MANIFESTATIONBeheld in this darknessBefore my three eyesIncense takes form,The dead angels rise.I demand for an opfer,There's no compromise;I command to the aethyrs"Rise, demons, rise!"Manifestation,The devil in sight.ManifestationOn this wicked night.My only salvation,The angels take flight.Impure desecration The summoning rite.Stand at the altar,The circle is drawn,Standing in reachOf this nightmarish spawn.This night seems eternal,Though an hour 'till dawn.I chant my decreeTo my infernal pawn.ManifestationsOf heaven's demise.Manifestation:Apollyon rise!A familiar sensationsTo my three evil eyes.With each incantationA part of me dies.Sword, wand, and chalice,A brazier burning, flame.Blood, flesh, and black wax,The hellhounds untamed.I stand in this darkness7

And scream my own nameTo just hear the demonYelling the same.ManifestationIn my garden of Nod.ManifestationsOf evil unflawed.To my salvationThrough Hades I've trod,Now, manifestation,I'm your only God.8

INTRODUCTIONWhen the first priests would call upon their various gods forprotection or empowerment, it was rare for Ishtar or YHWY to descendfrom the heavens and intervene.Instead, emissaries of that deity wouldmanifest and begin to work in the priest's behalf.Some of these earlyholy men would graciously accept the Divine assistance.Others wouldlook and wonder how they themselves may possess that power: tocommand legions of spiritual servants armed with the ability to makethe desires of their Superior manifest.If the angels can be commandedby God to turn oceans to blood, cities to ash, and people to salt, how thencan I command them to do my will?Likewise, if the Gods of Darknesscan send devils and demons forth to baptize the earth in blood and fire,what alliances would lend their obedience to me?Long before the invention of antibiotics, immunizations, andbeautiful Latin names for every hideous malady of the body, mind, orheart of man, illness was a demon inhabiting the vessel and turning itto decay.Either the demon had to be exorcised or it would take itssacrifice. Doctors of the day would offer water, broths, herbs, and prayersto deliver the afflicted out of the clutch of the inner adversary.Whenthe demons would leave, they would do so with shrieking violence,often their reported departure causing more suffering to their host thanwas suffered during the possession.Most would look on with pity, whilea few would witness the event with envy.Man has gained the knowledge necessary for him to bringlegions of entities under his command, and through the endeavors ofthose Sorcerers not chained by fear of God or the devil, the art has beenperfected.The demon can be called into full manifestation before theEvocator, materializing on this plane in a solid, beholdable form.Thearchangels may be called to ride their chariots and their flaming wheelsinto the Temple to receive their commands, and return to span theirluminouswingsacrosstheheavensapocalypse of the Magician's desire.andbringaboutthespecificThe Black Magician may discoverany spiritual being whose name has ever been called, and call him10

I N T R O D U C T I O Nagain to return to earth and to do his will.As God does, the Evocatormay send forth his armies to destroy his enemies, to turn the sun tosackcloth, and to bring the world to his feet.The earliest instances of evocation in history are seen in thewarring practices of Sumerian and Phoenician empires, in which anamusing illustration of the difference between evocation and invocationoccurs.In modern times and terms, "invocation" is used when anoccultist or religionist calls inro herself an amount of the power,intelligence, grace, or other qualities of a specific deity, Sephiroticsphere, or influence."Evocation" has been used for a good deal of thehistory of the occult to denote the uniquely occult art of calling entitiesforth, rather than within, so that they may be communicated with inthe same manner that the Sorcerer would communicate with anotherperson of flesh. Eight to ten thousand years ago, the first cities werebuilt and fortified with enormous walls and ornate gateways, and theGods of its inhabitants were called within the city walls with ritualsand prayers of invocation, so that they might present themselves andprotect the city from harm.Certain to overwhelm every defense usedagainst them, the enemies of an unnamed city - which is protected bythe power and influence of their planetary, elemental, or ChthonicGods - would perform their own rituals and say their own prayers whichwould call the Gods, Watchers, and spirits forth out of the city, leavingit spiritually unprotected and ready to be stormed.Evocation has obviously evolved through time, the past hundredyears having imbued this Black Magick with a more ceremonial andJudeo-Christian appearance than ever before.Finding an authenticatedgrimoire which does not mention the names of some Gods and Heroesfrom Christian mythology proves to be a difficult task.Despite thistainting influence, much has been discovered and recorded concerningevocation and the perfection of that art, and today the secret knowledgethat was once restricted to the elite is being revealed to all.If we areable to keep our blossoming intellects from mudding up the simple truthsof summoning, communicating with, and benefiting from the legionsof entities that await our call, we may find ourselves Masters over ourownDestiny.

