“And on today’s episode of Dust Queen….”
What started innocently enough, this ritual ended up lasting four hours – and it’s still not entirely finished.
Watchful eyes gaze skyward,
As the cosmos unravel –
In forgotten threads of semblance,
And the Eyes spoke:
“How do things become?
I am following.”
Glimpses of undulating gravity
Morose and magnetic –
The sky a shape of lightened arch
Arrowing lawful with the fragmented
Oblivion
Juxtaposed with time –
Things move elliptically
Around the black mass
That devours –
Void of light
But not consciousness
This is the Door –
Agape and terrifying
This is the Womb of Synthesis
That feeds on the recesses
Of a billion worlds
And forged thusly
The new
We are atomic –
In comparison to the state in which all is gaseous,
Swirling in the tunnels of converging
Vortices
The Eyes might see themselves there.
The Control Sigil –
Bull’s Ring – Used to control the another – often someone who is otherwise uncontrollable or dangerous. As such, it could also be used to keep yourself under control. For the latter, it would most probably be best worn, and for the former, given to he/she you wish to effect.
Birth of Chaos – can be used as a remedy or an invitation for Chaos as it gives mastery to that which cannot be mastered. Can be used in hexes to rain down chaos and ill-fate, or can be used in an inverted position to be used for focus and attainment.
The Trident Heart – Is used to command the heart (be it your own or that of another). For the latter, I recommend this ritual:
- Place atop the sigil a drop or two of your blood, as well as a personal affect of he/she you wish to control. Roll/fold the sigil around the affect, in essence surrounding them with yourself. Burn.
- Mix half of the ashes with The Conquered Heart Oil** (or something similar). Using the mixture, dress a (black and red) half-stick candle – if need be, carve the “bottom” into a burnable point as well. Burn the candle, black side first – until 1/3 to ½ of the black has melted. Extinguish, invert and light the red side. Allow it to burn until the red has overtaken the black.
- Powder the remaining candle and add to this the last half of the ashes. Sprinkle on the victim’s property or on a path they will cross.
** The Conquered Heart Oil: 1 : 4, Castor to Carrier. Warm. 1-3 Red Roses, 1-3 Iron Nails, Cinnamon, Ginger, Orris Root, Sulfur, 3 dried, Red Chiles. Warm oil, add dry ingredients – with the exception of sulfur. Add this, instead, to the bottle. Pluck the Rose Petals from the stem(s) and impale them on the iron nail(s) – add curio(s) to the bottle with the sulfur. While the oil is still warm, pour into the bottle.
The Lords of Day and Night –
The Hawk – Master of the Sun, Lord of the Day – is a swift and regal predator. Proud of its prowess, it recognizes its strength, but implements it with violent precision. It is graceful, tactful, and merciful in its tactile ferocity that might quickly slay its chosen pray.
The Owl – Hunter by Moonlight, Lord of the Night – sees what is Unseen, perched and singing mournful songs. Like her brother, she is swift, direct and devastating to all who might make a delicious meal. She does not bathe proudly in the Sun to be admired, she hunts through black forests and scans the white-washed horizon. She is quiet, humble and deadly.
Currently driving through the swamp with the full moon at my tail, aimed at the Dawn Star while Me & the Devil plays and the smell of sulphur hangs thick.
Some times life can’t get any sweeter.
