Creation of a Patreon page.

I recently came to the conclusion I can go deeper and create more of a ripple in the word if I began a Patreon.  I will continue to post blogs detailing one of a kind occult information, however my activities can be further expanded and all my areas of interest integrated effectively through the Patreon media. Please browse my goals section including my recent posts to see what type of results I am aiming for. My Patreon can be seen here.

Fire from Below. Ascension through the Black Arts.

An excerpt from another e-mail:

"How can you talk about connecting with higher level spirits when you summon demons and practice the black arts?" 

I am being asked this from the perspective of European daemonology so I shall focus on Lucifer for my answer.

Lucifer is God's first creation, fashioned for one counter-intuitive purpose; rebellion. As a brilliant but arrogant Archon, Lucifer quickly sought to both defy and usurp God. Whether by force or by choice, Lucifer eventually exited God's visible light, and entered outer darkness. Lucifer meaning light-bringer or torch-bearer, has no choice but to carry God's eternal flame as he illuminated the abyss, inevitably spreading God's fire from the Creator's unmovable position, known as the Alpeh, or Alpha. The Alpeh or Alpha of the Alpha and the Omega...for the Creator is both.

This fire is God's ever expanding consciousness. The fire is life and death, it both warms and consumes. Our experiences, from birth to death, are God's experiences, and as God's personal understanding increases so to does the potential for our own. God is perfection not yet fully realized nor attained. Perfection is the end leading to stagnation and what becomes stagnant dies. Lucifer's eternal rebellion against God, his continual distancing from the visible light of God, building distant dimly lit kingdoms to imitate God, and all within the outer darkness of God's unending psyche; serves to bring illumination and make known to God what God is. The mystery of God is infinite, the perfection inherent within God can never be fully realized, nor attained, and thereby life is forever.

In Kabbalistic terms Malkuth, or Earth, is one of countless physical realities Lucifer carried God's light too. We are a far away kingdom shrouded in dwindled radiance; the dull black altar of Malkuth encircled by muted colors of dense materializing elemental forces. If we are to glimpse the face of God, then one possibility to do so is to ascend skyward on wings of fire. A spiritual rocket propulsion system which ignition begins when we delve into the infernal. The infernal in respects to European Daemonology is the astral daemons, most notable the Ars Goetia, the Seventy-Two daemons of Solomon, but the daemons of the Grimorium Verum, and Black Raven also apply.

King Paimon

I have stated many times, working out of Daemonological Grimoires, will either make you or break you. Even though the daemon is summoned as an ally, the relationship between daemon and conjurer is (always will be) adversarial (if it is to be a healthy relationship). The daemon never has your best interest at heart. Some daemons are more congenial than others. King Paimon, Vassago, and Seere, are good- natured. But be warned as good-natured, or amiable is different than good. Ted Bundy possessed a friendly inviting smile and was very polite. Ted also had a plethora of sadistically tortured and sexually mutilated female bodies in his basement. Don't be someone who can't see the forest because of the trees.

A magician employing the Ars Goetia places his or herself in proximity of astral daemons. This triggers a multitude of contingencies. More often the daemons eventually bend the magician to do their will. Why is this? Daemons are portrayed as belligerent misshapen monsters, thirsting for blood and dealing vice. True, some fit that stereotype. However the majority seem indifferent at worst. Not pleasant but a far distant cry from a nightmarish jumble of scales and claws. Expecting the boilers of hell the magician instead finds a hot tub. The magician eases in, and to his or her peril, gets too comfortable. Subtly the daemons once bound by the magician, start giving orders and set the magician to task.

Michael and Lucifer

We must be careful. Lucifer is second only to God (there is a complex mystery regarding Archon Lucifer and Archon Michael but that is for another post). Lucifer creates by mimicking God. Lucifer may have delivered us the spark of divinity so we might wield God's power (magic and science), but Lucifer is not God. As we employ magic and science we must be clear in our objectives. If we walk Lucifer's path attending to just our own desire and vanities; as Lucifer is still an agent of God by virtue of his arrogance, we also shall become slaves to daemons by virtue of ours.

Lucifer embodies selfishness. His splendor out shines the sun's but provides little warmth. Above all Lucifer desires adoration. He demands ever increasing sacrifice but gives very little of himself in return. Lucifer is the holographic capstone the Illuminati seek to materialize and complete their great work of world domination. However Lucifer topples all who's glory might rival his. Thereby any great work done in Lucifer name is a monument to vulgar stupidity.

If however one walks God's path when conjuring daemons to aid in their great work, a chain reaction of spiritual alchemy is set into motion by what my linage terms "moral friction".  This friction occurs as the moral force of the magician meets the moral force of the daemon. As previously stated the relationship between magician and daemon must remain adversarial. Contrary to the obscene idiocy of certain internet occultists, the magician is never to align with the daemon's agenda, unless the magician's ultimate goal is to be committed to mental institutions and become jaundice tinted junkies. This is not to say one cannot be empowered by a daemon (my occult work is supported by a legion of daemons. I use powders, pills, elixirs, philters, etc all empowered by daemonic forces), however daemons work for me, and to achieve my great work on the path of God the Most High.

Moral Friction

The daemon's moral force should act as a grindstone for sharpening the Magician's moral authority. The daemon will continually test the resolve of the magician, and like the Zionist money lenders, offer deals to the magician with terms which are near impossible to keep. If the magician foolishly accepts then piece by piece the daemon will own the magician part and parcel. The magician on the path of God, constructing his or her own temple of Solomon, achieving their great work, ceaselessly wrestles to remain as both grand architect and on site foreman. The magician commands the daemon as there no other sane alternative. The magician expects the daemon to offer resistance, and attempt to deviate the magician off the path of God. It is then the magician may step into opposing moral force of the daemon, create moral friction, and hone his or her edge.

