nar mattaru, the great underworld ocean, and also as cutha or kutu as it is called in the enuma elish (the creation epic of the sumerians. the phonetic similarity between cutha and kutu and chthonic, as well as cthulhu, is striking. judging by a sumerian grammar at hand, the word kutulu or cuthalu (lovecraft's's cthulhu sumerianised) would mean "the man of kutu (cutha; the man of the underworld; satan or shaitan, as he is known to the yezidis (whom crowley considered to be the remnants of the sumerian tradition. the list of similarities, both between lovecraft's creations and the sumerian gods, as well as between lovecraft's mythos and crowley's magick, can go on nearly indefinitely, and in depth, for which there is no space here at present. an exhaustive examination of crowley's occultis

atonement that they accepted it without going to the roots of the matter. but this vagueness was not to the liking of the early christian fathers. in the second century a.d, irenaeus, and after him other writers, explained the doctrine by what is called the `ransom theory' which states that the devil was lawful lord of mankind owing to adam's fall, and that god, being unable with justice to take satan's subjects from him without paying a ransom for them, handed over his own incarnate son in exchange."27- 121- from bethlehem to calvary copyright 1998 lucis trust in this thought we have a definite demonstration of the way in which all ideas (intuitively perceived and infallibly right) are distorted. men's minds and preconceived notions colour them. the idea becomes the ideal, and serves a u

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 seeming l

the esoteric meaning of this is "earth fallen into generation, or into the production of its species through sexual union" but the later western nations did not fail to give quite a different interpretation. they explained this sign through their mystics- guided by the light of the latin church- as meaning that our earth and all on it were redeemed by the cross, while venus (otherwise lucifer or satan) was trampling upon it. venus is the most occult, powerful, and mysterious of all the planets; the one whose influence upon, and relation to the earth is most prominent. in exoteric brahmanism, venus or sukra- a male deity- is the son of bhrigu, one of the prajapati and a vedic sage, and is daitya-guru, or the priest-instructor of the primeval giants. the whole history of "sukra" in the pura

e is nothing holy. it has been said that man creates god in the image of himself and the devil in the image of his enemy. god is, it is remarked, a projection of man s ego. the satanist says, why worship a god someone else has created, and which represents someone else s ego, when you can recognize a god of your own creation a god which has your best interests at heart. the satanic view considers satan as an archetype, a symbol of carnality as opposed to spirituality. the satanist realizes that it is the overpowering fear of death which causes man to create heaven and hell, reincarnation, and all of the other fairy stories which deal with life beyond death. there is only the flesh. satanists, therefore, delight in the pleasures of the flesh and in the joys that this world has to offer, and

directed within the ritual to accomplish the will of the magician. these types of crimes are very rarely ever committed by a satanist for an obvious reason which has nothing to do with moral or ethical beliefs. a satanist cares about what is best for him and would not engage in acts which would jeopardize his freedom or safety. the occasional deviant may commit some horrific crime in the name of satan, but the satanist is no more responsible for the crimes of the sociopath or child molester than a christian is for those of a deviant priest or minister who does the same. while self-interest keeps the satanist from breaking the laws or cultural standards of the society in which he lives, a satanist may question the definition of good and evil and the values and ethics which his society has

il, urine for the wine, and blackened turnip or excrement for the host. during the course of the mass, the defrocked priest was said to copulate with the woman serving as the altar. sometimes the priest inserted holy wafers into the vagina of the woman before copulation. sometimes the copulation was anal. the words of the ritual were read backwards or distorted by replacing "god" with "devil" or "satan" the sign of the cross was made backwards. one entertaining account claims that the mass was celebrated by a talking goat who read from a missal bound in wolf's skin. the general principle of the black mass is that the mass of the church should be inverted. whereas the regular mass is intended to do good, the black mass was celebrated to do evil. for example, in the court of the french king

ack mass was ever celebrated earlier than the late 17th century. prior to this period, sorcerers occasionally used the ritual forms of the church for their own purposes, to accomplish desired goals by their magic. when the purposes were evil, the ritual practices sometimes involved the perversion and defilement of catholic religious practices. however, the black mass as a celebration or homage to satan or the antichrist is a relatively modern activity. it was performed in the french royal court, and probably in england by members of the hell-fire club. possibly it was also done in the russian royal court. it is unlikely that black masses were ever used in the rituals of the knights templar, even though the knights were accused of trampling and spitting on the cross. black masses formed a p

