Notice that the name of 'Lucifer' is called upon in the example
given. If this ritual was being conducted between October 31-April
29, it would be Satan called upon instead.
The ritual must have at least 4 participants to be performed
correctly. There must be a Priest(ess), a celebrant, a deacon and
at least 1 person minimum to serve as the congregation.
Vestments
ALTAR-The altar cloth should be Black and Red
(to represent Satan) or Blue and White (To represent Lucifer)the
candles should be black or brown and they shall sit in holders on
the right and the left side of the idol. An Idol is defined as any
statue, picture or other rendering that depicts Satan or a
particular demonic spirit. There shall be a chalice of either wine,
water or apple juice. There shall be a black plate upon which the
hosts shall sit. A host in this context is defined as any wheat
product (bread or crackers and such) that shall serve as the body
of Satan. Some covens feel it is wrong to consume the body of Satan
and so they substitute apple slices (to represent the fruit from
the tree of knowledge) instead. Either way is acceptable.
PRIEST(ess)- Shall be robed in plain Black with
a red girdle. He (she) shall have the book of the coven in which
this ritual is to be hand written. A triangular hood with two eye
slits is traditional however this is optional.
CELEBRANT-The celebrant wears a red robe or
cloak and a black girdle is optional. The celebrant is armed with
the weapon of the working. The weapon of the working is defined as
any sword or dagger used to call the corners at the beginning of
the ceremony. There shall be a pentagram inscribed on the floor (or
as a rug for those of you who have carpeted ritual rooms) and the
celebrant shall not leave the circle for the duration of the
ritual.
DEACON-The deacon shall wear a black cloak or
robe with a purple girdle optional. It is the deacon’s job to lead
the congregation into the ritual room, light the candles and pass
out the wine and host at the proper time. If anything goes wrong
during the ritual (such as someone knocking on the front door, Dog
Barking) it is the deacon's job to handle it.
CONGREGATION-Shall be dressed all in black with
shoes removed. It is a good idea to provide mistles (booklets)
containing the parts that the congregant shall say during the
ritual.
THE RITUAL The ritual begins when all is set in
place. The candles are lit and the deacon goes out to retrieve the
congregation from an adjacent waiting area. The Priest and
Celebrant should already be in place. The Celebrant inside the
Pentagram and the Priest standing in the east (the altar should
face south).
Priest: I proclaim this the sabbat night of the Cathedral of
the Black Goat. Let this dwelling place be sanctified in the name
of our masters......
LUCIFER!
(celebrant points sword east)
ASTAROTH!
(celebrant points sword south)
Beelzebub!
(celebrant points sword west)
LILITH!
(celebrant points sword north)
CELEBRANT: By the conquering worm that hath swallowed the
sun, be their power mighty amongst us!
PRIEST: Lord Satan who art the shadow of the christian god
whose presence cannot withstand thee, I speak these words of agony
for thy glory. Thou art doubt and revolt, pride and knowledge. Thou
livest again in us and around us though it be a troubled time when
our enemy doth reign. Today thy sons and daughters are scattered
and celebrate thy cults in their hideouts. But thy people have
increased! We know that our dark Lord looks upon us with pride that
thy true and orthodox ones are united. This world that denies thee
thou inhabits, and the creator can only be blind with envy. Thou
hast won Oh Satan--though anonymous and obscure for a few years
yet. But the combing age shall proclaim thy revenge! Thou shalt be
reborn again in the Anti-Christ!
The science of mysteries, spurting suddenly like a black
wave already quenches the thirst of the curious and uneasy. Men and
Women see themselves mirrored in these waves of illusion which
intoxicate and madden. Oh beautiful Satan, black goat of the world,
I have fallen in love with thy tearstained face. The treacherous
hordes of christians shall tremble before thy mighty hand!
CONGRGATION: AVE SATANAS!
PRIEST: Oh mighty Lord Satan, liberator of all, we implore
thy presence amongst us HEAR OUR CALL! We come here in an attitude
of worship, that thou might grace us with thy lordship.
DEACON: Lord of Darkness, Lord of Fire, in our hearts all
others are forgotten for it is thee that we desire.
PRIEST: And if under a Black Moon know that thy witches and
thy warlocks will faithfully dance unto thee. They shall feast unto
thee and they shall drink unto thee! As it was, so now it
be!
ALL FEMALE PARTICIPANTS:GLORY TO THE HORNS THAT IMPALE THE
INFIDEL AND THE ROTTEN!
ALL MALE PARTICIPANTS:GLORY TO THE MILK OF THY BREAST,
BLESSINGS TO SHOW US WE ARE NOT FORGOTTEN!
ALL FEMALE PARTICIPANTS:GLORY TO THY PHALLIC ROD!
ALL MALE PARTICIPANTS: GLORY TO THY HOOVES THAT SHALL
TRAMPLE THE christian god!
ALL PARTICIPANTS: GLORY AND WORSHIP BE TO THEE, AS SATAN
WILLS SO SHALL IT BE!
PRIEST: And so it is that Satan's progeny be scattered.
However the sons and daughters of Lilith ye the very bloodline of
Cain shall reunite. Though it is that we are alike in blood to the
infidel, spiritually we are a different people. Ye it is the rite
and responsibility of those who are chosen to rekindle the black
flame and partake of thy essence. ('partake of thy gift' if apple
is being substituted for the host)When human and Satan become one a
power ensues that cannot be undone!
(DEACON now lifts plate containing the host. CELEBRANT gives the
plate a single tap with the sword saying the following
incantation)
DEACON: By the power of this whack, be this bread thy
essence black.
(The DEACON then distributes the host to all the CONGREGATION
serving then the PRIEST than the CELEBRANT and herself last)
(DEACON now lifts Chalice containing wine. CELEBRANT gives plate
a single tap with the following incantation)
By the power of this thud be this wine our Master's
blood!
And so thy Black Witches tread upon the earth with thy power
in we that thy will can be.
-At this time the ritual should receive a proper closing (ours
is private), the candles should be extinguished, and the
congregation should be led to a waiting area outside the ritual
chamber.
(more can be added to this ritual as proper closing however this
is all that is necessary)