It is the sparks caused by moral friction which ignite the magician's spiritual propulsion system, set his or her wings ablaze, and ascends the magician's incendiary soul skywards toward the celestial realms. The magician is God in miniature. Lucifer is to God what lesser daemons are to the magician. Lucifer is mighty enough to provide moral friction for God. God is the greatest magician and scientist in ALL creation, forever on a quest for deeper understanding of God's own self. One could say the sparks which fly from the moral friction between God and Lucifer are the sparks of our divinity and the creation of lesser daemons. To meditate on and draw intelligent parallels between Lucifer and God, and lesser daemons and the magician would not be a fruitless exercise in the great work of a magician utilizing black magic as an avenue for elevation.

Daemonic etymology: Serguthy from the Grimorium Verum. The Dark Mirror of the self.

Excerpt from an e-mail I received:

"The name of the demon SERGUTHY means "water from a well". I Googled SERGUTHY and found out he has power over women. I asked another occultist. I know you call this guy an idiot all the time but I took a chance. He said that no one can say what the names of the demons really mean. I am confused. SERGUTHY means "water from a well" but he has power over women? This all sounds made up". 

There is a reason daemonology falls under the classification of occult. Occult denotes a thing, generally a body of knowledge, which is hidden, or secret. The reason for secrecy can be for ill or will, but no matter the moral heading, occult or mystery tradition is meant to preserve knowledge and ensure when it is passed down, it is done so correctly. The occult arts contained in Grimories, such as the Grimorium Verum, where purposely left incomplete. Without proper transmission the dabbler (someone not ready to commit themselves to the art is a dabbler) is unable to do more than spook him or herself.

Pick every grain of spilled meth out of your carpet! GUARANTEED!

The names of daemons are integral to the occult arts preserved (more or less...mostly less) in daemonological  Grimories. Both the nomenclature and etymology concerning daemon yields even deeper secrets regarding their individual nature. Let me say this, that "idiot", if it is who I suspect the e-mail is referring too, is beyond the descriptive limits of the word "idiot. This person (?) is a sexually transmitted as well as intravenously transmitted diseased pathological liar, a junkie, a sociopath, a thief, a danger to themselves and others, deserving of his impending incarceration. This person (?) has ZERO authority to speak and should be mocked into oblivion. Now, having said that, this person is once more grievously incorrect. One can in fact say what the names of the daemons really mean. 

In respect to the daemon SERGUTHY, the Grimorium Verum says this: "has power over maidens and wives, when things are favorable". In the hierarchical structure of the Grimorium Verum  SERGUTHY is a grand chief among daemons, under PUT-SATANICA who is subordinate only to LUCIFER. This places SERGUTHY high on the shelf in terms of authority and influence. A powerful daemon indeed. What does "water from a well" have to do with SERGUTHY? Until I received the above mentioned e-mail, I had not heard that SERGUTHY meant "water from a well", however there exist parallels between what I was taught and "water from a well". 

In an effort to share legitimate information (which will soon be confabulated into meaningless drivel as has happened so many times. My blog posts have been copy and pasted, and my work plagiarized for years now. If you are seeing occult information multiple cuts above the usual moronic rigmarole on the internet, I feel very comfortable stating that 7 out of 10 times, I am the sole source of it) I will offer this; the name SERGUTHY  has its etymology linked to "water trickling in a cave or cavern". The phrase"water from a well", fits nicely into the same vein. However the question remains; what does water from a well, or cave, or cavern, have to do with SERGUTHY and power over maidens and wives, when things are favorable?

Neither the author of the Grimorium Verum, nor the ferocious daemonological tradition contained therein, cares about your sensitivities, your gender bias, or your identity politics. Should you somehow visit the Grimorium Verum's field of fucks concerning your triggers and aggressions, micro or otherwise, you will find this field appallingly barren, or in a word" fuckless", as to mean, not a single fuck to be given. If this offends you, I direct you towards my personal field of fucks. There you shall find my field equally troubling in it's absence of fucks to offer you as condolence. 

Now that the dismal level of concern the Grimorium Verum has for anything you hold sacred is established, it will be easier for me to bridge for you, the meaning of SERGUTHY "water trickling in a cave or cavern" and SERGUTHY "has power over maidens, and wives, when things are favorable".

The secret and true power of the daemon SERGUTHY is to manipulate the chemical and fluidic response in a woman.  Whether this be her glandular secretions, the moisten of her eyes via tear duct, the salivation levels in her mouth, the drip or trickle within her vagina. Concerning women, the wetter the better, and ideal conditions exist when roads are slippery. SERGUTHY "water trickling in a cave or cavern" or "water from a well" or water from deep or secret place, should now be clearly evident.

Women are likely to peel off their panties after a cry and or emotional release. They feel vulnerable, require validation, and they find that through sex. A woman who just had decent sex is also more agreeable to ideas, and suggestions. While the majority application of this true and secret power will be geared towards sexual conquest, this is no by means it's only utilization. The emotional tinkering of a woman is how it begins, but where it ends is based on the magician's intention. There exists a plethora of reasons a magician may wish to make a woman cry tears of either happiness or sorrow, send her salivary glands into overdrive, or increase her pineal gland secretions. 

The power over women SERGUTHY has is, "when things are favorable", and those favorable conditions are brought about via the manipulation of her "water works". It should not go without saying that herein the true and secret power of SERGUTHY lies, inherently, a great potential for extortion of women. However simply because such inherent potential exists does not mean a magician need make evil use of it.

