

Seven demons dr<strong>an</strong>k <strong>of</strong> h<strong>is</strong> blood.<br />

The Great Dragon, <strong>the</strong> Empress <strong>of</strong> Chaos, sitting on her throne,<br />

laughed at <strong>the</strong> m<strong>is</strong>ery <strong>an</strong>d suffering <strong>of</strong> Marduk.<br />

The Legions <strong>of</strong> Chaos, led by Kingu, encircled Marduk.<br />

The Sons <strong>an</strong>d Daughters <strong>of</strong> Hatred surrounded Marduk.<br />

Marduk, filled with fear, saw <strong>the</strong> shadow <strong>of</strong> death closing in on him.<br />

Desperate <strong>an</strong>d overwhelmed by <strong>the</strong> evil surrounding him,<br />

he summoned h<strong>is</strong> cosmic winds.<br />

Marduk summoned h<strong>is</strong> storm winds <strong>an</strong>d released <strong>the</strong>m upon <strong>the</strong> demons.<br />

He tossed h<strong>is</strong> net <strong>of</strong> light over Tiamat.<br />

The Dragon <strong>of</strong> Chaos, filled with hatred, screamed <strong>the</strong> <strong>an</strong>cient curses.<br />

Marduk now fought with all <strong>of</strong> h<strong>is</strong> powers,<br />

<strong>an</strong>d unleashed <strong>the</strong> four winds against <strong>the</strong> face <strong>of</strong> Tiamat.<br />

When Tiamat opened her mouth to scream in rage,<br />

Marduk let <strong>the</strong> cosmic winds rush into her,<br />

so that she could not close her bloodstained jaws.<br />

Mo<strong>the</strong>r Tiamat, greatest <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>m all, screamed to Marduk:<br />

"How c<strong>an</strong> you hope to kill something that never lived?<br />

How c<strong>an</strong> you defeat <strong>the</strong> one who has never been born?<br />

I, Tiamat, was all when all was nothing!<br />

I ruled before death ex<strong>is</strong>ted.<br />

I am <strong>the</strong> emptiness <strong>an</strong>d <strong>the</strong> eternal darkness.<br />

I am Chaos, <strong>the</strong> destroyer <strong>of</strong> all order <strong>an</strong>d <strong>the</strong> mo<strong>the</strong>r <strong>of</strong> all <strong>an</strong>d <strong>of</strong> nothingness!<br />

How could you, Marduk, who are only <strong>an</strong> <strong>of</strong>fspring <strong>of</strong> one <strong>of</strong> my stillborn dreams,<br />

ever hope for <strong>an</strong> eternal rule?<br />

Before cosmos was Chaos,<br />

<strong>an</strong>d when cosmos falls, Chaos will once again become all!<br />

So enjoy your short victory, bastard god,<br />

for I, Tiamat, who was <strong>the</strong> first to see <strong>the</strong> Tablets <strong>of</strong> Destiny,<br />

know how th<strong>is</strong> war will end.<br />

Enjoy your short victory Marduk,<br />

for when <strong>the</strong> light <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> new gods have been extingu<strong>is</strong>hed,<br />

78


I once again will rule!"<br />

Marduk, who was filled with fear when he heard Tiamat's scornful speech,<br />

let <strong>the</strong> cosmic winds fill her abdomen <strong>an</strong>d tear her asunder from <strong>the</strong> inside.<br />

But <strong>the</strong> mighty Chaos Dragon, Tiamat, did not scream in pain.<br />

Instead, she replied with a scornful laugh.<br />

Marduk, <strong>the</strong> king <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> new gods,<br />

shot h<strong>is</strong> arrows <strong>of</strong> light <strong>an</strong>d tore open <strong>the</strong> Dragon's bowels.<br />

The arrows <strong>of</strong> Marduk tore open <strong>the</strong> intestines <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Dragon <strong>an</strong>d divided Her insides.<br />

Laughing, <strong>the</strong> mighty Tiamat fell.<br />

Laughing, <strong>the</strong> Mo<strong>the</strong>r <strong>of</strong> Chaos fell into <strong>the</strong> sleep <strong>of</strong> undeath.<br />

When Kingu's troops witnessed <strong>the</strong> fall <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Dragon, <strong>the</strong>y were bewildered,<br />

but <strong>the</strong> High Priestess <strong>of</strong> Chaos, Hubur, <strong>the</strong> demonic witch<br />

who had witnessed <strong>the</strong> battle, tr<strong>an</strong>sformed into a black wind.<br />

And before <strong>the</strong> spilt blood <strong>of</strong> Tiamat could hit <strong>the</strong> ground,<br />

before <strong>the</strong> Chaos Dragon's blood could be desecrated by <strong>the</strong> filthy Marduk,<br />

Hubur collected <strong>the</strong> blood <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> mighty Dragon, Tiamat,<br />

<strong>an</strong>d brought it to places unknown to <strong>the</strong> gods <strong>of</strong> false light.<br />

