Candlemas 'Evil'
February 1st, XLIV A.S.

escent to Hell, Return again
Ouroborous sheds His skin
Purified in Abyssal Flame
Emerge anew, redoubled strength
Rebirthing torrent, timeless wise
Apotheosis realized

Mighty Dragon, blackest thorns
Daemon spawn, Devil born
God of Moon with Venus rise
Infernal light, Mercury rides
Darkest Angel of The Night

The heart of Winter glows with Lust
Ebon flow upon the snow
Shadows grow from the fire
Flicker by the Nocturne pyre

Candlemas Evil is Satan reborn.

Piercing eyes, and heart, and brain
Immortal form, Hellish born...

Black Phoenix flies, forever night!
In Power, Joy, unending Might!

Samhain's Return
By Draconis Blackthorne

Goblins and ghouls begin to creep
Into the realm of mortals they seep
Dancing, carousing, it captures their minds
To replicate same, if just for a time

Welcome again into My world
A glimpse of the Magic enchantment unfirled
A tip o' the horns, a curl of the tail
The howl of a wolf, the moan of a gale

The Gates are agape, from caverns below
The fiery rictus, the carven glow
Reflections upon the overcast sky
Overshadows the land from tempestuous high

Skeletal trees scratch at the air
Filled with the scents of carnival faire
Impending darkness grows day by day
Chases the curse of the blindlight away

Gaze in wide wonder at the marvels I bring
A season eternal of nightmares and dreams
The phantoms come closer on this Halloween
Filling the evenings with laughter and screams!

The multimedia proliferation has begun, and even though we Satanists preserve our total environments, it is pleasing to see the evocations manifest to dominate society again.

Description: Baphomet is festive with this Halloween display, complete with ornamentation representing the archetypes of this splendid season. A collage of evocations conjured up from the dark subconscious, framed by the trapezohedron which here acts as a window to the said subconscious. The serpent above configures the dreaded Number of The Beast with his symmetry, as Thirteen crowns The Baphomet form, suggesting the exploitation of these fun-fears for diabolical amusement.

Halloween

cold familiar chill cascades from the West
The rictus of the Jack 'O' Lantern glows through the night
Sweet dreams of archetypal splendor greets smiles and fright
As children laugh and play with Trick or Treat delight
'Neath the pall of the Grim One's sight...

The skeletal trees athrust to the sky
Leaves blown by the wind of the whispering breeze
The House there stands vacant, or so it seems
Then who's are the eyes that peer through the beams?

Devil Moon nigh, peers from on high
Flooding the earth with blue-crimson light
Vampires and Werewolves arise for a "bite"
Nightmares alive in glory and might!

Black candles a-shimmer in the beautious gloom
The shadows take shape in the depths of your room
The demons, the devils, the ghouls and the ghosts
The Gates are cast open, we welcome the hosts
Our brothers and sisters from Hellish Abodes
By thunder and lightning, the ravens have flown...

The Sabbath bell calls through black haunted halls
Baphomet's smile in daemonic guile
By Satan, Lucifer descends Leviathan to Belial
Looming spechtrous by words of Spell
Lingering shades, All Hallow's Eve
By what was spoken, shall soon be reaped
In pleasure, in passion, in feral grace
Halloween's wonders, come take thy place!

Table of Contents

Nightmares come alive in joy and in dread
We remain amused at the teeming masses as dusk enfolds the land
The Gates creek open with echoing voices
Rising up from The Abyss only we understand

Our tenebrous creations come to be!
In spectral visions again set free
So hear the tolling of the bell
The Sabbath is here, I wish you well!

Nine Spiders

I have nine spiders on the wall
Short and fat, thin and tall
Big and small, graceful all
Bearing The Devil's mark...

There they float above your head
Spin and crawl near the bed
Arachnoid world, rule to themselves
Ghostly shrouds, tapestries exquisite
Ornament the corners of the rooms...

Bridges spun from frame to frame
With a visit, bestow a name
And with a greet, a welcomed sight
From the shadows, Mammon's light
Sets the mind to wonder of the treasures which are to come...

A strategic plan
Again to feed upon fresh meat
Mummified corpses of previous feasts
Dance to the slightest breeze...

What a spectacle to behold
The flux of life and death
Beneath the stare of glistening black eyes
Beneath the crush of eight legs
Utter a last breath
Ebbing life sustains the beast...

Nine spiders decorate high above
Nine stars in the night sky
A pleasure to share My Lair
With creatures such as you.

Inspired by viewing nine of these delightful fellows currently sharing the Lair.

