We are The Witchcraft! By Jack Parsons

We are the oldest organization of the world. When man was born

we were already here. We sang the first llullaby, cure

the first wound, comforted the first terror. We were the

guardians against evil, the left side helpers. the old

cave paintings on the Pyrenees remember us an so are the

clay handcrafted art made by an old purpose when the world

was just new, our hand was on the old stone circles,

the monolith, the dolmen, the druid oak. We sang the first

hunting songs and we gave birth to the first crops. When

man was naked and vulnerable before the powers that made him,

we sang the first song of terror and wonder, celebrated the

pyramids, we saw Egypt rise and fall, we govern for a while on

Caldea and Babylon, we were the three wise man, we sat between

the secret assembles of Israel and we danced the wild and

majestic dances on the sacred forests of Greece.

On China and Yucatan, on Kansas and Kurdistan we are one

All organizations had known us, but we belong to no other;

we belong when there's too much organization, we parted

We are on the side of man, of life and the individual,

So we are against organized religion, moral and

Goverment. That's why our name is "Lucifer". We're on

the side of freedom, of love, happiness, laughter and

joy and divine Drunkeness;

For our name be thy Divine

Babalon.

Sometimes we move openly, sometimes on silence and

secret.

Day and night are one for us; the calm and the storm

the seasons and the cycles of man; all this things

are one and the same, cause we are the root.

Beseech we stand before the powers of life and death

and we are heard by this powers and we take advantage

from them. Our way is the secret path, the unknown

direction, Our way is the path of the serpent on

the brushwood and our knowledge is in the eyes of

Goats and women.

It is our own strength that sometimes displaces

coils of jewels and [...] powerful pinions in the

chest of man. Our power is one with the power that

makes a God agitate on the core of the seed.

Which makes the Cocoon bloom in flowers and fruits

Every time a man and woman unite in essence in a

sustance, our power is that sustance.

Merlin was one of us as well as Gawain, Arthur,

Rabelais,Giordano Bruno, Catulo, Gilles de Retz,

Jehanne d'Arc, Cagliostro, Francis Hepburn

Gellis Duncan, Swinburne

And Eliphas Levi, and many other bardos, magus,

Poets, known and uknown Martyrs that carried

our flag against the multiform omnipresent

enemy: The Church and State and when that

Vermin straight from hell called the christian

church kept all Occident on a slavery of Sin,

Death and terror, we and only we carry hope

to the heart of man; Despite the dungeon and

The stake and bonfire.

We are the Witchcraft and altough we don't know

each other, we are united by a indissoluble

vincule and when the accute wild yell of the

Eagle sounds in your mind, you must know you

Are not alone in your desire for freedom, and

the howl of a wolf sounds on the forests of

your night, you should know that there are

also those who are around. And when the ways

of your fellow men seem to you the ways of idiocy

And madness, you should know that there are also

others who have seen and judged - and acted.

Now know that the power we serve resides in the

heart of every man and woman, as the tree lives

in the seed.

And to be with us, he only has to invoke that

Power, and he is like one of us. And when our

Power and Joy have come upon you, you can go

out and do your will among men, and no one will

tell you no. And if it is your will, you will do

your will in secret, and if it is your will, you

Will do your will openly, as your will.

Therefore lift up your hearts saying: "I am

A man" or "I am a woman, and the Power of Life

Is mine!" And in the Power of Life you will live

And love, without accepting restrictions and

Wand it may be in the generosity of life that you

See the love of life shine in the eyes of another,

And that the lust of life burns in their forehead,

And thus they will feel very happy together without

prejudice, freely and granting freedom.

And it may be in the generosity of life that you see

the love of life shine in the eyes of another, and

that the lust of life burns in their forehead, and

Thus they will feel very happy together.

And you may have good luck and find such a number

Of equals; and share your happiness in celebrations

and secret joys and all kinds of sexual relations

and festivals. Or it may be that in the midst of

threats and danger you teach joyful power to men;

As your wills move you.

And this is good as long as you remember one thing:

there can be no restrictions. The power of life is not

restricted, it knows its own way; but no mind knows

that way. Therefore, practice in yourself giving and

Receiving the freedom that is consistent with life,

since.

Only then can you remain in our joy.

The pain exists. Terror is loss and loneliness and

agony of heart and spirit, even to death.

Because this is the gateway to the kingdom of Pan.

Our path is not for all men.

There are those who are so constricted and sick in

themselves that to think of their own freedom is a

horror, and that of others a fierce pain; for this they

Enslave all men. And you must avoid them or,

if necessary, destroy them as you know,

because that it is also generosity.Also do not think that

the power of life should be manifested in

those who do not have problems or disturbances,

because these can be simple dumb cattle, innocent

out of time. Rather, power often shows itself more

where conflict is unleashed, since at any moment,

and especially in a false civilization, the way must be

opened.

Giving up would be a disaster. The other side of the

coin is a song in the light of the sun and a dance

in the light of the moon, where all the mists are

dispersed. But the way must be won.
