One thing all belief systems and religions have in common is their ideas or concepts of a "Hell" and / or an Afterlife. The descriptions thereof vary widely, from Asian, Western, Right-Handed systems, Left-Handed systems, Greek, Roman - no two are exactly the same. After we have watched a program concerning what "Hell" and the Afterlife truly is like, we have decided to give our ten cents in this matter.

Unlike many sources on this matter - our beliefs concerning life after death is not based on religious bias or quoting historical authors - as our beliefs are solely based upon what we have found in our magickal practices, communicating with Beings related to "Hell" and the Afterlife, communicating with the Dead, tending to the dying and traversing the Infernal and Necromantic Spheres. Now, keep in mind that this is what we personally believe - the only reason why we are writing this, is not to force this upon you the reader - but to prove that there is more than just the usual concepts of fire, ice, water, and brimstone.

At the end of the day, only the Dead and the Psychopomps truly know what waits beyond the veil for humans, and those who are Adept Necromancers will know that neither parties easily parts with things of this matter.

When one's physical vessel is on the brink of dying, as it sooner or later will be, the "veil" between this world and the next starts to blur. You may see dead relatives, friends and ancestors gathering around you, awaiting you. If you were struggling to hold on to life, this desire starts to subside, and you will experience a strange "numb tiredness". If you have been in great pain, the pain will disappear. All worries and concerns disappear - and you might find your mind "wandering" to trivial thoughts. 

If, however, you are committing suicide - the strong emotions you probably are experiencing at that point, will remain with you for all eternity, and death will definitely not end your suffering. You will embody that emotion - you will become sorrow, rage, fear, hatred etc, unable to process it or move on.

Now, back to dying - there is a big chance that you may see non-human Beings around you soon before dying and after dying. How They appear varies. They are Psychopomps/Agents of Death. The times They appear, is to assist in your "adjustment" to your new existence, to forcefully take you to a certain area, or such.
​
We'll skip out on what you will find and encounter in the lands of the Dead (human and non-human, known and unknown) - but we will explain how it works there, so to speak. In the Afterlife, since you are no longer in the world of the physical, everything is comprised of Ether/Spiritual Matter. Now, (especially if you are well aware of energy and how it works), you can mold and shape the surrounding Ether to your greatest whim - and it will become real. This being said - your beliefs hold a great sway at this point. If you die with preconceived beliefs, they will manifest - whether it is "true" or not. Thus, it is best to eliminate any religious notions long before death to get the truest vision of the lands of the Dead. Also keep in mind that time does not exist here, and that energy is the lifeblood of everything.

Many places may exist here - such as Asgard, "Heaven", the Elysian Fields, Hel, Utgard, Styx, Flagathon, Lethe, Sheol, Gehenna etc etc etc...as throughout the ages, so many people have invested so much energy in believing such places to exist, that they have unknowingly created these places - not unlike creating a powerful thoughtform or egregore. So, even if you yourself do not personally believe in these places, you will be able to behold them nonetheless. Here your Will is your driving force - you can will yourself to go anywhere in any world, and at most times (with only a few exceptions) you will be there.

Now, apart from if you fully believe you will go to a specific place (mostly due to religious beliefs) - there is no particular "place" where you end up - you can choose to remain in the realm of Earth among the living, you can explore the numerous Worlds and Spheres beyond, you can create your own "world" and fill it with whatever you wish - the options are limitless...however with four exceptions:

1) If one does not know one is dead and thus believe that you are alive, you will either remain in the world of the living, or you will unknowingly create your own world where you are still alive.

2) Due to most humans being "herd"-orientated, Spirits of certain nature and temperament will seek eachother out and group together.

3) Certain Realms and Worlds cannot be accesed by just any Spirit. More on this below.

4) Your level of Spiritual Power.

Now, concerning 3 and 4 - every person and thus Spirit have their own level of Spiritual Power. This is easy to grow and develop when alive, and even though you can grow and develop it after death as well - this is far more difficult. There are certain Realms and Worlds that a Spirit of "average" or "low" Spiritual Power cannot reach or access by any means. To put it simply, the more Spiritual Power you have, the further you can go and the more you can do.