The faithful Hubur, <strong>the</strong> Mo<strong>the</strong>r <strong>of</strong> <strong>Black</strong> Magic,<br />

<strong>the</strong> evil witch Hubur, brought <strong>the</strong> blood to <strong>the</strong> darkest outskirts<br />

<strong>an</strong>d poured <strong>the</strong> blood <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Dragon into <strong>the</strong> endless emptiness <strong>of</strong> Outside.<br />

From <strong>the</strong> Dragon's blood arose <strong>the</strong> Empire <strong>of</strong> Wrathful Chaos.<br />

From <strong>the</strong> <strong>an</strong>cient blood <strong>of</strong> Chaos, <strong>the</strong> Retaliators <strong>of</strong> Darkness arose,<br />

They who shall avenge <strong>the</strong> fall <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Dragon Throne.<br />

The blood <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Dragon Mo<strong>the</strong>r flowed <strong>an</strong>d spread,<br />

so that Chaos came to surround that which would evolve into cosmos.<br />

In <strong>the</strong> darkness <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Wrathful Chaos stood evil demons, hungry <strong>an</strong>d awaiting.<br />

The cowardly Marduk, ignor<strong>an</strong>t <strong>of</strong> Hubur's actions <strong>an</strong>d <strong>the</strong> new Empire <strong>of</strong> Wrath,<br />

stood by <strong>the</strong> 'dead' body <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Dragon <strong>an</strong>d ga<strong>the</strong>red h<strong>is</strong> weapons.<br />

For he who had 'killed' Tiamat, must now defeat Kingu.<br />

Kingu, <strong>the</strong> last <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> remaining bloodline <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>an</strong>cient heritage.<br />

Kingu, <strong>the</strong> avenger <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Dragon, burning with hatred, was ready for war.<br />

79


But before <strong>the</strong> warlord Kingu could fight <strong>the</strong> unworthy Marduk,<br />

before he could lower Marduk into <strong>the</strong> waters <strong>of</strong> death,<br />

he was trapped by <strong>the</strong> armies <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> bastard gods.<br />

Kingu was overpowered by <strong>the</strong> legions <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> cowardly gods,<br />

who now dared to appear.<br />

For once <strong>the</strong> Dragon was 'dead' <strong>an</strong>d The Eleven who were created by Hubur’s magic<br />

had scattered towards <strong>the</strong> blood essence <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Outer Chaos,<br />

<strong>the</strong> bastard gods were filled with false courage.<br />

They shackled <strong>the</strong> mighty Kingu with burning chains,<br />

<strong>an</strong>d Marduk stole <strong>the</strong> Tablets <strong>of</strong> Destiny from Kingu,<br />

<strong>an</strong>d attached <strong>the</strong>m to h<strong>is</strong> own chest.<br />

Then <strong>the</strong> demonic Lord <strong>of</strong> Chaos laughed at Marduk, <strong>an</strong>d said:<br />

"O you filthy dog, your cowardliness must have saved you now,<br />

but I, Warlord <strong>of</strong> Chaos, have gazed into <strong>the</strong> Tablets <strong>of</strong> Destiny,<br />

<strong>an</strong>d I have seen how <strong>the</strong> struggle between Chaos <strong>an</strong>d cosmos will end.<br />

I have looked into <strong>the</strong> black tablets <strong>an</strong>d seen your own creation turn against you.<br />

I have seen those who serve The Wrath <strong>of</strong> The Blind Sword<br />

open <strong>the</strong> gates to <strong>the</strong> hungry gods who await <strong>the</strong> day <strong>of</strong> venge<strong>an</strong>ce.<br />

I, Kingu, have seen how those who, guided by my blood,<br />

will avenge <strong>the</strong> Primordial Chaos that you have desecrated.<br />

The Dragon shall ar<strong>is</strong>e, <strong>an</strong>d I, Kingu, shall receive my revenge!<br />

So enjoy your short victory, for <strong>the</strong> victory <strong>of</strong> Chaos shall be eternal!<br />

My venge<strong>an</strong>ce <strong>is</strong> within my blood's heritage,<br />

<strong>an</strong>d <strong>the</strong> hatred in my blood <strong>is</strong> without end.<br />

So enjoy your victory, Marduk, because when <strong>the</strong> Day <strong>of</strong> Wrath dawns,<br />

your blood will be spilled in my honor,<br />

by those within whom my own blood shall live on!"<br />

When Marduk heard th<strong>is</strong>, he told h<strong>is</strong> warriors to impr<strong>is</strong>on Kingu.<br />

In <strong>the</strong> darkest cave <strong>of</strong> Uggu he let h<strong>is</strong> armies chain Kingu.<br />

The entire congregation <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> new gods ga<strong>the</strong>red around Marduk, <strong>an</strong>d hailed him.<br />

Then Marduk, <strong>the</strong> unworthy bastard, split <strong>the</strong> head <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Dragon with h<strong>is</strong> sword.<br />

