DARKNESS<br />
of it. Immerse yourself in the dark sanctity of the burning candle until<br />
the power of it begins to ebb.<br />
These simple rites will have led the aspiring Sorcerer into a<br />
familiarity with those powers and forces of Black Magick. Those<br />
beginning on the path will be able to catapult their Ascent through<br />
application of these few practices until they are mastered. The<br />
experienced Black Magician will find that they reawaken the dark<br />
powers within him and electrify the energy around him.<br />
Communing in this manner with the incarnate Darkness, the<br />
Black Magician will certainly note dramatic changes, in both himself<br />
and in the visions that he beholds when peering into the abyss. The<br />
images that he uses in order to gain a conscious awareness of the real<br />
and tangible powers of Black Magick may begin to fade, or to sharpen<br />
into perfect clarity. The dark mist will eventually be seen rather as an<br />
energetic intelligence, incomprehensible and unexplainable, yet<br />
no<strong>net</strong>heless real.<br />
Although these are not Black Magick rituals in themselves, they<br />
collectively act as a catalyst for future workings, and for the great<br />
Becoming of the Sorcerer. They lead the fool from the straight and<br />
narrow path into the Darkness, where he may begin to know himself,<br />
destroy himself, and rise again into the realms of Eternal Night.<br />
