I What is atanism8
atanism is fun(amentall" a wa" of li)in' , a practical philosoph" of life. The essence of this wa" is the belief that we can all* as in(i)i(uals* achie)e far more with our li)es than we reali5e. +ost people waste the opportunities that life can* b" ma'ic%* be ma(e to brin'. atanic ma'ic% is simpl" the use of ma'ic%al forces or ener'ies to enhance the life of an in(i)i(ual or in(i)i(uals accor(in' to their (esires. This usa'e can be of two t"pes , the first is !e.ternal! an( the secon( is !internal!. -.ternal ma'ic% is essentiall" sorcer": the chan'in' of e.ternal e)ents* circumstances or in(i)i(uals in accor(ance with the wishes of the sorcerer. Internal ma'ic% is the chan'in' of the consciousness of the in(i)i(ual ma'ician usin' certain ma'ic%al techni2ues ,this is essentiall" the 2uest of the Initiate for the hi'her 'ra(es of ma'ic%al attainment* a followin' of the wa" of A(eptship. To e.ternal ma'ic% belon's ceremonial an( hermetic rituals. To internal ma'ic% belon's the se)en,fol( sinister wa". #eremonial rituals are rituals in)ol)in' more than two in(i)i(uals* the ritual ta%in' place in either a Temple or an out(oor area consecrate( as a Temple. #eremonial rituals in)ol)e a set te.t which is followe( b" the participants*

an( the wearin' of ceremonial robes to'ether with the use of certain items ha)in' ma'ic%al or Occult si'nificance. 0ermetic rituals are usuall" un(erta%en b" an in(i)i(ual wor%in' alone or with one assistant/ companion. This present wor% (eals with atanic ceremonial ma'ic%: atanic hermetic an( internal ma'ic% is (ealt with in the boo% !NAO , A 6ractical 3ui(e to inister 0ermetic +a'ic%!. atanism* in its be'innin's* is all about ma%in' conscious /or liberatin'1 our (ar% or sha(ow nature* an( to this en(* atanic ma'ic% is un(erta%en. atanists belie)e that we are alrea(" 'o(s: but most people fail to un(erstan( this an( continue to 'ro)el: to others or to a !'o(!. The atanist is prou(* stron' an( (efiant an( (etests the reli'ion of the crucifie( 'o( foun(e( b" the Na5arene* Heshua. A Na5arene /a follower of Heshua1 is afrai( of ("in' an( wei'he( (own b" 'uilt an( en)". The reli'ion of Heshua has in)erte( all natural )alues* settin' bac% the course of our conscious e)olution. atanism* on the contrar"* is a natural e.pression of the e)olutionar" or !6romethean! ur'e within us: an( its ma'ic% is a means to ma%e us 'o(s upon -arth* to reali5e the potential that lies within us all. atanic ceremonies are a means to en?o" the pleasures of life: the" offer carnalit"* the pleasure of fulfillin' one!s (esires* the brin'in' of material an( personal rewar(s an( the ?o"s of (ar%ness. $ut the" are onl" a be'innin'* a sta'e towar( somethin' 'reater. It is one of the purposes of a atanic Temple to 'ui(e those Initiates who ma" be intereste( alon' the (ifficult an( (an'erous path which is the se)en fol( wa". Those who (o not wish to follow this path to A(eptship an( be"on( shoul( simpl" en?o" the man" pleasures which the 6rince of :ar%ness offers to those who b" a atanic Initiation wish to follow 0is philosoph" of li)in'. In tra(itional atanism there is an appreciation of the role of women* for atanism at its hi'hest le)el is concerne( with the (e)elopment of the in(i)i(ual: roles as such are a necessar" part of self,(e)elopment. To be pla"e(* (iscar(e( an( then transcen(e(. The structure of tra(itional Temples an( the rituals performe( b" those members of those Temples reflect this appreciation an( un(erstan(in'. For e.ample* it is possible an( in(ee( (esirable for a +istress of -arth to establish an( :: or'ani5e her own Temple unless she herself wishes otherwise* ?ust as it is possible an( (esirable to celebrate the $lac% +ass usin' a priest* na%e(* upon the altar while the 6riestess con(ucts the ser)ice* such re)ersal bein' an accepte( principle of $lac% +a'ic%.

