RITE OF THE ADVERSARY

Prepare eleven black candles and heavy incense. The temple should be decorated with
images and symbols representing the left hand path concept, like inverted pentagrams.

The following seal should be placed on the altar:

Light the candles one by one, after lighting each one ring the bell once and say the
name of the demonic ruller in the following sequence

SATAN

MOLOCH

BEELZEBUB

LUCIFUGE

ASTAROTH

ASMODEUS

BELPHEGOR

BAEL

ADRA-MELEK

LILITH

NAHEMA

Once all the candles are lighted up, burn the incense and begin chanting:

Lepaca Mephistopheles!

When you sense that the atmosphere thickens around you, raise your left arm and
proclaim:

‘ I call the Lord of Darkness!

The Ruler of Earth!

The Master of this World!

Come forth from your chtonic realms of everlasting night and fiery heat!

Enflame me in your shadowy essence!

Open the Gate of Darkness in my Mind and Soul,

As I seek entrance into your underworld kingdom

In pursuit of Divinity

CHANT: ZAZAS, ZAZAS, NASATANADA ZAZAS!

‘ I enter the realm of Death, shades and specters and I shall walk

into the heart of Darkness to find the light that is brighter than

anything else. Through death shall I emerge immortal and

awakened.

From the dead shall I rise , baptized in the Black Light of illumination!

From shadows shall I cloack myself in flesh again

-strong and forged in the gorge of infernal hearth!

I reject death of spirit that is proclaimed by mass religion!

and affirm the spark of life that burns in my being!

I dare to eat the forbidden fruit from the Tree of Knowledge!

I bear the mark of Cain and I follow the Adversary who left

the barren Garden of Eden to seek liberation and Divinity!

By the power of the four Rulers of Darkness:

(turn now on each directions and say)

South: Satan, Mephistopheles!

East: Lucifer, the Light-Bringer!

North: Belial, Lord of the Earth!

West: Leviathan, the serpent of timeless existence!

‘I become the adversary myself!

I am the child of the Sun and the Moon,

devil and angel, the saint and the beast!

In Darkness shines the light that illuminates my path!

I am beyond any limitations, free and strong enough to proclaim

my Will in this World!

So it is done!

Commentary:

The ritual is an invocation of the force of change and transformation that is necessary on
the path of self-dedication. The spirit of the Adversary releases the inward impulses
towards self-improvement of ones life, the destruction of obstacles and barriers that
hinder one’s progress. This is a powerfull force, however, and it should be approached
carefully.
