Half Horned God

The "godhead" is spiritual and physical perfection and immortality, along with godlike powers, wisdom, understanding, and knowledge. This is the underlying message of all of the legitimate occult disciplines, such as alchemy and the legends of the Gods which are all allegories containing this powerful message.

For those of you who are unfamiliar with spirituality and the workings of the mind, known as "witchcraft", I am going to explain this so you can understand how this works. Look around you, everything you see, your computer screen, your chair, your bed, your furniture, the cars outside, buildings, windows... everything you see was once someone's idea before it materialized into a physical form in reality. 

Now, I also want to add in some instances, such as with science, for example storms manifest on their own; hot humid air colliding with cold, dry air for example, but the majority of everything here was once someone's idea.

At first mention for those who are inexperienced with witchcraft [using the powers of one's own mind and soul to obtain one's desires], images of old hags with pointed black hats, broomsticks, bats, cauldrons, frogs, toads, amulets, sacred stones, symbols, etc., usually enter one's mind.

The powers one uses are the powers of his/her own mind and soul, to begin with. The above mentioned, many are just useless props, such as a cauldron. Others, such as amulets, rings of stones and so forth amplify energy. This is a scientific fact. Crystals, stones and such amplify and can transmit energy. Covens [groups of witches/warlocks] can be extremely powerful in amplifying energy, as many gifted people work together to apply these powers in unison, in contrast to where one alone could not accomplish certain workings. Raising energy and directing that energy into obtaining goals and desires, whatever they may be, is what witchcraft is all about.

We often see circles along with astrological glyphs and other occult symbols in the movies and such. Astrological timing of raising and directing energy is often critical to the success of a working and greatly amplifies the powers. Witches and warlocks, also known as mages [those who use the powers of their minds and souls and have this knowledge] use whatever means they can to amplify their powers. This is important. Demons (Pagan gods) and spiritual assistants often use frogs, toads, cats, dogs, and other animals called "familiars" to assist mages in their work, and communicate through the medium of an animal, which is always very well cared for and close to the mage; a powerful bond is formed. The familiar also offers protection and is a gift from Satan. Animals are sacred in Satanism and should always be treated with care and respect.

▪︎ "Witchcraft" is using these powers, which are of the mind/soul. Symbols, amulets, stones and other props act to amplify the energy, either directly or indirectly, for those who prefer to use imagery to intensify their powers.▪︎

I would consider myself a Luciferian at the very least hehe

Any ritual of traditional witchcraft is easily adapted for Satanic use!

Yes, and no. See, the primary issue comes down to labels. Christianity quite literally draws from the word "Christos" and so, when we call ourselves Christian, we're calling ourselves "followers of Christ/Anointed". So, categorically, we can't be pagan because Christianity isn't a pagan religion. So, by label, we don't fall under that.

The primary issue, however, is that Christianity is not one set in stone religion. If you look at the early church writings, you'll see that the world wasn't singular but pluralistic and that Christianity existed in tandem with other modes of thought (see Ambrosius and Augustine using Neoplatonism and Aquinas using Socratism). There was a lot in the day and we can't forget the duality of the Religion of the People versus the Religion of the Doctrine. The religion of the people would undeniably include folklore and folk traditions from that area before Christianity or Catholicism came onto the scene. These beliefs would later be integrated. So by that regard, a Christian can be a pagan because their branch of Christianity had influence from what would be seen as "pagan" beliefs.

There is a ritual in the Grimoire Verum associated with the binding of a person that has an adaption of the Lord's Prayer that I personally associate with Sathanas as "The Lord of the Earth". This Prayer is relatively simple:

"Our Father, who art in Heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth."

It's a relatively basic interpretation of the Paternoster, focusing on the effects of the spirit in the World. Likewise, this prayer can be directed to Sathanas as a servant of God in his trial and testing of humans such as in the Book of Job, where he relentlessly tests Job as a part of a bet with God.

