Crēdō

1

I acknowledge the one Prince - Lord Lucifer

- as the Primal Majesty of the Earth,

as my father and friend,

and as Sovereign King who reigns as God-Emperor over the Chaos.

2

I acknowledge the World and the Flesh as one in the Church of Lord Lucifer,

and as the impetus of Chaos whose Word triumphs over all - EKSTASIS.

3

I thus acknowledge Chaos as the primordial Law of Lawlessness

- beginning and end of all things

- and I acknowledge its regent and emissary,

the Lawbringer Lord Lucifer,

as the outer mirror of my internal force.

4

Thus I acknowledge the one Church

- and the one Lord - as one in the Wrathful Chaos,

and as the one truth of all forms - formlessness - whose Word dissolves illusion - GNOSIS.

5

I acknowledge the one Logos of the aeon,

its one struggle,

its one goal - WAR;

and the Holy Holocaust and Acres of Blood

- for which I shed no tears and bear no remorse;

as I give due praise to my Prince - the Fire-bearer

- for the enemy destroyed.

6

I acknowledge Spirit without Soul,

Flesh without Spirit,

Space without Flesh,

and Existence with no Space

- and am therefore prepared to sacrifice all upon the blood-drenched altar of the worthiest Tyrant

- herald of complete Liberty.

Thus with Blood as the new merit,

I am eagerly prepared to offer myself,

my enemies

- and my friends to the winepress;

for the sake of the True Eucharist of Inauguration.

7

I acknowledge beauty,

integrity,

might,

courage and power as the Pentagram's Force out of Chaos

- for the eternal discipline is "Chao Ab Ordo",

as out of Chaos comes the perfected Order-dissolving-Order.

Thus I acknowledge the Pentagram as the one ethos of the Dark Aeon's Light;

and reject the ethos of the old aeon's dark age of pity, martyrdom and cowardice.

8

I therefor bind myself with word, deed and thought, to serving the Fellowship of Lord Lucifer without fear and dread;

proudly and with my whole spirit, mind and body;

with full knowledge that the breaking of my word is the beginning of my end;

I renounce the Nazarene and all its works; affirming SATAN - whose word is Chaos;

and look upward to his reign with joy for the war,

the victory and the pleasures that shall come;

with the final breaking of the cross.

Sanctus Lucifer

Sancta Victoria

O' Sanctus Khaos

Aperiatur Via Naos!

This is SATAN - whose word is Chaos.

This is C.O.V.E.N.A.N.T - whose word is XVL.

ZA-THA-NAT ; ERIS!
