Theatre of the Abyss : The Temple Book

Back to : Temple of the Abyss   |   Introduction

We are taught that there is but one Art, which, like a finely cut gemstone, reveals a multitude of facets each reflecting and shining with its own unique light. For us, the first task must be to understand where we have come from, in a spiritual sense, in order to see where we are going. It makes no difference where the story is picked up, except for how long it will take us to get to the present.
--Liber M,Part XXI

Part I. The Lord of the Gateway

The Lord of the Crossroads is the guardian of the Gateway wherein those that are Outside may comune with the priest of these Mysteries. Neglect not the guardian of the Gate in his offerings or his ceremonies, for he shall be thy strength against those who dwell without the Universe. And this god hath many forms and shall reveal to whom he will the signs and the rites and the sacrifices of each…

The Seven Spirits of the Zones of Night: The tower of Chorazin rises up against the sky of the Desert of Night, and the Temple which stands before the Fortress of the Circle, and these are mysteries of the cultus. Each zone has been named and mapped and the doors that open upon the Place of Terrors has likewise been opened. To those who seek this path, hear and listen, for the rites of the Circle are of the balckest and most baleful sorceries and no Moon ever shineth upon the Sabbats of the Circle, save the Moon of Blood and the Black Moon of HEKATE, which is called the Witch Moon and the Sorcerers Moon, and also the Balck Moon of the Dragon. And so each of these shall grant the Priest of the Archonic Power which rules that place the baleful and strange powers of its master.

The Assembly of the Infernal Star: Now that the path is shown and the Book revealed unto thee who seeks to walk upon the highway of the Spawn and enter in to the realms of the dead. Know then that within the secret cults which thrive here there is a gathering of demons and witches, sorecerers and the foulest spirits that roam the Earth. And they howl together before the alter of the Terrible One, she who cries out in the Night, the Mother of Abominations, the Queen of Demons, the form and ruler of Night. Lady of atrocities, blessed Virgin of darkest desire, Mother of the Dragon and the Lightbearer, she whose presence is known in the formula of the Moon, to you we gather benaeath the Witch Moon, to you we make sacrifice before the alter, to you we bow. And we affirm that She will give to those counted as Hers all they desire, for they are bond to Her for-ever and whomever she loves shall be lifted up beyond the last gate, to dwell in the darkness that is the true Light.

Seek you now the ways of the magick that shall lead you here, for in the deciphering of the signs, theunderstanding of the Book is attained, therfore the Book of the Dragon is the key of this place and its beauty shall be revealed to any that find the secrets thereof. So are the gates known and numbered. She has called upon you and you have heard the Voice. The Guardian has come to you and sworn his allegiance. Thus marks the end of the end of the approach.

Phase: So now the Phase begins its transition to the next as Night creeps toward the zenith and the Black Sun ascend unto the height.

Book of Shadow: Cast thy spell upon the root of the Earth, pronounce the judgements of the Most Hight and it shall be bound in Heaven and upon the Earth. Will, dare, know; and keep thy pledge of silence. All is prepared and waits the coming of the one who shall ascend unto the Temple. All is prepared. Now you shall find the Book of True Shadows and the formulae and rites of the circle. Thy angel has led thee to this place and you are therefore welcomed.

K.A.B.: The angel that tends the Fire within the sanctuary, it is I who led thee unto the grove of the Black Snake cult, before the alter of the Vampire God, before the images of the one who dwells in the Abyss. Now before the alter of the Goddess of Blood and Darkness, all these and the fires of the Moon Cult, the foul ones that come to the Sabbat of the sorcerers and the inner sanctum of the Goddess of Blood and desire (HEHATE). And all these and the rites of the Moon cults and the dark things that attend to the sorcerers Sabbat. They are unholy and baleful before the world but exhaulted amongs the gods. Thus revaled it is given.

Part II.

1. In the Spaces of Time proceed the stars of Heaven from the Height whereby the transmutation of 8 ? 9 takes place.
2. The Nine-fold gate is the computer matrix of the Time Stations that lie upon the axis of the World. Seek in the signs of the Book the key that opens these mysteries.
3. In the Transmution of the nine-fold stream will the being of the magician be likewise transmuted unto the life of the Universe.
4. In the streams of OJAS are the streams coagulated into the forms of consciousness and the operation completed.
5. In the name of BAVOT has been revealed a great key for the formuala of that spirit is found the secret of the vivified matrix wherein the alchemic transforms are accomplished that the rite may proceed.
6. In this there is nothing hid, for the way has already been discovered and written in the Book of the Coiled Dragon.
7. It is thus the nature of the Universe that sacrifice is the true gift of life, for it is written ;whomsoever will give his life shall gain it and those that would refrain from the sacrifice and seek to horde the treasure within shall instead lose it’.
8. This is the initiation of the Magus, the one whose Word shall illumine he Night as a great star new-born in the firmamanet of Heaven.
9. The Temple is thereby shown to be the body of the Magician and thus the field of alchemical transforms may occur nowhere if it is not first acieved in the being of the Magician.

