A Devotion to Asmodeus

By the silence of the hidden places, by the fire concealed beneath the foundations of the world, and by the mysteries that dwell beyond the sight of ordinary men, I call upon Asmodeus, King of Burning Desire, Keeper of Secret Longings, and Lord of the Crimson Flame.

O Asmodeus, whose name is whispered among spirits and whose influence stirs the depths of the mortal heart, incline thy gaze toward this rite and hear the words of thy devotee.

I come not in ignorance of thy nature, nor in fear of thy power, but with deliberate intent and unwavering will. Before thee I unveil the concealed chambers of my soul, the unspoken desires, the hidden passions, and the forbidden yearnings that lie veiled beneath the masks of the world.

Receive this offering of devotion

As the ember seeks the flame, so does my spirit seek thy presence. As desire moves unseen through flesh and thought alike, so may thy influence move through me.

Grant that I may become a vessel of awakening, a herald of the fire that sleeps within the hearts of mankind. Let the stagnant be stirred. Let the restrained be tempted. Let the hidden be revealed. Let longing arise where apathy has ruled.

May thy sigil be inscribed upon the secret places of my thoughts. May thy name be remembered in the watches of the night. May thy current flow through my words and deeds as an invisible river of infernal influence.

I renounce complacency and embrace the sacred flame of desire. I reject spiritual slumber and seek the ecstatic mysteries that dwell within shadow and temptation.

O Asmodeus, Crowned Prince of Passion, hear this oath:

By the flame, I shall remember thee.

By the darkness, I shall honor thee.

By desire, I shall invoke thee.

By will, I shall serve thee.

Let the fire burn within me without ceasing.

Let the whisper of temptation accompany my steps.

Let the mysteries of longing be unveiled before my eyes.

And when thy name is spoken in the hidden places, may my spirit answer in reverence.

So is this vow declared beneath the veiled heavens and before the unseen hosts.

Hail Asmodeus!

Hail the Crimson Flame.

Hail the Eternal Desire.

So let it be!!!

Baphomet symbolizes Satanic philosophy, rebellion, balance and integration of opposites, and liberation from religious dogma.

The pentagram is a representation of the interconnectedness of the world (harmony between elements), and of challenging preconceived ideas.

The Leviathan Cross symbolizes the limitless nature of the human mind and soul. And very personally, to me it represents choosing to explore the path to 'hell' (i.e. the non-christian way of life).

Since Lucifer is a rebellious character and fights for freedom, his sigil represents freedom to me.
