LE MESSE NOIR

THE ORIGINAL PSYCHODRAMA

The Black Mass is a valid Satanic ceremony only if one

feels the need to perform it Historically, there is no ritual
more closely linked with Satanism than the Black Mass. It
has long been considered the principal elective of Satanists, who
were assumed never to tire of trampling on crosses and of
stealing unbaptized infants. If a Satanist had nothing else to
do, and was independently wealthy, newer and more blasphem-
ous versions of the Messe Noir would be invented in order to
nourish his jaded existence, the theory went. Though a titillating
concept to many, it is without validity, and as devoid of logic
as the assumption that Christians celebrate Good Friday every
Wednesday afternoon.
Although the Black Mass is a ritual that has been per-
formed countless times, the participants often were not Satan-
ists, but would act solely on the idea that anything contra-
dictory to God must be of the Devil. During the Inquisition,
anyone who doubted the sovereignty of God and Christ was
summarily considered a servant of Satan and suffered accord-
ingly. The Inquisitors, needing an enemy, found one in the
guise of witches who supposedly were subject to Satanic con-
trol Witches were created in wholesale lots by the church
from the ranks of the senile, sexually promiscuous, feeble-
minded, deformed, hysterical, and anyone who happened to be
of non-Christian thought or background. There was only a
minute percentage of actual healers and oracles. They were like-
wise persecuted.
There have been recent attempts to assess great numbers of
"witches" of antiquity as rebels against the Christian Church
who held Dianic "esbats" with furtive regularity. This presents
a charming picture. But it is folly, because it bestows a degree
of intellectual sophistication on people who were essentially
ignorant, and who were willing to go along with whatever form
of worship the opinion makers gave them.
At any rate, during the period when accounts of the Black
Mass were employed as propaganda against "heretical" sects
and orders, few cared about the finer points differentiating the
witch from the Satanist. Both were as one in the eyes of the
Inquisitors, although it is safe to say that unlike the majority
who bore the label of witch, those who conducted themselves
"Satanically" often earned their stigma. This is not meant to
condone the actions of the Inquisitors against such freethinkers
and rebels, but to concede that they were a very real threat to
the holy fathers. Such men as Galileo and da Vinci, accused
of traffic with the Devil, most certainly were Satanic in the
sense that they expressed ideas and theories destined to break
down the status quo.
The supposed high point of the Black Mass, alleged to
be the offering to Satan of an unbaptized human child, was
not quite the way the collectors of baptism fees gloatingly
told it.
Catherine Deshayes, known as LaVoisin, was a seven-
teenth century French businesswoman who peddled drugs and
performed abortions. LaVoisin arranged "rituals, charms and
spells" for her clients, all of whom wished to retain the safety
of the Church, but whose ineffectual prayers drove them to seek
darker magic. This sort of desperate miracle seeking is as preva-
lent today as it was then. In the performance of one of her
more popular productions, a clandestine, highly commercial
inversion of the Catholic mass, LaVoisin provided "authen-
ticity" by actually engaging willing Catholic priests as celebrants
and sometimes using an aborted fetus as a human sacrifice
(Records indicate that she performed over two hundred
abortions.)
The priests who supposedly celebrated the Black Mass for
her supplied the holy propagandists with more material. If or-
dained priests were occasionally prone to take part in heretical
rites, it is understandable when one considers the social condi-
tions at the time. For centuries in France many men became
priests because they were from upper class families and the
priesthood was de rigeur for at least one son of cultured or
well-to-do parents. The first son became a military officer or
politician, and the second was sent off to a religious order. So