There is by itself no place of eternal suffering and punishment you may be sent to by default - except one. This place, regardless of beliefs, is the closest you can get to a true "Hell" - yet far worse. We call it the Abyss. To end up here, you basically have to be killed via magick or die while under a curse. Unlike the "fire and brimstone" and Daemons chopping you up and torturing you - this place is nothingness. Each Spirit within, in their own personal hell - caused by none other but themselves. They are unaware of all the other Spirits around them or even where they truly are - they are trapped within themselves, administering their worst fears and tortures upon themselves for all eternity. One cannot reach them, one cannot assist them, they can never leave. We have seen a vision of this Abyss via One we work closely with - all we will tell you further is that you definitely do not want to end up here.

Now, as for living your life giving in to your negative ego - you will definitely not have a very pleasant experience in the Afterlife. Not due to "Hell" or such - but by the other Spirits, Denizens, by your lack of Spiritual Power and by yourself.

This is not all we know concerning the Beyond, however this is simply a short and concise piece of some aspects of the matter at hand.

Here is a Kamea that will assist you in seeing beyond the Veil. To use it, you must stay awake for three consecutive days, while drinking cocoa. This will loosen the fetters and activate the Theta state of mind. During this three day period, you will draw the glyps within the Kamea allocated to the numbers 1 through 8. Then, you will proceed with 9 onwards, by drawing the glyphs you have used in 1 - 8 in order. With each glyph, you shall state the name of the Realm you wish to see followed by "odo" (Enochian for open)...as an example "Hades Odo". Then, after the period of three days, sleep.

Namaste.

We have created this modest PDF for your consideration - it is free of charge and has tidbits of numerous subjects therein. Enjoy!

De Plancy claims that Adramelech holds the rank of president of the demons' senate and is chancellor of Hell. He also pointed out that Adramelech is also the supervisor of Satan's wardrobe...where do people find this nonsense!

Any Deity or Intelligence which is said to be a "Sun-God" is the most powerful in Their pantheon. And Adramelech is just that: A Sun God. He shares His rank with Beings such as Shamash, Ra and so on. Remember reader, that all the so-called Demons/Daemons were once recognized as Gods in the ancient world, until more popular religions arose - especially Monotheism, then these Gods became "gods" and finally "Demons".

Adramelech forms a "Infernal" Trinity together with Moloch and Melek-Taus. Adramelech is also closely linked with Azazel - Who we will give more info on later. In the ancient world burnt offerings were given in any form, but later unwanted infants such as deformed or terminal babies were burned as living sacrifices. This is an ancient practice of devotion and faith - and resulted in prosperity, fortune and fertility for the parents.

De Plancy's depiction of Adramelech is obviously incorrect. He can appear in any way, shape and form to the Conjurer. Adramelech can be worked with concerning matters of fertility, empowering Talismans, Seals etc. He is the Initiator of Magickal Paths as well as new ventures. It is better not to request His wrath upon an enemy, as He may be difficult to convince if you are not " justified" in such a request. He will assist in glamour spells as well as deception. Adramelech is more likely a King and has many thousand of legions under His command. 

His Enochian Enn: "Ge Adramelech, Moloch, Melek-Taus, Niss- Zacar! Prege! Niss Zacar-Emna! Ozazm Brox!"

The Gnostic god Abraxas is frequently depicted with the head of a rooster, this bird being considered a powerful Talisman for vigilance, and also a symbol of the Sun, as well as of Mercury. It is sometimes represented with an ear of corn in its beak, denoting that "vigilance produces plenty." De Plancy did mention Abraxas, however said very little about Him of any significance - the mere fact that he thought of Abraxas as a mere "daemon" says enough, as Abraxas was and still is the chief Deity of many sects - especially the Gnostics.

Basilides, the Gnostic Priest, taught that God first created:

(1) Nous, or mind, from this emanated
(2) Logos, the Word, from this
(3) Phronesis, Intelligence, and from this 
(4) Sophia, Wisdom, and from this last 
(5) Dynamis, Strength. 

