Prayer to Lilith

Lilith, resplendent goddess, powerful Mother, You who leads armies against the oppressor, Your heart is emblazoned with an endless passion No fear touches you, no cowardice is yours You stand unshaken with fire in your eyes With ebony hair darker than night Your laughter shakes mountains, Your love brings all to their knees, It is in your arms, that I feel nothing but safety. Oh my Dark Rose, glorious Flame of Passion, Beautiful one of the stars, My Queen, stand beside me as I battle through life. With your unending might, guide me. Sweet goddess, Bride of the First Light, In your blazing heart, I am given rebirth.

Anti-Cosmic Satanism, or Chaos-Gnostic Satanism, Current 218, is a branch of Satanism represented chiefly by the Temple of the Black Light, formerly the Misanthropic Luciferian Order. Chaos-Gnostic Satanists espouse Chaosophy (from Ancient Greek khaos, meaning vast chasm or abyss, and sophia, meaning knowledge or wisdom). Chaos here is thought of as a pandimensional plane of existence in contrast with the three-dimensional and material cosmos, which, unlike its counterpart, is not timeless or limitless, and thus restrictive and negative.

This stems from a belief in cosmos being an accidental and troublesome creation of Absu and Tiamat, whose dreams spawned the cosmic gods, who themselves spawned Marduk, the Demiurge, who created mankind, though with the blood of Kingu, inadverdantly giving humanity a power to use against him.

The belief system also begets a life philosophy in which the Satanist maintains a nihilistic outlook and a rejection of modern society, as well as the material.

Chaos-Gnostic Satanism shares some overlap with Sophic Gnosticism in that it is believed that wisdom was obtained via the separation of a part from the greater whole, which, in the case of Satanism, would be Marduk, from which humankind would represent Sophia, with the blood of Kingu representing pneuma.

“Chaos… is the force which has caused life to evolve itself out of dust, and is currently most concentratedly manifest in the human life force, or Kia, where it is the source of consciousness… To the extent that the Kia can become one with Chaos it can extend its will and perception into the universe to accomplish magic.”

- Peter J. Carroll

I had a dream were my brother who passed away said: Ricca, check out Kia! and then I discovered the concepts of 'Chaos Magick' and what Kia means.

“I am the Hawk-Headed Lord of Silence & of Strength; my nemyss shrouds the night-blue sky. Hail! ye twin warriors about the pillars of the world! for your time is nigh at hand. I am the Lord of the Double Wand of Power; the wand of the Force of Coph Nia—but my left hand is empty, for I have crushed an Universe & nought remains. Paste the sheets from right to left and from top to bottom: then behold! There is a splendour in my name hidden and glorious, as the sun of midnight is ever the son. The ending of the words is the Word Abrahadabra. The Book of the Law is Written and Concealed. Aum. Ha.”

— Liber Al vel Legis, III,70-75
