    Check out my calendars available for the next year!  *NEW*   She has worn many faces across the centuries — the first woman, the night demon, the serpent queen, the untamed spirit who refused submission before Eve ever drew breath. This calendar gathers twelve of her guises into a single yearly cycle: portraits first born as illustrations for my books, now reimagined as a year-long devotional object for your altar, your workspace, or your wall. Each month brings a different face of the Dark Mother — Phantom Moon, Scarlet Queen, Serpent of Eden, Queen of Sitra Ahra — rendered in deep crimson, black, and bone. Beside each portrait stands an original invocation, written to be spoken aloud: a monthly working you can use to open your practice, mark the turning of the year, or simply sit with as a moment of contemplation. This is more than a calendar. It's twelve rites in disguise — a year spent in her company. Format: 11 × 8.5 in, twelve full-color pages, one portr...

  Group Ritual RITE OF THE TRIPLE FLAME A Luciferian Ritual of the Dragon’s Fire 23RD SEPTEMBER, TWILIGHT This is a group working dedicated to Lucifer in his aspect as Lord of the Trident, the bearer of the Triple Flame that runs through the three main nadis of the subtle body. It is built for performance in deliberate synchrony with other practitioners, each alone in your own temple and yet bound together through the same current, the same fire lit at the same hour across however many miles separate you from the rest of the circle. Lucifer is invoked here as a Draconian principle of self-illumination — to know oneself, to burn, to rise. Where other workings ask the practitioner to descend into shadow and be devoured by it, this rite asks something different: to take the fire that shadow conceals and turn it upward, claiming the trident as one’s own rather than surrendering to whatever stands on the other side of the gate. This is the Luciferian inversion of descent — ascent ...

  Lilith: Grimoire of the Nightside The Author's Edition ✶   ✶   ✶ Some of you will remember Rites of Lilith, the limited hardcover leather edition of my grimoire on the Queen of the Night, published a few years ago. It suddenly disappeared from the publisher’s store last year, and since then I have tried, repeatedly, to get in touch with the publisher about what would happen to the book going forward, but never received a clear answer. After months of silence, I made the decision that felt most honest to me and to the readers who have been asking when it would be available again: I am publishing it myself.   This is the author's edition of the book, and it carries a new title: Lilith: Grimoire of the Nightside. The change in name reflects something real about the book itself — this is not simply a reprint of the old text under new management. I went back into the manuscript, expanded several sections, added a completely new chapter on Lilith a...

  Group Ritual RITE OF THE RIPENING POISON A Working of Samael's Blade 5TH SEPTEMBER, DUSK ❖ ❖ ❖   This is a group working dedicated to Samael in his aspect as the Sword of Severity, the archangel whose bitterness is not cruelty but correction. It is built for performance in deliberate synchrony with other practitioners, each alone in your own temple and yet bound together through the same current, the same blade drawn at the same hour across however many miles separate you from the rest of the circle. Samael is invoked here not as a destroyer but as an assessor — the archangel whose severity exists to balance excessive mercy, whose traditional epithet names him the poison of God: not poison as ruin, but poison as the substance that, correctly metabolized, becomes medicine. The early September date of this working refers to the moment when the harvest stands cut and gathered but not yet sorted, when what looked like triumph all summer must finally be opened and inspect...
