Before the tools can be charged with power you will need to purify them. This is done both in order to cleanse their causal forms from unwanted energies and vibrations and to create a 'vacuum' or void that later can be filled with the currents and powers of the different formulae of the Nightside.
-
For this cleansing you will need salt (earth), water, incense (air) and a red candle (fire).
Position the altar towards the southern point of the temple. Place the Pentacle, Chalice, Wand, Dagger and Black Candle (called Dymadiel, which stands for 'the outer manifestation of the inner fire') on the altar.
Place a little container of salt on the pentacle. In front of the chalice place a bowl of water. In front of the wand place the censer filled with burning charcoal (the censer should be a small metal bowl or plate halfway filled with sand in order to isolate the heat) and a container with incense. In front of the dagger place an unused red candle. And finally place the black Dymadiel candle in a central position on the altar.
-
Open the ritual with the Opening Ritual of the Black Thrones, but instead of the dagger use the index finger of your left hand to trace the pentagrams. Proclaim your magical intent and call on the blessings of your dark gods.
-
Pour some of the salt in the bowl of water and stir it anti-clockwise with the index and middle finger of your left hand and seven times say:
"Salt and water, water and earth, cleanse the physical forms, cleanse the astral forms!"
Lift the bowl in front of you and say:
"With salt and water I will cleanse the physical forms! With water and salt I cleanse the astral forms!"
Place the bowl back on the altar and visualize, for about five minutes, a blue sphere take form around the bowl and saturate its content.
Dip the fingers of your left hand into the water and sprinkle the water four times on each of the tools. Begin with the pentacle and end with the altar candle (Pentacle, Chalice, Wand, Dagger and Dymadiel candle). Each time you sprinkle a weapon/tool with the water say:
"I cleanse the physical! I cleanse the astral! With earth and water I cleanse the causal forms of this (name of the weapon)!"
-
Burn incense in the censer in front of the wand and seven times say:
"Air through smoke and smoke through air, cleanse my tools, cleanse the mental forms!"
Lift the censer in front of you and say:
"With air and smoke I will cleanse the mental forms!"
Place the censer back on the altar and visualize, for about five minutes, a yellow (or a white, depending on the tradition that you follow) sphere take form and surround the censer and saturate the smoke of the burning incense with its energies.
Slowly pass each of the five weapons four times through the smoke and say:
"I cleanse the mental vibrations! With smoke and air, I cleanse the causal forms of (name of the weapon)!"
Place each weapon back in its original place on the altar after it has been fumigated.
-
Light the red candle in front of the dagger and seven times say:
"Light through fire, fire through light, cleanse my tools, cleanse the spiritual forms!"
Lift the candle in front of you and say:
"With light and fire I will cleanse the spiritual forms!"
Place the candle back on the altar and visualize, for about five minutes, a red fiery sphere take form around the upper part of the candle and saturate and give power to its flame.
Pass each of the five weapons four times through the flame (do this swiftly in order to avoid damaging the wand and the Dymadiel candle) and say:
"I cleanse the spiritual vibrations! With fire and light, I cleanse the causal forms of (the name of the tool)!"
Place each weapon on its original place on the altar after they have been purified through fire.
-
Take up the pentacle and turn towards the Throne of Belial (north) and say:
"By the blackened earth, the chthonic powers of the underworld and the Nightside of the plane of manifestation and through the Mortiferic gate of the north, I channel the Azothic emanations that are under the command of my lord Belial and direct them to bless, charge with power and consecrate this black pentacle!
In the name of Belial, I (your magical name) call in the currents of the northern throne inside this pentacle, in order to link it to the very essence of the black earth and create the magical weapon and shield that will protect me against the attacks of my enemies and facilitate the manifestation of my own magical will!
Mighty Belial, bestow now your powers upon me and through your blessings and the influence of your dark force make this pentacle into a worthy receptacle for your essence and transform it to a potent magical weapon!