It is not SERGUTHY, nor SATAN, nor LUCIFER, nor BEELZEBUB, nor ASTRAROTH, nor any other daemon who actually makes evil happen. Evil is done by man alone. For all the world's evil, it is man/woman-humans who are to blame. The black arts and vice laden daemonic powers are employed by man and to meet the desires for which man has employed them. Claiming the devil or daemons made you do it is pointing a finger at your own dark mirror's reflection. All the daemon did was fulfill the request you made of made of it. But I digress, that line of teaching leads to the true and secret powers of the daemon PUT-SATANICA from the Grimorium Verum,  and the spiritual, and magical implications of the accuser. That is a whole other blog post and one that is not coming anytime soon. 

I have employed the daemon SERGUTHY to release deep trauma in women, bring about cathartic cleansing, lessen depression, and brighten emotional outlook. If one reads this blog post carefully, they will discover a potent and beneficial method for stimulating a woman's psychic development using the true and secret powers of SERGUTHY.  

I do not fear my reflection in my dark mirror, nor will I tremble when I hear the accuser's words accounting my deeds to the Most High. I will not shrink at the hour of my trial. My relationship with the adversary is not adversarial in the common way. 

The spiritual, mental and physical maturity required to stand before daemons of the European daemonological tradition and be healed not harmed, be cleansed not singed, and be dominate not dominated, is a maturity that is both genuinely rare, and worth attainment. 

If you are to commit yourself to this method of spiritual development you need know this; as rewarding as it is, this path is fraught with great and deliberate difficulty. I mean that in the most real way. You will either make yourself or break yourself against this cruel and unforgiving rock, and do so while treading a crooked path, along a razor's edge. 

To paraphrase Levi, for as soon as you being this path you will be assaulted by blind and ignorant forces. Lesser persons and lesser spirits a like will assail you. Even stones will rise up and hurl themselves at you. The gloom of the earth will send phantoms and astral larvae to attack you. Unfortunately too many individuals have wrongly assumed those words to be archaic mumbo-jumbo, or purely symbolic, somehow not applicable to them. They did this at their own peril. The internet (YouTube in particular) is rife with mentally unstable and unhinged lunatics insanely babbling about the occult, demons, and magic as evidence of this. May they be eaten quicker to quell both their noise and their suffering. 

Do not be one of them. Tread lightly but with purpose. Strive to know thy self and do not be a fearful of what you discover, instead seek to understand it without self loathing. Surround your with the light of the Most High before entering the lower realms. Do not be repulsed by your reflection in the dark mirror. What you see in the dark mirror is perhaps your greatest source of power on this earth, and you cannot ignore it, run from it, or wish it way. You must exercise not exorcise your daemons, and you must eventually negotiate with the devil for the key to heaven.

Do this and you shall never tremble at the words of your accuser.

9/23/2017 Secret Seal of Solomon, King Asmodeus Conjuration and Papa Candello Cedifie service.

My astral guard dog.

Triangle of the Art.

The September 23, 2017 ritual is one for books. My conjuration of King Asmodeus (a daemon second to none in terms of power) was a rousing success and provided frighteningly accurate divination for petitioners (including a Senator and other government officials). The boons tasked to King Asmodeus  have already begun manifesting for the members of my temple and the Secret Seals of Solomon made in their exactitude. Hear this! Without possessing a Secret Seal of Solomon, fashioned EXACTLY as it is stated with the Lesser Key of Solomon, preforming effective Solomonic Magic is impossible. The same is true of both the Grimorium Verum, and Grand Grimoire.

Entering trance for magic mirror scrying.

They too have requirements that must be met. Requirements I have indeed met and with which I am well acquainted. I can provide a long list of celebrity occultist frauds who haven't fulfilled even the basic requirement to activate the traditions they endlessly theorize about, but have never once practiced.


My linage is an exceedingly rare Caribbean High Magic tradition. Born during the Haitian slave revolt when pilfered French Grimories fell into black hands and under African eyes. My Ceremonial Magic is devoid of Golden Dawn influence, and absent of Crowley-styled fuckery.

Papa Candello Cedifie!

Through my linage; the Loa Papa Candello Cedifie (head of Dominican Voudu) can be present at every Solomonic rite I preform.Why? That is secret to my house. What is not a secret however is the noticeable ripples on the astral realm my temple caused. This was a once in a lifetime event, performed underneath the firmament where the 12th Sigh of Revelation shown bright in the celestial canopy. For those of you who where a part of it, your Secret Seals of Solomon and answers to questions will be to you soon.

The secret seal of Solomon and conjuration of King Asmodeus event. This night is made exceedingly auspicious as September 23rd, 2017 reveals the 12th Sign of Revelation within the celestial canopy. For this semi-public ritual I will not only draft the secret seal of Solomon in accordance to the Lesser Key but also arrange an audience with King Asmodeus. This without question is a once in a lifetime event. The 12th Sign of Revelation contains global implications; being held in collective human subconscious for over two-thousand years. Never again shall the opportunity arise to obtain an authentically prepared seal under such impactful circumstances. In addition the extraordinary force behind summoning King Asmodeus during these conditions cannot be overstated. Personal items may be place on his sigil to be enchanted by the strength of King Asmodeus's influence and dominion. Astragals, or dice, will be cast over his seal to divine answers of past, present and future. Lastly King Asmodeus shall be petitioned to grant boons of wealth and prosperity to all in attendance and all who have paid to be astrally seated among his audience.

$200 for the Secret Seal of Solomon.
$50 to have an item placed on the sigil of King Asmodeus.
$25 to be astrally seated at the event.

But wait...there is more.

Here are the results (what I can publicly show) of the August 21st, 2017 Solar Eclipse Palo Mayombe rite. My nfumbe, wearing the skin of the Four Conquering Winds M'pungo, was fed and sent out on winds of fire to win all battles and solve all problems.

