Marshalling of the Armies of Darkness Has Begun!

on 9/9/99 I invoked the daemon Beelzebuth using a variation
on Goetic ritual with sigilization and power-names, Black Cat
and Black Arts powders, Black Arts oil, incense, a red 
Sabbatic Goat candle and a few other ritual tools.

--------------------------------------------------------------

I began at dusk the day before by clearing a section of the
orchard near my home of dead plants and weeds. I had selected
it due to intuitive and practical considerations (it would
hold the sigillum that I was going to use which had been
specified in various grimoires). I chose Beelzebuth because
of hir relation to authority in daemonic hierarchical schemes
and to Beelzeboul, with whom I associated hir as the 'Lord of
Earth', being a kind of 'marshal' for the Army of Darkness.
just after this, one of the largest lightning storms in the
history of my region appeared.

all the time the previous evening and during this ritual
I was intoning/invoking a variety of beings, including
Ha Satanas, Mastema, Ahriman, and most often, Beelzebuth
or Beelzeboul as was my wont. 

during the late evening of the 9th, dressed in my ritual
robes and wearing devotional jewelry (as well as a very
nice skull-scarf over my hair, and with braided beard), 
having anointed myself with Black Arts oil (a special
recipe containing my blood) and started some Black Arts
incense to burn in a burner recently inherited from my
grandmother, I lit the red Sabbatic Goat and began drawing.

the sigil consisted of the talismanic elements from Goetic 
diagrams set into a *square* rather than a circle, excluding 
all of the Judeochristian godnames. I later drew (with 
'Touch the Earth Potion' designed by my niece) four 
power-names (a semi-random selection from a seal I had 
designed on another occasion, including Pazuzu, Azazel, 
Kali, and Lilith) inside the corners of the square, its 
orientation toward facing West (akin to my altar indoors).
the objective was as a kind of *target*, since I was 
intentionally INVOKING rather than evoking the daemon.
 
I used the stylus with which I had signed my blood pact
with Satan as a dispensor of the powder, which, despite
the fact that it was Dark Moon, showed up quite well 
under the overcast sky. after the interior of the square
was completed, including some other seals associated very
specifically with Beelzeboul and drawn with oil in the
center of the square, I sat and intoned more fervently,
sometimes beginning to enter glossolalia and, since I
consider this the language of the daemons, put some
intention behind it (greetings to the daemon, welcome,
slight communication of my purpose, etc.).

at some point I blew out the candle and rapidly drank
a beer from a skullcup. I was gradually aware of another
presence, one not antagonistic to my own and interested
in my activities. I communed with it through the course
of perhaps an hour or more (and 1 more beer), then set
to cleaning up after lighting the candle once more. this
done, I departed, leaving the sigillum intact and the
candle and few ritual implements inside the square.

I have neglected to mention a few perhaps insignificant
details, such as the die (gaming cube, d6) which I have
always before the Sabbatic Goat candle, 2 up and 1 out;
the machete which I used slightly to clear the area of
blackberry which grew on the perimeter and with which I
attracted the attention of Beelzebuth at the beginning
of the ritual invocation prior to making the sigils;
the cookies I brought but never ate; and the screwdriver
from the lab with which I drew in the dirt with oil;

in all I think the rite was a VERY promising start to
what I understand will be a long series of ritual
invocations of daemons over the course of the coming
years (beginning with the goetic and perhaps pursuing
these unto their end if they prove responsive, else
deriving my own sequence based on my intuitive
discernment of the relative positions of authority
within the daemonic chaos). the results appeared to
me beyond what I might expect with trance and the
invocation of gods or spirits otherwise -- the presence
was wild and decidedly predisposed to the invocation.
I understood that my preparations and timing had been
perfect and that this was a very effective means of
coming to a meeting with this entity.

notes for future rites:

	fill toilet rolls up with Black Arts incense and
	burn them whole; start earlier and construct most
	of the sigil by day so as to conserve powders;
	add perhaps 2 more beers for greater duration
	of the invocation time; use only Black Arts
	formula items rather than Black Cat; as Kali has
	suggested, proceeding from domestic bliss as was
	the case in this ritual is always best as a
	foundation from which to proceed into Otherworld
	workings.

for my magical record and the benefit of everyone,
this sent to the public. thank you in particular to the
cooperation and support of my betrothed, sri catyananda,
without whose help this would never have been possible.
response/query welcome.

blessed beast!
