Theatre of the Abyss : Concerning the Temple of the Abyss

Back to : Temple of the Abyss   |   Introduction

Who hath not seen hath not understanding
Who hath understanding hath no spoken
Who hath spoken hath nothing

--Ab Chao, Naught

From the Western Watchtower comes the Faceless god, robed in the Black of Night. He bears the sword and rod of the office of the Hierophant of DAATh. None shall see in the darkness of this Night, none shall hear in the Silence, nor attain against the Tide of Time. For KAOS bears against thee and Lucifer hath shut and sealed the doors of the Temple, setting an Angel to stand forth before it, for it is decreed that none shall enter who knows not the Word by which the initiate may rouse the Great Dragon and bind the demon CHORONZON until the halls of the Temple of the Abyss be opened.
Amen

Before thee, the Tower of CHORAZAIN
Behind thee, the ruler of the underworld
On thy right hand, the Angel of Vengeance
On thy left, the Secret Lord, wrapped in a shroud of Silence
Amen

Twice invoked, twice sealed, by the third the thing is wrought.
Awaken, awake! The Breath of the Father hath filled the Caverns of Space and lighted thereby the Darkness of Being with the purifying fire of Spirit, which is called Death and KAOS amongst the sons of men.

You who are touched by this hand, lament and pray, for She hath granted thee the cold mysteries of the Night, the Fire of Being by which the Archons are overthrown, the doors of the Temple are opened and knowing this you may stand forth and bind the Demon himself. And did She not guide the hand and touch the Earth by the works of Her servants who let loose the tides of blood and fire? Truly, the One who rules this place hath a countenance that is fierce and terrible to those who are not led by Her voice, and the Word which is spoken by Her.
Thus complete in the sign:

Via NOX, the Way of our God.
Night, Night, Night about and before me
NYX is the Fire
NYX is the Light
NYX is the First
NYX is the last
NYX, Mother, Creator
Slayer, Destroyer, carrion bird
Devourer of Her young
Deliverer of the Forsaken
The Light in Darkness
The Truth of the Silence
No name shall touch
No eye shall behold
No word shall stain
The Sanctum of our Mother
Amen
Thrice invoked, thrice sealed, it is finished.