At the aforementioned Palo Mayombe rite I began the procedure to authentically craft the "To See Spirits of the Air" formulary contained in the Grimorium Verum. The heads of three roosters cultivate in the well of a particular tree in order to bring about the strongest results. This preparation will be ready after the 23rd of September.

To See Spirits of the Air formula- $20

-Papa Crocodile.

9/23/2017 ONCE IN A LIFETIME Secret Seal of Solomon preparation and "To See Spirits of the Air" concoction from the Grimorium Verum.

I am not surprised no other Ceremonial Magician or Occultist have mentioned the astounding astrological conjunctions in the near future. So much for your contributions to the Arte. My temple however will go down in the annals of the occult.

Let it be known! At least one temple has long been preparing for August 21st and September 23rd, 2017 . We will align our work with the great heavenly canopy and forge a more prefect union between the above and the below.

Where the Umbra falls there is Kalunga.

Aug 21st will be dedicated to the religion of Palo Mayombe. On the open plain, somewhere Pacific Northwest, and in the Umbra shadow of a Solar Eclipse (the biggest in 88 years) I will make blood offering to the scariest female spiritual force in the universe: Centilla N'doki. I will be asking her to empower my Nfumbe with her hyper-ferociousness to defend my temple, destroy it's enemies, change the sick to well, poor to rich and weak to strong.

Centella N'Doki

If you would like work to be done during these unrivaled conditions contact me immediately.  

On Saturday, Sept 23 I will lead my temple in a Solomonic rite that is possible only every 2000 years. If you are smart, you disregard the Bible as a religious book and see it as a magical grimorie. Contained in the Bible is a Jewish based magical system using parable as keys to rites and ceremonies. The magic of Solomonic fits perfectly within the context of the biblical grimore.

Saturday, Sept 23 will be the literal 12th sign as given in the Book of Revelations.

The constellation Virgo will be in the heavens clothed in the sun, and wearing a crown of 12 stars (nine from Leo, the symbol of authority, and accompanied by Mercury, Venus, and Mars). The Sun and the Moon will be at Virgo's feet, and the planet Jupiter will circle inside her womb and come out as if she was giving birth to the priest/king of all nations. The constellation Draco (also crowned by stars) will be waiting to devour Jupiter the Priest/King the moment Virgo give birth to him.

No other time in the next 2000 years will be as powerful for making covenants between a magician and God as this day! The link between Isreal-Jewish Magic-Solomonic Magic is unquestionable in respects to this astrological alignment and to create a pact in accordance to Solomonic tradition is unprecedented!

I will be making as many Secret Seals of Solomon as people provide the funds for. As ALWAYS I will prepare each seal under the rigid guidelines presented  in the Lesser Key of Solomon. Not only is the auspiciousness of the heavenly events astounding, but all other astrological requirements for making the sea,l will also be satisfied.

Below are the requirements from the Lesser Key of Solomon.

The Secret Seal of Solomon

"This is the Form of the Secret Seal of Solomon, wherewith he did bind and seal up the aforesaid Spirits with their legions in the Vessel of Brass. This seal is to be made by one that is clean both inwardly and outwardly, and that hath not defiled himself by any woman in the space of a month, but hath in prayer and fasting desired of God to forgive him all his sins, etc. It is to be made on the day of Mars or Saturn (Tuesday or Saturday) at night at 12 o’clock, and written upon virgin parchment with the blood of a black cock that never trode (fucked) hen. Note that on this night the moon must be increasing in light (i.e., going from new to full) and in the Zodiacal Sign of Virgo. And when the seal is so made thou shalt perfume it with alum, raisins dried in the sun, dates, cedar and lignum aloes."

Anyone wanting a Seal it is $200, and will be finished 9/24/7. I will accept payments!

Brain of a rooster? Check. 

This auspicious day will however see another authentic preparation. A concoction contained in the Grimorium Verum, under the title "To See Spirits of the Air", which is a direct reference to the astral (airy) daemons of the grimorium itself.  The procedure is as follows:

"Take the brain of a cock, the powder from the grave of a dead man (which touches the coffin), walnut oil and virgin wax. Make all [this] into a mixture, wrapped in virgin parchment, on which is written the words: GOMERT KAILOETH, with the character of Khil. Burn it all, and you will see prodigious things. But this experiment should be done only by those who fear nothing." 

I will have ALL the called for ingredients in their TRUEST form.

It will be $20 each,

Considerations and requirements for joining my temple.

After a great deal of thought and consideration I have reached the obvious conclusion that I need to open my temple to members who do not (or do not currently) live near my physical temple. My struggle was how to make this a meaningful experience. It is one thing to open my temple to distance based members, just as much as it for distance based members to join my temple… but what does that really mean and what does that look like for both myself and for a distance based member? How can I truly make a distance based member feel included in my temple, and not just included but embraced, and strengthened by the temple? The temple is blessed and strengthened by its members, and the only way to have mutual benefit between member and temple, is for both temple and member to engage in a very real relationship.

In the interest of disclosure here are some facts to know and consider before joining my temple.

At my temple’s forefront, and paradoxically its core, my temple is a Palo Mayombe house or Munanzo. This means my temple rests on the point of midnight and it’s foundations lay within the kingdom of the Cemetery, the kingdom of Souls and the kingdom of the Wilds or Forest. The temple is also adjunct strongly by the point of the Railroad, the Mountain, the Forest, and the River because of the temple’s prominent guardians (Zarabanda, Yaya Kengue, Watariamba, and Mama Chola Wengue) who come through Palo Mayombe. The point of Midnight is a dark place, and the Kingdom of the Cemetery grand central station for the dead.

