great force of evil and darkness, whom was created divine but chose the shadow path. in the ancient persian religion of zoroastrianism, ahriman (called also arimanius or angra mainya) is one of the earliest forms of the devil itself, the father of those of the shadow, the demonium of the earth. in the ancient witchcraft religion (yatuk, persian sorcerers used blood of wolves[10 (who are sacred to ahriman) to call upon darkness. ahriman was probably in this sense, one of the first vampyre forms of ancient history. while similar to other fallen angels such as azazel/iblis or lucifer, there is a strong separation of ahriman from such fire djinn. the reason for this is that ahriman is of death and shade, a black flame of essence hidden by the cloak of darkness. iblis/azazel/lucifer is an angel

hriman is of death and shade, a black flame of essence hidden by the cloak of darkness. iblis/azazel/lucifer is an angel of light, self-liberation and illumination of knowledge (gnosis. in this however, do not dismiss the forces of darkness, they are essential to ones own individual initiation and growth. it is in the darkness that the roots give the nourishment for the tree to reach for the sun. ahriman is thus a form of the vampyre, the shadow which grows in the darkness and solitude of psychic seclusion, isolation and loneliness. many forms may be taken by ahriman, from toad to dragon, shadow and wolf. ahriman is the model for our nightside primal conscious, the kingdom of the demonium or infernal realm. this is not a moralistic evil designed to perform harmful deeds against others, but

toad to dragon, shadow and wolf. ahriman is the model for our nightside primal conscious, the kingdom of the demonium or infernal realm. this is not a moralistic evil designed to perform harmful deeds against others, but rather a model of self-initiation from which the essence is awakened or discovered through the opposite. the offuscation of the self or lunar eclipse is the night calling of both ahriman and az, from which through the vampyric transformation of self can one reach the consort of ahriman, known as az. az, the primal lilith, the reason that they felt ill at ease was that by eating and drinking they laid themselves open to az-concupiscence: their bodies were no longer self-sufficient but depended on nourishment from outside, and this in turn ultimately led to their own wastage

ded on nourishment from outside, and this in turn ultimately led to their own wastage and death when they themselves are devoured by az, for az is not only the demon of gluttony and lust, she is also the demon of death who is never sated; she is the demon 'who swallows all things: the dawn and twilight of zoroastrianism, r.c. zaehner, new york, 1961 az, which is a female demon related directly to ahriman, is considered a harlot and goddess of death and blood. in this aspect az is related or a blue-print for, lilith, hecate and babalon. she is the vampyre queen, the immortal witch whom creates the alchemical elixir of endless existence, the very core essence of the luciferian and vampyre. az may also be related to kali, the goddess who devours and brings life. the vampyre in this aspect is

sphorus is symbolic of fire illuminated from clay, of light emerging from darkness. the magicians and witches of this 'skir-hand' guild are 2 equally focused on not only low sorcery, but utilizing the hidden nature of darkness to reveal light within themselves. here we find the foundation and essence of baphomet, the father of wisdom. the sabbatic god is both the union of the beast and the whore, ahriman (satan, samael) and az (lilith, babalon) which beget cain (by the circle of leviathan, the serpent of the depths. an initiatory image of cain as baphomet (by soror lilitu azhdeha) may be found in the book of cain and represents the black lord of the sabbat as a form of the adversary. a representation of this path may be found in my publications, luciferian witchcraft: a book of the serpent

olls and others use little or no exterior tools or implements. what holds tradition among such adepts is the commitment of the luciferic spirit within. this is the mind of the practitioner which has been liberated through antinomian practices and thought, by this determined focus that the will of the black adept has transformed he or she into a daemonic being. within ancient persian practice, the ahriman (satan) created daemon akoman (meaning evil mind) is the luciferian mind which seeks liberation and independence from the mass or herd mentality, to become something other by the forbidden or evil path of magick or witchcraft. certain tools within the craft sinister are often considered haunted objects, empowered by ongoing ritual practice by the witch or sorcerer which gives the fetish a

erness. 6 lilith as described in post-biblical literature is viewed as the queen of demons, she went to the caves near the red sea and copulated with fallen angels to beget other demons, she also taught (according to manichaean lore az) the fallen angels how to form bodies and have sexual relations to give life to other dragon children. she was said to have been the reunited with her mate samael (ahriman) after the fall, when he would not be roused by his fellow fallen ones and demons, only the words of az (lilith) could rouse him. he then kissed her form and caused menstruation, which was passed on to all women as lilith is directly connected with their fiery and dark sides. the goddess of luciferian witchcraft is lilith or babalon, as described previously. she is also hecate, the darkene

iously a serious point of introspection needed by the individual before pursuing, a level of skill which is almost sensed rather than learned. here can be understood as the calling of witch blood of our father the devil, by cain and tubal cain, witch initiator of the blackened forge and his mother lilith-az, does the initiatic stream of the watchers survive. those of the yatu or sorcerous path of ahriman within the circle of ritual evocation, known as azothoz, does the therion atavistic shadows emerge from the darkness of flesh. azothoz in the lore of the circle represents the alpha and omega, being the beginnning and end which is also the primal current of the serpent, or az azhi dahaka, the dragon king of persian sorcerous lore. the great work as within the model of the witches sabbat pr

