DARKNESS
of it. Immerse yourself in the dark sanctity of the burning candle until
the power of it begins to ebb.
These simple rites will have led the aspiring Sorcerer into a
familiarity with those powers and forces of Black Magick. Those
beginning on the path will be able to catapult their Ascent through
application of these few practices until they are mastered. The
experienced Black Magician will find that they reawaken the dark
powers within him and electrify the energy around him.
Communing in this manner with the incarnate Darkness, the
Black Magician will certainly note dramatic changes, in both himself
and in the visions that he beholds when peering into the abyss. The
images that he uses in order to gain a conscious awareness of the real
and tangible powers of Black Magick may begin to fade, or to sharpen
into perfect clarity. The dark mist will eventually be seen rather as an
energetic intelligence, incomprehensible and unexplainable, yet
nonetheless real.
Although these are not Black Magick rituals in themselves, they
collectively act as a catalyst for future workings, and for the great
Becoming of the Sorcerer. They lead the fool from the straight and
narrow path into the Darkness, where he may begin to know himself,
destroy himself, and rise again into the realms of Eternal Night.