Marduk cut her veins, <strong>an</strong>d when h<strong>is</strong> fa<strong>the</strong>r saw th<strong>is</strong>, he was filled with joy <strong>an</strong>d happiness.<br />

80


Marduk, gazing at <strong>the</strong> Dragon's body,<br />

decided to create <strong>the</strong> universe with <strong>the</strong> body <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Dragon Mo<strong>the</strong>r.<br />

He chopped her body down <strong>the</strong> middle,<br />

<strong>an</strong>d with one half, he created heaven.<br />

With <strong>the</strong> o<strong>the</strong>r half, he created <strong>the</strong> earth.<br />

Marduk placed guardi<strong>an</strong>s to stop 'those who stay on <strong>the</strong> outside'<br />

from invading h<strong>is</strong> creation,<br />

for he sensed <strong>the</strong> hatred from those who had r<strong>is</strong>en from <strong>the</strong> Dragon's blood essence.<br />

He created walls to protect h<strong>is</strong> creation from <strong>the</strong> Wrathful Gods <strong>of</strong> Chaos.<br />

Marduk created locked gates to prevent <strong>the</strong> Seas <strong>of</strong> Chaos from flooding <strong>the</strong> universe.<br />

He created stations for <strong>the</strong> gods which corresponded with <strong>the</strong> stars <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> constellations.<br />

Marduk created years <strong>an</strong>d days, <strong>an</strong>d gave rule over all <strong>the</strong> pl<strong>an</strong>ets to <strong>the</strong> gods.<br />

Son <strong>of</strong> Enki created <strong>the</strong> sun to light up <strong>the</strong> day,<br />

<strong>an</strong>d <strong>the</strong> moon to light up <strong>the</strong> darkness <strong>of</strong> night.<br />

All gods hailed Marduk, <strong>an</strong>d gave him <strong>the</strong> title "Lord Creator."<br />

Marduk enjoyed being hailed, <strong>an</strong>d decided to create M<strong>an</strong>,<br />

so that <strong>the</strong>y too would hail <strong>an</strong>d worship him.<br />

Marduk told h<strong>is</strong> fa<strong>the</strong>r Enki:<br />

"With blood I will bind toge<strong>the</strong>r <strong>an</strong>d form a skeleton.<br />

I will create M<strong>an</strong> whose purpose shall be to forever worship <strong>an</strong>d serve us as slaves."<br />

When Enki heard th<strong>is</strong> he was proud <strong>of</strong> h<strong>is</strong> son, <strong>an</strong>d called upon all <strong>the</strong> gods,<br />

so that Marduk could pr<strong>of</strong>ess h<strong>is</strong> pl<strong>an</strong>s for <strong>the</strong> creation <strong>of</strong> M<strong>an</strong>.<br />

When <strong>the</strong> gods heard <strong>of</strong> Marduk's pl<strong>an</strong>,<br />

<strong>the</strong>y all gave <strong>the</strong>ir approval to <strong>the</strong> creator god.<br />

The cunning Marduk was sat<strong>is</strong>fied, <strong>an</strong>d asked <strong>the</strong> gods:<br />

"Who amongst you <strong>is</strong> <strong>the</strong>n ready to be sacrificed<br />

in order to create M<strong>an</strong> as our faithful slave?<br />

Who amongst you <strong>is</strong> ready to let h<strong>is</strong> blood be spilled,<br />

in order for us to create our slaves from blood <strong>an</strong>d clay?<br />

For in order to create M<strong>an</strong>, I need <strong>the</strong> blood <strong>of</strong> a god,<br />

for to make M<strong>an</strong> r<strong>is</strong>e from clay, one god's life must be sacrificed.<br />

Who amongst you <strong>is</strong> prepared to die<br />

81


in order to fulfill <strong>the</strong> w<strong>is</strong>hes <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> exalted divine assembly?<br />

The cowardly gods heard <strong>the</strong> words <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> filthy demiurge <strong>an</strong>d were filled with fear,<br />

for none <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>m was prepared to sacrifice <strong>the</strong>ir own life<br />

in order to fulfill Marduk's w<strong>is</strong>hes.<br />

But <strong>the</strong> Igigi gods, who were among <strong>the</strong> most clever <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> gods, thought <strong>of</strong> a solution.<br />

They told Marduk:<br />

"Let us sacrifice <strong>the</strong> one who declared war against us,<br />

Let us kill <strong>the</strong> one who derided us.<br />

Let us spill <strong>the</strong> blood <strong>of</strong> he who has pr<strong>of</strong>essed our dem<strong>is</strong>e.<br />

The Warlord <strong>of</strong> Chaos, whom we have impr<strong>is</strong>oned,<br />

c<strong>an</strong> die so that we c<strong>an</strong> receive our faithful serv<strong>an</strong>ts.<br />

We c<strong>an</strong> kill Kingu, so that M<strong>an</strong>, our faithful slave, c<strong>an</strong> be created!"<br />

When Marduk heard th<strong>is</strong>, he brightened up<br />

<strong>an</strong>d ordered for Kingu to be brought before <strong>the</strong> assembly <strong>of</strong> gods.<br />