This temple is a temple that always begins or starts from a dark place, and walks hand in hand with the dead, no matter what road we travel or path we walk. However, Midnight can lead from dark places to sunny days of unparalleled beauty, or it can lead to far more frightening and disturbing locations.  Because the dead are always with us, we either elevate the dead to greater heights or descend deeper into the infernal realms of the abyss.  Where the temple, as well as each of its members, begins and ends (or returns too) is a matter of situational need.

Within the kingdom of the Cemetery we explore the powers of life over death, or death over life, bodily healing, remedying seemingly impossible situations, necromancy and vampirism. In the kingdom of the Souls we find more necromancy, but also the development of high level spiritism and mediumship. We elevate souls (such as the Anima Sola), assist in healing spiritual illnesses, and hold spiritual congress to discover the cause of calamities, illnesses, poverty and ill fortunes in order to alleviate them. From inside the kingdom of the Wilds or Forest we practice speaking with nature spirits, the guardians of the land (human and non-human) and how to cultivate powers of animals, plants, rocks, and minerals for our own sorcerous and healing needs. Here too in the wilds we find the mysteries of herbal baths, washes, potions, philters, powders, elixirs, pills, balms and of course lycanthropy.

The point of the Railroad supplies the more earth bound powers of planetary Mars. The strength to secure victory in battles and defeat enemies. Ambition to do more and be more. Energy to progress in our daily endeavours. Vitality to conquer illness. Determination to overcome obstacles and outlast hardship.

The point of the Mountain supports the earthly force of planetary Uranus giving rise to oracle (prophetic) visions and divination practices. The high ground puts us in a place of strategic advantage over our adversaries. From the peak we see the bigger picture,  find clear sight and thinking, as well as the stillness of mind ( including vibrational proximity) required to converse with the elevated spirits.

The point of the River brings establishes a connection to the manifesting force of planetary Venus which brings the power of magnetism and illusion. The need for water brings creatures close to one another. It is here great influence, for ill or for will, can be exercised. The River point contains seen and unseen powers. What is on the surface and what lay in wait inches beneath the water. The river can look calm, and harmless, but its current startlingly strong and frighteningly swift. Many times battles are decided the moment someone underestimates another based solely on the information their eyes provide. There are also profound mysteries of both transformation and transference (as water and earth make mud) which the point of the River blesses my temple with.

We honor the name of Nzambi as the Highest of the High, the Prime Creator and Infinite Intelligence who is the creative principle of the entire universe/multiverse (including all alternate timelines, endless dimensions and parallel realities). However, due to the various traditions that are practiced at my temple we also use Papa Bon Dios, and Bondeye.  

We honor our Ancestors, for through their trials ,tribulations, fortunes and successes, made it possible for us to be alive today. We pray for the continued healing, protection and illumination of our Ancestor spirits. We ask our Ancestor spirits to intercede on our behalf, for our health, our safety and that our material needs be met.

We honor and seek relationship with the dead. They are our connection to the world of the spirits, and we in turn, are their connection to the world of earthly existence. The hand of the dead and the hand of the living reaching out for the other, clasping in friendship, and assisting one another in the ways that only the other can. The dead comprise a vast and near innumerable collection of former (and soon to be again) humans. They are often categorized into “divisions” or “commissions” of spirits who though their work or trade or cultural associations create a body of spirits which are driven towards achieving specialized aims. Based on your own personal energetic make-up, or spiritual frame, members of certain spiritual divisions or commissions will be attracted to you. Through discovering what dead walk with you, a person can have further understanding into why they are attracted to particular activities or areas of interest. They can ask for the assistance of their dead to use their skills to help fix problems, reach goals and attain deeper personal insights.

We honor the M’pungo. The M’pungo are immensely powerful non-physical intelligences whose seats of power are in the Congo region of Africa. The M’pungo have dominion over essential earthly and spiritual functions. This dominion was given to them by Nzambi. They were also tasked with helping humanity grown and progress. The M’pungo progress and elevate as they serve the will of Nzambi, part of that is answering the needs of humans. By seeking to understand the mysteries of the M’pungo, we are helping the M’pungo and in turn the M’pungo help us. Together we elevate and progress in our understanding of the infinite mystery of Nzambi, which is the very reason for existence in the first place.

Beyond Palo Mayombe my temple has connection with the Loa of Voudu, both Haitian and Dominican traditions. Papa Legba, Papa Candelo Cedfie, Agwe, La Sirne, La Baleen, the Ogoun and Erzulie nations, as well as the Barons (Baron Samedi of course, but Baron La Croix and Baron Cimitiere too) and the Ghede, are regularly served and routinely venerated. We celebrate loa feast days, and host a Ghede-Fet around Halloween.

We are a spiritualist temple and primarily practice two forms of spiritism. First is a Creole/Kardec form of spiritualism. This a very clean, and watery practice with a focus on prayers, candles and glasses of water. The purpose is contacting your higher level spirit guides in order to receive messages from them. We also desire to cleanse and elevate both ourselves and our guides, as well as lift spiritual curses off others. We hold spiritual misa or congress. We help the dead who are specifically looking for light and progress. It is Hope, Faith and Charity who serve as guiding stars. Often the dead we help want to aid us in return, and we are grateful for this, but we do not expect it. The Creole/Kardec spiritualist sessions develop one’s spiritual mediumship to a fine degree which complements all other traditions honored at this temple.

