Introduction
My career as a Satanic Witch began when I was three years old. May 23, 1967 marked the first legal, public Satanic baptism
in history, one year after the founding of the Church of Satan. Since that time I have appeared on numerous talk shows
defending this ritual to people who have been led to believe that Satanists sacrifice babies at the altar, mutilate and murder
animals, turn their daughters into "breeders" and prostitutes, among other preposterous and unfounded accusations. It enrages
me to think that this is all the public is ever exposed to in relation to Satanism.
The time has come for Satanists to define what true Satanism is, uninterrupted by yellow journalists and broken-nosed talk
show hosts. My baptism was indeed the reversal of a Christian baptism. Instead of being dunked into a cold bath by strange,
sexless man to be cleansed of "original sin" we celebrated man and nature as they really are.
As I sat wearing the red robe my mother made that morning, I toyed with the Baphomet amulet dangling around my neck
(this image of the Satanic goat hand-crafted for me by the pioneering survivalist Kurt Saxon, a founding member of the
Church of Satan). Imperiously, I surveyed the sea of black hooded celebrants. It took me a few years to realize that some of
them may have been more fascinated with the naked women sprawled on the altar than with me. The gothic strains of a
Hammond organ echoed against the black and red walls. Calmly chewing on a stick of Trident fruit-flavored gum, I delighted
in being the focal point of all this activity.
My father, the High Priest, raised his ceremonial sword in benediction. I felt a great sense of warmth and respect. How
many people can honestly say they have this feeling at any point in their life? "I have something they don't," I thought
proudly, in keeping with the indulgent philosophy of Satanism. Since that night I understood what it means to be a Satanic
Witch, a woman who makes full use of her feminine wiles. Throughout my life I would reply the words intoned during my
baptism:
The many footed walkers give to you the strength, the power of red fang and claw, all the madly dancing demons fill you
with the lost knowledge of ancient ones. Small sorceress, most natural and true magician, your tiny hands have the power to
pull the living heavens down and from its shards build a monument to your own sweet indulgence ...And with these others in
the devil's fane, you so will cause the heads of men to reel and spin, you will fill them with desire. And so we dedicate your
life to love, to passion, to indulgence, and to Satan and the way of darkness, fane. Hail Zeena! Hail Satan!
In the flurry of publicity that this ritual garnered, I recall one article as being particularly relevant to the underlying
message of The Satanic Witch. In the August 16, 1971 issue of Newsweek a sensationalist essay on Satanism, "Evil
Anyone?" featured a photograph of my baptism with the caption, "Building a Better Race." This caption gave insight to a
previously forbidden theme that can only now be fully explored.
The Satanic Witch, among many other things, is a guide to selective breeding, a manual for eugenics--the lost science of
preserving the able-bodied and able-minded while controlling the surplus population of the weak and incompetent.
Ironically, that same issue of Newsweek featured feminist Gloria Steinem on the cover exemplifying "The New Woman."
It was in this period of gender confusion and bra-burning bravado that The Satanic Witch was first published (under the title
The Compleat Witch). A diabolical textbook reinforcing traditional sex roles and "sexiest" attitudes was viciously attacked in
that shrilly militant, androgynous atmosphere.
As a child I remember feeling that period of time as being completely ass-backwards. Men were becoming emasculated,
women were getting uglier, and adults in general were turning into one indeterminate sex in the name of liberation. Want-to-
be Jimi Hendrixes consorted with would-be Janis Joplins. Unisex and Flower Power blurred the distinction between man and
woman, creating a synthetic composite that represented the worst of both genders. It was probably the worst time and place in
history to be a budding Satanic Witch.
Other, less gutsy witchcraft groups, treading on ground paved by the Church of Satan, came into the limelight and shaped
the public perception on what constituted a witch. Those out for an ersatz, Sunday picnic type of witchcraft flocked to white
witchcraft and Wiccan groups. Church of Satan's witches workshops, on the other hand, encouraged women to exploit their
own most powerful and compelling native resources to achieve their personal goals. With the new pressure to conform to
non-conformity, a Satanic Witch had her work cut out for her. What my father taught at his workshops created true non-
conformists and enchantresses who more resembled Tina Louise and Kim Novak than Margaret Hamilton (who would have
been considered a hot dish in 1969).
The Satanic Witch was designed for women who wanted more control over their lives. A woman could pick up a few
Satanic Witch tips, put them into practice, and have immediate results. The book encouraged women to work with their
femininity rather than against it. But to use all of the soft, womanly qualities one had was to risk being thought of as weak
and a traitor to her gender. To unreservedly manipulate a new breed of cowed, masochistic men was to be considered dirty
and low-down. Yet those who did were the strongest, most determined, interesting women I knew.
I discovered at a very early age that there were facets to human behavior that could not be altered by fads and trends. As a
little witch, I was the only girl in the first grade class who wore a dress. I one of the boys caught a glimpse of my panties, or
lack thereof, as was the accidental case one May Day (the "maypole" fertility celebration of Spring), word spread, and by
recess I had a herd of boys stampeding after me in the schoolyard. Upon returning to class I was greeted with dirty looks
from my female peers who sported the most fashionable pantsuits and boots. I steadily acquired my manipulative skills
through example and osmosis, since the Satanic Witch standards were ever-present in my home.
I was always proud of my mother on my school's open house night. She openly flaunted her witchy attributes and I could
feel the envy of my friends as heads turned when she entered the classroom. If, that year, my teacher was a man, I was treated
with the utmost respect. If my teacher was a woman, however, and her husband happened to be present, I was suddenly
punished for things I didn't do. I began to apprehend the power of sex as a tool.
I was eleven years old when I read The Satanic Witch for the first time. The Salvation Army, Purple Heart, and Goodwill
thrift stores were the only places one could find a nice, tight, figure flattering dress or skirt, so that's where I did my clothes
shopping. I spent endless hours watching old movies or locked in my room buried in magazines from the '30s, '40s and '50s
borrowed from my father. I was anxious to test some of the theories that I now knew more about.
I developed early and was already busty for my age, so it was easy to exercise one of the "secrets of indecent exposure" by
simply overlooking the button that would periodically pop open if my blouse was too tight. My best friend's brother and his
pals were conditioned, like Pavlov's dogs, to have all eyes on my chest whenever I walked in the room. My friend teased me
all the time and I, of course, pleaded innocent.
I gave more thought to "choosing an image." I was naturally influenced by well-known role models like Mae West,
Marilyn Monroe and Lauren Bacall, but the one whose image I couldn't get out of my head was the '40s queen of kink, Betty
Page. I was four years old when I first saw her in one of my father's men's magazines standing solo in full dominatrix regalia.
She had a cute, impish face that really didn't seem very appropriate to her costume, but as the saying goes, "first impressions
are the lasting ones."
My father taught me how to crack a bullwhip at nine, so by the time I was eleven I was already attracting boys who needed to
be told what to do (a recurring theme throughout my life). Seeming much older than my years and going out with guys who
were older still, it should come as no surprise that I became pregnant at thirteen and delivered my son, Stanton, at fourteen. I
viewed the lifestyle of other teenagers with disenchantment; consequently, with the responsibility of raising my son came a
freedom my peers were not privy to. I was now a woman.
I was warned by distant relatives that if I kept my baby, life would be rough. No one would want to date me for fear of
being coerced into stepfatherhood. But as "the devil's daughter," a teenager with living proof of her carnal knowledge, I put
the formulas from The Satanic Witch to good use. I made myself versatile enough to attract different people for different
purposes. Everything from married lawyers and policemen twenty years my senior to juvenile delinquents and bikers who
volunteered to kill anyone who bothered me.
In the '70s, when in my mid-teens, I fully realized the destructive results of the "women's movement." The ruins manifested
in everything from clothing styles that encouraged asexuality or bisexuality, exemplified by entertainers like David Bowie
and Cher. I would nearly vomit each time I was serenaded with horrible portrayals of modern witchcraft like E.L.O.'s "Evil
Women," Eagles' "Witchy Woman," or Santana's "(Gotta) Black Magic Women." By the time everything deteriorated to the
lowest common denominator, The Satanic Witch was yanked out of the bookstores, never to be reprinted, until now.
As a Satanic consultant, I have had to re-educate many a newcomer to the true meaning of witchcraft, a meaning opposed
to the pervasive Wiccan "good witch" syndrome. I have even grown to dislike the word "witch" after years of having to
tolerate its misuse by so many hypocritical fence-straddlers, stuck between the God-fearing Christian ethos and their
Satanophobia.
Women, as in every critical time in our history, are at the forefront of the culture storm now breaking. The woman who
grasps and fully understands the mastery of the world inherent in this book's Satanic teachings will usher in a true feminism:
the liberation of the demonic in every woman.

Prologue
After reading a few pages of this book, many will feel it to be a treatise on man-catching. This is understandable enough as
considerable emphasis is placed on the mundane and occult manipulation of men.
But there is a good reason for this. Whether or not a witch needs any man other than the one she has currently chosen is
relatively unimportant. What is important, however, lies in the fact that if a woman wants anything in life, she can obtain it
easier through a man than another woman, despite woman liberationists' bellows to the contrary.
The truly "liberated" female is the compleat witch, who knows both how to use and enjoy men. Any bitter and disgruntled
female can rally against men, burning up her creative and manipulative energy in the process. She will find the energies she
expends in her quixotic cause would be put to more rewarding use, where she to profit by her womanliness by manipulating
the men she holds in contempt, while enjoying the ones she finds stimulating. It's pretty hard to lose, using such tactics.
If she really prides herself on being a woman, she will take full advantage of her station. And the advantages are surely
there, if she is bold enough to employ them!
A worthwhile man can be your greatest ally, and even one that is a pompous ass can sometimes be your most productive
quarry. Even a man who is virtually devoid of any attributes other than his overt lust for yourself.
One of my greatest mentors was the late Sir Basil Zaharoff, Chevalier of the Legion of Honor, Knight of the British
Empire, procurer of beautiful women, arms merchant, Satanist and the original Daddy Warbucks. Perhaps Sir Basil best
understood the formula that I wish to impress upon my witches. Man to man, his advice was brutally simple: "Women are the
best allies. They can make a man do what you yourself alone can never convince him is the best policy." For every man there
lurks an ideal pattern for a woman. Most men do not even know she is there. She must be served, however, and in order to
complete a man's need to fulfill the woman within him, he will see a woman that walks the earth, and not recognizing that
woman to be the counterpart of the one within, will be compelled to her. If you know how to imitate the woman a man carries
within himself, you may have anything you wish that another human can supply.
If you have a score of 7 to 9 correct answers, there is hope for you as a competent witch. If you scored 10 to 12, you are
well on your way to sorcery, and if you got all 13 possible answers correct, you are truly gifted.
We are living in the only period in history in which it is considered fashionable to be a witch. Given this complete public
acceptance, an understandable tendency towards fadism develops. The once-stigmatizing label of "witch" has become a title
of positive intrigue and has attained a status never before realized.
But this marks a considerable transition in the image of the witch. The biblical warnings against witches were such that it
meant torture and death for anyone accused of the heresy of witchcraft. The Middle Ages was the worst period in history for
a person to be accused of sorcery. However, the only similarity to today's witch is the glamorous appearance that some of the
condemned women of the witch trials possessed. It is quite obvious from the charges leveled against many innocent girls that
their only crime was in being sexually appealing.
