BEHOLDERS OF NIGHT

nn of the noon tide sun, the fire of spirit later withdrawn in midnight honor. moon hungering shade of the tomb, i summon thee! from beneath the city of chorazin have your rested, yet though i go forth to the city of shadows, i embrace the darkness within and beyond! from nox umbra by michael ford the essence of perpetual revolution, or rebellion from the natural order, is the very concept of the opposer. to oppose one must seek to free the self from the limits set within society s context and rules. this is not an advocating of crime, but rather to work within still societies rules, mastering it all along. the true will is the essence of the adversary, which seeks to break free from the accepted order, an often unfertile result of the dayside world of the humanistic fellowship, which in t

on from the order of the right hand path. the adversary exists within the 8 pointed sabbat star of chaos, called often algol. the very essence of chaos is disruption and the opening of possibility, that we may destroy that which hinders ourselves and thus creating a new form of order. order exists until the self grows into stasis, thus chaos then grows into a positive self-liberation process. the opposer/adversary thus holds the black flame of being within chaos, that we are both the red and black dragon, the sun and the moon respectively. evolution itself is possible when the mind reaches back to the primal well of darkness, which holds the secrets of our origins and luciferic divinity, from then liberation is an available process of the divine gift. iii) saturn, the watchers and luciferi

DIABOLUS

ragon king from persian mythology called zohak, an original son of satan. the black triangle by more common knowledge is related to the concentration of will to evoke the daemon of man and woman, to uplift and envenom their spirit with the adversarial gnosis (an illustration is found in the paitisha. it must be considered appropriate that we explore the traits and descriptions of the adversary or opposer from a historical and mythological standpoint as well as from a practitioners own viewpoint. this will present the very need of imagination within magick itself, an essential ingredient to successful sorcery. while i am limited to encircling and crystallizing the finer points of the various forms of the adversary, i by no means have presented the entire spectrum of the opposer in praxis of

lucifer and lilith in their various forms throughout time, with inclusion to modern magicians such as charles pace, aleister crowley, nathaniel harris, anton szandor lavey, myself and others within the fire of the adversary. it must be understood that what is firstly considered the devil is only a cipher towards which lies within; that looks are deceiving and thus a test to the nature of both the opposer and the sorcerer within the context of relation. by passing through the darkness is a light revealed brighter than all others. beginning with the foundations of the adversary in the form of the egyptian set are we able to firstly understand that his force, while averse is indeed a necessary and 3 significantly important to the balance of nature in both a natural and supernatural sense. the

beginning with the foundations of the adversary in the form of the egyptian set are we able to firstly understand that his force, while averse is indeed a necessary and 3 significantly important to the balance of nature in both a natural and supernatural sense. the shadow holds substance which bears the fruit of knowledge from the practitioner who is daring enough to taste it. set is the original opposer or adversary, whose form captivated and later frightened those who dare stand against him. the persian foundation of averse practice is found in some satanic lore written by zoroastrian priests. ahriman, the prince of darkness in that regions lore is the initiator of the shadow practice of sorcery, thus cannot be judged within a spectrum of the zoroastrian religion this gnosis is other and

f the dead the egyptian mythology of gods and powerful deities is perhaps history s most elaborate and evasive within the conception of their opposing powers. the egyptian god of chaos and storms, set, called also sutekh, set-heh or seth-an was revered in the 3rd millennia b.c. and forward, originally as a positive force of movement and foreign lands. it was later on that set became a form of the opposer, with red being a sacred color and his minions being actual demons who tested or destroyed others. set was commonly perceived as a god of war, who taught some pharaohs the art of shooting the bow and arrow, etc. the egyptian book of the dead presents set as the lord of the northern sky, who is over storms, cold weather and darkness. set was perhaps the most significant egyptian god in that

nts night and strengthening the self, and also the opposite which set purifies and horus strengthens. set is also considered in the egyptian book of the dead, to be the greatest of all the gods, as it is sethan who has mastered the dragon of chaos apep and it now serves him and became part of his essence. sethan as he is often called is considered the most ancient yet distinctly clear form of the opposer and adversary. charles pace (born 1920 date of death currently unknown, the obscure luciferian called himself a satanist or a setanist, and was a priest of set and anubis in a well known witchcraft coven in london under gerald gardner, a former student of aleister crowley. charles pace was known as hamar at and was a mortician by trade. his primary expression was art in which he painted mo

while what is one to an individual may be different to another? here we see the transformative state of satan from angel to then demon, thus he embodied both light and shadow within his own essence; he was dual headed. peter lamborn wilson, in his essential article on the middle eastern origins of satan25 provides a powerful study of the foundation and survival of perhaps the original idea of the opposer. wilson describes adi ibn musafir who is also known as shaykh adi, who was originally from lebanon. the shaykh traveled to baghdad and studied along other well known sufis. later on after 1100 a.d. adi traveled to lalish (iraq) and founded a religion based on melek tauus, or malek ta us, the peacock angel. the yezidis as they were called were the descendants of adi, and were considered her

section provides a powerful symbolism which stretches beyond the predicament of constipation. while god created mankind, he only held limited facilities. melek ta us came unto adam and suggested that he eat of the sacred fruit. this wisdom as he offered would open adam s eyes to his own black light, the gift of iblis. it was azazel who by offering knowledge to adam and eve was by all accounts the opposer, the adversary who by aversion and a different point of view opened the mind and soul to the black flame of shaitan, that which is self-knowledge and perception. then he was wroth with the pearl which he had created, wherefore he cast it away: and from the crash of it were produced the mountains, and from the clang of it the sand-hills, and from its smoke the heavens. then god ascended int

e mentioning of not permitting strangers in looking upon the book provides a central idea as to the nature of the path itself it is separate, antinomian and isolate. that the path of iblis is one of inversion from the natural order of the objective world around us, it actually is a step away from the concepts of blending in with the spiritual normality of the herd. it is also to be noted that the opposer or adversary is the imagination of the illuminated, melek ta us and his chosen are but those who recognize the black light within. that by affirming this path, of antinomianism through the image of shaitan or satan, the individual via imagination becomes a child of melek ta us. i was, and am now, and will continue unto eternity, ruling over all creatures and ordering the affairs and deeds

wherein it dries up all need of blind faith and pointless regard. faith is one which truly comes from a willed desire of belief, thus creates truth from the foundation therein. at the end of this study i must ask, what has been learnt of the adversary within the practice of magick? is the adversary valid within modern times from the early foundations? with reference to the practice of magick, the opposer is the core column which supports all others; it is needed and those who are able to look past the sterile gods and goddess of mere sunlight may then grasp the dual ecstasy of the adversary, of both the sun and the moon. magick is the gift of iblis, and must be respected as such unless the soul becomes devoured by its own weakness. with reference to the second question concerning modern ti
