The Sanguine Mass





Introduction:



The cornerstone of all Strigoi Vii Mysteries is the Sanguine Mass,
which is one of many tools to complete the Circuit of Communion. This
ritual permits the Strigoi Vii to create a sacred space known as the
Sanctum and invite the Strigoi Morte (disembodies Ascended Vampyres
free of the flesh) to receive an offering of Prana in exchange for a
direct infusion of higher frequency Astral and Spiritual energy from
the Ancients. This process dramatically increases the potential for the
Zhep’r (evolution, transformation and becoming) of the receiving
Strigoi Vii. This includes benefits such as clearer perception of the
subtle realities, reinforcement of the etheric and astral bodies,
higher reservoirs of Prana, deeper dream recall, and the necessary
foundation to delve deeper into the Mysteries.



This process exemplifies the cycle of energy that exists in our
world and is a celebration of life, in contrast to the mundane human
world that worships death. Plants take energy from the sun and raise
its frequency, and animals eat plants and thus raise the frequency of
the consumed energy again. Humans eat both animals and plants, thus
further raising the energy level. The True Vampyres (Strigoi Vii) tap
the rarified life-force of unawakened humans and thus transfer their
energy to the highest level possible. The Living Vampyre (Strigoi Vii)
is the taught by the Ancients to experience highly spiritual steps in
Zhep’r and thus attune Their etheric bodies to a specific frequency
which potentially will defeat the Second Death. This ritual is
established to achieve that attunement, and without it one is simply a
psychic vampire (asarai) with an energy deficiency as described by
Magus Aleister Crowley, Anton LaVey, and occult author Dion Fortune.



Zhep’r is the process of spiritual evolution and awakening that can
be personally validated and which results in the transformation and
metamorphosis of an individual. One of the primary goals of Zhep’r is
increasing of one’s energetic metabolism so that they may prevent the
Second Death, which is the death of the energetic (ethereal) body and
release of the soul. For one to achieve this requires the blessings and
higher frequency energy of the Strigoi Morte, as attunement to their
spiritual frequency trains the entire self for this state.



For best results a solid rational, skeptical, and analytical
foundation known as the Dayside must be established. Without this the
exploration of the purpose of the ritual is simply not possible and no
results will be achieved. The Sanguine Mass can also be used to
function like a séance or a form of divination in which direct
communication with the Strigoi Morte can be achieved. Thus you can also
ask for guidance and have questions answered. Unlike entities involved
in other forms of divination the Strigoi Morte will not lie. If They do
not wish to answer a question They simply will not do so.



From Our experience it is not a good idea to ask the Strigoi Morte
for direct, physical aid. The exchange of energies should be enough for
the Strigoi Vii to gain enough energy to achieve the goals Themselves,
by focusing harvested Prana into Their agenda and directing it with the
True Will. We are gods already. This Communion simply is a reminder and
provides the energy for Us to do Our Will without the direct
involvement of the Strigoi Morte.



This ritual is best done when the Wall Between Worlds (WBW) is
thinnest, such as on All Hallows Eve on October 30th (The Endless Night
Festival) or on May Eve, April 30th (Dragon Festival). The New Moon is
a powerful time as well since there is no celestial light to disturb
the breaking down of the WBW. Best results are achieved by performing
this ritual in a group at least once a month and as a solitary about a
week.





Group Ritual:



Strigoi Vii is primarily intended to be a solitary path, with few
entering into groups. However, group rituals are also performed in
order to generate a greater and more ample offering to the Strigoi
Morte, thus obtaining better results. Those in group rituals should
have one individual tap the Egregores of the Strigoi Vii Triumvirate,
thus each taking the role of kitra, Mradu and Ramkht. Each individual
will focus on their respective duties and work with a specific type of
energy, thus working with this system will amplify the offering of
energy through grounding, cycling, purifying and directing the
collected Prana. In a solitary Mass all three roles are performed by
the same individual.