Most of the beauties who suffered at the hands of the inquisitors were tormented because they refused to succumb to the
right people or were too quick to give in to the wrong ones. Many men who lusted after such women because so guilt-ridden
that they would denounce them out of fear that they would fall from grace in the eyes of God. Of course, the most successful
witches were usually sleeping with the inquisitors and were never even considered to be witches. Successful as they might
be, however, they could never openly take pride in their witcheries, for to do so would mean certain death.
Centuries later, the image of the witch was held exclusively by the old crone, who might not have feared arrest of
persecution but certainly wasn't the type to be invited to cocktail parties. Only the ugly, grotesque, solitary and unpleasant
carried the name of "witch." This tradition was so strong that to be referred to as a "witch" was an insult only a few short
years ago. Now, countless women are coyly boasting about being witches. In fact, one of the reasons I decided to write this
book was the prevalence of what sociologist Marcello Truzzi refers to as the "Nouveau Witch."* With so many witches
roaming the earth, how can one tell the real ones from the false? It is as if everyone who ever removed a splinter from their
finger were to go about proclaiming themselves surgeons! Surely there must be a means of defining and maintaining
standards of witchcraft. Granted, there are no universities which are accredited in giving degrees in enchantments. Even if
there were such places of learning, which soon there might be, the same problem of proving one's worth would remain as
with any liberal arts course. The art student who has graduated from college with honors can usually land a good commercial
or teaching position upon leaving school but not necessarily paint any better than an artist who has never come near an art
class but still possesses the highest artistic ability.
In any pursuit which deals with talent as an important factor towards success, academic or official licensing is of secondary
importance. What is of prime importance is the result which is obtained through the use of the medium and how it is received
by those to whom it is directed. Pedigrees are of questionable importance when the dog is sleeping while the burglar makes
off with the silver. Nor do they help your legal defense when the mailman is bitten. Likewise, it is useless to have a
grandmother who read tea leaves and a Scorpio rising in your chart, if you can't land a boyfriend, keep a husband, get a job or
avoid pregnancy.
The most common credential used by modern witches is inherited ability, followed closely by "proper" astrological signs.
Names and birth numbers of a suitable nature are
---------
* Marcello Truzzi, The Occult Revival as Popular Culture: Some Random Observations on the Old and the Nouveau Witch
often employed as testimony to one's ability as a witch, and an exaggerated assumption of E.S.P. powers sustains many a
would-be witch's delusions of magical prowess. Other claims to fame include unobtrusive birth marks and blemishes that
may be used as evidence of a "witch's mark," unusual conditions at birth, such as the presence of a "veil" and the ever present
revelations of older and wiser (and shrewder!) "gifted" readers, whose extremely profitable stock-in-trade is to tell young
girls of their latent magical powers.
With all these apparently sound reasons proclaiming one's right to witchcraft, small wonder there are so many witches
around nowadays! What, then, is the definitions of a true witch? I don't see any reason to readily discount the movie and TV
image of the witch, because I think whatever popular image is most flattering should be utilized and sustained whenever
possible. People will believe what they want to believe, and the current image of a witch is the most intriguing and glamorous
that has yet t o appear. Just because every girl who calls herself a witch cannot do the things witches are seen to do on
television shows does not mean that she should not take advantage of the public's assumption that she can!
To be sure, there are many who view the witch as a member of an old and pagan religion, more concerned with her beliefs
than with her powers. No matter how many words have been written by the spokesmen of the "white witches," however, it is
apparent that the public likes their witches to be cast in a fairly standardized image, and this is what it is: (1) The witch is a
WOMAN. Men are called warlocks. (2) The witch is usually a wretched looking old crone with warts on her nose or an
extremely sexy girl. (3) The witch has made a pact with the Devil and through rituals dedicated to him gains her power. (4)
She is often blessed with a family heritage of sorcery in one form or another. (5) She has the power to get what she wants. (6)
She has the facility to cloud men's minds and make simpering idiots out of them. (7) She destroys her rivals through the use
of curses, thrown without mercy. (8) She has an intuitive capacity which allows her to size up a given person or situation
before she proceeds further. (9) She has a familiar in the form of a pet. (10) She knows formulas for various concoctions
which she gives to visiting gentlemen. In these qualities will be found a composite picture of the modern witch, whether she
be beautiful or ugly.
Now, let us explore each ingredient and see how really accurate this description can be ... And how you can become a
witch in this image ...
1. The witch is a woman. Well, you are a woman, so there's no problem here!
2. The witch is either a wretched old crone with warts on her nose or an extremely sexy girl. Are you ugly? If so, you
qualify. If you're not ugly enough to make people stare at you, then you are able to be an extremely sexy girl. You'll just have
to sacrifice some deep-rooted notions and violate a few taboos ... which brings us to
3. The witch has made a pact with the Devil and through rituals dedicated to Him gains her power. In order to be a
successful witch, one does have to make a pact with the Devil, at least symbolically. She must recognize her very earthly
heritage and realize she is working on that level at all times. She must worship the Luciferian element of pride within her,
knowing full well that it is her honest ego that impels her to learn the arts of enchantment in the first place. She must also
realize that she has become a witch. A strong and non-hypocritical realization of this factor, occasionally pondered, is a
potent ritual in its own right.
4. She is often blessed with a family heritage of sorcery in one form or another. Everyone inherits something from their
forebearers that can be applied as a successful legacy. If your parents were good-looking, you may have inherited their looks.
If they were ugly, you may have a fearsome appearance (sometimes kindly referred to by friends or relatives as
"distinctive").* Someone along the line may have had a particular talent in music or art which you have received. Even if you
don't know who your parents were, you still will inherit whatever qualities run concurrent to competent sorcery, but not be
bogged down by assuming stereotyped but useless legacies.
5. She has the power to get what she wants. Though the proper balance, the willingness to temporarily adapt to certain
situations (rudely called "prostituting oneself" or "selling out") and a little patience; many are witches without even knowing
it!
6. She has the facility to cloud men's minds and make simpering idiots out of them. If you have the guts to follow the
advice contained herein, this should be the easiest part.
7. She destroys her rivals through the use of curses, thrown without mercy. The only way a curse can be thrown is without
mercy, and the power of the curse is most effective. If yo9u are without guilt at having feelings of animosity, there is no
reason why you cannot throw a curse and make it work.
8. She has an intuitive capacity which allows her to size up a given person or situation before she proceeds further. Those
who cannot put their finger on the reasons they feel as they do about certain people or situations, but nevertheless are guided
by such feelings, call it "intuition." Alas, in altogether too many cases intuition turns out to be wrong. When we cease
depending on half-baked intuition and combine intuitive thinking with certain conscious formulas for recognition, we can
literally keep "one jump ahead" of what is about to happen.
9. She has a familiar in the form of a pet. An animal, bird, snake, fish or even plant that "tells no tales" is an essential
ingredient towards the smooth-running living conditions of the successful witch.
10. She knows formulas for various concoctions which she gives to visiting gentlemen. Well, if you haven't guessed
already, this means that if you can't cook, you'd better learn (except in the case of the very masculine which who would
specialize in kitchen-oriented males). Commonplace skills are essential

* Dr. Sandor Feldman (see bibliography) relates the following anecdote: While two men were walking along, one of them
called the other's attention to a little boy coming from the opposite direction. The boy had an enormous distorted head. He
was hydrocephalic. The first man said, my son." The first, trying to save the situation, hastily added, "It suits him well."
Aside from the tricks of the movie or TV witch, usually accomplished with special techniques, there is no reason why any
girl who puts her mind to it and learns the proper methods cannot become a full-fledged witch in accord with the popular
conception. Only those who either do not know the means to success or are too stubborn to use them, once having been told,
will persist in defining themselves as witches by using the sanctimonious definitions of so-called "white witches" working for
"the benefit of mankind." There will always be those who, furtively desiring personal power but unable to do anything about
gaining it, will devise their own definitions of what a witch should be like, seeing to it, of course, that their definition fits
themselves.
The "white witch" is the by-product of an emergence in England of an above-ground witchcraft interest at a time when
witchcraft was still technically illegal. In order to pursue the "craft" without harassment and prosecution, the spokesman for
witchcraft attempted to legitimize and justify what they were doing by proclaiming the existence of "white" witchcraft.*
"White" witchcraft, it was stated, was simply a belief in the religion of the old wise ones, or "wicca." The use of herbs,
charms and healing spells was only employed for beneficial purposes.
It was to be believed that the kind of witches that were dangerous to have around were "black" witches. These were
supposedly evil in their pursuits and worshipped Satan. The fact that the "good" or "white" witches employed a horned god in
their ceremonies was justified because it "doesn't represent the Devil!"
Of course, no one admitted to practicing witchcraft ceremonies of any kind. Anything that was associated with witchcraft
was pursued in the name of "study" or "research." This was the climate in England between 1936 and 1951.
With the repeal of English witchcraft laws in 1951, all of the underground witches started creeping to the surface, and as
their eyes became accustomed to the light of sudden legality, they ventured forth. Unused to such freedom and heavy with the
stigma of illegality, they went about shouting "white witchcraft" even louder than ever, as if expecting at any moment to be
snared by a heretic hook.
About this time, interest in the occult was becoming popular in the U.S., so naturally attention was focused on the British
Isles with its rich heritage in all matters ghostly and fanciful. As might have been expected, newly emerged English witches
saw the U.S. as a fertile stamping ground for safe recognition of their "witchiness." Concurrent with the first post-war
writings out of England came the first diplomats of witchdom, and America was more than curious. Having no other
literature but Margaret Murray, Montague Summers and Dennis Wheatley to read, it was assumed the new revelations by
Gerald Gardiner and his followers were the straightest stuff available.
"White witch" became a definitive term, and thousands who wouldn't touch the practice of witchcraft with a ten-foot
broomstick found a conscience-redeeming opportunity to follow the "art" by using the new rules of the game. Regardless of
what these people would like to believe, the image of the witch had been stigmatized for centuries. All witches were
considered to be agents of the Devil, antagonistic to scriptural teachings, and a direct part of the dark side of nature. As there
is always a relative outlook as to what is good and what is evil, once witchcraft emerged from its "all evil" state into neutral
territory, a differentiation was bound to occur. The righteous, of course, will always wear the mantle of "good," "white light,"
"spiritual" and varying shades of holiness.
An analogy might be made concerning "white" and "black" witches. Let us assume that warfare had, for centuries, been
called "wholesale murder" and the men who fought called "murderers." One day it was decided that there was something
quite noble and dignified about this old activity of wholesale murder. All the murderers, basking in the light of new-found
legitimacy, began calling themselves "good murderers." The enemy's troops, of course, were the "bad murderers." The stigma
of the word, "murderer," still remained, but at least the good murderers felt a little more at ease. Now, maybe these murderers
always had a fairly legitimate reason for going into battle. Maybe they succeeded in saving their homeland from that which
threatened it. They might have even had a scholar among them who had traced the origin of the word "murder" to an ancient
word which meant "mother." But the fact remained, "murder" was still a negative term in the publics mind. So instead of
simply revelling in their subsequent acceptance by the public, their guilts, brought about by long years of stigma, necessitated
their placing of the word "good" in front of "murderer" as a sort of self-reassurance that they were doing the right thing!
Whenever a girl becomes a "white witch," you know she is either kidding herself or has much to learn.

* The term "white witchcraft" was first used by William Seabrook in his book, Witchcraft, its Power in the World Today.
Another of the most commonly employed self-convincers in the world of witchcraft is the drug scene. After a formidably
productive experience under the influence of an hallucinogenic drug there is often a profound assumption of mystical or
power.
