The
Cyprianus: Clavis Inferni (translated Key of Hell) is a late
18th-century book for the purpose of the practice of black magic. The
aim for the publication of this book is to make it available to
students and practitioners who are interested in researching the
grimoires of the Solomonic & Goetic Tradition. The text in the
original version of the Clavis Inferni was written in a mixture of
Latin, Hebrew and a cypher alphabet called 'Transitus Fluvii' or
"Passing through the River" by C. Agrippa.
Excerpt
of the Introduction text by A.D. Mercer.
Despite the
title of the manuscript, it is important to establish that there is
no possibility that the present text is by the (in)famous St.
Cyprian. Due to his supposed magical dealings, prior to his
conversion to Christianity, St. Cyprians name has become attached to
a wide range of magical tracts and works. Note that this is not the
classic St. Cyprian, the Bishop of Carthage from the 3rd century, but
the supposed Bishop of Antioch, however there is no recorded Bishop
of Antioch by that name. Nevertheless the name has been linked to
magical practises around the world, most notably magic from Spain and
Portugal and, in particular, their respective former colonies in
South America. Cyprian also features in some magical traditions in
Scandinavia where he plays a central role similar to that of Faust in
Germany and Central Europe, with tales of pacts with the devil etc.
as well as being the supposed author of other magical tracts......
.....The
manuscript itself may well fit into the Solomonic cycle of magical
Grimoires as it is chiefly influenced by Agrippas Three Books of
Occult Philosophy (where the author has used the Passing the River
script found in Agrippas book) and by the Heptameron, which contains
conjuration spells that are similar to the ones found in the present
manuscript. There are also signs of influence, or at least evidence
that the author had access to,other texts including The Grimoire of
Pope Honorius and The Sixth and Seventh Book of Moses, both of which
appear to be the source for the particular spellings of the names of
Demon Kings used in the Clavis, indeed the use the word Clavis itself
points the Solomonic cycle. Thus confirming that this is a classic
grimoire for that tradition.
Excerpt
of the essey On Metatron by JCB.
This book
is intriguing not only because of the mystical feeling one gets when
looking upon the illustrations, symbols, text and glyphs so richly
inscribed upon its pages, but also because of its captivating title:
Clavis Inferni sive magia alba et nigra approbata Metratona, which
translates to Key of Hell with White and Black Magic approved by
Metatron. By this title, the author clearly states that the workings
of magical practice herein, with their formulas and words of magical
significance, have had their effectiveness tested and proven under
the supervision and with the blessings of none other than the
archangel Metatron himself.
According
to the Babylonian Talmud, Metatron is the highest-ranking angel and
the supreme ruler over all who reside upon our Earthly material plane
as well as over those in the Heavenly realm. As such, he is the angel
closest to God and is closely associated with God as the Lesser YHVH.
In the Kabbalah, Metatron is named the ruler of Kether (the Crown),
the first and highest Sephirah of the Tree of Life, representing
Heaven or Paradise, with its associated planetary body being Pluto.
The lowest Sephirah, Malkuth, representing the material, Earthly
realm the furthest from Heaven and positioned at the bottom of the
Tree of Life, is represented by planet Earth and is ruled by
Metatrons twin brother, Sandalphon........

RITES OF
NULLIFICATION

De Laval
List Price: $74.95
Book
Specifications: Standard edition cloth bound hardcover, Silver foil
sigil printed to the front cover, Silver foil lettering printed to
the spine, A full color printed internal bookblock, 90 grams softtone
bonewhite paper bookblock, Black endpapers, Black silk head/tail
bands, 218 pages total page count, Strictly limited edition of only
300 exemplars. Each copy hand-numbered and stating its exact
limitation.
SYNOPSIS:
Rites of
Nullification comprise a detailed exegesis and expansion of a
passage, in the book Black Magic Evocation of the Shem ha Mephorash,
under notes for the demon Lekabel, which enumerate the four
Qliphothic worlds of negation set in antagonism against the four
Kabbalistic worlds of creation.
Originally
written and released in truncated form as the thematic and lyrical
underpinning of, and accompaniment to, the four-song album,1557:
Rites of Nullification, by Swedish black metal ensemble Mephorash, it
quickly became clear that the material therein cried out to grow into
a more complete initiation, which is exactly what Aeon Sophia Press
will be releasing: a full-praxis version of these ceremonies.
The
grimoire enumerates and constructs a carefully and mathematically
rigorous gnostic ceremony of the wedding of the Bride of Chaos using
as its base structure a four-dimensional contemplative manifold
formulated from permutations of the sacred binary, over which are
overlaid a set of commonly used occult symbols to create a ritual
space for the transformation of consciousness. These tools allow for
that primordial differentiation, which gives rise to the possibility
of experience itself, to be methodically disassembled. Using the
book, the witch is given the opportunity to use demonic energies
arranged carefully to deconstruct her own personality as if it were a
scripture, giving rise to the possibility of new consciousness beyond
the horizon of her reality tunnel, as she perforates it by marrying
it to chaos.
In short,
Rites of Nullification is an extremely detailed and exhaustive
self-initiation that takes the practitioner on a deep dive into
ritual and mystical Satanism, beginning with a betrothal to the Devil
and commencing in the ur-gnostic bridal chamber itself.

