rising in the sky, as well as sounds - among them were sounds of birds and dogs, owls screeching at night, and the howling of wolves. Invocation of the Goddess was most often described as a flow of soothing and purifying energy, cold waves of the female, lunar current, but there were also reports which referred to this energy as black, atavistic and quite overwhelming. What is significant, the Goddess was seen as the ancient, primal being, powerful manifestation of the Dragon of the Void. Her manifestations were primal and Draconian, focusing on her dark aspects, though revealing her tender side as well. Hecate was seen as a woman with long black hair. She was described both as young and beautiful and old, with grey hair. She came with wolves, serpents, dogs, and jackals. Sometimes she was a woman with three heads, displaying her threefold nature. Sometimes her face was hidden and she was wearing a hooded robe, either black, or white. Many also saw her as a woman in an emerald green dress. She also transformed into a dragon - a beautiful green dragon which looked like made of emerald jewels, powerful and majestic. There were also traditional visions of the Goddess in the form of the three women: one young, one mature and one really old, in the forest, standing around a fire. The fire was either brightly white or green. Other times, she changed into a serpent or serpents that coiled around the practitioner in the invocation. Her eyes were reptilian and her tongue was forked, like the tongue of a snake. She was also the torch-bearing goddess, with torches in both her hands. Her flames were not static, though, they were moving and changing, assuming shapes of serpents. These fiery snakes were coiling around the adept during the communion experienced through invocation, filling the body of the practitioner with fire, from the soles of the feet to the top of the head. Some participants also saw her appearing with both Lucifer and Belial. Invocations were also accompanied by visions such as three roads or paths, stairs leading up and down, to worlds above and worlds below, pointing at the Goddess' connection to celestial and infernal realms. There were also pillars of light connecting the earth with the heaven and the underworld. A few participants also noticed the connection of Hecate's energies to Venus, her copper color manifestations, the chalice with astral waters adorned with both sigils of Hecate and Venus, roses and flowers as offerings, both goddesses appearing as teachers and guides in the practice of feminine magic.
L ucifer Meditations with Lucifer's sigil were usually accompanied by flames in many different forms and manifestations. Some participants described this fire as burning and piercing, others as cold. The energy was red and intense or blue and charged with electric current. The sigil was usually burning and changing into the portal to the other side. Some participants reported vision of fiery serpents coming out of the sigil and coiling around themor biting themin the third eye in order to activate the connection between the inner mind and the energies of Lucifer. These meditations were sometimes accompanied by intense physical sensations in the third eye, tension, pressure, burning, etc. even pain, turning into a severe headache. This was caused by the flow of the energy and usually the unpleasant sensations disappeared when the energies settled down and becamebalanced. Visions reported from the sigil meditations included ancient places, temples, hallways, shrines with columns, deserts, pyramids, the red setting sun, golden serpents soaring up in the sky, coiling around the world and bursting with golden flames, phoenix birds flying through the space, carrying Lucifer's fire, reptilian creatures and beasts with burning eyes: dragons, bulls, goats, figures resembling Baphomet, etc. The sigil was changing into an eye, a triangle, a trident, shaping into different forms. ________________________________________________________________ Temple of Ascending Flame @ 2013 / ascendingflame.com
Fire was rising from it and becoming a portal to the other side. There was a thick and heavy atmosphere in the room, described by a few participants as overwhelming and even frightening. Dreams reported from these workings took form of nightmares, or they were often connected to certain aspects of these rituals. There were also visions of Lucifer and his throne among the stars. The throne was seen in many different forms - it was formed from natural landscape, such as mountains, volcanoes, tree branches, rocks, etc., or it was stellar and located somewhere in the cosmic space. Surrounded by flames or supported by four fiery pillars. Existing in the center of the universe. The most commonly reported vision of the throne was a golden temple, with red and golden flames, flashing with lights and shining like a torch in the blackness of the Void. There were serpents and dragons - ancient guardians and messengers of Lucifer. In invocations, Lucifer was most often seen in his red Draconian form - with red scaled skin, burning amber eyes, and longs horns on the head. He often had dragon wings and appeared surrounded by flames. The flames were usually red or golden, or both. There were also visions in which he manifested as a demonic being resembling a bull, a goat, or a dragon. He manifested also in human form but his skin was red and fiery and his eyes were glowing embers. He was either alone at the throne or surrounded by serpents, usually fiery. Sometimes these were golden cobras. The invocation and communion of energies was experienced as intense energetic contact. For many participants it was based more on sensations than any sort of visual contact. There were many descriptions of feelings, sensations and energy rising as flames through the chakras. Vivid dreams, personal, but magical, were a common element too. Floating or flying through black space to meet the Lord of Flames, then being devoured by his fire, transformed and purified - these were the visions described by participants from the ritual of invocation. Also, the two days with Lucifer were the ones when many participants reported visions of a female entity with reptilian features, serpents instead of hair, pale skin, and serpent tongue, appearing together with theLord of Flames in the ritual space. This female entity was most probably Sepheranz herself or one of Lucifer's female assistants.