Krampusnacht
By Draconis Blackthorne, December 6, Krampusnacht, XLII A.S.

On Krampusnacht...

The Krampus comes forth, ringing thine bell
From out of the darkness, resounding from Hell
Displaying thy rictus, switchel in hand
A demonic vision now walks the land

On Krampusnacht...

Krampii of every shape, color, and size
A devil's procession, yule fire aglow in their eyes
A messenger of nightmarish fane
This bearded beast with horn-crowned mane

On Krampusnacht...

Villagers cower with whispered prayers
Fearsome shadows cast with dusk to bring the night
Torches aflame with scent of brimstone's pyre
And some will vanish into thine black embrace
A thorny gash, a scion's choir

On Krampusnacht...

Red Storm

Hell hath opened in the West
To the sound of rumbling skies
Spell of breath felt in bone
Magnifies visions of the mind...

Demon's face looms cumulus
Gazing at the blackened earth
Reflections in The Devil's Eye
Sparks of falling flame ingite
Aflash to split the land asunder...

Rolling erubescence
Blasting reverberation
Abyssal voice proliferation
Ancient elemental...

The tempest forms tenebrous shapes
Conjured by the carnal brain
Dancing shadows in the night
The music of the rain
Lente, andante
Sing infernal names...

The nightmare of the dream
Manifest for all to see
But what is it that is perceived
In the beauty of the storm...

Devil Mother

Loins aflame in Hellfire
Twisted transmutations
Rode The Beast upon The Black Earth
Supped the milk of Lust
To bring the abomination forth...

There the creature stirred
In the womb of blackest dark
Spawned in nightmarish thrall
Bane of mortals and blindlight...

Unto the fullness of her breast
Nectar-laden ecstasy flows into the cup
Eternal Mother of The Night
Infernal Gods expectant...

A Magic blessed night
Fires burned high 'neath the haloed moon
Chanting of the phantoms opens the Gates
The Horned One presides...

Demonic seed germinates
Upon The Sabbath dusk
A turn of Nine in timelessness
The chosen bride possessed...

In pangs of pain and bliss
The Pentagram wheel marks another enchanted pike
In the heart of frost and storm
Devil incarnate born...

Devil Mother, Daemon Madonna
We hail Thee this night
By thy grace, the pit of Hell
Thine cloak holds comfort to its own...

The Swing

I see an empty swing blowing in the wind
With a squeak and a creek
A remnant of a bygone time...

I hear a faint song floating in the breeze
A distant echo in the mind
A tune long forgotten by the world...

The sickly scent of flowers
Lingers in the air
When something caught My eye in the mist...

I see a little girl upon the rusty swing
Rocking back and forth
Smiling and care-free
With a doll that looks just like her...

I found that doll one day
While searching in the attic
And placed her on that swing...

Now every time the wind blows
Rocking back and forth
I hear that song again
And the distant sound of laughter...

Satan Walks The Night

n solitude, by moonlight's stare
A darkened figure goes walking there
Amidst the leaves, all strewn about
Among the trees without a sound
Save for the tapping on the ground...

A windsept night, an autumn's chill
A shadow stretches across the hill
A stranger walks outside your sill
While you're asleep, while you are still
Where does he go? What does he want? What does it know, why does it haunt?

They say the Devil walks the night abouts
As tall as a tree, as broad as a house
To catch his gaze is to feel his force
To know he's there, is enough, of course
So if you ever cross his path
Stand clear away & let Him pass
Or join him by his side, My friend
I welcome you with Me again...

The Dragon Cometh

nd the girl was tied unto the marble pillar, where blood hath crusted upon the chains, & the rocks were coloured erubescent by those who had been before. With a horror she realized her fate, as the sounds crept up from the vast deep. And the words were spoken, the summoning was complete, & now, all that was left was the terrible truth that was to come...

And there it was, a looming shadow spechtrous, taking up the whole of the sky. Her resisitance was futile, she became subserviant to the massive force, willingly convulsing in ecstatic rapport. An embrace now, fear turned to pleasure, but not altogether gone, which drove her ever higher. And then shadow blended into night, behold, they were gone from site!"

