Necromancy, witchcraft, conjuration: the infamous arts of magic are pervasive and alluring. From these grimoire traditions of recorded conjurations to summon devils, angels, ghosts, faries, and other spirits. What gets labeld as the dark arts of conjuration, especially throughout the new world is a blend of the mingling of culture, maligned by its name applied from outsiders looking in. From this mingling, formulas become codified, especially with the codification and rise of mail-order novelty catalogs. Black Arts is one of these formulas: used to aid the conjurer in calling upon shades of the dead, ghosts, maligned devils, learning grimoire magic, and more.
While this article doesn't focus on the particular arts of conjuration, necromancy, and cursing, these subjects are all briefly touched on in this article (and there will be more classes and articles on these individual subjects).
At its core, Black Arts Formulas are calling upon the powers to summon, whether it be for
malignant or beneign purposes. One of the primary ingredients in Black Arts is sulfur, an ingredient that is known to cause these spirits to show up. A simple way to use Black Arts formulas is to light Black Arts Self-Igniting Incense Powder while reading magical books such as grimoires, spellbooks, books of shadows, and other books of magicians to better understand them.
The incense and oil show up for more than just learning magic: they are often used to scent the room to summon devils or shades to pact with them before sending them out to torment someone. Black Arts Oil can be anointed to effigies, and modified with other formulas such as Crossing Oil, Confusion Oil,
DUME Oil, and more for attack. The Incense can be used to perfume the airs before doing any sort of crossing, by simply sprinkling some on a heatproof surface such as salt, stone, brass, or ceramic. Make a line or mound of incense, and when you’re ready to burn, hold a lighter or match up to the apex of the mound or line for ten seconds. here are more Black Arts spells & workings below:
A Way To Conjure Some Spirit
There are many ways to conjure spirits. Many books on magic have went on great lengths to ensure safe conjuration, to ensure the spirit you are meant to call turns up. While I can’t write here every spirit conjuration (as there are an infinite number of spirits, each dedicated to many pantheons, religions, roads, offices, places, people, objects, events, phenomena, and more) we can take a simple approach to do this.
This working is particularly designed to be done at night, and outside. Take a knife you have consecrated for magic: this should be some steel knife, preferably with two edges (a knife that cuts both ways). With the edge of the knife, draw a circle into the ground. You may dress this, or fortify it in any way you wish: either with salt, herbs such as agrimony, or names inscribed into the ground. Alternatively, you can use a blessed chalk, which has been prayed over.
Outside of the circle, draw am equilateral triangle. This can be fortified with three crosses coming out of each apex. Another way to draw this is by including Mi, Cha, El around the triangle. In the center of the triangle, set a black candle, dressed with Black Arts Oil. Alterntively you can dress this with parsley, wormwood, and henbane, or a combination of the two.
Outside of the circle, light the incense, and light the candle. Prayers are a powerful way to stir the forces and protect oneself in the circle. A popular and common prayer is an Our Father:
Our Father who art in heaven,
Hallowed be thy name,
Thy kingdom come,
Thy will be done,
On Earth as it is in Heaven,
Give us this day our daily bread,
And forigive us our tresspassess,
As we forgive those who tresspass against us,
And lead us not unto temptation, but deliver us from evil,
For thine is the kingdom, the power, and the glory forever and ever,
Amen.
Then begins the conjuration
Spirit of this place, I conjure you! Come into this triangle and manifest!
But you must have some ability to know when the spirit turns up, and therefore it is important to develop some gift of clairvoyance beforehand.
But if the spirit doesn’t turn up, you can enforce this with other prayers and conjurations. When the spirit turns up, you can ask it questions, but take what it says with a grain of salt, because spirits can lie. To dismiss the spirit, tell it it should go in peace, and to not do any harm to you.
But if you feel or recognize signs of distrubance after, you should bathe in rue, basil, and agrimony or angelica.
To Raise Dark Spirits Against an Enemey
On a Tuesday or Saturday, at midnight, go to a crossroads and take with you Black Arts Self-Igniting Incense Powder, a Black Devil Candle, a whole-body photo of your enemy with their
personal concerns, a bottle of cheap whiskey, with tobacco, wormwood, parsley, chili pepper, black pepper, sulpher, graveyard dirt, a bowl of cooked black beans, gunpowder, nine Iron Nails, a bottle of Crossing Oil, and an onion.
In the bowl of black beans, dig out the center, and fill it with the wormwood, parsley, gunpowder, sulfur, chili, and black pepper.