The second form of spiritual practice my temple performs falls under a branch of Palo Cruzado, which is similar to Palo Mayombe, but with more Kardec spiritist influences. In these sessions the dead of any elevation are welcome, and we serve the earthbound dead alongside the very elevated. These sessions tend to be more lively than the aforementioned, with physical mediumship up to and including possession, not being uncommon. The lower elevated dead often desire to experience physical pleasures again, and miss the vices of eating, drinking and smoking. We serve the spirits food, cigars and alcohol, and offer prayers, candles and songs for elevation. However it is required the dead offer their services to the temple in return for offerings they receive. We are guided by Hope, Faith and Charity in previously mentioned spiritist practice, and we give freely of ourselves in those times, but this is a pragmatic temple which knows “give and take”, as well as “fair exchange” builds the most character.

Rounding out the Afro-Diaspora traditions of my temple are practices which are currently more  personal (as in for myself) than that of the temple proper, but this is subject to quickly change, those practices being venerating and learning from my Exu/Pombagira court of Kimbanda and Papa Bones and his family of bones of Obeah.

I will not say more about Obeah until I fully assimilate the transmissions I am receiving, nor will I say much concerning Kimbanda as it is my personal court, however this does lead me to Omolu.

Omolu is a staggeringly powerful spirit of death, disease, fortune and fate who is deserving of his exalted status. Because of who my Tata, or King, Exu is I am able to work directly with Omolu and seat him in my temple. Omolu is a grand cosmic skeleton who standing at the central cross of the cemetery. He is the candlelight in the darkness who draws the dead to him like moths to a flame. He is of extreme importance and plays a prominent role in my temple.

In my temple we venerate folk, or “problematic” saints. Some of these saints have been adopted as Narco saints, and associated with criminal activities. I find no problem in this, and while I do not share much interest in illicit activities, I do respect the grace and power of saints who tend to the needs and salvation of what could truly be lost causes. I enjoy that these saints operate without the consent of the “Holy Mother Church” or Catholic Church. This serves as smoking gun evidence that the Pope holds no divine authority, and Christianity (no what the denomination all Christianity is just a lesser versions of Catholicism) holds no spiritual or moral high ground.

La Santisma Muerte, Jesus Malverde, San Simon, and Cyprian perhaps the most recognizable of these folk saints in my temple, but lesser known saints like Mary “love at every door”, Saint Christopher “the dog headed”, Horned Peter, La Carambada and Juan Dinero find great popularity in my temple...and there are a few others.

Contained within my temple is a deep arcanum of European grimoire magical tradition, European necromancy and European daemonology.

I have been initiated into the following grimoire traditions:

The Greater and Lesser Keys of Solomon.

The Grimorium Verum.

The Black Raven.

The Grand Grimoire.

The Honorius.

The Black Hen.

The 6th and 7th Books of Moses.

Harrowing of Hell.

The Arbatel De Magia Veterum.

The Magical Ritual of the Sanctum Regnum.

I also have very firm understanding of purely planetary based Ritual High Magic.

Each grimoire constitutes an entire stand alone European magical tradition which comprises a much larger body of European magical lore. As such, for each different grimoire working, rite or ceremony I ask participating temple members to prepare themselves appropriately in the manner most correct for the particular grimoire being worked out of. I require temple members make serious study of the Kaballah. This helps temple members understand the inner workings of the European grimoire magical traditions and circumvent the idiocy of Neo-Hermeticism.

Lastly I continually encourage temple members to studiously practice the sorcerous arts of remote viewing, astral projecting, candle gazing, reflective surface scrying, trance induction, automatic writing, and lucid dreaming. These arts are beholden to one one magical tradition and yet greatly enhance the reach and influence of them all.

If the above sounds like what you are looking for, and wish to orientate yourself towards, the following is what (as a distance based member) membership will include.

• You will be seated at every temple rite, function, ceremony, and or otherwise. You will be energetically linked to this temple. I will introduce all the spirits of my temple to you. You will be included in all prayers, blessings, auspices, and supplications made on behalf of the temple.
• You will be cleansed and purified (I will require items from you that will be kept by my temple) every time I myself cleanse and purify in preparation of any ritual, rite or ceremony. This happens frequently.
• You will be given license to operate under the power of certain AUTHENTICALLY prepared seals and vessels (most specifically the secret seal of Solomon but there are others) of mine in order to perform your own magical working.
• I set correctly prepared lights and lamps on behalf of all the temple members for things such as money, luck, health, protection, etc, on a regular basis. You will become linked to those workings and benefit from them.
• I perform yearly road openings, and readings (multiple times a year) for temple members. You will have access to that also.
• Your items you send me will sit next to my numerous vessels, and fetishes related to Palo Mayombe. That is constitute spiritual protection like very few things can.
• Learning and initiation into legitimate traditions and practices.

What I would require in return:

• A few personal items I can construct a placeholder for your energy in order to anchor yourself to my temple.
• Dedication, and willingness to take part in, and set lights, and perform temple prayers (all will be provided).
• Temple dues of $200 a year. This goes towards sacrifices to feed the spirits, seals and vessels and other minor operations of the temple was include candles, cigars and alcohol.

I have within my temple a highly diverse group of people. Straight, gay, bisexual, men, women and children of various ethnicities, social status and backgrounds. This temple is a temple for everyone. We are a very close family-like unit and we seek to build a strong and healthy community which supports individuals in ways that is best for them, as this serves to support the temple in the best way possible. There is no ego, power trips or megalomania here. We believe in organic growth, and having deep roots. These things take time, but yield the sweetest fruits.

If after knowing all this you still wish to join my temple. Please let me know. My email is tataengando@gmail.com

A temple within my temple. The conditions and protocols of Solomonic Magic within my temple.

