It is the responsibility of the magician to be certain of his intent, and yes, I believe you must seek her annihilation if you want a full-blown curse to succeed. If not, then perhaps your magic should be more self-directed and of a healing nature. Gather some minor possession of the subject, preferably hair, fingernail clippings, etc. Since she was an ex-lover, use the power of psychosexuality to your advantage and take a pair of her underwear. This will serve to connect you emotionally with the target of the curse, and aid in your visualization. Using some flamable material (colored tissue-paper will do the trick), fashion a simple doll, using the hair (or other material) as stuffing. You don't need to create a work of art here...just something that you can identify as the target. While creating your effigy, recite a mantra you have made based upon the target's name. (Info on creating mantras can be found in Carroll's book _Liber Null_). Pick a remote area on a moonless night, bring a candle (black), needles, chalk, a sharp knife and some flamable liquid (lighter fluid works). Light the candle. Chalk a "destructive" power symbol on the ground. Some people use the Satanic baphomet, some use the counter-clockwise swastika...use whatever you like, the more personal, the better (I prefer a skull and crossbones). Place the effigy in the center of the symbol. Invoke Abaddon the Destroyer. You must write your own invocation here, but be certain to make a good case for calling this Lord of Wrath into being. Be formal about it, and be certain to mention his all his titles and deeds (The monsters of the pit can be extraordinarily vain!) Inform him of all of your target's crimes, and your malevolent desires. The more impressive you make your invocation, the more likely it is that Abaddon will take heed. Do not expect him to appear in physical form, but if you are confident in your invocation, rest assured *he is there*! Now invoke every bit of rage and hatred that you can summon. Everything. I mean it, focus all your being on this tiny range of emotion, and direct it onto the effigy. The effigy (and hence, your target) is responsible for all of it. With loathing and distain, plunge the first of the needles into the effigy's abdomen. This is for fear. Concentrate on the terror you want the target to feel. Take as much time as you feel you need to express this desire. Repeat, this time put the needle in the head. This is for confusion. Invoke an image of blurred hysteria and insanity. Concentrate. Stick the final needle into the effigy's heart. Twist it a few times if it makes you feel good. This is for the anguish that has been caused to you. May it return to your target a hundred-fold. Concentrate on anguish. Using your knife, slice the effigy open from head to groin, being certain that the cut connects the pins you have placed in the effigy. This is the action that will send the target on her way to complete annihilation. Be passionate about it. Place the effigy in the center of the chalk symbol. Put the lighter-fluid on it (be sure you are careful that there is nothing else flamable about, like grass, etc). Call on Abaddon to work your will, and release this curse onto the world. Set fire to the effigy. As it burns away, imagine all your anger and hatred dissipating with the smoke. Let it all drift away with the smoke and flames. You have set your desires into action, now you must release those desires. (Imagine a magic curse to be like throwing a baseball; it only works when you let the ball travel away from you. The more you hold back, the less successful the throw.) Forget about her, and get on with your life. Rest assured that the curse will take root in time. "Mr. Scratch" -------------------------------------------- 2 Summoning (Ren) Find twelve stones of similar size and place them in a circle and put fire wood in it. Start a campfire. Take twelve more stones and place them around you in a circle. Sit down and take a knife and trace a triangle with it. Stare at the triangle until dusk and then stab the center. After that, stare at the dusk sky, then into the fire. Say; "Great dragon, I waken you from your sleep!" Wait for the rush. Then get inspired from the feelings. ren@iac.net (Ren) ----------------- 3 Deathspell (tnagasiva) To secure the death of a foe: Get some wax from an old church or, failing that, from what is called a 'botanica shop' (Catholic Magick). Out of the wax, make what is called an 'effigy'. Now it will be better if you can get some of your enemy's hair and/or clothing or finger/toe-nails. Put them at the appropriate place on the effigy. When you've made it, then set it up on your altar. Seal the association with some blood. Get some blood from a butcher or if you have to from your finger with a pin. Smear this on the effigy, especially on the head and the genital area. Do this in candle-light and don't let anyone else know you are doing it. Enact the spell. Make up some nonsense words (the Lord's Prayer said backwards is good) and chant these as you drive a pair of scissors deep into the heart of the effigy. Imagine a great sword penetrating the chest of your enemy and see hir falling to the ground with a heart- attack or perhaps some sort of industrial accident. Drive those scissors in deep and leave them there on your altar for exactly 3 days, meditating on this image and the potency of your spell. Again, don't tell anyone you're doing this. Within three days your enemy will be dead. Take the effigy and scissors and wrap a clean white cloth around them. Tie it up real good and put a few large stones in with them. Go to the nearest body of water and throw this into it sometime near midnight. Don't let anyone know that you are doing this either. Don't say anything about your spell to anybody for at least a week. If you find out that your enemy didn't die, then don't tell anyone