a dual participation of both dreaming and ceremonial/solitary ritual is represented as the fleshing of desire and belief, wherein the arcana of cain is revealed to the intiate, where there is no further difference between the great whore lilith-az and samael as the adversary, all are one through the expanding and deification of the magician. in summary the witch becomes a vessel and expression of ahriman and his bride, thus the circle of lucifer is complete and the casting has brought forth cain, thus the initiate is the first of witch blood and the skir-hand gnosis of shadow and light. the very foundations of the luciferian witchcraft gnosis is found in the circle, they very place of summoning which has the scribed names of infernal deific forces, from azazel to ahriman in ancient persian

concerning magical transformation, zohak was later known as azi dahaka, the demon of three faces. zohak was said to have descended from a king called mardas and tazak, who dwelled originally in tazikan or arabia. it was according to lore that zohak lived as a king for a period of time of 1,000 years. as written in the denkard- this, too, is declared in the good religion that the source of demons (ahriman) had arrayed with deceits zohak, the descendant of taj, the diminisher of creations; hence the laws of zohak deteriorated his own nature, worked for the immoral and blemished (ahriman, and caused destruction by tyranny and apostasy, so that the habits of men were corrupted, the world distressed, and there was increase of morality among the creatures -the denkard13 it is suggested also by t

xperience is good and full of the divinity; and a pessimist or dualist type in which salvation must consist in escaping from the weight of matter permeated by influences which are in themselves evil. it is possible, as i suggested earlier,1 that these distinctions were blurred for a renaissance reader. how little ficino understood dualism is indicated by the fact that he took ormuzd, mithras, and ahriman to be the expression among the magi of persia of the truth pervading all rehgions that god is a trinity,2 whereas ahriman is the evil principle in the uncompromisingly dualist zoroastrian system. with this determination to find adumbrations of christian truths everywhere, he would be likely to ignore, or to misunderstand as an "egyptian" version of christian asceticism, the dualist aspects

GAMBLE ELIZA BURT THE GOD IDEA OF THE ANCIENTS OR SEX IN RELIGION

peruvians supposed their tanga-tanga to be one in three, and three in one: and in consequence of the union of hero worship with the astronomical and material systems of idolatry they venerated the sun and the air, each under three images and three names. the same opinions equally prevailed throughout the nations which lie to the west of hindostan. thus the persians had their ormuzd, mithras, and ahriman: or, as the matter was sometimes represented, their self-triplicating mithras. the syrians had their monimus, aziz, and ares. the egyptians had their emeph, eicton, and phtha. the greeks and romans had their jupiter, neptune, and pluto; three in number, though one in essence, and all springing from cronus, a fourth, yet older god. the canaanites had their baal-spalisha or self-triplicated

GILBERT THE MAGICAL MASON

ld, according to zoroaster, was ahura mazda, king of light and spirit of the sun, often called ormuzd by english authors- a great being having many resemblances to the old hebrew mosaic ideal of jehovah.thecult was at first, at any rate, a monotheistic one,butlater became dualistic, prominence being given to the existence and powers of an evil deity named angra mainyus, the evil mind, also called ahriman, who is always in conflict with the god of good. we find references also made to a veiled deific principle, shrouded in mystery, superior eventoormuzd, the creator and world ruler. he was named in the 'vendidad- zervanaresemblances of freemasonry to mithra 247akarana, or zervan akerene 'eternal light' or possibly 'boundless time, of whom nothing can be conceived, known or declared- a supre

we have discussed about the cosmic error, we can summarise it in terms of the creation or action of a secondary spiritual source. in the gnostic interpretation of the biblical myth for example, we have the defection of lucifer and a battle between michael and satan, which results in the creation of matter. in the zoroastrian model we have ahura mazda, the lord of light, and the secondary force as ahriman. depending on the period, the zoroastrian model varies, sometimes we have spenta mainyu battling ahriman, other times we have a more warrior version of ahura mazda doing battle, however, the duality is still the same. if we decide to use the biblical mythology for its symbolic value, we would arrive at a structure like that seen illustrated in fig 6. what is interesting about this structur

as well. after a period of working with such arts, lilith then revealed a darker path. lilith drank the blood of man, and bred her children from their seed, taken from nocturnal congress with those sleeping. desert travelers were drained of life and their children were given to her vampyric children to grow strong. lilith opened the gates for arezura, called the secret place, and the great shadow ahriman came before me. i took the mark of the beast and lilith s mark, being the bloodied caul. lilith bathed in blood, and grew strong and comforted from it. she was isolate and beautiful. kind and pale features would caress one who feared her, then her hand would become blackened talons, covered in course gray hair, and her face become contorted in demonic ecstasy i grew in lust for her, this g

nding; much was presented to me, which i found illuminating. that body is the vessel of manifestation, the marriage of light and darkness. the circle of summoning is the extent of self, and the fire which surrounds is the circle of fiery will and spirit of the spirit. lilith showed me the art of the sabbat, and how i may become al-aswad at will. the shadow was grown and made strong by the arts of ahriman, who was as darkness. the beast became human flesh, and i was able to become both. i was brought in union and great ecstasy the harmony of the celestial heights of my father s realm, being the air and fire. i was also shown and taught the arts of the lower realm, called a secret place known as arezura, that shadow and flame was the mastery over the earth. i was blessed again with the mark

both shadow and flame. i then took forth to the great deserts, with the blessing of lilith and the dragon itself. i was the lord of the forge, the blacksmith of infernal and celestial fire, the rider of the dragon and bringer of sorcerous knowledge. i, cain, who learned the wisdom of the devouring goddess, the harlot made virgin and the virgin made goddess, and have faced the hungering shades of ahriman, who blessed me in the dreams and nightmares of the wise. i, cain, who sipped of the emerald grail and the skull cup of the dragon-goddess, did i taste the pleasures of the harlot, walk the earth forever. i am the wandered, and many forms i will take. that even that i have left flesh shall my spirit dwell on, that i who have embraced the black flame just as set-an of egypt, that i shall dw

