THE BLACK DRGON

A METHOD OF WoRKING Ro HE MS

BY MCHAEL ECCHEELL

Following the release of my work, ss Kys whereinpresented translations of two classica yet underappreciated

Grimoires as well as portions of my own Magickal Record detailingmy own work with The Black Drago, I was contacted by nearly two

dozen readers via my blog and through email hoping for furtherinformation on the revised conjurations spoken of on page 94.

The material of which I speak is a set of modified conjurationsfor use in Evocation of the spirits of the Black Dragon following arevelation I received when working therewith. The "eureka momentin question, for those unfamiliar with ss Kys came duringthe first of several evocations of Frimost, who is in this MS regarded

as the ruler of the znd day of the operation Tuesday. Following theappearance of Frimost, at the point when I began to ask him toidentify himself as is customary in the Solomonic tradition, I waspromptly chided by the attendant spirit thusly:



"Why would any but the named come when the invitation toeat at your table was so replete with threats and intimidation?And why, if your intent is to ask of me a gift , would you deemit aceptable and wse to promise to torment me day after day

should I not agree I come not out of fear nor out of obligation, for over me no man has power. I come because you think to giveme blood in exchange for what you seek, and that I would have

It was frther expained that for me to ca him or his rethren inthe name of jess, a god in whom I do not beieve from a reigionI deem an inst to the inteigence of man was cear hpocris and

it was in no wa the means which he was ond o attend meIt was pointed ot that in m own practice I have never resorted tosch heav handed tactics, having awas given nto ever spirit theirrespect regardess of their cassication This, in fact, was tre I haveawas been of the beief that it is not the prview of man to jdge ansch entit; nor is it in or own power to command them or ownname or wi (save for the most power and ascendd of Mages)

Wh, then, did I initia revert to these methods of treatmentwhen fir� endeavoring to work from the Back Dragon? Simpbecase I fet that when working from a new text for the first time,it shod e done in as cose as possie to the origina mannerThs I forwent m own experience in favor of foowing the text aswritten, nti I was gided otherwise the sprits therein

Foowing this moment of ecidation, I soght to recreate theworkings of the Back Dragon in a wa that adheres to m own beiefsstem and m own practice, wherein the Demons caed on were notchastened and commanded in the name of a god to whom the owe noaegiance, t were invted mch as we woud invite an Ange

In frther exporation and investigation with m own Patrons, inaddition to that spirit known common in the western tradition asthe Ho Gardian Ange I egan to pt together the pzze eforeme, and what I earned, as exponded in Crossed Keys, was that

the psedo-piet demonstrated throghot the Back Dragon andthe adjrations to both jess and the father were, as are man fromthat time period, mere insation, protecting the Mags from thepring ees of the chrch and ptting p a fade of piosness to

god tends to inspire in them a justifiable anger. Thus, having beenreminded of this belief and having had the fallacy of pretendingotherwise for a series of rites pointed out to me by the evoked, Iwent back to what I knew, to what I believed and to what worked for

me - and it proved most effective again

EPAATIONS

When first endeavoring to undertake the Rite of the Black Draonin its entirety, The Magus will undertake a 3 full day preparatoryperiod to begin 96 hours before the commencement of the riteIt is wise to prepare for this undertaking by advising your familyand friends that for the duration, you will be incommunicado andthus unreachable, as it is of paramount importance that one not bedistracted from the work at hand The ritual proper wll commenceon Sunday, beginning with the Evocation of the Kings

Day 1.

The Magus begins a progressive fast which commences with mealsli�ited to whole foods, fruits & vegetables, etc ..

In addition to the fast, 3 meditation sessions of 30 minutes eachshould be undertaken.

If the Magus has patron gods/ goddesses, or has established contactwith he who is known to the western tradition as his Holy GuardianAngel, it is beneficial and appropriate to make an offering of incenseto them and make entreaty for their blessings and assistance in theforthcoming work

Day 2

Progressive fast continues, limiting the days nourishment tofruits, vegetables and pure water (such as Poland spring or anothersuch brand). On this day the Magus will clean the temple physically,using Florida Water, "Holy Water if it suits his will, or in my case

1 With the advent of the internet, the mode Magus finds himself uniquely positioned to seek outand obtain such items. The means by which did so was by going on craigslist's Egypt site through itcontacting a US Civilian Contractor with one of our military's defense contracted groups and offering

him a decent sum of money to obtain it for me while also photographing himself as he does so You willfind it prudent to improvise when using methods such as this when it comes to explaining why youneed such a thing explained that my wfe was Egyptian and for our anniversary I wanted to give herher wish to again walk on the sands of Egypt and bathe in the waters of theN ile and since couldn'tafford to vacation there this was my idea.

THE FIRST EvocATON, THE KNGS

Upon awakening, let the Magus spend the day in meditation untilthe appointed time, permitting nothing to distract him from thework at hand.

60 minutes prior to commencement he is to take the ritual bath,making use of the traditional mantra throughout; "Asperges me dues,hysoppo et mundabar, lavabis me et super nvem dealbabor2

Following the bath let the Magus be anointed with Abramelin Oil,or, alternatively, igh John The Conqueror and clothed in pristine,clean garments, loosely t and light so that he remain cool throughout

the ceremonyUpon entering the temple, let the Magus begin his work with the

following3:

Standing in the center of the temple, facing the ast, stand withyour arms at your sides, palms facing forward, see the sky aboveyou, the darkness of the immense night undefiled by light of any

kind. Summon the divine and preternatural power from withinyou and take control of it. See and feel the sky part as if beingslowly torn until a rip exists, behind which you see only shadows ofbeings that dwell therein From the rip in the fabric of reality abovecomes a streak of lightning, electric blue and incomprehensiblein its destructive power. The lightning strikes the Crown atop theMagus' head, transferring all its divine and immeasurable force to

him. Feel it throughout your body, as if every inch of your flesh wassimultaneously aflameSee and feel the earth underfoot tremble for several moments,

nally beginning to split beneath you as did the sky, torn as if by aninconceivable power below. From below comes the molten core of earth-Fire of Fire, as if from an erupting volcano, he ame surrounding you

Reacing both his ands out in front of him, let te Magus nowpart te gates of "hell while imperiously, commandingly speakingthe words Zazas Zazas Nasatanada Zazas three times thrice

Let te Magus step forward to the Easternmost point, lighting acone of incense tere wile speaking the modified conjuration ofthe King of te East, Magoa, as follows

onjure and evoke you, 0 Powerful agoa, King of the East andRuler of Air, that thou mayest hear me and attend me this nite!

Great agoa, under whom serve Masseyel, Asiel, Satiel, Arduel,Aorib and ountless others, hear thou me and grant me anaudiene! Aept this offering of fumigation, and by my will makeit take the shape of that whih is most leasing unto thee, and look

upon me this night with favor, granting unto me your blessings inthis endeavor!

Let the Magus circle counter�clockwise to the norternmost pointwhereupon e will ignite incense tere, and conjure King Amaymonas follows

0' thou, Amaymon King and Emperor of the Northern parts! summon, evoke, onjure and adjure you, Great King, underwhom serve adael, Laaval, Bamulba, Belem and Ramat andlegions else, hear me this night and ome, take seat upon the thone

reserved fo thee amongst thy brethren and fellow Kings!Give unto me thy blessings that suess may be mine in this wok

Take of the oerings made unto thee and be by it strengthened