E V O K I N GE T E R N I T YEvocation is not a mysterious untouchable thing.It is a functionof the spiritual machine of existence, simultaneously relying on andworking to build the connection between the individual and the wholeof creation, between man and God, between what is and what couldpossibly be.12

C H A P T E RONEELEMENTARY PRINCIPLESOF EVOCATIONEvocation is defined for reference in the theory and Operationsgiven in this text as the act of calling forth to visible appearance entitieswhose nature is beyond ordinary human sensation, for the purposes ofgaining knowledge and altering reality.Although many Practitionersinsist that evocation is either a strict science or a relative art, once themost basic procedures are learned and the act of evocation is masteredit is seen to be neither science nor art, but becomes as elementary to theEvocator as reading a book or driving an automobile.basicunderstandingof theprinciplesandlawsThe act requiresthatgoverntheOperation, which once learned are integrated into the Operator's verynature. It is rare for a person who has learned to read or to drive to everlose that knowledge, and once developed, the skill rarely needs to be"brushed up on" to retain the fundamentals.The reader may, however,learn to read with photographic speed or might condition himself svocabulary, just as the driver might learn to safely operate his vehicleat amazing speeds over harsh terrain or under chaotic conditions.Evocation is the same.Once the elementary principles of evocation aremastered and the science or art of it becomes instinctual, the Magicianmay begin to use the foundation of Evocation as a means to reach intothe heavens and discover the fullness of his potential.As he becomeswith each evocation and with each accomplished goal more and morelimitless, he finds that his power - the power he has gained throughthis secret study of evocation - is indeed without limit.While every occult discipline will insist that the rituals developedby some grand magus or another need to be adhered to withoutreservation in order for the evocation to succeed, the specific Operationswhich they peddle have no virtue in themselves but merely provide aconstruct by which the few basic principles of evocation can be applied.The religious and occult systems which have developed over the lastsix or seven hundred years have taken the simple formulae which13

E V O K I N GE T E R N I T Yfacilitate the summoning and manifestation of a spiritual entity on thephysical plane and have each made it their own by applying DivineNames and Barbarous Words of Evocation without which the wholeOperation is said to be futile.There are Operators who dutifully employ every jot and tittle ofthe Working as set forth by the author of some grimoire or the founderof some Order, and some of them achieve great success in their abilityto conjure to full manifestation the demon that they have called.Suchsuccesses, however, are dependant on the adherence to the elementaryprinciples that are detailed below, which their Orthodox rituals onlysynthesize. The rituals of the pentagram and hexagram or the Washingsand Anointings of the Temple may still be used, or they may be replacedaltogether, so long as the principles by which the Operation of evocationis operated are fulfilled.PREPARATORY IMMERSIONI first attempted to perform the ritual of demonic evocation a fewdaysafterpickingupapaperbackcopyof thepseudo-grimoireNecronomicon.' My occult career up to that point consisted mainly of afew candle Magick "spells" and a great deal of conversation on the subjectwith those that remarkably knew even less than I did. I scanned throughthe pages detailing the powers of the demons and the spirits, and I knewthat power could be mine.I read the Mad Arab's account of themanifestations of the black apparitions, and I wanted to see.I readparticularly of the Watchers, which the book claimed to the most ancientbeings in existence, watching over the race of man from the beginning,dwelling in the space between creation and oblivion.The Watcherwould hear my call, and would come, I was sure.I found a flat piece of metal to use as my ritual sword, bagged afew cups of flour to spread out the Protective Circle on the ground,gathered some indigenous sagebrush leaves and pine sap for the incense,and used a white cereal bowl as my brazier.I had everything a MasterSorcerer should need for the evocation of one of the most ancient beingsin existence!With bulging backpack and desperate will, I climbed afamiliar mountain cliff to a cave made of metamorphic rock which wasconsecrated a few months earlier as my first occult Temple.With the flour laid out in a double concentric circle, the "incenses"14