The assumption is, of course, confined solely to the user of the drug, but let no one attempt to deter her from her
chemically produced reality! If one has sought magical power or mystical wisdom and has experienced an extremely sound
enchantment through the use of the drug, chances are, she'll look no further. If she does explore new facets of occultism,
however, no experience will quite come up to that which the drug has supplied, so, therefore, the drug will become the
criteria-producing device for her self-assumed prowess.
Let me state categorically at this point that drugs are antithetical to the practice of magic, as they tend to disassociate the
user from reality, even though he oftentimes thinks himself closer. It is true that many drugs expand the consciousness, but,
in so doing, they make it much more difficult for a person to become selective in thoughts and motivations. In magic, it is
imperative that one be able to narrow down his various awareness to one compelling desire towards which a ritual is
performed. When the use of drugs has allowed the mind to run rampant over such "narrow-minded" traits, something very
meaningful is lost.
The ideal witch must be able to be singular of purpose, when the need arises, and dogged narrow-mindedness has its just
place in the ritual chamber where stubborn emotion must hold forth. Any soma-producing chemical or device negates such an
"up-tight" quality. In reality, the more uptight one is when he enters the ritual chamber, the better. With a lack of hang ups,
comes a lack of strong emotional response to the very situations often needed to generate the force necessary to throw your
spell. The "free," dreamy -eyed, "beautiful person" type is often the first to call herself a witch but actually is the antithesis of
the real thing.
An argument might be given that it is okay to use drugs but not when one is casting spells. This is like commenting on the
problem of drunkenness and alcoholism by saying it's all right to drink but not when you're driving. There are many people
who are rotten drivers who never touch a drop, and, conversely, many whose lives are ruined by booze who ride buses. The
effects of drugs upon the witch are only definable by the success shown by a witch outside her drug-oriented peer group.
A common phenomenon nowadays is the prevalence of "witches" involved in the drug scene. The prowess claimed by such
would-be sorceresses centers around their in-group activities and not the outside world. One such witch approached me
recently, saying she had just performed a great magical working. It seems she had driven her car on the freeway after taking a
rather large dose of LSD. Feeling very "magical," she drove across an oncoming six lanes of traffic with sufficient "magical
power" to bring each of the speeding cars to a halt! She was totally convinced that her abilities as a witch were responsible
for her immunity. When I told her that her safety had been insured by the quick reflexes and sound brakes of the other
drivers, it went one ear and out the other.
Another young "witch" had been at a social gathering where marijuana in conjunction with various drugs was being used.
My informant stated emphatically that during the course of the evening's activities she had seen someone who glowed with
such a "radiant aura" that she approached him with the "magical" intention of lighting her "joint" from his "radiance." She
swore that as she held her marijuana cigarette up to his face, it miraculously glowed alive. Now I have heard all the old gags
about one drunk lighting his cigarette from the glow of the other drunk's nose, but never thought I'd hear its contemporary
parallel told with a straight face and as a portentously serious account of the powers of witchcraft!
The confusing thing about all this is that we are now living in a climate of occult popularity where such experiences are not
relegated to the wards of mental institutions.
For those whose mental imbalance is drug induced and even temporary, a fertile environment for such periodic "miracles"
exists. It is but a short step to the employment of such "magical" experiences towards a pedigree for witchery.
Combine the effects of drugs with the search for a religion to supplant one which has never held much meaning, and you
will arrive at a need to believe, which is strengthened by readily obtainable miracles which can ultimately fulfill that need.
Hence, an unswerving faith in magic can be readily manufactured even as it was accomplished by the same means by the
shamans of primitive societies but not a proficiency in the practice of magic.
I you are to be a successful witch, faith helps, but it takes a good deal more. If, however, you do not plan on practicing
witchcraft but only believing in it, use all the drugs you like.
Choose an Image
Whether a witch is married or single, she should discover the image that she most naturally and effortlessly represents as a
sort of "home base."
Everyone has a stereotyped counterpart that turns up whether in a movie, TV show, novel, comic strip or other form of
popular media. You owe it to yourself to ride on the coattails of the established visual image that most resembles you . We
see this game played every time a popular female personality is emulated by multitudes of women, who can find similarity in
their own appearance, however slight. The knowing witch always capitalizes on the physical typing that has been set up for
her or chooses one she feels she can throw herself into. There is an old saying, "If you have the Devil's name, you should play
the Devil's game," and if people constantly give you clues to your proper image by telling you who or what you resemble,
take it form there.
If you are thin, with raven hair and dark eyes and your face is rather long and angular, you should capitalize on the vampire
theme and do all you can to hint at that image. If you find people always wanting to help you and taking a protective attitude
towards you, utilize a naive and innocent appearance and bearing to your advantage. If you have a "mean" look and attract
meek men, then do all you can to look meaner! Be a veritable whip and leather type. If you're getting on in years and have a
nose like a potato with a body to match, don't kid yourself into thinking that a facial vacuum and losing forty pounds will turn
you into a seductress. Instead, get yourself a couple of cats, fill your house full of weird bric-a-brac, learn to make cookies,
and let it be known you're a witch! Soon you'll have more worthwhile male friends than you ever would have in your
personality-less attempt at rejuvenation. If you're truly grotesque, with a fact that would stop ten clocks and a voice like a
klaxon, turn yourself into a real hag-monster and have fun scaring the Hell out of people!
In many instances stereotypes are based on very real personality traits that are relevant to the appearance presented.
Consequently, a witch who chooses an image most conducive to her ready-made appearance is likely to find herself revelling
in a very comfortable role. This doesn't mean that a witch must go through life playing only one role simply because she has
been stereotyped into it. It all depends on your acting ability, especially when it comes to make-up and facial mannerisms.
Any successful witch must be a good actress.
Unfortunately, too many would-be witches who consider themselves to be good actresses wind up playing all the wrong
parts! The role that is the most appealing is often the one that is represented by the "inner" or "hidden" side of one's nature.
We see this all the time in the large, dominant looking, glamorous "Amazon" type who tries to act the part of a demure and
naive little girl--especially when drunk! We also observe this in the frail looking, helpless appearing, wide-eyed little creature
who always seems to be yelling the loudest and stirring up the most trouble. These are both common examples of
unsuccessful witches whose lack of opportunity lies in their refusal to "feed back," even temporarily, what their appearance
implies. They are living counterparts of the old cliché, "To look at her you'd think she was... but just wait 'til she opens her
mouth!"
True, there are times when it serves a witch well to disarm her quarry by acting completely different from what is expected
of her, but these are specialized cases that will be discussed later in this book.
The general rule is to become a "package deal," thereby allowing the person you are bewitching to think that they have you
all figured out. This may seem a bit dismal to you who have assumed that a "witchy" type must always appear enigmatic, but
I have observed that the most frustrated, unsuccessful witches are those who work at ambiguity rather than "type-casting"
themselves. The only type of witch that can get away with an enigmatic image is the "femme fatale" who has a naturally
strange or unusual appearance. Needless to say, the type usually attempting the most mysterious image is the most un-
mysterious looking to start with!
Choose an image that goes easiest with your outward appearance and take full advantage of all that has gone before to
further establish that image. There is nothing wrong with being type-cast if you can make it work for you!
Temperament
Going back to the synthesizer clock as we start at one o'clock, we find the person who is dominant by nature, didactic, and
with an inquiring mind, becoming even more mental as two o'clock approaches. With two, however, some of the social
affabilities diminish, and by the time three is reached, we find an inclination towards haughtiness and cynicism. These people
are the least agreeable when it comes to accepting anything at face value and are seldom "joiners." As they are thinkers,
rather than doers, there are few absolutes in their lives. Consequently, these three and four o'clock types are the most mystical
and abstract in their thoughts. If their Demonic element is allowed to express itself, however, through a non-human vehicle,
such as poetry, music, art--great works can be accomplished often than any other, and the typical "egghead" is a pure four
o'clock.
Five o'clock types are less abstract and more practical and have the quality of being able to stick with things providing the
going doesn't get too rough. For this reason they are admirably suited to office roles and clerical work. Steady and
dependable, they have the flexibility necessary to keep going day after day. Even more consistent is the six o'clock person. In
fact, he is the most consistent on the clock. Devotion to cause and duty is the hallmark of the six o'clock type, and he takes
great pride in his promptness. These are the men who stay on a job for so long that everything in the firm depends on their
presence. These are the women who stay with husbands that other women on the clock would discard. If a six o'clock man
strays from his wife, you may be sure it is another woman's fault--invariably one from the tope of the clock.
Seven o'clock persons retain much of the qualities of the six, but with more social inclination, and by the time eight is
reached, the emphasis is on doing rather than thinking. The eight and nine o'clock types have little use for hairsplitting debate
and will most likely interject a humorous comment whenever the going gets too serious.
The most agreeable and socially likeable eights and nines give up some of these qualities to the ten o'clock type but still
have the monopoly. By the time then is reached, the assertive temperament of the top half of the clock is brought to bear. The
need to dominate presents itself, and affability is often sacrificed. The ten o'clock type has no use for "eggheads," but
ironically his best buddy is probably a slightly sallow four o'clock, whose introspection is "overlooked" by the ten o'clock.
Likewise, his wife is probably a not-too-domestic slender four o'clock girl, who does his thinking for him.
Eleven o'clocks are the stereotyped "he-men" whose authoritarian natures are only excelled by the twelve o'clock, who
must be the head man in whatever he does, either constantly or at least periodically. Therefore, authority positions are filled
by twelve o'clocks who, because of their needs to be noticed, are always the pioneers in any new undertaking. Whatever they
start, it is up to good six o'clock men to keep it running.
General Properties
Starting at twelve, we find broad shoulders and back, large rib cage, but not necessarily large breasts in women. If the
breasts are large, the chest will be also. In a woman who is 5'8" one may find a forty-two inch bust with a "B" cup, whereas
the three o'clock girl might have a thirty-five inch bust with a "D" cup. This is because the basic frame of the twelve o'clock
woman is wedge shaped, while the three o'clock straightens out. Slim hips will be seen on both men and women of this
category, in fact, the slimmest on the clock.
In keeping with the wedge shape, the proportions will be overbalanced on the top half of the body, so that if the person is
seated, he will always appear taller than he is. Seen from the waist down, they will always appear shorter. They are often
extremely long waisted and short-legged. The reason it is easy to assume them to be athletic types is because (especially in
men) they have the facility of always being able to pull their stomachs in and look as though they have been exercising very
rigorously! Actually, the majority of real athletes fall into the two to four and eight to ten positions, depending on their choice
of sport.
To the right of twelve, we find the chest becomes narrower but just as deep. To the left of twelve, the chest becomes
shallower but sometimes wider. If twelve o'clock people gain weight, it will show first in the torso, rather than the legs, the
gain manifested itself in the belly and gluteal region but not readily noticeable except in profile.
As we move towards one o'clock, and the chest narrows, by the time three is reached the torso has shortened
proportionately and the legs lengthened. The field of fashion modeling draws from this category, as the women occupying it
are almost straight up and down with a slight tendency to be slimmer below than above. Weight is not easily gained, and the
nervous temperament burns up calories fast. If any weight should be gained or lost, it will be immediately noticed in the face,
with a few scant pounds making the difference between a sunken, drawn look or a puffy appearance.
The four o'clock has virtually no waist and when tall is the traditional beanpole. Short four o'clocks, if inclined at all
towards stoutnes s in later years, resemble little fat tree trunks. Three and four o'clock men who wish to develop their
physiques must engage in a strict muscle-building regimen. They will probably never get fat but certainly must work to put
on weight and it must be in the form of muscle. If the shoulders are to be broadened, the chest enlarged, the biceps
developed, it must be through exercise in those particular areas, for the frame itself is not conducive to such enlargement.