f power first internally and then externally as you see fit. the vampyre magickian is indeed luciferian, there is no difference in the ideological foundations. lucifer in the grimoire tradition of the middle ages is considered a spirit of the air, as his element is air just as his bride lilith, additionally he is the bringer of light as his direction is the east. lucifer as a vampyric spirit 9 is ahriman the prince of darkness. his wisdom is infernal and is hidden. all symbolism of vampyrism or vampirism as it is spelled is reflective of the spirit and astral plane. the name lucifuge means fly the light and reflects the nocturnal nature of many luciferian spirits. just as lucifer was the brightest of angels, upon his initiation and fall he was encircled in darkness. thus he has the highest

ooks downward into matter. 3. the higher spirit-world, that looks upward. this would be defined in luciferian witchcraft as 11 azal ucel, or the higher intellect holy guardian angel. 4. nous or the eternal blessedness, in short not some spiritual nirvana but in luciferian terms the level of wisdom of possessing this world both materially and spiritually. the physical or world of matter is that of ahriman the prince of darkness. our material universe is our grounding and experience plane which can be agreed upon. the astral plane is the next level of experience, where consciousness or the psyche is cloaked and released from the flesh limitations of this world. the foundations of vampirism within the practice of luciferian witchcraft are based within the study and conventional understanding

be devoured. vampirism is a predatory spiritual path yet it is not an absolute. luciferians as predators or vampyre magicians are able to hold lasting relationships we do not prey on each other we don t harm people or 13 act outside of the laws of our government. luciferians enjoy life we want more of it. t h e l u c i f e r i a n c r e e d i am a luciferian and of seba and set. i am a vessel of ahriman and az. i worship my own self-progressing divinity. i deny all religions which would sacrifice the sense of i. i recognize that religion must start within and be a mirror of my desire. i affirm my body as a temple of darkness and fire. i affirm my soul as the daemon-god upon the throne in this black tower. the twin serpents are my key to continued vitality and initiation, i will seek to ra

bath in the blood of the moon. our brothers are yatus, sorcerers of ahrimanic witchcraft; our sisters are pairikas, daughters of az. we are the people of the lie (druj, we are the those of demon-flesh awakened and ancient, forever seeking to further illuminate the black flame. our religion is sorcery, that which is ensorcelled by our practice of yatuk-dinoih (witchcraft. life is the great gift of ahriman, as isolate consciousness (the soul or psyche) is separate from the natural order. the black order of the dragon is entirely spiritual in nature, aimed at the theory of gaining immortality via the psyche. it is the physical path of exhaustion, of when the spirit and flesh are one and become stronger with insight and determination. the core essence of the serpent is the eye which hides with

dation of leviathan. 15 luciferian will is the satori, which is an endless chalice of blood of fire you may sip the venom of this cup yet you shall never take your fill. as the self is always progressing and mutating into a godlike being the serpent hungers for more those who fail become the feast of the shades of the void. those who become are the avatars of set s endless power of being. i am of ahriman s flesh. the wolf is the skin which cloaks the hunger of struggle. the serpent is the skin which directs the gaze of the eye. the bat is the thirst within called trshna, to fall into the abyss and the graal of dragon s blood from the eye of set does his form become darkness, ahriman. that spark within to awaken the senses. from which as shadow do i fall into nothingness to reach a cup to s

sea. the take my divine leadership upon the earth 16 luciferian will and immortality the will of the luciferian is essential in the development of the mind and body of the practitioner of vampirism. the black order of the dragon recognizes both the masculine and feminine demonic archetypes of the path of luciferian witchcraft, namely samael and lilith. in the auspices of the vampyric path, it is ahriman (the black dragon) and tiamat (the red dragon. while tiamat in this aspect is the primordial form of lilith, she appears black from the wisdom of endless time. it is that samael, lilith and leviathan are joined in primal union hence tiamat is the collected sumerian adversary. she is the mother of darkness, dragons and vampirism. vampirism is a concept which begins in the subconscious. it i

nce, is neither a fantasy 17 path nor one of role playing. the luciferian continually seeks to develop and refine the self, via magick and real world experience, eventually practicing a path close to that of the black order of the dragon. 1. all living beings continue existence by feeding on another. we are predators, as luciferian, we acknowledge the power of the archetype of strength. samael or ahriman is indeed a symbol of strength and cunning. the food chain should never be ignored. you can adhere to predatory spirituality and still be a very productive member of society. the luciferian weaves their webs within the fabric of the society they live in. a luciferian who is belial-like or a lord of the earth would not be a prisoner because they cannot obey laws, a good example of a lucifer

ave the potential for self-deification (godhood. tiamat is the first power of draconian darkness, the vampire which is the primal union of lilith and samael, guided by leviathan. she is before all others. tiamat was in the form of a giant dragon, a sea dragon who had the head of a griffin or tiger, wings, claws and a scaly tale. she appears also as a giant serpent. tiamat resembles the legends of ahriman as the dragon. here is the adversary, she is the night and the abyss. tiamat can give life and create what she wishes, much like ahriman created the archdaevas to counter creation. tiamat was a sorceress, a powerful first witch who was both vampire and goddess to all. the demonic feminine is equally important to the adversarial formula in luciferian witchcraft as it is the balance which ac