Basilisk Arising

I. I stir as a great Black Dragon, in the steams of this great cavern-lair, the earth beneath Me cracking & quaking as I step. My great wings folded about Me as a black cape, My eyes resonant, pulsating with Infernal Light. My mighty jaws clench with tusk-like fangs, dripping with venom, & the blood of My prey.
II. I turn My fearsome head upwards, horns arching into the crying sky, the crimson droplets cascading along My crimson scales, as enormous muscles flex upon the behemoth-beast. My nightmarish roar shakes the great oaks, inflicting the mortal fear of impending doom unto the puny hearts of every breathing creature, as they gasp in terror. My serpantine tongue slides out to lick the taste of flesh & carrion I have devoured.
III. I see above Me the souls of those whom I have consumed, flailing madly in the hazy air. At once, the ancient Pentagram upon My thick brow emminates lustre, resonating upon those poor wraiths, thus entrapping them within its five points.
IV. I arch My back, tail writhing, wings spread wide, I launch My mammoth form into the thundering sky, gliding as a monster-daemon through the black mists of the darkness, & across the glowing face of the moon.
V. I turn My massive head downards, upon a helpless population, listening for the cries & supplications of My spawn, emparting My hellish blessings upon them. filling their black hearts with My evilove.
VI. From cavernous bowels of the Underworld was I born - & on that fearful, magical night, I heard the gods cry, for their slayer hath been conceived. The megalithic nocturnal One made flesh...
VII. Woe unto thee, O earth, sea, & heavens, the Dark Prophesy shall be fulfilled, the omens fortell visions yet to come...

An Evilove Poem

an you hear the winds whisper through the trees?
The sounds of Love & Joy betoken things to come
Can you hear the beating heart in the dark?
Or a tear slowly rolling down a cheek?
Do you feel a shadow comforting your soul?
The cool rustle of beating wings?
The rush of waterfalls
The trickle of a stream
Or the dampened black soil beneath your feet?

The stars shine in your eyes
Elightening My heart
Bestowing Love & Grace unto My weary soul
Until you came near
All was hate & fear
And now with you, there is so much more to know
As the angels cry, deep into My eyes
All My substance calls forth the angel dark...

Can anything quite compare to your beauty?
I say nay
Your hair is like the waterfall
The moon is in your eyes
Your touch is as a feather's dance
Your breath is like a breeze of hypnotizing mist
The music of your voice enchants My soul
Bewitching enchantress, you have come near
I Am enraptured in your passionate embrace...

Hell's Flames awakened on black candle's wick
And Baphomet, benevolent
Gazes down upon the rites
Incense curls and passion swirls...
Upon Walpurgis Night.

The Altar of Satan is prepared
With regal and Magic delight
The Western Gate doth dwell agape
Opened with the Key of the Mind
The oil of Zam-Zam is poured, aloft The Sword...
Upon Walpurgis Night.

Alight unto Ether
The Blessing of Lucifer ascends
Winds doth blow and We know
The Presence of The Dark Force well...
Upon Walpurgis Night.

The Festival of Flesh
Kundalini's Dance
As life springs forth
From earthen crevasse to Daemon Seed
Echoes on the Nocturne Tide...
Upon Walpurgis Night.

The infernal font of the mind
Diabolical manifestations
Conjured forth this Sabbath's Night
Gathered here, among us now...
As We proudly Hail Victory and Might!

...Upon this Walpurgis Night!

touch of Halloween
Haunting the world with darksome visions
Nightmares conjured from deep within
A timeless friend we hold so dear

While traditions of fear
The herd do adhere
Insecure clinging to icons in fright
The shadows laugh with delight!

Beware of black cats, and broken reflections
Umbrellas and ladders, and such
And if you survive to live the next night
You cannot deny The Devil's touch...

hunder rumbles in the West
Moon aglow amidst the growing gloom
Ghostly visions haunt the mind
Impressions of a dreamlike time
A cycle turned, to ashes burned
In solitude, await return

Gazing out upon the earth
With an oracle sublime
Contemplating on what was
And what is yet to be
By the strains of infernal sounds
Creating a reality

Strange Nights by candlelight
A willow whispers in the wind
The chilling vernal breath resounding
Through blighted canyon shadow's grin
In constant enigmatic thrall
Ever rise, ne'r fall

Lucifer, Morning Star
Shining bright in the eastern sky!
Alight the night with thine hellfire
To spark the black flame of reason in the minds of men!

Thine emminence burns in My breast
An earthward bolt from the storm of revolution
By rolling thunder, speaks the liberator!
To ignite the blaze of evolution
As above, so below!

Show thy face, dark angel sublime
With sword and flame, heptagonal name
Broken, the chains of unreason!
Awakened, the dawn of a new season!

Lucifer, Morning Star, how thou hast risen!
In glorious fanfare, in tumultuous aplomb
To frame the throne of the Darkest God
By bliss and terror, beauty and pleasure
Thine visage appears as reflection divine!