The symbols of the Sanguine Mass:





Altar:



The Altar since the beginning of time has served as the focal point
of all rituals, from ancient Pagan religions, to Christianity, and even
modern Wicca. The altar should face west and be large enough for all of
the tools of ritual to lie within easy reach of the presiding members.
Normally a sturdy table about 3 or 4 feet high, 6 feet long, and 3 feet
wide covered with a black cloth is best. A large Strigoi Vii ankh
symbol should be placed behind the altar with the black mirror centered
when the stone would be located on the ankh.





Lighting:



If a light source is required, such as for reading or taking notes,
the Synod suggests a blue light such as the ones used by the military
for night missions. Alternately, a dim red light bulb may be used, or
even the light from a sterno candle. There have little effect on
dispersing the manifestation of ethereal structures. For rituals which
are to take place outdoors, from experience we have found that nights
with a new moon are best, since there is as little light as possible.
Normal candles are generally too bright and ruin the mood of the
ritual. We advise you to employ the suggestions mentioned here.





Speculum:



The speculum or the black mirror is the important element of
Strigoi Vii ritual, especially for those who are not yet awakened
enough to see beyond the Maiiah without aid. Often used in the occult
and magick communities for Scrying, the speculum is the portal to the
subtle reality (Rakasha) and point of mental visualization. This is
usually put at eye level on the west wall of the ritual chamber or on
the floor in the middle of all participants.





Wand:



The Wand is used to direct the collective willpower of all
participants and can be made of any normal wood. Traditionally, oak,
willow, and yew woods have had magickal and occult significance. The
Wand should be used by the presiding priest of the ritual. Many
individuals make and artistically decorate their own Wands to better
attune them. Wands may be decorated with crystals, gemstones, feathers,
or painted or carved as suits the individual tastes of the owner.





Athame and Sword:



The athame is a black or crimson hilted, double bladed, knife which
symbolically controls the flow of blood in ritual. It is, of course,
the physical symbol and metaphor of vital energy or prana. A sword can
also be used instead of a knife for group rituals, especially those in
which the Mradu role is being employed.





Chalice:



In Strigoi Vii ritual the chalice or goblet represents the
container of the Blood of both the immortal bond of the Family, as well
as the life-force which is both the offering to the Strigoi Morte and
given to sate the spiritual hunger of the Dragon. What is most
important is the chalice is Not made of gold, which is a symbol and
tool of human slavery and greed. Any other material such as silver,
pottery, or glass is absolutely acceptable.





Incense:



Scent is the most powerful of all triggers and is often used within
ritual as a central element for transference into the Nightside.
Frankincense, myrrh, and other scents associated with funerals often
are the best. However whatever works to best empower those involved in
the ritual is fine.





Cauldron:



The cauldron should be set on the altar or placed elsewhere about
waist level and should be the container for putting out candles of
incense. It can also be used to burn parchment sigils when making
requests of the Dragons.





Music:



Just as physical tools and décor are important for ritual, music is
also a powerful element. Live music can be used both to ground and to
raise energy. Suggested instruments of live music can include drums,
bells, or gongs. Pre-recorded music such as the chanting of cloister
monks, drumming, tribal tunes, or gothic music will often help set the
mood and direct the flow of energy through the ritual. A personal
favorite of Father Sebastiaan is the ritual theme from the film Eyes
Wide Shut. Any music chosen should not be so loud as to drown the
ritual leader’s voice.





Dress:



Just as the chamber should contain carefully created atmosphere and
ambiance, so too it is important for the celebrants be properly attired
for ritual. Individual dress is a major element in the ritual mood.



Most Strigoi Vii rituals, such as the Sanguine Mass and Ascensions,
are most often performed with the participants attired in theatrical
masks, long flowing black robes, and small personalized tools such as
ropes, artifacts, etc. The masks and robes make each celebrant
anonymous and create a theatrical environment in which the Maiiah can
be broken down and the suspense of entering the Nightside can be more
easily experienced.