s therein. to start with taromati, moving upward through the spine will certainly activate a sense of calm and empowerment in the sorcerer. this will give a feeling of rising and elevation as you move up to each additional chakra. the luciferian who visualizes the twin serpents coil upward around the spine, out of the shoulders and the connection to akoman in the ajna chakra and shortly after the ahriman aspect above will no doubt hold some results driven workings. control of nervous movements is also important in the storing and strength foundation of the chi energy from not only the chakras but the astral body as well. when performing ahrimanic yoga, focus in the energy 25 spiraling through your spine, allow it to be compressed when breathing into a sphere and then stored accordingly. yo

e very motivator of samael or lucifer, who is now ahriman. consume the rest of the angel in front of you. rejoice in life! 8. focus on the balance of your inner light and darkness, how you may motivate your light to control and shape the darkness based on what you wish to achieve. say in your mind: by the essence of lucifer am i god. i will devour as much energy as i can. i am both as lucifer and ahriman, lilith and the darkness of night. i will cast aside doubt and illusion and devour the hindering light of god until i am unchallenged! moving the astral body sit in a chair, legs directly in front of you and finger tips touching each other. your hand from the thumb to the forefinger should be raised to your solar plexus level and your two hands touching should form a type of triangle shape

agine their life essence draining into your being. the significance of the luciferian path in relation to vampirism is devouring god. appling darwinist principles in this magical process will aid the initiatory path of becoming a being like lucifer in the capacity in which you seek to be. it is essential to focus on accumulating enough energy to further develop yourself towards devouring godhead. ahriman and the path of darkness leads to light, that light is always within. what is good? everything that heightens the feeling of power in man, the will to power, power itself. nietzsche 34 good and evil are opinions and states of mind. be careful not to subjugate all of your so-called morals in one ideological corner it could limit your possibilities. this does not mean however that you should

ere is no desire for the other which detracts from the mastery of the physical, rather a careful balance. luciferians are by all account spiritual in nature, by sorcery we encircle our desire and belief through gnosis, utilize meditation techniques and aethyrs within the subconscious. by all these things, we never abandon the physical or the realities of our existence. the spirit of angra mainyu= ahriman, is darkness and shadow. luciferians are deeply involved in the methods of sorcery and their own brands of witchcraft. darkness and shadow is expanded by the brightness of our illumination, thus wisdom begets darkness. one aspect of the black order of the dragon is to illuminate this light within each adept, to compliment an independent and opposer type of individual. by all accounts the b

ically the yatuk dinoih. the ten precepts of zohak and the ten adominations of akht jadu display therein the very foundation of this work, the luciferian path and the key to the gates of hell and heaven. heaven and hell are indeed spiritual realities, yet also physical sensations. by achieving and devouring we may reach the heights of both, which equally are powerful. remember the deific force of ahriman, so sought to break open the gates of heaven and devour his brother ahura mazda, the sun. morals morality changes based on culture and time. what is amoral now will not be 50 years from now. do not harm those who have not crossed you, respect animals and children as both hold a strong sense of honesty. guilt if you think through an action, and are compelled to take it feel no guilt. guilt

pent, the barbarous tongue. create your own shadow tongue, it should be a language which means something to you it must stimulate the imagination. the vampyre magickian may use the yatuk dinoih and the drujo demana from luciferian witchcraft and liber hvhi in workings of not only sorcery, but vampyrism as well. arashk is the name of the demon who was said to have created the story of zurvan, that ahriman is equal to ahura mazda. by these words desire becomes flesh. rite: with a flame and a symbol of the eye with a mirror recite: it is my will to awaken arashk in my spirit, coil serpent! recite 9 times: 72 by chismak and arashk i shall become a serpent focus now on the eye opening within the mirror, then within your mind. this eye may be serpent-like or anything else you wish. it must be a

the context of liber hvhi and luciferian witchcraft, it is a term signifying the antinomian path. 76 akho [avestan/pahlavi] from the avestan akha meaning evil, akho is mentioned in the denkard as a word representing a current of averse energy or evil, through which one aligning their thoughts in possessing spiritual independence, antinomianism and self-deification one may reach into the spirit of ahriman. this supports the initatory foundation of the luciferian path itself the adept prepares to become like the adversary his or her self, based on their own unique path. akht [avestan/pahlavi] the sorcerer who was the embodiment of the yatus, the demonic forces of ahriman. akht-jadu or kabed-us-spae as he was called was mentioned in matigan-i yosht-i fryan. akhtya was the founder and member o

d horus. in jewish folklore, satan was called samael. samael, whose name meant venom of god, was considered a dark angel of death, and also the true father cain (the first child of adam and eve. satanists repeatedly reinforce this association, frequently suggesting that it was the serpent who was true father of cain, rather than adam (the first human. occultists will also freely refer to satan as ahriman (angra mainyu. ahriman is an ancient persian god who, according to legend, is wholly wicked and at war with his righteous brother ahura mazda. this ahriman resides in a gloomy underworld, and leads many demons. and then you have hades, from greek mythology. hades is the ruler of the underworld, and the brother of zeus. after a conflict where hades, poseidon, and zeus team up to defeat the

have the support of the most high god. our humble civilizer, on the other hand, spoke of morals and the sciences while never teaching magic, and he also had the support of the most high god. jehovah, jove, or god, is the righteous brother and ruler whose names are also many. to the jews, he was yahweh. to the christians he is jehovah. in persia he was known as ahura mazda, the bother of the evil ahriman. in egypt, he was ra/osiris. the greek myths call this entity zeus, and in rome he went by the name jupiter. this being, and his son, is commonly associated with the sun. here an important distinction must be made, because many have noticed a correlation between the sun, and satan. satan, or set, is the god of the setting sun and so therefore his symbol is that of a black sun, as opposed t

a naked woman with black skin, who wear a necklace of skulls and holds a bloody sword. similar to the babylonian account of tiamat, kali s body parts constitutes the universe of space and time. the goddess kali, along with her husband shiva, roam the cremation grounds; this is a likely reference to the qliphoth or underworld. in the persian narration, az is the mother of demons and the consort of ahriman (satan. semiramis, yet another name for this goddess, an assyrian queen of legend, was reportedly the inspiration behind the hanging gardens of babylon. the hanging gardens of babylon, also called the hanging gardens of semiramis, are considered to be one of the 7 great wonders of the ancient world. the hanging gardens, which some speculate to date back to 600 bc (more likely much earlier

