before reading this so you wont get lost read my first one)It must be understood that working with the deific power of Iblis or Shaitan is not a safe route. It matters not if you are looking at the aforementioned force as an actual spirit or a symbol of the dark recesses of the mind. What must be careful adhered to is that which is unseen, that subconscious) with the image of Satan then the transformation begins. Once the initiate has embraced the path, there is no turning back. One may fall from the path; such is a kiss of death to the individual in question based on their own potential and failure. The left hand path as it is called can render a person mad if they are not able to control their own desires and goals, Iblis tests just as he was tested. Satanic or luciferian magick is a dual or opposing system of self-realization. The first area is that of inverse practice, working with repulsive and shunned imagery which takes the initiate into their own self-invoked darkness. By exploring this world as a subjective state, the individual slowly transforms his or herself into a form of Iblis, thus becoming like lucifer. The shadow is the testing force from which you may create and manifest what you desire, and be careful as so you shalkl obtain that which you seek. The shadow is also the empowering essesnce of your mind, it is the darkest recesses and atavistic desires which may be explored and mastered. Azazel (Azazil) is known within Muslim lore to have been the same as the Angel of Death, who was most feared in tribal cultures. Various lore describes Azazil worshipped God in the Seventh Hell for over one thousand years, ascending until he reached the earth, Azazil arose through the seven hells and upon reaching earth he then sat at the gates of heaven, tormenting Adam and Eve. The Bundahishn relates an original tale of Azazel or Ahriman-
(The evil spirit, on account of backward knowledge, was not aware of the existence of Ohrmazd; and afterwards, he rose from the abyss, and came in unto the light which he saw. 10. Desirous of destroying, and because of his malicious nature he rushed in to destroy that light of Ohrmazd unassailed by fiends, and he saw its bravery and glory were greater than his own; so he fled back to the gloomy darkness and formed many demons and fiends and the creatures of the destroyer arose for violence) here we see a different view of Iblis from the thoughts of his Adversary, who would be the Zoroastrians. While the Zurvanites regarded Ahriman to be an original dual aspect of Ohrmazd in the Bundahishn Ahriman is represented as a lesser demon, but a very significant one that equally causes problems but strengthens those who are connected with him. While they sought to condemn Ahriman and speak of his wakness, he was important and powerful enough to haunt their very minds into submission to a written religious doctrine) ok now stay tune for the next one im just lazy writting too much
