The Great Union Night of Samael and Lilith
(fragments from Opus Tenebrae)
Sunset or moment of transition between day and night.
Altar cleansed and assembled in the center of space.
Center — mirror, inside triangle of three red candles, atop — chalice with wine and blood.
Nearby — athame.
This is the Night of the Great Union. Union of fire, will, depth, and power.
Circle opens in silence.
Enter it as sacred geometry of union.
Fix the space.
Gaze — on mirror inside triangle of candles.
Breath — calm, even, collected.
Circle becomes place of power's entry.
Gaze on chalice and mirror beneath it.