The filthy rebel gods brought Kingu out from <strong>the</strong> cave <strong>of</strong> Uggu.<br />

Proud, <strong>the</strong> mighty Kingu stood before <strong>the</strong> unworthy gods.<br />

The cowardly Marduk, said to Kingu:<br />

"You, who pr<strong>of</strong>essed our death, it <strong>is</strong> now you who shall die.<br />

Perhaps <strong>the</strong> strength <strong>an</strong>d power <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> forces <strong>of</strong> Chaos<br />

are not as great as we had foreseen.<br />

The mighty Kingu maybe <strong>is</strong> blind,<br />

who could not even see h<strong>is</strong> own terrible death in <strong>the</strong> Tablets <strong>of</strong> Destiny."<br />

When Kingu heard th<strong>is</strong>, he laughed h<strong>is</strong> scornful laughter again <strong>an</strong>d said:<br />

"I, Kingu, have seen my own death in <strong>the</strong> Tablets <strong>of</strong> Destiny,<br />

but I have also seen my own resurrection.<br />

For what more <strong>is</strong> death to us that are <strong>of</strong> Chaos th<strong>an</strong> a short rest?<br />

We are <strong>the</strong> first, <strong>an</strong>d we shall be <strong>the</strong> last!<br />

We, who have never lived, c<strong>an</strong> never die!<br />

Spill my blood, O you cowardly Marduk,<br />

for <strong>the</strong> very blood that runs through my veins shall one day defeat you,<br />

for my hate <strong>is</strong> eternal, just like my lust for revenge!<br />

Enjoy, O you filthy rebel god, your short victory,<br />

82


for <strong>the</strong> pun<strong>is</strong>hment for your crime <strong>is</strong> horrible <strong>an</strong>d eternal!"<br />

When <strong>the</strong> gods who were present heard th<strong>is</strong>, <strong>the</strong>y were filled with <strong>an</strong>ger,<br />

<strong>an</strong>d with <strong>the</strong>ir swords <strong>the</strong>y cut <strong>the</strong> body <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> mighty Kingu into pieces.<br />

The coward Marduk severed Kingu's veins,<br />

<strong>an</strong>d mixed <strong>the</strong> blood <strong>of</strong> Kingu with clay to shape <strong>the</strong> hum<strong>an</strong> body.<br />

Then Marduk blew h<strong>is</strong> own stinking breath into <strong>the</strong> hum<strong>an</strong> body,<br />

so that it would be filled with life force <strong>an</strong>d start living.<br />

M<strong>an</strong> was created <strong>an</strong>d all <strong>the</strong> gods hailed Marduk.<br />

The unworthy gods bestowed upon Marduk h<strong>is</strong> fifty titles,<br />

<strong>an</strong>d exalted him to rule as king over all <strong>the</strong> cosmic gods,<br />

for where Chaos had ruled supreme, cosmos now reigned.<br />

However from outside <strong>the</strong> barriers <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> cosmos,<br />

<strong>the</strong> gods <strong>of</strong> Wrathful Chaos,<br />

which have r<strong>is</strong>en from <strong>the</strong> blood essence <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Chaos Dragon,<br />

are looking upon <strong>the</strong> creation <strong>of</strong> false light <strong>an</strong>d awaiting <strong>the</strong> day <strong>of</strong> retaliation.<br />

They await <strong>the</strong> order from The Eleven <strong>of</strong> Chaos,<br />

to invade <strong>the</strong> empire <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> demiurge,<br />

to spread <strong>the</strong> flames <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Outer <strong>Light</strong>,<br />

<strong>an</strong>d to forever extingu<strong>is</strong>h <strong>the</strong> dying spark <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> creator gods.<br />

But <strong>the</strong> hungry ones, who await <strong>the</strong> war on <strong>the</strong> outside,<br />

are not <strong>the</strong> only serv<strong>an</strong>ts <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> will <strong>of</strong> Wrathful Chaos.<br />

It <strong>is</strong> also written that <strong>the</strong> creation <strong>of</strong> Marduk, led by <strong>the</strong> blood <strong>of</strong> Kingu,<br />

shall open <strong>the</strong> gate from <strong>the</strong> inside.<br />

For it <strong>is</strong> said that M<strong>an</strong>, created by <strong>the</strong> blood <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Evil One,<br />

shall turn against h<strong>is</strong> own creator.<br />

For <strong>the</strong> impotent Marduk committed a fatal m<strong>is</strong>take<br />

when he created hum<strong>an</strong>s with <strong>the</strong> blood <strong>of</strong> Kingu,<br />

Warlord <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Wrathful Chaos.<br />

Through <strong>the</strong> blood <strong>of</strong> Kingu,<br />

M<strong>an</strong> carries in <strong>the</strong> depth <strong>of</strong> h<strong>is</strong> soul <strong>the</strong> <strong>Black</strong> Flame <strong>of</strong> Chaos.<br />