Hence, the compensation of the "ninety-seven pound weakling" stigma often results in some very grotesque muscle
development resembling balloon-like appendages. The solitary nature of most three and four o'clocks is certainly conducive
to the needed hours spent in gymnasiums, on teeter boards, jogging, rowing, cycling, etc.
As we round the bottom of the clock, weight starts to develop without trying, and at five o'clock care must be taken to keep
weight off! By this point of the clock, the stick-like verticals have bulged at the sides forming an ellipse with the ideal Lunar
or Vensuian form at the sex o'clock position. Narrow shoulders, wide hips and thighs, long legs and short torso characterize
the perfect six o'clock. If mermaids lived, they would all be six o'clocks, for they are as much synonymo us with the fluidic
quality of the six as the twelve is forged in fire.
Crab-like, the six o'clock is flat and wide, the abdomen and buttocks often disproportionately flat in comparison to the
width of the pelvic area. Astrologers would be quick to call this the pure Cancerian type. The first place to gain weight and
the last place to lose it are the outer upper thighs. Even with excess weight however, the waist can still be sucked in
disproportionately owing to natural tendency towards abdominal flatness, which is a holdover from the beanpole four
o'clocks, or if you prefer to come round from the other direction, a loss of stuffing from the sausage eight o'clocks.
As seven o'clock approaches, we see a bit more protruding from the rear end and tummy, and by eight o'clock, the torso has
thickened, the waist lengthened, the legs shortened, until we see our "Teddy bear" nine o'clock. His solid body is usually
accompanied by a face which is inclined towards rotundity. In fact, eight and nine o'clocks will always enjoy their food and
must fight to stay slim. They gain weight in the legs, torso--in fact, just about all over! And the last place they will ever lose
weight will be in the face. If a jovial, round-eight-thirty type man dropped from 250 to 140 pounds, his face would look little
changed, even though he now resembled a lollipop.
The solid, husky fullback is often a nine o'clock, and if he can avoid eating his own food when he opens his restaurant after
his retirement from football, he might still look good at fifty. The eight and nine o'clock gals are the type Kretschmer used to
glorify as the "real woman" Pyknic types. The most "earthly" farm stock, socially gregarious, PTA going, Kewpie doll, with
round hips, round breasts, round bottom--in short, round all over--fits this classification. Years ago Esquire magazine
published an edifying article attesting to the fact that "Pyknics are more fun."
By the time we reach ten o'clock, the hips have slimmed, the shoulders widened, the legs shortened and the Playboy
princess appears on the horizon with her counterpart, King Kong, holding her in his arms.
Sexual Proclivities
The woman most prone to stereotyped lesbian activities is the twelve o'clock. The man most likely to fit the established
image of the homo sexual is the six o'clock. All types, however, have their respective homosexual counterparts. This simply
implies that a twelve woman and a six man are ideally suited for sexual interchange and often are transsexuals. When a sex-
change operation is performed, it is most complete and successful in these individuals.
Six o'clock professional female impersonators are the rule, whereas the "closet queen" transvestite usually appears in the
secret practices of the eleven o'clock truck driver or twelve o'clock movie idol, who couldn't look more ridiculous in his
sequined cocktail dress and spike heels!
The most sexually receptive persons fall between five and nine. The most aggressive in their sex drives are between nine
and one. These are also the most openly exhibitionistic in a flagrant and contrived manner. Because they are social by nature,
they want to be noticed more than the others on the clock.
The least sensual types are between one and five o'clock. The most successful (and frigid) prostitutes are one and two
o'clocks. The person most likely to perform sex for spiritual enlightenment, protest, or not at all in the three or four o'clock.
Here we find the typical hippie, with clothes carefully chosen to either conceal the figure completely or render it as
unappealing as possible to all except others in the same peer group. Old beatnik and older bohemian types have always
striven to find the latest style in burlap, war-surplus, Indian blankets, etc. for their apparel. Men of this grouping are the least
concerned about sexual attraction by way of clothing; yet understandably, people who fall into this category will be the first
to show their "freedom" by taking off all their clothes.
Seventy-five percent of the people you see featured in nudist magazines or girlie pictorials showing indelicately exposed
genitalia are in this section of the clock. When the five to nine is exposed it is because he is drunk and doesn't know his pants
are unzipped. The woman in the five to nine group always seem to have a way of exposing themselves without really trying
and are experts in the art covered by the chapter, "Secrets of Indecent Exposure."
To simplify matters, it all boils down to this: When it comes to sex, nine to ones do it because they want to, one to fives do
it for a purpose and five to nines do it because they can't help it!
Here are some additional pointers: The man who is the typical conventioneer and who seeks out play-for-pay gals is the
eight or nine o'clock type and is usually the best salesman. Naturally, the gals who will accommodate him will be pro's from
the two or three o'clock grouping, unless he should find a "social-minded" streetwalker from the ten o'clock group. Of course,
she won't be nearly so appealing as she is closer to his own type. As a last resort, the visiting sales manager might even take a
tipsy seven o'clock housewife, who is out from Madison, Wisconsin visiting her sister. She is staying at the same hotel as he,
and , not tired enough to go to sleep, stepped into the cocktail lounge as she walked through the lobby. After downing one
drink, she was well on her way to losing her inhibitions. The next day she felt terribly ashamed of herself, and he felt it was
okay, but he could have done better!
The fact that the five to nine o'clock girl is the most submissive sexually gives the long-legged six and seven o'clocks the
best swivel-hipped dance movement.
Ballerinas, who are on a more esthetic plane, move closer to five o'clock. The stiff and contorted spasms engaged in by
"modern" dancers is exemplified by the three and four o'clocks. Their lack of carnal sexuality is shown in their dance
movements, which, in keeping with the "air" influence, are of a flying nature. The body remains relatively motionless, while
the arms and legs flail about, sometimes resembling attempts to fly, sometimes to thrust away the "attacker," sometimes
appearing as violent protest and always implying a "fleeing to freedom."
Contrast this with the erotic dance forms taken by the other long-legged dancers who occupy the lower half of the clock. If
three and four wish to repel sexual advances and fly away, not so with eight and nine. These wiggly earthworms will be
inclined to hold their arms close to the body, limit their leg-thrashings, and rotate their bodies like mad! The arm and hand
movements will imply a "pulling in" and "clutching to" and, in keeping with the "earth" influence, the dancer often resembles
a groundhog "digging in."
Because the six o'clock is the longest-legged and comprises a "swimming" compromise between the flying of the four and
the digging of the eight, she will often steal the show. The most "perfect" female sexually-interpretive dance forms have been
those best preformed by six o'clocks through the ages. The Hawaiian hula and the Near Eastern nautch or "belly" dance are
prime examples. The most proficient exponents I have ever seen of the grass skirt and finger cymbal school of dance, as well
as bump and grind artistry, have been almost "pure" six o'clocks.
When we move up to the top half of the clock, we find the spirit is willing but the flesh is weak, when it comes to dance
forms as we know the. Being on the "masculine" half of the circle gives one more of an ability to strut rather than dance. It is
for this reason that drum majorettes are usually ten and eleven o'clocks, who do a great job with a baton and "let's give the
little lady a big hand." When one of them tires of the grange hall and goes to the city to get a job dancing in a topless club (as
these large-chested types often do!), she invariably is much more appreciated for her mammaries than her movements. The
twelve o'clock witch would best stay off the dance floor but confine her rhythmic motions to jungle priestess routines where
her leopard skins and whip will be appreciated!
The worst natural dancers (who are usually wise enough not to try) are the cerebrally inclined, short-legged antisocial one
and two o'clocks.
Incidentally, the higher up on the clock you are, the rougher time you will have coping with your periods. Also, the more
you will be unfavorably influenced by the full moon. The lower you are on the clock, the better you will function during a
full moon!
Sense of Humor
The degrees and type of humor are governed a great deal by the position one holds on our clock. Those with the highest
developed sense of humor dwell within the eight to ten o'clock sector. These people can truly enjoy a funny situation without
analyzing it. The most dour and humorless types are the two to fours. Whenever we see a comedian who uses comedy as a
vehicle for bitter social criticism, he falls into this classification. The most responsive audiences are the five to nine types.
Nine to ones must be able to identify themselves with the performer before they can appreciate him. And one to fives spend
more time analyzing what is before them than experiencing it. Almost all critics are one to five types. Famous comedy teams
like Laurel and Hardy, Abbott and Costello, etc. are usually two/eight or three/nine relationships.
Naturally, if you want to really get obvious, an out-and-out man’s name can be used, thinly disguised, such as Georgie,
Frankie, Tommie, Bobby, Freddie, Billy, Etc. If has long been a predilection of young girls to nickname their best friends
with male variants of existing names, e.g., Winifred = Freddy rather than the more feminine “Winnie.” In such cases where
the root name was a man’s, the nickname will be a reversion to the original male name as in many of those previously
mentioned. This is nothing more than an unconscious manifestation of the Demonic element.
Ideal names for witches who are either within or playing the role of the three to nine grouping are many. Here is a sample
list with the “borderline” names (marked with an asterisk) that can be safely employed by women in any position on the
clock:
Adelle* Dixie* Lois
Alice Donna Loralee
Alicia Doris Louise
Angela Dorothy* Lynn
Anita Earline Margie
Anne Eileen Marilyn
Annette Elaine* Marla
Arlene Erin* Marlene
Babette Eve* Marsha
Barbara* Evelyn Marylou
Beth Frances Melanie
Beverly Georgina* Melissa
Blanche* Gerry* Maureen*
Betty Gwen Nancy
Bridget Helen* Pamela
Candy Irene* Pat
Carol Iris* Peggy
Cathy Jackie* Phyllis*
Charlene Jane* Roberta*
Charlotte* Jean* Sandi*
Cheryl Jill Sheena
Christine* Joan* Sheila*
Cindy Joanne Shirley
Claire* Joyce* Susan
Clarice Judy Tammy
Claudia Julie Vera*
Cleo June Verna
Connie* Karen* Vickie*
Corinne Lana* Virginia
Cynthia Lani Vivian*
Carlene Lorna Wanda*
Debbie Linda Wendy
Denise Liz Yvonne
Diane Lisa
These names have been carefully chosen, all nuances of sound taken into consideration. Where a nickname variant of another
name is shown, it is because the variant is more effective for our present purposes than the original name. In some instances
slight changes in a name, which will make it more conductive to another image, should be obvious, e.g., Marge or Margie
can admirably be “strengthened” by a change to Margaret or Margo. Softening or hardening of the “g” makes a vast
difference. Marge ends on a soft “g.” Margie has a soft “g” followed by the diminutive in the “ee” sound, which adds further
note to “helplessness” to the already obvious unpretentiousness of the name. Such a name can never present an ego-threat to
a top-of-the-clock male. Margaret, however, has the hard “g” coming right down like a mallet in the center, followed up with
a hard-to-form “ret.”
His Name
A lot can be told about a man by his name. It is amazing how few persons realize the impact a name can have on success or
failure. Names are very much like looks. You can either have what W. C. Fields referred to as a “euphonious appellation” or
an extremely ugly-sounding name and make it work for you. If an name is nondescript, it has its advantages, but they lie
principally in their element of camouflage or protective coloration.