Belial To many participants, this was their first encounter with Belial. Some of them admitted that for this reason they failed to establish contact with his energies, despite successful workings with the other two gods. Others described the visions and feelings as different than expected. But also many participants experienced powerful manifestations, typical for Belial's nature and powers. Meditations with the sigil were often accompanied by sensations of cold energy entering the room, noises and the sound of humming or buzzing, with which Belial often manifests on the physical plane. The sigil was morphing and changing, glowing and blurring, leaving the impression of looking into an eye or eyes. These were the eyes of an insect, an alien entity, an amorphous being, or a hybrid of them all. There were visions of a goat-footed entity, hooded figure rising from the sigil, giant head which looked like a hybrid of animal parts. The energy manifested in golden colors, as beams of golden light, golden flames or golden threads appearing all around. Apocalyptic and chaotic visions, grotesque and hard to describe with words, were commonly reported here. Scorpions and spiders, usually hybrids of those and others appeared through the sigil. The lines changed into black eyes or snakes coming out of the sigil. Some participants also saw blue flames and sparks of blue energy. Many others described their visions as "ancient Egyptian deserts and places", desert landscapes with reddish sand and pyramids, the black sun shining above. Visions of earth, holes in the earth, cracks, caves, tunnels, ________________________________________________________________ Temple of Ascending Flame @ 2013 / ascendingflame.com
vaults, sands and deserts, or the element of earth itself - all these were very common in these workings. Many participants described Belial as "the lord of war". His appearance was accompanied by visions of zombies and cemeteries, bones and burial grounds, war machines and weapons of destruction, violent visions of fighting and killing, swords and blades, clouds of smoke like after an explosion, battlefields with corpses and dying people. He also often appeared as a skeletal hooded lord walking in the company of demonic creatures with sharp teeth, zombie animals, especially dogs and jackals. Among his manifestations we can mentions such forms as: a centaur with wings and animal head; androgynous figure, neither female nor male; gigantic insect, hooded man; black shadowy figure; a gigantic black scorpion on the desert sands; half man and half scorpion; black dragon; jackal-headed figure, tall, muscular, with dark, almost black skin; bronze statue or dark entity sitting on a bronze throne, etc. He had a huge trident and sometimes he had devil's horns. His form was shifting and mutating. He was also a human with a red demonic face, with fiery streaks of lava instead of veins. Sometimes he was a draconian entity, with scales on the skin and snakes writhing on the sides of sis face. Other times, he was a mass of insects, usually flies. And he also came in a wolf form, with fur and sharp teeth. Many participants also reported visions of an alien entity, combined with visions of alien places, landscapes and planets. The invocation was described by some participants as a powerful transformation into a fiery scorpion, injection of venom in the third eye, the trident being the key to the other side. This experience was combined with sexual visions and intense erotic communion of senses. He also manifested as dragon rising from the earth, streams of energy piercing the body of the practitioner from all around. During the absorption of energies, some participants saw themselves in a golden armor, others were transformed into a golden scorpion or a golden dragon. What is interesting, this work brought many reflections on the similarities of visions with Belial and Baphomet. Belial appeared with Baphomet's head to some participants, accompanied by visions of medieval cult places, castles, knights, ritual chambers and places, with bronze statues of a horned goatheaded god who looked like Baphomet but spoke with Belial's voice. The androgynous nature of the energy reported by some participants could be also connected ho this Baphomet aspect. This also connects the Lord of the Earth with medieval grimoires and the Goetic legend of Belial entering a statue to act as an oracle to his worshippers after being released from King Solomon's brazen vessel.
The Three Gods The last ritual was optional and some practitioners chose not to do it. Some participants admitted that it was too much power for themto handle and they either didn't go fully into the ritual or needed a few following days to process the amount of energy released through this working. Others reported it as calm and relaxing, with a good balance of energies from the previous workings. All Gods could be felt separately and their energies were conjoined. They either appeared one by one or all together. The atmosphere in the room was described as heavy, and there were physical manifestations, noises, change of temperature, candles flickering and flames growing bigger, etc. Manifestations were similar as in the previous rituals - serpents, flames, scorpions, sparks of their energy conjoined: green, red, blue and golden. Invocation and communion of energies brought visions of transformation into a reptilian form - a snake, dragon, winged entity. Also some participants mentioned transformation into a scorpion. This working also brought many personal insights and participants received messages and advice concerning their spiritual path, especially the work with the Atlantean current and the Draconian Path ________________________________________________________________ Temple of Ascending Flame @ 2013 / ascendingflame.com
of Flames. Also, many of themadmitted that through this work they have gained better knowledge and understanding of the Atlantean current and the patron deities of the path. For many it was an invitation to work more and deepen the connection. Reports from the last day involved a great deal of personal self-reflection.