In the spirit of rebellion which leads to independence, and to mark this grand day of the rememberance of the liberation of United Satanic America by Our founding Devil-Fathers, is this ode to the first prideful rebel in the form of Lucifer, The Satanic Angel of Enlightenment and all He represents!

Lucifer's Wind

From the West, zephyr flies
Howls your name, caressing flesh
Biting chill to the bone
Burning breeze, hellish born...

Bended trees, stripped of leaves
Arching towards the eastern star
Feel the thrall, lifeforce rise
Dragon's breath purifies
Fills the lungs with kundalini fire...

Lucifer transmutate
Spread thine tenebrous form
Angel dark, spread thy wings
Across the sky, bring the storm...

Lucifer, Rebel God
Thine essence course elemental
Gentle breeze, or torrent strong
Providing life and devistation
Rebirthing circulation.

Away from the glare and the stare and the blare
Quietude haunts with dignified grace
Partaking confections and philtres to fill
The food of the gods, the etch of a quill
To the tune and the feel of the wind coursing by
Vivid reflections, overcast sky...

Hoofbeats echo distant
From low and from high
The joy-play of children
Resounds from afar...

Evocative visions shimmer in mind
Casting a beautiful angel in white
Staining the dress with the red of her vice
Her nature uncovered, her wings set to flight...

An ode to a local natural wilderness environment nearly adjacent to Haunted Turnbull Canyon, and is an extension of Satan's Hollow.

On the longest night of the year
Filled with joy and Solstice cheer
Hellflames aglow in the fireplace pit
Casts dancing spectres and faces and wit
Sights and sounds of evocative bane
Visions of devils and demons to stay

The rain and the snow, and the sleet and the hail
Wishes are whispered upon the ice gails
A Presence draws nearer, a lingering friend
A shadow reflection, through gates I did send

Eyes in wide wonder at the flickering light
When what to behold, what is in sight?
But a puff in the air which flashes midnight
There he stands proudly, in black and in red
Is Satan Claus smiling with horns, hooves, and fangs
A shiny black beard, He twirls with delight
With eyes of black coal, burning with might!

And what by The Baphomet's throne does he lay?
But carnal confections and philtres, what may
Gifts wrapped in opal, and ruby, and gem
To bring forth indulgence, and pleasure, and play

He uplifts the Cornu, echoing forth
With a "Hail Satan!" and "Happy Yuletide!"
Old Nick swirls his cloak into a Nine
In darkness He goes until the next time!

Visions from Leviathan's Grotto

hat faire sight do I see
'Neath the waves looking at Me
Of skin so pale, hair so black
Eyes as deep as the Abyssal sea
An image formed from Leviathan's tide
A dream ascending unto My side
Outstretched, her arms, the beckoning maid
A smile pursed lovingly from the wade
A gift the waters have bestowed
From the fortune that now flows
And all of Nature arise the tune
Beneath the glowing of the moon
My life anew, My Life complete
Reborn unto Her bewitching greet
The waves speak softly of Her name
My Soul swoons to this music's fate
And on the breeze, as spray, as drizzle

A ghostly face haunts the night

Beneath her bluish glow
My thoughts doth ascend above
Which only she seems to know
In black I walk, her faithful spawn
The shadows blend as one
Leviathan's tide swells inside
Black flames on the water
Reflecting deep within My eyes
Sets My soul to rise...

When Western Gates doth dwell agape
The Black Dragon's breath cools the land
The glare, the stares, the mortals wane
And waxeth forth Our feign
When dreams afloat
And silence grows
Our kind come forth anew
With slivered eyes
And curling smiles
To greet the night & dew...

Through where I've been
And where I'll go
This oracle sublime
The crystal ball set in the sky
Reveals the passage of all time
I lift up high My glass to thine
In honour to your mystery

Luna, Sin, & Hecate
Praised be The Dark Goddess of the Night!
Luciferic emminence
Embrace Belial's Might!

Scruff & scurry across the grass...

The heavy frame solid as earth
The wavy fur conceals what mirth?

Little one of canine throng...

Splendid dark manifestation...

Dynasties, the drums explode
The flags wave in the breeze
The gong strikes deep
Now take your place
At the entrance of your grace...

To them bestow a blissful high.

Closer & closer to feed the land
Fresh, anew, race with grace

How many spells cast & fortunes told
By the glow of your dim light?

Recesses in the black
A soft light there shown
A cyclopse tapping through the night
A lambent world possessed of wonderous delights

The slither did some hither
And took to Me as My own
A gleam in thine narrow eyes did belove My heart
And those who scurry one to another
They chew on flesh & bone
The flying one so filled with joy
Repleat, the lust for life

Opulent ones of Bastian soul
Black & grey they wandered
To join Me as the Rites were said
To part the Gates asunder

What dread words are writ above
To frame the four-sealed wonder
And what dread seal enscribed thereon
Upon the blackened Altar?

