The Sacrificial Rite of the Eleven Flames
-
This ritual should be conducted on one of the liminal nights of the year, when the order of day and night is dissolved in a state of chaotic in-betweenness and the gates to the Outside are easier to open from within.
In addition to all the traditional tools and fetishes used within the workings of the Current, eleven new and ritually cleansed black candles are to be placed upon the altar, in a way that marks out the angles of the Sigil of Azerate. Each of these eleven candles must be inscribed with one of the names of The Eleven, as they are defined by us within the Babylonian context.
These eleven candles represent the Eleven Demonic Gods created by Hubur (Tiamat's Wrathful Shadow) in the struggle against Marduk. The collective name of these forces is, according to our tradition, Azerate, which also is the 'logos' and formula used within our kliffotic/Qliphothic stream as the voiced form of the true and voiceless Alogos of the HVHY (434). Azerate is thus the formula and sonic sigil used within the chaosophic tradition that bridges the gap between the Sumero-Babylonian forms of the Gods of Wrathful Chaos and their re-manifestations within the cabbalistic teachings, as the Eleven Thrones of the Sitra Ahra.
A fitting and good sacrifice is to be offered to The Eleven within this black rite, and the chosen and blessed victim is to be kept in a secured fashion close to the place of the working.
-
Chime the bell eleven times and ignite the central altar candle. Establish contact with the Outer Ones through the calling of the sacred formula and through the fitting opening ceremonies, as dictated by tradition and initiation. Proceed only when the Fire of the Blood of Kingu has been aroused within you and a concrete link with the Outside and a separation from mundane consciousness has been achieved.
-
Face the altar flame and vibrate the formula of Azerate:
"Vedar-Gal Tiekals Somdus Azerate!" (x11)
When done, recite the following salutation to the Wrathful Eleven as One:
"I, NN, praise Azerate, the commander of the dark legions uncountable and the holder of the highest dominion!
I praise Azerate, the Eleven-Headed Black Dragon of the Outer Darkness, who is the source of my power and the ruler of all Dark Gods manifested!
I, who forever serve the Wrathful Chaos, salute the merciless Azerate, the conqueror and destroyer of the hosts of the finite light!
Silim-Madu Lugal Epish Lemneti Azerate!
Hail them, who in the name of Tiamat, were created by Hubur in order to destroy Marduk!
Hail Azerate!
Hail them, who are the merciless sword of destruction that shall penetrate the very heart of creation!
Hail Azerate!
Hail them, who are the retaliator of the Primal Chaos of Tiamat and Abzu!
Hail Azerate!
Hail them, whose name is the visible but still hidden key to the locked gates of the unlawful dimensions of Chaos!
Hail Azerate!
Hail them, in front of whose black thrones all Wrathful Gods of Darkness proudly kneel!
Hail Azerate!
Hail them, whose anti-cosmic poison eternally shall extinguish the weak life spark of all the mortal gods of man!
Hail Azerate!
Hail them, who are called the Evil Dragon and the re-establisher of the lawlessness of the Primordial Chaos!
Hail Azerate!
Hail them, whose soundless screams of invocation shall awaken the Slumbering Dragon Mother, Tiamat!
Hail Azerate!
Hail them, whose black fires of wrath shall dissolve all forms and, through total formlessness, liberate the imprisoned flames of Chaos!
Hail Azerate!
Hail them, whose name turns the blood of the bastard gods of finite light into ice and banishes their messengers of falsehood!
Hail Azerate!
Hail them, who are the ruler of the Eleven Black Thrones of Outside, and the destroyer of the world of limitations!
Silim-Madu Lugal Epish Lemneti Azerate!
I praise my mighty God, Azerate, and swear to forever serve their anti-cosmic wrath!
I, who have partaken as holy sacrament the blood of the Undead Dragon, will now utter the Words of Power, which are the voiced symbols linked by us to The Eleven Heads of Azerate!
I, who am governed by the Living Blood of Kingu, now utter the names of The Eleven, who were created by the powerful magic of Hubur!
In the name of Azerate, I now utter the secret names of The Eleven and bring forth and channel the cleansing torrents of the Wrathful Chaos, which will make black my soul and deify my unborn Spirit!"
-
Show, with your left hand, the sign of the trident and eleven times chant the following Words of Power, which are the name-symbols of The Eleven:
"Mushmahhu, Ushumgallu, Bashmu, Mushussu, Lahmu, Ugallu, Uridimmu, Girtablullu, Umu Dabrutu, Kulullu, Kusarikku!"
(Mushmahhu = Horned, Seven-Headed, Serpent. Ushumgallu = Great Serpent/Dragon. Bashmu = Horned Dragon. Mushussu = Wrathful Serpent-Dragon. Lahmu = Heroic Warrior. Ugallu = Storm Beast/Lion Demon. Uridimmu = Wrathful/Mad Lion-Man. Girtablullu = the Scorpion-Man. Umu Dagrutu = Violent Storm. Kulullu = the Fish-Man. Kusarikku = the Bull-Man.)
-
With the help of the central altar candle ignite the eleven black candles placed upon the angles of the Azerate sigil. Do this in the correct sequence, so that the eleven flames are kindled in the same succession that our tradition teaches us they manifested in, and subsequently extinguish the altar candle, so that only the eleven flames light up the ritual chamber.
-
Bow before the eleven flames and then exclaim:
"Vedar-Gal Tiekals Somdus Azerate!
Ana-ku Sa-Mi Mu-Zu Azerate!
Halam-Nignam Azerate Ushum-Gal Lemnuti!
Silim-Madu Azerate!