controversial was this arrangement that it produced a catch
phrase: "Le rouge et noir."
 If one of the young men happened to be of intellectual
bent, which was often the case, the priesthood provided virtu-
ally the only access to libraries and avenues of higher learning.
It was to be expected that the Hermetic principle of "as above,
so below" and vice versa would apply to gifted and intelligent
individuals. An inquiring, well-developed mind could often be
dangerously skeptical and subsequently irreverent! Thus there
was always a supply of "depraved" priests ready and willing
to celebrate Satanic rites.
History has, in fact, produced entire sects and monastic
orders that fell into humanistic and iconoclastic fever. Think
about it; you personally may have known of a priest or minis-
ter who wasn't quite what he should have been ... ! Today, of
course, in Christianity's death throes, anything goes in the
clergy, and priests once tortured and executed for "vile here-
sies" (Urban Grandier, for example) would seem like Boy
Scouts by current standards of pastoral conduct. The seven-
teenth century priests who celebrated the Black Mass need not
have been intrinsically evil: heretical, most certainly; perverse,
definitely; but harmfully evil, probably not.
The exploits of LaVoisin, which have been recounted in
such a sensational manner, if simplified reveal her as a beau-
tician, midwife, lady pharmacist, abortionist, who had a flair for
theatrics. Nevertheless, LaVoisin gave the Church what it
needed: a real honest-to-Satan Black Mass. She provided much
substance for their anti-heretic propaganda machine. LaVoisin
put the Black Mass on the map, so to speak, and so succeeded
in working some very real magic-magic far more potent than
the spells she concocted for her clients. She gave people an idea.
Those who leaned to the ideas expressed by LaVoisin's
rites needed little encouragement to attempt to duplicate the
rites. For those persons the Black Mass provided a setting for
various degrees of perversity, ranging from harmless and/or
productive psychodrama to actual heinous acts that would sub-
stantiate the chroniclers' wildest fantasies. Depending on in-
dividual predilection, those who received inspiration from the
likes of LaVoisin could either effect a therapeutically valid
form of rebellion, or fill the ranks of the "Christian Satanists"
-miscreants who adopt Christian standards of Satanism. One
fact is irrefutable: for every unborn baby offered up "in the
name of Satan" during LaVoisin's clandestine playlets, count-
less thousands of living babies and small children have been
slaughtered in wars fought in the name of Christ.
 The Black Mass which follows is the version performed
by the Societe des Luciferiens in late nineteenth and early twen-
tieth century France. Obviously taken from prior Messes Noir,
it also derives from the texts of die Holy Bible, the Missale
Romanum, the work of Charles Baudelaire and Charles Marie-
George Huysmans, and the records of Georges Legue. It is the
most consistently Satanic version this author has encountered.
While it maintains the degree of blasphemy necessary to make
it effective psychodrama, it does not dwell on inversion purely
for the sake of blasphemy, but elevates the concepts of Satan-
ism to a noble and rational degree. This ritual is a psychodrama
in the truest sense. Its prime purpose is to reduce or negate
stigma acquired through past indoctrination. It is also a vehicle
for retaliation against unjust acts perpetrated in the name of
Christianity.
Perhaps the most potent sentence in the entire mass fol-
lows the desecration of the Host: "Vanish into the void of thy
empty Heaven, for thou wert never, nor shall thou ever be."
The possibility that Christ was a total invention has occurred to
investigators with increasing frequency. Many once existing
social ramifications might have made this feasible. Perhaps the
recent last ditch "Christ, the man" stand is an attempt to sus-
tain a dying myth through use of a single reinforcing ele-
ment-one with which all can identify-that shows him a
fallible human being!

