"Who is this, without death, can journey through the kingdom of the dead?"
Forget your fear, no one can hinder our passage, for I will not abandon you in this low
world.
..and now, already well within that gate- descends the one who will unlock
this realm for us.
~ * Dante’s Inferno
T
his
is the realm of twilight.
And the place where mysteries unfold.
The guardians yield to us their treasures, and we weave the magic of the Otherworld.
Beware when coming here for you
must cross the gate of time.
Once you arrive, your soul will remain and a guardian you'll be, in service to the King and
Queen , spanning one times seven years.
A guardian is one with the soul of the land, and the bridge, the balance and the voice that
reaches out through time.
And when the terror in the night transforms it reveals
the beautiful Underworld.
In here the predominant dimension is one where the Otherworld reigns supreme.
It has brought new life to the legends of the Nether realms, and this is now reality. An awesome world
of witches, warriors & wizards; spirits, goblins, gods and the true magic of enchantment. If you think
I jest you'd better move along, for the truth of this place runs through my veins and is
verified by my tongue. I am a guardian,
not only do I tell the tale & carry the voices but I also protect this which is now my ancient land.
If you care to cross the bridge then please stay a while and we bid you welcome !
Our hope is that you may gain some understanding as you roam these halls of death and
feel the comfort of the shadows safely as our guest.
In this place where nightmares are real and fairy tales true, night is day, death begets new
beginnings and life brings with it the end, such things
there are & that I have seen, that you my friend would never believe.
Open your heart, enter the
dark and a guardian will
await you there...
Introduction
..'magic' has become completely misappropriated by association.
It has been reduced to its most pathetic form by the whimsical
delusions & contempt of the mislead modern practitioners,
thereby
losing its true power & leading us away from our
ancient legacy.. ~Jyade
This page will serve as a very brief introduction to the realm of the Otherworlds in order
to give you some general
info on the subjects
of death, necromancy and the Underworld. This is actually the most important as well as the most interesting part on the
journey into the secrets of the black arts, for this is the place where we enter their (spirits, guardians,
gods) realm and meet them face to face, and where some of us become one of them.. or perhaps is it that we now remember
who we really are, and from whence we came- the painful echo of long forgotten memories, a legacy.
This is the heart of our story.
I tell the tale that has been silenced for so long and has fallen only upon deaf ears. I am the voice, the heart and the soul within the Winter wind.
Once you enter here, there are many initiations to be undergone.
This stage is very different from the first part, which is black magic itself.
Black magic initially is terrifying because of the break downs that occur, and the madness that
almost always occurs with it. This is past madness and terror. The devastation of this realm
is all together different.
Here we become trapped within the ice, but if you are strong and survive, you will be told as
well as shown things you would not think possible.
This is the realm of death, for you must die in order to gain entrance. If you are a true seeker
of the mysteries of life, then the land of death awaits you...
Note: The initiations are carried out by the beings of this realm & not
by humans
"One who passes uninitiated into the Underworld will be unable to rise
from the mire, but one whose soul is pure will rise to dwell with the Gods"
~ * Plato
One of the first transitions encountered after you enter the Underworld is that of the vampire.
It is also the most disturbing initially because it is a complete and unfamiliar change. The vampire as discussed in this
section is relative to ‘living’ persons versus the reanimated corpse. The person dies in many ways and the foremost is
that his soul or spirit leaves the body and stays in the Otherworld. Words do not give this state any justice, for it is
a most unpleasant state of existence, at least until you become accustomed to it, and still it will never resemble your
former life. You are truly empty and quite dead. Disease and other such break downs also occur. Blood figures prominently
in the legends of the vampire and in reality this is also true , but with the difference being that it is our own blood
which is at issue. We who enter gave a gift or sacrifice to the guardian of the death-way of our own blood, which in
turn causes
the blood within our body to change.
This is what generates the vampire condition. There is a chemical change that occurs
and has been called by some the awakening of the blood. This is how the information will initially be passed. Trying to
medically correct this condition is waste of time and money and more unneeded pain.