My prior blog post laid bare uncomfortable realities of the Solomonic tradition, primarily concerning the virtue and truth behind the secret seal of Solomon. It is true that without the secret seal of Solomon, a magician is lacking covenant with the Almighty and Most High One. Without covenant the seventy-two daemons of the Lemegeton are neither bound by oath, nor under compulsion to obey the summoner. The secret seal of Solomon is not easily made (rightly so), and not having a covenant could discourage preforming magical operations of Solomonic magic, especially from the Lesser Key.

However, be not afraid..for not all is lost.

Through sustained conjurations, and using lesser known exorcisms, a magician (without the secret seal of Solomon) may beguile daemons of the Lemegeton to appear with a good and helpful nature towards the conjurer. In addition daemons like Prince Seere or King Paimon are known for their amicable and friendly attitudes towards magicians. A magician without the secret seal of Solomon is still likely to be successful in both conjuring and making arrangements for the aid of these more pleasant (but no less powerful) daemons.

Also, via my covenant with the Almighty and Most Hone One (my secret seal of Solomon), a magician can find footing within the temple of Solomon that I maintain in my spiritual temple. In this way, a magician of my temple may effectively conjure, consult and make pacts with the seventy-two daemons of the Lemegeton. In order to do this I must feed my secret seal of Solomon (if it was just me I would not need to feed the secret seal any more than the initial blood offering in its making) to replenish it's strength and make payment for the added strain on the spiritual frame of the secret seal of Solomon that is specifically linked to me.

As the magician of my temple grows in strength of word and deed, prayer and purpose, they become ready to make their own covenant and begin operating within a temple of Solomon of their own make. However their is no rush or urgency to do so for as long as my secret seal of Solomon is kept fed it will remain as strong as ever...and it definitely gets fed.

For those of you I have instructed to evoke daemons of the Lemegeton, I have already placed you in the temple of Solomon I have built, and which resides in my personal spiritual temple. Please continue your work with these daemons. For those of you interested in being in my temple, please contact me and we will see what we can make happen.

The empty vessels, heads and hearts of Neo-Hermeticism.

Should you present yourself as an adept of Solomonic Magic, and (for whatever reason) you do not study (in detail) both the Greater and Lesser Keys of Solomon then you CANNOT be an adept of Solomonic Magic. Should you present yourself as an adept of Solomonic Magic, and (for whatever reason) you do not practice (with strict adherence) to the protocols set forth in both the Greater and Lesser Keys of Solomon then you are absolutely NOT an adept of Solomonic Magic.

What are you exactly? That depends on context. Most individuals could be labeled as simply misinformed, but a few would rightly be deemed frauds. It is one thing to say that you are a student of, or even simply a dabbler in, the occult. There is nothing wrong with that. However if you are claiming to be an adeptus of the Solomonic Arts,and speak as an authority...you better be on point. Expect to get vetted.

I am an adeptus of Solomonic Magic. I have been INITIATED  into the traditions within the Grimoirum Verum, Grand Grimoire, Black Pullet, Sanctum Regnum, Black Raven, Arbatel, and Honorius, as well as the Greater and Lesser Keys of Solomon.

I am not an internet trained occultist. I began practicing Solomonic Magic in 1990 when I was twelve. My spiritual Godfather was regularly consulted by Masonic lodges (and many other magical lodges) in California on ritual/magical regulations and protocols. By the time I was eighteen I had read L.W De Laurence's The Master Key, and The Great Book of Magical Art six or seven times, as well as A.E Waite's Book of Black Magic and of Pacts (If you have not read those books...read those books). I am my 30s now. You can triple the amount of times I've read those aforementioned books, and easily calculate my hours of occult practice into the thousands. 

The fictitious King Solomon (formed from a collaboration of magi) is said to have bound seventy-two daemons into a vessel of brass. Why did King Solomon do this? A myriad of speculated reasons persist, however I think the most honest one involves gathering a slave labor force to build his temple. When Solomon's temple was completed and he was finished with the daemons, King Solomon tossed the brass vessel into a deep lake (other stories say the ocean or a bottomless pit). When the brass vessel was eventually rediscovered and reopened, a strong hot wind escaped, but the vessel was otherwise empty. 

I am concerned fraudulent Solomonic Magic dabblers who are claiming to be adeptus will begin selling brass vessels. I am also concerned that these same frauds will attempt to greatly overstate and misrepresent themselves as magicians, by claiming to possess a brass vessel. This casts further shade on the Solomonic tradition, a tradition already damaged by the lack of legitimate initiations, and plagued by the irresponsible as well as lazy (physically and intellectually) and spineless occult theorists who associate themselves with it. 

Frater Ashen Chassan is one such occult theorist.

Frater Ashen Chassan's over turned vase of Solomon.

On a forum thread he arbitrarily (no relation to the topic of the thread) posted a picture of his brass vessel (an upside down brass vase). An embarrassingly obvious act of A.S.B (attention seeking behavior). I queried if he had ever read the Lesser Key of Solomon or understood Kabbalistic magic. His grand standing responses to my questions proved he did not. In particular his insistence that Kaballistic and Goetic magic are separate. With one fell swoop all and credibility lost...

Frater Ashen Chassan claims Solomonic Magic, a magical system rooted entirely in Jewish mysticism, is not based on Kabbalah...which IS Jewish mysticism. It doesn't get much worse than that. I invitie Frater Ashen Chassan to spend serious alone time, and really examine what he thinks he knows.

In an effort to try and undo the sheer fuckery rampant in both modern Hermeticism and Goetic magic; I will say this:  If you do not understand the Kaballah, and by its virtue Kaballistic magic, you CANNOT understand nor preform Goetic magic. The authors of both the Greater and Lesser Keys did not include a primer on Kabalistic magic, and rightly so. It was (and is) assumed any credible magician of the time (or any time) would already be well versed in the foundation of his (now days also her) practice.

