DARKNESS<br />
He must come to know that he, too, is a demon not seeking absolution,<br />
but Ascent into the Palaces of the Dark Gods.<br />
Seat yourself again in your ritual chamber, facing south. Close<br />
your eyes and enter into relaxation, sinking into that abysmal place<br />
beneath the world of cause and effect. Breathe in, gathering your tension<br />
as before and releasing it into the air as you breathe out. Clear yourself<br />
of doubt and ignorant presumption. Become a clean slate, an empty<br />
vessel for the Powers of Darkness.<br />
View through your mind the ritual area, willing the image into<br />
perfect clarity. Deepen the image until you again see the black mist<br />
filling the room. Repeat the previous exercise of gathering and releasing<br />
the darkness with your breath, awakening your awareness to its Jiving<br />

becoming you.<br />
Exhale, noticing that the black vapor within you does not drain<br />
with your breath, but instead becomes even more integrated with your<br />
being. Continue to breathe the blackness in, filling yourself with it,<br />
saturating your Soul in its evil. Breathe it in until you feel the Power of<br />
Darkness radiating from your fingertips and illuminating your eyes<br />
with a black shine.<br />
The darkness which you have brought into yourself can never be<br />
expelled. The evil can never be shaken, although your conscious<br />
awareness of it will fade with time. For that reason, this exercise must<br />
be repeated often. Each repetition will yield not only greater ease, but<br />
a more intense and intimate communion with darkness. Eventually, it<br />