DONALDTYSON CORONZON

in the book of enoch in connection with the fallen watchers who sin with the daughters of man, where these four archangels are primary servants and agents of god's judgement. it is clear from the words of gabriel to john dee that coronzon is to be regarded as synonymous with the serpent described in genesis. this serpent is almost always treated as the same as fallen lucifer, later to be known as satan, the archangel who led a rebellion in heaven, and for this crime was cast down by god into an abyss or pit. curiously, in gabriel's account of the fall of man, adam's name is not used, and eve is not mentioned in any way. we might regard gabriel's references to man as signifying mankind or the human race, which would imply more than two human beings in the garden at the time of the fall. the

n christians, upon the good spirits whom they affirmed to exist, and to take a part in the affairs of men. as a warning to the curious, there will be an attempt, in this essay, to elucidate the ideas respecting the devil and beings who are of an evil nature, who may have an evil and malicious effect on human life and progress.thechristian religion has inherited from the jewish faith its belief in satan as the arch devil of our environment, and it is also assumed that satan works by means of his inferior malefic assistants, to lead many astray from the path of virtue.ourmodern christianity does not, however, specify names for any other individual devils, nor even classes of them, as did the old jewish rabbis. hebrew rabbinic theology teems with names of evil spirits, classing them, and narr

sition to god, but in the later volumes that idea takes form.thecaptivity of the jews seems to have tainted their faith, and the influence of the persian dualism became then apparent. in the book of job there is a definite attribution to an evil spirit of132themagical masona power to contest with god for influence over man.thenotion is further extended in the prophecies of zechariah.fromthat time satan became not only an adversary of divine powerbutwas acknowledged as the 'tempter. ahrimanes was the name of the persians for the great evil spirit, and he seems to have been a type of physical evil becoming moral evil.thejewish ideal, which was gradually developed from this, and perhaps other notions from different heathen nations, was rather that of a great morally evil being leading men to

ortant role of those who work within the great hierarchy. the complexity of evil the major problem with understanding evil is that there are many forms of evil and these are mixed together. it is especially difficult when cosmological evil is mixed with issues of ethics and personal suffering. while the iconography of evil certainly appears in all cultures, one of the most potent icons is that of satan. it is a difficult image because most people do not appreciate the various motifs which have been woven together to make the one figure. it is quite clear from old and new testament sources (as well as apocryphal texts) that satan meant something very different at various times. these differences have been overlooked within contemporary christianity due to its desire to frighten the sinner i

ite clear from old and new testament sources (as well as apocryphal texts) that satan meant something very different at various times. these differences have been overlooked within contemporary christianity due to its desire to frighten the sinner into salvation. for the esotericist it is imperative to decode these perennial motifs are they solve once and for all the mystery of evil. the image of satan has three primary motifs within it, these can be found in the old testament, apocryphal sources (with some ot/nt references) and within the new testament. these are mirrored in other esoteric traditions, for example, the old testament view of satan as tester is also found in hinduism. these three motifs can be summarised as follows: 1. the satan-saturn complex the illusion of cosmological ev

e, the old testament view of satan as tester is also found in hinduism. these three motifs can be summarised as follows: 1. the satan-saturn complex the illusion of cosmological evil (perceptional dualism) 2. the watchers evil as ignorance (fallen astral forms (temporary dualism) 3. evil as ignorance (ethical dualism) these three models are found quite clearly in different forms of scripture. the satan as tester image is primarily old testament, the watchers are found primarily in the book of enoch (but also referenced subtlety in the ot& nt, the image of satan as bad mind is primarily new testament. these three motifs are found in all aspects of gnostic, essene and christian literature. for example, the demiurge. the demiurge as saturn is not evil but only the harsh school teacher, yet wi

