[from http://www.SatanicArmy.com/gothic.htm ] A Ritual Wrapped in Love LORD GOTHIC This little tid-bit is a very personal event yet I see it fit to make it into a social commentary. Through this story of a factual fairy tale if you will, I hope to maybe either raise eyebrows in disbelief or to possibly help those couples seeking such Satanic enlightenment. Love of the flesh is a greatly celebrated rule of Satanism, after all it's the first of the Nine Satanic Statements. This night blessed under the power of the 3rd full moon of the year was indeed a night that has indefinetly been burned into the memory of me and most cherished love, DaemonAngel. This was our night of love and fire...of smoke and incantations. Dressed in our all black garments we kneeled before our home made alter. All outside light was eliminated from the temporary temple and the candles were lit. I, Lord Gothic, brought forth a Holy Bible before the four Satans of our realm. With the love in my heart and soul, this form of sacrilege was to pay homage to Satan of the south, Lucifer of the north, Belial of the east, and Leviathan of the west. Clasping the black dagger in my hand, I hovered the blade of the flame of the candle...raised my arms, and swiftly stabbed at the cursed pages of the bible. DaemonAngel, in all of her beauty of the night, snatched the pages from their bindings and burned them. We took our turns taking the writings of this religious lie and burned them in a flame of truth. Revelations, Genesis, the Ten Commandments, etc...met their justified fiery demise. There was the bible in its proper form...charred and in black ashes. Continuing with our ceremony of love we brushed some of the many ashes of the bible and carefully placed them into our poison rings. DaemonAngel's intricate Yin/Yang ring and my cross ring (in which a wear upside down for sac religious purposes of course.) Placing the smoking bowl of ashes to the ground we began into the ritual. DaemonAngel being the High Priestess grabbed the Satanic Bible and flipped to the invocation of Satan page. She read the passage and when it came to "Infernal Names" readings..we spoke the names we so picked for this occasion, DA-Liliath and LG-Dracula. With the proper invocation read, she now went to seek the proper Enochian key. Then the the key was read...we called forth the powers of Satan to grant us our shared wish...to be together and happy forever...to bind our love in fire & flesh. With the proper chant "Shemhamforash...Hail Satan!" As we faced the western face of the world we kissed under the eyes of our gods of truth and enlightenment. Chalices in hand we drank to our love...to our infinite love. As the fires of hell burn bright, so as our love burns brighter. Now we are cuffed in the hands of our loving Satan. Now this ritual has brought us the forever hope of love. If out there, there are Satanic couples wishing to be blessed by the darkness...indeed this ritual a choice one. Thank you for the time...and remember always SATAN LOVES YOU!!! IT IS DONE... EOF
