0ermetic rituals are usuall" un(erta%en b" an in(i)i(ual wor%in' alone or with one assistant/ companion. Thispresent wor% (eals with atanic ceremonial ma'ic%: atanic hermetic an( internal ma'ic% is (ealt with in the boo%

!NAO , A 6ractical 3ui(e to inister 0ermetic +a'ic%!.atanism* in its be'innin's* is all about ma%in' conscious or liberatin'1 our (ar% or sha(ow nature* an( to this en(*

atanic ma'ic% is un(erta%en. atanists belie)e that we are alrea(" 'o(s: but most people fail to un(erstan( this an(

continue to 'ro)el: to others or to a !'o(!. The atanist is prou(* stron' an( (efiant an( (etests the reli'ion of thecrucifie( 'o( foun(e( b" the Na5arene* Heshua. A Na5arene a follower of Heshua1 is afrai( of ("in' an( wei'he((own b" 'uilt an( en)". The reli'ion of Heshua has in)erte( all natural )alues* settin' bac% the course of our

conscious e)olution. atanism* on the contrar"* is a natural epression of the e)olutionar" or !6romethean! ur'ewithin us: an( its ma'ic% is a means to ma%e us 'o(s upon -arth* to reali5e the potential that lies within us all.

atanic ceremonies are a means to en?o" the pleasures of life: the" offer carnalit"* the pleasure of fulfillin' one!s(esires* the brin'in' of material an( personal rewar(s an( the ?o"s of (ar%ness. $ut the" are onl" a be'innin'* a

sta'e towar( somethin' 'reater. It is one of the purposes of a atanic Temple to 'ui(e those Initiates who ma" beintereste( alon' the (ifficult an( (an'erous path which is the se)en fol( wa". Those who (o not wish to follow this

path to A(eptship an( be"on( shoul( simpl" en?o" the man" pleasures which the 6rince of ar%ness offers to thosewho b" a atanic Initiation wish to follow 0is philosoph" of li)in'.

In tra(itional atanism there is an appreciation of the role of women* for atanism at its hi'hest le)el is concerne(

with the (e)elopment of the in(i)i(ual: roles as such are a necessar" part of self,(e)elopment. To be pla"e(*

(iscar(e( an( then transcen(e(. The structure of tra(itional Temples an( the rituals performe( b" those members ofthose Temples reflect this appreciation an( un(erstan(in'. For eample* it is possible an( in(ee( (esirable for a

+istress of -arth to establish an( :: or'ani5e her own Temple unless she herself wishes otherwise* ?ust as it ispossible an( (esirable to celebrate the $lac% +ass usin' a priest* na%e(* upon the altar while the 6riestess con(ucts

The Templeatanic rites are con(ucte( either in an in(oor Temple or in an isolate( out(oor localit" (urin' the hours of

(ar%ness. In(oor Temples usuall" ha)e a static altar* ma(e of either stone or woo(* an( this altar shoul( be set in the-ast. It shoul( be co)ere( b" an altar cloth ma(e of 'oo( 2ualit" material an( coloure( blac%. pon this is wo)en

either an in)erte( penta'ram* the septenar" si'il or the personal si'il of the +aster/+istress or Temple if there isone. #an(le,hol(ers* ma(e of either sil)er or 'ol(* are place( on the altar* one at either en(. $lac% can(les are

usuall" the most emplo"e( althou'h some rituals re2uire the use of other colours.Other can(lehol(ers shoul( be place( aroun( the Temple* since the onl" li'ht use( in the Temple both (urin' rituals

an( at other times shoul( come from can(les. The $lac% $oo% shoul( be place( on an oa% stan( on the altar* thealtar itself bein' of sufficient si5e for an in(i)i(ual to lie upon it.

In(oor Temples shoul( be painte( either blac% or crimson or a combination of the two1* the floor bare or co)ere(

with ru's or carpets of plain (esi'n* either blac% or crimson. When not in use* the Temple shoul( be %ept (ar% an(warm* ha5el incense bein' burne( fre2uentl". A 2uart5 sphere or lar'e cr"stal shoul( be %ept in the Temple* either in

or near the altar: if near* supporte( b" an oa% stan(.

