NOX UMBRA is a grimoire. Presented here in the pages of this tome are the hints from which one may

come into the "knowledge of the circle". The culture specifications are undoubtedly varied, from

Egyptian to Ancient Persian to European, however this is wherein one discovers the points or as in

Voudon, 'Points chorals ' or hot spaces from which certain areas of textual transmissions develop and

occur. Cain as the initiator stands in the cold areas of which many would not visit, wrapping in the cloak

of night - it is here you may spark a fire, sit and listen carefully to his tale. This path is dangerous, it may

prove ones menial downfall. However, it is not advocating

Criminal or aggressive behaviour. Nox Umbra is a spiritual work, and should be viewed as such.

PRIMAL SORCERY AND VAMPIRISM

Vampyrism is indeed a sinistral (left way or LHP) collection of various aspects of folklore and initiatory

currents in Black Magic and Sorcery. What enables sorcery to occur in a productive or destructive aspect

is the combination of Will-Desire-Belief. Vampyrism within the current of modern Witchcraft is a

development from the Sabbat - the Infernal awakening of the sorcerer as a shadow-manifestation of

Ahriman, the Persian- Zoroastrian sorcerous being who was evil, or adversarial chaos embodied.

Black Magic has long been viewed as a self-centered and selfish area of study, which often causes

obsession and destruction. This, if looked through a RHP (Right Hand Path) or Path of Disillusion (i.e.

Christianity) this is accurate according to the belief structure. Keep in mind that Religious pathways such

as Christianity hold no Adversarial view piont rather than the extremes of the exact opposite side- which

is not a natural point of study in itself. Can the Buddhist understand Christian thinking inherently and

objectively? Yes, this path allows psychologically the ability to perceive and understand other views,

while still limiting material control and destroing

the self in the natural order. Could Christians understand a Buddhist view point-As a majority, No. Can a

LHP (Left Hand Path) practitioner understand the religious doctrine of Christianity- Yes, while most of us

find subservient behaviour abhorrently disgusting.

Yet Christians still view our Walk as the Opposite of what it actually is! A Luciferian loves life,

seeks to strengthen it by self-perception devoid of unnecessary egotistical thought. The Sethian/Luciferian

understands life is a great opportunity to Come into Being as something greater. The primal sense of

dissatisfaction was with Lucifer/Azazel from the time of Heaven, having all the beauty around him was

nothing without self-respect and freedom. The price was painful, and dark. Alas, in this darkness was

found a light - the Black Flame of individual being.

The Vampyre Sorcerer indeed loves life, and the realms of ghosts and shades, we find

nourishment in their tombs and black earth. Yet when we emerge in the Light of Shaitan in the Noon Tide

Sun, we can appreciate it more. We explore the dreaming Sabbat as wolf and blackened shadow, as

Ahriman the Lord of Darkness - As Demon and Dragon, yet in the Dawn light we arise and face the

beauty of nature.

By the Antinomian path of self-deification (separation of the natural order) we are able to observe

and enjoy the breathtaking world around us - the forests, the water, the night sky - all of this pleasures

many take for granted. We are awake and nothing can stand in the way of that. We begin to understand

who and what we are, the possibilities and the process of changing the natural order in accordance to our

Will. This is the Lucifcrian and Sethian Flame of being - the Black Flame itself!

There are specifically two methods Of practice in Vampyrisrn as within an initiatory context -

mastery of the self and the Left Hand Path approach of Witchcraft and Sorcery. The Vampyre - initiate

who seeks the union of Ahriman and the disunion with the natural-order works in the darker or

adversarial spirits, what is the same as within Palo Mayombe and Petro Voodoo currents of sorcery. By

entrancing the self by the methods of offbeat rhythm, the magician calls forth the Left-Handed aspects of

the self, the Vampyric Famulus (Latin for familiar) whom is the shadow-drinker, the Loa of the Grave,

whom has survived physical death and is not held in the limitations of flesh alone.

