About Black Magick

updated by: High Priest Zevios Metathronos & Pythia

People do things to and against other people in life because they know they can get away with it. Much of this is due to humanity as a whole residing on a very low level of spirituality, due to knowledge being forcibly removed and destroyed by the Christian Churches. There is rarely any serious justice, and most people are indoctrinated to endure all kinds of injustices and abuse. This serves the making of a spiritually enslaved humanity, the servitude the Temple names Eilotil, as slaves must tolerate injustice. If everyone were spiritually empowered, there would be a lot more thoughtfulness and consideration for others and for how we interact with them. Society and the human race as a whole would evolve to a higher level.

There are natural laws. One of them is that if a species or individual is unable to fight back and defend itself against others who seriously intend to harm it, it will either be enslaved by the aggressor or cease to exist. Many species of plants and animals become extinct because they are unable to defend themselves. Our bodies are fighting continuously against invaders in the form of bacteria, viruses, and germs. If our cells stopped fighting and killing harmful invaders, we would quickly become sick and die. This is a fact of life and a natural law.

Ethics and a certain code of conduct are necessary for civilization to continue, and individual self-control is also very important. Sometimes someone is having a bad day, and things are often said or done unintentionally. However, if someone is seriously out to harm you or deprive you of justice, you have an obligation to fight back. The Gods do not demand that Their children submit to those who would destroy them (see Life Ethics, Death & Slaying Ethics). Zevists are not victims.

The working of Black Magick requires strength of mind and skill. Christian anti-life teachings, and the versions of them carried into Wicca and similar movements, such as the rule to "harm none" and the fear that any harm sent returns upon the sender, leave those who hold them without this skill and therefore at a major disadvantage.

The stronger we become in mind and soul, the more powerful we are at all times. Regular power meditation, chakra work, and visualization are essential. One does not need to resort to rituals for retaliation. When we have a strong, focused mind, others will feel the effects when we think intensely of them or when we direct our energies. This is important to remember where family and loved ones are concerned. We all offend each other every now and then, but when we have a powerful mind and aura, we must remember this and be in control. Our anger can cause others to have accidents and misfortune, even when this is not our intention, if we do not control our thoughts and our anger.

As for others who are purposely offensive, just focusing on them and letting your anger loose, with a strong, well-trained mind, will usually do the job. With such a mind, things happen on their own, without any ritual being needed.

Understanding Black Magick

Black magick is the use of spiritual power for destructive, controlling, or retaliatory purposes. It is a natural and legitimate part of magickal practice. The ancient world judged magick by its use and its justice, never by a color: Greeks and Romans openly asked their Gods to punish thieves and wrongdoers,1 while Plato would have punished those who harmed others with spells and bindings.2 Branding all magick as the work of demons is a Christian distortion: Augustine declared even the theurgy of the philosophers a deceit of demons.3

Key principle: Black magick requires more skill, focus, and energy than white magick. The target's aura and spiritual protection determine how much force is needed. Always EVOKE destructive energy, never invoke it into yourself.

Ethical framework: Read Life Ethics, Death & Slaying Ethics before any retaliatory working. Zevist ethics permit defensive workings against documented offenders, but misuse violates Ma'at and incurs heavy weight upon the practitioner.