Requirements for Performance

Participants consist of a priest (celebrant), his immediate

assistant (deacon), a secondary assistant (subdeacon), a nun,
an altar, an illuminator who holds a lighted candle where
needed for reading, a thurifer, a gong-striker, an additional
attendant and the congregation.
Hooded black robes are worn by all participants except
two: a woman dressed as a nun, wearing the customary habit
and wimple, and the woman who serves as the altar, who fa
nude. The priest conducting the mass is known as the cele-
brant. Over his robe he wears a chasuble bearing a symbol of
Satanism-the Sigil of Baphomet, inverted pentagram, in-
verted cross, symbol of brimstone or black pine cones. Though
some versions of the Black Mass were performed in vestments
consecrated by the Roman Catholic Church, records indicate that
such garments were the exception rather than the rule. The
authenticity of a consecrated host seems to have been far more
important.
The woman who serves as the altar lies on the platform
with her body at right angles to its length, her knees at its
edge and widely parted. A pillow supports her head. Her arms
are outstretched crosswise and each hand grasps a candleholder
containing a black candle. When the celebrant is at the altar,
he stands between the woman's knees.
The wall over the altar should bear the Sigil of Baphomet
or an inverted cross. If both are employed, the Sigil of Bapho-
met must take the uppermost or prominent position, the cross
occupying the space between the lower halves of the altar's legs.
The chamber should either be draped in black or in some
way approximate the atmosphere of a medieval or gothic chapel.
Emphasis should be placed on starkness and austerity, rather
than finery and glitter.
All implements standard to Satanic ritual are employed:
bell, chalice, phallus, sword, gong, etc. (see Satanic Bible for
descriptions and use). In addition a chamber pot, thurible (cen-
ser) and incense boat are used.
The chalice containing wine or liquor is placed between
the altar's thighs, and on it is a paten holding a round wafer
of turnip or of coarse black bread. The chalice and paten
should be shrouded with a square black veil, preferably of the
same fabric as the celebrant's chasuble. Immediately in front
of the chalice is placed an aspergeant or phallus.
The ritual book is placed on a small stand or pillow so
that to is on the celebrant's right when he faces the altar. The
illuminator stands at the side of the altar near the ritual book.
Opposite him, on the other side of the altar, stands the thuri-
fer with a thurible that holds ignited charcoal. Next to him
stands the attendant holding the boat of incense.
Music should be liturgical in mood, preferably played on
the organ. The works of Bach, de Grigny, Scarlatti, Palestrina,
Couperin, Marchand, Clerambault, Buxtehude and Franck are
most appropriate.

LE MESSE NOIR
[When all are assembled the gong is sounded and the
celebrant, with the deacon and subdeacon preceding him,
enters and approaches the altar. They halt somewhat short
of the altar, the deacon placing himself at the cele-
brant's left, the subdeacon at his right. The three make a
profound bow before the altar and commence the ritual
with the following verses and responses.}

CELEBRANT:
In nomine Magni Dei Nostri Satanas. Introibo ad altare
Domini Inferi.

DEACON AND SUBDEACON:

Ad eum qui laefificat meum.

CELEBRANT:
Adjutorium nostrum in nomine Domini Inferi.

DEACON AND SUBDEACON:

Qui regit terram.

CELEBRANT:
Before the mighty and ineffable Prince of Darkness, and in the
presence of akl the dread demons of the Pit, and this assembled
company, I acknowledge and confess my past error.
Renouncing all past allegiances, I proclaim that Satan-Lucifer
rules the earth, and I ratify and renew my promise to recognize
and honor Him in all things, without reservation, desiring in
return His manifold assistance in the successful completion
of my endeavors and the fulfillment of my desires.
I call upon you, my Brother, to bear witness and to do like-
wise.

DEACON AND SUBDEACON:

Before the mighty and ineffable Prince of Darkness, and
in the presence of all the dread demons of the Pit, and this
assembled company, we acknowledge and confess our past error.
Renouncing all past allegiances, we proclaim that Satan-Lucifer
rules the earth, and we ratify and renew our promise to recog-
nize and honor Him in all things, without reservation, desiring
in return His manifold assistance in the successful completion
of our endeavors and the fulfillment of our desires.
We call upon you, His liege-man and priest, to receive this
pledge in His name.

CELEBRANT:
Domine Satanas, tu conversus vivificabis nos.

DEACON AND SUBDEACON:

Et plebs tua laetabitur in te.

CELEBRANT:
Ostende nobis, Domine Satanas, potentiam tuam.

DEACON AND SUBDEACON:

Et beneficium tuum da nobis.

CELEBRANT:
Domine Satanas, exaudi meam.

DEACON AND SUBDEACON:

Et clamor meus ad te veniat.

CELEBRANT:
Dominus Inferus vobiscum.

DEACON AND SUBDEACON:

Et cum tuo.

CELEBRANT:
Gloria Deo, Domino Inferi, et in terra vita hominibus forti-
bus. Laudamus te, benedicimus te, adoramus te, glorificamus
te, gratias agimus tibi propter magnam potentiam tuam:
Domine Satanas, Rex Inferus, Imperator omnipotens.

