WORKS OF
DARKNESS
advised to retain the assistance of a Practitioner who is knowledgeable
in various forms of exorcism, and who can offer assistance in this matter
round-the-clock. This addce being given, the demon is not to be
discharged until the appointed day and time unless such is a dire
necessity in order to preserve your life or freedom. Further, under no
circumstances are Catholic or other Christian forms of exorcism to be
performed to rid yourself of the demon. Being raised in a Christian
world and possibly still being under the imbedded impression that the
God of the Christians, Moslems and .Jews is more powerful than any
demon or devil, the first fearful reaction of the Practitioner who most
likely is not ready for such an extreme experience with the reality of
demons is to run for the nearest Cathedral or Chapel to request an
exorcism from some spiritual eunuch. To do so will not only fail, but
will enrage the demon within and will turn the Powers of Darkness
against the Black Magician. The main reason for such a violent backlash
is that no matter what happens during the period of invocation, the
demon is your ally and comrade in arms. It did not solicit you to allow
it inside of your body, but you called it with the intent of having it
inhabit your being. To call upon the Powers of Darkness when it is
comfortable and convenient, and then to scurry off to the false god of
Light when your Operations bring actual results insults the demons
you have called, the Powers that you have allied yourself with, and
insults yourself as a would-be Master of Black Magick. Perhaps a reason
of greater or lesser magnitude that the traditional exorcisms of the
Christian faith should not be used during the period of demonic
invocation is because, plain and simple, they will not work. The only
thing that gives the prayers and petitions of the Christian clergy any
power or influence is the faith of the recipient. If you have been dabbling
in the Dark Arts with enough persistence to ha\'e performed a demonic
invocation, by the tenants of your previous faith your soul is lost as you
have abandoned God for the devil. You are a spirit of Darkness and
ugliness before the Lord. When the priest or reverend performs the
exorcism, your faith in that lie will be so diminished as to render it
impotent, or your previous faith will return, and you will become an
enemy of those Powers which you have sworn yourself to.
Instead of turning to the pretend powers of an emasculated faith,
your contracted assistant should be well-versed in the Works of Darkness
enough to perform a ritual License to Depart. Unlike the exorcism