II The Temple
atanic rites are con(ucte( either in an in(oor Temple or in an isolate( out(oor localit" (urin' the hours of (ar%ness. In(oor Temples usuall" ha)e a static altar* ma(e of either stone or woo(* an( this altar shoul( be set in the -ast. It shoul( be co)ere( b" an altar cloth ma(e of 'oo( 2ualit" material an( coloure( blac%. Ipon this is wo)en either an in)erte( penta'ram* the septenar" si'il or the personal si'il of the +aster/+istress or Temple if there is one. #an(le,hol(ers* ma(e of either sil)er or 'ol(* are place( on the altar* one at either en(. $lac% can(les are usuall" the most emplo"e( althou'h some rituals re2uire the use of other colours. Other can(lehol(ers shoul( be place( aroun( the Temple* since the onl" li'ht use( in the Temple both (urin' rituals an( at other times shoul( come from can(les. The $lac% $oo% shoul( be place( on an oa% stan( on the altar* the altar itself bein' of sufficient si5e for an in(i)i(ual to lie upon it. In(oor Temples shoul( be painte( either blac% or crimson /or a combination of the two1* the floor bare or co)ere( with ru's or carpets of plain (esi'n* either blac% or crimson. When not in use* the Temple shoul( be %ept (ar% an( warm* ha5el incense bein' burne( fre2uentl". A 2uart5 sphere or lar'e cr"stal shoul( be %ept in the Temple* either in or near the altar: if near* supporte( b" an oa% stan(. Abo)e the altar or behin( it shoul( be an ima'e or sculpture of $aphomet accor(in' to atanic Tra(ition. $aphomet is re'ar(e( b" atanists as a !)iolent 'o((ess! an( is (epicte( as a beautiful woman* seate(* who is na%e( from the waist up. In her left han( she hol(s the se)ere( hea( of a man. In her other han( she hol(s a burnin' torch. The se)ere( hea(* which (rips bloo( onto her lower white 'arment* is hel( so that it partiall" obscures her smilin' face. $aphomet is re'ar(e( as the archet"pe of the +istress of -arth* an( the $ri(e of Gucifer. No other furnishin's are present in the Temple. The Temple implements are few in number an( shoul( be either ma(e or commissione( b" the +aster or +istress. If this is not possible* the" shoul( be chosen b" them with care. The implements re2uire( are se)eral lar'e sil)er chalices* a #ensor /or incense hol(ers1* a 2uart5 tetrahe(ron* a lar'e sil)er bowl* an( the acrificial Jnife which shoul( ha)e a woo(en han(le. These implements ma" be %ept on the altar if it is lar'e enou'h* or wrappe( in blac% cloth an( %ept in an oa% chest. No one is allowe( into the Temple unless the" are (resse( in ceremonial robes an( barefoot. The robes are 'enerall" blac% with a hoo(* althou'h some rituals re2uire the use of other colurs. If possible* an ante,chamber shoul( be use( b" members to chan'e into the ceremonial robes. If an out(oor location is use(* the area shoul( be mar%e( out b" a circle of se)en stones* b" the +aster or +istress. An out(oor altar is usuall" the bo(" of one of the participants , na%e( or robe( (epen(in' on the ritual an( the pre)ailin' con(itions. The one chosen for this honour lies on an altar cloth* blac% in colour an( wo)en with an in)erte( penta'ram* the si5e of this cloth bein' not less than se)en feet b" three. #an(les shoul( be place( in lanterns which open on one si(e onl"* this si(e bein' of 'lass which is often coloure( re(. The participants shoul( %now the area well* since the" shoul( not use an" artificial li'ht of an" %in( inclu(in' can(les* to 'ui(e them to the chosen site. Neither must an" fires be lit (urin' an" ritual. For this reason the ni'ht of

the full moon is often chosen $oth in(oor Temples an( out(oor areas chosen for rituals shoul( be consecrate( accor(in' to the rite of Temple consecration. When an" ritual of atanic ma'ic% is un(erta%en* no attempt shoul( be ma(e in an" wa" to banish the ma'ic%al forces , what forces or ener'ies remain followin' a ritual are to remain* since the" (e(icate the area or Temple still further to the powers of :ar%ness. 6reparation for &ituals: The +aster or +istress shoul( chose one member to act as !Altar $rother or ister!. It is the (ut" of this member to ensure that the Temple is prepare( , for e.ample* li'htin' the can(les* fillin' the chalices with wine* incensin' prior to the ritual. It is the (ut" of the +aster an( +istress to prepare the members for the ritual. This usuall" in)ol)es them assemblin' in robes in the Temple or in an ante,chamber (esi'nate( as a preparation area at least half of one hour before the be'innin' of the ritual. :urin' this perio( the" are to %eep their silence while stan(in'* concentratin' on the ima'e of $aphomet or some si'il /such as an in)erte( penta'ram1 as (ecree( b" the +aster or +istress. One or se)eral members shoul( be chosen to act as #antor an( instructe( in the proper chantin' of the chants. Other members ma" be chosen as musicians , the preferre( instruments bein' tabor /or han(,(rum1 or flute.