The sorcerer by employing the technique of trance-induction by off-beat drumming creates a

vortex of sound from which invocation and possesion may occur. The mark of the Cross-Road is the

displaced consciousness of the sorcerer who becomes a gateway to Hell (Helan, the meeting place of

sorcerers and the dead)

In Luciferian and Sethanic Witchcraft, the current of vampyrism is explored through the sorcerous

aspects of summoning, creating and controlling shadows and wraiths, all connected by the self. Before

practicing the mentally challenging and dangerous rituals and workings in this tome, please take some

time to explore what you are and how you may connect with this path. Even for a Luciferian Witch, this

is a thorny and treacherous road to roam. You may have certain visitors attracted by the gates you may

open.

Be warned.

A VAMPYRIC WORKING OF SELF STUDY

Decorate your temple of Working according to the vampyric path and how it perceives to you

personally. In the middle of this room have a nice pillow to sit upon. Have either upon the floor a simple

table or small cloth to plate a black mirror upon. Have one candle (black) behind this mirror. Place

yourself on the pillow and begin a slow meditation on what you consider a vampyre spirit to be. Think

about each attribute and then think of yourself in relation to it. Then hold the mirror and gaze into it.

Focus and do not allow your mind to wander. Command the worlds of darkness to open to you, and then

watch yourself transform. Will your flesh and astral body to change and morph into a vampyric form you

hold identity with. Perceive yourself and remember it. You WILL change in time. If you find yourself

frightened or if other shadow forms touch you, a feeling of weakness occurs you should banish

immediately and consider not attempting this again.

This may be a suggestion of your work in reference to Vampyrism and Shadow Sorcery, both of

the Sabbat and the Sethanic Path of Witchcraft will strengthen you in the darkened and tomb soiled

shroud of Ahriman. Come now unto his pitch arms and talons, transform in the embrace of the father and

mother of the Blood Moon of Tiamat and Babalon.

AHRIMANIC VAMPYRE

The Ahrimanic Vampyre is one who has isolated the psyche, understanding that we are spiritual beings

within flesh. We can thus control our immediate surrounding world. As we are born in darkness, we are

nourished in the shadows. As we are strengthened in the Noon-Sun which is the time of

Shaitan, we create darkness and shadow equally. The Ahrimanic Vampyre seeks the in-between, or

Neither-Neither world of twilight, from which the shades of the dead commune with the living.

The shadow may be grown, cultivated and manipulated through the Will of the Ahrimanic Sorcerer,

through darkness we expand and strengthen our consciousness. It is this hidden aspect of sorcery and

witchcraft which breeds the legends of evil concepts, while it is only a hint at the purpose of the Left

Hand Path. This way is devoid of moralistic concepts, thus in the absolute and in the isolation from it,

we are uniquely separate from all exterior forces, the very essence of Gods and Goddesses.

The Ahrimanic Vampyre is one who separates the psyche from the natural order and masters the

Nightside or Astral Plane within our physical world which we seek to control from within. The forms in

the Nightside of which we assume (Bat. Wolf, Moth, or a hybrid of each and others) are the extensions of

our Will and Desire.

The Vampyre is a being which has deified itself through the antinomianian process of Death and Rebirth,

one who has passed through the ancient aspects of Set and Anubis, the Guardians of the Threshold.

The symbol of the Dragon known as Tiamat or Leviathan is also Ahriman, the coiled beast

that is of serpent wisdom. The Dragon has fueled the myths of Dracula, the Dragon Race

from Wallachia. Dracos, Draconum is the very shadow of the immortal fountain of Life, which the

Vampyre seeks to bask in eternally.

Remember, in Bram Stoker's immortal "Dracula" novel, the Prince of Vampyres is transformed not by

another vampyre. but rather his own self-iniliatory work and Black Magic. Dracula itself was based from

two historical figures, Vlad Dracul, whom was of a family of the Order of the Dragon, and Elizabeth

Bathory, whose family crest depicted three wolf teeth surrounded by a Dragon(Leviathan, Ahriman).

The history of Bram Stoker's novel Dracula has its own curious beginnings in association with folklore

and historical figures. Specifically, in Dracula Was a Woman by Raymond T. McNally, Stoker had an

original manuscript of the novel which was later deleted, which was published in 1807. The character

Harker traveled from Munich to a isolate area from which he comes into contact with a Vampyre female

named Countess Dolingen