, yet within the watchers the demiurge is desire (pride, uncontrolled lust etc. all fallen spirits are demiurges, all have desire to leave their station and enter earth. while the demiurge in man is the ego. these three different motifs explain the strange amalgam of tales we have throughout the bible about evil which range from the fall of lucifer (light bearer (the watchers, jesus calling peter satan (ethical dualism) and the book of job image of satan as tester. chapter four: the secret of saturn the gnostic handbook page 42 the secret of saturn the darkest aspect of the gnostic tradition is that of dualism. so many people who read about the gnosis accept at face value that the demiurge (or creator) is evil and that matter itself is, if not evil, then a mixture of darkness and light. th

s and the teacher(s) involved. on a cosmological level evil cannot exist, if the great chain of being unfolded from a single principle then everything must have its place and role and to suggest a separate ontologically evil force destroys this balance. so how does evil exist? this paradox is symbolized in the gnostic astrological traditions as the planet saturn. saturn is both sophia, wisdom and satan, the tester. in the old testament satan was not a rival to god but worked within gods court to test and trial the faithful. saturn is hence a dual image and it is to saturn that the title demiurge is usually applied. saturn is also sophia and through ialdaboath matter is created and yet we may ask why was it a sin for sophia to want to know or understand the divine will? it seems clear that

ding the truth of the alpha event is that in the many diverse gnostic and religious traditions this event is presented in so many different ways and via so many different symbol-systems. on one level we may read the high-browed philosophical approach of the greek mysteries, and on the other, we may read about the bloody battle between "the forces of light and darkness" or the literal expulsion of satan from heaven. at first these traditions may seem disparate and it may seem advantageous to jettison one or the other depending on your own level of comprehension. however, if we examine these various traditions in more detail, we may discern a common foundation and come to the realisation that the problem is one of religious or symbolic language rather than truth. when we are teaching childre

to the world of algebra and equations. nobody really considers these two different approaches to be in conflict, we simply realise that a different set of metaphors are being used to explain the same essential truth. in the gnostic tradition the same is undoubtedly true. whether, for example, we speak of an error arising in the divine mind, an opposite appearing as a reflection of the logos or of satan being expelled from heaven, we are simply using different metaphors for the same cosmic event. it seems that many twentieth-century religious movements have become so locked into semantics that they end up arguing about things which are in reality, only different perspectives of the same truth. gnostic theurgy page 15 when we examine the gospels we find ample evidence for different appreciat

-dimensional nature of the universe we need to re-consider our refraction model in the light of the alpha event. when we think back to what 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 m

er, you must be aware that you are now a stranger in a war torn land and the earth is no longer your home. there are many skills you need to develop to deal with this, some as outlined below, are psychic and occult in nature, others are more psychological. both have their place. since the physical world is a fallen kingdom, the demiurge has dominion over it. in the new testament when st.paul says satan is the god of this world, he is speaking literally. it is therefore of no use to expect justice, equality and perfection in our daily lives. while we must fight against injustice and hatred there is a limit- the baseline must be, does it interfere with my spiritual life? it is of no value spending your whole life fighting city hall, and losing your soul. within the fallen world there are man

witches do not go anywhere they don't want to go or do anything they don't want to do. this kind of an approach to living would naturally enrage churchmen who demand strict obedience to their rigid laws and condemn the nonconformers as satanic or evil. actually, there were witches before christianity came along, and although there have always been evil gods in religions in all parts of the world, satan exists only in limited areas. so who would witches be in cahoots with in, say, china? selfish, yes; in league with the devil, no. many similarities can be seen between the attitudes of witches and those people who are successful doing anything. there's a big difference between having things turn out well and having things turn out badly. if you want them to turn out well, you're bound to hav

