I invoke the Dragon,
Great Monster of Primal Waters!
The First Mother and the Source of All Creation and Destruction!
Monster in the Sea!
Dragon of the Earth!
Great Fiery Serpent who comes with thunder and lightning!
Whose breath is the harsh wind of the desert, And the nourishing breeze of fresh waters!
Dragon of the Void,
Who swallows the sun at the end of the day!
Dragon of Dark Waters,
Who stirs the ocean of dreams,
And enflames the Desire to seek the Truth!
Great Dragon of the Apocalypse!
I call you by the names:
-51-Tiamat! Leviathan! Lotan! Tannin! Yam! Nahar!
Rahab! Behemoth! Tehom! Hubur! Theli!
Seven-Headed Serpent!
Come forth!
Rise from Within!
Consume my flesh in your timeless flames!
Forge my soul in your eternal fire!
I open the Gates of the Night,
And descend into the Womb of Chaos, To arise reborn in the Blood of the Dragon, My body is the Flesh of the Dragon
My blood is the Dragon’s vital-essence My soul is the Flame of the Dragon,
Forever burning in the Darkness of the Night!
And I proclaim my Will through all worlds and all dimensions!
In Nomine Draconis, Но О phis Ho Arch ai os, Ho Drakon Ho Megas!
Open your consciousness for the flow of energies and focus on Dragons force rising within, from the base of the spine, up through the spinal col
umn, into your third eye which opens and suddenly, all illusions are shat
tered, burnt by the Dragon’s Fire. Envision your aura assuming the shape of a fiery dragon. See the wings growing from your back. Feel the energy press
ing upon the crown of your head and flowing up. Visualize how the Dragon s Fire rises within and without. You are the Dragon, the living manifestation of the primal timeless Current. This is a powerful and ecstatic feeling.
With this assumption of the Dragon form, you can enter any ritual or operation described on the pages of this grimoire.
52-repare black candles, a chalice with red wine and a ritual blade.
Light the candles, then trace the lines of the sigil with your own blood, visualizing how your vital substance activates the seal and makes it come alive. Put a drop of blood on your third eye, as well.
Concentrate for a while on the sigil while chanting the mantra, “Ummu Tiamat, Ummu Hubur.”
When the atmosphere in the Temple thickens, draw the Key of the Night with the ritual blade in front of you, and recite the words of invocation:
Ho Op his Ho Archaios, Ho Drakon Ho Megas!
Mother of Darkness,
Queen of demons and abominations of the earth, You hold the Universe in your coiled embrace, Yours are the keys to the Kingdom of the Night, Your timeless essence is the soul of the world, Your blood is the vital force of every living being,
You swallow the Light and cover the world with the Veil of the Night, In your womb the Black Flame is born,
The fire of creation and destruction, Which is more ancient than Time.
Ancient Dragon Goddess, Rise up from the Void!
Vibrate the word, VOVIN eleven times.
Envision black shadows in the shape of flames rising from the ground and dancing around you, filling the Temple with intoxicating vapors which
-53-wrap around you and penetrate your body, merging into one with your flesh and soul.
When you feel ready to continue the ritual, speak the second part of the invocation:
Come to me, Tiamat!
I offer my flesh as the Temple for your Primal Essence!
I offer my soul as the altar for your Infinite Power!
Mother of Monsters,
So that I could meet you in the heart of the Void, Where each thought, desire, and wish become eternal.
Grant me the power to destroy and create, To burn worlds with your fiery breath,
And to shape them anew from your flesh and blood.
Mother of all souls,
Grant me the keys to your Kingdom of Black Waters,
Open the eyes of my soul so that I could see through illusions, Awaken my Lust for knowledge and power,
Arouse the Desire of Divinity,
And let your Black Flames consume me from within, And forever burn in the abyss of my heart,
For Illumination is not found in Light but in Darkness.
Envision yourself surrounded by an enormous pitch black ocean. The waters are quiet at first, but as your invocation rises through the planes, they stir and rise, as well. You can hear waves crushing against an invisible shore and the air in the Temple is being filled with electricity.
Mother of Gods!
I seek your energy, your life, your limitless essence!
I call you forth to enter my being!
In the Abyss of Chaos I claim your heritage of blood!
In Darkness I seek to rest in your eternal arms!
-54-Tiamat! Awaken and rise!
I drink your immortal blood and I offer my own in return!
At this point, you should make an offering of your own blood to the Goddess. Let it drop on the sigil and then, burn the parchment and let the invocation arise through the Gates of the Night into the Void. Drink the wine from the chalice, feeling at the same time that you are being filled up with the dissolving essence of Tiamat. The Black Flame is consuming you from within and you are being transformed through the Dragons blood in order to rise reborn and empowered.
Focus on this feeling for a while and finish the invocation with the words:
I am the wanderer on the Path of the Ancients, When I walk, I tread upon the body of the Dragon, When I sleep, I rest in Dragon’s arms,
When my soul flies, it rises on the Dragon’s seething breath, My body is the flesh of the Dragon,
My blood is the liquid fire from Dragon’s jaws, My soul was born in the womb of the Dragon.
I pierce the Veil of the Night with Dragon’s Eyes, And I gaze into Eternity,
Where my Will exists alone.
To see is to know,
To experience is to understand.
To die and re-awaken is to become Divine.
I am the Black Flame that burns in the core of every heart, I deliver and I devour,
I am the Temple and the Altar, I am the Dragon,
I am Tiamat.
Envision yourself being drowned and dissolved in the black waters of Tiamat. Feel the connection with the Goddess and let your soul be released from the body as the Draconian force rises and consumes you from within.
Let the vision flow freely until the communion is finished. You can also en
ter the trance of possession through the meditation provided below.
*55
M
editationSit or lie down comfortably. Envision the black ocean again. You can hear the roar of water and the sound of waves rising and crashing. Suddenly, the water starts pouring into the Temple from all around. It is black and thick.
You are being drowned; you cannot move and you cannot breathe. You suf
focate and when the water covers everything, all becomes black. Thoughts, emotions, feelings, etc. are shattered and your mind is perfectly empty. The water is warm and it is a pleasant sensation, like being in a womb, immersed in safe and nurturing substance.
Suddenly, you are lifted and you realize that you are hovering above the waters. They are still now. You are no longer in your physical body and you exist as pure consciousness. The ocean is not flat; it is everywhere around, surrounding the whole universe like a cocoon. And in the center, there is Void, Nothingness. Here, you can create things by the power of your Will alone. And you can also destroy your creations. You are one with the Primal Dragon Consciousness, which is limitless and eternal.
Explore this experience - how it feels to look through the eyes of the Dragon, what it is like to be the Dragon.
When the communion of energies is finished, return to your normal consciousness.