The 9 points of the Book thus given the work shall proceed.

Theoretical I: The Matrix – the first perfect form of the matrix is the order 3 square which is 3 * 3 or nine divisions. The last perfect form is 9 * 9 or 81. So are numbered the unfolding of the Art in the spaces of the flesh and the points that are found in each matrix shall activated by the blood of the Magician and the elixir appropriate to the planet thereby associated may be prepared.

Theoretical II: Simple Universes – in the 3?9 transformation the entire form of the operation is revealed for the 7 planetary points are contained therein as are the points of the matter of the Work and the Stone itself. The key transforms are :

-> 1 -> 2 -> 4 -> 7 -> 11 -> 15

These are ‘extended’:
4+7=11
4+11=15
2+7=9
2+11=13
1+9=10
1+11=12
The sequence reveals the breaking of the time\space logicks of base 10 which is transformed back into 1 ? [10: 1 + 0 = 1]. In the Matrix of points there are simple nodes, transform nodes and fields.

Theoretical III: The Temple of the Body – The research for this point is already complete, it is simply emphasized in the continuum ( 4 * 4 ) into 16 that the computer of the physical body is mapped. All further work in this region is thereby obtained experimentally.

Theoretical IV: Defined Logicks of the Gate – FIAT creation of homunculi are achieved by the works of Grand Legba and also the Ghuedes. These spirits provide the mappings for all required points. They are likewise found by applying the tech-analysis methods of the Enclave.

Logical 0: Trans-elemental Mappings – Beyond the elemental maps the 5-9 values are connected to the ‘outer’ spheres (planets) whereby stellar and trans-dimensional influences may be brought into the vessel via the gateways of the Matrix.

Logical I: 0-point – the Null point is not mapped to any node, neither beginning, end or in between. Because it is not mapped, it is said to be present in all valid nodes at once as the value 0 is the value of the connectives between the gates. By the logick of 0 (Null) is the nature of the gateways understood mathematically.

Part III. The Sacrifice and the Summoning

Praxis I: Sacrifice – The sacrifice must be selected and prepared with love and great care. The induction of the being into the matrix should not be seen as the creation of the spirit in question, as the spirit of the victim is still connected with the vehicle (body) to some extent so long as it lives. Rather, the binding of the soul is in reality a further ‘earthing’ of the spirit beyond which even its material self is bound the physical world. Therefore even when the spirit is birthed from out of the Matrix we understand that it is a phase transition in the continuum of its being. This applies to all types of sacrifice.

The material vehicle of the (bound) servitor of the alchemist may then be to the matrix of the spell and sacrificed according to the nature of the entity being summoned. It must be repeated that the soul capture is a sacrifice no less terrible than the sacrifice of the physical body with the soul bound within it. And so in the feeding of life on life and spirit on spirit is the primordial mystery of life enacted.

The physical vehicle is cremated once the sacrifice has been made and the ashes collect and smeared on the matrix of the spirit being called up. This ‘feeding’ must occur as soon as the cremation is complete as the force generated will quickly dissipate if not properly contained.
It is also desirable to sacrifice by symbolic formula to the spirit in order to provide him with enough energy to carry out his assigned task. The method for this type of work is known and given in full. It is left up to the magician to devise the rubric for this working.

Praxis II: the Opening – Therefore the goal is accomplished when the gateway opens. And this is always to be counted as a gift from Grand Legba and he should receive offerings in thanks for the successful completion of the Rite.

Praxis III: Ritual forms – Obtain the seal or image of the spirit to be invoked. Conjure him via the psi-form techniques (this is simply a communication thus no binding is required) and explain what you wish from the demon. Prepare the Rite of Calling and the victim. Once the temple is open conjure the spirit to physical form (w\in the matrix of sacrifice) and proceed according to grade and understanding of the Art

Beyond this, nothing.


The Watcher of the Moon roads gives as he will Mind the rite and sacrifice as he will open the way for all that is to come.


Thus the Word is complete.
