[from http://www.dnaco.net/~raensept/vampset.htm ] THE ART OF VAMPYRISM BY DAIMON EGAN We will now provide the reader with instructions to release the Vampyric essence. Perform the ritual which follows only one or two times a week. You may begin to experience immortality and, yes, power beyond your wildest dreams. Choosing a suitable subject is a private matter--we leave that to our reader's intuition. Once you have made your choice, stick to that one project for several weeks (beginners improve with prac- tice). IMPORTANT! DO NOT ANTICIPATE RESULTS! YOU MUST HAVE COMPLETE AND ABSOLUTE FAITH IN THE POWER OF YOUR PSYCHE! REMAIN COOL AND CONFIDENT AT ALL TIMES! Perform the ritual PASSIONATELY and with total singularity of purpose! Upon completion, blow out the candles and relinquish all thoughts pertaining to the ritual--that is, of course, until the next time. Above all, do not tell anything to anyone. Your victim must be kept totally ignorant about your nocturnal proceedings. Preparations The altar, positioned against the west wall, should be draped with a black cloth. Above and behind the altar, at eye level, hangs a black inverted cross. If you are using a photo, affix it to the wall, just beneath the crucifix. Upon the altar you must have the following items: two black candles with holders (additional lighting may be provided by black candles throughout the chamber), a ceremonial dagger, a human skull (or reasonable facsimile), a bell (the loud, clanging variety), and a chalice. Music Egan's favorite is Night On Bald Mountain by Mussorgski. A fabu- lous sorceress we know loves Blade Runner and the theme from Miami Vice. Whatever you choose, remember that setting--the correct "tone" is extremely important. Do experiment. Elixir In this working the chalice must be filled with some red liquid which the celebrant enjoys. It matters not what it is. What is important is that it represents the blood of the sacrifice. The Black Flame As mentioned in Dante's Inferno, it must be placed in the center of the altar. A sterno can provides the bluish-black flame. Dress Black, of course! An amulet bearing the inverted pentagram must be worn. Rite Ring bell in following sequence--six times in the direction of the south, six times toward the east, and six times toward the north. Lift dagger and point it at crucifix--recite the invoca- tion. Invocation "In nomine dei nostri Satanas Luciferi Excelsi! In the name of the Master Satan, His Excellency Lucifer, I command the forces of Darkness and the Infernal Power within!" (Trace the cross with the dagger--top to bottom, then right to left.) (Light the Black Flame--continue with invocation.) "The Black Flame is kindled, and the Gates of Hell swing wide open, revealing the dreaded daimon _________ who comes forth to work His/Her will upon creation! Beware foolish mortals, for it is my double which now comes and appears before ye! Behold! I am the god of yesterday, today, and tomorrow - the Guardian of Time and Eternity! Beside the Prince of Darkness - an equal (in strength)! Sovereign! Unique! Undefiled in Wisdom! Un- matched in Strength! My astrological mission? Accomplished! My Satanic destiny? Realized and fulfilled! I call upon the elements to serve me and the forces of creation to manifest my desires!!! Arise!!! Enter into this working by the words of which follow:" (Again, point the dagger at the crucifix--recite the Invocation of the Elements:) Invocation of the Elements "Vampyre!! Dracula!! I seize upon and manifest the power of the Vampyre. Come forth Dracula, that I may use your form to execute my most Exalted and Daimonic Will! Color my imagination with stirring legend and folklore! Cloak me in layers of invisibility and secrecy. Bestow upon me stalk and flight - the form of wolf and bat! Enable me with sharp fang that I may pierce deep, suck- ing hard and rich, fresh warm blood of my chosen sacrifice!" (Raise chalice towards crucifix as an Offering, dipping the index finger of your right hand into the liquid. As you speak your victim's name (below), run that finger over the rim of the chal- ice in a counter-clockwise direction.) "I partake of this chalice, the Vessel of Life, and gorge myself on the essence of him/her whose name is as this sound, (victim's name)." (Drink from chalice - drain it completely!) (You are now ready to summon forth the Four Crown Princes of Hell! As you pronounce each Name, trace the sign of the inverted pentagram in the air directly in front of you at full arms reach, using the ceremonial dagger. The Summoning "Come forth O' Mighty Prince! Accompany me! Make your presence known to me!" Face the south) "Satan!!" (face the east "Lucifer!!" (face the north) "Belial!!" (face the altar) "Leviathan!!" The Grand Conjuration "Behold the evil spirit of _________, leaving a black shadow over the earth. "Beware!! Beware!!" scream the ravens of the night!! By foot, by paw, by wing and claw, I hunt for quarry!! Through the angles of the curved dimensions I travel, flying out across the hot winds of Hell!! Concealed beneath my flowing cape, a crystal reveals where you hide!! I seek you ________, I find you ________, I track you down ________!!! Behold my fangs as I dive for your throat!! Feel my sharp, pointed teeth as they pierce your tender flesh!! Huge leathery bat wings enfold you and surround you, making a prison from which there is no escape!! Hungry jouls tear into you, sucking deep!! Greedily gorging myself, I consume frantical- ly all that there is!! Fresh life force now courses through MY veins!!" (The ritual now builds to a climax as you directly confront your victim - Extend arms, fingers outstretched as if "reaching out" to his/her image. With the effort of your Supreme Will, repeat the following COM- MAND several times until exhaustion ensues:) "I DRAIN YOUR DAYS!!! I DRAIN YOUR NIGHTS!!!" "...with ever increasing power, the form of the Vampyre ________ does manifest itself!! Look upon me, ________. Set your eyes upon my hypnotic stare ; you feel pulled - drawn towards my evil glare!! My gaze is as deep as a bottomless well ; you find your- self tumbling, falling - YOU FELL!! All awareness is of me. You have forgotten who you are ; you have NO identity!! You are but a vassal, a vessel, a shell ; obey my commands - you are under my spell!! I drain you. I drain you again and again ; again & again & again & again ; there is no end, until the last drop I've tasted. Your soul is now mine ________. You are wasted!! The Vampyre is, the Vampyre was, the Vampyre shall be ; my Phantom will live through eternity!! And mortals? THEY FEAR ME!! As they should. Take care not to anger me ; if they would!! For I speak the ineffable WORDS of POWER!! Madariatza, torezodu!!! Oadariatza orocaha aboaperi!!! Tabaori periazoda aretabasa!!! Adarepanu coresata dobitza!!! Yolacame periazodi arecoazodiore, od quasabe qotinuji!!! Ripire paaotzata sagacore!!! Umela od peredazodare cacareji aoiveae coremepeta!!! Torezodu!!! Zodacare od zodameranu, asapeta sibesi butamona das surezodasa tia balatanu.!!! Odo cicale qaa, od ozodazodama pe- lapeli IADAMANA!!! By the Powers of darkness and Shadow and Light, I return to my body; I'm soon out of sight - ready to strike another night!! Until then, the coffin's shut tight..." (Replace lid on sterno, covering the Black Flame.) (Ring bell in opposite direction to Opening - clockwise.) "SO IT IS DONE!!! (Blow out candles.) (END OF RITE) Translation of above - Open wide the Gates of Hell!! The Lower Heavens beneath you, let them serve you!! Govern those who govern!! Cast down such as fall. Bring forth those that increase and destroy the rotten. No place, let it remain in One Number. Add and diminish until the stars be numbered!! Arise!! Move!! And appear before the covenant of His mouth, which hath sworn unto us in His justice. Open the mysteries of your creation, and make us partakers of His under- standing!!" .......Keep the Hellfires burning........ EOF