Within <strong>the</strong> depths <strong>of</strong> h<strong>is</strong> soul, M<strong>an</strong> carries <strong>the</strong> seed to <strong>the</strong> <strong>an</strong>ti-cosmic hatred,<br />

because <strong>the</strong> blood-spirit <strong>of</strong> M<strong>an</strong> <strong>is</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> essence <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> avenger,<br />

83


<strong>an</strong>d <strong>the</strong> hatred <strong>of</strong> hum<strong>an</strong>ity <strong>is</strong> <strong>the</strong> hatred <strong>of</strong> Kingu.<br />

Among <strong>the</strong> chosen, who are guided by <strong>the</strong> Spirit <strong>of</strong> Chaotic Blood,<br />

<strong>the</strong>re are those who are blessed with <strong>the</strong> powers <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>an</strong>cient Chaos Gods.<br />

These chosen ones, who serve <strong>the</strong> wrath <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> 'dead' gods,<br />

are <strong>the</strong> ones who shall open <strong>the</strong> locked gates from <strong>the</strong> inside<br />

<strong>an</strong>d let in those who await on <strong>the</strong> outside <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> cosmic barriers.<br />

The creation <strong>of</strong> Marduk <strong>is</strong> nothing but a sinking <strong>is</strong>l<strong>an</strong>d,<br />

surrounded by <strong>an</strong> eternal storming sea <strong>of</strong> Chaos,<br />

<strong>the</strong> sea <strong>of</strong> Chaos that <strong>is</strong> <strong>the</strong> blood <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> 'dead' Dragon.<br />

Outside <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> walls <strong>of</strong> creation, The Eleven Avengers <strong>of</strong> Chaos await.<br />

The Eleven <strong>an</strong>d <strong>the</strong>ir legions wait for <strong>the</strong> gates to be opened,<br />

so that <strong>the</strong>y c<strong>an</strong> re-establ<strong>is</strong>h <strong>the</strong> Chaos that once ruled.<br />

The Sacrificial Rite <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Eleven<br />

Flames<br />

0. Th<strong>is</strong> ritual should be conducted on one <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> liminal nights <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> year, when <strong>the</strong> order <strong>of</strong><br />

day <strong>an</strong>d night <strong>is</strong> d<strong>is</strong>solved in a state <strong>of</strong> chaotic in-betweenness <strong>an</strong>d <strong>the</strong> gates to <strong>the</strong> Outside<br />

are easier to open from within.<br />

In addition to all <strong>the</strong> traditional tools <strong>an</strong>d fet<strong>is</strong>hes used within <strong>the</strong> workings <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Current,<br />

eleven new <strong>an</strong>d ritually cle<strong>an</strong>sed black c<strong>an</strong>dles are to be placed upon <strong>the</strong> altar, in a way that<br />

marks out <strong>the</strong> <strong>an</strong>gles <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Sigil <strong>of</strong> Azerate. Each <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>se eleven c<strong>an</strong>dles must be inscribed<br />

with one <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> names <strong>of</strong> The Eleven, as <strong>the</strong>y are defined by us within <strong>the</strong> Babyloni<strong>an</strong><br />

context.<br />

These eleven c<strong>an</strong>dles represent <strong>the</strong> Eleven Demonic Gods created by Hubur (Tiamat's<br />

Wrathful Shadow) in <strong>the</strong> struggle against Marduk. The collective name <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>se forces <strong>is</strong>,<br />

according to our tradition, Azerate, which also <strong>is</strong> <strong>the</strong> 'logos' <strong>an</strong>d formula used within our<br />

kliffotic/Qliphothic stream as <strong>the</strong> voiced form <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> true <strong>an</strong>d voiceless Alogos <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> HVHY<br />

(434). Azerate <strong>is</strong> thus <strong>the</strong> formula <strong>an</strong>d sonic sigil used within <strong>the</strong> chaosophic tradition that<br />

bridges <strong>the</strong> gap between <strong>the</strong> Sumero-Babyloni<strong>an</strong> forms <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Gods <strong>of</strong> Wrathful Chaos <strong>an</strong>d<br />

<strong>the</strong>ir re-m<strong>an</strong>ifestations within <strong>the</strong> cabbal<strong>is</strong>tic teachings, as <strong>the</strong> Eleven Thrones <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Sitra<br />

Ahra.<br />

A fitting <strong>an</strong>d good sacrifice <strong>is</strong> to be <strong>of</strong>fered to The Eleven within th<strong>is</strong> black rite, <strong>an</strong>d <strong>the</strong><br />

spiritual forms from unrelated p<strong>an</strong><strong>the</strong>ons within a single ritual setting. We instead encourage a<br />

In some legends, it was Nahema Lilith who through her avatar Naamah, successfully awoke <strong>the</strong><br />

