Spitzalod is a supernatural being who has always existed. He has no beginning and no end that He has ever cared to reveal to any mortal. He is one of the many thousands of Supernatural Beings that inhabit the Astral and the Physical Universe. Each planet in the Universe has its own Supernatural Guardian and Ruler. The ruler and guardian of this planet is Spitzalod. At the command of Spitzalod are thousands upon thousands of powerful Supernatural Beings of all sizes and descriptions and of various dominions and powers. Beneath these beings are we mortals. The initiated Wizards and Sorceresses of this planet are the colleagues and associates of both Spitzalod and those Supernatural Beings that are under his charge. While Spitzalod is ruler over vast legions of Supernatural beings, He does communicate directly with INITIATED members of His own Order/Covens and those INITIATED members of other Craft or Orders whom He chooses to commune with Him.
Spitzalod is fifteen feet in height. He has brilliant red, shoulder-length hair. He is very fair in complexion and most beautiful to behold. Spitzalod wears a gorgeous royal blue velvet robe. Upon his feet are silver sandals. His favorite scent is cinnamon, His favorite color is red. His element is fire. The day of Spitzalod is Saturday, and the hour of Spitzalod is 9 AM. His favorite drink is Red Wine, and the TRIAD, or TRIPLE FLAME is the mark of His authority and His Order and Covens. The name, Spitzalod, means "The Fiery One." Spitzalod is a most zealous protector of ALL Wiccans, Occult practitioners, Shamans, male or female, gay or straight, young or old. He protects Us ALL regardless of our worldly differences. He is known as the FATHER of the magickal Order bearing His name, the Order of Spitzalod. The Order of Spitzalod is totally devoted to maintaining a magickal balance of the Light and the Dark within the Astral and our known universe.
But what are the biddings of Spitzalod? The First bidding is that the world once again acknowledge His existence. The Second bidding is that the harmony and natural balance of the world be restored. Third, that mankind once again comes to a knowledge of the Old Ways and the occult magick arts. Lastly, that the power of occult magick be re-established in the world. Spitzalod does not force His bidding on mankind. He places within our midst enlightened mystics and teachers. If we choose to follow, we may be instructed by these mystics and teachers about the Old Ways.
Dakmonias oversees the Dark Side of the Astral Force. Dakmonias stands fourteen feet tall, and is of lesser stature than Spitzalod. He is clothed in robes of the darkest black velvet. trimmed in moonlight silver. His hair is brilliant silver in color. His favorite scent is musk. His favorite color is black decorated with silver. His favorite day is Monday. His favorite hour is twelve midnight. His favorite drink is what we now know as Cognac. The Black Scorpion represents His authority and power in the occult magick world. He is the FATHER of the Magickal Order bearing His name, The Order of Dakmonias. His Order and Covens are totally devoted to the practice of Dark Magick. The name Dakmonias means RULER OF THE NORTH. It also means PRINCE OF THE UNDERWORLD. His favorite gem is The Diamond. It is the express pleasure of this Dark lord to recruit witches and sorcerers to the Dark Side of the Astral Force for the purpose of preserving the Black Magickal Arts in the world. This is essential, because without the negative there is no positive, without the dark, there is no light.
Perversion of the Old Ways
The Old Ways, occult magick, Sorcery and Witchcraft as it is practiced today is, for the most part, a diluted version of what was practiced and taught even just four or five centuries ago. It is certainly not the same occult magick tradition that was practiced and taught a few thousand years ago. It is critical that all aspiring students or Seekers of the Old Ways understand how their occult magick tradition has been diluted, and how to arrive back at the original occult magick traditions as originally formulated by those ancient practitioners.
First, let me direct your attention to one of the most famous occult magick grimoires in existence today, "THE MAGUS" by Barrett Francis, (1801), published by University Books, New Hyde Park, NY. This book is available by special order from most regular or occult bookstores. Most occultists think that the only reason why his book has a bad reputation among the scholars is because the author lifted so much material from earlier sources, but that's not it! The reason why I bring up this book is because it is an excellent example of the diluting of occult magickal traditions. I can just hear some Sorcerers out there right now screaming "WHAT? This is one of the most powerful occult magickal books on the market today." Well, "THE MAGUS" certainly is a famous book. And it certainly is revered as one of the most complete works on occult magick there is. Given many of the other choices available in the market today, I might agree. Indeed, much of the book is a resource for ancient occult magickal knowledge. The part that authentic practitioners take issue with are the references to ritual and spell work that requires the constraining of Supernatural Powers by reciting Christian prayers.
