THE ZOËTIC GRIMOIRE OF ZOS

The Formulae of Zos vel Thanatos

By Austin Osman Spare

First Formula: Of the White Sabbath—as first told me by a Witch

ARGUMENT:

Actually there is neither a Black nor a White Sabbath: the ethical criterion of all

acts is whether they are anti-social or so motivated. Where two or more of a kind

of equal maturity and inclination enact for consummation, then, if harm they do

it is only to themselves—which I doubt—and far less harmful than the practices

of those who mutilate or deny their bodies in the name of a culture or a religion.

The latter are invariably prophets or propagators of sterility, whereas the one

outward tenet of Witchcraft is silence to "unlike others".

The Sabbath is an inverse-reversion for self-seduction, an undoing for a divertive

conation. Sex is used as the technique and medium of a magical act. There is

not only erotic satisfaction; the sensualist is made detached and controlled until

final sublimation; his whole training is submissive and obedient until, by cold

amoral passion, he can transmute control and divert him- or herself where

desired.

The Witch so engaged is old, grotesque, worldly and libidinously learned and is

sexually attractive as a corpse; yet she becomes the entire vehicle of

consummation. This is necessary to transmute the personal aesthetic culture.

Perversion is used only to overcome moral prejudices or conformity; the mind

and desire must become amoral, focused and made entirely acceptive so that the

life-force is free of inhibitions prior to the control. Thus, the Sabbath becomes a

deliberate sex-orgy for the purpose of materialization: the Great Reality of 'as if'

(wishful thinking). Sex is fully exploited: he who injures none, himself does not

injure.

Finally: a culturally accepted criterion has destroyed more affective affinity than

any other belief; but he who transmutes the ugly into a new aesthetic has

something beyond fear. For the ethical pragmatist I can assert that this formula

has never harmed me; on the contrary, by improved health and self-control it

has made me tolerant, understanding and compassionate. It inspires and

promises more than probability as possible, and is the only thing that has made

reality magical and the magical, reality. Pleasure is in us and around us… now I

beckon and it cometh unto me.

FORMULA:

This is always secret, communal and periodic; an enforced consummation for

almost unlimited wish-fulfillment by lengthy voluntary abstinence, repression

and sacrifice until release by mass sexual saturation, for one purpose: the

exteriorization of a wish by a great saving and a total spending.

The hypereroticism induced by this grand-scale hysteria or saturnalia has an

essentially sado-masochistic basis. Previous to the ceremony each celebrant has

his or her allotted part, although it usually ends promiscuously and chaotically.

The initiates are trained singly in their own parts and in the response expected

of them. They play a passive role, for the promise of untold ecstasy. The Witches

take the active part throughout : thus the symbolic levitation by besom-handle.

There is a meeting-place and an elaborate ritual which is an extensive hypnotic

to over-ride all inhibitions. Thus, smell, hearing and vision are seduced by

incense and mantra (incantation and the ritual-ceremony), while taste and touch

are enhanced by the stimuli of wine and oral acts. After complete sexual

satiation by oral, anal, or urethral means, there appears an exteriorized

hallucination of the predetermined wish which is magical in its reality. No one

can say precisely whether certain things happen or not, although each person

may have very different and equally vivid experiences. Some form of levitation

seems common to all. My own experience of many Sabbaths is that there is

consummate exteriorization and that subsequent memories are of reality.

All excessively sadistic acts are usually symbolized by genuine Witches, but

what simulation there is is common to most erotic rights. The whole ceremony is

based mainly on inverted orthodox religious services.

DOCTRINE AND CREDO

Fornicatus benedictus! Almighty Ashmodeus, existent of Chaos, ominous by thy

name, thy kingdom come through me on earth. Lead me into all temptations of

my flesh so I may trespass greatly into thy ways by my desires: for thou art all

sex-seeking unity, thou mighty genitalia of creation that knoweth no satiation—

grant thou my wish, for thou art all power, ecstasy and actuality. Amen!

A small talisman arabesque of the major erotic zones is passed around and

kissed by all. Then follows a short perverse communion, then a symposium with

suggestive exhibitionism, libidinous stories and abreaction of sexual fantasies—

developing into the real thing.

SYNOPSIS OF THE SABBATH

THEORY OF FORMULA:

the wish is fleshed when

magically charged. The act of exuviations is by transference to the powers of

elemental automata as delegated by the obsessive mind. Thus reality may

obtain, and for a while serve its own purpose. The ecstatic moment is used as

the fecund instant of wish-endowment; for at that period of reality, the Will,

Desire, and Belief are aligned and in unison. Faith is a form of compulsory

Differentiation is the stimulus of recreation, hence perversions and contra-

practices are used to that end. Ceremony and Ritual are the matrices of form

and order, the thesis being that by the act of as if

autohypnosis which may build up and enter belief. The great believers have no

need of faith— and we are all convinced by the flesh of things.

THE AFFIRMATION CREED

I believe: I become the potentialities where I made effort… the funambulatory

way between ecstasies: The acceptance of all things, in entering all doors and the

by-passing: Unto myself only the law I make— the good and evil I affirm: The

relatability of all things to ego, the apotheosis of Knowledge in ecstasy: In the

Gods and eternal flesh as all truth: That my way is the only way for me, however

devious: That… which I have enveloped from me, shall come forth as a potent

elemental to my aid.

And I believe without reservation in the preservation of my concepts as the

media of Ego, from which all things ultimately become. Amen.

PRAYER OF COMMUNION

We who are about to partake of each other, shall walk past all amorous sickness

and deaths, for we are within the magical equinox.

Amen

We who proudly make unto ourselves every graven image, shall have great

copulations and are allowed to love our Gods, for we know the Sacred

Alignments.

Amen

We who do not crucify— nothing shall hurt us that is of the Nature ; neither our

comings and goings from the womb, for we have the Key to all aesthetics.

Amen

In this sacred moment (here occurs the symbolic eating of flesh and blood) we

forget our enemies: therefore let our dead children sleep. And let our dead loves

arise, so they too may watch and enjoy our ecstasies. Let their animation be

power to our memories and so resurge all ecstasy, for in this day there shall be

no inhibitions.

Amen

Thou insatiable peripheral quadriga of sex.

Amen

Everlastingly in Thee I know not respite:

Except in the sensuous impact of flesh, there are no meanings.

Thou hast awakened me into eternities.

Thou makest all things beautiful unto the grotesque.

Second Formula: The Formula of Plotinus— as sent me through

the Delphic Pythoness via Automatism, called "Giving life to the

Autistic by Virgin Earthenware"

(Now unto this period I had copulated only the atmosphere or rode whores, lined

old hags, witches and bitches of all kinds, there being few virgins.)

The autotelic wish into heterotelic conception is by concummation through using

an urn of correct shape and dimension which must correlate nearly to that of

the lingam used— so that there is sufficient vacuum. At the moment of orgasm

the wish must be imperatively stated. After ejaculation seal the vase with your

sigil and with the secret formula of your desire. Bury same at midnight, the

moon being quartered. When the moon wanes, disinter and pour contents as

libation into earth with suitable incantation, and re-bury same. This is the most

formidable formula known, never fails and is dangerous— hence what is not

written must be guessed. From this formula was derived the legend of the Genii

of the Brazen Vessel as related by Solomon.

Third Formula: The Communion of Auto-Ego of Zos

This formula is based on that of Apollonius the Pythagorean philosopher and

theurgist, and is the only magical means of inseparation and psychic help that

has no disastrous aftereffects whether it fails or succeeds.