Abo)e the altar or behin( it shoul( be an ima'e or sculpture of $aphomet accor(in' to atanic Tra(ition. $aphometis re'ar(e( b" atanists as a !)iolent 'o((ess! an( is (epicte( as a beautiful woman* seate(* who is na%e( from the

waist up. In her left han( she hol(s the se)ere( hea( of a man. In her other han( she hol(s a burnin' torch. The

se)ere( hea(* which (rips bloo( onto her lower white 'arment* is hel( so that it partiall" obscures her smilin' face.$aphomet is re'ar(e( as the archet"pe of the +istress of -arth* an( the $ri(e of Gucifer.No other furnishin's are present in the Temple. The Temple implements are few in number an( shoul( be either

ma(e or commissione( b" the +aster or +istress. If this is not possible* the" shoul( be chosen b" them with care.The implements re2uire( are se)eral lar'e sil)er chalices* a #ensor or incense hol(ers1* a 2uart5 tetrahe(ron* a lar'e

sil)er bowl* an( the acrificial Jnife which shoul( ha)e a woo(en han(le. These implements ma" be %ept on thealtar if it is lar'e enou'h* or wrappe( in blac% cloth an( %ept in an oa% chest.

No one is allowe( into the Temple unless the" are (resse( in ceremonial robes an( barefoot. The robes are 'enerall"blac% with a hoo(* althou'h some rituals re2uire the use of other colurs. If possible* an ante,chamber shoul( be use(

b" members to chan'e into the ceremonial robes.If an out(oor location is use(* the area shoul( be mar%e( out b" a circle of se)en stones* b" the +aster or +istress.

An out(oor altar is usuall" the bo(" of one of the participants , na%e( or robe( (epen(in' on the ritual an( thepre)ailin' con(itions. The one chosen for this honour lies on an altar cloth* blac% in colour an( wo)en with an

in)erte( penta'ram* the si5e of this cloth bein' not less than se)en feet b" three.#an(les shoul( be place( in lanterns which open on one si(e onl"* this si(e bein' of 'lass which is often coloure(

re(. The participants shoul( %now the area well* since the" shoul( not use an" artificial li'ht of an" %in( inclu(in'

can(les* to 'ui(e them to the chosen site. Neither must an" fires be lit (urin' an" ritual. For this reason the ni'ht of


4/24

the full moon is often chosen

$oth in(oor Temples an( out(oor areas chosen for rituals shoul( be consecrate( accor(in' to the rite of Templeconsecration. When an" ritual of atanic ma'ic% is un(erta%en* no attempt shoul( be ma(e in an" wa" to banish the

ma'ic%al forces , what forces or ener'ies remain followin' a ritual are to remain* since the" (e(icate the area orTemple still further to the powers of ar%ness.

6reparation for &ituals:

The +aster or +istress shoul( chose one member to act as !Altar $rother or ister!. It is the (ut" of this member toensure that the Temple is prepare( , for eample* li'htin' the can(les* fillin' the chalices with wine* incensin' priorto the ritual.

It is the (ut" of the +aster an( +istress to prepare the members for the ritual. This usuall" in)ol)es themassemblin' in robes in the Temple or in an ante,chamber (esi'nate( as a preparation area at least half of one hour

before the be'innin' of the ritual. urin' this perio( the" are to %eep their silence while stan(in'* concentratin' onthe ima'e of $aphomet or some si'il such as an in)erte( penta'ram1 as (ecree( b" the +aster or +istress.

One or se)eral members shoul( be chosen to act as #antor an( instructe( in the proper chantin' of the chants. Othermembers ma" be chosen as musicians , the preferre( instruments bein' tabor or han(,(rum1 or flute.

#eremonial &ituals#eremonial rituals* as 'i)en here* are con(ucte( for basicall" two reasons: to 'enerate ma'ic%al ener'" an( thus(irect that ener'" to achie)e a ma'ic%al 'oal or (esire1 an( for the benefit of the participatin' con're'ation. The

benefits the con're'ation (eri)e from a successfull" con(ucte( ritual of $lac% +a'ic% are man" an( )arie(: thereare the carnal ones* the material ones an( the spiritual ones.

To be successful* a ceremonial ritual must be both (ramatic an( emotional. That is* the ri'ht atmosphere has to becreate( an( maintaine(. The ob?ect is to in)ol)e the emotions of the con're'ation* an( all the man" rituali5e(

elements e.'. the robes an( the can(les1 are a means to ai( this. 0owe)er* the sin'le most important element is thepower of the )oice* whether spo%en* chante(* )ibrate( or sun'.ee the chapter on !+a'ic%al 9ibration! for one

aspect of this.1When "ou are con(uctin' a ceremonial ritual "ou must use the set tets an( chants such as the atanic Our Father*

the iabolus1 as a means of 'ra(uall" wor%in' "ourself into an emotional but still controlle( fren5". It is no use ?ustsa"in' the correct wor(s , the" must be spo%en or chante( with a atanic (esire , an( the emotion once brou'ht must

be sustaine( until the ritual is o)er. This (oes not mean simpl" actin': it means actuall" becomin' the role "ouassume* that of a powerful sorcerer or sorceress. An( this feelin' must be communicate( to the au(ience: b" )oice*

'estures e"es an( so on. #eremonial +a'ic% is an( alwa"s has been an Art* an( to master this Art ta%es practice.0owe)er* "ou an( the person wor%in' as +istress/+aster or 6riestess/6riest1 must alwa"s remain in control of "our

emotions stoppin' ?ust short of possession. This also means that each an( e)er" ritual must be un(erta%en withoutfear or (oubt not e)en unconscious fear or (oubt1 , that is* in the true spirit of atanic pri(e an( master": with an

eultation in the forces con?oure( forth.