For those with an opened mind, courage, and confidence, some
Strigoi Vii rituals, such as solitary masses and the Bast Mass, are
best done nightclad, or with the participants clothed only by darkness.
For some workings clothing is limiting psychologically, as well as
impeding to the flow of Prana. Often performing workings nightclad it
will result in a psychological freedom seldom experienced elsewhere.



However, all participants must be comfortable. Usually within a
clutch or household structure, groups who are tightly-knit will work
together in a setting such as a private nightclub, with each person
taking a formally predetermined role. However, more public rituals may
incorporate a more fluid format and assignment of ritual roles. One
major misconception is that nightclad rituals are intended to be sexual
orgies. This is simply not true. Also, the manipulation of
weaker-minded individuals by the ritual leader, especially for sexual
purposes, must always be avoided. Such behavior runs counter to the
working of Strigoi Vii traditions. All participants must be completely
in agreement that while some may be nightclad, others will wear
whatever makes them fell comfortable.



For “Masked” and more open rituals, Strigoi Vii usually wear the
classic long black robe. Hover, white, silver, scarlet, and crimson
robes or capes are also acceptable. Mradu should wear armor or symbols
of a guardians or warrior, while Kitra most often are dressed
seductively and Ramkht should be attired in priestly vestments. Such
attire will help project the image of the road each individual has
chosen to learn to follow. A cord can also be used tied around the neck
for Ramkht, from shoulder to hip for Mradu and around the waist like a
belt for Kitra. There is usually a knot in the cord for each ordeal
completed.



Jewelry is just as important and sigils should be worn by all to
further designate ascension and affiliation and help to set the mood.
Iron should not be present at all as it distracts from the energy
flows.

The Nine Steps of the Sanguine Mass



The steps of the standard Sanguine Mass are as follows:



I. Preparation

II. Establishing the Sanctum

III. Invokation

IV. Invitation

V. Offering

VI. Recoiling

VII. Farewell

VIII. Return to the Maiiah

IX. Celebration





I. Preparation



The Sanctum is a sacred space. It is an environment that is secure from
the realm of the mundane. Only those seeking initiation or who are
initiated into Strigoi Vii should be in attendance. There must be no
exceptions for this most sacred of rites.



All individuals entering the Inner Sanctum should have fed to their
fill over the last few days and be prepared for the Offering.



It is best advised that the celebrants do not drink or ingest any
form of mind-altering substances for at least seven days (one week)
before the ritual. It is also suggested that if the celebrants smoke,
they do not do so for at least 24 hours beforehand so that all
chemicals are cleansed from their system.



The ritual is best performed in absolute darkness and without
electromagnetic interference. If indoors, the chamber where the Sanctum
is to be set up should have all phone lines disconnected and mobile
phones and other electronic devices turned off. The lights should be
turned off and all sources of outside light such as windows should be
covered.





II. Entering the Sanctum



Once everything has been prepared it is time to enter the space in
which the Sanctum will be established. All the points of preparation
should be thoroughly reviewed and the flame of the candle lit in the
cauldron, thus signifying the Sanctum is being erected.



It is best to set up a Decompression chamber, or is a room or area
outside of the main chamber in which the Sanctum is being established.
Through this starting point the participants must pass from the Dayside
mental state of rationality, materialism and logic into the Nightside
where all things are possible.



Within the Sanctum the Gate is the entry from the Maiiah into the
Sanctum and the Portal will be the entry to the Rakasha. Thus the
Sanctum will become a place between worlds and will allow for the
merger of what is possible in each to occur. For the best results, one
must fully accept the perspective that worlds will cross and what is
impossible in the Maiiah and only in the Rakasha will become possible.
Those “impossibilities” includes visualizations and belief that the
realities of magick will reveal themselves and culminate in the
possibility of a tangible encounter with the Strigoi Morte.



The Sanctum must, of course, be sealed and cleansed of all negative
and stagnant energies. Those who solved the Mradu Mystery are often
best suited for this role since they have attuned themselves and are
trained in such tasks.



