group soul develops, it grows, gathering more experience, branching into other time lines, like the universe in its phase of expansion. this event occurs for thousands of years. then, similar to the universe, the group soul enters a phase of contraction where all experiences are eventually distilled into one form, occupying a single time line. the incubation process leading to the birth of a new daemon begins. knowledge and conversation of the holy guardian daemon boisterous fools have written volumes on that which they know nothing of. aiwass will clarify, laying arguments to rest; the holy guardian daemon or angel, if you prefer, represents the oversoul or collective wisdom of the group soul during its human phase of evolution- nothing more, nothing less! the term "daemon" can be mislea

er, represents the oversoul or collective wisdom of the group soul during its human phase of evolution- nothing more, nothing less! the term "daemon" can be misleading because the oversoul has not yet entered the daemonic phase of incubation. and yet, the initiate may still benefit from the wisdom of his guardian. the most direct method of acquiring knowledge and conversation of the holy guardian daemon is through the assumption of godform. let's examine this process; daemons or godforms behave as energy amplifiers/equalizers because they interact on a certain frequency or resonance unaffected by a cosmic buffer. at no time does the magician share consciousness with the deity he affixes his mind to. what the initiate is really doing is tuning his awareness to the godform's resonance. this

man, so i warn him that man shall destroy him on earth as he shall finally in heaven itself. for messiah knows not this force which he dares to test, and the laws of god shall be as playthings in the hands of the creature he now debases. and thus was decided the meeting of satan and messiah upon earth, which was to determine the future of man. the statement of abaddon i am abaddon the destroyer, daemon of temporal death and life in death, who was formed amidst the fury of the great war, and who was summoned again by satan to challenge uriel on earth for the future of man. for satan looked with mounting wrath upon the afflictions of uriel, and he said to me, no longer can this remain the plight of man alone. indeed we shall cause heaven to suffer as earth itself suffers. repair now to eart

of god. and rome itself was humbled before this church, and i struck down the eternal city in its pitiful decay. but azazel came to me and said, touch not this church of god, for as man in his foolishness hath nurtured it, so must man himself destroy it of his own decision. the statement of asmodeus attend now to me, for i am asmodeus, who train the mind in recognition and comparison, and who am daemon of science and judgment. for when satan had first touched the mind of man, he called in hell a council and said, the moment is a solemn one, for we have chosen to pass to man our knowledge. many skills shall we all teach him, each in his own fashion, but in three arts must he be well schooled, for the ways of his future lie within their synthesis. thus it is that i call first upon asmodeus

now achieve in concert what he could not alone, and he created his languages and brought into being the first nations of earth. but with structure came tyranny and ruthlessness, and i saw that what skills i might teach would be as a two-edged blade, having power both for and against man. and i was beset by confusion and doubt, and so sought again the counsel of satan. am i, who am myself the true daemon of judgment, not to indulge in my own art? i said. may man not know but thereference of system and order and not their abuse? but satan answered, would asmodeus then lighten for man the challenge before him and so lessen the strength of will that he must attain to conquer uriel? i would not, for then would we yield to our own pleasure, and man should become the plaything of hell as well as

enture and achievement to man, but each gift was as well a tool for destruction and death, and more oft than not were the ages of man fraught with terror and war, for uriel ceased not his work ever to turn man against man. and i knew that asmodeus alone should not complete man, but that forces other than mine should approach the definition of his infinity. the statement of astaroth astaroth am i, daemon of senses, who by satan was charged to complement the sciences of asmodeus, for satan said, as i have given man awareness of himself, asmodeus shall teach him knowledge of his world and of the universe. but to what avail would this awareness and knowledge be without admiration for and appreciation of these things? i said, indeed, were man to have no emotion within him, he would incline to t

create his own order independent of all external imposition. and not until he masters this power may he aspire to the end of his satanic evolution. and as man turns now in first comprehension and cautious exploration of this new direction of his will, so astaroth concludes the synthesis with asmodeus. the era of our companionship with man draws to a close, and to earth is now come the third great daemon of the bond between hell and man, and with his presence is the dawn of the satanic age proclaimed. the statement of belial hail, man, who shall bring to the end of the universe the glory of thy satanic will! i am belial, who bring to thee the third great key of hell, by whose power ye shall confound 461 all the laws of heaven and earth. before thee shall chaos fall, and thou shalt wield for

l confound 461 all the laws of heaven and earth. before thee shall chaos fall, and thou shalt wield for thyself the great mysteries of the macrocosmos. i speak to thee of that which is called the black magic, for it is true spawn of that great black flame which first brought thy will to life long ages ago. to council with satan i also was called, and the lord of light said to me, into thy charge, daemon of essence, i give the essence of my own being, the black fire whose power alone can effect creation by force of will. against thee who wield the black magic no law shall stand, and thus i call thee belial, who art one without master. and as i have bequeathed this essence to thee, so let it come finally to man, who shall overcome the great balance and bring to the flame a change, for in sup

