Vitriol
The Philosopher’s Stone of stumbling
Evokes enthralling quests
Through deserts of delirium
And faceless whirlpools of demise.
Visiting the interior of the Earth and rectifying
You will find the secret stone,
Shedding the burden of Life as snakes their skin.
The holder of it kindles the Flame of Old,
Born to take over the world,
For pitiable are the snakes devoid of venom.
Leprous is the One falling into the gulf of obedience,
Blessed, the audacious.
The shades of cruelty manifest.
The Flame of the Foundation is kindled.
Do what thou wilt – Death awaits ahead,
All paths are free – go forth!
Rise from the ashes, leave the depths,
Break down the illusion chaining the world.
Gaze in the sky revolting,
Seized by fury and obscuration.
Shiver from forgotten songs
Of nymphs of eternal Emptiness.

The Alembic
There is no escape. Accept or rebel?
– These are but throes. All is decaying.
Life seeks the Chance.
Step beyond limits – to the Edge
Where the path is lost.
Behold the Abyss – temptation and dread.
Leap!
The Fall is unbearable.
You yearn to be broken into pieces.
Farewell, Salvation and Joy of the World.
The nightmare shall stop the deceit.
– Fill yourself!
Inexistence is the refuge.
You are not you, forevermore,
But the Reflection and the Negation.
The Initiation.
The Core has been separated
And rectified in the Alembic.
The Spirit has risen, the Shadow is gone.
All is equal.
Open your eyes – there is Night in the East.
Open your mouth – the poison is tempting. Remember!
From above – conversely – the whirling of plans.
Mind is Absurd. Blood is Spirit. Life is Death.
Separate the Light from the Darkness.
Rectify the Essence from the Taint.
Fly, flow, and flare.
The vessel of transformations is the Alembic.
Sublimate and coagulate.

Ithyphallus
O Ithyphallus, striving to the High from the Depths,
All ways are open, broken are the limits.
The Giant is coming from within to the outside,
Exalted, naked, and daring.
The Unicorn, wicked and saint,
The Ecstasy from the Lust for Flesh,
The dancing and defiant God,
The transcending Drug.
The Explosion of an insane Volcano
That glistens as a Dew upon a Red Rose,
The Rapist in the deadly Cleft
Of spiritual Overdose.
Pass through the Gates of Deaths,
Fill the cup with the Elixir,
With your Lust turn the Devils
Into laughing Satyrs.
A Pillar among the Waters,
A Father, slain by Son, then resurrected,
Azoth, in fountains streaming –
Unknown, merciless, strange.
Pass through the Gates of Lives,
Wave the Wand and create a Stir,
Initiate thy Wife
Into ecstatic Fear.
O Ithyphallus, rise to the Heavens
In all your Beauty of burning Nature,
Incinerate the Poles of the Earth
In the Perfection of Endura.
O Ithyphallus, Omphalos, Diaol,
O Lion-Serpent, Saviour and Killer,
Bite the Flesh, o Holy Stake,
The reality-piercing Hand.

Nigredo
All tongues of obscuration
Are vested in clarity.
A word is a child of delusion,
A voice is the herald of fatality.
The meridians of creatures
Are the tale made of dirt and clay.
Bizarre creations
Are the dream of vagina immaculate.
The gait of hungry facelessnesses,
Meaningless wanderings –
Omni-vacuity of contents is
Intrinsic to the realm of husks.
Symbols of stillbirths,
Yells of labourers –
Prisoners of bodily movements
And iniquity of the Night.
The irreversibility of Doubt
About the primordial lethality –
The wrathful outburst overthrowing
The footings of Reality.
The hold of depths of dissolution,
Waves of tearing elements,
In the Flame of Resistance
Is the ultimate Catharsis.
The cradle of spirits of rot
In the mire of vicious doom –
Death is the river of cleansing
Of frail bogs of Ultimatum.

Albedo
The Path to the rising Sun
Is the thorns of decaying Psyche.
The madman’s Self-destructivity
Is his Joy and Delight.
The Power of Yearning for Otherness
Is the caress of glow of Death.
Clear vision of the dying
Is the Magick of whirling.
Roaring Laughter of the gaping Abyss,
The Glance of dazzling Steel –
The Athame is burning the Heart
With colours of Vermillion.
The Act of Dissolution of mud
Is in the Prima Materia of the Essence.
The Method is joint Executions
Of Salt, Sulphur, and Mercury.
Intention, Death, Dissolution
To the initial Flesh of Transformation.
The Limit, the Outrage, the Shock,
The Birth of the Manifestation.
The Arch of the Sky-dome,
The Wings of heavy Ordeals,
The daring Revolt of Transition,
The Light of benign Halos.
The singing of dreadful Silences,
The loops of disjointed Weaves.
The fiery heat of Ordeals
Of the Banner of Transfiguration.
Eternity is the Vessel of Iniquities,
The Trueness of Existences.
The Path of Purification is
The killing of the Hopeness.
The Pain is the Catechism of the Gap,
The Shadow of approaching Distance.
The bright signs of the Breakthrough
Are the Scars of subtle Battles.

Crossing the Abyss
Raised is the Whip of Blame,
Unsheathed is the Dagger of Expulsion,
The strike of the Wand of Assertion,
The Cup of Eternal Silence.
Before you is the Precipice,
Behind you is the Source,
On your right hand, NOX,
On your left hand, LVX.
Below you, the Ashes,
Above you, the Spirit,
And you – in the center, NIHIL.
Everything is one last time,
There is No Way back.
The poison is taken,
Your Victim is You.
ADONAI – ABADDON.
Axis Mundi –
The Pit of Blackness.
INRI shall wring you
And burn from within.
The similarities shall merge,
The extremes shall converge.
Nothing shall change,
Nothing shall be left.
ON – IA – BO – MABN – JAHBULON – ABADDON
INRI – THELEMA – AGAPE – THERION – BABALON – IAO
BAPHOMET – TER UAT SHA ARK – AUMGN.
You are nowhere, everywhere, and all over,
Never, forever, and in everything.
There is no you, never has been, and shall not be,
Do not pity anything.
As a protuberant flash
Arise and explode.
The Abyss has no limit,
The Abyss is You.

Otium Magnum
Fly to the stars
With the speed of Light.
Split the Abyss
Astride your Shadow.
Death the infinitely
Multiple times –
Is the limit of Horizons.
Yet there is no Salvation in ambitions.
There is no You –
There is no Attainment.
Only the Abyss
Is gaping, opalescent.
Denying everything,
You arrive at Nothing.
There are no differences
At nothing’s Edge.
Leave your Consciousness,
Let yourself off.
The Great Rest
For the Great Work.
Opus Magnum,
Otium Magnum.
