tten by shaykh adi, describes the foundation of azazel as the black light or hidden way of the path against all others- in the beginning god created the white pearl out of his most precious essence; and he created a bird named anfar. and he placed the pearl upon its back, and dwelt thereon forty thousand years. on the first day, sunday, he created an angel named 'azazil, which is ta'us melek("the peacock angel, the chief of all. the black book it is presented here that ta us melek is the foundation of independent energy, motion and progression. in no mentioning of the black book is satan considered to be a negative force, rather a misunderstood power which can reside in each human being who can recognize what azazel is. 25 iblis, the the black light satanism in islam, published in gnosis m

whose creation was as one lighteth a lamp from another lamp. the black book while the foundations of iblis differ from culture to culture, there is a specific correlation of the essence of azazel, being fire. while melek ta us is the chief angel over all he is considered to be created of a higher intellect than the other angels. that by the essence of flame, of which motion is always present, the peacock angel does not remain the same. it is by this principle that he changes through us as we become something else. the key to this is the imagination itself. peter lamborn wilson made reference to a text by aziz ad-din nasafi26 which referred to satan or iblis as the imagination. it is because of the imagination that he refused to be prostrate before mankind, as fire was superior to clay. whi

of gemini is generally represented as two small children, who, according to the ancients, were born out of eggs, possibly the ones that the bull broke with his horns. the stories concerning castor and pollux, and romulus and remus, may be the result of amplifying the myths of these celestial twins. the symbols of gemini have passed through many modifications. the one used by the arabians was the peacock. two of the important stars in the constellation of gemini still bear the names of castor and pollux. the sign of gemini is supposed to have been the patron of phallic worship, and the two obelisks, or pillars, in front of temples and churches convey the same symbolism as the twins. the sign of sagittarius consists of what the ancient greeks called a centaur--a composite creature, the lowe

habitat was among the branches of the sacred trees in the hearts of ancient forests, birds were also regarded as the appointed messengers of the tree spirits and nature gods dwelling in these consecrated groves, and through their clear notes the gods themselves were said to speak. many myths have been fabricated to explain the brilliant plumage of birds. a familiar example is the story of juno's peacock, in whose tail feathers were placed the eyes of argus. numerous american indian legends also deal with birds and the origin of the various colors of feathers. the navahos declare that when all living things climbed to the stalk of a bamboo to escape the flood, the wild turkey was on the lowest branch and his tail feathers trailed in the water; hence the color was all washed out. gravitatio

SATANIC RITUALS

counts of the performance of l'air epais ultimately strengthened the charges of king philip iv of france in his campaign to abolish the rich order, which was banished in 1331. the templars had been exposed to the dualistic concepts of the yezidis in the near east they had seen pride glorified and life praised as never before, when they entered the courtyard of the serpent and the sanctuary of the peacock, where indulgence became tantamount to greater power. as a result, they developed what was destined to become one of the most significant rites of satanism. martyrdom, once believed desirable, was considered with disgust and ridicule, and fierce pride was to become the templars' last image to the world. the philosophy of sheik adi and the yezidis, applied to the already acquired wealth and

ine orthodoxy. volos suffered the indignity of being turned into a barnyard watchman and simple shepherd, and was assigned the new name of st vlas. volkh, the werewolf king, was the personification of sorcery, and was called upon by pagan russians to defend their land in times of need. the cult of kupala worshipped the magical powers of water. the fern, sacred to the followers of kupala, like the peacock of the yezidis, possessed power over riches, beautiful women and wisdom. the cult of larilo refused to die out even as late as the eighteenth century, when the bishop of voronezh abolished its practices, which included organized festivities and "satanic games" iarilo, the russian equivalent of pan, provided fecundity and was particularly honored in spring during the initial sowing. zorya

entered their temples through portals bearing the images of a lion, snake, double sided axe, man, comb, scissors, and mirror. the lion represented strength and dominion; the snake, procreation; the axe, potential for good or harm; the man, the god; and the comb, scissors and mirror represented pride. but greater as a symbol of pride, however, was the form taken by satan in the yezidi liturgy-the peacock. because they could not utter the name of satan (shaitan) for fear of persecution, the name melek taus (peacock king) was used. so great was the risk of outside persecution, that even words that sounded vaguely like the name satan were forbidden. the vestiges of yezidi culture that remain today have, as might be expected, met with not only maudlin "understanding" but, worse yet, attempts t

sickeningly charitable form of acknowledgment from theologians. it is now patronizingly asserted that the yezidis were "actually noble and highly moral people" and therefore could not actually have worshipped the devil! it is difficult to assess this as anything other than the most blatant form of selective inattention! each time an important yezidi ritual was to take place, a brazen figure of a peacock (called a sanjak) was removed from a secret hiding place by a priest and carried to the temple. it was placed on a pedestal around which a running spring of water played into a small pool this served as the shrine and icon towards which homage was directed. the water supposedly came from an underground stream which flows through subterranean caverns in a network opening under each tower of