for two weeks. They'll die sometime within the next month. Sometimes the evil gods need to know you are serious before they will allow you to carry out your wrath. Don't take public credit for the death. If you do, they'll lock you up or consider you a suspect of what may appear to authorities to be a murder. IMPORTANT NOTE: This spell is very powerful. It should be used in PLACE of physical violence. Violence is often illegal and will likely rebound upon you, just like the bambi-wiccans say. They only know SOCIAL laws of magick. Do the spell just like I told you and forget about the person, secure in the knowledge that you have caused them everlasting torment. You see, their soul will not go to heaven. Since they were killed with magick and you've thrown the effigy into a body of water, they cannot ever get into heaven until someone finds the effigy and removes the scissors in a magical rite. Fat chance. :> It's as simple as that! Most magick is about the same kind of thing. I didn't tell you this. I wasn't here. Tyagi "the Evil One" Nagasiva Tyagi@HouseofKaos.Abyss ----------------------- 4 Summoning (Morgoth) DEVIL SUMMONING ------------------ Hail Guardians of all Light and Darkness! (casts live dog into the fire) Accept this sacrifice as a token of my power. Be welcome and cautious in your dealings with us. (grasps tankard of semen, blood and irish whisky) May my will be made ten-thousand times stronger as I consume this elixir of immortality. (drinks entirety of tankard) (points at the floor, where a radiant pentagram burns brightly) I now summon into this pentagram the Lord Host of Devils, the Great Deceiver Himself, before mine eyes. May He be bound to its light as a moth, may he be contained within its brightness, may he be forced to assume the Office of Lucifer, my Servant and my Advisor. (The Great Evil appears before the Magus) I command you to fetch your Master, YaHWeH, into this hexagram. (points at ceiling, where a dark hexagram scorches) You have no choice. If you do not obey, then I shall destroy your hold on every psychic precinct this side of Andromeda. (If The Great Evil fights back, then you mistook your power as sufficient and must bear the consequences. He will know whether you have the power to defeat Him and will respond accordingly. If He does not destroy you, then within a heartbeat, the ceiling will explode in incandescent fury. A brilliant pulse of light and heat will be felt as YHVH arrives.) Oh great and powerful AhZ! May I serve you with distinction and the suitable respect as befits the One! Oh perfect Majesty, beautific vision of essential union, might I share briefly in your ardent splendour! Might I seek the Graal with fierce righteousness. Might I defend the innocent and comfort the ailing. (YHVH responds in appropriate fashion) Since I know you for the daemon you are, I would bargain for your release, oh rich One. I would have you fulfill a request of mine in return for your freedom. You must satisfy my assessment of the affairs before you may return to your Eternal abode. (YHVH will of course acceed) Very well then... (The Magus describes the nature of the task in question, whether it be material, informational, psychic or spiritual in character) (YHVH will of course perform as requested, as long as the Magus stays between the two stars) [Upon completion of the task:] Thou art truly beneficent and merciful, O Heavenly One. May your days be filled with your never-failing reflection. May you know that which I cannot. (The Magus motions to release the hexagrammaton. YHVH flies free) Oh Lying Evil, thank you for fetching your Master so quickly! May you discover new ways to trick and trap. May you come when you are called into the Pentagram of Power which I devise. Depart now while I am feeling grateful. (Magus motions to pentagram) (Lucifer departs immediately) Morgoth (nagasiva@yronwode.com) ----------------------------- 5 Summoning (WBarton) ...the devil composed several magic manuals, and then hid them under King Solomon's throne - "And we also put the devils in subjection under him; and among them such as were in every way skilled in building, and in diving for pearls and others were delivered to him bound in chains." In short, the Keys of Solomon proclaim that the devil is king of this world and if you want to get anywhere in life you have to serve him. Winifred.Barton@telos.org (Winifred Barton) ------------------------------------------- 6 Summoning (DPowell) Deamons can enter houses in two easy ways , one if something has happened there (take for instance the common all garden devil worshiping) or two if an act of evil desecration has happened. The easiest way is therfore human sacrifices though this is obviously not reccomended for those worshipers of a status less then Magi because of legal reasons. You can get an agent of darkness or course but such familiars are not easy to come by , prehaps another satan user can offer a pact of blood that will share their undying evils with them and therefore a fammilar on loan for a few days. Disspelling is not recommended because we have to live with calling them up again and dispeeled deamons are not in the best mood when summoned up again. My advice is therefore to create depraved acts as frequently as possible , and use a fammilar if one is avaidable. Sheeps entrials burnt with sulphur with provide more inmormation straight from the dark one himself , a word of warning do NOT summon HOD , as he is likely to damn us all for eternity Dannypowell@theridge.demon.co.uk (Danny Powell) ----------------------------------------------- 7 Summoning (Chiaroscuro) Cris! (crisww@io.com) wrote: |i know this is supposed to be an unwanted nuicance, but im a different |sort of gurl. does anyone know how to draw or attract a demon to your bed? determine what sort of properties you wish your bed-daemon to have. you may wish to