A Junior Witch's SELF-INITIATION
ALTAR ARRANGEMENT
Assemble all Witch's tools on a convenient altar. A black cloth with an inverted pentagram should cover the altar. Set up tools as shown, light candles and incense and meditate on the Ancient Mantra ("AUM Mani Padme Hum.") Be sure to center your thoughts on yourself, your attitudes and your entanglements, especially as they bear on this step you are making in your life. When you are ready, proceed.
Begin by chanting three times:
"Vakrtund
Mahakaya Surya Koti Samaprabha
Nirbhignam Kurumedaya Sarva Karyashu Sarvada"
Now raise the athame to the four directions, beginning in the East, saying:
EAST: "Lucifer, our Red Rage."
SOUTH: "Orpheus, our Golden Mid-heaven
WEST: "Marion, our Blue Tranquility"
NORTH: "Brigit, our Black Sleep."
Raise arm held out straight, palms upwards at 45 degrees, say:
"Above me shines the Serpent of Heaven."
Lower arms, turn palms downward, say: "About me shines the Rainbow of Life."
(Witches in the Southern Hemisphere should simply reverse North and South.)
Pause, reflect, ground and center, then take up your athame' and thrust the tip into the asperging bowl, saying "I exorcize thee, oh creature of water, that thou cast out from thee all the impurities and the uncleanlinesses of the world of phantasm; in the names of Lucifer and Aradia."
Now insert the tip of the athame' into the salt and say: "Blessings be upon this creature of salt; let all malignity and hindrance be cast forth hencefrom, and let all good enter herein; wherefore do I bless thee, that thou mayest aid me, in the names of Lucifer and Aradia."
Now take a tiny bit of salt on the tip of your athame' and thrust it into the asperging bowl, while saying: "Lord Shiva thrusts into Lady Parvati and the world is made anew."
"I take charge of my own free will. It is by my will and the power of my thought that I take the first steps in an eternal journey. Child I am of the Great Mother, the Seven-headed Dragon, the eight-armed Terror. Oh, skull, I carry your twin behind my face; I have no more fear of you. Oh, Darkness, I am the child of thy Daughter; you hold no fear for me, for you are ever in me. Oh, Death, Lord Ghede, Lord Yama, Eternal Huntsman, Oh Great Morrigan, Terror Goddess, thy faces are the mirrors of my own despair at my own extinction. Yet, ever do I believe in Lord Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva rising from the birth-cord of Kali Ma; and ever do I believe in the Great Path and the transmigration of souls, the sacredness of the Gods, the Craft of the Wise and the holiness of our ancestors.
"My secret name is [name], my guardian demon is [demon], my power totem is [power totem], [Patron Divinity] is my [Lord/Lady] and [Benefactor Divinity] is my [Lord/Lady.] I am the magician, I am the shaman, I am the Witch and I am the hunter. I am the bow drawn back to shed fresh blood. 'I am become Shiva, destroyer of worlds.' It is by my own free will that I do these things."
DENY CHRIST
"I behold thee, thou wretched, worthless one, thou plague upon mankind, Jesus the Christ, called Whitjohn. I deny thee, I abhor thee, I hate thee, I trample on thee and I turn my back on thee, forever and a day. I deny thy glory and I mock thy powers and thy worthless miracles. I will deny thee before all men. Whatever I may say or do, to cause people to doubt your words and scorn your slavery, that I will do. Master of Nothing, you thieve your lying glory from the true Gods and make of all Life a ravening pit, bereft of mind or soul, dead to pleasure, clouds without water, spirits lost to joy. I curse thee, J*sus Chr*st, Cockroach God, Fountain of disease, Light of Blindness, Son of a eunuch and a two-copper whore, I cast thee into the Forgotten Place, for never wert thou and never art thou and nevermore shalt thou be. So Mote It Be!
Hail, Satan! Hail, Astarte'! IA KALI MA!
TATHA ASTU!"
CURSE YAHU
(Take up small candle and light it. Then say:)
"Weak, jealous and bitter wert thou, oh Yahu called Jehovah by thy ignorant slaves. Angry mountain God of thieved birthrights and ravening maw hungry for innocent blood, thou didst steal thy glory and thy power from Odin and great Danballah and Father Ea and mighty Lord Brahma, oh ravening thing, lusting for the blood of the innocent and the cries of the suffering, you who delight in the tears of the motherless child and the tortured slave, I curse and deny thee forevermore. Where you have enslaved, I shall set free. Where you have brought ignorance, I shall bring forth the Light. And where your strange fire burns, I shall smother it out.
(Lick fingers, smother candle.)
"I curse you, Yahu, false Jehovah God. Vanish thou into the children's nightmares whence ye came. I shall have no more to do with thee."
Hail, Satan! Hail, Astarte'! IA KALI MA!"
TATHA ASTU!"
BLASPHEME THE HOLY SPIRIT
"Shadow of blight, bringer of ignorance, plague of madness, lice-ridden dove. I blaspheme your worthless name and I sweep away your wretched phantasms with the dust beneath my feet. You are the death of mankind, you are that which smothers wisdom and you are the harbinger of sorrow. Where your foul wings have touched, the fertile Earth dies and the fertile mind will never grow. I pluck the holy white dove from your witless and unworthy hands and return her to my Lady, Lakshmi, Astarte', Shakti Tridevi, whence she was riven. Begone, worthless one, for there is no place where you can be."
Hail, Satan! Hail, Astarte'! IA KALI MA!"
TATHA ASTU!"
NOW, place one hand on top of your head and the other hand on or beneath your feet. (Handicapped people may place one hand on their head or simply recite:
"All which is between my hands belongs to the Devil and His Bride. Tatha Astu. So Mote It Be."
Now, dip your aspergillum in the lustral waters and sprinkle your brow, your breast and your genitals. Take a pinch of salt and sprinkle it over your head. Now say, bowing with folded hands each time:
"I take my refuge in the Gods and the ancestors, the Children of Kali Ma."
"I take refuge in the Ways and the Wicca of the Witch."
"I take no refuge but with my self and my kindred spirits who will stand with me. Tatha Astu. So Mote It Be."
Now, take up the bread saying:
"The flesh of grass" and eat.
Take up the drink, saying:
"The brew of a man" and drink.
Finally, take the piece of meat and say:
"A dead cow, dragged away by the dog-eaters" and consume.
Now, take up your athame' and speak farewell to the Four Gentry:
Starting with the North:
NORTH: "Brigit, our Black Sleep."
WEST: "Marion, our Blue Tranquility"
SOUTH: "Orpheus, our Golden Mid-heaven
EAST: "Lucifer, our Red Rage.
Blessed Be!"
Now extinguish the candles and go rejoice; you are a fully-fledged Captive in the Satanic mind-control cult which Earthlings call "The Church of Kali."
Now, go print you out a card and a membership certificate and get cracking; you've got a few million lifetimes worth of work to do!