III #eremonial &ituals

#eremonial rituals* as 'i)en here* are con(ucte( for basicall" two reasons: to 'enerate ma'ic%al ener'" /an( thus (irect that ener'" to achie)e a ma'ic%al 'oal or (esire1 an( for the benefit of the participatin' con're'ation. The benefits the con're'ation (eri)e from a successfull" con(ucte( ritual of $lac% +a'ic% are man" an( )arie(: there are the carnal ones* the material ones an( the spiritual ones. To be successful* a ceremonial ritual must be both (ramatic an( emotional. That is* the ri'ht atmosphere has to be create( an( maintaine(. The ob?ect is to in)ol)e the emotions of the con're'ation* an( all the man" rituali5e( elements /e.'. the robes an( the can(les1 are a means to ai( this. 0owe)er* the sin'le most important element is the power of the )oice* whether spo%en* chante(* )ibrate( or sun'./ ee the chapter on !+a'ic%al 9ibration! for one aspect of this.1 When "ou are con(uctin' a ceremonial ritual "ou must use the set te.ts an( chants /such as the atanic Our Father* the :iabolus1 as a means of 'ra(uall" wor%in' "ourself into an emotional but still controlle( fren5". It is no use ?ust sa"in' the correct wor(s , the" must be spo%en or chante( with a atanic (esire , an( the emotion once brou'ht must be sustaine( until the ritual is o)er. This (oes not mean simpl" actin': it means actuall" becomin' the role "ou assume* that of a powerful sorcerer or sorceress. An( this feelin' must be communicate( to the au(ience: b" )oice* 'estures e"es an( so on. #eremonial +a'ic% is an( alwa"s has been an Art* an( to master this Art ta%es practice. 0owe)er* "ou /an( the person wor%in' as +istress/+aster or 6riestess/6riest1 must alwa"s remain in control of "our emotions stoppin' ?ust short of possession. This also means that each an( e)er" ritual must be un(erta%en without fear or (oubt /not e)en unconscious fear or (oubt1 , that is* in the true spirit of atanic pri(e an( master": with an e.ultation in the forces con?oure( forth. In most ceremonial rituals it is one of the tas%s of the con're'ation to aban(on themsel)es to their lusts an( fren5"* but "ou as ceremonial +aster/+istress cannot (o this since "ou must control an( (irect all the ener'ies which are brou'ht forth )ia the ritual an( the fren5" pro(uce(. It is up to "ou to initiate the emotion in the Temple* to culti)ate its (e)elopment in the con're'ation* to 'et them to reach a ritual fren5" an( clima.. An( then the ener'" must be controlle( , towar(s a specific ma'ic%al aim or (isperse( b" "ou into the Temple/surroun(in' area an( left to (issipate/sprea( accor(in' to its nature an( to the 'lor" of the 6rince of :ar%ness. To (irect the ener'"* "ou must before the ritual choose a specific (esire or aim /either "our own or as a fa)our to one of the members1. This aim /for e.ample* it mi'ht be to harm a specific in(i)i(ual1 must be enshrine( in both a simple phrase an( a simple )isuali5ation accor(in' to the principles of hermetic ma'ic%. The )isuali5ation shoul( be of the successful outcome (esire( , howe)er* if this pro)es (ifficult* concentrate solel" on the phrase. This phrase* which shoul( be succinct* shoul( then an( b" "ou prior to the ritual* be written on a piece of parchment , "ou coul( use a !secret script! of "our own (e)isin' or one of the ma'ic%al ones in 'eneral use. Hou then burn this parchment at the clima. of the ritual: at a point "ou feel is ri'ht. To (o this* fill the sil)er bowl with spirit* place the parchment in this at the be'innin' of the ritual* an( li'ht it usin' one of the can(les (urin' the ritual. While it burns shout/chant/)ibrate "our chosen phrase* )isuali5in' "our (esire accor(in' to the )isuali5ation chosen /if "ou wish to an( can inclu(e the )isuali5ation part1. Then e.ult in the triumph of "our (esire. Follow this with continuin' the ritual to its ceremonial en(. To (isperse the ener'"* ?ust ima'ine it /as* for e.ample* filaments1 surroun(in' the Temple an( 'ra(uall" creepin' outwar(s. Hou ma" also /for e.ample in an Initiation ritual1 (irect the ener'" into an in(i)i(ual who is present /in that ritual* b" usin' a si'il an( a chant.1.

