A Cautionary Note to the Reader

Russian black magic is cerebral and philosophical, a studied practice of intellectual arts and manifestation of the human Will. It is for those who are curious about the unknown, rather than those who fear mysteries and taboos. Black magic favors the bold. This book is intended for readers who seek to make changes in their lives and embrace the mysterious and the forbidden.

Any readers who use or try to use any of the spells from this book do so entirely at their own risk. The author and the publisher accept no liability if the work does or does not have the desired effect or results. This book is for educational, spiritual, and inspirational use only.

INTRODUCTION

WHAT IS SLAVIC BLACK MAGIC?

S lavic black magic is a system of ancient sorcery that originates with the black mages of Kievan Rus (Ukraine, Belarus, and Russia in 8821240). Those mages, whose ancient spells were mostly destructive, were called black practitioners.

Sometime after the violent baptism of Russia (990991) into the Orthodox faith, a new tradition based on old-world witchcraft began to take form. Initially it consisted of secret knowledge transmitted through notebooks wrapped in black covers and written at night. This led to it being called black magic among the common people. By association, practitioners who preserved and passed on their knowledge by recording it in the so-called black books began to be called black mages. This tradition was born about a century ago; up until then, knowledge about sorcery was mainly transmitted orally.

The echoes of ancient witchcraft practices are at the heart of modern black magic. This includes, in particular, work with the forces of nature and the world of the dead. Elements of the Christian faith were also imposed from the outside (the concepts of good and evil, God and the devil), intertwined with pagan elements. In black magic, Russian methods of sorcery are intermingled with various foreign ones. The best ones are centuries old and passed on by many generations of mages who devoted themselves to the secrets of sorcery. These mages made a contract with the devil. In the process they renounced God, their families, and the forces of good. In making this contract, mages signed away their souls. In exchange, they received knowledge and power that allowed them to mediate among worlds and people, to gain various otherworldly powers, and to be masters of the natural elements. These abilities gave mages the power to control peoples destinies.

The purpose of this book is to present the theories behind Russian black magic. In addition, a considerable number of practical rituals are given as illustrative examples. This book gives details concerning the secrets of cemetery and black magic rituals. Unfortunately, this book cannot provide the reader with the knowledge, rituals, experience, skills, practice, or anything else that only personal training can give. It contains only a small part of the knowledge and rituals involved. This book does not teach you how to be a mage but only partially reveals the secret knowledge that a mage possesses. It is enough for you, the reader, to understand that, with the help of sorcery, you can redirect life on the worldly plane in a way that suits you, whether that be positive or negative.

In this book I will present the foundations of the belief system and occult practiced by blasphemers and heretics. The text considers the main components of the faith: questions about the forces and peoples relationships with them, the creation of the world, moral values, religious practices, attitudes toward various social institutions, and so on. The purpose of this book is to familiarize all those who are interested in the teachings of Russian black mages as it has been passed on through mage communities for generations.

THE BIRTH OF RUSSIAN BLACK MAGIC

M agic is a special kind of energy. To split a rock with a hammer, you must raise and lower the hammer many times with force. In other words, you have to allocate and use energy. It is this energy that destroys the rock, not the hammer. That energy comes from your arm and hand. Magic is something like this energy, but it comes from your mind.

We must remember that society and religion have conditioned and instructed many of us about what is right and what is wrong, what is real and what is falsealmost to the point that we have forgotten a fundamental truth: all life is full of mystery, and the only way to understand it is to learn about the mystery. We can search for a better understanding of what is really happening. A better understanding of the energies around us will allow us to manipulate them in such a way that our or someone elses life is positively or negatively affected. Occultism is the study of hidden, mysterious, and paranormal phenomena. It consists of many elements in life: one is the spirit, another is the universe, and a third wonderful example is consciousness.

Witchcraft is a system of certain theoretical and practical knowledge based on universal laws. Individuals with this knowledge are usually called mages. This system of knowledge enables mages to influence others. There are many different systems of witchcraft in the world, but likely the most well known and effective is the witchcraft tradition that has developed over the past two millennia based on Christianity, the worlds dominant religion. At the heart of this witchcraft tradition is the confrontation between good and evil (God and the devil).

Ancient magical techniques and methods for working with natural forces and the world of the dead are closely intertwined and have been honed and systematized for centuries by many generations of mages. Though no one can accurately determine when witchcraft originated, we can safely conclude that the tradition began a long time ago. However, it was only a few centuries ago that mages organized it into a precise system, and with the spread of literacy and writing, mages began to record their knowledge on paper.

Witchcraft is not a simple craft, even if it is intended solely for oneself. It requires discipline and perseverance in achieving personal goals, constant personal growth, and self-development. Mages orally passed the black magic tradition down from generation to generation of their blood relatives. Mages who devote themselves to witchcraft as a profession do not become significantly wealthy during the course of their life. They are not allowed to become wealthy as the mages would then become lazy and quit witchcraft. But mages live, as a rule, in satiety and prosperity. If they observe the requirements of the forces that patronize them, they will be provided with all they need or, rather, with the witchcraft for obtaining the means for a decent life.

Competent mages never call themselves magicians. It should be noted that the word magic is applicable only for the circus and theatrical performances of mage-illusionists. This word is the fruit of the fantasy of various kinds of occult writers who do not have the slightest notion of either the theory or practice of witchcraft. Those who prefer to call themselves by this title are various kinds of swindlers and dilettantes; that is, white and black mages, as well as various followers of numerous homegrown secret societies and sects tailored to Western magical orders. A real expert in the field of witchcraft will never demonstrate anything in public, on a dare, or for others curiosity, as is the lot of circus illusionists and theater mages. More precisely, this craft is called sorcery. Nowadays, it is convenient to call the spiritual work