Set the working up with the devil candle next to the bowl of beans, herbs, and gunpowder. Sprinkle a bit of the incense next to the Black Devil Candle, and light both the candle and incense. Take one of the iron nails, and anoint it in Crossing Oil. Take the photo and the onion, and pin to the onion the right eye of
the photo, while saying:
By Lucifer, Astoroth, and Beelzebub, may this nail pierce your right eye so you may not see hope
Then do this with the left,
By Lucifer, Astoroth, and Beelzebub, may this nail pierce your left eye so that you may not see my attacks
And continue:
By Lucifer, Astoroth, and Beelzebub, may this nail pierce your mouth so that you may not speak ill of me
By Lucifer, Astoroth, and Beelzebub, may this nail pierce your genitals so you may be stopped up, inflamed, and aggitated
By Lucifer, Astoroth, and Beelzebub, may this nail pierce your left foot so you can not run from this working or these devils
By Lucifer, Astoroth, and Beelzebub, may this nail pierce your right foot so you may not dominate this working
By Lucifer, Astoroth, and Beelzebub, may this nail pierce your right hand so that you cannot receive any blessings
By Lucifer, Astoroth, and Beelzebub, may this nail pierce your left hand, so you are rendered powerless
By Lucifer, Astoroth, and Beelzebub, may this nail pierce your heart! So that you may receive nothing but pain and hurt, so that you may feel grief and loss, let it come into your mouth, to your heart, and by these nails where you are pinned, you may not run from this working, so that these Devils grab you! By Lucifer, Astoroth, and Beelzebub, and the wife of Satan, by the devils in all places high and low, gather and fiend off (name), and may they never sleep, or eat! May their health wither and wane! May water come into their bones and oil into their bowels! And may you not rest till they are dead! So be it!
Light put the onion in the bowl with the blackbeans, herbs, and gunpowder, and light the gunpowder with a match.
Leave the materials there and do not look back.
A Container Working To Make People Fight
Take two Black Figure Candles (or use as many as intended to cause disruption in larger groups). Mark each candle by inscribing the name of the targets on them, or use personal concerns from each such as photos, hair, fingernails, bodily fluids, etc.). Take dog shit and cat shit, dry them, and grind them to a powder.
On a Tuesday at Midnight, arrange the working by laying out all the Figure Candles, facing each other, but do not light them. In the center, sprinkle a mound of Black Arts Self- Igniting Incense Powder. Light the mound for 10 seconds, and allow it to burn, calling each name, and speaking about how they are fighting, they will fight, and their inclination is to fight until they are unable to be around each other anymore. Take the ashes from the incense, and the candles, and into a jar, put them all in together, along with chili pepper, sulfur powder, and more dog and cat shit. Seal the jar and bury it upside down, either in a cemetery or under some accursed tree.
To Consecrate a Black Book Which Will Be The Liber Spiritus
The goal of the Liber Spiritus or a Little Black Book is a working book that details spirits and
operations, but can also serve as a place where the spirit can be called, by placing the seal of the spirit into the book. It serves as a means to pact with a spirit to conjure it faster, once initial rites have been made. Much like a Rolodex to dial an extension faster, rather than calling the King, then the Prince, then the Duke, then the General, then familiar.
The books are made perscriptivly based off whatever grimoire you’re working out of. One infamous and short grimoire that details its instruction is The Little Black Book of the Black Venus attributed to John Dee. However, this method I have used, hopefully, can inspire you:
On an auspicious day to make the book, whether it be under he light of a full moon, on a particular planetary day, the day of a saint's feast, etc.. take up a new book. Burn Black Arts Self-Igniting Incense powder, or a mixture of valerian root, wormwood, parsley, myrrh, a pinch of sulfur, and one of these: hellebore, henbane seeds, belladonna, mandrake, or datura.
Suffumigate the book into the smoke, and speak to it:
Saint Cyprian the Mage,
Aid me in revealing the spirit
Which is right and true,
Into this little black book,
To call and command the devils marked within these pages
And Saint Cyprian give to me, the secret name of this book, and its seal and call,
So that I may Call upon it’s Spirit
By The Father and The Son and The Holy Spirit,
Saint Cyprian, Saint of Magic Books
You should meditate until the name of the book is revealed, with the sigil and call.
Mark into this with Bats Blood Ink, the seal of the spirit of the book. This spirit will help bind the other spirits to the book, and will help be a famliliar unto you. To give thanks to Saint Cyprian you should burn some of his dedicated Incense.
