Satanic Wedding
The ritual should be performed during a waxing Moon. The moon should be in a favorable sign for marriage.
- The Moon in Taurus gives permanence, but it can be difficult if the couple wishes to part in the future.
- The Moon in Cancer, gives the likelihood that couples get back together after a split.
- The Moon in Leo is favorable for romance and adds optimism to any union.
- The Moon in Libra is ideal for any wedding, as this is the natural sign for partnership and cooperation.
- The Moon in Sagittarius is much like the Moon in Leo, but does not contribute to stability.
- The Moon in Aquarius gives the likelihood that the couple will be long lasting friends.
- The Moon in Pisces gives empathy but is not stable.
- The Moon in the signs, Aries, Gemini, Virgo, Scorpio and Capricorn should be avoided.
- The love planets, Venus and Mars, should ideally be well placed and in favorable degrees. Couples should never marry when any planet is conjunct Caput Algol (25 degrees of Taurus), at 9 degrees of any sign, especially Gemini and Sagittarius as these incite violence. Remember to take fixed stars into consideration when selecting a time.
The temple should be decorated according to the couple's tastes. Modification should be made to suit each couple, the below is only a guideline.
The High Priest/ess opens the rite with ringing the bell and drawing a pentagram in the air with his/her athame and recites the following:
In Nomine Dei Nostri Satanas, Luciferi Excelsi. In the name of Satan, Ruler of the Earth, True God, Almighty and Ineffable, Who hast created man to reflect in thine own image and likeness, we invite the Forces of Hell to bestow their infernal powers upon us. Come forth to greet us and confer blessings upon this couple who desire to become as one in the eyes of Lucifer.
The High Priest/ess drinks from the chalice and invokes the Four High Crowned Princes of Hell:
- Satan/Lucifer from the East
- Beelzebub from the North
- Astaroth from the West
- Azazel from the South
The High Priest/ess now recites the following:
We come together in the name of our Father and Lord Satan to join and together in marriage.
The High Priest/ess takes his/her athame and draws a circle around the bride and groom.All should visualize a blue light representing the Powers of Hell. He/she then recites the following:
