Key to Thee Sun God
Utu-Shamash
Lord Shamash, come forth
Thy Ashipu call to thee
Lord of thee Sun, come forward
Lord of the Golden Disk of Anu
Wielder of the sacred flame
Come forth!
From the shadows between the worlds I call ye forth
Shining within thy golden rays I invoke ye
Fill me with thy strength and thy power
as harbinger of thy golden light
He who walkest between the worlds
Wherein his kingdom eternally shines
Beacon in the infinite void
Lantern in the abyss
Thou art the key between worlds
As we set sail on ships of sorrow
This is the key to the Sun God
Lord Shamash
I am thy way
Lord Shamash
I am thy blade as thou are my ward
Lord Shamash
I am thy voice as thou art my word
Let strength and honor ring true,
as the song of my sword
From kingdom to crown
From Crown to kingdom
The path of the ever burning flame
Manifestations ov Thee Vnconqvered Svn:
We sing our hymns to thee
Shamash: The Golden
Aya: The Dawn
Aten-ra: Charioteer in the East
Harpokrates: The Silent One
Melicertes: The Fierce
Gabil: Master of the Forge
Sin: Reflection ov The Moon
Luggal-Girra: Ever Flickering Flame
Apollo: The Shining
Elegalbalus: Sol Invictvs
Helios: The Ever Adrift
Malzaz Hyroth – he who holds the key to Yog Sothoth
Be a guiding light, as we travel to foreign lands
Come forth within this sonic temple,
tether thyself to these tones eternal!
Part II: Soullar Moliation
Torrefaction of flesh into aether
to cross into the void on wings of smoke
Burned away into nothing
the separation of Ba and ka
to split into the hallowed halls of Amenti
and worlds of the walking
Rejoined in a helix of purpose
an amalgamation towards the darkness beyond
Soullar moliation
Masque against the eater of men
Our scrolls a guide from hungry gods
Deities long forgotten
Clawing for memorial form
Yhe pathways unto shining kingdoms
and treasures of long dead conquerors
As we are dead within the earth
Remnants crumbling in the hands of sorcerers
Burned and cast into the wind
Ash and smoke are twisted within his holy fire
Even as dust we shall serve
Dreaming of eternal return
One with Thy Golden Flame

Chemosh

Chemosh + Khemosh + ASTRCHEMOSH
Astaroth + ASTARTRE + ASTR
Left hand of doom: come forth!
Witherer of crops, bringer of drought
Thee howling of the winds in desolate lands
Laughter Upon the Bones of the endless desert
Essence of moon and void: come forth
Voiceless Death Knell in Desiccated Hollows: AWAKEN
For the light must sleep
and our lord must not look upon us
Chemosh, keeper of the black flame:
Come forth!
Heed thy forsworn evocations ov this sorcerer:
For I have been chosen to wield thy unholy fire within my left hand
Thou art my oar in the abyssic ocean
A cloak of black-night to pass unseen
Thy shell of darkness, a cold longing
Armor against the wickedness without
...and within
A Spear thrust between the worlds
A shield of drowning depths
(Ov The Lightless Oceans Beneath)
As Black sun's rise
She shall do harm
As moon's eclipse
She shall pull the earth
(AVE CORONA MORTIIS)
Lord Chemosh,
Eye within the black triangle
Let us gaze into the wickedness of their hearts
and bring pestilence upon them, as they would seek to do us harm.
Drown them in the waters of the river lethe
Let us fade into shadow
Let us strike within dreams
Invoke our own madness into them
Tsepha: Serpent of black undulation
Recoil once more
Brace your coils upon the Tree of Death
Bleeding the sap
It shall drip into their mouths
Poison beyond poison
The killer of self
The death of the “I”
And Your Shining Scales: A Bridge over Daath
And they would fear sleep
For they are now accursed
to only see the truth
in their dreams.
Reveal my enemies within thy Black Flame
Grant me the power to claim victory
Balance the scales in MY favor
Let my sorceries pass unseen
Let my enemies drown in their own blood
Give unto me the spoils of the conquered
Dispel all lies of my countenance
Grant me vengeance
Let no laws of man bind or restrain me
May the watchers be Blind
Let No Circles Bind Thee
(Break all Circles Protecting against me)
Let No Triangles Hold Thee

