other restrictive godform you were raised with. Where
the name of Satan is used, you can use Iblis or Melek
Taus as a substitute for the previously Muslim
readers. Ingenuity is required for people who want to
get rid of Wiccan/neo pagan mindsets.
The rite can be performed indoors or out, although
outside is preferable due to the symbolism of the
Devil as carnal nature. It should be performed at
night. Moon phases are irrelevant to the LHP, but if
you feel a specific phase will suit you better, by all
means use it. The dark of the moon is recommended if
you do.
9. Incense (optional).
The altar can be anything from a slab of stone to a
coffee table. The candle is self explanatory. The pact
refers to a document that you have written in your
own hand and words that declares your rejection of
and revulsion to your previous path. In it you
renounce your old god/s and pledge yourself to the
new path of allegiance to the Devil as symbol for the
LHP. At the bottom is to be left a space where you
will sign your name in your own blood. The symbol
of your commitment can be a ring, a pendant, a
magickal weapon, anything that resonates with you.
Pentagrams with two points facing up are
recommended. The book or symbol of your previous
faith should be obvious. The instrument for drawing
blood can be a needle, a blade, a knife or a
hypodermic needle. Your aim isn¶t to scar or do harm
to yourself, but to extract enough blood to be able to
write your full name with. The writing instrument can
be anything that will be able to write in blood, a
fountain pen, a feather with the tip sliced at an angle,
a fine paint brush etc. The robe can be made by hand
or made for you. What is important is the color black
as symbol for your new union to the forces of
darkness. Incidentally, the candle symbolizes your
new ability to perceive the light in that darkness.
Many metaphysical discussions can be begun on the
symbolism of this alone. If you don¶t have the robe,
dress in black clothes. Incense can be a joss stick or
something more involved like resins and aromatic
herbs burnt on a coal (the type you use with a hookah
is ideal). These things aren¶t strictly necessary for you
to make a commitment, however for the purpose of
this rite they are.
To begin the rite, cleanse yourself physically by
bathing or showering, the whole while envisioning
yourself not only being cleansed from dirt but also
from your previous beliefs. Don the black and make
your way to the chosen place where you have lain out
all the paraphernalia on the altar. Light the candle and
the incense if you¶re using it and open the ceremony
with a short prayer:
³Lord Lucifer, enlightener of man, giver of
knowledge and an unclouded mind, emerge from
within me and witness this rite. I desire to walk the
way that you are the example of. I do away with
ignorance. I do away with hypocrisy. No longer will I
walk the path of self deceit.´
Take up the oath that you have written and recite it
loudly in defiance of your previous existence, then
draw your blood and sign the pact with your full
name. Take the symbol or book of your previous faith
and with all the infernal hatred you can muster, spit
upon it, cast it to the ground and tramp upon it
grinding it into the dust. If outdoors, the symbol is to
be buried in that place, if indoors take it afterwards
and bury it somewhere. Take now the symbol of your
new commitment and place it on your person, saying:
³The work is done; my foot is set firmly upon the Congratulations! You have embarked on a life long
path. My allegiance with the infernal realm is journey of discovery, knowledge and undefiled
complete. Hail Satan, Hail Lucifer, Hail Myself!´ wisdom.

The symbol is to be carried on you at all times if

possible, but without fail during ritual. At some later
stage you may feel the need to strengthen your
dedication and as such a new symbol may be chosen.
Some will be content with the original artifact for the
rest of their journey, to each their own.

Snuff the candle and cast the ashes of the incense to

the four winds. The pact that you have written and
signed is to be kept in a place that is safe and sacred,
perhaps the inside of a personal altar.

This short rite is designed to break constrictions,

decondition your mind, and mark a definite point from
whence it can be said that you have made a choice to
follow the sinister way. It does not make you a
Satanist, for if you have performed this rite it means
that you have probably always been one. It does,
however confirm to yourself, by yourself what the
reality of your existence is. As the most sacred day to
a Satanist is his/her own birthday, it is recommended
that you perform it on such.