With the athame, wand, or sword the individual performing the
sealing, should touch each wall, as well as the ceiling and floor, and
state, “By My Will I seal this Chamber.”
The portals should then be sealed, including all doors, windows and
reflective surfaces. The speculum should be covered with a black cloth
and only removed when the Offering begins.



Once the Sanctum has been established the Mradu can invite Kitra,
Ramkht and celebrants (in that sequence) into the chamber. The Mradu
should point the athame or sword at the heart of each participant, and
address to each three requests, as follows: 1) “Declare yourself!”, 2) “Do you enter of your own free will?”, 3) “Do you pass this gate with love and loyalty?”, only then may the other presiders and celebrants pass the Guardian and enter the Sanctum chamber.



Note: In solitary rites or with groups that do not have Strigoi Vii
initiated into or familiar with the road mysteries, one person can
preside in all three roles.





III. The Invokation



The invokation is the declaration of intent and the focus point of
will by which the Sanctum will be consecrated. Because of the lack of
light, for best results this and all future spoken parts of the ritual
should be memorized. The Kitra face towards the west, looking into the
speculum and directly back at their own eyes. Clapping hands twice or
ringing a bell three times is a good way to focus, thus cleansing the
air. Then the words of the Invokation should be spoken slowly and with
deep passion. A sample invokation follows.



“Here We stand within this Sanctum.
Tonight We celebrate with Our True Family. Tonight celebrate US. The
Blood within Us calls out to be heard. So we have come to enter this
sacred space. Let nothing keep Us from Our purpose, for We are Strigoi
Vii! We turn Our gaze to You, Our Fraters and Sorors of the Family.
Blood calls out unto Blood. You, who share this immortal inheritance,
are welcome here in this sacred space. We have gathered the life. We
are filled to overflowing with it! As a means of respect for Our
Zhep’r, We offer this Gift to You, the Strigoi Morte of Our Family! We
thus hope to receive Your Ancient energies! May You feed and be filled
from it. We are here to die and continue, to claim our right of
Immortality. We are here to rise from death into life! Drink from US,
and We shall live forever! HAIL ELORATH! ZHEP’R!”





IV. Invitation of the Strigoi Morte and the Egregores



The Ramkht points to the south with the wand, sending forth an
invitation to the Ancients and Strigoi Morte, proceeding through each
compass point counter-clockwise and ending in the west.





To the South:



Open to me.

Let your gate swing wide between the worlds.

It is our True Nature that wills it to be so.

All people, all places, and all things shall feel our breath upon them.

The fire of our will shall have no equal.

No hindrance shall be placed before us.

(Sumerian)

De Me Ku-Ku Es Ni-Gu

Sumun Ramkht Akhkharu! Gis-Tuku Ni-Gu A-Da-Al

Igi-Se Gin Es Ne Dag!

(English)

We summon Powers of Darkness in to this sanctum.

Ramkht Strigoi Morte we invite you! Come forward! Hear my voice.

We have gathered a gift for you, come and FEAST!

Come forward into this chamber!

HAIL RAMKHT!





To the East:



Open to us the portal that stands between the worlds.

We turn to the gate in the east and cry.

Open!

We reach out by blood and will to all places

and things that dwell in the eternal expanse before Us.

Our breath is the winds that surround us.

We sweep you up in a mighty storm that drives you.

All shall feel our touch and hear our words.

We ask you yield unto me all that we may require.

(Sumerian)

De Me Ku-Ku Es Ni-Gu!

Sumun Mradu Akhkharu! Gis-Tuku Ni-Gu A-Da-Al

Igi-Se Gin Es Ne Dag!

(English)

We summon powers of Darkness to ourselves.

Ancient Mradu Strigoi Morte come forward! Hear our voice.

Bring help protect us and ground this temple.

For we have an offering for you, come and feed upon Us!

Come forward to this chamber!

HAIL MRADU!





To the North:



To the gate in the north we declare it open.

Our bodies reach out tenfold, all people, places and things.

Our hands grasp all. Its life is ours to control.

