WORKS OF<br />
DARKNESS<br />
Magician may ascend. There is always more to be gained, more to be<br />
learned, more to become.<br />
Set your usual, comfortable chair in the center of your Temple.<br />
Leave the table, the mirror, the altar and all of its devices alone in their<br />
storage places. Shut as much light out of the room as possible, invoking<br />
as utter a blackness as you are able. Stand facing the south wall, within<br />
arm's reach of its surface. Stretch out your hand and with your index<br />
and middle fingers, draw a large circle in the center of the wall, its<br />
diameter stretching three feet or more. Look at the wall and see the<br />
circle that you have drawn in your mind as a white line as if it were<br />
made with chalk.<br />
Sit in the chair, holding the white circle in your imagination<br />
in contrast to the darkness of the Temple. The area within the circle is<br />
now your scrying mirror. Gaze into it as you have gazed into your<br />
black mirror many times before. When your vision begins to come to<br />
life, the white mist will form as before. although it will not sit on the<br />
surface of the wall, but will drift before you in three dimensions. Because<br />
of the size of the circle, along with your Vision needing to adapt to the<br />
newness of the sight, the mist may form in patches or sections, clearing<br />
into a shining blackness just as the next section begins to cloud. This is<br />
the point in clairvoyant development where limitations fade and all<br />
things become possible.<br />
The whole of the circle having clouded over and cleared, gaze<br />
into the abyss, into the black portal that has opened wide within your<br />
Temple. and relax your mind into receptivity. Sit and gaze until the<br />
monsters of the abyss take notice of you watching, until the abyss itself<br />
gazes back into you. Often, it will take days for some, weeks or months<br />
- of sitting, silent and receptive, watching and waiting, before you will<br />
begin to see the figures of Reings forming in the blackness before you.<br />
When they do appear, greet them and introduce yourself as a Master of<br />
Darkness. a Worker of Evil, a Black God that is only now taking hold of<br />
his domain.<br />