MICHAEL W FORD NOX UMBRA

ism is indeed a sinistral (left way or lhp) collection of various aspects of folklore and initiatory currents in black magic and sorcery. what enables sorcery to occur in a productive or destructive aspect is the combination of will-desire-belief. vampyrism within the current of modern witchcraft is a development from the sabbat- the infernal awakening of the sorcerer as a shadow-manifestation of ahriman, the persian- zoroastrian sorcerous being who was evil, or adversarial chaos embodied. black magic has long been viewed as a self-centered and selfish area of study, which often causes obsession and destruction. this, if looked through a rhp (right hand path) or path of disillusion (i.e. christianity) this is accurate according to the belief structure. keep in mind that religious pathways

m. the price was painful, and dark. alas, in this darkness was found a light- the black flame of individual being. the vampyre sorcerer indeed loves life, and the realms of ghosts and shades, we find nourishment in their tombs and black earth. yet when we emerge in the light of shaitan in the noon tide sun, we can appreciate it more. we explore the dreaming sabbat as wolf and blackened shadow, as ahriman the lord of darkness- as demon and dragon, yet in the dawn light we arise and face the beauty of nature. by the antinomian path of self-deification (separation of the natural order) we are able to observe and enjoy the breathtaking world around us- the forests, the water, the night sky- all of this pleasures many take for granted. we are awake and nothing can stand in the way of that. we b

nd what we are, the possibilities and the process of changing the natural order in accordance to our will. this is the lucifcrian and sethian flame of being- the black flame itself! there are specifically two methods of practice in vampyrisrn as within an initiatory context- mastery of the self and the left hand path approach of witchcraft and sorcery. the vampyre- initiate who seeks the union of ahriman and the disunion with the natural-order works in the darker or adversarial spirits, what is the same as within palo mayombe and petro voodoo currents of sorcery. by entrancing the self by the methods of offbeat rhythm, the magician calls forth the left-handed aspects of the self, the vampyric famulus (latin for familiar) whom is the shadow-drinker, the loa of the grave, whom has survived p

er it. you will change in time. if you find yourself frightened or if other shadow forms touch you, a feeling of weakness occurs you should banish immediately and consider not attempting this again. this may be a suggestion of your work in reference to vampyrism and shadow sorcery, both of the sabbat and the sethanic path of witchcraft will strengthen you in the darkened and tomb soiled shroud of ahriman. come now unto his pitch arms and talons, transform in the embrace of the father and mother of the blood moon of tiamat and babalon. ahrimanic vampyre the ahrimanic vampyre is one who has isolated the psyche, understanding that we are spiritual beings within flesh. we can thus control our immediate surrounding world. as we are born in darkness, we are nourished in the shadows. as we are st

forms in the nightside of which we assume (bat. wolf, moth, or a hybrid of each and others) are the extensions of our will and desire. the vampyre is a being which has deified itself through the antinomianian process of death and rebirth, one who has passed through the ancient aspects of set and anubis, the guardians of the threshold. the symbol of the dragon known as tiamat or leviathan is also ahriman, the coiled beast that is of serpent wisdom. the dragon has fueled the myths of dracula, the dragon race from wallachia. dracos, draconum is the very shadow of the immortal fountain of life, which the vampyre seeks to bask in eternally. remember, in bram stoker's immortal "dracula" novel, the prince of vampyres is transformed not by another vampyre. but rather his own self-iniliatory work

ternally. remember, in bram stoker's immortal "dracula" novel, the prince of vampyres is transformed not by another vampyre. but rather his own self-iniliatory work and black magic. dracula itself was based from two historical figures, vlad dracul, whom was of a family of the order of the dragon, and elizabeth bathory, whose family crest depicted three wolf teeth surrounded by a dragon(leviathan, ahriman. the history of bram stoker's novel dracula has its own curious beginnings in association with folklore and historical figures. specifically, in dracula was a woman by raymond t. mcnally, stoker had an original manuscript of the novel which was later deleted, which was published in 1807. the character harker traveled from munich to a isolate area from which he comes into contact with a vam

vampyre female named countess dolingen for the sorcerer interested in developing the vampyric path, literary and folklore is highly suggested. it is through inspired magickal lore that one may develop their own form of becoming, something which may add to their own arcana of belief. in the yatuk dinoih, the lines of persian sorcery and vampyrism are close, as connected with the adversary form of ahriman. an early ritual described in "sacrifices in greek and roman religion and early judaism" by royden keith yeikes describes a persian blood ritual known as 'taurobolium, which holds a connection to mithris and the lore of the bull. in this ritual, the practitioner slays a bull on a platform, which has many holes in the wood. the blood then pours upon the individual. symbolically, the sacrifi