In most ceremonial rituals it is one of the tas%s of the con're'ation to aban(on themsel)es to their lusts an( fren5"*but "ou as ceremonial +aster/+istress cannot (o this since "ou must control an( (irect all the ener'ies which are

brou'ht forth )ia the ritual an( the fren5" pro(uce(. It is up to "ou to initiate the emotion in the Temple* to culti)ate

its (e)elopment in the con're'ation* to 'et them to reach a ritual fren5" an( clima. An( then the ener'" must becontrolle( , towar(s a specific ma'ic%al aim or (isperse( b" "ou into the Temple/surroun(in' area an( left to

(issipate/sprea( accor(in' to its nature an( to the 'lor" of the 6rince of ar%ness.

To (irect the ener'"* "ou must before the ritual choose a specific (esire or aim either "our own or as a fa)our toone of the members1. This aim for eample* it mi'ht be to harm a specific in(i)i(ual1 must be enshrine( in both asimple phrase an( a simple )isuali5ation accor(in' to the principles of hermetic ma'ic%. The )isuali5ation shoul( be

of the successful outcome (esire( , howe)er* if this pro)es (ifficult* concentrate solel" on the phrase. This phrase*which shoul( be succinct* shoul( then

an( b" "ou prior to the ritual* be written on a piece of parchment , "ou coul( use a !secret script! of "our own(e)isin' or one of the ma'ic%al ones in 'eneral use. Hou then burn this parchment at the clima of the ritual: at a

point "ou feel is ri'ht. To (o this* fill the sil)er bowl with spirit* place the parchment in this at the be'innin' of theritual* an( li'ht it usin' one of the can(les (urin' the ritual. While it burns shout/chant/)ibrate "our chosen phrase*

)isuali5in' "our (esire accor(in' to the )isuali5ation chosen if "ou wish to an( can inclu(e the )isuali5ation part1.Then eult in the triumph of "our (esire. Follow this with continuin' the ritual to its ceremonial en(.

To (isperse the ener'"* ?ust ima'ine it as* for eample* filaments1 surroun(in' the Temple an( 'ra(uall" creepin'outwar(s. Hou ma" also for eample in an Initiation ritual1 (irect the ener'" into an in(i)i(ual who is present in

that ritual* b" usin' a si'il an( a chant.1.

The $lac% +assIntro(uction:

The $lac% +ass is a ceremonial ritual with a threefol( purpose. First* it is a positi)e in)ersion of the mass of theNa5arene church* an( in this sense is a rite $lac% +a'ic% see the !3ui(e to $lac% +a'ic%!1. econ( it is a means of

personal liberation from the chains of Na5arene (o'ma an( thus a blasphem": a ritual to liberate unconsciousfeelin's. Thir(* it is a ma'ic%al rite in itself* that is* correct performance 'enerates ma'ic%al ener'" which the

celebrant can (irect.The $lac% +ass has been 'reatl" misun(erstoo(. It is not simpl" an in)ersion of Na5arene s"mbolism an( wor(s ,

What a 'enuine $lac% +ass (oes is !tune into! those ener'ies an( then alter them in a sinister wa". This occurs(urin' the !consecration! part of the $lac% +ass. The $lac% +ass also 'enerates its own forms of sinister1 ener'".

To see the $lac% +ass as simpl" a moc%er" is to misun(erstan( its ma'ic%. Also* the $lac% +ass (oes not re2uire

those who con(uct it or participate in it to belie)e or accept Na5arene theolo'": it is simpl" means that theparticipants accept that others* who atten( Na5arene masses* (o belie)e in at least to some (e'ree in Na5arene

Those present in the Temple then recite

the atanic #ree( see tet of $lac% +ass1.Followin' this* the 6riestess then remo)es at ran(om two of the re2uests* which she rea(s. The members who ha)e

been chosen thus* ac%nowle('e their re2uests b" bowin' to the 6riestess. The re2uest first chosen b" the 6riestess isperforme( that e)enin'* the other at the net full moon. This means that "ou as #hore'es shoul( ha)e e)er"thin' in