A man with a name like Gregory Belmont will often see the advantages in such a pleasant sounding label, whereas a fellow
named Phil Peckerdick might have a rough time of it if he allows himself to! The man who really must try harder to get ahead
is the “Bill Johnson,” and those who do succeed are often the same man but “D. William Johnson” or “Will Desmond
Johnson” or W. Desmond Johnson.” Such a man would be likely to succeed, simply because he could remain aloof to
occasional comments like: “What’s he trying to give it with that ‘W. Desmond Johnson’ crap”! For a witch bent on
enchanting such a man, it would prove disastrous to come on with a name like “Zorita.” When dealing with a man with an
unpretentious name, however, it is usually safe to have a more exotic names and their influence in a person’s life, we will
deal here primarily with first names and the diverse forms they take.
In America it is the rule to employ first names as an assumption of familiarity, so the form these names take gives much
indication of the personality of their owners. Testimony to the importance of the first name in contemporary American
culture can be illustrated by the anecdote about the man who went before the judge, petitioning that his name be changed.
“What is your present name,” the judge asked. “Joe Schitz, your honor,” replied the applicant. “Well,” commented the judge,
“I can readily understand your desire to take another name. What is the new name you would like to assume?” The man
answered, “Vincent Schitz, your Honor.” Astonished, the judge asked him why he wished to change his name in this manner.
“Well, your honor,” the man answered, “Every time I see anybody I know they yell at me, ‘Hello Joe, whatta ya know’!”
To say that a man’s name is an extension of his ego is true, and many men will employ a fancy name as a cover-up for lack
of ability or achievement. Again, this is very much like good looks in a girl. If you have the knowledge of applied witchery,
such beauty can be invaluable, but if you are laboring under misinformation, self-deceit and exploitation, good looks can be a
curse. There is nothing more ludicrous than the familiar, self-deluded, talentless, puffed-up twelve o’clock type man with a
fancy name, presiding from his regular stool at the corner saloon.
Equally as common in our society is the plodding five o’clock office clerk with a face no one would notice and a name to
match, whose importance is such that the firm would practically collapse, should he ever leave.
A good test of a man’s nature is whether he uses a nickname, and if so, the enforcing of such a nickname over another
possible variant of the same root name. Example of this are the diversities of personality types bearing a name such as
“Charles,” relative to whatever nickname, e.g., “Charlie,” “Charley,” “Chuck,” “Chick,” “Chazz,”—or a foreign variant that
has been bestowed by parents, e.g., “Karl,” “Carl,” “Carlos,” “Carlo,” “Karel,” etc. There are certain personality connotations
in such nicknames and foreign variants that readily present themselves to the aware observer. “Charlie’s” are usually easy-
going, “Chuck’s” more assertive, “Chick’s” inclined towards cockiness, and “Charles’s” reserved and sophisticated. “Will’s”
always have more depth than “Bill’s,” and “Willie’s” retain a boyishness, while “Billy’s” often go looking for trouble.
“Carl’s” are usually serious, and “Carlos’s” are inclined to chase after anything in a skirt. “Richard’s” are bookworms,
whereas “Rich’s” are usually a trifle conceited. “Ricky’s” are woman chasers and “Rick’s” are often swaggering toughs.
“Dick’s” still predominate, however, and can be found hanging around, no matter what type you are dealing with. “Tom’s”
are usually quite stable, but “Tommy’s” are cut-ups. “Bob’s” are easily bewitched, but “Robbie’s” fancy themselves as
romantic leads, as do “Steve’s,” “Gary’s,” “Lance’s,” “Kirk’s,” and other assorted sex tags. “Mike” is an all-around guy,
whereas “Michael” is serious and romantic.
Foreigners who maintain their original names upon coming to America are much more headstrong and harder to bewitch
than those who leap right into an Americanized variant of their original name. They are magically very sound in retaining
their foreign names, as the element of intrigue is always present. The meaning of the word, “exotic,” we mustn’t forget, is
simply “foreign.” Any witch who is an exotic type to start with can do well with a foreign variant of her name. A dashing-
looking Frenchman named Laurent Gautier would have to be crazy to start calling himself “Larry Walters,” the Anglicized
version of his name. Likewise, a sexy witch from Ireland named Sheena would have rocks in her head if she took up its
popular American variant, “Jane.”
At least one of these topics is guaranteed to elicit an obvious response when subtly injected into the conversation. The ones
that are meaningless to your quarry will be glossed over—in one ear and out the other or rejected with a shrug or idle
comment. It is when you see (and the eyes tell) him pick up the cue and feed it back with grim or nervously-wrought interest
that you know you’ve hit the mark.
Once you know you have accurately reached that mark you have a magical weapon at your disposal that will serve you if
all else fails. You might even wind up having to actualize such fetishes if bewitching your quarry is important enough to you.
It’s the old question: Just how meaningful is it to gain what you want? You might be all wrong in every physical attribute for
his taste, but if he is turned on by a girl who will dress as a nursemaid and will paddle his bottom while he is dressed as a
little girl and you act as though you love doing just that, you will walk away from any competition from others gals who only
have their looks and proper position as his Demonic counterpart to present.
If you’re too embarrassed to employ the aforementioned fetish-finders in relationship to yourself, you can always inject
them into conversation by way of a third person. The way the eyes light up when you tell him about what happened to your
girl friend or another woman at the office, will let you know you’re on the right track. There is only one thing wrong with
using a third person account when fetish-finding, and I have seen this problem occur many times over. You must remember
that you’re dealing with compulsions, when you are exploring fetishes, the fetish being just what the name implies—a device
or situation that completely overwhelms any other more selective sexual stimuli. If you tell your quarry that your best friend
such a pretty girl, but when she removes her shoes while she’s typing at the office, you have to open a window, he’s liable to
get so horny that all he can think about is meeting your friend with the smelly feet!
I have found that women who seemingly have “nothing to offer,” yet “bewitch” a man away from a perplexed wife, who
can’t possibly understand what kind of power the “other woman” has over her husband, are very often utilizing fetishistic
compulsion. A wise witch should know that if the fetish she is catering to is one that the man would not readily disclose to
others, she has little fear of competition from others. Professional prostitutes are very careful about divulging good
customers’ “special requests” to other girls if the financial rewards for such services are substantial. And substantial they
usually are, for fetishistic activity commands (and gets) the highest fees in the profession. EVERY MAN IS A FETISHIST.
YOU SIMPLY HAVE TO DISCOVER HIS FETISH.
Sound
A witches voice must be consistent with her appearance. Inconsistency of voice is one of the most common causes of
failure in would-be witches. It is one thing to be inconsistent in ideals, topics of conversations, attitudes, etc. These are the
kind of inconsistencies that simply say you are “different” from everyone else, not the sort that will be picked up
automatically by the other person as the wrong cues to your basic personality type.
It is not simply what you say, but how you say it, that counts in witchery. Have you ever noticed how the girls with the
largest bodies often have the tiniest voices, and conversely, the smallest women usually have the loudest. Of course, this
phenomenon is most noticeable in extremes, but then, it is the extreme nature of such cases that makes them noticeable in the
first place. Loudness of voice relative to the size of the individual is secondary, as loudness is usually controlled by emotion.
Pitch is the important factor to consider when establishing your proper image as a compleat witch.
One of the essential elements of comedy is inconsistency. If a man sits down to play the tuba and the sound of a picolo
emerges, it is ludicrous. Likewise, the little man with the big foghorn voice seems ill-suited. Yet we see short plump little
women coming forth with husky, pseudosophisticated, femme fatale voices; thin, aesthetic types with whining, nasal voices;
big Amazons with little squeaky voices; petite Dresden dolls with hoarse bellows—misfits all!
If you are tall, aggressive, with red hair and prominent bond structure, you must cultivate a big and well-rounded, then your
voice should be softer and pitched higher. Don’t overdo it, though, as it only requires a slight raising or lowering of your
normal pitch to make all the difference in the world. Assertive and dominant women can get away with using regional and
foreign accents much easier than witches on the lower half of our synthesiser clock. The higher one is towards the top of the
clock, the more suited they are for dialects, accents, strange or unusual speech characteristics, etc. The lower down on the
clock one is, the more readily will plebeian, slangy, folksy, child-like talk pay off.
As for what you say, eleven to ones can say just about anything, and the more of it, the better. Two to fours better make
sense when they talk and can be as cool and cynical as possible. Five to sevens should speak little and agree plenty, and eight
to tens must be moderate in the quantity of words used and have a sense of humor. Let me give you a couple of examples of
witches I have known, and how one simple change in their speech patterns made them compleat witches.
Witch A is n unpretentious, round-faced girl in her early twenties, with brown hair and rather pretty features—about eight-
thirty on our clock. Wising to be a real witch and viewing all the late-shows on TV as a guide, she acquired a sultry, husky
voice. Her conversation was steeped in ambiguities and esoteric intrigue, and she fancied herself a rather plump enigma.
Everything started going from bad to worse as she got witchier and witchier and if failure was any criterion, she had made it.
When she consulted me for guidance and training, my secretary thought Katherine Hepburn was on the phone. Her case was
easy. All she had to do was learn to laugh, raise the pitch of her voice a half-tone, make an occasional funny comment (or at
least try), get rid of the slinky black dresses and learn to “say what you mean and mean what you say.” After about two
weeks of practice, things started looking up, and she went on to some real witchery.
Witch B is a big-busted sex-bomb, in her twenties, with her hair. She is 5’8” with slender legs and hips and the kind of
chest expansion that elicits comment and whistles wherever she goes. She has an extremely sensual face to go with it. She is
a perfect eleven o'clock type—a lot of woman, with an ebullient outgoing personal outgoing personality and is happily
married to a respected naval officer. When she came to me for coaching in the black arts, she had a tiny child-like voice with
all the inflections of Shirley Temple, Jane Withers, Wee Bonnie Baker and Betty Boop all rolled into one. Actually, an
intellectual girl, she sounded as though she didn’t have a brain in her head and could be accepted only on her looks.
Delving into her past, it turned out that when she was a little girl in New York, child stars were the rage, vaudeville was
still around, the movies were in their heyday and Hollywood was at the end of the rainbow. Our witch’s mamma was sure her
little dollink was going to give all those other kids a run for their money and wind up with her name in lights. After a lengthy
succession of try-outs, agents, amateur shows, kiddie reviews, bowing, curtsying, tap-dancing, baton-twirling, eye rolling—
not to mention sitting on the lap of every producer on Broadway, our witch had developed the voice that was to issue from
her vocal chords for many years to come. She, unlike witch A, had the humor, charm and bountiful looks to keep her happy
until she decided that there was something missing—something perhaps easily witchery, as she had long been fascinated with
sorcery and magic.
After talking with her, it became apparent that she could talk in other voices and intelligently! All she needed, with her
childhood dramatic training backing her up, was a little encouragement and the proper part to play. She had spent enough
time in England to imitate every kind of regional speech pattern from Manchester to Brighton. We decided that the most
important thing she needed was a new voice; so slowly at first, so slight as to be almost imperceptible, she started lapsing into
her best Hampstead dialect. Within two months her voice was a full tone lower, her accent was established, and she was
calling the shots in a way that surprised herself more than anyone. Now her role was established in perfect harmony with her
true type—worthy or inclusion in any Ian Fleming novel.
The question I hear now is “How can I possibly get away with changing my voice when everyone knows me as I am.”
There are several methods you can employ. The easiest, of course, is to simply change your pitch slightly and no one will
notice, but you’ll have the fun of seeing their change in response to you. If you are the type that would benefit by an accent,
but you can’t effectively carry it off, don’t even attempt it, as it could make matters worse. If you can carry a dialect well,
don’t worry about what your friends will think. Start it out as a joke, then lay it on so often that it becomes part of you.
Anything that cannot or will not gain acceptance if presented seriously will ALWAYS be accepted if properly presented as a
joke!
