Mistress Mary

Queen Maria Satanica || Mary of the Black Cathedral/Mass || “Bloody Mary”

Patroness of:  

Sin – most any traditional form of sin, though she’s particular
fond of the “unforgivable” ones, Strife, Discord, Necromancy/Nigromancy – and the
Dead and Damned, in general, the Dark Arts, Revenge, Sorcery, Divination, Domination
– of men, in particular, War – for it is she who is the Great, Marciless
Warrioress, Malediction, Sickness/Illness – mental illness and insanity are her
specialty, Cannibalism, Poison, Transformation/Shapeshifting, Sex – loves a
good orgy, Sacrifice, Entheogens and Poisons, Demons/Shades, Most any diabolic
works or motivations ;; She is power – the embodiment of primal, female energy –
and hellfire runs through her veins, flows through fingers, and burns behind
her eyes. She is Queen of Hell, Consort (and Mother) to the Devil (as Lucifer,
the Destroyer)
– the diabolic equal of Mother Mary, the Virgin: there must forever be balance.

Call upon her for works of: 

Power, Sexual Wiles, Temptation, Lust,
Dominion, Knowledge of all things Diabolical/Nigromantic/Malicious, Raising the
Dead, the Evocation/Invocation/Conjuration of Demons/Shades, any works call for
Lucifer, the Destroyer – their powers are strongest when combined, Curing (or
inflicting) Disease/Illness, Lessons in working Herbs, Roots, Poisons – as well
as Astral Projection and Trance work, though Possession will most assuredly be
required.

Symbols: 

The Slain Dove, Jimsonweed Flowers & the Devil’s Fork

Roads/Paths/Aspects:

  • Maria Satanica, Queen of Hell: the most powerful and volatile manifestation, it is she who
    Destroys, whose force and will is unmatched, she who hold the Fork of the
    Devil, and impales all those who dare cross her or her attendants. For works
    involving demons or shades of all types, it is she who presides above all.
  • Queen of the Dead: the aspect most knowledgeable in regards to necromancy, she who works in
    the Graveyard, with the Dead and the spirits, shades and demons therein. She is
    also the one most suited to heal or inflict illness – the one who imparts
    medicine and poison.
  • Queen of the Night: The most sexually charged and alluring aspect, that of the Whore – who
    is blatant in her indecency, who revels in her lechery – but she is also the
    most human and understanding of the aspects, the one who is forgiving, the one
    who does not judge, but offers comfort instead
  • Queen of the Crossroads: The Witch – the one who houses endless knowledge of the Black Arts –
    her justice is swift. It is she who keeps the recipes and rituals, who knows
    the arcane ways. She is the Sorceress, the Witch, the Priestess – she is the
    one who reads the bones and walks the planes, who takes the guise of any
    creature on which she has lain her eyes. It is she who keeps the sold souls,
    bartered at the Crossroads, forever bound to do her bidding.

Ideal locations for Worship and Workings: 

Always worked at Night; Crossroads – “X” and “T”, places
of Death, Disease and Despair – Battlefields, Hospitals, places of Massacre,
Murder, etc., Caves/Tunnels, Graveyards/Sepulchres/Mausoleums – especially Catholic
cemeteries which feature Mary statues at the foot of the crucified Jesus, Thick
Woodlands/Wetlands, Brothels, Crematoriums, Deserted Roads or Building –
especially desolate, nature-reclaimed Churches, any Subterranean place – including
basements/cellars.

Offerings, including but not limited to: 

Animals Sacrifices (or
blood of) – lamb/goat, black hen, dove*, snake; Poisonous flowers – Jimsonweed,
in particular, rotted/spoiled meat, bladed weapons – though tridents, lances
and spears are also accepted, hot-pepper infused rum, red wine mixed with vinegar,
thorny brambles or red roses, Sinner’s Dirt/Dirt of the Damned – the grave dust
from the grave a particularly nasty person (murderers, rapists, etc.), statues
of Mother Mary that have been defiled with blood, graveyard dirt and brimstone.

Takes black or red candles

“Prayer”:

“Maria Satanica – Queen of Hell:
Purveyor
of Damnation,
Consort
of The Devil,
Mistress
of the Diabolica;
She
who drove the spear –
Into
the Heart of God,
Who
lapped at the blood
Of
Christ – upon his Cross,
And
smiled;
 
Who
rules the infernal nethers,
And who
creeps – like the serpent –
Up
the spine and into the mind;
 
Mistress Mary – Queen of the Dead,
Harlot
of the Boneyard,
Who
digs a hand into the grave,
And
raises the bones of the Forgotten;

Mistress Mary – Queen of the Crossroads,
Who knows the ancients ways – 
Who barters yet – for stolen souls
And bestows to (wo)man,
Her mysteries,

Mistress Mary – Queen of Night,
Whose
kiss is that of poison,
Rise
from the depths – and settle,
Now,
upon the Mortal Plane;
 
The
flesh is yours,
The
blood is yours,
The
choice is yours.

