Temple of the Black Light (TOTBL) is an international temple ...

Arachnidia Lilith, for example the evocation of her spider-demons, one must always ask for, andthen through Her blessings, find an already dead spider to use within the ritual working.When the moon is within its waning phase, and especially during the three nights before the DarkMoon, the pale lunar rays can, by the skillful magician, be tied to and used as a tool to channel andmanifest the dark silken web of Arachnidia, which has the power to both bind and extract/drawpower from the living and the dead alike. Because of the relevant symbolism involved, black silkenthreads are often used within many of the rites of Arachnidia Lilith and can in the hands of theinitiated devotee, and by the grace of Lilith herself, be used both to create the magical nooses thatare needed within certain dark workings, and to weave the entangled gates to Her astral web withinthe kliffot, that one can only enter by assuming the shape of her Arachnid Spawn (i.e. by becominga 'Werespider').Within the hidden parts of the sphere of Gamaliel that are under the dominion of the ArachnidiaLilith aspect, all the obscure paths, webs and threads are governed by the spider demons called the'Zachalilim'. These arachnid Lilim (spawn of Lilith) are, according to the hidden lore of the darkcultus, created by the same 'fallen seed' that makes the most potent roots of the Mandragora growwithin the dark earth... This special 'seed' is used by the fertile spidergoddess to inseminate her owneggs, which later give birth to her feared and mighty Zachalilim, who all carry within themselvesportions of the limitless powers of their mother.Similar to the spiders of the animal kingdom, Lilith and her spider Lilim also catch and trap theirvictims through the dark web that she is constantly weaving across all the kliffot on the Tree ofDeath. The prey caught within her threads of death is first wrapped (mummified) by her shadowweb and later slowly emptied of all vital fluids, until only a dry husk is left. This hard and emptyhusk, which in this case is the shadow of the dead, is then re-animated by the Dark Mother, throughthe infusion of her kliffotic 'shadow matter' into its shell, and the shadow becomes thus a newaddition of power that strengthens her vampiric legions.The principal realm of Arachnidia Lilith is of course within the Black Luna/Gamaliel, but her websand threads form hidden pathways between all spheres upon the Tree of Black Light/Tree of Death.She can therefore be understood as a dark beating heart that pumps life force, stolen from theworlds of the sephiroth, into all the black holes of the kliffot. These mysteries are therefore alsorelated to a special and secret form of 'climbing the tree' through the use of the hidden threads of theweb of the spidergoddess that become visible to the magician after he/she has first learnt to masterthe powers of the Zachalilim. It is only through the blessings of Arachnidia/Akkawbishia Lilith and62
