Black Magic Karma – Part II.

an essay by Anima Noira

See part one here.

I cannot decide which offends me more – the existence of a sizable crowd of magical practitioners who are in denial and who refuse to own their own Works of Darkness – or the likewise sizable crowd of self-described Black Magicians, who think that somehow, by rebranding themselves from within the current, they will be able to escape that which is the subject of this essay, the Karma of Black Magic. It is a subject almost never discussed by the Black Magicians, and I am here to address the Silence. Unfortunately, the modern Black Magician’s silence on the matter of Karma stems from his arrogance and obliviousness, rather than the Virtue of Silence, the Fourth and the Completing one of the Four Magician’s Powers. In plain English, the Black Magician doesn’t keep silent about the Mysteries – he doesn’t know this shit, and it befits his godlike arrogance to simply omit the most gaping hole in his entire philosophy.

Let us start with an axiom, to address that widespread injustice…

“𝔄 𝔅𝔩𝔞𝔠𝔨 𝔐𝔞𝔤𝔦𝔠𝔦𝔞𝔫 𝔡𝔬𝔢𝔰𝔫’𝔱 𝔡𝔦𝔢 𝔬𝔣 𝔬𝔩𝔡 𝔞𝔤𝔢.”

You can trust Yours Truly on this matter. I know Karma of Black magician, because I was personally hung, burnt alive, lynched to death, and buried alive; I was murdered and, of course, my life ended in ritual sacrifice a bazillion times.

Sometimes I was the Ritualist, well-versed in the Arcane Arts, and sometimes I was the Sacrificial Victim, innocent and oblivious because what goes around, comes around, and the Dragon and the Virgin trade places. It was this deep dive into recalling my past lives and centuries in service of the Dark Current that made me understand all that which had been previously escaping me. In the end, the Practice of Magic divides people into two categories only, and that is those who have lived through the experience, and those who have not. In remembrance of the truth and in the admission of our True Selves, the boundaries dissolve.

The Judgment dissolves too, in the moment of truth you only see the sequence of events and decisions and what became of each one of them, and if you were to look at what is holding you back from realizing the Nature of Black magic you would probably see your own life in Some Place Else, and the bad experience that made you shun it; perhaps you were tortured for your beliefs, ostracized, or, maybe you were an eager practitioner of the Black Order, and something went wrong there, as it always does, on this God-forsaken planet.