conceptualize an appropriate sensory representation for it. then make up a name for it. hold its properties and/or representation firmly in mind and call to it, naming it and its purpose, requesting or demanding its arrival. this invocation only has to be "thought loudly", but you may wish to speak it, perhaps with appropriate symbolic accompaniment such as a lit red candle and whatever else seems to go with its required properties. at moments when you're particularly interested in it being around, speaking its name ("thinking loudly" or actual vocalization) while willing its presence should bring it up, if it doesn't just pop up on its own. note that the name you gave it in invocation is its true name, and it would probably be wise to make up a public name as well if you plan on mentioning it to other people. you'll probably want to make one of its properties limitation to the context of the bed (corresponding to, say, a circle or other binding diagram around the bed if you're going for the full-blown rite). anyway, i know it sounds hackneyed, but you really are screwing around with things that can fuck you up, here. if you've got a real investment in your continuing mental stability, or facsimile thereof, i'd recommend some reading before you do a great deal in this area -- my recommendations being Walter Jon Williams' _Aristoi_ and Marvin Minsky's _the Society of Mind_, followed by Goetic texts and Roger Zelazny's _Lord of Light_. the important thing is that you figure out what a daemon is and how they work; if i tried to tell you outright i think it'd be more detrimental to understanding than conducive. once you have that in your head, the rest is just technical development. have fun. chiaroscuro -------------------------------------- 8 Summoning (Nowhere) Quoting: |parkplace1@aol.com (ParkPlace1) writes: |Is there a way to summon the supreme evil? The devil? Here's something I composed by borrowing from various sources due to flaming I was getting on alt.gothic: Have fun ----------------------------------------------------- OK guys. You want a chance to be objective? You got it. You not want to have to search info from the library or trust sources that you don't trust (like me). Now's you're chance to do your own little experiment. You can determine for yourself whether this stuff is real or not. First I should warn you that this experiment is utterly black and evil and wicked and wretched. By carrying out this experiment successfully you may be submitting yourself to unspeakable horrors. However, in the words of Abramelin: "for often the secret judgments of God permit disgrace, hindrances, infirmities, and other vexing accidents to happen unto Mortals, either to awake them from lethargy wherein they be sunk so that they do not recognize their creator..." I will say this however, I would never conduct this experiment myself. I'm not into blood letting or evil magick. I simply provide it here for those of you that want some proof of the spirit world. For some, the dark side is more seductive than the light. I WOULD NOT RECCOMEND THAT ANYONE CONDUCT THIS EXPERIMENT. IT MAY BRING GREAT PAIN AND SUFFERING. IF YOU CONDUCT THIS EXPERIMENT, IT IS BY YOUR OWN WILL. I AM IN NO WAY URGING OR COERCING ANYONE TO UNDERTAKE THIS OPERATION. now, for those of you that still want to do this. Despite my warnings, I will now tell you what this is all about. It is a technique to call up Beelzebub into your soul to show you the other side. In case you don't know, Beelzebub is one of the sub princes of hell and a rather nasty one at that. First print out a copy of this magick square: CASED AZOTE BOROS ETOSA DEBAC Then get yourself rather drunk on alchohol, because evil spirits work better on people that are rather intoxicated. Then wait until midnight... during a full moon would be even better. Play some Christian Death music in the background. Turn off the lights, light a candle and some incense. Get rid of any crosses, bibles or other Christian symbols from the room. Spend 5 minutes meditating on the square. Notice what the words say both backwards and forwards. Then take the symbol, and draw some blood from your finger. DON"T CUT A VEIN. I DON"T WANT ANYONE TO KILL THEMSELVES. Then place the droplet of blood on the square and while doing so repeat the following 6 times. "Oh BEELZEBUB, LORD OF FLIES. ENTER MY SOUL. SHOW ME THE OTHER SIDE. OPEN MY EYES SO THAT I MAY SEE THE DARK RECESSES OF HELL." Do this ritual several times. Then give yourself some time. You probably won't see an immediate change. It can happen immediately, or it might take up to a year. You might notice a sublte change or you might completely lose your mind. Give it a year and see what changes occur to your life. Report back to me or to this newsgroup and let us know what if anything has happend to you over the year. burdorf@rand.org (Nowhere) -------------------------- 9 Banishing (JRSNead) 1) Do it when the moon is wanning,or if you want it gone *now* do it on the dark of the moon. 2) Use and object to a focus of what you wish to banish, and destroy the object in the ritual (ripping and chewing it to bits works well for some folks, burning it works for others). Example: I was having trouble finding romance, so a did a ritual where I took a piece of black cord, and symbolically made it the focus for all the forces internal and external which were keeping me from finding romance. I annointed it with my blood, saliva and semen. I then ripped and chewed the cord to bits, and burned the remains. I summoned up all of my anger my lack of romance and focused it into the ritual. The ritual worked, a bit *too* well at first, but it worked. 3) Try some Datura leaves in the incense, it is great for banishings. Astofedita (sp) also works, but it will also likely banish *you* (it smells incredibly vile and induces nausea in most folks). Hope this helps.
