what follows arose within a private email exchange in response to a friend's suggestion about a 'Satanic Lesser Banishing Ritual'. my comparison follows: ____________________________________________________________________________ kaliyuga 49960917 AA1 Hail Satan! #Subject: Satanic LBRP I have been considering the Satanic versions of such rites of late myself and offer reflection here. this appears to be the one complaint of the (often newbie) Satanists I meet -- that there are few rites which please them. perhaps we could compile a few alternative versions of the rites of old. eventually I'm going to construct a number of demon-workings. [original of a friend erased; # (commentary)] I once created a neopagan LBRP and QBLstic cross, but have unfortunately lost them. perhaps I'll again reflect upon Regardie and recreate. I think that the one used today is predominantly Xtian. the idea I had was that one expanded to the uppermost stars as per the norm but also into the deepest darkness of cthonic solidity, becoming the mergence of the two, dark and light, earth and starfire. THE CROSS OF SATAN Take a steel dagger in the right hand and face West. # West is the typical focal-point of Satanists and many other wrathfuls, # the beginning of darkness, which is the comparable to the Hermetic # and Judeochristian Eastern orientation. Touch your iron rod/phurba to genitals and vibrate I AM Touch your iron rod/phurba to forehead and vibrate DOOM Touch your iron rod/phurba to left shoulder and vibrate FOULNESS Touch your iron rod/phurba to right shoulder and vibrate HORROR (and) Grip the iron rod/phurba with both hands point outward, and vibrate DISPERSION OF PURITIES Strike about with the iron rod/phurba in an arc taking in above and below as well as all around, shouting SHATTER! # I hope you have seen my Ascension Rite I devised for those who are # ready to 'release their body of darkness and pass into the Light'. # the text here reminds me of it, though perhaps with less self- # destructive intent. # # ftp://ftp.hollyfeld.org/pub/Esoteric/Avidyana/Shaitan/ascension.hwm The infernal banishing pentagram is drawn starting from the upper left point, then going upwards in a counterclockwise movement to completion. Make in the air towards the West the banishing pentagram while vibrating the name KHEMI, imagining that your voice carries forward to the West of the Universe. Holding the dagger out before you, go to the South, make the pentagram and vibrate similarly BHAIRAVI. Go to the East, make the pentagram and vibrate KAOS. Go to the North, make the pentagram and vibrate MAMMON. Return to the West and complete your circle by bringing the dagger point to the centre of the first pentagram. Stand with arms stretched outward and raise your forearms in rough arcs, ninety degrees from the body, forming a pitchfork shape. # the power-weapon of Siva and Poseidon. Utter: I feed the the fires of the world with the lives of the fallen. The wheel rotates by the leave of the bloodfed flame. The blood of the arcane flows by the power of turning.
