world upon world as he considers necessary. The Master of Black Magick
becomes the Destroyer of Worlds and the bringer of the Twilight of the
Gods.
DEMONIC INVOCATION
Up to this point demons and even the Powers of Darkness have
been dealt with in ritual as elements that are external. The forces of
evil and demonic embodiments have been called forth into close
proximity, communicated with using scrying devices or intuitive
senses, and have been evoked to full manifestation within the Triangle.
While this serves as a great power to the Black Magician, in that he is
able to work with intelligences and forces that are capable of operating
without his constant guidance or even awareness, these still are forces
that he does not possess in the strength and specificity, and he therefore
becomes dependant on the tool. The abyss that separates the Black
Magician from the Blackness needs to not only be bridged, but eliminated
altogether. In the center of this abyss the Sorcerer and the Demon will
meet to experience an inseparable communion. Where once the demon
was evoked to a place set aside within the Temple, a place will now be
prepared within the Black Magician where the demon will manifest
and will work upon this world.
In choosing a demon to invoke, it is best to select one which you
have evoked in the past and have found to be exceptionally helpful. If
such is the case, it may be helpful to evoke the specific demon with
which you will be Working a day or so before performing the ritual of
invocation to discuss the matter with it and agree upon the time of the
ritual as well as the duration of the invocation. If you prefer to invoke
a demon that you have never before seen, any research that you could
conduct regarding its nature, history, powers, and basic characteristics
will be helpful. Whether you decide research the demon, meet it,
consecrate its sigil, or simply spend a period of time meditating upon its
name, a personal familiarity with it - and it with you is vital in
achieving a total result from the invocation.
It is also suggested that you invoke a demon that you not only
personally favor, but that you would wish to become more like, as it is
a constantly observed phenomenon that once an entity of such power
and influence has been called within you, you will forever be more like