Through the sinister energies that your esoteric formula calls forth, I now beseech you, O mighty Dark Lord Belial, to touch this pentacle with your kliffotic darkness and fill it with the magical powers of the Nightside element of the black earth!"
-
Hold the pentacle in your right hand and with the ring finger of your left hand trace a black invoking pentagram of earth over it and vibrate "Belial". Visualize the pentagram sink into the pentacle and see with your mind's eye a black sphere/aura surround it.
Chant the formula of Belial: Agilleath Tiddehmos Tlyfos Belial!, and for every time that you chant the formula feel and visualize the black light within and around the pentacle grow stronger. Continue with this for about 10 minutes and feel the pentacle pulsate with the power of the Nightside element of earth that you channel in the name and through the blessings of Belial.
When you feel that the pentacle is empowered enough lift it up in front of you and say:
"Disc and pentacle of earth, bringer forth of that which is willed, gate of darker manifestations, my seal of power and protecting shield, in the name of Belial you are now consecrated!"
Place the pentacle back on the altar and exclaim: "Hail Belial!"
-
Take up the Chalice and turn towards the Throne of Leviathan (west) and say:
"By the black moon's blood, the storming oceans of Chaos and the Nightside of the astral plane and through the Draconian gate of the west, I channel the Azothic emanations that are under the command of my lord Leviathan and my mistress Lilith and direct them to bless, charge with power and consecrate this chalice of forbidden elixirs!
In the names of Leviathan and Taninsam, I (your magical name) call in the currents of the western throne inside this chalice, in order to link it to the very essence of the Nightside astral plane and create the magical weapon and tool that shall function as the Grail, the blood-filled womb, the gate to the dark spheres and to the powers of the Dragon and my Black Goddess!
O mighty dragon rulers of the watery abyss, Leviathan and Taninsam, bestow now your powers upon me and through your blessings and the influence of your dark forces make this chalice into a worthy receptacle for your essence and transform it to a potent magical weapon!
Through the sinister energies that the esoteric Dragon Formula calls forth, I now beseech you, O Dragons of the Poisonous Sea, to touch this chalice with your kliffotic darkness and fill it with the magical powers of the Nightside element of astral water!"
-
Fill the chalice with red wine. Hold it in your right hand and with the thumb of your left hand trace a black invoking pentagram of water over it and vibrate "Theli-Tanin". Visualize the pentagram sinking into the chalice and see with your mind's eye a black sphere/aura surround it.
Chant the Dragon Formula: Tohu Tehom Theli Than Leviathan Tanin'iver Taninsam!, and for every time that you chant the formula feel and visualize the black light within and around the chalice grow stronger. Continue with this for about 10 minutes and feel the chalice and its contents pulsate with the power of the Nightside element of water that you channel through the blessings of Leviathan and Taninsam.
When you feel that the chalice is empowered enough lift it up in front of you and say:
"Grail of oneiric gnosis, chalice of poisons and elixirs divine, gate to the other side of the mirror, skull cap filled with lunar blood wine, in the names of Leviathan and Taninsam you are now consecrated!"
Place the chalice on the pentacle and exclaim: "Hail Leviathan! Hail Taninsam!"
-
Take up the wand and turn towards the Throne of Beelzebuth (east), elevate the wand in your left hand and say:
"By the screaming silence of Alogos, the storm winds of nothingness and the Nightside of the mental plane and through the Nihiliferic gate of the east, I channel the Azothic emanations that are under the command of my lord Beelzebuth and direct them to bless, charge with power and consecrate this scepter of mental dominion!
In the name of Beelzebuth, I (your magical name) call in the currents of the eastern throne inside this wand, in order to link it to the very essence of the Nightside mental plane and create the magical weapon and tool that shall function as the scepter of divination and the arrow of wordless thoughts that shall transfer, channel and focus my mental power!
Mighty Beelzebuth, bestow now your powers upon me and through your blessings and the influence of your dark force make this wand into a worthy receptacle for your essence and transform it to a potent magical weapon!
