The God-King Scenario

wrapThe key to cosmic chaos lies with one of the most awe inspiring civilisations – the ancient Egyptians. It is centred on the pinnacle of Egyptian society, the divine monarchy of ancient Egypt – the god kings or ‘living gods'. This is the crux of the theory. The God King Scenario (GKS) proposes that in the first instance the monarchs of ancient Egypt were guises of the planets Mars, Venus, Mercury and the Moon each and every time they visited Earth; in the second instance they were represented on Earth via human doubles (kas) who were considered to be ‘at one' with these bodies....

Tartarus

wrapIn classic Greek mythology, below Heaven, Earth, and Pontus is Tartarus, or Tartaros (Greek Τάρταρος, deep place). It is either a deep, gloomy place, a pit, or an abyss used as a dungeon of torment and suffering that resides beneath the underworld. In the Gorgias, Plato (c. 400 BC) wrote that souls were judged after death and those who received punishment were sent to Tartarus. As a place of punishment, it can be considered a hell. Like other primal entities (such as the earth and time), Tartarus is also a primordial force or deity.

Mandrake (plant)

wrapMandrake is the common name for members of the plant genus Mandragora belonging to the nightshades family (Solanaceae). Because mandrake contains deliriant hallucinogenic tropane alkaloids such as hyoscyamine and the roots sometimes contain bifurcations causing them to resemble human figures, their roots have long been used in magic rituals, today also in neopagan religions such as Wicca and Germanic revivalism religions such as Odinism. (It is alleged that magicians would form this root into a crude resemblance to the human figure, by pinching a constriction a little below the top, so as to make a kind of head and neck, and twisting off the upper branches except two, which they leave as arms, and the lower, except two, which they leave as legs.)

Cultus Sabbati : Provenance, Dream and Magistry

wrapThe Sabbatic Craft is a name for a Nameless Faith. It is a term used to describe an ongoing tradition of sorcerous wisdom, an initiatory path proceeding from both immediate vision and historical succession. In a historical sense, the Sabbatic Craft is usefully set against the background of both rural British folk-magic, the so-called Cunning-craft, and the learned practices of European high ritual magic. The medieval and early modern magical observances of cunning-men and wise women were broad and varied in form, but invariably rooted in pragmatic deeds of healing, love-magic, wortcunning, curing and cursing. Where the practices of cunning-folk overlapped with those of the high ritual magic traditions, the calling of angels, the apparatus of astrology, and Latin incantations were integrated into the magic of the everyday.

The Meaning of "Evil"

wrapWithin many of the texts, rituals and invocations that are used in the Satanic tradition, Satan is praised as the 'Lord of Evil', but "evil" seems to be portrayed as something 'good'. In order to understand this exaltation of 'evil' we need to first determine what it is that we, within the dark tradition, mean by the word 'evil' when the term is used as a positive denomination. As Satanists and Chaosophists, we place ourselves above and beyond all moral illusions and constrained ethical values that the ruling, demiurgic/archonic world order uses in order to enslave and keep the subhuman cattle in check. Thus words like good and evil actually have no static meaning for us and must be understood as totally relative terms that only can express subjective values. But we also understand that while we ourselves view the meanings most often associated with these words as illusory and as the mental programming of enslavement, there are still billions of people that let their empty lives become controlled by the significance they have been brainwashed to attribute to these words.....

Andrew Chumbley

wrapAndrew D. Chumbley (September 15, 1967-September 15, 2004) was an English practitioner and theorist of magic, and a writer, poet and artist. He was Magister of the legendary UK-based order of sabbatic witches, the Cultus Sabbati.[2] Chumbley published several limited edition books through his private press Xoanon Publishing, and had many articles printed in occult magazines. Their subject was the doctrine and practice of a tradition of sorcery which he called 'Sabbatic Craft', a term which, according to Chumbley, "describes the way in which elements of witch-lore, Sabbath mythology and imagery were being employed in the cunning-craft tradition into which I was originally inducted".

The Pentagram

wrapThe ancient Pythagorean pentagram was drawn with two points up and represented the doctrine of Pentemychos. Pentemychos means "five recesses" or "five chambers", also known as the pentagonas — the five-angle, and was the title of a work written by Pythagoras's teacher and friend Pherecydes of Syros.[7] It was also the "place" where the first pre-cosmic offspring had to be put in order for the ordered cosmos to appear. The pentemychos is in Tartaros, also known as "The Gates of Hell". In very early Greek thought, Tartaros (or Chaos, according to Hesiod) was the primordial Darkness from which the cosmos is born. While it was locked away after the emergence and ordering of the cosmos, it still continued to have an influence. In fact, it was known as "the subduer of both gods and men" (Homer), and it was from this that the world got its "psyche" (soul) and its "daimon".