ELEMENTARYP R I N C I P L E SO FE V O C A T I O Nheaped upon the burning bowl, my sword of command gripped in myright hand and my paperback copy of the Necronomicon in my left, Ibegan the first incantation to the Watcher. The cacophonic words movedfrom my lips into the chilled midnight air, but didn't seem to travelmuch farther.In fact, the sound of my voice against the silent backdropof the night startled me, sounding so alone and unanswered.I thrustthe sword into the ground as the grimoire had instructed, and allowedthe night to resume its silence, waiting for some sign that I was notalone after all.None came.Frustrated with my blatant and humiliating failure as a BlackMagician, I began studying the small book with a fury in the followingdays and weeks. I read each page several times before continuing to thenext, highlighting phrases that might offer some clue to the mystery ofevocation, searching for that one sentence that would unravel it allbefore my watered eyes.When a name or a work was cited in theeditor's introduction, I followed each arrow and began reading Crowleyand Shaw as they wrote of Sumer, these masters of knowledge havinguncovered more of the secret understanding than I.I began to translateeach incantation by referencing others given in the text and throughwhatever scarce translation dictionaries I could find.I read books onthe mythos and society of the ancient Sumerian people, and began tofall in love with a culture that had not seen light for thousands of years.I became possessed by the Necronomicon and its demons, and I startedto glimpse the madness of the supposed original author.In such a maddened, obsessed state, exhausted from my researchand from the emotion that I had poured into my study, I returned tothe mountain cave, spread the flour on the ground, took the sword inmy hand, and began the incantation.The Watcher to whom I wascalling was no longer an imagined entity that I had read about, butwas a well known personage that I had studied and come to admire.The words of the ritual no longer sounded cacophonic, but insteadseemed to flow from my throat and come alive in the air.I thrust thesword into the ground at the final word of the conjuration, and waited.The wind stirred, blowing leaves and dirt into the mouth of the cave.My breath stuck in my chest like molasses as the area around me grewnoticeably darker despite the full moon outside and the lamps burningwithin the Temple. The air around me thickened and a definite presencefilled the cave. The wind continued to beat its way into the Temple, the15

E V O K I N GE T E R N I T Ypreviously still night revolting against the fact that I most certainlywas not alone.The Watcher did not materialize in a physical or even visibleway, although at that time in my Magickal progress I didn't need it to.The spirit that I summoned had answered the call, there was no doubtin my mind, and the Path for my continued growth was clear.Thefirst principle of evocation was met, and the success of the Operationreflectedsuch.In order to achieve any similitude of success in the occult, theAspirant must immerse himself in the Work in preparation for the ritual,becoming a zealot intent on seeing the finger of God rather than acharlatan bent on producing the image of His face. The Magician is notto only immerse himself in the doctrine and philosophy of the systemwhich he is attempting to utilize, but in the dogma and the faith of it,although one almost inevitably follows the other.This immersion isreferred to in modern Yogic teachings as a type of spiritual synthesis,and sometimes as a subjective synthesis.Many forms of TraditionalSatanism, especially those derivative of the Order of Nine Angles, callthis process of spiritual integration an "Insight Role."By involvinghimself in the deepest levels of a political, religious, or activist group both within himself and within the ranks of the group - the Initiatewill integrate the experience and the self-knowledge gained into hiscollective understanding, and thus through this personal dialectic willascend above that which he once was.For the purposes of a singleritual Operation, however, years of devotional service to one particularreligion or philosophy is superfluous and quite unnecessary.What isnecessary is for the Evocator to develop a connection to the powers andthe specific ritual mechanism which will be used to summon forth thedesired entity.The forces, beings, authority, and devices associatedwith the chosen entity need to become as real to the Operator as thephysical world around him and all of its governing laws.One of the most often employed methods of achieving thispersonal integration into a specific spiritual or philosophical paradigmis through purely intellectual immersion.As I did after first failing toachieve any result whatsoever from my first evocation of the Watcher,the Magician may study the grimoire in which the name of the spiritwas found, as well as reaching into other texts to obtain informationabout the Summoned or the system of Magick which governs that being.16