Symbol(s):

Seal of Maria
Satanica – used to evoke her
presence; offerings should be left on the seal

Fork/Tridents of
Mistress Mary – used for invocations
when marked upon the body; can also be used to incorporate her energy into
works or as a way of solidifying the evocation of like-entities (i.e.  Lucifer, the Destroyer or some manifestations
of The Devil)

Attraction Oil

qedavathegrey:

Despite its diverse usage – in other formulas – my recipe is specialized toward what I most often use it for. Love. That isn’t to say that this recipe could not be used for other things (with some minor tweaks), it’s simply that I use attraction oil almost solely for matters of the heart – possibly because I believe the heart to bring that which is truly needed and not just wanted.

With that being said, this is my base recipe – which I then add specialization to, but it can be used fine as is – its “raw” form.

Combine:

  • (5 -10 petals) Dried, crushed Rose Petals (Red and Coral being my personal favorites)
  • (½ to 1 tsp.) True Cinnamon Powder (or a Ceylon Cinnamon Stick) 
  • (½ Tsp.) Anise Seed
  • (1 tsp) Rosemary (dried)
  • (1 tsp) Lavender (dried)
  • A pinch of Magnetic Sand
  • A few spritz of a heady perfume – I use Poême
  • Carrier Oil (of choice)
  • (¼ cup) Castor Oil
  • (Optional: Orange Blossom)

Combine carrier oil and castor oil in a small saucepan and warm over medium heat. Once warm, remove from heat and allow to sit for a few moments. Basically, so as to not deep fry the ingredients you”ll be adding!

Once cooled, but still too warm to touch – add in the dry ingredients except the magnetic sand (and the cinnamon stick, if you chose to use one). Add the sand (and stick) to the bottle in which you intend to store the oil – I prefer a dark bottle (amber or blue). After the oils and herbs have cooled to the point where they will not burn you if splashed, transfer it ALL to the bottle.

Do. Not. Strain.


Add in a few spritzes of perfume directly into the bottle, cover and shake thoroughly – then and before use.


Alternately, you could add your dry ingredients to the bottle and then pour the warm oil over it – but I prefer to see my oil before I bottle it.

WARNING: Perfumes are most often alcohol-based, making them a fire hazard. In all my years, I’ve never had a problem using this for anointing candles, but regardless – USE CAREFULLY.

Maria Satanica: Rise & Fall

In the time before time, the Messengers were forged –
Drawn like Athena from the mind of God – cast in shapely
light and energy,
The physical extension of word – of thought.
Unto each, a Word – a Name.
Between moment and millennia, the Progenitor swept a hand
across the sky
And from the nothingness, there was.
 
Sent from the Great Supernal Sea – on the 5th
day,
Ruled by gevurah –
were Legion,
Who swept about the fertile earth –
Some clung fastidiously to the sky, and others retired
To the depths of the great sea.
 
On the 6th day – forged was Woman,
Whose Soul was Called – rose up, wild from the Sea
And was confirmed to a body built of earth,
On the 6th day – forged was Man,
Whose Soul was Called – and Legion came to answer,
Vexed was God and so he spake,
And driven away – were they who sought
To usurp the form of Man – and so God forged
Anew – the Spirit of Adam;
 
Whilst Man was in the Garden – God said to She,
“Go unto them – in the form of Temptation,
And test their devotion to me,”
And she – without Will – obliged,
In the form of a Great Zu Bird,
She descended and perched thusly –
Upon the scaled head of a Serpent,
Whose long form coiled about the trunk,
Of the Great Forbidden Tree,
Called did she, who took the fruit into her beak:
“Adam – Man – come,
Eat of the Tree – for the fruit is heavy,
And thy stomach screams for sustenance.”
 
He came, then – but ate not of the boughs,
“I must not eat of that tree – it was Spoken
Unto me, by Our Creator.”
 
So spoke again – the Great Bird, compelling:
“But you are the God of this Garden – and for you
Whichever fruit you choose – even one forbidden.”
 
His fingers reached – at last – for the fruit:
 
Then came Woman – who looked to the Great Bird,
Eyes pointed – face twisted – and the Bird spoke unto her:
“What is wrong, Woman, will thoust eat from the tree?”
 
“Man,” she snapped, “Do not eat of the fruit, you have been
commanded.”
 
The Bird threw her wings out – and the Sun vanished,
In their shadow – there came a screech from her beak,
“I have seen what is to come, Woman.”
 
“Tell me then – what you have seen,” commanded Woman,
And the Great Bird shrieked – and offered unto Woman, her
wing,
“He will never obey you – for he is Man: willful and
foolish!”
She whispered, “And take will he – your flesh.”
 
Compelled by what the Bird had spoken – Truth;
Woman – Lilith – leapt upon the back of the beast,
And the pair flew thusly from the Garden;
 
When the Progenitor learned – of what had become of Lilith,
God condemned the Angel – the Great Bird – to walk:
Forever on the Earth, far from Him and the Kingdom of Heaven
As Mother of the Egrḗgoroi,
Queen of the Irin;

Protection of the Innocent

Best used as a charm or worn as an amulet, this sigil is meant to protect the innocent (specifically children, though it can also be applied in other instances, such as in court hearings to render justice or a lighter verdict).