a byproduct of the civilisation of the roman empire. ireland's civilisation developed along other and more barbaric lines, and so had no opportunity of assimilating the particular phases of that belief which obtained elsewhere in europe. consequently, when the anglo-normans came over, they found that the native celts had no predisposition towards accepting the view of the witch as an emissary of satan and p. 8 an enemy of the church, though they fully believed in supernatural influences of both good and evil, and credited their bards and druids with the possession of powers beyond the ordinary. had this country never suffered a cross-channel invasion, had she been left to work out her destiny unaided and uninfluenced by her neighbours, it is quite conceivable that at some period in her hi

impulse to interminably bother other people, but overcomes it, so that he is not at all concerned with other people apart from his chosen colleagues. for myself, it is much more satanic to have mastered the art of minding my own business, rather than setting myself up to pronounce the fate of other, lesser mortals. again, one can detect the undercurrents of christian impulse in the desire to set satan or lucifer up as gods. here, i will draw the reader s attention to the name of the chapter- the "brotherhood" of lucifer. this reflected the view that one relates with lucifer/satan as elder brethren. thus the aim of satanic ritual (in a broad sense) is to identify the power of satan as one s own power to overcome. satan is then, an ideal type with which the satanist identifies in order to u

tual (in a broad sense) is to identify the power of satan as one s own power to overcome. satan is then, an ideal type with which the satanist identifies in order to unbridle his passions, hone his will, and test his own resolve. lucifer, the light-bringer, is an extension of this power, the power of the intellect or genius through which one refines the expression of one s will. the separation of satan-lucifer into distinct forms is merely a heuristic device which is used as one moves through different states of progression and for focusing particular ritual works. thus, acts of dedication to the dark brother, are ultimately acts of selfdedication. the focus of ritual work as taught by the brotherhood was to progressively identify with the ideal types of satan, lucifer, and lilith until wh

work as taught by the brotherhood was to progressively identify with the ideal types of satan, lucifer, and lilith until what starts off initially as external powers becomes intrinsically identified as springing from within. each type expresses particular characteristics through which the celebrant is able to tap the latent power within himself. thus, on an initial level (the stage of supplicant) satan embodies the power of discipline, lucifer, that of [personal] poise, and lilith, that of abandonment. as the celebrant s own development continues, his relationship with these powers or expressions also changes. one final point i will deal with is the relationship between man and demons. ancient hebraic lore states that mankind is a race of demons, and indeed that when adam fell, he spent 13

e section where he discounts lavey and others as pseudo-satanists, russell characterizes jim jones s people s temple as a satanic group that merely used the name of christianity to disguise its true diabolism as if to imply that no truly christian organization could do anything bad or evil. the problem with this analysis is that western society is long past the stage in its cultural history where satan and satanism can unambiguously be equated with evil. the difficulties inherent in russell s assertion become evident as soon as one entertains its corollary, namely that christ and christianity are by definition good.however positively we might regard christianity, few of us would be willing to characterize the influence of the christian tradition as an unalloyed good. although we might wish

nity, few of us would be willing to characterize the influence of the christian tradition as an unalloyed good. although we might wish we could make such simple, straightforward associations, the fact of the matter is that the cultural images of satanism and christianity we have inherited are complex and ambiguous. we do not have to look any further than everyday speech to perceive how thoroughly satan s sinister associations have been diluted: we live in a world where, without a second thought, we consume deviled ham and devil s food, play devil s advocate, describe certain locations as hellholes, go out and have a devil of a good time, wake up feeling like hell, and so forth. in short, satan has come to represent much more than absolute evil. while satan and his minions sometimes still p

e live or die.we are self-respecting, prideful people we are satanists! anton szandor lavey, the satanic bible xii introduction as representatives of pure evil, our culture has also invested the devil with many positive and attractive traits. a prime example of this is sex: because of the church s traditional aversion to sexuality, the diabolical has come to be associated with sex and sensuality. satan has also been portrayed as a proud, clever, creative nonconformist willing to question the status quo. in the modern world, all of these characteristics are regarded as positive traits, at least theoretically. almost all contemporary images of the devil derive directly or indirectly from the christian tradition. christian diabolism in turn has dual roots in judaism and zoroastrianism. the je

