DARKNESS<br />
The chalice may also be filled with the blood of oneself or from<br />
another, and drunk as a sweet wine before any ritual, an evil sacrament<br />
that will imbue the ritual with an ungodly force.<br />
Finally, the mixture of bat's blood oil, the blood of a rat, and<br />
fresh moss in the chalice or in a bowl that is placed within the Triangle<br />
of Manifestation will provide an excellent base upon which any entity<br />
evoked may materialize.<br />
BLOOD SACRIFICE<br />
Far from the images of black hooded Satanists restraining a<br />
captured virgin to a marble slab, blood sacrifice has played a role in the<br />
spirituality of man that has become near inseparable from spirituality<br />
itself. Separate from the spilling of precious blood that comes with the<br />
slaughter of any animal, the ritual of blood sacrifice itself releases into<br />
the immediate atmosphere a force that is beyond containment. This<br />
force, once unbound to work upon this world and to alter total reality in<br />

amidst the Powers of Darkness.<br />
Blood sacrifice is said to be an art and a Work which should only<br />
be practiced by the most Adept a tool designed only for the Masters.<br />
Any other would perish at its presence, brought down by the very<br />
powers that they themseh'es have summoned up and by the very acts<br />
that they themselves have committed. The only purpose for its<br />
enactment, so say those Masters that have wielded this burning sword,<br />
is in the achievement of an Aeonic goal: a goal whose end is not the<br />
bettering of the life of the Sorcerer or the worsening of those that he<br />