Offertory

[The chalice and paten, on which rests the wafer of turnip

or coarse black bread, are uncovered by the celebrant. He
takes the paten into both hands, and raises it to about
breast level in an attitude of offering, and recites the
offertory words.]

CELEBRANT:
Suscipe, Domine Satanas, hanc hostiam, quam ego dignus
famulus tuus offero tibi, Deo meo vivo et vero, pro omnibus
circumstantibus, sed et pro omnibus fidelibus famulis tuis: ut
mihi et illis proficiat ad felicitatem in hanc vitam. Amen.

[Replacing the paten and wafer, and taking the chalice into
his hands, he raises it in like manner, reciting:]

CELEBRANT:
Offerimus tibi, Domine Satanas, calicem voluptatis carnis, ut
in conspectu majestatis tuae, pro nostra utilitate et felicitate,
placeat tibi. Amen.

[He replaces the chalice upon the altar and then, with
hands extended, palms downward, recites the following:]

CELEBRANT:
Come, O Mighty Lord of Darkness, and look favorably on this
sacrifice which we have prepared in thy name.

[The thurible and incense boat are then brought forward

and the celebrant thrice sprinkles incense upon the burning
coals while reciting the following:]

CELEBRANT:
Incensum istud ascendat ad te, Domine Inferus, et descendat
super nos beneficium tuum.

[The celebrant then takes the thurible and proceeds to

incense the altar and the gifts. First he incenses the chalice
and wafer with three counterclockwise strokes, after which
he makes a profound bow. Then he raises the thurible three
times to the Baphomet (or to the inverted cross), and
bows again. Then, assisted by the deacon and subdeacon,
he incenses the top of the altar, then the sides of the plat-
form, if possible by circumambulation. The thurible is
returned to the thurifer.]

CELEBRANT:
Dominus Inferus vobiscum.

DEACON AND SUBDEACON:

Et cum tuo.
CELEBRANT:
Sursum corda.

DEACON AND SUBDEACON:

Habemus ad Dominum Inferum.

CELEBRANT:
Gratias agamus Domino Infero Deo nostro.

DEACON AND SUBDEACON:

Dignum et justum est.

[The celebrant then raises his arms, palms downward, and

says the following:]

CELEBRANT:
Vere clignum et justum est, nos tibi semper et ubique gratias
agere: Domine, Rex Inferus, Imerator Mundi. Omnes exercitus
inferi te laudant cum quibus et nostras voces ut admitti jubeas
deprecamur, dicentes:

[celebrant bows and says:]

Salve! Salve! Salve!

[gong is struck thrice]

Dominus Satanas Deus Potentiae. Pleni sunt terra et inferi

gloria. Hosanna in excelsis.

The Canon

CELEBRANT:
Therefore, O mighty and terrible Lord of Darkness, we en-
treat You that You receive and accept this sacrifice, which we
offer to You on behalf of this assembled company, upon whom
You have set Your mark, that You may make us prosper in
fullness and length of life, under Thy protection, and may
cause to go forth at our bidding Thy dreadful minions, for
the fulfillment of our desires and the destruction of our ene-
mies. In concert this night we ask Thy unfailing assistance in
this particular need. (Here is mentioned the special purpose
for which the mass is offered).
In the unity of unholy fellowship we praise and honor first
Thee, Lucifer, Morning Star, and Beelzebub, Lord of Regen-
eration; then Belial, Prince of the Earth and Angel of Destruc-
tion; Leviathan, Beast of Revelation; Abaddon, Angel of the
Bottomless Pit; and Asmodeus, Demon of Lust. We call upon
the mighty names of Astaroth, Nergal and Behemoth, of Bel-
phegor, Adramelech, and Baalberith, and of all the name-
less and formless ones, the mighty and innumerable hosts of
Hell, by whose assistance may we be strengthened in mind,
body and will.

[The celebrant then extends his hands, palms downward,

over the offerings on the altar and recites the following:]

[The gong is sounded]

CELEBRANT:
Hanc igitur oblationem servitutis nostrae sed et cunctae familiae
tuae, quaesumus, Domine Satanas, ut placatus accipias; diesque
nostros in felicitate disponas, et in electorum tuorum jubeas
grege numerari. Shemhamforash!