Those with a sense of humor will respond with laughter. Those devoid of humor will only appear as grouches. Those who
really like you and don’t resent your success or happiness will understand if your technique is explained to them. If things
aren’t going the way you’d like and you change your speech pattern and your few so-called “friends” say the “liked you
better the way you were,” you may assume that means they like to see you held down and getting nowhere fast! This applies
to all changes this book might bring about in your appearance and personality that will gain you new powers of enchantment.
The real results of your new voice will be most apparent around people who don’t know you. Oddly enough, a voice
change is the most difficult modification of your image to bring about, because it takes the most guts. It can well be the very
change you need to perfect your image. Insofar as vocabulary is concerned, the worst thing you can do is to affect a
sophisticated manner of speaking and use atrocious grammar and bad pronunciation. This is as ludicrous as the
aforementioned inconsistencies in pitch, relative to size. Countless comedy routines have utilized the character of the woman
who is trying to be cultured and puts her foot in her mouth every time she opens it. The difference between using comedy as
a magical weapon or being ridiculed by others is all in the self-awareness of the individual. In one case they think they are
laughing with you, but the joke is on them—as per my advice concerning accents. In the second case, they are laughing at
you, you know they are laughing at you, but your ulterior motives will give you the last and loudest laugh! In the third case
they are laughing at you, and you don’t even know it! This last case is obviously the one that must be guarded against.
The predominance of many hippie “witches” who don’t know the first thing about the manipulation of others, let alone the
forces around them, has given rise to the assumption on the part of many of these would-be witches that a few choice
astrological terms plus a ten-word vocabulary is the official speech pattern for magic and mysticism. These poor things who
are often convinced they have the “formula,” stop their mantras only long enough to utter such profundities as: “groovy,”
“wow,” “oh wow,” “heavy,” “yeah,” “right on,” “far out,” plus a few once-choice obscenities that have long-since lost any
impact. Don’t get me wrong, slang has always been and always will be the language of the people, but sad indeed is he whose
vocabulary is reduced to the use of only slang expressions, and a pitiful few at that!
There will always be those who, is their collective search for identity, employ only the most hackneyed of popular
expressions. We had flappers whose speech was limited to “Oh you kid,” “twenty-three skidoo,” “the cat’s pajamas,” etc., but
they claimed no magical power—only the hip flask, the fast joy, the devil-may-care attitude so dear to the hear of F. Scott
Fitzgerald. Nor did the hep cats with the zoot suits and the drape shapes and the reet pleats profess any magical awareness
while they were “in the groove.”
If you want your witcheries to work, avoid overuse of such expressions like the plague, as they throw a wrench in the gears
of any basic personality image and type you are in a truly prejudicial manner. Of course, if your witchery is centered within
such a group as the aforementioned, then you must employ such expressions as a means of gaining acceptance. If a witch
comes up to me some day, enlarges her pupils, and says: “With a hey nonnie nonnie and a hotcha cha,” she’ll be sure to get
my attention!
Music is one of the surest means of enchanting someone, and there is no doubt that music is the universal language. A
smart witch can enchant a man she cannot even talk to, if she can play (even badly) or sing music that is analogous to his
country. Through the proper choice of music, one can transcend all language, cultural, economic or ethnic barriers which
might otherwise be limiting factors.
Unfortunately, most people think this means “You will love me if I play you some of my kind of music, and I will
appreciate you for yours.” Get such stupid ideas out of your head. This assumption is like expecting everyone to think your
baby is as pretty as you do every time you bring out a snapshot of your child. Very few babies are ugly, and very few types of
music you could play would appeal to no one. But one of the biggest and most common mistakes a witch can make is to
assume the music she likes best will be equally appreciated by the man she wishes to enchant.
The fact that one’s taste in music resides in the Core of his personality gives credence to the statement that the soul of a
nation resides in its music, not yours! If you play him your kind of music, you are playing what represents your true
personality, but not his. If he does exercise his Demonic element in its corresponding musical form, rather than in a woman,
you are in the same position as the woman in the restaurant listening to the violinist mentioned in a previous chapter. You
will simply be another instrument added to the ensemble on the record—a fellow “fan” who adds to the enjoyment of his real
love—the type of music that is only a substitute for you! Therefore, you must take the place of your musical counterpart. The
only way to do this is to musically distract him with the opposite type of music from that which you represent while you
move in for the kill. This is simply like getting his old girl friend out of the house so you’ll have room to operate.
What is far more important to consider than the sort of music to which a person will respond, is the type of response itself,
relative to personality types. With regards to musical response, I have quartered our synthesizer clock into these basic
characteristics: Eleven to one—motivational; two to four—intellectual; five to seven—participating; eight to ten—social.
If you want to please a person, it helps to stress the kind of music that would be closest to his position on the clock. Strong
melody and rhythm are necessary to charm those on the left, with the beat taking precedence over the melody at nine o’clock.
Rhythm to these social types is more important than melody if one or the other must be sacrificed. The music is
companionship; the incessant beat, like chatter. This runs concurrent with the element of earth that we find at nine o’clock.
Being the most social, music represents companionship more to these people than any others, hence eight to ten o’clock types
are most likely to have their car radios going at all times. By the same token, these people, like the three o’clocks opposite,
are least distracted by music. The nine o’clocks need music for companionship but are more likely to pursue other activities
while listening. Even while making love these types will have a radio going with no distraction whatsoever.
Two to four o’clocks sometimes listen to music while they pursue other activities, but not for companionship, as do the
eight to tens. Two to fours appreciate and study music rather than respond to it. The mental aspect of the right side of the
clock sees to that. This is why they like music of a mathematical bent, such as Bach and Brubeck, whereas the fluidic
influence starts about four o’clock, with an emphasis on ballads and folk songs by the time five is reached. Being of an
esoteric nature, as a result of the air element, most adherents to experimental music and avant garde forms will be found at
three and four o’clock. Music critics fall into the two to four category as would be expected.
The eleven to ones and five to sevens are compelled to listen to music and are directly influenced by it the most. These are
the types that are unable to listen to music without responding and seldom will be able to pursue any other activities while
music is being played without giving attention to the music. The big difference in these two opposite types is this: The five to
seven is enveloped in the music and becomes a medium and reactor to it, whereas the eleven to ones are also swept up in the
music but become moved to action by it! Don’t expect to sexually inflame these types through music, as it will distract them
from anything you have in mind.
Quality, rather than quantity, is more important to the six o’clock, whereas the reverse is true of the twelve. A good
example of this would be a Sousa march, which could be enjoyed and reacted to equally by eleven to ones or five to sevens.
The twelve o’clock would rather hear the march played with the emphasis on loudness and therefore could appreciate hearing
it slightly out of tune on a broken-down merry-go-round band organ so long as it was loud. The march would then be used as
a triggering-off mechanism to get the show (the twelve o’clock) on the road rather than as a whole experience as in the case
of the six o’clock. This is the reason that when hearing music, the six o’clock will dance to it and the twelve o’clock will go
out and do something as a result of it! The nine o’clock will need it, and the three o’clock will analyze it.
The dance used to be one of the most practical uses of music in witchcraft. Now that physical contact while dancing has
become a thing of the past, we have reverted to an older form, in which each person dances individually—either for their own
expression or for the entertainment of someone else. The social elements of dancing are stressed by the number of people
who are dancing in an area or room instead of by physical contact between dancers. This should present no problem to the
witch, though, as most men are voyeuristic and will be much more stimulated by watching a woman moving about
suggestively than by dancing with her. The exceptions to this rule are dances which are designated to place emphasis on
contact with erogenous zones, and one can only trust that the day will soon come when dancing between couples will return.
Before such a pastime ensues, however, a new and epicurian set of sexual enchantment it once was. Don’t forget, though, the
music that motivates people to dance contains the same rhythms that motivate the muscles and tendons of the body to
fornicate. Horizontal dancing will always be popular and the intervals of sound that humans call music have helped to
maintain that popularity. As an old-time clergyman once said, “The Devil has always had the best tunes.”
When we think of music we seldom think in terms of the normal speaking voice, as such. Nevertheless, everyone’s basic
personality has its own rhythm, and that rhythm is exemplified by the normal cadence and tempo of the voice. If someone is
in high gear all the time, you probably notice how it shows in his way of speaking. One of the greatest tricks of human
manipulation is to be able to adjust the speed of your voice (and the relative pitch and inflection) to match that of the person
to whom you are talking. You should be able to learn the art of mimicry well enough so that you can lapse into a subtle,
almost imperceptible echo of the other person’s voice.
To do this, you begin your conversation with the other person, in your normal voice, which should, of course, be consistent
with your basic type, as we have discussed previously. That much, then, has been established and your image, as you would
have your quarry define it, is exactly what his Demonic element calls for. Within the first few minutes of your conversation,
you allow your voice, tempo and inflection to merge slightly with his. He won’t even notice this if you are gradual enough.
Accompany your conversation with very slight nods of your head, indicating you are in agreement with him. If he is a sour-
puss and displays certain mannerisms that brand him as a pessimist, don’t nod your head when you talk. This type wants
someone with whom he can commiserate and usually shakes his head from side to side even when telling of something
wonderful that happened! If you run into this type, shake your head from side to side, too, as you talk, letting him think he
has met a fellow loser.
Within five minutes of conversation, you should have thoroughly established yourself on the same speech frequency. You
have then performed a very potent magical maneuver. There are no longer two people talking, but only one. Your quarry is
now speaking as a whole person, using both his Apparent and his Demonic self. You have given him his Demonic voice by
appearing in the guise of yourself but speaking as him. He will be disinclined to contradict whatever you suggest to him, as
now he is the only one doing the talking and his ego—the crystallization of his true self, his Core personality, the Devil who
sent out the Demon you represent and the thing that must inevitably be served—will not allow him to speak out against
himself! He cannot disagree with what you say, because to do so at this time would mean to disagree with himself. He will
find himself saying things you want him to say and thinking they are his own ideas. Don’t neglect to nod your head ever-so-
slightly at regular intervals except when with a pessimist. Don’t forget that the most effective suggestion can come in the
guise of a question accompanied by a nod of the head.
If you’re dealing with one of the aforementioned grumps, keep your voice dropping at the end of each phrase and keep
shaking that head. Let him feel that you are the only person on earth who understands how crummy everything is.
Remember, if he didn’t see in you the traits opposite from those you are now projecting when he first confronted you, he
wouldn’t be charmed by you now. After you have kept up your mutual bellyaching and head-shaking and you’ve arrived at
the point in your conversation where you think it wise to interject whatever it is you want from this man, your next step is to
raise the pitch of your voice very slightly as you force your card on him. As you speak, this time, you nod your head instead
of shaking it. Drive your point home in two or three sentences, all the while nodding almost indiscernibly and speaking with
brightness in your voice. Then—drop right back into the role, you were playing, your voice dropping, your head shaking,
your shoulder ready and everything but the crying towels.
You have your suggestion shoved into his brain in such a way that he can never get it out. If he doesn’t follow your
suggestion right away, it will haunt him until he does. You got him when his defenses were down, and the door to his
unconscious was wide open when you tossed in your desire, all neatly packaged. The sooner he does your bidding, the better,
because that’s the only way he will ever get it out of his head.
Use your voice. It is one of your best magical weapons. If you do, you will quickly discover that not all ventriloquists keep
their mouths closed while talking.
I realize that this is a somewhat delicate topic, but it is one sense in particular that women have most neglected to use,
hence more powerful for the witch who uses it.