Hymn to the Sun God
O Shamash
You flame up the foundation of the heavens
You have opened the lock of brilliant Heaven
The bolt of the sky has been removed
O Shamash, you lift up your head to the earth
O Shamash, you cover the earth with your heavenly splendor
When you look upon the land, you bring forth light
The way of the land guides you
You have created the beasts of the field
the living creatures
You are father and mother to them
they listen to you
You provide them shelter and food
O Shamash!
You are chief of the gods
You go before the Anunnaki.
In the heavens you shine!
With Anu and Enlil you are king of mankind!
You guide the law of all people!
O god of justice in the heavens:
Thou art eternal
Thou art the wisdom and the justice of the land!
You know the pious, and the wicked
O Shamash, righteousness lifts it's head up to you!
O Shamash, wickedness is like a whip torn through you
O Shamash, you are the helper of Anu and Enlil
O Shamash, you are the judge of heaven and earth
The god of man steps devoutly before you
to speak on account of his son
establish for him a command of peace:
A command of life!
I, loving kindness of a joyous heart
He looks to you as the beasts of the fields
In gracious thought
Grant us thy splendor
May Shamash, the king of the son of his god
Speak so that into the hand of righteousness
Wickedness is delivered!
Lord of the great place of kullab, the hero in his land
To thee this man, the son of his god
Raises his voice
O Shamash, you are the lofty Judge
You are the great lord of the lands
Lord of all living creatures
You are the merciful one of the lands
O Shamash at this day purify and cleanse this king
the son of his god
Whatever evil Sorcery which is in my body
may it be removed at your decree!
Amongst all the gods there is none but you who knows such toil
At your rising in the dawn, the gods of the lands assemble
Your fierce glare covers all the earth
Of all the lands of different tongues
You know their intentions, you see their footprints
All shall kneel before you,
the universe longs for your light!
The vast expanse of the seas
Whose depths not even the Maskim know
Your radiance reaches the depths
Those of the vast ocean can see your light
You are not dejected each day,
Your surface never dark
By night you destroy the darkness
To distant lands and uncounted leagues
You have persevered, rising again and again!
Even in eclipse, shines thy eternal crown
Even in the night sky you shine in the moon!
Shamash! SOL INVICTUS! SHINING ONE!
Eternal is the Unconquered sun!
O Shamash, thy Ashipu calls to thee
Thy will: my hands
You cross time and time again
O Shamash, who has known darkness
Guide us through the darkness
O Shamash, thou art the beacon in the abyss

To Charon

Place An Iron coin up on thine clos'd third eye
Journey with the boatswain old,
usher us whom die
The Greatest moon of Yuggoth cold
Sailing from unlight's stronghold
as we call unto the black abyss
Give unto me the midnight kiss
refractions ov anti cosmic light
and Drift into the eternal night
Vast abyssic there in ocean's depths,
the land where shadows lie
The mountain in the moat, thy doom
now come, the ever searching eye!
The river Styx your closest son, orbitd' by night
guarded by Kerberos fear'd and Hydra's 14 eyes!
Thy Siblings are Fear Sleep and Death
Retribution and The Dream
enshrouded by dread Moros' breath
so shall we pass unseen
Banished from Elysium
for did there ye heroes bring
The unlight ov Urshanabi
for whom Gilgamesh did sing
Humut Tabal thy thousandth name,
usher us to peace
The silence and the stillness of
death beyond all dreams
Daemon angel psychopomp,
all and none and each
Guidng with thine beacon pale
your passage we beseech
Servant of thee one and all
(Flame) In the Abyss
My iron coins now cross your palm
to the far shores of the STYX
Guide me through the fetid swamps
of accurs'd Acheron
so shall we row upon flames of woe
from dread Phelegethon
Upon the tip of thy oars drip
the woes of Cocytus
But ferry me first to the river Lethe, allow me to forget
For I shall be the nameless one, as I dive into thy depths