CONGREGATION:
Shemhamforash!

CELEBRANT:
Enlightened Brother, we ask a blessing.

[The subdeacon brings forth the chamber pot and presents

it to the nun, who has come forward. The nun lifts her
habit and urinates into the font. As she passes water, the
deacon addresses the congregation:]

DEACON:
She maketh the font resound with the tears of her mortification.
The waters of her shame become a shower of blessing in the
tabernacle of Satan, for that which hath been withheld pourest
forth, and with it, her piety. The great Baphomet, who is in
the midst of the throne, shall sustain her, for she is a living
fountain of water.
[As the nun completes her urination, the deacon con-
tinues:]

DEACON:
And the Dark Lord shall wipe all tears from her eyes, for He
said unto me: It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the begin-
ning and the end. I will give freely unto him that is athirst
of the fountain of the water of life.

[The subdeacon removes the font from the nun and holds
it before the deacon, who dips the aspergeant into the fluid.
Then, holding the aspergeant against his own genitals, the
deacon turns to each of the cardinal compass points, shak-
ing the aspergeant twice at each point, and says:]

DEACON:
(facing south) In the name of Satan, we bless thee with this,
the symbol of the rod of life.
(facing east) In the name of Satan, we bless thee with this,
the symbol of the rod of life.
(facing north) In the name of Satan, we bless thee with this,
the symbol of the rod of life.
(facing west) In the name of Satan, we bless thee with this,
the symbol of the rod of life.

The Consecration

[The celebrant takes the wafer into his hands and, bending
low over it, whispers the following words into it:]

CELEBRANT:
Hoc est corpus Jesu Christi.

[He raises the wafer, placing it between the exposed breasts

of the altar, and then touching it to the vaginal area. The
gong is struck. He replaces the wafer on the paten which
rests on the altar platform. Taking the chalice into his
hands, he bends low over it, as with the wafer, and whispers
the following words into it:]

CELBBRANT:
Hic est caliz voluptatis carnis.
[He then raises the chalice above his head, for all to see.
The gong is struck, and the thurifer may incense it with
three swings of the thurible. The chalice is then replaced,
and the following is recited:]

CELEBRANT:
To us, Thy faithful children, O Infernal Lord, who glory in
our iniquity and trust in Your boundless power and might,
grant that we may be numbered among Thy chosen. It is ever
through You that all gifts come to us; knowledge, power and
wealth are Yours to bestow. Renouncing the spiritual paradise
of the weak and lowly, we place our trust in Thee, the God of
the Flesh, looking to the satisfaction of all our desires, and
petitioning all fulfillment in the land of the living.

DEACON AND SUBDEACON:

Shemhamforash!

CELEBRANT:
Prompted by the precepts of the earth and the inclinations of the
flesh, we make bold to say:
Our Father which art in Hell, hallowed be Thy name.
Thy kingdom is come, Thy will is done; on earth as it is in
Hell!
We take this night our rightful due, and trespass not on
paths of pain.
Lead us unto temptation, and deliver us from false piety, for
Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever!

DEACON AND SUBDEACON:

And let reason rule the earth.

CELEBRANT:
Deliver us, O Mighty Satan, from all past error and delusion,
that, having set our foot upon the Path of Darkness and
vowed ourselves to Thy service, we may not weaken in our re-
solve, but with Thy assistance, grow in wisdom and strength.

DEACON AND SUBDEACON:

Shemhamforash!

[Celebrant recites the Fifth Enochian Key from The Sa-

tanic Bible.]
 The Repudiation and Denunciation

[The celebrant takes the wafer into his hands, extends it

before him, and turns to face the assembled company,
saying the following:]

CELEBRANT:
Ecce corpus Jesu Christi, Dominus Humilim et Rex Servorum.