FROM THE
PUBLISHER:
A colorful
study of a passage from the Masoretic text wherein are enumerated
eleven tribes of Canaan, a land and people targeted by the God of the
ancient Israelites for invasion and systematic extermination. As a
result they symbolize in the context of these folk stories a sort of
"Anti-Israel" in the sense that they are an "Un-Chosen"
people, providing an adverse literary complement to the idea of
ancient Israel as the "Chosen" people. In Sacerdotium
Umbrae Mortis I search out and study various
"The
book is a complete system of initiation and ascension in the grades
of The Priesthood of the Shadows of Death, an order of predatory
sorcerers who specialize in the practice of energy vampirism and in
the necromantic conjuration of revenant phantom shades from the
eleven hells of the Qliphoth.
The
system is based on meticulous research into the eleven tribes of
Canaan, enemies of the Right-Hand Path who esoterically represent
eleven classes of hostile, predatory vampiric shadowforms who emanate
from hells of black magick and the anti-world of death. Multiple
levels of correspondences and esoteric enumerations are given as well
as conjuration sigils and numerous seals and illustrations so that
the initiate can ritually evoke not only these necromantic shades,
but their ruling princes.
The
grimoire, when studied and used properly, allows brave magicians to
ascend in exotic spheres of consciousness and power by communion with
and transmogrification by these venomous Lords of the Abyss. Included
are various lists of attributes of vampirism, the four stages of
initiation, four grades of mastery, tables of days, hours, and
elemental and planetary correspondences suitable for infernal
conjuration, and complete descriptions of the panoply, implements and
rites of vampiric necromancy that comprise the order of Sacerdotium
Umbrae Mortis."

SYNOPSIS
A Second
Nature is a book that compiles three years of artistic production. An
introduction and reflections upon the subjects are included in order
to let the reader recognize the different motifs and symbolic
elements as they combine through the works. However, the focus is
evidently letting the works speak by themselves and among themselves
as they create a book of images.
The first
nature implies the sensible world and the second nature, the
invisible or the world of ideas. Art can somehow become a bridge
between the two. It is also said that habit is a second nature. In
the present work that second nature is the habit of drawing. Drawing
is here approached as a way of insight. Any form of praxis can serve
such a purpose, and that is an aspect that theory often seems to
forget.

Excerpt of
Introduction: the two natures.
The title
is inspired in an early theological debate upon the nature or of the
Christ, the Nestorian controversy. If Christ was both divine and
human in one body, as wine and water, or if these natures were
divided, as oil and water in one cup.
The “first”
nature is the sensible world, so long perceived in the west as
inferior. The second nature is divine nature or the world of ideas.
Is there a unity beneath this great polarity? That is not to be
answered in theory.
It is also
said that habit is a second nature. Something that has been so
thoroughly rehearsed that feels almost like a new instinct. In the
present work that second nature is the habit of drawing. Drawing is
here approached as a way of insight. Any form of practice can serve
such a purpose, and it is the aspect that theory often seems to
forget.
This work
is composed by two kinds of drawings. Some serve as ways to register
visualizations, that are otherwise impossible to be expressed in
verbal form. Others serve as ways for the learning and appropiation a
concept, it is therefore here believed that drawing as an action
brings a practical understanding of the depicted form.
This work
compiles two years of drawings, selected and arranged into a
narrative progression.
The book is
divided into three sections, signalized by three obeliscs, an emblem
taken from the Hypnerotomachia Poliphili. If put together, their
letters form three names of god. These, at the same time, are three
letter names. But, as stated by the maiden Logistica, “no mortal
could perfectly discern or see simultaneously two sides of this
figure, but one at a time, and that is the present.”
About the
author
José
Gabriel Alegría Sabogal. Born in Berlin, lives and works in Lima,
Perú. Studied painting at PUCP (Pontifical Catholic University of
Perú) and a while in the Universitat de Barcelona (UB). Currently
studying a Master in the History of Art at PUCP.
His visual
work makes use of the line-technique of renaissance copper plate
engraving but applied to direct drawing. Both the themes and their
treatment are essentially anachronistic and follow the initiative of
developing a symbolic language that aspires to a timeless nature.
His works
have been published by Aeon Sophia Press (Netherlands), Anathema
Publishing Ltd. (Canada) and Mount Abraxas (Romania).
He has also
developed the visual concept for several musical albums by bands from
America and Europe, amongst them Whoredom Rife (Norway) and Inferno
(Czech Republic).