The "Almighty" was known as Abraxas, which signifies in Coptic "the Blessed Name," and was symbolised by a figure with the head of which is that of a rooster, the body that of a man, with serpents forming the legs; in His right hand he holds a whip, and on His left arm is a shield. The Talisman shown above is a combination of the five emanations mentioned above: Nous and Logos are expressed by the two serpents (as legs), symbols of the inner sense and understanding as well as showing that He is linked to Earth and the wisdom of Earth, the head of the rooster representing Phronesis, for foresight and vigilance; the two arms hold the symbols of Sophia and Dynamis, the Shield of Wisdom and the Whip of Power, worn for protection from moral and physical ill. The numerical value of His name is 365 - thus showing His rule over all days and nights. One can work with Abraxas in your pathworking of Spiritual Ascention, as well as to grasp the power of the Godself - to name only two. 

His Enochian enn: "Zar Odo Gmicalzo Zar Abraxas Zar Geh!"

Every so often we will post a short piece on the Intelligences from various Hierarchies/Grimoires. To start off, we shall consentrate on Collin De Plancy's "Dictionnaire Infernal" or Infernal Dictionary. We shall post them Alphabetically for ease and convenience. The purpose of these posts is to give a bit of our own insight on these various Beings and Spirits. Enjoy.

De Plancy claims that the Daemonic Hierachy is false, because Daemons according to him are liars. Abigor holds the rank as a Grand Duke. There are sixty Daemonic Legions under His command. He appears as a capable knight on horseback, with dark features. In His left hand he carries Hell's standard or insignia. 

However, in working with this Intelligence, we have discovered some additional capabilities. He is a master of the art of warfare. When His seal is carried by the mage, He will grant the protection of His Legions. This Seal may also be used during operations of Magick to subdue lesser spirits. He can instruct the Mage on how to gain the loyalty of those familiars that works under Him, as well as assist with Oracular undertakings, ie divination, scrying etc. Abigor, unknown to some, commands some of the most insidious "assasins" in Hell's domain. Abigor is more than likely something similar to a Warlord and not a "Grand Duke" and lacks mercy and reasoning, thus it is dire for the Mage to be respectful and offer Him a burnt offering during His Evocation.

Here follows His Enochian Enn:  " Torgiv Micalzo Eligor-Abigor Zorge, Niis, Taviv"

When we think back on our book Liber Infernos Infernar, the writing thereof seems so long ago. We can remember the dark energies that called out to us, wanting to be a part of the pages, persistent in it's maddening whispers. We went days upon days without sleeping, driven like some kind of mechanized tools, without reason or self awareness. Pounding away at the computer keys like an infernal jackhammer. This book took a toll on us unlike any other.

That joyous relief when it was completed! The absolution, the reprieve! The closest we can get to explain the writing of that book was like insanity descending into Hell. We where changed spiritually in such extent that it is hard to translate into mere words. 

The other day we discussed our written works and noted how it has changed since we published Liber Infernos Invernar. Well, this is simply a reflection of the authors, we suppose. Our books are simply a reflection of our spirituality, and small things are usually overlooked. We didn't even notice it...

Then followed "The Stars are not Right and The Etheric Keys" and we personally feel that these two books are our most prolific and significant books to date. What many of you don't know, is that "The Etheric Keys" was written in a period of Ascention where we came to a bitter and terrible realization. Now this book was actually written a good couple of years back when the very foundation of our Occult/Spiritual beliefs came crumbling down around us. Yet again, it is hard to explain the exact mental and spiritual torment we endured at that very moment. It was simply terrible. Spiritual Ascention usually is.

Then came "The Gospel of The Ghouls" and "The Book of Azarak", nothing really special to add concerning these two books, other that they both are leading up to something greater, perhaps our Magus Opus? Only time will tell, as we are uncertain as of yet. There are many good authors in the Occult, but very few Great ones. What we believe greatness is, is the ability to embrace the soul of an individual and confound the heart thereof with wisdom in truth and truth in wisdom. But then again - that's our perception on the matter of "greatness". We are certain there are others which is more meaningful.

Life in general can be seen as a series of books, you being it's author. Some of your books will be comic, while others will be tragic. A lot of the books contains twists and turns, strange plots and interesting characters. But one thing you must realize is YOU are the author and control the outcome of your story, no matter what the title of the book is.
​
Namaste.

The following post is written by us originally for our forum, The Arcane Lodge.

