choed by a few in the occult, is that the ancient ones are chained in darkness, and that there is a certain celestial radiation arriving from space that is utterly toxic to these titans. there is a day coming, however, when the rays of the stars will no longer be toxic to the old ones, and this day will be marked by some kind of rare astronomical event. after this event in the sky, the wicked godazag-thoth, also called hades and pluto, will free and lead the titans out of their prison. the blackmagicians also have a long list of titles for lilith, and have much reverence for her because she is among those who give them the dark gift of transformation. among these titles are: queen of the qliphoth, queen of the underworld, queen of the dead, queen of the vampires, queen of the sabbat, que