ritual described in "sacrifices in greek and roman religion and early judaism" by royden keith yeikes describes a persian blood ritual known as 'taurobolium, which holds a connection to mithris and the lore of the bull. in this ritual, the practitioner slays a bull on a platform, which has many holes in the wood. the blood then pours upon the individual. symbolically, the sacrifice of the wolf to ahriman is symbolic only. no blood of an animal or human should ever be used. the wolves would be shadow forms created by the sorcerer who is becoming like ahriman. the use of blood to call the dead is an old practice. the huns lacerated themselves to allow their own blood and tears to fall upon their dead. blood was used also in by the abbot guibourg who poured the blood of young boys on a "livin

e primal ecstasy of transformation of ones animal familiars and forms; the bat, moth, wolf or shadow form. the circle design is in three forms- naturally the number of hecate, mother of the path. the circle from which the sorcerer stands is the binding sigil, representing black magical transformation in the circle to an isolate consciousness. one smaller circle is of nas, the necromantic shade of ahriman, the initiator unto the gates of the dead. the third is mitrokht, being a vampyric shade of the voice of command. this is the element of control the vampyric essence brings, close to the divinity of the nephilim, those of the watchers who drink the blood of the land. the vampyric fetish as created by the sorcerer should be made of a human skull, animal skull or pot. one should relire to th

_ormuzd_ himself. the third order of pure spirits is more numerous. they are the _ferouers, the thoughts of ormuzd, or the ideas which he conceived before proceeding to the creation of things. they too are superior to men. they protect them during their life on earth; they will purify them from evil at their resurrection. they are their tutelary genii, from the fall to the complete regeneration. ahriman, second-born of the primitive light, emanated from it, pure like ormuzd; but, proud and ambitious, yielded to jealousy of the first-born. for his hatred and pride, the eternal condemned him to dwell, for 12,000 years, in that part of space where no ray of light reaches; the black empire of darkness. in that period the struggle between _light_ and _darkness, good_ and _evil, will be termina

pirits created by his brother, he opposed an innumerable army of evil ones. to the seven _amshaspands_ he opposed seven _archdevs, attached to the seven planets; to the _izeds_ and _ferouers_ an equal number of _devs, which brought upon the world all moral and physical evils. hence _poverty, maladies, impurity, envy, chagrin, drunkenness, falsehood, calumny, and their horrible array. the image of ahriman was the dragon, confounded by the jews with satan and the serpent-tempter. after a reign of 3000 years, ormuzd had created the material world, in six periods, calling successively into existence the light, water, earth, plants, animals, and man. but ahriman concurred in creating the earth and water; for darkness was already an element, and ormuzd could not exclude its master. so also the t

man. but ahriman concurred in creating the earth and water; for darkness was already an element, and ormuzd could not exclude its master. so also the two concurred in producing man. ormuzd produced, by his will and word, a being that was the type and source of universal life for everything that exists under heaven. he placed in man a pure principle, or life, proceeding from the supreme being. but ahriman destroyed that pure principle, in the form wherewith it was clothed; and when ormuzd had made, of its recovered and purified essence, the first man and woman, ahriman seduced and tempted them with wine and fruits; the woman yielding first. often, during the three latter periods of 3000 years each, ahriman and darkness are, and are to be, triumphant. but the pure souls are assisted by the g

most afflicted with the evils poured out upon it by the spirits of perdition, three prophets will come to bring relief to mortals. sosiosch, the principal of the three, will regenerate the earth, and restore to it its primitive beauty, strength, and purity. he will judge the good and the wicked. after the universal resurrection of the good, he will conduct them to a home of everlasting happiness. ahriman, his evil demons, and all wicked men, will also be purified in a torrent of melted metal. the law of ormuzd will reign everywhere; all men will be happy; all, enjoying unalterable bliss, will sing with sosiosch the praises of the supreme being. these doctrines, the details of which were sparingly borrowed by the pharisaic jews, were much more fully adopted by the gnostics; who taught the r

uces what is far older than itself. it paints, with the strongest colors that the oriental genius ever employed, the closing scenes of the great struggle of light, and truth, and good, against darkness, error, and evil; personified in that between the new religion on one side, and paganism and judaism on the other. it is a particular application of the ancient myth of ormuzd and his genii against ahriman and his devs; and it celebrates the final triumph of truth against the combined powers of men and demons. the ideas and imagery are borrowed from every quarter; and allusions are found in it to the doctrines of all ages. we are continually reminded of the zend-avesta, the jewish codes, philo, and the gnosis. the seven spirits surrounding the throne of the eternal, at the opening of the gra

temples made with hands" in the open air, under the overarching mysterious sky, in the great world-temple, they uttered their vows and thanksgivings, and adored the god of light; of that light that was to them the type of good, as darkness was the type of evil. all antiquity solved the enigma of the existence of evil, by supposing the existence of a principle of evil, of demons, fallen angels, an ahriman, a typhon, a siva, a lok, or a satan, that, first falling themselves, and plunged in misery and darkness, tempted man to his fall, and brought sin into the world. all believed in a future life, to be attained by purification and trials; in a state or successive states of reward and punishment; and in a mediator or redeemer, by whom the evil principle was to be overcome, and the supreme dei

intelligence and knowledge, himself time without limit, and wielding all the powers of the supreme being. in this persian faith, as taught many centuries before our era, and embodied in the zend-avesta, there was in man a pure principle, proceeding from the supreme being, produced by the will and word of ormuzd. to that was united an impure principle, proceeding from a foreign influence, that of ahriman, the dragon, or principle of evil. tempted by ahriman, the first man and woman had fallen; and for twelve thousand years there was to be war between _ormuzd_ and the good spirits created by him, and _ahriman_ and the evil ones whom he had called into existence. but pure souls are assisted by the good spirits, the triumph of the good principle is determined upon in the decrees of the suprem

