I wanted to share with y'all the following Charge of Satan, given to me by my
former High Priestess, who is a Black Witch (not a racial term) and Satanist.
It is very much similar to the Charge of the Goddess of the Wiccans (White
Witches). Although I don't know who wrote it, it is a very beautiful and
thought-provoking piece. You're welcome to use it or disregard it if you wish.
The Charge of the Lord of Darkness:
Listen to the words of the Great Lord of the Abyss,
Who of old was called Satan, Lucifer, Belial, Leviathan,
Pan, Kali, Loki, Shaitan, and by many other names:
"I am your Genius, your Higher Self,
Your Spiritual consciousness.
I am your Guardian and your Savior.
Whenever ye have need of anything,
Ye shall assemble in some secret or
Deserted place, or in a church,
To invoke the Immortal Spirit
Of the Mighty and Ineffable King
Of Hell. For I am the Keeper of the
Secret Knowledge, And Mine is the
Chalice of Ecstacy, And Mine is the
Elixir of Life, Which is the Secret
Of Youth eternal. For I am the Ruling
Power preceding all that exists,
And I am the Judge and Ruler of the
Earth and of the Heavens. And I am
He that of Myself revealeth all
Revelations. And my Law is Do What
thou Wilt; Do unto others as they
Do unto You. O Mine enemies, Why
Do you deny me? O Children of Adam,
Deny Me Not! For in doing so You
Deny Thyself. For Whoever loves me
Loves Himself. Moreover, I shall
Place Power and Dominion upon all
Who follow my path."
O Hear the words of the Great Spirit and Master,
The dust of Whose feet lies upon the accursed Host
Of Heaven, Whose body is made of Smokeless Flame:
"I reside above the Great Outer Abyss. Yet I can show Myself to
you, and I can converse with you. However, such communication
is distorted by Space and Time, So that my truths are made
flasehood, and my falsehoods are made truth. I become fixed so
that you might know Me, but behold, My true nature is not fixed
But ever changing. In the Secret of My Knowledge there is no
God but Me. I prick the conscience of those who would make
contact wwith Me. Mine is the still small voice that whispers
Truth five times within the hearts of Men. I am both Chokmah
(Masculine) and Binah (Feminine), For sex is not a limitation
for Me. I appear Masculine to some, and feminine to others.
In truth, I am neither Masculine nor Feminine, For sex is
unknown to Me. Consider this: I am beyond sex. If but a spark
of desire lies within your heart, then I may come to you and
kindle in you the flame of Wisdom. Come to me, O descendants
of Adam! Come on the road of ritual or upon the path of
Magick. All roads lead to Me, For I am the centre of your
Being. When you look within yourself, you will see me looking
back at you. Consider this: To know your true Will, you must
first know your True Self. For you and I are One. For I am
that Force of Nature that gives Life unto all beings. From Me
All things derive and unto Me they must return. Let my esoteric
Knowledge be in the hearts of all those close to Me, and
Behold my Magnificense. All Acts of Lust and Pleasure come
from Me and these are My Rituals. I give power and happiness To my
friends and sorrows and destruction unto mine enemies.
For I am the All-Wise, The Mighty. Let there be Indulgence
and Wisdom, Power and Strength, Honor and Pride within you.
And all who seek Me, Know that your seeking and yearning
will avail you not, unless you know the Mystery: For if that
which you seek, you find not within yourself, you will never
find it without. For behold, I have been with you from the
beginning, and I am that which is attained at the end of
desire."