We hold our heritage firm. We tighten our grip further,

and you feel the breath of life which our hands can extinguish!

(Sumerian)

De Me Ku-Ku Es Ni-Gu!

Sumun Kitra Akhkharu! Gis-Tuku Ni-Gu A-Da-Al

Igi-Se Gin Es Ne Dag!

(English)

We summon Powers of Darkness to ourselves.

Ancient Kitra Strigoi Morte come forward! Hear our voices.

Bring us your weaving! Eat, drink of us! Come forward to this chamber!

HAIL RAMKHT!





To the West:



We turn our gaze unto the west.

Open to Us, for you are ours mine to rule, and our to Command.

Your hearts shall be open to us, all people places and things shall obey our wishes.

You will place no blocks before Us.

(Sumerian)

De Me Ku-Ku Es Ni-Gu!

Sumun El-ra-wrath!

Gis-Tuku Ni-Gu A-Da-Al

Igi-Se Gin Es Ne Dag!

(English)

We summon Powers of Darkness to ourselves.

Ancient Elorath, the most ancient of all Dragons, come forward!

Source of our eternal pact which is our Family! Hear Our voice.

Come forward to this chamber!

HAIL ELORATH!

ZHEP’R!

V. The Offering



Once the invitations to the Strigoi Morte have been sent and signs of
their manifestation are present, an Offering of collected Prana
(life-force) should be presented. Those who have not achieved proper
initiation to the point where they can sense the Ancients should focus
all energies into the mirror. As mentioned before, this mirror is the
portal to the Rakasha, the subtle realm which the Strigoi Morte
inhabit.



In order to release the stored Prana for the Offering, it is best
to focus the breath upon which it is carried towards the mirror. This
is done with a flow in which the Strigoi Vii inhales deeply through the
nose and then releases the Offering in an outward, extended breath
exclusively through the mouth.



For more intimate rituals, placing the mirror on the floor can give
the effect of a glass-bottomed boat, while putting it eye level on the
western wall presents the impression of a window into the Rakasha. Both
positions should be tried, as the results may be more effective
depending on the individuals involved.



Within group rituals, one presiding member takes up each of the
roles of Ramkht (Priest), Mradu (Warrior) and Kitra (Councilor). They
should join hands and begin an evocation while cycling and raising the
energy between them to create a greater Offering. Then the collective
force of energies should be directed towards the individual taking up
the role of the Kitra. The Prana should be focused towards the solar
plexus, as the Kitra will amplify the energy and release it into the
mirror. The Ramkht should work to direct it and the Mradu to ground it.



The grater the offering the more likely is it that the Strigoi
Morte will Manifest and return pure and refined astral energies.
Smaller Offerings are not as effective since the entire process of
Communion takes a certain amount of energy to function.



The process of releasing the Prana should be continued, even if it
means working to the point of exhaustion or experiencing extreme
discomfort. The release of Prana must continue until the Strigoi Morte
manifest and accept the Offering. Heed this warning! Be careful about
your own health, as this process is strenuous and those with serious
health problems experience have negative results.



This ritual is the most basic form of interaction with the Strigoi
Morte and is an experience which will result in Zhep’r (becoming,
transformation and metamorphosis) of the Strigoi Vii. Actual initiation
to the first Mystery cannot be accomplished without a successful
Communion. The Strigoi Morte will not manifest and receive the Offering
if someone who is Sanguine is present, as they are not deemed worthy of
their Gift.



Here is where the real Nightside activities and intense experiences
begin. If the Strigoi Morte have responded to the invitation and
accepted the Offering, they will show signals of their presence through
manifestation, and in return send direct and refined energy back from
the Rakasha. This is an honor and sign one is truly of the Family. Only
those truly worthy will be privileged to have a return flow in which
there is an immense reverse flow of energy directly through the mirror
and into one’s etheric body.