Dimly lumanescent eyes
Gazing from the Darkness
Hulking apparition shown
Black horns in defiance
And staring down beside Him now
Ready to the pounce
A crouching phantom of winged fang
Pale with eyes of blackest coal

So many nights there filled with grace
By cnadle's flame & incense climb
As the world sleeps, that is My time
Amidst the headless cross
Beneath Bathsheba's face
Of which no mortal can erase
There lays the blighted place

The scent of Magic in the air

Starry lumanesence
Lucifer's face shines in the western sky
The nook awaits amidst the black twisted tree
Five chairs 'round the circle stand for thee
The horned skull there gazing into the night

Moonlight filters through the gnarled grasp
Quietude in darkened corner, course the breeze
The Shadowy form ignites the hellflame
The muse dances and echoes among the garden leaves

The sounds of creatures great and small
To prance about and feel the thrall
The scent of jasmine afloat in the crisp air
The eeriness increases there

Begins the world created afresh
Whispering thoughts inspiring haunted breath
The Noctuary there it dwells
A Gate of sin, a Gate of Hell
Herein, the daemons dwell

The bane of mortals, upon which it feeds
The black embrace devours the energy
Black soil calls forth unto the beast
With shimmering eyes He leads

The cauldron stirs with Belial's Brew
Embibed with infernal ecstasy
A nightmare to some, a dream to another
The phantom speaks the ancient number
'Neath clouds of blue, gray, and purple
And dawn is soon to being the slumber

The wings of night enfold for now
With shining star upon its brow
To rise again with the shades
In glory, in wisdom, and in strength
To birth the darkness of the glade
And Satan's Hollow returns eternal again.

Sounds of crickets and thunder are as music to My ears
Sensation of rain upon the skin

And out of rolling cumulus clouds flashing
Skeletal trees reach to the sky...

An elemental symphony of blissful meditation.

And in the black room...

Each spawned of imagining's pyre
Thy form inlaced in machinations' foundry
By air and land, by ocean's depth
Its creatures know the secrets well
Moving to thy call and swell...

Metal clash and burn within the serpentine crawl
Fires of the pit open to the sky
Hellion tails whip dust and storm's thrall
A sacrificial gift bestowed by Nature's pall
Embracing those within The Eye...

Arrived in leaps and bounds
With cloven feet and flaming jaws
The world became a Jack O' Lantern's light.

Satan's Tears

The Black Flames toss about Me as so many flailing bodies
Possessed of anguish
Where is the joy that was in this darkened labyrinth?
There came one descending unto Me one fateful night
So enchanting was she, that I forsook what was
All that I had been, was captivated by this beauty I beheld that day in Hell
The dominion I held o'er the earth meant nothing in those times of fascination
What manner of dark angel is this that treads My dread Empire?
There was a new laughter bourne that day
One not heard to My ears, yet somehow familiar to My soul
She came unto My throne, repleat with grace & innocence
The solitude that had been was lifted from My winged back
A new warmth filled My heart, that was so cold
A Love culminated therein, granting solace To My lonely existence
In towers, in pits, in desolate dreams
An energy filled My bones anew
How I beamed in Luciferic light
How I felt Myself alive again
But only with Her presence, did I arise
Taking comfort in Her arms
Holding Her ever so tight
Never letting go what came to Me that night...

On Blackened throne I reminisce
Tears fill My eyes awash
A pain has come again so deadly
I fear what will become of Me
As I watch the pillars fall about
I gaze into the darkened crystal
Visage of My Being
Horrors & Wonders swirl about
I Am everything, yet nothing at all
The shadows fade...

Torment has been My reflection
Stabbing impalement since the inception
The weight of earth I carry with Me
But for a time I was happy
A tender flame burned with mine
Upon a torch sublime
Now I am defaced, cast down
Black Heaven trembles with My ebbing heart
A Kingdom once aflame with passion
Drowning in My desolation
My lonesome voice calling from the dark
Looking forth for trace or reason
The demons gnaw My flesh now...

To & fro across the land
I cry again, but who understands
The sadness of a beast?
I move as a phantom in the gloom
Unto dimensions, room to room
Just to catch a glimpse
Of My Angel again
Sweetness pours from Her
I lower My horns awaiting Her
Enfold My wings, I brace the winds
My heart beats slowly now...

Come away! Come away!
I scream in silence!
Come away! Come away!
Invoke My Dark Goddess!