Watchers from <strong>the</strong> demiurge's hypnotic illusion, <strong>an</strong>d made <strong>the</strong>m awaken <strong>the</strong>ir own fiery wills <strong>an</strong>d<br />

dark lusts. It was Naamah who 'seduced' Azazel <strong>an</strong>d made him decend down into <strong>the</strong> darkness <strong>of</strong><br />

matter in order to, with h<strong>is</strong> daimonic seed <strong>an</strong>d black light, awaken <strong>the</strong> acausal fire within <strong>the</strong><br />

pneumatic elect. These elect, who all are <strong>of</strong> daimonic essence <strong>an</strong>d blood, are <strong>of</strong> Cain's <strong>an</strong>cestry, <strong>an</strong>d<br />

carry within <strong>the</strong>m <strong>the</strong> hidden fires <strong>of</strong> Samael <strong>an</strong>d Lilith. Naamah herself was <strong>of</strong> Cain's bloodline,<br />

<strong>an</strong>d <strong>the</strong>refore a fitting avatar for <strong>the</strong> energies <strong>of</strong> Nahema. In <strong>the</strong> same way did Naamah's bro<strong>the</strong>r,<br />

108


Tubal Kain, become a fitting avatar for Azazel, who later through h<strong>is</strong> sexual union with Naamah,<br />

united <strong>the</strong> heavens with <strong>the</strong> underworld, <strong>an</strong>d ignited <strong>the</strong> flames <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Black</strong> <strong>Light</strong> upon <strong>the</strong> earth.<br />

Tubal Cain, who was <strong>the</strong> first biblical blacksmith, mastered <strong>an</strong>d taught <strong>the</strong> mysteries <strong>of</strong> crafting<br />

weapons <strong>of</strong> war. H<strong>is</strong> name c<strong>an</strong> be interpreted as '<strong>the</strong> one who instructs or improves <strong>the</strong> arts <strong>of</strong> Cain'.<br />

He <strong>is</strong> <strong>the</strong>refore identified as Azazel, <strong>the</strong> goat-headed daimon that brought <strong>the</strong> divine fire <strong>an</strong>d <strong>the</strong><br />

secrets <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> blacksmith's craft to m<strong>an</strong>. For it <strong>is</strong> written in <strong>the</strong> Book <strong>of</strong> Enoch that 'Azazel taught<br />

men to make swords, <strong>an</strong>d knives, <strong>an</strong>d shields, <strong>an</strong>d breastplates, <strong>an</strong>d made known to <strong>the</strong>m <strong>the</strong> metals<br />

<strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> earth <strong>an</strong>d <strong>the</strong> art <strong>of</strong> working <strong>the</strong>m, <strong>an</strong>d bracelets, <strong>an</strong>d ornaments, <strong>an</strong>d <strong>the</strong> use <strong>of</strong> <strong>an</strong>timony, <strong>an</strong>d<br />

<strong>the</strong> beautifying <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> eyelids, <strong>an</strong>d all kinds <strong>of</strong> costly stones, <strong>an</strong>d all colouring tinctures'. Because <strong>of</strong><br />

th<strong>is</strong> Azazel <strong>is</strong> equalled to <strong>the</strong> tit<strong>an</strong>ic Prome<strong>the</strong>us, who brought <strong>the</strong> gnos<strong>is</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> secret fire to <strong>the</strong><br />

chosen <strong>an</strong>d made it possible for <strong>the</strong>m to, in accord<strong>an</strong>ce with <strong>the</strong>ir Luciferi<strong>an</strong> Will <strong>an</strong>d <strong>the</strong> cold heat<br />

<strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Black</strong> Flame, forge <strong>the</strong> weapons <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>ir own liberation.<br />

As with Prome<strong>the</strong>us, Azazel was also, according to some myths, pun<strong>is</strong>hed by <strong>the</strong> demiurge for <strong>the</strong><br />

gift he bestowed upon m<strong>an</strong>kind. He was chained <strong>an</strong>d hung upside down in a cave beneath <strong>the</strong><br />

'Mountain <strong>of</strong> Darkness', which <strong>is</strong>, according to some legends, located in a desert named Dudail. But<br />

not even in th<strong>is</strong> condition was Azazel defeated, for from under <strong>the</strong> Mountain <strong>of</strong> Darkness Azazel<br />

continued to instruct h<strong>is</strong> spawn. By <strong>the</strong> power <strong>of</strong> dreams he initiated <strong>the</strong>m in <strong>the</strong> forbidden<br />

teachings <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Nephilimic Witchcraft. Certain traditions also claim that Azazel was b<strong>an</strong><strong>is</strong>hed to<br />

Nahemoth, which <strong>the</strong>n <strong>is</strong> seen as '<strong>the</strong> place located under <strong>the</strong> Mountain <strong>of</strong> Darkness'. There he rules<br />

toge<strong>the</strong>r with h<strong>is</strong> m<strong>is</strong>tress Naamah, in her aspect as Nahema-Lilith.<br />

Azazel's instructions are m<strong>an</strong>ifested through dreams, <strong>an</strong>d h<strong>is</strong> powers are best ch<strong>an</strong>nelled through <strong>the</strong><br />