given, being 462 subject to the will of the black magus alone. for hell doth bequeath to man his perfect freedom, and such a gift can never be recalled. farewell, 0 man, who art at once child and father of the universe! remember the future which is thine, and know, now and forever, that hell entrusts to thy care the guardianship of the eternal will. the statement of leviathan before god or angel, daemon or man, there was leviathan alone, principle of continuity and ageless existence. by relation and time i have oft been sought, but leviathan shall yield to none other than the final master of the universe. leviathan is the absolute, man, and if thou would presume to realize what neither heaven nor hell may effect, know that when thou behold the presence of leviathan, thy end hath been attai

has, since its time in the spirit world, become greatly elevated in spiritual awareness. the concept of a spirit guide goes back to antiquity. the philosopher socrates (c. 470 b.c.e. 399 b.c.e) furnishes the most notable example in ancient times of an individual whose subjective mind was able to communicate with his objective mind by direct speech stimulus. socrates referred to this voice as his daemon (not to be confused with demon, a fallen angel or a negative, possessing entity. daemon is better translated as guardian angel or muse, and the philosopher believed that his guardian spirit kept vigil and warned him of approaching danger. parapsychologists have suggested that the spirit guide may be another little-known power of the mind which enables the medium s subjective level of consci

will either empower the individual or destroy him or her completely. magick is a blessing and a curse depending on the individual and should be approached cautiously. the ritual of the holy guardian angel azal ucel and the invocation of the adversary are solitary rites to bring the sorcerer in communication with his or her holy guardian angel, the congressus cum daemone, the intercourse with the daemon. this rite was designed from aleister crowley s bornless one, it is essentially a slightly different language with respect to the older rite. these rituals are to prepare the initiate to begin the path of summoning the goetic daemons. given also are complete descriptions of the tools of ceremonial art and why such instruments are used and what they represent to the luciferian. the goetic ci

it is also the sufis who move against the sun9 which brought such practice to the west. in the yatus cult, the darkness must be observed, absorbed and the initiate must be made to move against the path of the natural order. this by means within itself, brings experience from a vague concept of mystery, that flesh which emerges in the heart of the adept. the sorcerer and witch are as the sorcerous daemon ahriman themselves, they stand in both darkness and light, being lords of both horizons. in sufism shaitan was the single angel, who by antinomian acts separated himself against the natural order by refusing to bow before clay which was adam. it was the yezidi tribe, who venerated shaitan in the form of malak tauus, the peacock angel. in the meshaf resh10 it presents azazel as the angel cre

adversarial mythology in magick by michael w. ford introduction the purpose of the following essay is to not only examine masks worn by the fallen angels throughout history as well as to examine the etymology of the spirit of self-liberation and opposition from the praxis of occult thought. the very passing of power in the circle of witchcraft and sorcery is the averse way of bringing into union daemon and man, the intent of the adversary is life and the immortality of the spirit. as luciferian witchcraft and liber hvhi provide a foundation of sorcery which incorporates an interwoven praxis of antinomianism and self-deification, the essential origins of the daemonic feminine and masculine should be further understood by its origins. what is regarded as common knowledge depicts that the lu

f gods have afterwards had to suffer the reproach of vanity and presumption, and impiety and injustice [second explanation of the story] xxv. there is another and a better method which some employ in explaining this story. they assert that what is related of typhon, osiris, and isis is not to be regarded as the afflictions of gods, or of mere mortals, but rather as the adventures of certain great daemons. these beings, they say, are supposed by some of the wisest of the greek philosophers, that is to say, plato, pythagoras, xenocrates, and chrysippus, in accordance with what they had learned from ancient theologians, to be stronger and more powerful than men, and of a nature superior to them. they are, at the same time, inferior to the pure and unmixed nature of the gods, as partaking of t

e gods, as partaking of the sensations of the body, as well as of the perceptions of the soul, and consequently liable to pain as well as pleasure, and to such other appetites and affections, as flow from their various combinations. such affections, however, have a greater power and influence over some of them than over others, just as there are different degrees of virtue and vice found in these daemons as well as in mankind. in like manner, the wars of the giants and the titans which are so much spoken of by the greeks, the detestable actions of kronos, the combats between apollo and the python, the flights of dionysos, and the wanderings of demeter, are exactly of the same nature as the adventures of osiris and typhon. therefore, they all are to be accounted for in the same manner, and
