From the Editor

Changes, Tolerance, Respect and Acceptance

T his third issue of Black Serpent is actually the Autumn/Winter 2006

issue. We have decided that as of 2007, we’re going bi-annually to free

up the time of the DB Publishing staff for other projects. While you’ll

notice the change in the frequency of Black Serpent, hopefully you’ll

also see the quality of the magazine improving. You’ll notice there is a

large section on Rites and Celebration this time around since we’re

including four months worth. We are always seeking writers. Consider

contributing your articles, fiction, and games.

With that out of the way, I want to tell you that in the last few

months I’ve been contemplating the meaning of tolerance and

acceptance and have come to conclude that many of us who practice

Demonolatry, Theistic Satanism and other darker poly/pantheistic

religions tend to want others to tolerate, respect and accept us and our beliefs, but some of us

don’t extend that same tolerance, respect, and acceptance to others within our own religions.

This is our downfall and why we have no cohesive voice between us, nor a sense of community

and friendship. While that community may never happen, we still can, individually, practice

tolerance, respect for and acceptance of others’ beliefs. Maybe if enough of us do this, in time,

we will be able to build interfaith community within our own religions. It made me realize that I,

too, can be intolerant. It’s no secret that I have stood against reverse Christian Satanists in the

past. But I’ve also recently realized that I have no right to not accept them as “true” Satanists.

While I may not agree with their beliefs, they likely don’t agree with mine either. To each of us,

the other is wrong. But is that any reason to look down our noses at one another? My answer is

decidedly, “No!” After all, we cannot condemn a man from drinking from the well that we drink

from every morning.

Finally, I give you this issue of Black Serpent. This time around we have a wonderful

article about people from numerous minority religions who came out with their beliefs. I am

excited about this article because of its diversity in the people interviewed and the numerous

faiths portrayed. We also have an article about group leadership from High Priest Delaney as

well as information about Religious Freedom and why it’s so important for Demonolators,

Theistic Satanists, and others to care and get involved. We hope you enjoy this issue!

Rituals For the Seasons

Oleum and

Incense of the

Quarter:

Leviathan

Basic Rite To Leviathan

This rite is from the book Modern Demonolatry by S. Connolly (¨1999)

and may not be reproduced in any form without prior written consent from

the author. It has been reproduced here with permission.

By J. Thorp

An oleum is a

specialized oil made

with herbs, flowers,

roots, and resins that

are used as offerings to

the Demons/deities.

Incense is an herbal

mixture that is used in

ritual for a purpose,

adoration/worship, or

meditation. It is made

of whole herbs, flowers,

roots, and resins and is

non-combustible.

The Alter must face the West most point of the ritual

chamber. A candle is set at each elemental point. The

elemental demons are invoked by use of the Enns with the

dagger. Belial first and working clockwise leaving Leviathan

for last. An incense of Calamus and Frankincense invokes

atmosphere.

Light the candles from Belial to Leviathan. Then -

Carrying a Chalice of water (with sea salt) in one hand and a

dagger in the other (doesn't matter which) approach each

point and kneel reciting the Enn for Leviathan and dip the

dagger into the water and sprinkle it above each candle.

Finally, invite the fifth element from the center of the ritual

space.

Leviathan Oleum

Kneel at the altar in prayer: "We pray thee Leviathan,

bestow upon us the strength of your design. Let the serpent

wise deal death to the lies of our enemies. Allow our empathy

to be our protection. Allow our anger to be swift with justice.

Be present that our enemies will not conquer us. We are as the

swift flowing tide ebbing to and fro. We humbly pay homage to

thee in our offer of sea salt and water that you may know our

respect for your vast strength. We offer requests of healing and

emotional balance that we may employ your creation to do so.

Hail Leviathan. Lord and Master of Water."

Olive oil

Calamus root (course)

Frankincense resin

1 tsp Sea salt

1 tsp of rain/river/stream

water

Leviathan Incense

Then comes the typical ritual body in which requests of

healing and emotional balance are burned within the alter or

primary ritual space fire. (i.e. a bowl, incense burner, or

bonfire.) Use the remaining water to put out the fire once the

requests have been burnt. The ashes must be crushed to a fine

powder and later dispersed in running water (i.e. ocean, stream). Some sects choose to

sing hymns and go into longer durations of prayer before the ritual closing.

Rituals For the Seasons

Powdered Calamus root

Frankincense resin

The ritual is closed as thus: "Hail Leviathan. Lord and Master of Water. We thank

thee for being present at our ritual. We bid you, go in peace."

Close the ritual as normal. If practicing solitary - change all "we" to "I" Also - the prayer

can be done with a single candle if you lack the space, time, or supplies to do a drawn out ritual.

Oleum and

Incense for

Eurynomous

Basic Rite To Eurynomous

By J. Thorp

Eurynomous Oleum

This rite is from the book Modern Demonolatry by S. Connolly (¨1999)

and may not be reproduced in any form without prior written consent from

the author. It has been reproduced here with permission.

This rite shall be done on the evening of October the 31st

between the hours of 8pm and 2am November 1st. The person

conducting the rite shall not eat or smoke or engage in sexual

intercourse 12 hours minimum prior to the commencement of

the rite.

Olive oil

Cumin seed

Poppy seed

Juniper Berry

Mandrake root

Hibiscus

This rite is particularily useful for cursing and banishing

negativity. This is the prelude to the Rite of Belial which is the

"New Beginning."

Eurynomous Incense

Dittany of Crete

(Optional)

Balm of Gilead

Wormwood

Rose petals

Lavender

Lilac flowers or oil

White Willow Bark

Use all black candles for elemental points. You may use a

personal "power" candle of any color you choose on your alter

if you choose. Place a chalice of sea salt mixed with water at

each point (or water directly from the ocean). You may choose

to have two chalices on the alter. One for the libation to

Leviathan and one for the ceremonial drink/offering to the

death demons. You should also place bowls of dirt on top of

which charcoal should be placed for the ritual incense - at each

of the elemental points and one on the alter for burning

requests. Your alter should face either your elemental point or

the North-West point of your circle.

***IMPORTANT NOTE - as you mix the salt and water with the dagger you must say the

following for each chalice you mix - "Talot pasa oida Belial et Leviathan"

Invite the elemental demons as you normally would by employing their enns. Invite

Satan from the center using the following enn: "Ave Satanis! Tasa reme laris Satan."

From the Northmost point you will invite both Baalberith and Eurynomous.

To invite Balberith employ the enn - "Avage secore on ca Baalberith."

To invite Eurynomous employ the enn - " Ayar secore on ca Eurynomous."

Then recite the prayer (or use one of your own if you prefer) -