flicted with the evils brought upon it by the spirits of perdition, three prophets will appear to bring assistance to mortals. sosiosch, chief of the three, will regenerate the world, and restore to it its primitive beauty, strength, and purity. he will judge the good and the wicked. after the universal resurrection of the good, the pure spirits will conduct them to an abode of eternal happiness. ahriman, his evil demons, and all the world, will be purified in a torrent of liquid burning metal. the law of ormuzd will rule everywhere; all men will be happy; all, enjoying an unalterable bliss, will unite with sosiosch in singing the praises of the supreme being. these doctrines, with some modifications, were adopted by the kabalists and afterward by the gnostics. apollonius of tyana says "we

apine go unpunished; and where he who with many years' cheating and grinding the faces of the poor grows rich, receives office and honor in life, and after death brave funeral and a splendid mausoleum--this world, where, since its making, war has never ceased, nor man paused in the sad task of torturing and murdering his brother; and of which ambition, avarice, envy, hatred, lust, and the rest of ahriman's and typhon's army make a pandemonium: this world, sunk in sin, reeking with baseness, clamorous with sorrow and misery. if any see in it also a type of the sorrow of the craft for the death of hiram, the grief of the jews at the fall of jerusalem, the misery of the templars at the ruin of their order and the death of de molay, or the world's agony and pangs of woe at the death of the red

evil and suffering, the ancient persians imagined that there were two principles or deities in the universe, the one of good and the other of evil, constantly in conflict with each other in struggle for the mastery, and alternately overcoming and overcome. over both, for the sages, was the one supreme; and for _them_ light was in the end to prevail over darkness, the good over the evil, and even ahriman and his demons to part with their wicked and vicious natures and share the universal salvation. it did not occur to them that the existence of the evil principle, by the consent of the omnipotent supreme, presented the same difficulty, and left the existence of evil as unexplained as before. the human mind is always content, if it can remove a difficulty a step further off. it cannot belie

ew _debar iahavah, the word of god. it is by his uttered word that god reveals himself to us; not alone in the visible and invisible but intellectual creation, but also in our convictions, consciousness, and instincts. hence it is that certain beliefs are universal. the conviction of all men that god is good led to a belief in a devil, the fallen _lucifer_ or _light-bearer, shaitan the adversary, ahriman and tuphon, as an attempt to explain the existence of evil, and make it consistent with the infinite power, wisdom, and benevolence of god. nothing surpasses and nothing equals, as a summary of all the doctrines of the old world, those brief words engraven by hermes on a stone, and known under the name of"_the tablet of emerald" the unity of being and the unity of the harmonies, ascending

light. after having set his feet on the threshold of the palace of pluto he ascended to the empyrean, to the bosom of the eternal principle of light of the universe, from which all souls and intelligences emanate. plutarch admits that this theory of two principles was the basis of all the mysteries, and consecrated in the religious ceremonies and mysteries of greece. osiris and typhon, ormuzd and ahriman, bacchus and the titans and giants, all represented these principles. phanes, the luminous god that issued from the sacred egg, and night, bore the sceptres in the mysteries of the new bacchus. night and day were two of the eight gods adored in the mysteries of osiris. the sojourn of proserpine and also of adonis, during six months of each year in the upper world, abode of light, and six m

ate of immortality. it is, however, not difficult, combining the different rays of light that emanate from the different sanctuaries, to learn the genius and the object of these secret ceremonies. we have hints, and not details. we know that the egyptians worshipped the sun, under the name of osiris. the misfortunes and tragical death of this god were an allegory relating to the sun. typhon, like ahriman, represented darkness. the sufferings and death of osiris in the mysteries of the night were a mystic image of the phenomena of nature, and the conflict of the two great principles which share the empire of nature, and most influenced our souls. the sun is neither born, dies, nor is raised to life: and the recital of these events was but an allegory, veiling a higher truth. horus, son of i

nctuary. it resulted from that belief in the providence and superintendence of the gods, which was one of the primary bases of initiation. the administration of the universe by subaltern genii, to whom it is confided, and by whom good and evil are dispensed in the world, was a consequence of this dogma, taught in the mysteries of mithras, where was shown that famous egg, shared between ormuzd and ahriman, each of whom commissioned twenty-four genii to dispense the good and evil found therein; they being under twelve superior gods, six on the side of light and good and six on that of darkness and evil. this doctrine of the genii, depositaries of the universal providence, was intimately connected with the ancient mysteries, and adopted in the sacrifices and initiations both of greeks and bar

o distribute punishment and blessing. thus not the deity, but his ministers, or a principle and power of evil, were deemed the authors of vice and sin and suffering: and thus the genii or angels differed in character like men, some being good and some evil; some celestial gods, archangels, angels, and some infernal gods, demons and fallen angels. at the head of the latter was their chief, typhon, ahriman, or shaitan, the evil principle; who, having wrought disorder in nature, brought troubles on men by land and sea, and caused the greatest ills, is at last punished for his crimes. it was these events and incidents, says plutarch, which isis desired to represent in the ceremonial of the mysteries, established by her in memory of her sorrows and wanderings, whereof she exhibited an image and