Oneiric Gate. Due to th<strong>is</strong>, Azazel <strong>is</strong> also viewed as <strong>the</strong> Horned Master <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Witches Sabbath, who<br />

during certain nights ga<strong>the</strong>r h<strong>is</strong> faithful children's astral or dream bodies on <strong>the</strong> Mountain <strong>of</strong><br />

Darkness, <strong>an</strong>d lets <strong>the</strong>m c elebrate <strong>the</strong> mysteries <strong>an</strong>d receive <strong>the</strong> Gnos<strong>is</strong> that he brings through <strong>the</strong><br />

Luciferic fire that burns between h<strong>is</strong> horns.<br />

The purpose <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> following ritual <strong>is</strong> to awaken <strong>the</strong> Nephilimic Blood in <strong>the</strong> practitioner, 'light <strong>the</strong><br />

fire between <strong>the</strong> horns', <strong>an</strong>d open <strong>the</strong> practitioner's inner gates to <strong>the</strong> power <strong>an</strong>d forbidden w<strong>is</strong>dom<br />

<strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Black</strong> Sabbatic Goat.<br />

0. Place, in <strong>the</strong> middle <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> altar, a goat skull, assigned to Azazel <strong>an</strong>d consecrated in h<strong>is</strong> name<br />

horned god (which <strong>is</strong> <strong>the</strong> 'Horned Tau Cross') on <strong>the</strong> forehead <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> skull <strong>an</strong>d vibrate <strong>the</strong><br />

109


name <strong>of</strong> Azazel seven times. Carve <strong>the</strong> same symbol on a black c<strong>an</strong>dle <strong>an</strong>d place it between<br />

summoning <strong>an</strong>d ignite <strong>the</strong> Nephilimic Blood running through my veins!<br />

Proud Watcher, you who protect <strong>the</strong> holy bloodline, bless me with your presence tonight,<br />

3. Burn fitting incense, like Olib<strong>an</strong>um, Myrrh <strong>an</strong>d Dragon’s Blood mixed with S<strong>an</strong>dalwood, in<br />

Beloved light bringer, you who chose to descend down into <strong>the</strong> darkness <strong>of</strong> matter <strong>an</strong>d form,<br />

in order to bring <strong>the</strong> divine fire to <strong>the</strong> vessels <strong>of</strong> clay, I who through Daimonic Blood have<br />

The <strong>Black</strong> Rite <strong>of</strong> Hekate<br />

Th<strong>is</strong> ritual <strong>is</strong> held on <strong>the</strong> night <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> 31st <strong>of</strong> October or on <strong>an</strong>y o<strong>the</strong>r fitting night, <strong>an</strong>d has as its aim<br />

to evoke <strong>the</strong> Dark Goddess, Hekate, <strong>an</strong>d ch<strong>an</strong>nel her most sin<strong>is</strong>ter energies towards <strong>the</strong><br />

m<strong>an</strong>ifestation <strong>of</strong> inner <strong>an</strong>d outer ch<strong>an</strong>ges, in conformity with <strong>the</strong> collective will <strong>an</strong>d desire <strong>of</strong> her<br />

blessed assembly.<br />

The proper place for <strong>the</strong> ritual must be chosen beforeh<strong>an</strong>d by <strong>the</strong> Priestess <strong>of</strong> Hekate <strong>an</strong>d must be a<br />

natural liminal point <strong>of</strong> ingress to <strong>the</strong> darker powers. A relatively big fire pit must be dug in <strong>the</strong><br />

middle <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> chosen place for <strong>the</strong> ritual <strong>an</strong>d enough timber must be collected <strong>an</strong>d placed inside <strong>the</strong><br />

pit to kindle a holy fire that will burn strong during <strong>the</strong> whole <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> ritual proceedings. The best<br />

wood to use for <strong>the</strong> kindling <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> fire <strong>of</strong> Hekate <strong>is</strong> from <strong>the</strong> dead br<strong>an</strong>ches <strong>of</strong> yew, willow <strong>an</strong>d<br />

cypress tree. The flames <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> pit will, during <strong>the</strong> ritual, act as <strong>the</strong> central focal point <strong>an</strong>d it <strong>is</strong><br />

<strong>the</strong>refore import<strong>an</strong>t to keep its fire strong <strong>an</strong>d steady, as its flames embody <strong>an</strong>d m<strong>an</strong>ifest some <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />

power that <strong>is</strong> evoked.<br />

Eleven rock crystals are to be placed in a circle around <strong>the</strong> pit in order to streng<strong>the</strong>n <strong>an</strong>d concentrate<br />

<strong>the</strong> astral currents that are brought down <strong>an</strong>d <strong>the</strong> chthonic forces that are brought up during <strong>the</strong><br />