here in the new world, the mythologies of the mayans, aztecs, incas, and native americans is replete with serpent symbolism. hinduism, the prevailing religion of india, is yet another religion whose gods are consistently associated with snakes. in china, and the whole of the orient, the immortal gods are connected to, or described as, dragons and serpents. in islam, the serpent is associated with satan, and demons. in voodoo the gods are again associated with serpents. reptile gods are seen as far east as the pacific islands. no matter what place or age we examine, serpents provide a central theme in that region s mythological tales. serpents are also repeatedly associated with villains. story of the flood [1.3] even more frequent than the themes of serpentine gods is the theme of a global

beside the throne of god, set was once the guarding of the sun god ra. apparently, it was after set s battle with apep, the serpent of chaos, that he became the new villain in the egyptian tales; the first to play this villain role was apep himself. the evil god set kills his benevolent brother osiris, twice; then begins to make war with the seed of osiris, a god named 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. ahrima

who lived after the flood, god sent to man osiris and isis, accompanied by thoth, the incarnation or terrestrial repetition of the first hermes; who taught men the arts, science, and the ceremonies of religion; and then ascended to heaven or the moon. osiris was the principle of good. typhon, like ahriman, was the principle and source of all that is evil in the moral and physical order. like the satan of gnosticism, he was confounded with matter. from egypt or persia the new platonists borrowed the idea, and the gnostics received it from them, that man, in his terrestrial career, is successively under the influence of the moon, of mercury, of venus, of the sun, of mars, of jupiter, and of saturn, until he finally reaches the elysian fields; an idea again symbolized in the seven seals. the

able 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 two concurred in producing man. ormuzd produced, by h

isy of conventional society- a hypocrisy which seemed most directly the legacy of the mainstream western religions. having expressed their anger both ritualistically and intellectually, satanists found themselves confronted with the challenge to build a more perfect world from the ruins of the old. some initial steps were taken, but psychologically, symbolically and organizationally the church of satan was not equipped for this task. tensions arising between the hedonistic/critical and idealistic/ constructive currents in the church served to crystallize, if not to cause the crisis of x/1975 that resulted in the formation of the temple of set. in the temple of set the idealistic/constructive current was immediately the prevalent one, with the satanic current becoming more of a western-cult

kadosh, kadosh, commonly translated as holy, holy, holy is the lord god of hosts, the whole earth is full of his glory. such is the song of creation, and the first and highest emanation of love. according to the book of enoch there are four seraphim, corresponding to the four winds. later commentators have amended this to mean that there are four princes who rule over them. they are; metatron or satan, kemu-el, nathana-el, and gabri-el. 2nd choir: cherubim the hebrew kerub is commonly translated as knowledge, or one who intercedes. they are the first angels mentioned in the bible, stationed by god east of eden the cherubim and the ever turning sword to guard the way to the tree of life. they are described by theodorus, bishop of heraclea, as beasts which might terrify adam from the entran

5th choir: virtues known also as malakim, the dunamis, tarshishim, brilliant ones or shining ones. they are said to bestow miracles and blessings, and are most often associated with heroes and those who fight for what is right. according to the book of adam and eve, two virtues acted as midwives at the birth of cain. their ruling princes are michael, raphael, bariel, tashish, and before the fall, satan-el. 6th choir: powers the dynamis, potentiates and authorities, the first angels created by god. they inhabit the border between the first and second heavens. saint paul warns that the powers may be both good and evil. they act as guides to the soul, and their task is to transform the duality of mundane consciousness into a unity with divinity; see romans 13:1. in occult lore they act as gui

