CHAPTER FOUR RITES OF CONSECRATION<br />
you have yet to charge it, do so now, pulling the same violet energy<br />
into it as was done before.<br />
Dip your middle and ring fingers of your<br />
right hand into the water, using those fingers to sprinkle the altar with<br />
the water. The fleeing of the energy from your altar will be less dramatic<br />
\<br />
than when the Temple was cleansed, most likely feeling like an<br />
\<br />
alleviation of a slight mustiness in the stone or wood.<br />
\<br />
Control of breath is one of the most basic and most potent<br />
components of a successful Black Magick Operation, as is the steady<br />
'\'isualization of the final goal.<br />
Inhale as you dip your fingers in the<br />
water, and exhale as the droplets are sprinkled on the altar. As the air<br />
leaves your lungs, the energy will leave the altar. Visualize this taking<br />
place in as sharp and clear an image as you are able, seeing through<br />
your inner vision the mossy green energy evaporating from the altar.<br />
If you have developed a distinct psychic awareness of the altar,<br />
you will sense the matter of it gradually being liberated of the impeding<br />
energies which previously inhabited it.<br />
The sensed cleanliness will<br />
peak, the majority of the energy having been sloughed from the stone<br />
or wood. This is a unique point which occurs in this and all other rituals,<br />
when the vital force and will has been exhausted, the Nexion has been<br />
opened, the universe has ceased its maelstrom and is waiting to move<br />
at the Sorcerer's command.<br />
Hold your hand again over the altar, sensing the mag<strong>net</strong>ic<br />
repulsion between your flesh and the inanimate material.<br />
You should<br />
feel a dramatic change in the energy rising from the altar. It may feel<br />
like a lighter, less dense energy, or it may feel void of all force whatsoever.<br />
In whatever way it manifests to you, what is important is that to you it<br />
feels clean and clear of its previous energy.<br />
With a few deep breaths, empty your mind. Enter into a passive<br />
clarity, neither thinking nor wanting.<br />
for the Powers of Darkness.<br />
Become a receiver, a mouthpiece<br />
Place your right hand on the surface of the altar.<br />
spiritual emptiness of it, the stark coldness that it has become.<br />
Feel the<br />
Know<br />
that it is inert, waiting for you to breathe life into it, to instill in it a<br />
new soul.<br />
To the altar beneath your hand, state, "Creature of (wood/stone),<br />
I have taken that life and that power which was within you, and I have<br />
cast it away, as it does me no good. Now I give you a new power and a<br />
new life, in service to Darkness. Open yourself to receive it, and seal it<br />
