CHArTER TWELVE
BANEfUL MAGICK
spontaneity and moved by the Powers which fill the Temple. In all
commands, the death of the victim is to be stated in the present tense,
rather than the future. The future, even the near future, is an
ambiguous unit of measurement. The present, right now, is absolutely
certain and exact. Further, the moment the ritual is completed, the
victim has died, possessing no more life or light; it is only a matter of
time before the walking corpse falls.
In the ritual itself the altar should be set on the ground holding
a black and a red candle. The chalice should be filled with blood, either
the actual life-fluid or its symbolic representation (the latter being
properly consecrated as such) and the ritual dagger should be
sharpened. Either on the altar drawn on large paper upon which all
implements will sit or on the southern wall should the symbol of sulfur
be placed. Although in this particular Operation of Baneful Magick the
symbol will not be consecrated separately, it does still serve to focus the
energies and emotions called and generated towards a destructive goal.
II. EVOCATION OF DEADLY DEMONS
It is a rare if not unheard of grimoire that does not give the
names, attributes, and sigils of demons that are adept at the single task

powers of this Blackest Magick be left alone, all that is necessary to open
Pandora's box is given. Man is commanded to not kill, but is handed a
sharpened sword before the house of his enemy.
The instructions and rituals given in the ninth chapter of this
book are all that is needed in summoning the assistance of these demons
of death. If the literal death of the victim is desired, the demon should
be evoked fully as given in that chapter, rather than simply
consecrating its sigil. While sigil Magick will provoke a good deal of
misfortune and misery for your victim, producing his or her actual
demise will require several repetitions of the sigil consecration, which
can be more discouraging than anything else for the Black Magician.
Once the demon has been sent to murder your victim, it can
and should be evoked, preferably three days after the initial Operation,
to report on the Work. The Practitioner may be surprised by the first
report received as the demon gives an inside look at how the Work is
being done and what obstacles it has had to overcome. If this first