[The celebrant raises the wafer to the Baphomet. He con-

tinues in great anger ... ]

CELEBRANT:
Et toi, toi, qu'en ma qualité de prêtre, je
force, que tu le veuilles ou non, à descendre
dans cette hostie, à t'incarner dans ce pain,
Jésus, artisan de supercheries, larron
d'hommages, voleur d'affection, écoute!
Depuis le jour où tu sortis des entrailles
ambassadrices d'une Vierge, tu as f ailli à
tes engagements, menti a tes promesses;
des siècles ont sangloté, en t'attendant, Dieu
fuyard, Dieu muer! Tu devais rédimer les
hommes et tu n'as rien racheté; tu devais
apparaitre dans ta gloire et tu t'endors! Va,
mens, dis au misérable qui t'appelle:
"Espère, patiente, souffre, 1'hôpital des
âmes te recevra, les anges t'assisteront,
le Ciél s'ouvre"-Imposteur! tu sais bien
que les anges dégoûtés de ton inertie
s éloignent!-Tu devais être le Truchement
de nos plaintes, le Chambellan de nos pleurs,
tu devais les introduire près du Père et tu ne
1'as point fait, parce que sans doute cette
intercession dérangeait ton sommeil
d'Eternité béate et repue!

Tu as oublié cette pauvreté que tu prêchais,

vassal énamouré des banques! Tu as vu
sous le pressoir de 1'agio broyer les faibles,
tu as entendu les râles des timides perclus par
les famines, des fernmes éventrées pour un peu
de pain et tu as fait répondre par la Chancellerie
de tes Simoniaques, par tes représentants de
commerce, par tes Papes, des excuses
dilatoires, des promesses évasives, Basochien
de sacristie, Dieu d'affaires!

Monstre, dont 1'inconcevable férocité engendra

la vie et 1'infliegea à des innocents que tu
oses concamner, au nom d'on ne sail quel
péché originel, que tu oses punir, en vertu
d'on ne sait quelles clauses, nous voudrions
pourtant bien te faire avouer enfin tes impu-
dents mensonges, tes inexpiables crimes!
Nous voudrions taper sur tes clous,
appuyer sur tes épines, ramener le sang
douloreux au bord de tes plaies séches!

Et cela, nous le pouvons et nous allons le

faire, en violant la quiétude de ton Corps,
profanateur des amples vices, abstracteur
des puretés stupides, Nazaréen maudit,
roi fainéant, Dieu lâche!

Vois, grand Satan, ce symbole de la chair

de celui qui voulait purger la Terre de
plaisir et qui, au nom de la "Justice"
chrétienne, a causé la mort de millions
de nos frères honorés. Nous plaçons sur
toi notre malédiction et nous salissons ton
nom.

O Majesté Infernale, condamne-le à 1'Abîme,

pour qu'il souffre éternellement une angoisse
infinie. Frappe-le de ta colère, ô Prince
des Ténêbres, et brise-le pour qu'il con-
naisse 1'etendue de ta colère. Appelle tes
Légions, pour qu'elles observent ce que
nous faisons en Ton Nom. Envoie tes
messagers pour proclamer cette action, et
fais fuir les sbires chrétiens, titubant vets
leur perdition. Frappe-les à nouveau, ô
Seigneur de Lumière, pour faire trembler
d'horreur ses Anges, ses Chérubins et ses
Séraphins, qui se prosterneront devant toi
et respecteront ton Pouvoir. Fais que
s'écroulent les portes du Paradis, pour
venger le meurtre de nos ancêtres!

Thou, thou whom, in my capacity of Priest, I

force, whether thou wilt or no, to descend into
this host, to incarnate thyself into this bread,
Jesus, artisan of hoaxes, bandit of homages,
robber of affection-hear! Since the day when
thou didst issue from the complaisant bowels
of a false virgin, thou hast failed all thy
engagements, belied all thy promises. Cen-
turies have wept awaiting thee, fugitive god,
mute god! Thou wast to redeem man and thou
hast not; thou wast to appear in thy glory, and
thou steepest. Go, lie, say to the wretch who ap-
peals to thee, "Hope, be patient, suffer; the
hospital of souls will receive thee; angels will succour thee;
Heaven opens to thee." Imposter! Thou knowest
well that the Angels, disgusted at thy inertness,
abandon thee! Thou wast to be the interpreter
of our plaints, the chamberlain of our tears;
thou was to convey them to the cosmos and
thou hast not done so, for this intercession
would disturb thy eternal sleep of happy satiety.