Through the sinister energies that your esoteric formula calls forth, I now beseech you, O mighty dark lord Beelzebuth, to touch this wand with your kliffotic darkness and fill it with the magical powers of the Nightside element of air!"
-
Hold the wand in your right hand and with the little finger of your left hand trace a black invoking pentagram of air over it and vibrate "Beelzebuth". Visualize the pentagram sinking into the wand and see with your mind's eye a black sphere/aura surround it.
Chant the formula of Beelzebuth: Vibarlal Dendas Tnasod Beelzebuth!, and for every time that you chant the formula feel and visualize the black light within and around the wand grow stronger. Continue with this for about 10 minutes and feel the wand pulsate with the power of the Nightside element of air that you channel in the name and through the blessings of Beelzebuth.
When you feel that the wand is empowered enough lift it up in front of you and say:
"Wand and scepter of wordless Gnosis, banisher of illusory mental forms, Alogos on the wings of death, bringer of the silent storms, in the name of Beelzebuth you are now consecrated!
Place the wand on the pentacle in front of the chalice and exclaim: "Hail Beelzebuth!"
-
Ignite three or more new charcoals and place them in the censer bowl/plate. Take up the dagger and face the Throne of Lucifer (south), elevate the dagger in your left hand and say:
"By the all-consuming and all-illuminating fire, by the forged steel of true and magical will and the Nightside of the spiritual plane and through the Luciferic gate of the south, I channel the Azothic emanations that are under the command of my Master Lucifer and direct them to bless, charge with power and consecrate this Dagger of Promethean Fire!
In the name of Lucifer, I (your magical name) call in the currents of the southern throne inside this dagger, in order to link it to the very essence of the Nightside spiritual plane and create the magical weapon that shall function as the fiery sword of my Satanic Will and as the torch of forbidden fire, that shall burn to ashes all illusions and obstructions that stand in my path towards the Acosmic transcendence, which is the only true aspiration of my Spirit!
Mighty Lucifer, bestow now your powers upon me and through your blessings and the influence of your dark force make this dagger into a worthy receptacle for your essence and transform it to a potent magical weapon!
Through the sinister energies that your esoteric formula calls forth, I now beseech you, O my beloved Master Lucifer, to touch this dagger with your kliffotic darkness and satanic light and fill it with the magical powers of the Nightside element of fire!"
-
Hold the dagger in your right hand and with its sharp edge cut your left hand and smear your blood on its blade. Hold your left hand over the chalice and let some of the blood trickle down into the wine. Step back and with the index finger of your left hand trace the invoking pentagram of fire over the dagger and vibrate "Lucifer". Visualize the pentagram sinking into the dagger and see with your mind's eye a black sphere/aura surround it.
Hold the blade of the dagger very closely over the burning charcoals inside the censer in order to heat it up as much as possible. Chant the formula of Lucifer: Lylusay Tateros Volt Sids Lucifer!, and for every time that that you chant the formula feel and visualize the black light within and around the dagger grow stronger. Continue with this for about 10 minutes and feel the dagger pulsate with the power of the Nightside element of fire that you channel in the name and through the blessings of Master Lucifer.
When you feel that the dagger is empowered enough take it in your left hand and lower its hot blade into the wine filled chalice and listen to the hissing sound of the Serpent of Fire. Elevate the dagger and say:
"Dagger of my satanic will, forged and tempered through blood and black fire, light bringer of the darkest gnosis, fulfiller of my Acausal desire, in the name of Lucifer you are now consecrated!
Place the dagger on top/over or behind the chalice (this depending on the form and size of the chalice) and exclaim: "Hail Lucifer!"
-
Still facing the Throne of Lucifer take up the Dymadiel candle that shall represent the dark quintessence and function as the Central Flame on the altar. Elevate the candle in your left hand and say:
"By the Black Light that saturates the four thrones of the Nightside, by the Anti-Cosmic impulse and emanation of Wrathful Chaos, by the source and spirit of the kingdom of Sitra Ahra and the eleven headed guardian of the Mystery Unmanifested, I channel the Azothic emanations of the inner and outer Chaos!