Traditionally, the Paternoster would be reversed, a form of spiritual transgression, and a theoretical unbinding of the magician as found in Gemma Gary's Charmer's Psalter:

However, an additional note can be taken from Theistic Diabolicism, where there is an inversion of divine names such as that of El Acher (The Other God) in his firm as Havayoth (a transliteration of the reversed Tetragrammaton). Theoretically, the prayer also claims divine descent, as the magician places themselves as the child of the Father (our).

Here is a simple prayer I often use in my practice:

"Our Father, the Ever Present, hallowed be thy secret names. Thy kingdom come, and thy will be manifest, on earth as it is beyond the barriers."

Since my practice involves the Holy Harlot as the Bride of Sathanas, this is often proceeded by the Ave Maria:

You will have for this work: a Bible, A Small Candle, an Image of Christ, a Small Cross, A Pin.

In the evening, you will draw a sign of one of the Three Emperors of Hell: Astaroth, Baalzebuth or Lucipher on the first page of the Bible.

You will then take it, the icon, the Cross, pins and candle to a crossroads or to a quiet and dark place. There, you will place the candle onto the Icon or Image and step on it, lighting the candle then declaring:

"Christ, you are good, but the Dsvil is better."

Thereafter, you will recite:

"Surgat-Sathanas, open the black gates of Hell and draw forth (name of demon) to my aid."

You will then place the Cross under your foot:

"Powers of Hell be ye beneath my left foot and in my right hand. Hail to you, (name), whom I've invoked. See that this book is marked with your sign. I begin:"

Thereafter declaring:

"I renounce God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit, spitting on this icon, stepping on the cross. I ask of you, (name), to take me under your protection, your reign and rule, commenting myself to you so long as you aid me in what I ask of you."

Prick your finger with the pin and smear blood on the Icon and the Bible, then spitting on both declaring:

"I give you my blood as insurance, asking for your protection in every way. Let it be done that you shall aid me in what I ask of you."

Then:

"Surgat-Sathanas, free me from bondage in the name of Lucipher. Let this Pact be complete in the name of Taninsamael"

General Signs to Look For

A sudden gust of wind

The sound of dogs barking

The flame going out

If it doesn't exist, why do we still write about it??

It is one of the most sought-after things, if not desired by a person who enters a magical-witch path with both hands.

It is curious that academically a possible study has not continued on those who speak of the Sabbat as an unattainable goal or as a place reachable in an altered state. Will it be the scarcity of declared witches or sorcerers that makes us desist from the deepening?

I admit that compared to shamanisms there is a lack of a community structure that gives a sense of community and that makes it think of it as a phenomenon linked to a collective mass hysteria or linked to the phenomenon of the stakes. The fact is that as scholars or practitioners we are still here longing for a test or a narrated experience.

If you look for it, you can read the writings of practitioners like me who have spent time and years talking about it.

And have you ever been there?

It is both a physical and a non-physical event. Whenever witches gather, even a gathering of One, and dance and work magic and call up spirits, they are joining the Sabbat. When they fly out of their bodies and have visions of a witch gathering, they are joining the Sabbat.

Blasphemy varies from cultus to cultus, but shares some prominent themes. In the Devil's Quran, we see mentions of non-procreative sex, alongside staining the Quran and Holy Pages with feces and urine and casting them into fire. This can be seen in some other rites. For example, in my first rite of Denounciation, I burnt the page of the Bible that said: "You shall not suffer a witch/poisoner to live" and smeared the ashes on my forehead. This wasn't an active denouncing of God, who I do believe in as a Catholic Witch, but a denouncing of the institution of the Church.

One of the primary themes of Blasphemy is leaving behind and a sort of social death. The magus overcomes their fear of being ostracized/degraded by actively doing rituals that psychologically assert their sense of self as something separate from the community, most often the religion that represents the major community. We might further note this theme in accusations of lycanthropy, where the mind is shifted from that of a human to a 'beast'.

Who I was has been torn apart and made into pieces (literally) to be reborn as something else entirely.

All the fears and doubts of the past, all that made me hide away in the shadows has disappeared into nothingness, and I am a whole new me.

And the raw emotions that came with it are something I'll forever cherish.