Thou has forgotten the poverty thou didst

preach, vassal enamoured of banquets! Thou
hast seen the weak crushed beneath the press of
profit while standing by and preaching servility!
Oh, the hypocrisy!

That man should accept such woe unto himself is

testimony to his blindness-that very affliction
thou didst credit thyself to cure. O lasting foulness
of Bethlehem, we would have thee confess thy im-
pudent cheats, thy inexpiable crimes! We would
drive deeper the nails into thy hands, press down
the crown of thorns upon thy brow, and bring
blood from the dry wounds of thy sides.
And this we can and will do by violating the
quietude of thy body, profaner of the ample
vices, abstractor of stupid purities, cursed
Nazarene, impotent king, fugitive god!
Behold, great Satan, this symbol of the flesh
of him who would purge the Earth of pleasure
and who, in the name of Christian "justice" has
caused the death of millions of our honored
Brothers. We curse him and defile his name.

O Infernal Majesty, condemn him to the Pit,

evermore to suffer in perpetual anguish. Bring
Thy wrath upon him, O Prince of Darkness, and
rend him that he may know the extent of Thy anger.
Call forth Thy legions that they may witness what
we do in Thy name. Send forth thy messengers
to proclaim this deed, and send the Christian
minions staggering to their doom. Smite him
anew, O Lord of Light, that his angels, cherubim,
and seraphim may cower and tremble with fear,
prostrating themselves before Thee in respect
of Thy power. Send crashing down the gates of
Heaven, that the murders of our ancestors
may be avenged!

[The celebrant inserts the wafer into the vagina of the altar,
removes it, holds it aloft to the Baphomet and says]

CELEBRANT:
Disparais dans le Néant, toi le sot parmi
les sots, toi le vil et détesté, prétendant
à la majesté de Satan! Disparais dans le
Néant du del vide, car tu n'as jamais
existé, et tu n'ezisteras jamais.

Vanish into nothingness, thou fool of fools,

thou vile and abhorred pretender to the
majesty of Satan! Vanish into the void of thy
empty Heaven, for thou wert never, not
shalt thou ever be.

[The celebrant then raises the wafer and dashes it to the

floor, where it is trampled by himself and the deacon and
subdeacon, while the gong is struck continually. The cele-
brant then takes the chalice into his hands, faces the altar,
and before drinking recites the following:]

CELEBRANT:
Calicem voluptatis carnis accipiam, et nomen Domini Inferi
invocabo.

[He drinks from the chalice, then turns toward the assem-
bled company, the chalice extended before him. He presents
the chalice with the following words:]

CELEBRANT:
Ecce calix voluptatis carnis, qui laetitiam vitae donat.

[The celebrant then presents the cup to each of the

members of the assemblage, first to the deacon, followed
by the subdeacon, then the others in order of rank and/or
seniority in the Order. In administering the cup to each, he
uses the following words:]

CELEBRANT:
Accipe calicem voluptatis carnis in nomine Domini Inferi

[When all have drunk, the drained chalice is replaced on

the altar, the paten placed on top of it, and the veil placed
over both. The celebrant then extends his hands, palms
downward, and recites the concluding statement:]

CELEBRANT:
Placeat tibi, Domine Satanas, obsequium servitutis meae; et
praesta ut sacrificuum quod occulis tuae majestatis indignus
obtuli, tibi sit acceptabile, mihique et omnibus pro quibus illud
obtuli

[He then bows before the. altar and turns to give the
blessing of Satan to the assemblage, extending his left hand
in the Cornu (Sign of the Horns) and says:]

CELEBRANT:
Ego vos benedictio in nomine Magni Dei Nostri Satanas.
[All assembled company rise, face altar and raise arms in
the Cornu.]

CELEBRANT:
Ave, Satanas!

All:
Ave, Satanas!

CELEBRANT:
Let us depart; it is done.

DEACON AND SUBDEACON:

So it is done.

[The celebrant, deacon, and subdeacon bow toward the

altar, turn and depart. The candles are snuffed and all
leave the chamber.]