other than enoch himself, transformed in reward for his recording of the angelic lore for humankind into a fiery angel with six times six wings and countless eyes. in this form he is the angelic scribe who records all in the aetheric archives. in gnostic scripture, metatron is identified as the demiurge, the prince of darkness who is the creator of the material universe. thus he is identified as satan, or ha-satan, and as abraxas. the holiness or unholiness of the metatron is undecided, thrown backwards and forwards by the argumenets of theologians, priests, magicians and rabbi. as such it is a most paradoxical name to conjure with. shekinah according to the zohar the creation of the world was the work of the shekinah, who is the female aspect of the metatron. the shekinah was exiled afte

ct of the metatron. the shekinah was exiled after the fall of adam and eve, and according to rabbinical lore the entire purpose of the torah is to lead the shekinah back to god and unite her with him. micha-el originally a chaldean deity, the name micha-el translates as who is as god. along with gabriel he is one of the only two angels actually named in the old testament. it was he who vanquished satan from heaven in single combat. it is also he who will descend from heaven with the key to the abyss and a great chain in his hand and will bind the beast for 1000 years (revelations: 20:1. according to jewish lore it is micha-el who appeared to moses in the midst of the burning bush. he appears again in the burial scene where he disputes with satan the possession of the old patriarch s corpse

e by god. asbeel: god s deserter. it is he who sowed the first seeds of dissention and lead the others astray. azael/azazel: possibly from the babylonian arsiel, who was the demon of the bottomless pit and whose name meant black sun, although usually translated to mean whom god strengthens. he was supposedly the first to descend, and later becomes ibliss. according to rabbinical texts, he is also satan, who refused to bow before the son of clay. with naamah, sister of cain, he fathered azza the strong one, who later revealed the heavenly arcana to solomon. baraqijal: who taught men astrology. exael: who, according to enoch, taught men how to fabricate engines of war, works in silver and gold, the uses of gems and perfumes. ezeqeel: taught the science of meteorology. gadreel: god is my help

his or her own morality. the concept of initiation originates in a non-satanic religious source where initiation is held to be a symbolic transition from one stage to another. the differences occur in the use of symbolism and of dieties. thus in some examples of a satanic initiation the neophyte may undergo a ritual coupling with a temple priest or priestess. this coupling is a symbolic union of satan and his bride baphomet. thus if the neophyte is female, then a priest, representing satan will couple with her, or if the neophyte is male a priestess, representing baphomet, will couple with him. the obvious exception is if the neophyte is gay and then he or she must seek out a relevant sapphic or uranian temple. the individual to be initiated may also undergo tests- both during and previou

the rites of the bacchanalia or dionysiac cults of ancient rome and greece, of which shall be spoken presently. in his book the black arts (pan books ltd. 1967, richard cavendish outlines the proceedings of the witches sabbath. commencing with the witches paying homage to the devil. the witches would light a fire whilst the devil was seated upon a throne in the form of either a goat, representing satan himself, or a dog, which may have been connected with the dark goddess- the dog being one of the sacred animals of hekate- rather than with satan himself. the witches would then approach and adore the devil, though their approach would be in a manner foreign to normal men, such as walking crab-like or with their backs turned to him. after this 'came the offering of the candles to the devil a

after this has been said the rite is concluded with the wafer which, having been consecrated by insertion into the vagina of the female altar, is then cast to the floor and trodden upon. the participants drink from the chalice and the ritual is then officially declared completed. the order of nine angles offer a similar though different tradition concerning the black mass. whilst in the church of satan's black mass, the naked female takes the place of the altar, the black mass of the order of nine angles stipulates that it is a naked male who serves as the altar. three further participants and a congregation complete the number of celebrants. as opposed to the accepted understanding of a black mass where the participants are all adorned in black robes, the three leading participants wear w

e. set became a tremendously unpopular deity. his worship ceased everywhere except the oases and the city of thebes, where his cult was absorbed into the cult of montu, the warlord of thebes. the negative and destructive aspects of isolation and destruction were emphasized and as egypt turned more to an idealized past, set-heh, the god of the void called the future, came to resemble the christian satan. the third blooming came with the coming of the greeks to egypt. it is from this period that the hellenic notions of independence and self-worth began to revive both the operant and initiatory aspects of the new kingdom set cult. the spells in this volume are taken in the main from the third blooming. the success of the graeco-egyptian magic, despite roman persecution, saw an expansion of bo

