[from http://www.earthlight.co.nz/users/spock/recaling.txt ] From The Black Book of Satan III: THE CEREMONY OF RECALLING With Sacrificial Conclusion. Participants: Mistress of Earth - in white robes Master of the Temple - in blcak robes Priestess - in a red robe tied with a white sash Guardian of the Temple - in a blcak robe, with a white mask Priest ('The Chosen One'/Opfer) - in a white robe Congregation - in red robes Preparations: The night before the ritual the Priestess bakes the consecrated cakes made from wheat, water, egg, honey, animal fat and marijuana. An hour before the ritual the Priestess nad the Guardian lead the Priest to a place where he ritually bathes (if possible this should be a lake or a stream if the ritual is undertaken outdoors) and changes into his robe. The Priestess gives him cakes which he eats. The congregation wait outside the Temple (or Temple area if outdoors - see notes) and the Guardian leads the Priest toward them. The Priestess blindfilds the Priest and takes him to each member of the congregation who kiss him. He is taken into the temple where the Mistress and Master wait and is followed by the congregation. The Ritual: On the altar - red candles and quartz tetrahedron. Incense of Jupiter to be burnt. Chalices of strong wine. THe Master intones (ie. vibrates) three times 'Agios o Atazoth' after which the congregation gather round the Priest and chant the 'Diabolus' while slowly walking round him anti-clockwise three times. The Master and the Priestess (or two members of the congregation chosen and trained as Cantors) chant in parallel a fourth apart (or an octave and a fourth) 'Agios o Baphomet' while the Guardian lifts the Priest and lays him on the altar. The Mistress removes the robe of the Priest and anoints him with civit oil. She then removes his blindfold. When the chant is complete the Priestess stands by the altar while the Mistress stands beside the Master, the congregation beginning to walk slowly anti-clockwise around the altar chanting the Diabolus. The Priestess and the Mistress remove their robes, the Priestess arousing the fire of the Priest with her lips. When she is satisfied, she signals to the Guardian who lifts the Priest from the altar and forces him to hneel in front of the Priestess. As the Guardian does this the Master kneels before the Mistress. The Priestess copies the Mistress word for word and action for action, using the Priest. The Mistress places her hands on the Master's head. Master: It is the protection and milk Of your breasts that I seek. (The Mistress bends down and he suckles her breasts. She then pushes him away, but he kneels before her, saying:) I put my kisses at your feet. And kneel before you who crushes Your enemies and who washes In a basin full of their blood. I lift up my eyes to gaze Upon your beauty of body: You who are the daughter and a Gate To our Dark Gods. I lift up my voice to stand Before you my sister And offer my body so that My mage's seed may feed Your virgin flesh Mistress: Kiss me and I shall make you As an eagle to its prey. Touch me and I shall make you As a strong sword that severs And stains my Earth with blood. Taste me and I shall make you As a seed of corn which grows Toward the sun, and never dies. Plough me and plant me With your seed and i shall make you As a Gate that opens to our gods! (The Master has congress with the Mistress - and the Priest with the Priestess - while the congregation continue with their slow walk and their chant. If the 'Sacrificial conclusion' is undertaken then the ritual then the ritual is complete with the details under that heading. If this conclusion is not undertaken , then the ritual continues as follows after the Master reaches his highest ecstasy:) Mistress: So you have sown and from your seeding Gifts may come if you obediant heed These words I speak: (The congregation cease thir dance and listen: they are joined by the Priestess, Priest and Guardian who form a circle around the Master and Mistress.) I know you, my children, you are dark Yet none of you is as dark Or as deadly As I. I know you and the thoughts Within all your hearts: yet Not one of you is as hateful Or as loving as I. With a glance I can strke You dead. (She then goes to each member of the congregation in turn kissing them all on the lips, and removes their robes. She then takes up a chalice of wine and offers it to the person (male or female) of her choice. The person chosen sips the wine, hands the chalice to the Mistress who offers it to each member of the congregation in turn. When all have drunk she says:) No guilt shall bind you No thought restrict! Feast then and enjoy The ecstasy of this life: But ever remember I as the wind that snatches Your soul! (The Mistress takes the person she has chosen and indulges herself according to her desire. The congregation consume the consecrated cakes and wine and take their own pleasures according to their desires. After the festivities have begun in earnest, the Mistress should she so desire, directs the forces of the ritual by concentrating the energies upon the tetrahedron and invoking through a gate, the powers of the Dark Gods into the participants to spread outwards upon the Earth.) Sacriticial conclusion: The canditate (who is always male and who ideally should be in his twenty first year on the Summer Solstice chosen for the ritual) is chosen by the Mistress from among the Temple members on the Summer Solstice one year before the ritual will occur. If the chosen one accepts this honour then he becomes an honourary Priest for the year and is allowed to choose from the members of the Temple a woman to be his Priestess. In a simple ceremony the Mistress seals them in union, dedicating them to the Dark Gods. If by the Winter Solstice the Priestess is not with child, then the Priest may choose another woman to be his Priestess. The child , when born is adopted by the Temple and raised accordingly, being given great honour and , if found suitable, trained to fulfil the role of Mistress or Master. At the Spring Equinox, the chosen is permitted to give his favour to any one female member of the Temple and should issue result from this, the child is adopted by either the Priestess of the chosen or by the Temple according to the wishes of the Mistress. After the Spring Equinox, the chosen lives with his Priestess, retiring from all mortal affairs save his duties as Priest to the Temple. He shall also arrange his temporal affairs in readiness for the day of the ritual. Should the chosen at any time fail to observe his vow by fleeing and hiding from members of the Temple, he shall by all the Temples of the Order and all kindred temples and Orders be placed under a death curse, and the Guardian of his Temple sent to seek him out and terminate without warning his existence. The Guardian shall not rest until this task is complete, and the Mistress may appoint other Guardians as well to assist in this should she so desire. After the congress between Priest and Priestes, the Guardina places a hood over the head of the Priest, fastens his ankles, binds his wrists while the Master, on a signal from the Mistress completes the sacrifice using the sacred knife, collecting some of the Red Elixir in a chalice. This Elixir is used by the Mistress in the baking of the sacrificial cakes which all the members present will eat during assembly on the night of the next new moon. The cakes consist of wheat, fish, fowl, spring water, egg and salt together with the Red Elixir, animal fat and honey. After the sacrifice, the guardian removes the body and the Mistress takes up the sacred knife, pointing it at the Master saying: So you have sown and from your seeding Gifts may come if you obediant heed The words i speak. She then takes the Chalice with the Red Elixir, dips the tip of the sacred knife into it and anoints each member present who have formed a circle around her. The ritual continues as before with the Mistress saying: I know you my children ... The Guardian takes the body and buries it in a secluded spot prepared beforehand. It is on this place of burial that the Temple gathers on the night of the new moon to eat the sacrificial cakes. In former times it was sometimes the practice to sever the head of the chosen one and place it in the Temple or the Temple area if outdoors for a day and a night. During this night, initiations would be conducted and the head shown to new Initiates. Notes: Rituals outdoors should be conducted within an (isolated) stone circle during twilight. If the 'sacrifical conclusion' is undertaken the ritual occurs on the Summer Solstice once every cycle of seventeen years (or nineteen in some traditions). The one chosen, according to ancient tradition, reaped many benefits in the realm of the acausal (or the lands of the Dark Immortals as it was sometimes called) where that eternal aspect of the individual which initiation into the darker mysteries created was transported after the mortal death to begin on another plane of existence. This belief made willing sacrifice poosible. EOF