There are many signals of a successful Communion which vary from
person to person and which depend on the degree of success. These are
broken down into several categories which include personal, group,
tangible and delayed. Personal results are those which can only be
experienced by the individual and most often happen in solitary
workings. The most common is the feeling of a tagging sensation on the
solar plexus (the chakra right above the belly button), feeling of
being touched, pins and needle-like sensations in the fingertips, a
ringing in the ears, a whisper of one’s name or a plethora of
heightened emotions such as love, joy or fear. These will not be
experienced directly. They will most likely feel like memories of these
experiences have been implanted. Group results are similar, however,
are experienced by more than one person involved. These include
feelings of a slight and chilly breeze, sparks of light as if one
looked at the sun and then went into a dark room, or shadowy
phantasm-like figures in the mirror. The more intense the experiences
and results, the more the offering has been accepted.





VI. The Recoiling



While the Ancients are accepting the Offering they will be
evaluating each individual and choosing the best candidates, if any, to
whom to give their blessing of their own highly refined Prana known as
the Recoiling. The Recoiling of energy can be great or small, if it
occurs at all. If the Strigoi Morte have not been satisfied, no
Recoiling will take place. The simple experience of being in the direct
presence of their manifestation is enough to potentially be an
experience in Zhep’r for any Strigoi Vii present.



This Recoiling of energies will be a fresh infusion of pure energy
from the ethereal veins of the Ancients into one’s almost emptied
shell. The results will range from feeling invigorated, refreshed, and
charged with energy of a seemingly divine sort, to arousal. It is not
uncommon for females to have experiences similar to a full body
organism.





VII. The Farewell



Upon the completion of the Communion the Ancients should be honored
as They depart and gratitude for Their presence should be shown. The
ritual leader should raise the chalice towards the portal and stare in
a firm and powerful voice:



“I raise this chalice to You, oh
Ancients, I drink in remembrance of the eternal Pact, my true Family
and my true Blood! Within love and loyalty, for I am Strigoi Vii, the
Living Vampyre! Hail Elorath!”



The celebrant should look deeply into the mirror and back at their own
eyes. They should sip from the chalice, and if in a group ritual, let
the presiding members drink next and then the congregation. Clap hands
twice or ring a bell three times or use a gong to signify the closure.





VIII. Return to the Maiiah



The celebrant should point the tip of the athame of sword into the
mirror, then to the west, and towards the north, east and to the south.
They should then put out all flames and in the absolute darkness with
sincerity pronounce: “So now it is done!”
following by clapping of the hands or ringing a bell twice to clean the
air. Then the lights should be turned on and the celebration begun.





IX. Celebration



Once the ritual is completed and everyone has returned to the
Maiiah through celebration, dance, drink, feast, wild parties, dancing
and making merry. This will restore and balance everyone back into the
dayside.





Summation



This ritual should yield results only to those who are truly
Strigoi Vii and is best done at least once a week in a solitary format
and, if possible, at least once a month in a group setting. Always
perform ritual alone and get results first before working with others,
otherwise the Strigoi Morte will not heed your call.



This is only a prototype “beta” version of the Mass which is being
distributed amongst the allies, Priests, and Acolytes of the Synod. It
will be printed in the final release of the Sanguinomicon: Liber Jahira
due for release on the Bast Festival (Lammas) in August 2006.



You may report your experiences, findings, suggestions and results
of the Sanguine Mass and meet others for group Quorum at the current of
Elorath website which can be found at http://www.StrigoiVii.org or e-mail any ideas to the Synod@StrigoiVii.org. We would love to hear from you!



Your Zhep’r is up to you and only through personal application and
effort will you avoid the Second Death and grasp the Chalice of
Immortality.



The Sanguine Mass has now concluded…





Strigoi Vii: Translated from
Ancient Romanian to mean “Living Vampyre”, refers to the members of the
Family who resonate with the Pact and are “Of the Blood”.



Strigoi Morte: Those who have
ascended beyond the need to exist in flesh alone through the
preservation of the psyche and the self by preventing the Second Death.
They are often addressed as the “Ancients”, “Ancestors” or
“Disembodied”.