ls who call themselves satanists. although many self-proclaimed satanists are merely practicing a rather juvenile philosophy created out of adolescent rebellion based on the rejection of the religious beliefs of their parents, others are simply unethical, dysfunctional sociopaths who have little or no regard for others. satanists of the latter sort can safely be defined as individuals who worship satan (the christian entity of evil, invoke evil spirits, and practice harmful (black) magic towards others. thus, satanism is not a life-affirming philosophy, and it should be soundly rejected by any true seeker who wishes to evolve spiritually. for as regardie stated in the tree of life, 241-242 "those who employ such methods [of black magic] should be severely shunned by the theurgist as he wou

els to him thus did michael address them, speaking with words of poisoned nectar "my brothers, who are most beloved to me, woe that i must speak such words as these! how it sorrows my heart that this kingdom of ours should endure to hear me speak these words. rather, i should have it, that the world split asunder than that i must speak this dire report. yet it must be spoken. our dearest brother, satanael, the best of us, he whom we all honour above all others, he who shines most bright amongst us, has betrayed us, our kingdom and our father. with his clever speech and cunning deceit has he blinded our father to his evil, seducing that most great and noble king, worthy of naught but love and fealty, and, serpent that he is, brought low that which is upraised above all. slyly has he spoken

s design and see the truth of both his hand and voice. thus you all are witnesses to his crime, though well he has concealed it. is there one amongst this throng that cannot recall the wyrm's approach, beguiling them with subtle words, inciting them to blasphemous rebellion 11 against the one we love so well and that deserves not such traitorous abuse? we are testaments all and shall all proclaim satanael's awful guilt. for can our father, in his great sagacity, refute the report of all his sons that cry out for justice against such treason? let us then go to him and bring our case before time has run its course to our defeat. gabriel, you are the swiftest of us, fly on before, on gilded wings of wind swifter than a hurricane, and bring this dire report to god before he is yet further wron

your son; forgive my tongue that speaks such ill. i weep that i must speak these words to you, sullying this most noble spire by the sins and wrong of which they tell. how it sorrows my heart that this kingdom of yours should endure to hear me speak these words. rather, i should have it, that the world split asunder than that i must speak this dire report. yet it must be spoken. your dearest son, satanael, the best of us, 14 he whom i honoured above all others, he who shone most bright amongst us, has betrayed us, our kingdom and you. he has fallen from most perfect light into a gulf of darkness without floor. his heart that once nurtured only virtue has been consumed with black evil that itself gives suck to terrible crime. where once was one that deserved love alone now is their one wort

s head in grief, stopping up his ears with his fingers that he might be deaf to the perjury that gabriel brought before him, spoken with unchaste tongue and mind. sorrowful did he shake his head and spoke thus to his monstrous son "my son, my beloved gabriel, deny to this poor father in his grief, who has nought but love for his sons, cherishing them above himself, deny that you have spoken thus. satanael is the best of my sons. 16 none is nobler, brighter or braver than this one accused of terrible crime by the report of your own tongue. above all does he cherish his father and better than any other son does he love with his golden heart. of all brothers, too, is he the best, guiding his younger brethren to virtue and nought but virtue, the truest virtue, in both sage instruction and exam

pure and perfect that might be found. you have, and in my great and fullest wisdom i know not how this has come to pass, misread your brother's speech and wronged him, mistaking virtue for vice and love for hate. you have mistranslated his saintly teaching, hearing demoniacal utterance where it was not spoken. gabriel, my son, you are wrong. the one of whom you have spoken is not my dearest son, satanael" my false brother heard this speech and in mock sorrow shook his head with considered slowness and feigned pain. now he knelt once more before his lord and, clutching his father's ancient hand, gazing with beseeching eyes filled with deceit and darkness, though that blind archon did not see the vice that burned like venom in those once bright and flawless orbs, and implored thus of the pr