- - -

There are two choices in which path to follow in traditional High Magick. We believe that these two paths are joined, however we will view them seperately for the moment. These choices are: "Divine or Infernal". In man's plight to master the Metaphysical, he/she first has to "choose" which path to follow. If he/she chooses the "Infernal Path", the Initiate has to become the lessor Demon/Imp, climbing the infernal ladder of ascention. Which Demon will guide the initiate through the Ranks and levels of Hell? Only the worthy King Paimon who is the torch of Lucifer!

When the initiate ascended the steps and shines bright above Lucifer, then he/she will be Baphomet! The twin serpent of glorious despair! Then, only then, the Initiate will become Mage. The Magus Opus.

Throughout history there were many Authors who attempted to present a pathworking that will assist the initiate to Ascend. Barrett, Crowley, Bardon, Jung etc. However many initiates have lost the true translations of these Powerful Rites and preferred to house entertainment of Lessor Magick. 

What some fail to grasp is that High Magick empowers the "I" through self immolation of the shadow self-but not destroying the shadow, however making it obedient to the "I" of individual Power. Whereas working with Demons/Daemons or Angelic/Celestials directly as a subservent individual, removes the WILL of "I" and retards growth of the Higher Self. The "I" becomes Omegus, then the external force Alphus Prime.(No Pun intended). This is contrary to the directive and objective of Magick as it is imbalance. You may view this as "Yang" without "Ying" and so on. This will allow or permit regulatory universal "Energy" to be drawn to the individual and rectify the gross "imbalance" by means of trial or conflict. This is simply  "Cause and Effect".

The True Ascention is when the Mana of the External Being aligns with the Mana of "I", thus spiritual Alchemy creates Gold or the Sun. The Initiate will transcend/ transmute/ evolve from being base metal such as lead into the Glory of GOD of Alphus and Omegus. The end product would be Baphomet. Not "Satan", not "Belial" but HEXAGRAM.

What metal can be associated with the Path of Ascention? Quicksilver ( Mercury) as this is Ether which binds all particles in existence. Some call this Kaos. Mercury joins and binds kindred matter as it is a liquid conduit of Hell's communion, joining Spheres, Entities etc by directed Will.

From Lead, transmuted by Mercury and resulting in Gold. I.E.  The Initiate will be transformed through Directed Ether/Kaos and by will become Mage/Baphomet etc.

1.Initiate Desire.
2.Direct Will.
3.Transmute.
4.Become.

These four points are the "Base or Foundation" of High Magick. There exists other guidelines in "The Great Arte", however, The "Seven Hermetic laws" of the Sage serves to compliment and direct the path of the Initiate. Contrary to belief, these guidelines are not tainted by sentiments or influences of the "Right or Left Handed" paths. This so called "Black and White" Magick is simply the invention of the negative ego that through wanting perception and guidence of the Unfulfilled "I", has fractured Magick in twain. Remember, Magick simply is Kaos, but through Perception and Will it becomes.

​Namaste.

While browsing through the seeming insidious pages of the "Demonic Bible" it's a familiar reflection however more like a dull mirrored image of other Religious paradigms. The difference between this author and others is that this self proclaimed "Anti-Christ" has actually lived his life and writes from practical experience.

What we respect about individuals such as this is the simple fact that they have discovered through the immolation of ignorance, that this thing man calls "Religion" is nothing more than a ruse. A poor construct shared by the feeble of intellect.

Many wise men and women throughout history where labeled as Heretics, for their "outlandish" beliefs, philosophies and insight. Even though these individuals had Spiritual beliefs, to this very day they are known as Atheists - conveniently enough, they are not amongst the living to contest this accusation. It is easy to judge and detest that which contests conformity, but harder still to accept the contra-mundane.

Fortunately, the 21st century has sprouted products of evolution. Both in the Metaphysical field and the Sciences. But the Occultist has not embraced the potential of the Occult Science. For as long as this continues, there will always be misguided individuals that ingests the putrid yoke of mental coagulation.

What some fail to see, is that Magick is a mere reflection of human evolution. The same can be observed with poetry, art, cinematics etc.  Will man-kind ever reach the heights of "heaven" and ascend beyond the reach of the Gods? No, we do not believe so, simply because humanity has become comfortable with their stagnant and bad habits - well, they are so hard to break.

If a few does ascend, then it will only be a few. In each generation of all the world's population, only one Legion will spiritually ascend (regardless of their means). This will only be through conscious effort. Through all the material written by the few, from the beginning of man's literacy, what excuses can man find...No, they will be pointing at something else as a scapegoat.