Liber Israfel
26:26
|

The Temple being in darkness, and the Speaker ascended into his place, let him begin by a ritual of the Enterer, as followeth:
Procul, O procul este profani.
Bahlasti! Ompehda!
In the name of the Mighty and Terrible One, I proclaim that I have banished the Shells unto their habitations.
I invoke Tahuti, the Lord of Wisdom and of Utterance, the God that cometh forth from the Veil.
O Thou! Majesty of Godhead! Wisdom-crowned Tahuti! Lord of the Gates of the Universe! Thee, Thee, I invoke!
O Thou of the Ibis Head! Thee, Thee I invoke.
Thou who wieldest the Wand of Double Power! Thee, Thee I invoke!
Thou who bearest in Thy left hand the Rose and Cross of Light and Life: Thee, Thee I invoke.
Thou, whose head is as an emerald, and Thy nemmes as the night-sky blue! Thee, Thee I invoke.
Thou, whose skin is of flaming orange as though it burned in a furnace! Thee, Thee I invoke.
Behold! I am Yesterday, To-Day, and the Brother of To-Morrow!
I am born again and again.
Mine is the Unseen Force, whereof the gods are sprung! Which is as Life unto the Dwellers in the Watch-Towers of the Universe.
I am the Charioteer of the East, Lord of the Past and of the Future.
I see by mine own inward light: Lord of Resurrection; Who cometh forth from the Dusk, and my birth is from the House of Death.
O ye two Divine Hawks upon your Pinnacles!
Who keep watch over the Universe!
Ye who company the Bier to the House of Rest!
Who pilot the Ship of Ra advancing onwards to the heights of heaven!
Lord of the Shrine which standeth in the Centre of the Earth!
Behold, He is in me, and I in Him!
Mine is the Radiance, wherein Ptah floateth over the firmament!
I travel upon high!
I tread upon the firmament of Nu!
I raise a flashing flame, with the lightning of Mine Eye!
Ever rushing on, in the splendour of the daily glorified Ra: giving my life to the Dwellers of Earth.
If I say “Come up upon the mountains!” the Celestial Waters shall flow at my Word.
For I am Ra incarnate!
Khephra created in the Flesh!
I am the Eidolon of my father Tmu, Lord of the City of the Sun!
The God who commands is in my mouth!
The God of Wisdom is in my Heart!
My tongue is the Sanctuary of Truth!
And a God sitteth upon my lips.
My Word is accomplished every day!
And the desire of my heart realises itself, as that of Ptah when He createth!
I am Eternal; therefore all things are as my designs; therefore do all things obey my Word.
Therefore do Thou come forth unto me from Thine abode in the Silence: Unutterable Wisdom! All-Light! All-Power!
Thoth! Hermes! Mercury! Odin!
By whatever name I call Thee, Thou art still nameless to Eternity: Come Thou forth, I say, and aid and guard me in this work of Art.
Thou, Star of the East, that didst conduct the Magi!
Thou art The Same all-present in Heaven and in Hell!
Thou that vibratest between the Light and the Darkness!
Rising, descending! Changing ever, yet ever The Same!
The Sun is Thy Father!
Thy Mother the Moon!
The Wind hath borne Thee in its bosom; and Earth hath ever nourished the changeless Godhead of Thy Youth!
Come Thou forth, I say, come Thou forth!
And make all Spirits subject unto Me:
So that every Spirit of the Firmament
And of the Ether,
And of the Earth,
And under the Earth,
On dry land
And in the Water,
Of whirling Air
And of rushing Fire,
And every spell and Scourge of God the Vast One, may be obedient unto Me!
I invoke the Priestess of the Silver Star, Asi the Curved One, by the ritual of Silence
I make open the gate of Bliss; I descend from the Palace of the Stars; I greet you, I embrace you, O children of earth, that are gathered together in the Hall of Darkness:
...
The Speech in the Silence.
The Words against the Son of Night.
The Voice of Tahuti in the Universe
in the Presence of the Eternal.
The Formulas of Knowledge.
The Wisdom of Breath.
The Root of Vibration.
The Shaking of the Invisible.
The Rolling Asunder of the Darkness.
The Becoming Visible of Matter.
The Piercing of the Scales of the Dragon.
The Breaking Forth of the Light!
There is an end of the speech; let the Silence of darkness be broken; lest it return into the silence of light.

Lord Shamash: Fill me with Thy Light
Lord Sariel: Come Forth!
Watcher of the Third Tower: Come forth!
Bulwark of The Heavens: Come forth!
Thou who vibrate'st between the light and darkness
I invoke thee
Command of God, Thou of eternity trembling
Come forth!
Greatest of the watchers: Come forth!
Sword of Samael, Angel of Death: Come forth!
Thou who didst teach men the secrets of the moon
Come forth!
Thou who didst beget the Nephillim, come forth!
Come forth and presidith over my workings
Be as a sentinel unto my arts
Cast out any unclean spirits
Who would wish to do me harm
And if they come again, destroy them with thy flaming sword!
In the name of Shamash
Consecrate this ground!
Consecrate this temple!
Consecrate this circle!
Tower of the East: I Invoke thee
Sentinel of the South: I Invoke thee
Watcher in the West: I Invoke thee
Sword of the North: I Invoke thee

To protect and destroy!
I bind thee to this sonic temple
Tones both to carry and restrain
Spread thy many wings about my temple
ensorcell this my sacred ground
Allow none to escape thy infinite gaze
Allow nothing to disturb thy vigil
Resilient and splendorous thou art!
Drink of the essence and incense before me
Bathe my enemies in the flames of thy perdition
Thou art my sword and shield
and I am the voice of the Vnconqvered Svn!

Spirits of the arcane come forth
Endless torrents of power
Ripped from the fabric of the eternal stars
Open the gateways to infinite dimensions
Infinite worlds
The Magus: shifting realities to unveil
The mysteries of waking dreams
Circles within circles
The universe is an infinity of circles
Compounded and spinning
Expanding into spheres
Expanding into aeons
Spiraling forever towards unknown epochs
Unsevered aeons of eternal return
From womb to tomb
As the serpent swallows it's tail
Venom of Orobouros
Dripping into my eyes
blinding me from the world of waking
Calling unto eternal slumber
Opening of the void withing blindness of without
Twisting and writhing
Shedding scales of black and gold
Quaking and trembling
The shattering of midgard
Coiled upon the trees of life and death
Ophion: Awaken!
Serpent of the world embrace me
For I am the caduceus
Redeemer and destroyer
The balance of light and shadow
Shatterer of sigils
Breaker of chains
Father of titans
Sleeping around Olympus
Thou whos't consumes thyself
Again and again
Ever growing
Ever changing
Grant me the vision to change
Grant me the vision to grow
Grant me the venom to slay
All that would obstruct the way
Ophion
Ophian
Ophioneus
Great serpent
Recoil once more
Around the world