Calling <strong>of</strong> Hekate.<br />

The ritual <strong>is</strong> commenced when each particip<strong>an</strong>t has kindled <strong>the</strong> torch that <strong>the</strong>y carry in <strong>the</strong>ir left<br />

h<strong>an</strong>d <strong>an</strong>d formed a circle around <strong>the</strong> central pit. After a silent contemplation <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> work at h<strong>an</strong>d <strong>the</strong><br />

priestess gives <strong>the</strong> sign for everyone to step forward to <strong>the</strong> pit <strong>an</strong>d, with <strong>the</strong> help <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> flames <strong>of</strong><br />

114


<strong>the</strong>ir burning torches, kindle <strong>the</strong> central fire <strong>of</strong> Hekate. When <strong>the</strong> fire <strong>is</strong> burning all particip<strong>an</strong>ts<br />

return to <strong>the</strong>ir former positions around <strong>the</strong> fire pit.<br />

The priestess fully opens <strong>the</strong> ceremony by first chiming <strong>the</strong> bell that she holds in her right h<strong>an</strong>d, one<br />

time over each <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> eleven crystals placed around <strong>the</strong> fire, while she internally invokes <strong>the</strong> Tit<strong>an</strong>ic<br />

forces <strong>of</strong> Xáos. She <strong>the</strong>n chimes <strong>the</strong> bell nine times <strong>an</strong>d focuses her will on establ<strong>is</strong>hing <strong>the</strong> internal<br />

link to Goddess <strong>an</strong>d exclaims:<br />

"In <strong>the</strong> wordless name <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> inner <strong>an</strong>d outer Xáos, we b<strong>an</strong><strong>is</strong>h <strong>the</strong> powers <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> finite light <strong>an</strong>d<br />

invoke <strong>the</strong> forces <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Divine Endless Night <strong>an</strong>d call forth <strong>the</strong> spirits <strong>of</strong> wrathful darkness!<br />

We who serve <strong>the</strong> Nameless Powers from beyond <strong>the</strong> cosmic barriers, are now, on th<strong>is</strong> blessed<br />

night, ready to open <strong>the</strong> forgotten <strong>an</strong>d forbidden gates <strong>an</strong>d partake <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> dark force that shall help<br />

us reshape <strong>the</strong> illusions <strong>of</strong> th<strong>is</strong> world, that by <strong>the</strong> blind has been called reality, in accord<strong>an</strong>ce with<br />

our own divine will!<br />

We who are <strong>the</strong> living gates to <strong>the</strong> outer Xáos, that with its all consuming fires brings both<br />

<strong>an</strong>nihilation <strong>an</strong>d resurrection, are now ready to call upon our Dark Mo<strong>the</strong>r, Hekate, who tonight for<br />

<strong>the</strong> sake <strong>of</strong> her own delight shall streng<strong>the</strong>n both our dark magic <strong>an</strong>d <strong>the</strong> powers <strong>of</strong> our will!"<br />

The priestess places <strong>the</strong> bell on <strong>the</strong> ground <strong>an</strong>d picks up her dagger. She turns to <strong>the</strong> western quarter<br />

<strong>an</strong>d traces, with <strong>the</strong> flames <strong>of</strong> her dagger, <strong>the</strong> invoking pentagram <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> western throne with a<br />

crescent <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> w<strong>an</strong>ing moon in its middle, <strong>an</strong>d vibrates three times:<br />

"E-Ka-Te!"<br />

When th<strong>is</strong> has been done all particip<strong>an</strong>ts lift <strong>the</strong>ir torches towards <strong>the</strong> sky <strong>an</strong>d exclaim:<br />

"Trins<strong>of</strong>ia Hekate!" (x9)<br />

The priestess <strong>the</strong>n stabs her dagger into <strong>the</strong> ground in front <strong>of</strong> where she st<strong>an</strong>ds, <strong>an</strong>d brings forth a<br />

chalice <strong>of</strong> libation <strong>of</strong>fering containing a mixture <strong>of</strong> red wine <strong>an</strong>d dark honey. She steps forward to<br />

<strong>the</strong> fire pit <strong>an</strong>d pours <strong>the</strong> <strong>of</strong>fering upon <strong>the</strong> fire, while ch<strong>an</strong>ting:<br />

"Gorgo, Mormo, Empusa, Lemures, Lamiae, Medusa!" (x9)<br />

She <strong>the</strong>n steps back to her original position <strong>an</strong>d calls upon <strong>the</strong> Dark Goddess with <strong>the</strong> following<br />

words <strong>of</strong> invocation:<br />

"Chthoni<strong>an</strong> Hekate, wake up from your slumber <strong>an</strong>d cast forth your shadow <strong>an</strong>d darksome light<br />

upon us who are your faithful children! Wake up, O you who are <strong>the</strong> dark reflection <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> world's<br />

All particip<strong>an</strong>ts exclaim:<br />

"Hail Hekate!"<br />

The priestess lifts <strong>the</strong> torch in her left h<strong>an</strong>d <strong>an</strong>d speaks <strong>the</strong> following words <strong>of</strong> invocation:<br />

"O you who are <strong>the</strong> queen <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> darkest night, we who serve <strong>the</strong> powers <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Black</strong> <strong>Light</strong> <strong>of</strong><br />