Crown of Thorns Oil

qedavathegrey:

I use this – basically – like the oil equivalent of Goofer Dust. For curses, hexes and any unsavory workings. Its uses are as vast as the imagination and it seems to have a particular affinity for black and red candles. It can be added to charms, dolls, candles, poured into a person’s foot-tracks, etc. but the point is usually the same – to cause discomfort &/or to keep a person the hell away from you.

To create, mix:

  • Coffee Beans (whole or ground – either is fine)
  • Red Pepper Flakes
  • Cayenne and/or Chile Powder
  • (3/6/9) Whole, dried Red Peppers (like Tabascos, japonés, even red jalapeños) 
  • Black Pepper
  • Iron Oxide (Rust)
  • (Optional: Sulfur Powder)

Add these to a jar/bottle (using a dark bottle or one painted black is preferable, but not necessary). Once added, fill half way with:

Carrier Oil & Castor Oil (4:1)

Shake vigorously.

Finally. add in:

  • A few sprigs of Barberry
  • Pins and Needles

  • Ash of Deuteronomy 28:25 ;; “The Lord will cause you to be defeated before your enemies. You will come at them from one direction but flee from them in seven, and you will become a thing of horror to all the kingdoms on earth.”

Fill the rest of the way with oil – cork and shake.

WARNING: There’s a whole lot of capsaicin in that bottle. Be careful and be sure to wash hands after use.

Call to the Black Serpent

image

This rather simple ritual could easily be construed as a
curse, but to label it simply as such would be a bit premature. A curse is
punishment for action, and while this ritual does return any ill-will they may
have inflicted upon you, its true purpose is cleansing: cleansing you of your
anger (or any other residual emotions) toward them and theirs aimed at you. It
is punishment for their actions, but not for their emotions – which I think is
a subject often neglected when it comes to curses. While it is their actions
that have hurt you, these actions stem from emotion and if that emotion is not
dealt with, a curse can only correct their action via punishment (indirectly).
This ritual is intended clear that resentment as much as it is to return what
harm they may have inflicted on you.

The Black Serpent is fire – it is cleansing and it is
destructive: it is the insatiable inferno devouring vice and it is the flaming
spear that impales those who seek your destruction. It is preservation – for
it is the Anchor that binds us to the physical world, so that we might face our
trials and learn from these tribulations.

Ritual

The methodology for this ritual is very lax and craves
personalization. I offer unto you only a generalized course of action that may
be adapted in whatever way a witch sees fit. I do – however – encourage the
use of fire, as (mentioned above) the Serpent is ruled by it. A personal affect
or photo of he/she to whom you will dispatch the Serpent is also recommended.

To begin, light your fire – Spirit Fire would work very
well – and present, before the flames, your target. Conjure the Serpent:

From the Earth – from the Depths, Hark: Black Serpent
rise –
From the poisoned garden,
From the earthly cauldron,
From my shadow – born,
There is – yet – work to be done:

While the “hymn” suggests the Serpent’s lair is
within the Earth, it resides at your spine (where its divine twin – the Light
Serpent, your Soul/Spirit – coils around it) and anchors you thusly to the
Earth. Offer to the flames the affect or photo – command the Serpent:

Go forth now – at my behest,
To the throat of my transgressor:
Wreak on them thy vicely clench – and
Dip thy poisoned-tooth to vein,
Devour at their prideful altar,
And bestow on them – my wrath,

When you feel the Spirit or energy of the other person and
have developed a temporary bond, proceed:

Oh great serpent – writhing
Anchor to the middle world:
Bind the eyes –
From seeing;
Bind the tongue –
From speaking lies;
And bind the mind –
That does derive falsehoods
From my Truth,
 
Feed – O carnal beast of man,
On their deception – their predilection
For my misery,
And in thy gilded gullet –
Imbued with my redemption –
Churn the harbored hate
They hold,
And turn out – unto me
Nubile and golden
Blessings
That I might wear
As a diadem
Of Victory;

When the work is done and when you have been purged of your
anger, sadness, etc., call the Serpent home:

Hark, my Shadow servant – return,
From whence you came,
Gorged on vice and anger,
To the Earth – to the Depths,
To the black specter that trails
Ever behind me –
Til’ I call on thee again.

Extinguish the fire – the working is complete.

Upon last breath – the spirit cleaved,
The Serpents to their Sign,
So rose the righteous parts of man,
And left – were the bones – behind,
Unto the depths the darkest parts,
Of God – and Man – resigned,
Devoured by the fires thus –
For in the Heavens
And the Depths,
There remains yet – a prize,
Freedom gained from golden shackles,
And Freedom from the Fires:
A prison –
Is a prison –
Is a prison –
Be it the pyres of damnation,
Or in the guise of Paradise;
It is only those who Seek –
Who might find freedom from
Reprise.