"THE MAGUS" is not alone in this regard of non-occult thought. Many occult books blend Christianity with the occult tradition. This is exactly what I mean when I say that the occult magick traditions have been seriously diluted over the last few hundred years. The reason this happened is because the occult, the teachings of the Old Ways were in CONFLICT with the teachings of the NEW UPSTART CULT, Christianity. Faced with utter and total extinction, many occult groups began to blend Christian rituals and philosophies in with the Old Ways. No occult practitioner worth anything would ever have considered using a Christian prayer to constrain a Supernatural Power. Why not? Because unlike Christians who see Supernatural Powers as their enemy, occult practitioners understand they are our friends.
Calling the Powers predated Christianity by many thousands of years. No Christian prayers were ever needed PRIOR to Christianity to constrain any Supernatural Powers. BUT, when faced with extinction at the hands of Christian tormentors, or being tortured to death by Christian Clergy, many occult practitioners incorporated the use of the dominating power traditions. As a result, we get a lot of Christian prayers within occult rituals and spells to make their Christian detractors happy enough to leave them alone. It was the Christian teaching that there was One God, and a Devil, Satan or Lucifer. In order to lend power to Christianity, the clergy had to maintain that their One God was more powerful than Lucifer and His legion of demonic entities. For the occult practitioner who did not believe in the Christian God, or the Christian Satan, there was no need to invoke Christian prayers. The clergy was determined to prove that their god was more powerful than any other Supernatural Power in existence, which meant destroying anyone or anything that suggested that their god might not be the most powerful entity in the universe. So, many occult practitioners acknowledged that the Christian god was more powerful than any other Supernatural Entity, and began to use the Christian god to constrain the Supernatural Powers called in their own ritual or spell work AS PROOF OF THEIR ALLEGIANCE TO THE POWER OF THE CHRISTIAN GOD. Now, as this compromise became more widely practiced, it began to show up in magick grimoires like "THE MAGUS" by Barrett Francis, "THREE BOOKS OF OCCULT PHILOSOPHY" by Agrippa, Henry Cornellius, "THE KEY OF SOLOMON THE KING" by S.L. Mathers. As a rebirth of Witchcraft and the occult began to spread across Europe and into America, these compromises were taught and handed down as an authentic tradition or "AS ALWAYS PRACTICED, THIS WAY." But it wasn't. Many craft groups today still use Christian prayers for rituals and spells and in constraining the Powers, AND THEN STILL CLAIM TO BE DESCENDANTS OF THE ANCIENT DRUIDS, WIZARDS, OR WITCHES OF ANCIENT TIMES.
Another way the Old Ways have been perverted in our age is through a military technique, known as "Divide and Conquer." This technique allows anyone to assume the very worst of someone or something, meaning another Craft's group practice, or their tradition. And then to accuse that group as wrong or evil. This would develop into infighting of the various occult magick Craft groups. Well, it's about time anyone attaining to the occult magick traditions realize once and for all that there is a place for authentic occult magick as practiced in ages past within the modern magick traditions, and in modern-day occult magick practice.
First, ancient occult magick traditions "NEVER" advocated the ritual abuse of children, adults, or animals. True, there are more recent "spiritual occult" groups who make use of animal or human sacrifice, or the ritual abuse of adults and children. But these are more MODERN GROUPS who had no ancient links of traditions nor a tradition to call authentic. ANCIENT OCCULT MAGICK TRADITION, WHILE TEACHING DARK MAGICK AS WELL AS POSITIVE, NEVER DID, NOW OR THEN, ADVOCATE THE KILLING OF ANY LIVING THING. Indeed, no one should have more reverence or respect for life than an occult practitioner because it is we who understand the most about the life-force that permeates every living thing.
But to suggest that there is no place for White or Dark Magick in the practice of ancient occult magick is to betray one's lack of knowledge and understanding about occult magick. And if the Apprentice or Seeker of the secrets of Spitzalodian or Dakmonian magick and the WizardQuest courses does not already understand the above statements, than it would be impossible for them to attain the highest Level of occult teachings.
Let us strive to be brothers and sisters who do not feel the need to browbeat and destroy each other simply because we do not share the exact same traditions and beliefs. But most of all, let each of us who claim our Craft as a heritage of occult magick be COMMITTED, and practice our Craft so that it will be worthy of our Children and their Children.