It is not our concern if humanity ascends or not, sooner or later our bones will be dust and will be in a place you can never reach. Your sole concern should be what do we know that you don't?

We can write numerous books on the subject of Spirituality and Magick, but it means nothing if the individual cannot grasp the true message. Perhaps it's some spiritual-genetic flaw that blinds humanity's spiritual senses, but none the less we can understand why the "Fallen Angels" refused to bow to mankind...imagine if there is truth to this mythos?
 
Humanity is an animal by nature, however an animal without the resources of fang and claw. So what did nature give man to remedy this seeming flaw?  Man was granted higher intellectual capacity, forethought and reasoning. The real difference between animal and man is simply instinct vs flawed reasoning or as the Greeks refer to as "Depravatos".

 Prometheus is more than just forethought, it's actually spiritual insight. Prometheus of Greek myth gave fire to man. This fire is obviously "forethought". In many other cultures this is represented as fire, flame or torch. In Germanic tradition Sowulo or Sig is another representation thereof, and let's not forget the two Ravens, Huginn and Muninn directly linked to Odin. Very few people know that the two Ravens with Odin forms a Divine Trinity. One is not greater than the other - as the Ravens take flight from his shoulders and this brings relief albeit temporary, for they shall return to burden Him once more with the  weight of wisdom.

We will end this post with these final words: "Knowledge can be bought cheaply, but wisdom can never be sold"

Many Dark Blessings,

​Namaste.

Review on "Sage":

We recently were accused openly on Wizard forums by this fellow named "Sage" that we did not deliver results with a working we did for him, as well as that we are liars...

As we do with all our clients, we explained to him from the get go how timeframes in magick works, We instructed this individual in detail what he needed to do in order to gain the best results - we failed to do this time and time again, and 8 Months later still doesn't have any results...isn't it a bit obvious Mr.Sage? It's known as cause and effect, dear boy! 

Now this individual openly disregarded the terms (that he agreed upon) which the Deity presented. This Being is one of the Persona's of Kali. This arrogant individual even scoffed at the dire consequences of not fulfilling his part of this agreement. (recently admitted). And he wonders why he looks like the biblical version of Job and have not experienced any "miraculous" healing on his behalf?  This is simply astounding! The blind self deceit and delusion of this fellow!  And he had the gall to falsely accuse us?

To make a long matter short, we instructed him to work on negative aspects of his ego, as this is a problem area. We also went out of our way to give him a Meditation that will clear up this issue of negativity if applied regularly. But alas, to no avail! He admitted that he did not follow through with this!

Let's sum up what went wrong:
1. Sage failed to do what we instructed him on the Spellwork.
2. Sage failed to fullfil his agreement with Kali.
3. Sage failed to perform the Meditation as we presented.

This is a good example of what you should not do if you want a Working to succeed. Hell, a while back we wrote a book on the subject and all three of these don'ts are mentioned in the book. If you're interested, you can find it here under our "Books", it is titled: " The Stars are not Right".

It is far too easy to point fingers at others than to take responsibility of your own want and failures. Sage, you really need to reevaluate your life and attempt to resolve the matter with Kali, if you fail to do this, aggrivating your deformity is the least She can do and She WILL find you!  No ward or spiritual protection can exempt you from Her reach! Then again, we actually hope you neglect this! We have a dark sense of humour and we will keep you guys updated on Sage's fate. We will title this as : "Sage Got Burned".

For those clients that follow our instructions, we will move Heaven and Hell for them. There is nothing we will not do within our power to grant them the best possible outcome. We do not cease working on a client's behalf, and no one offers this service. We simply ask our clients to follow our instructions (if any) and instruct them on how the working will be done and why it works, as well as determining the best path to undertake through the use of Divination.

However we WILL NOT entertain business with individuals such as "Sage" that has the inability to use logic, nor willing to follow instructions due to arrogance and other negative human traits. We simply do not associate with these persona's. We were willing to give Sage a chance, however his deluded insights and false accusations is what hammered the nail in the coffin.