Of the five senses, the sense of smell is the most neglected. An odor will evoke an entire state of consciousness more
thoroughly than any other form of communication. No other form of sensory cue has been so shrouded in guilt,
misinformation and self-contradictory definition as have the things we smell. The paradox of perfumery stands as the most
fragrant example of the olfactory deceptions wrought in the name of finery and good taste.
As a witch, you should learn some basic principles of enchantment through odors. First of all, DON’T SCRUB AWAY
YOUR NATURAL ODORS OF SEDUCTION. It doesn’t matter how much brainwashing has been done to make certain
bodily odors undesirable. Millions of years have seen to it that such scents will never be reacted to in a negative way. The
most successful witches are those who smell like women. This doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t bathe or wash your
underwear, but one can overdo a fear of “offending” to a point that negates any opportunity for success. This obsession to
scrub away dirt (and with it sin) is a by-product of the kind of Puritanism and Calvinism that defies all the laws of nature.
The Huguenots even had a hymn equating bodily odors with sin, called: “Everybody Stinks but Jesus.” There is no doubt that
to many women, a bar of soap has replaced the confessional.
Women who are accomplished and pay strict attention to personal hygiene are successful in spite of their habits, not
because of them. Usually such cases revolve around established groups—business, social, professional—where acceptance
has already been gained. Then, out of protocol and decorum, stringent hygiene is maintained in order to perpetuate one’s
status. In the animal kingdom this phenomenon would be illustrated by the smelliest animals achieving status, then once
having attained favored position, sniffing each other critically to see who smelled the worst!
We are no different. When we meet a person to whom we respond favorably, invariably he smells good to us, even though
we may not consciously recognize any odor. If there is such an attractive odor present, it is usually one that would be
considered disgusting, disgraceful or repellent if its origin were known. If the odor that attracts us in the form of a perfume or
cologne, it is usually made from the sexual odors and mating scents given off by beavers (castoreum), cats (civit), whales
(ambergris), muskrats (MuscZibata), deers and goats (musk) and numerous plants and flowers whose odors, we mustn’t
forget, are intended by nature to attract for the purpose of survival and pollination.
It is inconceivable to think that human beings could be the only creatures without appealing sexual odors, yet odors that
originate in the sexual parts are considered anathema by a large majority of them. Millions of dollars are spent each year on
substances that will remove any trace of “offensive” human odor, and more millions are spent on purchasing the bottled sex-
smells of animals, to replace the scrubbed-off and astringently removed perfume that is the most bewitching of all!
Women also find male odors tremendously appealing. Some women for example get turned on by sweaty men. In fact
many folk dancers contain a gesture in which a scarf held under the armpit during the dance is waved about the man’s
partner.
I find it ironic that the science of perfumery was developed in days when such extracts were applied in addition to the
natural odors of the body. Many perfumes were employed because of the lack of sanitation and hygiene, which necessitated
the strong odors being covered up by stronger ones. As clothing became more cumbersome and elaborate, people perspired
more, and the accumulated secretions that lack of bathing left to ferment made perfumes highly desirable in polite circles.
If everyone went around with an overabundance of clothing and six months between baths, it would get pretty
uncomfortable in a crowded room. The main reason for the discomfort, however, would not be because of the odor of the
individuals in the room to whom you would be sexually attracted. It would be all those others present who were not your
type, that would make such a gathering a highly unrewarding experience.
Who or what would constitute those who wouldn’t be your type? Generally, assuming you are heterosexually inclined,
members of your own sex. This is the reason virtually all heterosexual women are concerned about personal hygiene. You
don’t get excited, only repelled, when you smell the female odors of another woman—and damned if you want to smell that
way too! Men and lesbians love that aroma, however. But other heterosexual women and homosexually inclined men find it
repugnant.
If you could portray the Demonic element within you, you would favorably respond to your own odor as a man would.
Your built-in perfume should be a perfect blend of acid and alkaline substances generated by the secretions of the Bartholin
glands, perspiration, and urine. Nature has constructed you in a manner that leaves folds of flesh in the proper places so that a
blending of the three just-mentioned substances is assured. If you doubt what I say, heed the fact that the most common
article of female clothing that is employed as a fetishistic substitute are panties, and the ritual accompanying the acquisition
of same invariably consists of sniffing of the crotch, performed in an epicurian fashion. Don’t be misled into thinking it is the
heady scent of the perfumed soap or sachet in your bureau drawer that makes your undies appealing. They are appealing in
spite of the spice and lavender, not because of it. Perfumes should be used over existing odors, not in place of them; and the
perfume you choose should bring out your own odor, not neglect it.
Some of you may have noticed that men seem to swarm around you most when you have your period. Undoubtedly, such a
situation has proved disturbing to many of you, as you feel it an inopportune time to really get involved, especially where sex
might be concerned. Here again, we must rely on the animal kingdom for our knowledge. The female of the species is always
most appealing to the male when she is in heat, which corresponds in some ways to the monthly menstrual cycle in a woman.
The changes which take place in your system at this time are such that the normal sexual odor is highly intensified and,
because of this, carries further. This is why such a big fuss had been made about offending at this time of the month—but are
you really offending?
It is true, some women have an odor that can cause very decided rejection during their menstrual cycle, but this is because:
(a) it is mingled with other odors that are incompatible (certain foods, tobacco, etc.); (b) little or no hygienic measures have
been taken, insofar as regular changing of tamp ons or pads; (c) a naturally excessive menstrual odor. (It has long been part of
folk wisdom that brunettes have a stronger natural odor than blondes.) The last two reasons relate to the intensity of the odor
rather than the odor itself; and I cannot stress enough that any odor, if strong enough, becomes unpleasant.
The most pleasing scents, when intensified enough, become noxious; and conversely, many of the most alluring scents are
reductions or otherwise objectionable odors. The basic menstrual odor is not offensive. It is only its over-intensity which
makes it so! The actual scent given off at this time is the most potent aphrodisiac a woman can employ if properly used.
Many old witches’ charms call for the use of menstrual blood invariably along with other ingredients thought to be
necessary. Magical potions, salves and even charms usually contain only one or two ingredients that really count but several
others that are thrown in because: (a) the more complicated something is, the fewer people will try to make it even if the
instructions are available; (b) the unnecessary ingredients serve to misdirect the uninitiated or unenlightened from the truly
effective ingredients; (c) the more difficult it is to make, the more dependency rests on the powers of the witch; (d) the
credibility of the substance will be greater—nobody believes in things that are too simple to understand; (e) a higher fee or
price can be charged by the witch; (f) the originators of the potion didn’t even know themselves that out of their complicated
mess only one or two ingredients were doing the trick.
Unless the human animal is to be considered the only exception in nature, you are theoretically appealing, rather than
offending, during your period. The only offending you need worry about is where your scent becomes overbearing or in
having to refuse an ardent male with whom you would like to go to bed. A fine trick, utilizing your menstrual cycle, requires
taking a tip from the makers of perfume. All the substances mentioned earlier in this chapter are the bases of oils and waters
which are considered pleasant-smelling. In every instance, the original substance from which the perfume is made is over-
powering in its odor. Only when scaled-down will such a strong odor be accepted as pleasant.
If your period produces an extra-strong scent, which potentially has tremendous drawing power perfume-wise but at a time
when you can’t gracefully do anything about it, put some of that aroma in a doggie-bag and save it! If you can think of a
more romantic name for a magical pouch containing some of your menstrual blood, go right ahead. The method my witches
have found most practical is to retain a sanitary napkin or tampon which has been well saturated and cut it down to a size
small enough to be unobtrusive. Cover it wit a very light material with an open weave so the odor will not be stifled yet the
contents will be unrecognizable if it should be discovered. The finished product should be in the form of a tiny pouch or
amulet about two inches square and sewn together at the top.
When you go forth to confront your quarry, tuck your sachet inside your blouse or sweater where the cleavage between
your breasts will hide it and also supply enough heat to activate the scent. Don’t worry about the smell being too strong, as it
will be cut down considerably from the intensity produced during your period but still retain its effectiveness. Don’t expect to
like what you smell if the odor wafts up to your nostrils. When the rest of your body is not experiencing such exhalations,
you will not be attuned to the odor as you would be during your period. Also the close proximity of your breast area to your
nasal equipage will make it seem stronger smelling than it is. If it really bothers you, place a small dab of Vicks in each
nostril and you won’t smell a thing, and the slight trace of comphor sometimes even adds to the effectiveness. If anyone
should ask you what it is, should it be seen, tell them it is an old witchcraft charm bag containing powerful herbs and
powders. Sometimes a leather thong, a string or thin chain attached that will allow the pouch to be worn around the neck is a
good idea providing your clothing will cover it.
Here are some other helpful hints in smell-binding: Gauge your use of bodily scents by the occasion and environment
within which you will be operating. If you’re going to be around nothing but other women, and it is among them that you
must pass inspection, keep yourself pure and (ugh) fresh. If you’re going to be in the company of men, however, let the
effective perfume that nature gave you work its wonders. I am appalled at the way a woman will reek of various odors such
as strong foods, cigarettes, liquors, etc. yet maintain a fanatical concern for her personal hygiene insofar as sexu al odors are
concerned. Of course, the literature of sexual pathology contains much reference to men who revel in all manner of strong,
over-wrought and abnormal odors.
Aside from the natural fragrance of your genitals, certain other odors can be employed to subliminally turn on a man. One
of the most effective of such essences is gasoline. When used in combination with other odors, it will surprise you with its
results. Gasoline is best employed where its odor can be subtly wafted into the room in which you are throwing your spell.
He shouldn’t be able to detect you are throwing your spell. He shouldn’t be able to detect it strongly but almost
imperceptibly. Dried grass and weeds, balsam, eucalyptus, pine, rubber are also very stimulating to men. Urine is another
odor which has only been erotically by-passed by the human animal, and there are more men who are stimulated by the smell
of urine than will ever admit to it. The odor of chocolate is sure to win children over to you if you are teaching or working
around them. To a child, no one can smell as nice as the person who smells like candy.
You are probably wondering why I haven’t mentioned specific scents that are well known as perfumes when you like many
of the oils and fragrances of an exotic and elegant nature. After all, you have been using perfumes all your life and most
certainly have your favorites. There is the answer to your question. We are not concerned here with your favorites, but what
will bewitch the other person. We have made our full circle from where we started at the beginning of this chapter, and this
rule stands sure: THE SCENTS THAT YOU LIKE BEST ON YOURSELF ARE INCONSEQUENTIAL. THE ODORS
YOU LIKE LEAST ARE THE ODORS THE MAN WHO REPRESENTS YOUR DEMONIC WILL LIKE BEST.
Those wonderful exotic fragrances: Bergamot, Jasmine, Jonquil, Tuberose, Heliotrope, Frangipani, Ylang ylang,
Sandalwood, Saffron, Lilac and all the exquisite creations of the world’s finest perfumers are largely manifestations of the
wearer’s own vanity rather than tools of the witch’s trade. The same perfume you select as your favorite smells good to you,
and if a man selected it for you, it is because it smelled good to him. Has a man ever presented you with an expensive bottle
of perfume? Can you honestly say that the perfume he gave you was the kind you would have chosen yourself? Or was the
stuff used once and then put in the drawer? Maybe he knew what you liked, because you told him, and bought it for you, but
did he really prefer it to others or buy it simply because he knew you would like it? Who was charming whom with the
perfume? Think about these questions and you will see that perfume is the candy—enjoyed the most by the consumer.
