CHAPTER SEVEN
DEMONIC SIGIL MAGICK
Draw Martal's sigil in thick, black marker on white paper or
parchment cut in a square of five inches. Opposite the syntax of the
Demonic Introduction ritual, the sigil is to be drawn before the ritual
consecration takes place. It should also be drawn carefully, as to retain
the original shape of the thing. Although the ritual won't be a complete
failure if an angle is drawn two degrees more to the right or left than is
shown in the grimoire, a fair likeness is needed in order to make contact
with the demon.
In order to ritually charge the sigil with power and purpose,
the eyes need to be fixed on the sigil while the mind is fixed on the goal.
This bilateral focus creates a connection between the goal, the sigil,
and the demon that is being licensed to carry out the Work. The goal
may be visualized as a still picture or imaginary enactment of the
actual desire being accomplished, or in a symbolic representation of
the desire and the power to bring it to pass, the latter of which will be
used in the consecration of Martal's sigil.
The altar should be set in its uniform arrangement, a black
candle at your left hand and a violet candle at your right. Set the sigil
of Martal between the candles, face down so the drawn sigil itself is not
visible. The altar may be set on a table, allowing you to sit on a chair
behind the altar, or you may sit cross-legged with the altar before you
on the Temple floor. The chalice should remain empty, in such a state
being a simple focal point for the energy raised in the ritual - a veritable
cup overflowing with bounty.
With the Temple preparations complete, sit before the altar,
facing the southern realm of fire. Before initial meditation has begun,
before the essence of the ritual is even brought to mind, take the ritual
dagger into your right hand. Being the final exactor of the will of the
Black Magician, the ritual dagger does not coerce the demon, but instead
commands the universe into submission to provide for the meeting.
Hold the dagger with both hands in front of you, the tip of it pointing
towards heaven, your eyes looking straight onto the flat of the blade.
Your right hand should squeeze the handle, your left hand covering
and stabilizing the right.
Relax your grip on the dagger without lowering it from before
you. Close your eyes and feel it in your hands. See it in your mind
exactly as you saw it with your eyes. Breathe in and gather all of your
anxiety in your chest. Release the breath and the anxiety. When you