Again, I can attest to that personally.
Being "undead" is only the beginning..
The path to and through the Underworld is a battle. The journey takes many years and it's filled with uncertainties
and danger, hardships, challenges - inner, outer and inter dimensional, all of which require endurance, courage,
and perseverance, and from these ordeals are the legendary mead of inspiration and wisdom gained. There is also the
mission of re-enchantment and service is required (there is more to that, but I will cover it in another book)
. Here you will also learn that magic is a condition and has very
little to do with casting spells.
By crossing the gate of time, one has earned the ability to interact within their
dimension, communicate with the dead, the ancestors, spirits,demons, beings and gods. This path is one that celebrates darkness,
death, the ancestors and the true spirit of the universe, it also requires service to the Dark Trinity, the Underworld and
its rulers. When one enlists into the military they are then referred to as a solider, this is no different. Your life no
longer seems to be your own, and things are expected of you. The only true difference is this, there are no discharges,
honorable or otherwise. To leave is to die, once you have come this far..
The undead is one who has gained entrance into the Underworld, and has come to terms (but not fully) with his death,
and has begun his apprenticeship as a Black Mystic and Master Vampire...
"But with swarms of specters rose from
deepest hell,
With bloodless visage and with hideous yell.
They scream, they shriek, and groans and dismal sounds Stun my scared ears and pierce hell’s
utmost bounds." ~
* from Homers Odyssey
Hell is none other than the christianized version of the pagan Underworld and
pre dates Christianity.
The idea was based on the Greek Hades, which was a diversified place.
All actions associated with death and darkness point down,
and so eventually it was thought that god,
heaven and eternal life were up or away from us .
The Underworld is a mystical place of transformation and power and those who are yet living may
gain this knowledge. Because of this it's true purpose and power have been concealed and lost over the centuries
by the destroyer patriarchal religions as well as society and tradition. If we retrieve the lore of this forgotten place,
we will
eventually destroy the destroyer and replace Leviathan on her rightful throne. Leviathan, also known
as Tiamat or Chaos, represents the Void, creation and the Divine.
The art of necromancy is one that will eventually lead us to the Underworld. This is the shadow
realm of in-betweeness. On one side we have the realm of the living, on the other side
is the kingdom of Chaos and the Divine. The Underworld is our contact point.
This is why the texts of old warned that necromancy was the most dangerous of the magical arts. Gaining
this sort of access and wisdom comes with a price. Howeve, not all who seek will find the key
to open the door.
Powers of Darkness
& Spirits of Death
Will you follow me into the land of death
unleash the ecstasy and breathe your final breath
Set your soul free and you will ride the rushing wind
Join the wild hunt, live the legacy
Come with the demon horde to where the spirits roam
Hell will be your only home and Death your greatest friend
If you truly want to live, you must kill your mortal soul
And should you lose your mind in this poison sea,
remember your treading on unhallowed ground,
the forgotten path into the black unknown
Fear clenches at your throat and the darkness begins to suffocate
leaving you to your doom
You find it hard to breathe, now you can never leave.
Struggle with it no longer, simply breath the poison breath
Prisms of chaos shower me and I emanate the blackness of my world
Phosphorescent shadow more alive than dead and deader than the dead.
The paradox of nothing, while everything tortures me
The middle ground of in-between, trapped beyond duality Copyright 2001 Jyade Cythrawl
Death also means transition and leads us to transformation. It is
only by opposing this transition that death and death
energy becomes debilitating and its guardians horrifying.
The guardians of this realm will teach us that change is
necessary and we need not fear the dark. When our fears
dissipate we gain understanding, which must happen before
we can gain any wisdom. You needn’t fear moving beneath
the earth, for death is not dying, it is rebirth.
When the storm fades the gentle darkness will finally allow you to hear
your own voice. Only death can teach us the wisdom of life.
The destruction of black magic and/ or going through the death process may leave you awe struck, or it will leave you
traumatized. The destruction is meant to free us, but we may decide to live in the wreckage, agonize over the loss and
remain trapped and miserable by choice.
