CHAPTER THIRTEEN; DARK ASCENT
Without taking your eyes off of the sulfur symbol, call out, "I
open this gateway into the realm of chaos that the abyss may rise and
consume this Temple. I command the tides of the Lake of Fire and
Brimstone to wash into this Temple. I call upon Abaddon to unlock the
bottomless pit and set loose the devils upon the earth. 1 call upon Shiva
to open his Third Eye and incinerate all that is weak and dying. I call
upon the Powers of Darkness to bring to pass the destruction of worlds in
accordance with my will." As was done with the Invocation of the Powers
of Death, as each command is given it is to be visualized and made
present by the focused will of the Operator until the Temple is filled
with these forces of destruction.
After this initial oration and the successful invocation of the
destructive powers at hand, return to the altar. Having experimented
and found success with rituals of Baneful Magick, you likely discovered
in the process the specific form or type of destructive ritual or curse
that works best for you; one with which you have had the most successes
and the most dramatic success. It is at this point in the ritual, with the
symbol of sulfur being activated and the major currents of destruction
flooding the Temple, that such a ritual of destructive Magick as you
have found that works for you should be performed.
When the ritual within the ritual is complete, the effigy being
thus demolished, the evoked demon having been commanded in his
task, or the Conjuration of the Powers of Death being given and the
forces called being sent to smother the victim, return your attention to
the throbbing symbol of sulfur and the multitudinous energies, powers,
and demonic beings that have gathered in your black Temple. It is
wise to note your wording, especially if the victim of your curse is a
part or aspect of yourself. Do not doubt the ability of this Operation to
stop a heart mid-beat, and be sure that the heart that stops is not yours.
Kill the part of yourself that is a hindrance.
The great Magick here is not necessarily in the ritual itself, but
in the purpose and function of it: in the ridding of all dross in your life,
the removal of all obstacles to your Ascent. While the ritual above can
very easily and effectively end the life of a victim, its greater ability is
to end the reign of a force or a current that has hitherto been
unstoppable. The symbol of sulfur is the completion of things, the true
soul that is only found once all of the flesh has been stripped away. The
Sorcerer here begins to see the universe in its nakedness as he immolates