In the name of Azerate I awaken the Black Flame within and direct it to bless, charge with power and consecrate this Dymadiel candle!
In the secret name of the God of the Other Side and by the number 434, I call upon the quintessence of the four black thrones and direct it into this candle, so that its flame can represent the outer manifestation of my Inner Fire, but also the inner manifestation of the Outer Black Light!"
-
Take up the dagger and with its sharp point carve the sigil of the black flame on the lower part of the Dymadiel candle. Above the sigil of the Black Flame carve the Eleven Angled Sigil and vibrate At-Azoth. Place the dagger back on its original position on the altar.
Hold the Dymadiel candle in your right hand and with the middle finger of your left hand trace the invoking pentagram of Spirit over it and vibrate: "Azerate". Visualize the pentagram sinking into the candle and see with your mind's eye a brilliant black sphere of light surround and penetrate it.
Take the Dymadiel candle in your left hand and chant the formula of Azerate: Vedar-Gal Tiekals Somdus Azerate!, and for every time that you chant the formula feel and visualize how the Inner Fire and the Outer Black Light makes the energy within and around the candle grow stronger. Continue with this for about 10 minutes and feel the Dymadiel candle pulsate with the power of the Nightside element of Spirit that you channel in the name and through the blessings of Azerate.
When you feel that the Dymadiel candle is empowered enough place it in a central position on the altar and light it with a match and say:
"Outer manifestation of the Black Flame within, causal reflection of the Black Light, key and gate to my magical Self, sinister representation of my Spirit's might, in the name of Azerate you are now consecrated!"
Salute the flame with the left hand mudra of the Trident and exclaim: "Hail Azerate! Hail Chaos!"
-
Take the dagger in your left hand and face the Throne of Belial (north), elevate the dagger and exclaim:
"Hail the Pillar of Mortifer! Hail Belial!"
Face the Dragon Throne (west), elevate the dagger and exclaim:
"Hail the Pillar of Chaosifer! Hail Leviathan-Taninsam!"
Face the Throne of Beelzebuth (east), elevate the dagger and exclaim:
"Hail the Pillar of Nihilifer! Hail Beelzebuth!"
Finally face the Throne of Lucifer (south), elevate the dagger and exclaim:
"Hail the Pillar of Lucifer! Hail Satan!"
Still facing the Throne of Lucifer trace a burning black (equal-armed) cross in front of you. Trace first the vertical line downward and then the horizontal line from right to left.
Place the dagger to the right side of the Dymadiel candle and take up the chalice with your both hands. Elevate the chalice to the middle point of the burning cross and say:
"By the rays of the Black Light and in the name of the Thaumitan, I (your magical name) partake of this blessed wine, which has been charged by the currents of the Nightside and now contains the essence of the Dragon's Blood!
In the name of Azerate, I drink the Sanguis Draconis and praise the four Black Thrones, that together constitute the tetragrammaton of the Sitra Ahra!
Hail Belial! Hail Leviathan-Taninsam! Hail Beelzebuth! Hail Lucifer!"
Drink the blessed blood-wine of the Nightside and when finished exclaim: "Hail Azerate!"
-
Place the chalice on the left side of the Dymadiel. Place the wand in front of the dagger and the pentacle in front of the now empty chalice.
Sit on a chair (or on the floor) in front of the altar and focus your eyes on the flame of the Dymadiel and meditate over the inner and outer powers that you have awakened and strengthened through your rites, and partake of the energies that flow through the new links to Sitra Ahra that your now consecrated magical weapons have become.
-
When you have ended the meditation rise up and once again turn to each of the thrones (north, west, east and south) and thank and praise them for the powers that they have bestowed upon your weapons and for all their blessings.
The ritual is closed and the Dymadiel candle extinguished.