Silim-Madu Ama-Ushumgal-Tiamat!
Gana Mushmahhu!
Gana Ushumgallu!
Gana Bashmu!
Gana Mushussu!
Gana Lahmu!
Gana Ugallu!
Gana Uridimmu!
Gana Girtablullu!
Gana Umu Dabrutu!
Gana Kulullu!
Gana Kusarikku!"
-
Pick up the dagger from the altar, point it at the flames burning upon the eleven angles and recite the following invocation:
"Ka-Gur Bad Azerate Ka-Gal!
O Wrathful Gods of Outer Chaos, hear now my voice resonate through the gates and the distorted angles of your dark dimensions, as I, the priest/priestess of the Dragon, stand ready to summon and channel the unbound blood of our Undead Dragon Mother!
Let now the cosmic barriers be crushed, O you who impatiently dwell on the Outside!
Establish now the spiritual and astral links that shall make it possible for me, who serves the wrath of the blind sword, to partake of and channel the innermost essence of the spilt Dragon Blood!
Hear me on this night of hungry darkness, O you who were spawned by the mighty Hubur, and bless me, who faithfully serve the anti-cosmic impulses of the Living Blood of Kingu!
Look kindly upon your imprisoned child, O you who rule over the Eleven Black Thrones, and with your black fires cleanse me, so that I shall be worthy of dreaming the scarlet dreams of the Slumbering Mother of Chaos!"
-
Place the Bowl of Offerings on the ground in front of the altar, and bring forth the prepared sacrifice. Hold the tied victim's head above the bowl and with dagger in hand recite the following:
"Accept this simple offering, O hungry gods who rule beyond the eleven gates, and in return for the stolen life-force and the warm blood that I offer you, strengthen the links that connect me to the source of all anti-cosmic wisdom!
Strengthen both the internal and external links that shall make it possible for me to channel the Dragon Blood, the most holy of all gifts that shall bestow upon me the illumination of your Black Light, and let me dream the secret dreams of the Heavenly Dragon Mother!
I spill the blood!
I kill the flesh!
I tear down the walls!
I crush the barriers!
Azerate, in the name of Tiamat, accept this sacrifice!"
-
Cut the throat of the blessed offering and collect its blood in the bowl. Put the empty vessel/body of the offering aside and smear your face with the warm blood and chant:
"Inga Na-Til Kingu!" (x11)
Proceed by smearing each of the eleven black candles with the remaining blood and exclaim the following:
"In the name of Tiamat, the eleven black flames shall forever burn in the depths of my soul!
In the name of Tiamat, and through the power of Azerate, the unworthy god of creation, Marduk, shall be defeated!
Hail Tiamat!
Hail Azerate!"
Focus on the power emanating from the eleven flames burning upon the altar and vibrate:
"Vedar-Gal Tiekals Somdus Azerate!" (x11)
-
Burn fitting incense offerings to the right and the left sides of the altar. Hold both of your hands above the eleven flames and recite the following invocation that calls upon the powers of the Blood of Tiamat guarded by The Eleven:
"Ama-Ushumgal-Sumun Tiamat, Ana-Ku Sa-Mi Mu-Zu, Silim-Madu Mummu Tiamat!
Silim-Madu Ama-Ushumgallu-Nammu!
Sumun U-Tu-A Ushumgal Molatta Gi-Gi Inga U A-Ni-Za-Dub, Na-Til U Zi-Zi Su-Ki Zu Ku-Kuga A-Aba!
Ka-Shur-Ra Ushumgal Pa-E Su-Ki Zu Ki-Tus, Dug Ama-Ushumgal-Tiamatu, Ki-Aga Mummu Tiamat Zi-Zi Haelm Nam-Lu-U-Lu Kidar U-La Tiamat Gi-Gi Haelm Da-Ra-Es Ki-Bala!

Ana-Ku Sa-Mi Zunem Sa Ama-Ushumgal-Tiamat!
Ana-Ku Sa-Mi Zunem Sa Sumun Tiamata!
Silim-Madu Ama-Ushumgal-Nammu!
Silim-Madu Mummu Tiamat!"
-
Lift both your hands up towards the altar, bring together your index fingers and say:
"In the name of Tiamat, Abzu, Hubur and Kingu, I now break the order of the cosmic elements and open the gate to the dark kingdom of Azerate!
By the power of the Death Dragon, I now open the forbidden gates to the dimensions of Wrathful Chaos and let in the anti-cosmic current of the Outside!
In the name of Ama-Ushumgal-Tiamat, I now break the order of the ten through the establishing of the angles of The Eleven and open wide the Dark Portal!"
-
Trace the dual lines of the eleven angles of the Azerate Sigil into the astral and intensely visualize the activated Dark Portal within it. Focus on the portal's widdershins swirling vortex and exclaim:
"In the name of Tiamat, and by the magic word of Azerate, the gates are now open!
Tukaga I Dinger Azerate Gage,
Ati-Me Peta Bab-Ka,
Peta Bab-Kama Luruba Anaku!Vedar-Gal Tiekals Somdus Azerate!"
-
Initiate a deep meditation focused on the disharmonic currents of the Wrathful Chaos and channel it in through yourself and let it spread outwards. Direct the venomous and bitter waters to create inner and outer changes and use the tools and ritual techniques needed to focus the power evoked.
-
When all the ritual work is done, thank the forces of The Eleven and praise their eleven names and their one name. Do not close this working. Let the eleven flames burn out by themselves. Make your bed on the ground in front of the altar. Silently chant the formula of Azerate until you pass through the gates of sleep. In dream, receive Their blessings and Awaken!