I9 The $lac% +ass

Intro(uction: The $lac% +ass is a ceremonial ritual with a threefol( purpose. First* it is a positi)e in)ersion of the mass of the Na5arene church* an( in this sense is a rite $lac% +a'ic% /see the !3ui(e to $lac% +a'ic%!1. econ( it is a means of personal liberation from the chains of Na5arene (o'ma an( thus a blasphem": a ritual to liberate unconscious feelin's. Thir(* it is a ma'ic%al rite in itself* that is* correct performance 'enerates ma'ic%al ener'" which the celebrant can (irect. The $lac% +ass has been 'reatl" misun(erstoo(. It is not simpl" an in)ersion of Na5arene s"mbolism an( wor(s , when a Na5arene mass is celebrate( /as occurs e)er" (a"* man" times* throu'hout the worl(1 certain ener'ies or )ibrations compatible with the Na5arene ethos ma" or ma" not be 'enerate(* (epen(in' on the circumstances an( the in(i)i(uals atten(in'. That is* un(er certain circumstances* the Na5arene mass can be a ritual of !white ma'ic!: the ener'ies that are sometimes pro(uce( bein' pro(uce( because a number of in(i)i(uals of li%e min( are 'athere( to'ether in rituali5e( settin'4 there is nothin' in the pro(uction of ener'ies which is attributable to e.ternal a'encies /e.'. !'o(!1. What a 'enuine $lac% +ass (oes is !tune into! those ener'ies an( then alter them in a sinister wa". This occurs (urin' the !consecration! part of the $lac% +ass. The $lac% +ass also 'enerates its own forms of /sinister1 ener'". To see the $lac% +ass as simpl" a moc%er" is to misun(erstan( its ma'ic%. Also* the $lac% +ass (oes not re2uire those who con(uct it or participate in it to belie)e or accept Na5arene theolo'": it is simpl" means that the participants accept that others* who atten( Na5arene masses* (o belie)e in at least to some (e'ree in Na5arene theolo'" , the $lac% +ass uses the ener'" pro(uce( b" those beliefs a'ainst those who belie)e in them* b" (istortin' that ener'"* an( sometimes re(irectin' it. This is 'enuine $lac% +a'ic%. ^^^^^ 6articipants: Altar 6riest , lies na%e( upon altar 6riestess , in white robes +istress of -arth , in scarlet robes +aster , in purple robes #on're'ation , in blac% robes ettin': Isuall" an in(oor Temple.

The ai( ma" be of an" %in( , constucti)e* material* or (estructi)e. Those wishin' ai( shoul( write their re2uests on paper an( seal this in an en)elope which the" place in a special urn/receptacle %ept for this purpose near the entrance to the Temple. The members shoul( assemble /in robes an( barefoot1 in the Temple* an( the sune(rion is formall" be'un b" "ou* the #hore'os* sa"in' !Get the sune(rion be'in!. If a member has been appointe( 3uar(ian /see the list of Offices at the en( of the chapter1 he shoul( stan( b" the entrance to the Temple an( refuse a(mittance to an" members arri)in' late. Those present in the Temple then recite the atanic #ree( /see te.t of $lac% +ass1. Followin' this* the 6riestess then remo)es at ran(om two of the re2uests* which she rea(s. The members who ha)e been chosen thus* ac%nowle('e their re2uests b" bowin' to the 6riestess. The re2uest first chosen b" the 6riestess is performe( that e)enin'* the other at the ne.t full moon.

After choosin' the re2uests* the members (epart from the Temple while "ou an( the altar brother/sister prepare the Temple for the ritual "ou ha)e chosen to fit the first re2uest. :urin' this preparation* the members shoul( prepare themsel)es for the ritual if a ceremonial form has been chosen. houl( a hermetic form be chosen* this is (one in the Temple while the members feast an( (rin% outsi(e of the Temple. c1 At full moon* an out(oor ritual shoul( be con(ucte( in a suitable location.