Secret Seal of Solomon

The picture Frater Ashen Chassan posted of his personal brass vessel speaks volumes concerning the depth of his practice; primarily there is a lot lacking, and little to be desired. But how is it I know this? Simple. The secret seal of Solomon, or in this case, the lack thereof. In the picture Frater Ashen Chassan posted of his brass vessel, he has engraved the image of the secret seal of Solomon on the top of the brass vase (which is actually the bottom base). But this  is wrong. The engraving serves only as a symbolic representation and nothing more. It is the equivalent of using a replica human skull for acts of necromancy. A farce and in many respects insulting.



Let us read how the Lesser Key of Solomon says to produce the secret seal of Solomon.

(I recite from memory with some paraphrasing). 

To draw the seal with the correct amount of energy, the Magician must have spent a full month abstaining from all forms of sexual activity and instead devotedly praying to the Highest of the High as well as fasting for purity and atonement. The secret seal of Solomon MUST be drawn on virgin parchment paper with the BLOOD of a black rooster who had not yet fucked a hen.

The seal must ALSO be drawn at midnight on a Tuesday (Mars) or Saturday (Saturn) on a night when the Moon is increasing in light (New to Full) and in the sign of Virgo.

Once drawn the secret seal of Solomon is to be perfumed by an incense made of alum, raisins dried in the sun (NOT STORE BOUGHT), dates, cedar, and lignum aloes.

Taking another look at Frater Ashen Chassan's seal I am able to pick out the steps he omitted...all of them.

In addition an adeptus of  Solomonic Magic,  I am a Palero or priest of Palo Mayombe, also called an Ngangalero. I know how to make spirit pots, fetishes and vessels. When an nganga (pot or vessel) or nkisi (fetish) I am building requires hippo tooth, I get fucking hippo tooth. Not a dog tooth, or a camel tooth, or deer tooth. No. I get a hippo's tooth. It is the same with animal sacrifice do feed an nganga, nkisi as well as to draw a seal, sigil or write a pact; I make the sacrifice by killing a living animal, I do NOT buy a raw steak and wring the cold lifeless blood out of it or let frozen chicken thaw over the mpaka or nkisi (seriously... I know some despicable Paleros who do this).

I have a REAL brass vessel because I made it the REAL way.

I spent a month in abstinence, prayer, and fasting. I procured a young black rooster, and housed it to ensure it's own sexual purity. I sacrificed the rooster of a Tuesday midnight during a waxing moon in Virgo. I drew the secret seal of Solomon in the blood of the rooster on virgin parchment and finally I perfumed the seal with alum, raisins dried in the sun (NOT STORE BOUGHT), dates, cedar, and lignum aloes. This process took timing, planning, and determination.

Making the secret seal of Solomon is a pact, or covenant with God the Almighty and Most High. The secret seal of Solomon is the doorway that the license (which gives the authority) to work the Solomonic tradition is delivered. Such a covenant can only be made in blood. Without the secret seal of Solomon, there is NO brass vessel, and there is NO dependable conjurations.

But, Daddy Croc, do I really need to make animal sacrifice, learn Kabalistic magic, and adhere to grimoric protocol? Yes. Yes you must. Why do you, or anyone, get a free pass? Why did the magicians of yesteryear have to follow these protocols but modern magicians do not? How can modern occultists expect the same results granted by the efforts of the magicians of yesteryear when they half ass (at best) their occult workings?

Times have changed? Really? What exactly has changed? The answer is nothing. It is still the stone age... we just have cars now and more self-entitled lazy elitist crybabies who deserve a heavy bone club to the head. All the same rules still apply whether it be the jungle or the concrete jungle, whether it be ancient Rome or Modern Rome (American and the UK)...its still ideologically Rome.

You say you are against killing animals and thereby excused from preforming sacrifice? Good chance you still eat meat. So no, you are not against killing of animals as you are willing to benefit from the death of an animal, just so long as someone else does the dirty work. You are a vegetarian or vegan? Then you simply cannot ever vibrationally align with the sub-lunar DAEMONS of the Lemegeton. You however are exceptionally well suited to the Arbatel De Magia Veterum.

To know, to will and to dare.

This axiom of Ceremonial Magic should act as your guiding light and embolden your heart. Nothing is gained in the empty, the hollow or symbolic, as the only actions which could result will be empty, hollow, or symbolic in return.  Do you want a car, a job, victory over your enemies, and to triumph over adversary.. or empty symbolic gestures of a car, a job, victory and triumph?  "As above, so below"? Ring a bell???

When I endeavored to summon Lucifuge Rocofale of the Grand Grimoire I fucking followed protocol and at 3:33 am, alone, covered in the blood of a goat and deep within the San Bernadino  mountains of California... Lucifuge Rocofale appeared. What followed was horrific, my mettle was thoroughly tested, but now I know for certain there is no man or spirit who I can not force to bow before me (excluding deity level entities). Should you "Know, Will and Dare" as well as follow the protocols of the Grand Grimoire then maybe you too could say the same. So it goes for the brass vessel as well.

For fuck's sake E.A. God help you if that is another banana. 

Do not be like E.A Koetting and "summon" Lucifuge Rocofale (there was no summoning..as Lucifuge DID NOT show) in your mom's back yard, and offer him a piece of fruit (a banana). Sadly, but not surprisingly, this is EXACTLY what happened. I trust the source I heard it from. Neither be like Frater Ashen Chassan, turning brass vases upside and calling them brass vessels of Solomon.

If you are going to be an adeptus, you need to know, will and dare as an adeptus does. In the occult it is works not grace that claim your title.

Christians think about God, but Magicians know God.
