Foundations of
Black Witchcraft
The suggestions of the foundation of sorcery and
cunning craft is from the earliest legends, memories and mythology
of mankind. Cain who wandered east to the Land of Nod became essentially,
according to the “truth of the circle” the first Satanist
and Witch, whose children beget children and the blood line of
the cunning were born. It is suggested in some Jewish lore that
the daughters of Cain were the ones to seduce or copulate with
the fallen angels, the Watchers.
It is beginning with the Watchers that the balanced
aspects of Angelic and Satanic Magick are found – it is
the very atavistic depths in which this bloodline still rests
deep within our psyche, along with the serpents and Therion-Atavisms
within our flesh. “The Book of Enoch”, translated
from the Ethiopian by R.H. Charles, in the 69th Chapter, presents
the names and therein sorcerous essence of the Luciferian Angels,
who are the very foundation of the Arte of Magick. The mentioned
Watchers who descended again to earth were: Samjaza, Artaqifa,
Armen, Kokabel, Turael, Rumjal, Danjal, Neqael, Baraqel, Armaros,
Batarjal, Busasejal, Hananel, Turel, Simapesiel, Tumael, Turel,
Rumael, and Azazel. These are among the names of the Chiefs of
the Watchers who came into flesh upon the earth. Jeqon led the
others to earth to begin to lust for the daughters of Cain. Asbeel
was said to have given evil council to the Sons of God, being
the Watchers, that they should go forth and copulate with the
daughters of Cain. Gadreel taught unto man, woman and child the
blows of death and creation of armor and weapons. Penemue taught
unto the wise the art of ink and writing, as well as the bitter
and the sweet, good and evil. This is the spirit who gave unto
the Cunning the Book of Arte, which brought forth both Demon and
Angel, those hidden Therionick Forms of Darkness-made-flesh, the
art of lycanthropy. Kasdeja taught men the art of working with
demons and spirits, as well as abortions and the Secret art of
the Noon tide Serpent, Tabaet. The Angelick spirit Kasbeel was
the bringer of the Oath, when he was with the heavens, his name
was known as Biqa.
I seek to mark an emphasis on the eclectic conceptual
ideas of Black Witchcraft within the Circle, that all may arise
from their imaginations the arcana of the Luciferic Spirit, be
it of darkness or light. As the realization of initiatory experience
is known by the individual, there is no longer a sense of emptiness
regarding the ownership and commitment within the heart of the
witch; it is known and believed according to the predilection
of the Adept. The ritual workings found in the “Luciferian
Witchcraft” grimoire and other collections by myself present
actual workings to manifest both infernal and Luciferian spirits
and atavistic shades, that the sorcerer may encircle them within
his or her own arcana of practice. One may make reference as to
foundation by the Goetic Sorcery grimoire, which presents a left
hand path alignment with the 72 Daemons of the Shemhamforasche,
but rather the rituals which prepare the magician for the summoning
and encircling of such spirits. An Invocation of the Holy Guardian
Angel, Azal’ucel, as well as the Invocation of the Adversary
prepare the mental outlook of the magician, that rather than adopting
a Christian dogma, the Daemonic spirit is illumined within through
determined and willed practice. This may also make considerations
for the commitment needed for this path and circle of Luciferian
Witchcraft, that even within workings of light, the witch is becoming
in the Blackened Flame of Azazel (in a sigillic and mantra-spoken
form, Azal’ucel). This is obviously a serious point of introspection
needed by the individual before pursuing, a level of skill which
is almost sensed rather than learned. Here can be understood as
the Calling of Witch Blood of Our Father the Devil, by Cain and
Tubal Cain, Witch Initiator of the Blackened Forge and his Mother
Lilith-Az, does the Initiatic Stream of the Watchers survive.
Those of the Yatu – or Sorcerous Path of Ahriman within
the Circle of ritual evocation, known as Azothoz, does the Therion
– Atavistic shadows emerge from the darkness of flesh. Azothoz
in the lore of the circle represents the Alpha and Omega, being
the Beginnning and End which is also the primal current of the
serpent, or Az – Azhi Dahaka, the Dragon King of Persian
sorcerous lore.
The Great Work as within the model of the Witches
Sabbat proves a challenging and darksome journey wherein the initiate
drinks deep from the Skull Cup filled with the venom’d blood
of Seth-an, who then eats of the Flesh of Abel and whose blood
is offered to his own Angel-Demon, the very essence and representation
of the Great Work itself. The Sabbat as being a dual participation
of both dreaming and ceremonial/solitary ritual is represented
as the fleshing of desire and belief, wherein the arcana of Cain
is revealed to the intiate, where there is no further difference
between the Great Whore Lilith-Az and Samael as the Adversary,
all are one through the expanding and deification of the magician.
In summary the witch becomes a vessel and expression of Ahriman
and his Bride, thus the Circle of Lucifer is complete and the
casting has brought forth Cain, thus the initiate is the first
of Witch Blood and the Skir-hand Gnosis of Shadow and Light.
The very foundations of the Luciferian Witchcraft
gnosis is found in the circle, they very place of summoning which
has the scribed names of Infernal Deific forces, from Azazel to
Ahriman in Ancient Persian Cruciform, to medieval Luciferic sigils
which announce the embodiment of Satanic Power; our very heritage
and spiritual lineage. This article is aimed at enlightening those
who would condemn it first hand without the consideration for
it’s deeper meaning; but it must be known that those who
walk this path are considered cursed and condemned by society,
once you walk the path of initiation, the Devil’s Blood
is within your veins, your very shadow is the darksome dance of
Daemon and Angel, Cain and Lilith.
The ritual of the Sabbat within The Order of Phosphorus
is one which echoes the ancient terms and ideals which describe
the rite. Some seek to leave the flesh at night and fly forth
in spirit to the circle, yet others find ceremonial practice more
to their liking; while others practice in solitary and their imagination
opens forth the gates to the infernal and celestial gathering.
In “Ecstasies: Deciphering the Witches Sabbat” by
Carlo Ginzburg, he describes one rite which the attributes mentioned
hold resonance with not only present practice, but ancient practice
as well. “the devil appeared to them in the shape of a black
animal – sometimes a bear, sometimes a ram. After having
renounced God, faith, baptism and the Church” and goes on
to described horrific rites of cursing. Another section mentions
witches wearing the skin of wolves to transform themselves. This
is a process of atavistic resurgence and is still practiced today,
while in the affirmation of the Devil is a deeper association
to self-deification and the recognition of the conscious mind;
the lycanthropy practiced is the atavistic summoning of the Therion
– shades within the body and mind.
In summary Black Witchcraft can be seen as a rational
and strengthening practice; that dedication requires more than
curiosity and the results and benefits are known to those who
are willing to instinctually dedicate themselves. The current
of Luciferian Sorcery is a powerful and multicultural gnosis;
it speaks to those who may hear it and uplifts those who dare
practice it.
