The Hymn to the Master of Death is a hymn we use on Saturday, the day belonging to Saturn, the lord of Time and Death – the great transformation. It invokes the spirits of Saturn (Agiel, Zazel), its angel (Zaphkiel), and its divine names (Shaddai). The “Dark Lord” thus besought is a form of Satan. Therefore, itContinue reading “Hymn to the Master of Death”

ABOUT THE WHITE ASPECT
Ad Perpetranda Miracula Rei Unius ”This Earth, Disciple, is the Hall of Sorrow, wherein are set along the Path of dire probations, traps to ensnare thy EGO by the delusion called “Great Heresy” [of separatism]… Three Halls, O weary pilgrim, lead to the end of toils.

On Elemental Prayers
In How to Build a Rosary of Azazel, I gave an example of the possible arrangement of the prayer beads’ blessings in our rosary practice. Perhaps the most peculiar among them was the third decade: “Different kingdoms of nature, including the elements. (Human kingdom, Animal kingdom, Plant kingdom, Mineral kingdom, the kingdom of Culture, the naturalContinue reading “On Elemental Prayers”
The Daughter of God
Last week I presented a prologue for a concept essential to lodge Salome, the Daughter of God. In that fragment from Magna Mater, I gave the basis for the idea of complementary opposites forming two duads of Mother and Father and Son and his Bride as the quaternary point of the demonology of the StarContinue reading “The Daughter of God”
MAGNA MATER
Chapter V Today I will start a more intense going through of one of the most central archetypes of the Star of Azazel’s lodge Salome, namely the Daughter of God.

WHAT IS LUCIFERIANISM
Lodge Salome emphasizes the White aspect in Satanism, which is the aspect of Lucifer.

But Luciferian Satanism is most easily distinguished from other forms of Satanism in its approach that underlines beauty, grace, inspiration, openContinue reading “WHAT IS LUCIFERIANISM”
ZODIAC OF SINS
The readers who are familiar with my books (for example, Fosforos or Argarizim) know that the Star of Azazel system uses the concept of SIN in a peculiar way. Instead of seeing the so-called deadly sins as something which should be avoided at all costs, the tantric approach of the brotherhood seeks to purify the sins and use their dynamicContinue reading “ZODIAC OF SINS”
A Luciferian Hymn to the Son of Dawn
The following hymn was given first in Fosforos book VI, Legifer & Clavis Magica. In the brotherhood celestial hymns practice, it is used as the Friday prayer. In it, we approach together the two aspects of Lucifer: bright and black, the power of manifestation and of uncreation, the male and the female, the virgin – whichContinue reading “A Luciferian Hymn to the Son of Dawn”
Be Ye Therefore Wise as Serpents, and Harmless as Doves
The Serpent, one of the most venerated symbols in the Left Hand Path and occult symbolism, is strongly condemned in Judeo-Christian religions as the symbol of evil. On the other hand, the Dove, adopted as the symbol of the Holy Spirit in Christianity, is usually an object of contempt and false meekness among the LeftContinue reading “Be Ye Therefore Wise as Serpents, and Harmless as Doves”