The world is under the impression that "the client is always right", and thus cannot possibly do anything wrong. However, what people fail to recognize (unless they run a business of their own), is that not all clients are reasonable. There are those clients that one simply cannot please. What happens then, is the client will complain about your business and thus make you seem as the unreasonable one...however, nothing is stated on the client him/her self. We actually believe that in any business, and especially in the world of the Occult, that if one encounters a client as such, one must give them a chance, however if they fail, one must write a "review" on the said client, so that the public can see the full story, and so that other practitioners can know of the nature of the client if they are approached. So, thus we wrote this post.

We hoped we kept you informed, and found this just as entertaining as us! If you have any enquiries, contact us - as he has made his case public.

Dark Blessings,
Namaste!

Many times we are contacted by Practitioners and are asked this single question: 
"Why can't I manage to Evoke and communicate/work with External Entities successfully?"

In order to answer this question, we will have to start at the paradigm that leads up to Evocation/High Magick:
Sympathetic Magic A.K.A "Low Magick". You need to understand that before you can even attempt High Magick. You need to master the very basics first, then work your way up to a Zenith. A good place to start is Witchcraft and Chaos Magick as both of these two paradigms have a decent understanding of Sympathetic Magick and much, much more.

Think about it. Dee, Crowley, Barrett and many others did not just simply stroll into a"Temple of High Magick" and mastered it overnight! It took years of study, dedication as well as immolating ignorance in order to become Adept in this paradigm. High Magick is not simply known as HIGH MAGICK for some trivial reason. In order to even attempt Grand Necromancy, the Mage will have to be an Adept High Mage! These two Practices are closely linked to one another, unlike any other paradigm.

We see MANY Daemonolaters  "attempting"  to work with Daemons, however some of these individuals do not even know the basics of Magick nor fully understand it! There are many Practitioners of the Occult that follow this ignorant trend.
 
If you do not work yourself up from the basics, you simply won't have the Spiritual Authority, Strength and Will to successfully communicate with these Intelligences, never mind WORKING with Them! These Beings will simply use and mislead you, if you're fortunate, and you will become a slave to Them due to your inability to spiritually perceive and know beforehand when you are in fact being deceived! 

Remember, these Intelligences ARE NOT your friends or Family, unless one or more becomes a Patron/Matron on your spiritual path, but this is a matter altogether different. Don't fool yourself, the minute you think you are in control, that's the moment when you have become a slave. Why? Because They exploit weakness to Their full advantage, after all - it's a simple Universal Law that the strong will dominate the weak, it's nothing personal dear reader.

High Magick is not some metaphorical rest room that you can simply walk into and relieve yourself. It takes A LOT of hard work, self discipline and dedication to master! We find it extremely ridiculous that any Tom, Dick and Harry thinks that they can simply wear High Magick as if it's some ratty robe!

Remember, there is a great difference between dabbling and practicing ACTUAL Magick. We've heard the term "mental masturbation" mentioned once or twice and this would be a good example thereof.

The result for not having developed your spiritual faculties in extent and degree and attempting High Magick will be:

1. Delusions (Mental Masturbation) - this simply means that you will unknowingly contact your subconscious, which will manifest as an Archetype and assume the role of the Intelligence you attempt to communicate with. As seen with attempted Divinations allegedly "working" through Deities and so forth. This form of actual Divination does exist (Divining via Divinities) however the spiritually inadequite will not know the difference, nor succeed.

2. You will unknowingly Evoke a Demented or Malicious Spirit and it will: 
A. Mislead you
B. Destroy you
C. Possess you.
D. Manipulate you
E. All of the above and worse.

The simple truth is that the practice of High Magick requires a Great Degree of Intelligence, Creativity, Willpower, Dedication and Numen. There are many skeptical practitioners in the field of Magick (irony) that will simply scoff at these written words and shrug at best, however, we gain nothing from writing the Truth. You see dear reader, the Truth is simply perception from a uncorrupted mind, and we all have virtues and vices, however even the blind can see what is obvious and make a lucid and sane conclusion.

So kindly, do NOT dabble with the Occult, rather master the basics first and work yourself up to the path you feel suits you best. Save yourself a world of grief and  find a Master Teacher of the High Arte. These teachers are spread far and wide however we are here. We are willing to teach and instruct those who are willing and capable. 

Thank you for reading, we hope this post will serve you well.

​Namaste!
