Black Magic

Negative Mysticism

"Proceeding in the direction opposite to that which
is considered as positive", normal, acceptable or traditional.
Transcending ordinary experience, thought and beliefs. Losing touch with societies concept of reality.









"Vero è che 'n su la proda mi trovai de la valle d'abisso
dolorosa che 'ntrono accoglie d'infiniti guai".


"In truth I found myself upon the brink of an abyss,
the melancholy valley containing thundering, unending wailings."
~Dante

In League with Satan


Historically, any involvement or activity with demons or Satan was considered black magic. It was not measured by the good or evil intentions in the magic act. The Black Arts came to be defined as such because of its seemingly diabolical nature.
An example of some of the practices are the invocation and evocations of demons and the dead; paying honor to demons; the use of blood; performing rituals in graveyards as well procuring miscellaneous dead things and other ‘sordid’ cemetery items to be used as props and ingredients in rituals.
Cursing was done at times along with many other types of spells, but by no means is cursing the foundation of this path, it wasn’t then and it is not today! True black magic is not typical Satanism as reversed christianity. It is not even typical Satanism for that matter. Satan can be looked upon as an initiator, like the Watcher angels. Satan is also a lord of the Underworld and teaches the mysteries of black magic.
The christian religion has nothing to do with black magic. Blasphemy against the church was created originally by clerics and was a way for them to rebel as well as take the energy from their religious rites and use it to honor the reverse or opposite powers of what they were taught was correct.
Christianity was basically the only religion they knew and the only way they could do it. The rites of sacrilege have gained their own power over the centuries and have become the focus of a typical black mass.



History has recorded the diabolical and not always accurate practices that became known as the black arts, and it has managed to distort all practices which center on gaining or keeping the hidden knowledge held within nature, the olde gods, and darkness herself.
Most of the old tales of magic have their foundation in some sort of truth, but they (those who oppose or want to conceal the truth) quickly added to and changed the purpose, reasons and definitions of these practices, as well as throwing in damnation for all who approached it. History shows us that secret wisdom has always been kept from the general population.








True Black Magic



Black magic is the practice of harnessing the destructive as well as the creative power in darkness. It is appalling to most and considered a forbidden art because of its ability to destroy our illusions and uncover our true essence. A misconception about black magic is that most think that it is limited to only placing curses upon people. Others think the black magician is incomplete and will never achieve balance. This is not so, because we understand and utilize the process of destruction, chaos, death and creation, we are able to create a completeness within ourselves that most will never achieve.

The practice today still involves the invocations of demons and the dead, but with a difference in the manner in which the demons are asked to appear!
Black magic is the art of spiritual transformation by working with and learning from dark and death deities, demons, and entities. This path is traveled to gain the wisdom that is and has always belonged to the realm of darkness.
Black magic is considered diabolical because it follows the reverse order, which can also be observed in the symbolism of the inverted pentagram and the circle that is cast widdershins. Natural order only seems to be forward.
Black magic actually follows the natural order of chaos, death and the Underworld. Nature itself knows that chaos is necessary in order to create, maintain and break down all life. The function of chaos is seen as honorable, not evil.

Chaos in this sense meaning the void of creation. Order is a creation of the patriarchy and is unnatural and unhealthy. The ones who can not ‘see in the dark’ are the ones who distort what is found there, and this applies to people of all paths, even those who are on a dark path.
Some that are attracted to the left hand path already have a twisted view of what it is to begin with, and this usually does not change. It is because they can not see past the illusion of evil to gain any real wisdom. Black magic probably is evil, but that is in the eyes of the society that opposes, fears, and rejects what it does not understand.
Centuries of propaganda directed at disabling the dark powers have now made this a dangerous path. We are so far removed from the actual source of nature, creation and deity that it has become dangerous and difficult to access this wisdom now.


The black arts are the opposite of ‘white magic’ in the fact that it openly embraces and uses the negative - destructive forces and energies. Black magic deals directly with the forces of creation and the guardians of those mysteries. In order to find your true essence you must first go through the destruction process. Only when you are stripped of all you thought you were will you come to know who you really are. Again, this path is not an easy one to follow, it is a process that will lead you beyond what you think is possible.
This is why one must enter the Underworld before wisdom is gained. In the Underworld understanding must be joined with wisdom. This can only truly happen in the abyss or Underworld. They are the same place, but have many names and stories surrounding them. The qliphoth, which are the demons on the reverse tree of life, have gotten a bad rap over the ages. They are part of the destruction process and you must be destroyed before you can achieve any divine state. We have acquired much false knowledge along our way, and here we come to realize this.