ELEMENTARYP R I N C I P L E SOFE V O C A T I O NSince the writings of illuminated adepts such as Dione Fortune andIsrael Regardie, a movement has been growing within the occult worldto merge psychology, physics, and Magick.One such psychologist/occultist/physicist, Dr. Joseph Lisiewski,Ph.D. puts forth in his book Ceremonial Magic and the Power of Evocation:"A state of subjective synthesis is produced in the subconscious mind nsion,andacceptance of the theoretical material underlying any magical act. It isthis subjective synthesis which enables the subconscious mind to producethe physical effects associated with magical rituals, strengthen the alteredstateof st."Dr. Lisiewski hinges the entire success of the Operation on theattainment of the state of subjective synthesis, and rightly so, as withoutthis fundamental base the whole of the Operation is pointless, the ritualof evocation being tantamount to the prayers of the faithless uttered invainrepetition.Other methods outside of intellectualization of the material ofthe matter have been found to be equally effective, although oftentaking a form and figure quite opposite of that posited as perfect byLisiewski.A Practitioner of Hoodoo thatIonce studied undermanufactured his own ritual candles, adding color dyes and scentedoils specific to the ritual that he intended to perform, as well asconsecrating the molten wax as it was being prepared.Preceding aWorking of evocation, he would manufacture three identical candlesspecific to the nature of the demon, scenting and coloring the candles inalignment with the attributes of the Summoned.Once the candleswere formed and cooled, the Houngan inscribed the name of the spiritto be evoked, as well as its sigil or any other characters attributed to it.The first of the three candles would be burned over a fewconsecutive nights before the performance of the ritual.My mentorwould sit in the darkness and light the candle, focusing both upon theburning wick and the inscriptions in the wax.He would meditate uponthe evocation and upon the spirit, making a conscious effort to nor directhis attention towards the goal of the Operation, but rather upon theritual itself. He would call out to the spirit by name and would announcethe day and time that the evocation would begin.The candle would be

E V O K I N GE T E R N I T Yblown out and put away for the next night, often the number of nightsthat this preparatory meditation is performed correlating with thenumerology of the spirit or its origin.Rather than using his intellect toimmerse himself in the Magick of the Operation, he uses the Magickitself, treating the whole of the Working as if it is already existent andneeds no convincing on his part, but rather simple involvement in it; toprepare himself for the glory of the evocation.Rather than usingknowledge to attain faith, he uses faith to attain knowledge.In addition to the thorough study and intellectual immersionin the theory of Magickal Operation,Hermetic Initiates will oftenprepare for the evocation through an intense devotion to the energiesand rulers of the Sephirotic Sphere of the entity that they are to evoke.Some will decorate their house in the colors of that sphere, as well aswearing at least one article of clothing of that color at all times, andwill perform a daily devotional ceremony to that Sephiroth.Otherswill invoke the Godform attributed to the Original Sphere of theSummoned each successive day preceding the evocation,again thenumber of devotional days having numerological significance to thespecificentitySummoned.Many Magickal Adepts instruct Initiates to prepare the Templearea for the evocation at least twelve hours in advance, to help producethe same preparatory synthesis of the experience.All of these practices, even those of a purely intellectual nature,are designed to meet the demands of the first principle of evocation,which is to immerse oneself in the Working

Evocation is the same. Once the elementary principles of evocation are mastered and the science or art of it becomes instinctual, the Magician may begin to use the foundation of Evocation as a means to reach into the heavens and discover the fullness of his potential.
