Gates of Understanding
Yon dark gate, where stars doth brightly gleam
We tread the path of shadow, light unseen
The heavens wide, where spheres of wisdom sing
Doth call us forth to learn the hidden thing
Oh, whither goest thou, who seeketh sight
To pierce the veil ‘twixt dark and burning light?
The cosmos vast, with voices ever still
Doth whisper truths unto the seeking will
By aeon’s breath, by sacred flame enshrined
We seek the gnosis, secrets of the mind
Gates of thought, where matter doth not reign
The silent soul its ancient lore doth gain ...
We tread the path of shadow, light unseen
The heavens wide, where spheres of wisdom sing
Doth call us forth to learn the hidden thing
Oh, whither goest thou, who seeketh sight
To pierce the veil ‘twixt dark and burning light?
The cosmos vast, with voices ever still
Doth whisper truths unto the seeking will
By aeon’s breath, by sacred flame enshrined
We seek the gnosis, secrets of the mind
Gates of thought, where matter doth not reign
The silent soul its ancient lore doth gain ...

Sacred Dust
In moonlight’s glow
and shadows grey
wafting incense
and cleansing sage
a coarsen circle of salt
seals shut the gate
A potion of spells
begins to take hold
a Life-force of energy
emanating Love
Transcendental planets
begin to align—
Uranus, Neptune
and Pluto by design
The binds of ancient portals
release their sacred lock
Spirits of our Ancestors
beyond the veil come forth
Incandescent bodies of light
illuminate the hour
Ashes of Earth begin to rise ...
and shadows grey

seals shut the gate

A Poisoned Dripping Moon
Seeking insanity and chaos
Where the future and past intertwine
Within scrying reflection
Of wrongness that is yet to align
Dread knowledge within arcanum
Perhaps I went too far
Spells that haunt me ever ghastly
Soul borne runes like a lingering scar
Released from the shell of unbeing
Engulfed by a desolate wave
Torn by the desperate struggle
Of a world turning into a grave
Visions of a dreaded hill
What I saw there made my heart freeze
Gallows tree, black as the night
Storm clouds that roared...
Where the future and past intertwine
Within scrying reflection
Of wrongness that is yet to align
Dread knowledge within arcanum
Perhaps I went too far
Spells that haunt me ever ghastly
Soul borne runes like a lingering scar
Released from the shell of unbeing
Engulfed by a desolate wave
Torn by the desperate struggle
Of a world turning into a grave
Visions of a dreaded hill
What I saw there made my heart freeze
Gallows tree, black as the night
Storm clouds that roared...

Evocation
On frozen shores where silence reigns
Beneath the stars that twist and weep
A ritual dark, in binding chains
Awakes where shadows never sleep
The skies above, they coldly lie
But deeper still, a star does glow
Reflected in the ice-bound eye
Of those who bow to what's below
At Earth’s forsaken edge they stand
With eyes cast up, but souls laid bare
And constellations, wild and grand
Speak words too ancient for the air
In darkest reaches of the night
They feel the pull of unseen gaze
Weaves through death,...
Beneath the stars that twist and weep
A ritual dark, in binding chains
Awakes where shadows never sleep
The skies above, they coldly lie
But deeper still, a star does glow
Reflected in the ice-bound eye
Of those who bow to what's below
At Earth’s forsaken edge they stand
With eyes cast up, but souls laid bare
And constellations, wild and grand
Speak words too ancient for the air
In darkest reaches of the night
They feel the pull of unseen gaze
Weaves through death,...

Gunfighters Goetia
Out on the plains where the coyotes cry,
Rode a man in black ‘neath a blood-red sky
His boots hit the dust with a heavy fall
And whispers followed him, the Devil’s call
His face was hidden, his eyes burned low
A brimmed hat shaded what none could know
The town folks whispered as he rode in
Of the gun at his side, and his life of sin
They say he knew words from a book of fear
He’d speak to shadows no man could hear
By candlelight, when the moon hung still
He’d summon forces to bend his will
His pistol gleamed, but it...
Rode a man in black ‘neath a blood-red sky
His boots hit the dust with a heavy fall
And whispers followed him, the Devil’s call
His face was hidden, his eyes burned low
A brimmed hat shaded what none could know
The town folks whispered as he rode in
Of the gun at his side, and his life of sin
They say he knew words from a book of fear
He’d speak to shadows no man could hear
By candlelight, when the moon hung still
He’d summon forces to bend his will
His pistol gleamed, but it...

Laments of Celestial Spheres
In the sanctum where the solar flame
Illuminates the ancient name
We gather 'neath the sigils bright
To mourn the death of celestial light
The spheres align in sacred dance
Yet now, they falter in their trance
O luminous orbs, once bold and grand
Now shadowed relics in a hollowed land
From Arcturus’ gaze to the Pleiades’ grace
We trace the paths of time and space
But whispers rise from the astral sea
As dying stars call out to me
The sun's golden rays, once pure and whole
Are clouded now, consumed by coal ...

Off all bonfires the fire
After the celebration around the bonfires
the witches usually disperse
taking with them the energy and magic
they have gathered during the ritual.
The flames begin to die down
and the heat from the fire fades into a soft glow.
The witches, still shrouded in a cloak
of mystery and power, begin to bid each other farewell.
Some may exchange words of wisdom
or small incantations for protection and good fortune.
As the night progresses
each witch makes her way
perhaps to a nearby grove or to her hidden home. ...

Friday the 13th
Friday the Thirteenth is an especially unlucky day
Twelve witches are necessary for a meeting,
plus the Devil equals thirteen,
and they always meet on Friday
The combination of Friday, a generally unlucky day,
with thirteen, an especially unlucky number,
can be terrifying
Stay home, lock your doors and don't have any black cats or ladders nearby.

Ancient Pact of Iron
Through argent smoke and sigil’s glow
The iron spirits writhe in pain
Summoned forth from the deep below
Through rites of ash and binding chain
The magus chants with fervent zeal
Inscribed in glyphs of ancient lore
His voice a key, the arcane seal
To bend the wraiths and bar the door
Through spheres of Netzach’s twisted light
They coil ‘round rods of mystic lead
In shadows black as endless night
The rites are carved, the spirits bled
Unseen currents of ether pull...

settles for wisdom the greater fate
hearing the echo in the corridor
your footsteps told me you're leaving
you're leaving and, my soul is shattering
my pneuma is breath of your breath
surrendering to you utterly
my vow I will follow you to my death
my dearest Adonai
if you wish it you will not see me
but like I, you can feel my movements
confession, I get close to people and you take them from me
you and the men say they aren't good enough for me
you harden their hearts against me
and take them away
I am devastated and you want to...

mortify
ever shaded in purple
such is life the spice of it
snuff out the tales that make no sense
or erect a statue to them
sacrificing everything to it
give your blood and sweat
until it has a voice
louder than your ability to silence it
mortification your honor slipped
and you already have a slippery tongue
secrets of your carnal worship
wrapped up with the whitewashed tale you've been told
all to distract people from the truth
powerful knowledge is forgotten
and your lies have risen as giants
still...
