WORKS OF<br />
DARKNESS<br />
Although the Godforms with which you are working are both by intent<br />
and design sinister and malevolent, you may well find a comfort in<br />
such a close presence, a protectiveness and a watchfulness over you<br />
and your affairs. The moment that you spend in the Temple with your<br />
God encircling the whole of your Being is an intimate moment indeed,<br />
and should be savored as long as is possible, drifting in the sweet blackness<br />
of damnation.<br />
Before you leave the Temple to go out into Babylon or Jerusalem,<br />
while still in the presence of the essence of your God, gaze again at the<br />
cross before you and close the ritual with gratitude and a sense of<br />
centeredness in this skewed existence. Call out softly, "(Name of Deity),<br />
I devote this day and all of its activities to you and to the great and<br />
terrible Work, that each thought, breath, and action will speak your<br />
name and will lift me into your glory. May your essence linger with<br />
me throughout, and may those demons that serve you also serve me<br />
throughout. May I be armed with your might and empowered by your<br />
name. In all things, will my will and thine be done, Eternal."<br />
The above devotion and essential communion with the Godform<br />
that you have chosen should be engaged in as the first activity in the<br />
morning and the last activity at night, each day held together at both<br />
ends by your devotion.<br />
FINAL COMMUNION/ATONEMENT<br />
The period of devotion to one particular god form should endure<br />
at least 21 days, the final culmination of the whole process being a<br />
complete at-one-ment with the deity. By the 21" day, after 42 daily<br />
devotions have been offered to your God, having swam in His presence<br />
day and night, having dedicated each day to Him and His glory, the<br />
closeness of the union between god and man is strained to be matched.<br />
During the daily devotions, usually after 13 days of devotion,<br />
it is usual to begin to understand the nature of the One whose name you<br />
call, to see Him or Her from within their universe rather than as an<br />
outsider to their existence. The link that is established through the<br />
morning devotion will not subside as quickly as the first days of devotion,<br />
and will soon after the<br />
13 th<br />
day endure until the evening communion.<br />
In this state of perpetual communion with the God of Darkness, you<br />
may have the occasion of glimpsing through insight or intuition certain<br />
