                                    Sacrifice
                                        
   Although it was over seven years away, I believed the time was right to
   begin the planning for my performance of the Ceremony of Recalling; a
   sinister ritual of sacrifice where the victim or opfer was offered to
   Baphomet, the dark Goddess of Satanic tradition, regarded as the Bride of
   Lucifer. According to the tradition I was heir to, the ritual was performed
   every seventeen years by the Grand Master or Grand Mistress who represented
   that tradition - the opfer being a Priest of the tradition. In the
   ceremony, the Mistress of Earth identified with the role of Baphomet.
   
   The sacrifice could, of course, be purely symbolic. It had been a long time
   since a voluntary sacrifice had occurred, the opfer, in the recent past,
   being carefully chosen. I believed I should continue this recent trend. I
   would need to plan the rite carefully ~ carefully choosing those who would
   take part. They would be sworn to secrecy, and would have to have no doubts
   of any kind. I, like a few others, understood the meaning of the rite
   itself - it would continue a tradition, creating a link with past deeds and
   thus magickal energies, and it would also create or draw down its own
   sinister energies. These could be directed to achieve a specific goal, or
   they could be directed into a chosen individual or individual who would
   have an important sinister Destiny to fulfil, or they could be stored to
   await further use. Whatever, it was an extremely powerful and sinister
   rite.
   
   Such a sacrifice would thus be for a specific Satanic goal, and in
   accordance with Satanic honour the opfer [for this would have to be an
   involuntary sacrifice] would choose him/her self by their deeds. That is,
   their removal would benefit evolution, and consequently aid the sinister.
   They would not be chosen at random, as they would not be, despite the
   claims by those who knew nothing about genuine Satanism, virgins or
   children. They would be those whose removal would actively benefit our
   long-term aeonic goals. Let me express this plainly so that it will be
   understood. The victim or victims would be the type of person or persons
   whose death by whatever means would not be mourned - someone of whom many
   would say: 'He/she deserved it...' The sacrifice would be akin to an act of
   natural justice. Naturally, it would be myself, in consultation with a few
   others, who would decide, and this decision would be based on sinister
   strategy or aeonics.
   
   Such an opfer could be chosen by such means at other times and the
   appropriate rite of sacrifice performed, but the Ceremony was more
   specific: its aims, intent, were for a definite purpose. Accordingly, I
   began to plan for the ritual ~ 1 already had a few vague ideas concerning
   suitable candidates, and asked a trusted Guardian of one of the Temples to
   begin research into their backgrounds. I also visited a few possible sites
   for the ritual, researched others, and began to consider those who might
   participate with me.
   
   Of course, I had undertaken sacrifices before ~ in the approved manner. And
   even before those, I had tried a ritual of sacrifice. This was in my early
   days, before I assumed my role as heir. I, with some others involved in
   politics and vaguely involved with the sinister, planned to sacrifice
   someone to commemorate the founding our our new political movement. We
   chose the victim, and gathered on a crag in Yorkshire one night. Our plan
   was to will the victim to fall over the cliff to his death. So invokations
   were done, energies directed. The victim became possessed, stumbled and
   fell. Unfortunately, he fell only a short distance, and was mostly
   uninjured. So in that sense the ritual failed. I knew why - of those
   gathered, only myself and one other really wanted to cause someone's death.
   The others were not committed to the sinister.
   
   My other attempts were successful. The victims fell by assassination, or
   were victims of 'accidents' - all achieved by my "underground" political
   work, and what followed thereafter. I simply - before the act of execution
   - dedicated their death to my sinister cause. It was quite simple, and very
   effective, even in battle. I was merely continuing a long~standing pagan
   tradition - dedicating enemies beforehand, and then killing them, for a
   cause, of course. Being enemies, they deserved to perish, their death
   aiding the sinister dialectic. Such was the "approved" Satanic manner. Thus
   did the victims choose themselves.
   
   Naturally, those who have no understanding of Satanism, as well as those
   who oppose that philosophy of living, portray sacrifice differently.
   According to them, it is always the 'innocent' who are victims, who are
   opfers. They seldom, if ever, define what is meant by 'innocent' - and
   cannot, however they try, define on a satisfactory basis, what 'evil' is.
   Hopefully, my revelations will destroy such myths - as they will destroy
   the attempts by the feeble, mostly urbanized, people who call themselves
   'Satanists' and who deny sacrifice exists or ever has existed as a Satanic
   practice. These people know nothing about real, primal, Satanism - they
   like the glamour of the sinister but are weak individuals, lacking in
   character, who play at "roles" in a fantasy world. They do not have the
   passion, the spirit, the desire, the pride or the creative genius of
   genuine Satanists. Such people, in fact, would make good opfers ...
   
   Finally, what I have written before bears repeating - wars are the ultimate
   sacrificial rites, and it no coincidence that sometimes the siniste
   rdialectic has aided these, and occassionally brought them about.