Zhep’r: Alternate spelling of Xeper to mean metamorphosis, transformation or becoming.

Ford's knowledge on vampirism is close to nil and thanks for spamming our site!

You do know it is explicitly prohibited to paste copyrighted material from Mr. Ford's books without permission?

LOL! This ritual belongs to Father Sebastiaan and not to Michael W. Ford...

That's even worse! LOL . . . kidding anyway!
Just as long as you don't start posting Don Henrie evocations!

Qlippoth, Sebastiaan would be welcome to join us and discuss with us himself, it is always a pleasure to talk with other minds around here and keep a fresh discussion. However, all that pasting seems more like spam than actual sharing of information or debate. Don't get me wrong, but that's just not the right way to go in here. Pass him along this message, and if he ever wishes to pay us a visit for some information exchange, he will be welcomed by the community.

Qlippoth, the entire so-called ritual is a complete rip off and spin off from the TOV......and then Sebastian added additional wording and other fill in to come up with the entire
show. It is well known all over the internet that this was put together to start his group which then combined with MB for the rolling human vampire show that is nothing but laughable entertainment in the true circles.

No one falls for that crap here. The TOV will not even recogize Sebastian as a guest to discuss anything of substance. Their words " Do not cast pearls before swine".
Your group continued to try to recruit members from the TOV and the effort is laughable, so I see you now are trying to move into this site. Good luck.

Enjoy,

Maxx

Ank,

None of that is from Michael Fords material. Sebastian ripped it off from the Vampire Bible in the beginning and then added more material to pad it......

Heavens to Betsy....Squirrels night out.......I just pulled up a video to view Sebastian.......if he is a Vampire.......I am Santa Claus. This is getting as sick as MB everyplace declaring herself a real author.....unbelievable.

Maxx, no need to insult the man without giving him a chance to speak for himself.
Personally, although I don't know him, I have read on the internet a few articles of Belanger insulting him all over as some raged dog, so that earns some points in his favor. If that girl hates him so much, maybe he is actually someone. lol She has a nasty habit of being against people with knowledge, out of jealousy and to pull herself above. Also out of fear that people may see her crap for what it really is... crap.

Do not be so fast. She is insulting him because he was going with a female she started going with and the two of them got into it because of that. She even went with him for appox. a year until she got what she wanted out of that. Something to do with access to a group. When it was over. Axe him. LOL. So.........It is not what you described.

You know what befuddled me? The word Strigoi, Ford uses that a lot plus when I was researching this 'Mass' I kept finding links to Ford's Apothecary (store).

The Sumerian words don't seem to match up with the English words, not that I am an expert on Sumerian language, but there are quite a few Sumerian dictionaries and glossaries online these days.

Ankhhape, are you referring to "Staota", which is a method of averse summoning.

Also, I see that Sebastian has had false sharp teeth placed by a dentist to make him appear like a fake vampire.

Turns out to fit his motiff to a tee.

Is that the definition of Staota? I thought it was a form of mantra . . . is it an inverted mantra?

I was referring to the actual Sumerian words used in the Mass, for instance the word dark in Sumerian in Malku and I do not find it anywhere in the Sumerian words on that Mass?

Making me think the whole Mass is bogus

Yes, a mantra used in averse summoning......sorry if I was not clear.

For those who are not aware of what we are talking about.....
This is how you would construct a staota working. from M. Ford. well a small part.....not all of it.

If you were conducting a working to gain or develop psychic powers, you would use the SEAL OF AKOMAN and use the appropriate invocations. Before the working, you would assemble some staotas to empower your working. An example is: Okmanosho - Paitishentem (recite 7 times)

then the rest of the ceremony...etc. Staotas are used to empower and charge ritual workings. They are essentially the language of the abyss, the subconscious mind. They hold meaning but the meaning is forgotten during the working - which causes forgetfulness and charges the working.

As far as the wording in the mass above......it would go back to the root word meaning blood.......like sanguinary meaning bloody.

That is very true. We have the best example with Mr. Marques.