The road that leads here is filled with hardship, that is why most turn back and never find it. Once you work past the upheaval and initial fear you will find comfort within the darkness. This will not happen over night, for it is a matter of trust on their part and hard work on yours. They are serious and it can get discouraging and bewildering at times. Magicians that are tormented by demons are the ones who go into this for the wrong reasons, so please get your intent straight. You will also receive the curse of Darkness, which will change into tranquillity when you have been purified.

Most peoples lives are built upon what society tells them is real. When the lies are exposed it can be a traumatic experience. This is not the only danger, it also applies to those with childish attitudes or are inflated with ego, dishonest intentions, and little to no understanding of what they are dealing with or doing. If you believe that demons are monsters, as status quo paints them out, they will likewise appear to you in this manner. You must condition yourself as a fit instrument for the energy you will receive, or it will do more than blow your fuse, it will blow you away completely. Their energy level is high and intense, it is the energy of creation.

Black magic is the process of personal transformation. The end result is a reconnection with the power of North, which is the Void or deity. You will possess the knowledge of the Otherworld, memory of the ancestors and the otherworlds, and become a guardian and the voice that connects the unseen and seen realms...
Through the ages north has been associated with darkness, and often evil. It is also the territory of death or the land behind the north wind, and herein lies the void that must be crossed before rebirth or reunion. Mystics have always represented deity as the void, or the silence of north, this is being able to communicate with deity by experience. When you begin the practice of black magic you create a void. When you find the true balance of opposites by regaining the lost and previously abandoned piece of self, the void fills.

.. The transformations that are encountered on this path can be considered brutal by normal standards, incredibly awesome and intense. We encounter beings, things, changes in consciousness and an all together foreign reality which in turn changes our reality into one that society would deem as foreign or schizophrenic. This is because the secrets that have been locked up and hidden away from us for millennia have finally been revealed. The path of darkness has always been associated with curse and death.

Black magic leads us to chaos and we fall from illusion. This leads us to ‘purgatory’ and death, which in turn opens us up to the power in and of death by journeying through the Underworld. Black magic breaks down ‘the outer’, our intellect, ego, mind, personality. Death brings the inner back to life by killing the mind. The entire process allows us to marry the inner and the outer where they can reign together harmoniously. This is what it means to be sovereign.







Seal of Leraikhe: Historically he is said to appear as an archer dressed in green; he incites battles and causes arrow wounds to putrefy. He holds the position of Marquis under the sign of leo & the moon. ~
He is a guardian of the secrets of death and transformation. ~








~ Words of wisdom from the UnderWorld

‘Wise is he that seeks to communicate & learn through respect , foolish is the one that seeks false power through curses & constraints of the spirit. Be warned saye we, the spirits of the UnderWorld, seek the true gifts of Darkness ~ and if ye seek us with disrespect, remember - we are not captive or bound to time, so when ye call and dare to curse there is no one bound , save you & thye works. Many there are that go mad within this black void for we bring the curse of Darkness, our gift to the wise & those who seek the wisdom from beyond the veils of time. It is we that do the testing not you, and if ye fail to persevere once thye quest has begun, the tree of death is where thou shalt hang evermore without the goal of North divine. We do not grant safe passage for this is up to you, the courage of the warrior is needed to navigate the depth of hel. Once you pass Modguds bridge, she will demand the toll of blood, die you will, but still remain in the human world. The only way to get to the North is through the UnderWorld. But if ye have the strength and meet the challenge, glorious things will soon unfold. The darkness keeps her secrets well, fools were not meant to survive & when ye hath finally arrived meet the whirlwinds and the deathless ones and find eternal life. We are here now, in the world - who among you seeks the truth? Our voices travel in the wind, listen, feel its power. Join us then and seek the curse, fear it not for in time it will reveal the true power of North divine & the savior in Darkness..’


Modgud: Guardian of the Gillar bridge (bridge of death). All the spirits of the dead must pass over this bridge and pay the toll in blood.

The demons and deities of darkness guard this hidden knowledge, and only those who have overcome their own fear and conditioning and have replaced it with respect and sincerity will gain the lost knowledge. These are the ones who seek wisdom at any cost. The road that leads there is filled with hardship and pain, this is why most turn back and never find it. Do not be fooled into believing that you will ever control them through any type of magic. When we wander out side of our realm of understanding, we are apt to make terrible mistakes in judgment ..