ained to him: he was taught that these ceremonies brought him nearer the deity; and that he should adore the consecrated fire, the gift of that deity and his visible residence. he was taught the sacred characters known only to the initiated; and instructed in regard to the creation of the world, and the true philosophical meaning of the vulgar mythology; and especially of the legend of ormuzd and ahriman, and the symbolic meaning of the six amshaspands created by the former _bahman, the lord of light _ardibehest, the genius of fire _shariver, the lord of splendor and metals _stapandomad, the source of fruitfulness _khordad, the genius of water and time; and _amerdad, the protector of the vegetable world, and the prime cause of growth. and finally he was taught the true nature of the suprem

oroastrians held a form of dualism wherein if one approached from the zoroastrian view, the power of ahura mazda would be useful in only battling evil, powerless against a materialistic or spiritual benefit other than using such to keep one from temporary torment (the zoroastrians do not believe in an eternal hell, merely a temporary one once frashegird arrives. when dualism can be overcome, that ahriman may be recognized in all which includes the self firstly, then can one use the power of darkness to become strong in both a material sense (if desired) or a spiritual one. az or jeh, the whore or demonic feminine, was the 'weapon of concupiscence' which ahriman chooses it of his own free will 'as his very essence. the lightening which emerges from the abyss manifests upon earth, the storm

ngs order as well, knowing that stasis is death and the spirit must continually move forward. the adversary s origins are found in both the feminine and masculine, that balance must bring the lively intelligence of existence. here is the sacred cup made from the human skull, to drink of it s elixir is to taste the lifeforce which illuminates and makes free the spirit! one may refer to the name of ahriman or angra-mainyu for a source of the adversary on earth. the root of the word mainyu is the avestan word, derived from the latin mens meaning the human mind. angra is angry meaning violent motion, determining by will alone the path and moving against the natural order. ahriman is thus a powerful sorcerer by defined concept, his bride was the fiery motivation in his spirit and for ahriman to

were unseen yet had very powerful hungers for the human spirit, vizaresh for instance had no specific physical attrtibutes but could detect spirits, sat at the mouth of hell and sought to drag souls into darkness. material based daevas such as druj nasu, came in the form of a fly and transformed the body into dark matter and the spirit into a type of spiritual predator. the names and etymology of ahriman (satan) in rabbinical, which is old jewish religious text and apocryphal writings, the names of satan (adversary) are many. just as his forms are different, so is the source of him, remember that the adversary is both of darkness and light and uses elements of both in accordance with his will. belial as the name of the adversary in recent times been considered different from satan, old gri

n the trans-cultural manifestation of the adversary throughout time. belial is held in hasidic traditions as being identified as a manifestation of satan, specifically in the ascension of isaiah belial is called beliar and is considered the same as samael, called malkira or malak ra the angel of lawlessness or angel of evil. this name is sammal malchira and is a manifestation of angro mainyush or ahriman. in the ascension of isaiah, belial is called beliar; for the angel of lawlessness, who is the ruler of this world and is called mantanbuchus or ahriman. in another text, belial has seven spirits of deceit which emanate from his being, that is they are connected with his existence. in the testaments of the twelve patriarchs the seven demons are identical to the archdaevas of ahriman. what

int follows a specific hebraic consideration that belial, being beli ol is the one who has thrown off the yoke of heaven and is thus without a master. the luciferian finds connections in the path of history and mythology and seeks to make them work for he or she in the modern world. the spirit of belial is of the mastery of the earth, identified with the element of earth and the north, from which ahriman is identical. consider the four elements however and their association with the adversary as a spirit of self-deification and self-mastery. samael is known in the talmudic texts as being the same as satan, the chief of evil spirits who is known as the venom of god. samael is said to have twelve wings rather than the six of normal angels, a favored assumption. as the angel of death, samael

to suit whatever they need it for, such is known as a mild case of chaos magick and thus may be useful. the luciferian knows the importance of discipline, if you build yourself in the image of the adversary with the traits associated with, the adept will truly be a god upon this earth. lilith, known as the queen of demons, a bestial body with a sometimes beautiful appearance, was called mother of ahriman and is related to blood sucking vampiric demons and other night spirits. lilith is one half of the adversary is there were, is truly a satanic or luciferian source of self-mastery and strength. lilith is said to howl at the head of 480 companies of demons, having sometimes appearance with a chariot guided and backed by demonic spirits. lilith is the fiery aspect of ahriman or samael and sh

having sometimes appearance with a chariot guided and backed by demonic spirits. lilith is the fiery aspect of ahriman or samael and should be considered equal to the fallen angel. in ancient non-zoroastrian writings, m.n. dhalla makes reference to the early hippolytus who wrote that there was a dualistic religion, the father being light and darkness being the mother. with this in consideration, ahriman no doubt was a manifestation of the androgynous primal dragon tiamat, which ahriman and az emerged from later. in the ancient writings of jacob and isaac hacohen of segovia castile, samael and lilith were born by an emanation beneath the throne of glory in the form of a double-faced androgynous angel, said to be in the form of the one above. lilith has a long history and a background in al

iation twists and makes a predator of the one who enters the religion of sorcery. ahriman becomes viable through the adept just as az or jeh does. some initiates of the modern path of yatuk dinoih choose a specific daeva to work with, one to cultivate and empower through their own initiation. this proves a useful point to which one may gain insight. tarik den afraj-pedak is the dark hell of which ahriman dwells partially. it is mentioned in the bundahishn that the darkness is so thick one may seemingly cut through it with a knife. ahriman is said to have much heat within him, however cold and darkness surrounds him. as with initiation, one enters the darkness which others fear to emerge bearing the same fire of which az stirs up. the five flames of ahriman are described in depth in liber h
