“To dare to dream of something that has never existed and to make it a reality; to conjure up your deepest fears and darkest hopes; to pursue a vision ruthlessly and without relent; to create the artifacts, ideology and organization of the empires of your mind: this is real black magick, the source of all true power.” ―Gatekeeper Nhoj

“So ancient, so vast, and so wicked an organization as the world-wide, world-old, supernatural, subversive, secret Society of Witches will necessarily in its method and procedure differ in some obvious details according to country and to century, according to policy and to opportunity, but actually since the aim and ends are invariably the same, since the lord and master of them all from the beginning has been and eternally is himself the same, the fundamental principles, the real activities and calculated operations of the Satanists will be found everywhere and in every age to prove precisely similar and unified, inspired, continued, and energized by essential evil.” ―Montague Summers, Witchcraft and Black Magic

“I cling unto the burning Aethyr like Lucifer that fell through the Abyss, and by the fury of his flight kindled the air. And I am Belial, for having seen the Rose upon thy breast, I have denied God. And I am Satan! I am Satan! I am cast out upon a burning crag! And the sea boils about the desolation thereof. And already the vultures gather, and feast upon my flesh. Yea! Before thee all the most holy is profane, O thou desolator of shrines! O thou falsifier of the oracles of truth! Ever as I went, hath it been thus. The truth of the profane was the falsehood of the Neophyte, and the truth of the Neophyte was the falsehood of the Zelator! Again and again the fortress must be battered down! Again and again the pylon must be overthrown! Again and again must the gods be desecrated!” —Aleister Crowley, The Vision and the Voice

Abandon all hope, you who enter.”

Black magic is rooted in the darkest levels of the mind, and this is a large part of its attraction, but it is much more than a product of the love of evil or a liking for mysterious mumbo-jumbo. It is a titanic attempt to exalt the stature of man, to put man in the place which religious thought reserves for God. ―Richard Cavendish, The Black Arts

“Oh my Father, Lord of Silence, Supreme God of Desolation, though mankind reviles yet aches to embrace, strengthen my purpose to save the world from a second ordeal of Jesus Christ and his grubby mundane creed.