Demonology

wrapDemonology is the systematic study of demons or beliefs about demons. Insofar as it involves exegesis, demonology is an orthodox branch of theology. It is the branch of theology relating to superhuman beings who are not gods. It deals both with benevolent beings that have no circle of worshippers or so limited a circle as to be below the rank of gods, and with malevolent beings of all kinds. It may be noted that the original sense of "demon," from the time of Homer onward, was a benevolent being; but in English the name now holds connotations of malevolence. Demonology, though often referred to with negative connotation, was not always seen as evil or devilish as the term would have one believe.

Commentary on the Seal of the Nine Angles

wrapGenerally speaking, some of these angles were taken from Pythagoras, who talked in terms of the significance of 'numbers" rather than "angles. From my readings on the subject, I am convinced that Plato's discourses upon geometry and the significance of the various "Platonic solids" are essentially taken from Pythagoras' work, just as Pythagoras came up with these notions following his lengthy stay in Egypt as a priesthood initiate. Fascinating how these "trails" just keep going backward until they vanish into the mists of pre-recorded history. Bear in mind that the Ceremony of the Nine Angles was composed within the conceptual and iconographic limits of the Age of Satan.

Jozef Rulof

wrapJosephus Gerhardus Rulof was a Dutch author who was known as a psychic and trance medium or spirit medium. He wrote about thirty books about life, death and the hereafter. Rulof claimed to be the greatest medium ever and that nobody would ever surpass him. The next great medium would be the "Direct Voice Apparatus" (DVA), a technical device that would enable us to communicate directly with the spirit world. The DVA would be based on another device (which would be invented earlier than the DVA) to make all diseases disappear.

The Insider

wrapSomething fascinating happened on a forum in a span of a few days and it has caused quite a stir in certain parts of the Internet. A person by the moniker of “Insider” claimed he was from a ruling bloodline and gave the people a chance to ask everything they wanted and Insider would answer. At first it looks like another internet hoax, some lightweight questions were followed by lightweight answers, but then things started changing drastically. Anyone who understands dialectics knows that the answers Insider gave were designed to force/provoke others to ask questions which went to the core of the matter. First some questions are being asked by Insider like "Are you really living on the planet you think you are?" which made people react differently than before. The answers this person started giving to those following questions showed a deep, broad understanding of philosophy, history, metaphysics, religion, magic, politics, and more in a way which is very innovative, detailed and some answers are thought provoking to say the least.

The Qliphoth

wrapQliphoth, meaning "peels", "shells" or matter, and (sometimes the primeval "husks" of impurity) refer to the representation of evil forces in the mystical teachings of Judaism (such as in the Kabbalah.) All Judaic interpretations of the qliphoth agree they are the cause of evil and suffering. A Hasidic view states that in the process of creation, ten sephiroth were created, each encapsuled by a qliphah. The ten sephiroth are thought to be ten divine "enumerations" or "emanations" of God into the universe. The first set of ten qliphoth proved too weak to hold the emanating force, and the lower seven of them broke. They were replaced, but the broken former set, animated by a residue of the creative power of God, remained and conflicts with those aspects of the world corresponding to the lower seven sephiroth.

Theistic Satanism

wrapTheistic Satanism, also known as Traditional Satanism, is the belief that Satan is an actual deity or force worthy of reverence or worship. Within Theistic Satanism there are a wide variety of beliefs. Their concept of Satan is not based on the works of Anton LaVey, whose Satanism is not the worship of Satan but a form of individualism using Satan as a symbol of man living in accordance with his nature. Both types of Satanist may believe in magic, and use ritual, but Theistic Satanists also believe in Satan as an independent agent. Theistic Satanists may consider their forebears to include figures such as La Voisin. Some Theistic Satanists claim to have been born into a generational or familial tradition of Satanism.

Zodiacal Magic

wrapZodiacal magic is one of the most sophisticated and significant forms of ritual that an aspiring magician can undertake.  The skills needed to perform the rituals smoothly and consciously, aware of the inner as well as outer meanings of the symbols used, represents almost half a decade or more of study in many instances.  Personal and professional obligations aside, the required preliminaries for performing an invocation of Zodiacal force are knowledge of the Lesser and Greater Pentagram Rituals, both of which require a minimum of one year each of regular study.
