Dark Goddess Summoning Rite

This rite summons the goddess of shadows and darkness

Procedure

 * 1) In a pitch black room, ring a bell by hitting it with your athame
 * 2) Chant "Triple form of darkness. Somber splendor. Thou moon unseen of men. Thou huntress dread. Thou crowned demon of the crownless dead. O breasts of blood, too bitter and too tender. Unseen of gentle spring, Let me the offering. Bring to thy shrine’s sepulchral glittering. I slay the swart beast. I bestow the bloom Sown in the dusk, and gathered in the gloom under the waning moon, At midnight hardly lightening the East; And the black lamb from the black ewe’s dead womb I bring, and stir the slow infernal tune fit for thy chosen priest. Here where the band of oceans breaks the road black-trodden, deeply-stooping, to the abyss, I shall salute thee with the nameless kiss, pronounced toward the uttermost abode of thy supreme desire. I shall illume the fire whence thy wild stryges shall obey the lyre, whence thy lemurs shall gather and spring round, girdling me in the sad funereal ground With faces turned back, my face averted! I shall consummate the awful act of worship, o renowned, fear upon earth, and fear in hell, and black fear in the sky beyond fate. I hear the whining of thy wolves. I hear the howling of the hounds about thy form, who comest in the terror of thy storm, And night falls faster, ere thine eyes appear glittering through the mist. O face of woman unkissed, save by the dead whose love is taken ere they wist. Thee, thee I call. O dire one. O divine. I, the sole mortal, seek thy deadly shrine; Pour the dark stream of blood, a sleepy and reluctant river even as thou drawest, with thine eyes on mine, to me across the sense-bewildering flood that holds my soul forever"