IT was once fashionable for all gentlemen of consequence to wear perfume. There is no reason why men should not wear
the same perfumes as women if they like the scent. Unlike differences in men’s and women’s clothing, perfume has been
employed by men as well as women throughout history, and it was not until late in the eighteenth century that its use among
men declined. Now a revival of male use of perfume seems apparent which is good. Women are more influenced by perfume
than are men anyway. Perhaps if men wear more, women will wear less, as they will be able to smell their favorites on their
lovers and husbands, thereby putting their own scent glands to work instead of some beaver’s.
Taste
When a child smells something he likes, his natural impulse is to taste it. This also applies to human adults, repressions
notwithstanding. It is simply repression of one kind or another that keeps an adult from following up his desire to taste an
object which smells pleasant. Most repressions are those which are taught, some wisely, others out of ignorance.
We refrain from taking poisonous substances, because someone has told us of the consequences. The old witch who lulled
her victim to helplessness through a potion or elixir was very much like the classical poisoner, who made sure that the
substance to be drunk was, indeed, pleasant to the taste. When the same witch was called upon to perform some miraculous
service, she knew the opposite would be needed and made sure the drink she gave her client was noxious and bitter. If
something wasn’t difficult to take, her customer would assume its effect to be worthless. This chapter shall deal with your
quarry rather than your customer. Therefore, whatever you employ for your bewitchment must be easily ingested.
The first requisite for any four to nine o’clock witch is that she learn to cook. Witches who are in the ten to three o’clock
category on our synthesizer clock need not know how unless they are playing the role of another type. Their talents should lie
in potions, and it is more important for a dominant type of witch to be able to make a good drink than to cook.
In dealing with food, a witch should realize that a great deal can be told about a man by his eating habits. Once his tastes
are known, his food preferences can be catered to. Though it is true that a man’s heart is reached through his stomach, it is
more important that he be fed the right foods, relative to his personality, than those you find the most appetizing. Like
perfumery, foods that you like best are not necessarily those that he will like best. Many a poor witch has slaved over a hot
cauldron, preparing what she considers to be the most delectable meal in the world, only to have it unappreciated. What is
even worse, though, is to spend a lot of time on a meal, watch him eat it with apparent enthusiasm and then notice a decided
coolness the next time you see him. What this often means is that he said he liked the meal to be polite. Chances are good
there are more reasons why he took a powder than your cooking alone, but the wrong choice of food could have just the
nudge he needed to s tay away. Had you served the perfect meal, you might have had another chance, and the next time his
mood could have been conducive to your success.
The only time you will find a man with a taste in food identical to your own will be when you have found a man who likes
exactly the opposite type of girl from what you are! I have seen many aspiring witches fix a meal that is exactly to their
guest’s taste using their own taste as a yardstick. These witches are terribly pleased when their gentlemen friends gobble up
every crumb then ask when the next dinner will be. Mistakenly, the witch thinks she has found a man who really appreciates
good food, in accordance with what she thinks good food should be. Little does she realize how well she has succeeded as a
chef, but failed as a witch, until she awakens to the brutal fact that he is around only for the food, not for her, and is not the
least bit interested in anything but what she can supply him in the way of non-romantic indulgences. These chow-hounds
can’t possibly get interested romantically, because so long as you have chosen the menu from your personal taste, and they
like what you have selected, you have the wrong man! These are cases where the witch’s ego can really get in the way, and
the gals that do the most boasting about their special way of preparing a certain dish can often be spotted as the ones who fail
witchery-wise. Until you are able to learn what he likes, don’t goof up by throwing him what you like!
I have devised a pleasant test by which one can tell whether a person is dominant or passive by nature. I call it “The LaVey
Salad Dressing Test.” No matter what kind of meal is served, the salad course can allow for personal choice if a basic type of
salad is served and various kinds of dressings are offered. Or if you are dining out, there are only a few fundamental
dressings available in most restaurants, and from these (French, Russian, Thousand Island, Roquefort, bleu cheese, oil and
vinegar) you may well discover more about a person’s character than you would ever think possible.
Men who are dominant and masculine archetypes prefer sweet dressings, such as French, Russian, Thousand Island, as do
women who are dominant or latent or practicing lesbians. Women who are passive, submissive, and feminine archetypes
prefer Roquefort, bleu cheese, and oil and vinegar, as do males who are passive or latent or active homosexuals. Salads are
seldom liked by small children unless a sweet dressing is applied.
The taste of sweet dressing, with its minty, tomato, spicy taste (plus the fact that it is most often used when seafood is
incorporated in the salad) resembles the odor of a woman’s sexual parts and is therefore agreeable to the archetypical male.
Conversely, the aroma and taste of the strong, cheesey Roqueforts, blue cheese, oil and vinegar, etc. is similar to the male
scrotal odor and reminiscent of a locker full of well-worn jock straps. This is naturally subliminally appealing to
predominantly heterosexual females, passive males and males with homo phile tendencies. If a chef in a restaurant has a
specialty dressing, it will not only tell much about his sexual predilections but often serves to classify the management of the
restaurant. Of course, there are many people who like all types of dressing, but there is usually a slight preference in one
direction.
A lot can be discerned from the kind of candy or cake a man likes. Dominant, self-indulgent, greedy types like candy, cake
and cookies with smooth texture—no nuts! They might love nuts, but by themselves, not blended with smooth textured
foods. These self-indulgent types don’t want to have to work while they eat and obstructions in their food distract them from
their pleasure. They will gladly attack a steak with enthusiasm but rebel when something like nuts come along to break up the
tranquility of an ice cream cone. These types have the least problems in life, as they will not readily allow them to develop.
Submissive males, who are often used to sexual abstinence, like food with rough texture and prefer cookies, candy and
cake with nuts, health foods, food that is either very bland or extremely hot, strong or sour. In other words, these types must
either get no definite pleasure and taste from food (abstinence) or become submissive to its strength. This is your cue that
they want to be dominated by you!
A dominant male will order his steak rare. One who is prepared to cater to your every need will order his medium or well
done. The truly dominant man will eat the frosting and throw away the cake even though it doesn’t seem “he-man” thing to
do. The man most likely to give you your own way will eat the cake after he has scraped off the frosting.
In the old days, witches used to place great confidence in an edible effigy of the person they wished to charm. Even such
festive confections as hot cross buns had a sexual meaning that isn’t talked about at Sunday school. Hence was born the
gingerbread man. Ginger has always been considered an important ingredient of love potions, and a love potion should
rightfully be called a “lust” potion. Whether ginger works as an aphrodisiac or not, when a gingerbread man was baked a
great deal of ceremony went into the preparation of the toothsome morsel.
First of all, it was assumed to be the proposed lover of the witch who prepared it or of the witch’s client. Most of these
cookie men were made for the use of lovelorn girls, by an older, experienced witch, who was wise in the ways of the world.
The general procedure was to have the girl disrobe and lie on a long wooden bench as would likely be found in a kitchen.
With her client flat on her back, the witch would procure a board about a foot square and place it over the girl’s genitals.
Then, she placed a small iron stove, similar to a Japanese hibachi, on the board and stoked it up. Forming the little figure
from the dough, and placing it over the glowing coals, she covered it and began to chant.
As she talked, she spoke of the lusts that would fill the man who was represented, the things he would like to do, the
exaggerated state of his member and the consuming desire of the girl on the bench. Telling the young woman that the heat
from her loins and groin must merge with the glowing coals, she goaded the girl with erotic suggestion until a climax was
obtained. Sometimes the orgasm was assisted by the witch, who was often a lesbian who found that caressing her customer’s
breasts was nice work; or occasionally a “demon” assistant would appear to help, in the guise of a local dirty old man.*
Knowing the time needed to bake the cookie, and gauging it accordingly, the witch removed the brazier and board from the
now-spent woman and produced the finished product.
Wrapping it carefully with a few more incantations, the witch got her customer dressed and sent her on her way. The young
woman was to present the cake to her young man as soon as possible, while it was still fresh, then sit back and wait for the
results. It got so whenever a guy got a gingerbread man, he knew what was up, and more often than not took full advantage
of the opportunity! Chances are good he believed in witchcraft in the first place and the knowledge that a spell had been
wrought on him could not be glossed over. Combine this with the confidence of the witch when she proffered her spicy
cookie, and you can easily see why such enchantments seldom failed.
The tradition of bride’s biscuits is directly linked with the use of a cake for purposes of instilling sexual desire in a new
husband; and any girl who bakes goodies for a man she likes is keeping an old witch-custom alive.
The term “cookie-lady” is synonymous with “witch.” The association of edibles with sexual desire will always make the
ingestion of a certain food or drink the most desirable short-cut to romance in the popular mind. When the story got around
about the Garden of Eden, it only helped propagate beliefs which had been around for thousands of years. Consequently, love
potions are supposedly the stock in trade of the sorceress.
As previously stated, the function of a so-called love potion is only that of an aphrodisiac. Each day I receive several letters
from persons who think that a good love potion will solve all of their romantic problems. At best, all a love potion can
accomplish is sexual stimulation. Any lasting love which develops will not be induced by the potion but by the person. Many
of the old recipes for these drinks were nothing more than instructions in the preparation of liqueurs similar to many that are
now available on the open market. Commercially available “love potions” are:
Gentian Wine:
Grate one ounce of gentian root and let macerate for twenty-four hours in three and one-half pints of brandy; add a little red
table wine, seal vessel, leave it in the sun for eight days, filter well.
Wine de l’Amour:
Take a fifth of white table wine and incorporate the following substances: two vanilla beans, one ounce cinnamon bark,
one ounce ginseng, and one ounce rhubarb. Let macerate for two weeks, stirring daily, then filter and serve.
Hypocras Aphrodisiaque:
One ounce crushed cinnamon bark, one ounce of ginger, one-third ounce of clove, two and one-quarter pounds of
granulated white sugar, and one and three-quarters pints of red table wine.
Let these ingredients macerate for five days, strain the whole through a cloth and pour wine through a funnel.
To consume, pour one ounce of the mixture into the wine habitually drunk.
Eliser Satanique:
Take one fifth of vodka, pour into a jug, and incorporate the following: one two-ounce jar of instant coffee, prepared with
one quart of water that has been brought to a boil, one vanilla bean, one-half ounce Mandrake root, one small tin of sesame
seeds, and one pound of granulated sugar.
Let these ingredients macerate for one month, stirring daily, but otherwise kept stoppered. Strain and serve.
If you are having a party and want an easy-to-make punch that will be consumed copiously by those who don’t even drink
and has a decidedly sneaky effect, I have used this to great advantage for many years:
Goblin Juice:
Mix together one fifth of rum, one fifth of vodka, one large can of pineapple-grapefruit drink (prepared under many brand
names), one small can of concentrated frozen orange juice, diluted as per instructions on container; and four ounces of
grenadine.
You will produce a drink every bit as potent as the most exotic Polynesian concoction. Serve with ice and lots of salted
goodies.
Whatever you do, don’t make the mistake of thinking that a love potion will work when everything else has failed. If you
expect to find a magical elixir that will enable you to have whoever you want without lifting your little finger to help, forget
it! There are hormonal extracts that can work wonders, but they require considerably more knowledge for their use than
meets the eye.
When employing any type of aphrodisiac, many factors must be considered, chiefly side-effects and personality variants.
Knowing all about love potions but nothing about people can lead to a situation very similar to the classic anecdote about the
man who was never successful with the ladies, who one day accidentally strolled down a narrow street in an old section of
town—an area he had no knowledge even existed. Noticing a small shop, its windows so dusty and dirty it was almost
impossible to see beyond them, he stopped to peer inside. What he saw intrigued him—all sorts of glass vials, stoppered jars,
stuffed birds, battered clocks, etc. Trying the door, he found it opened quite easily, and upon entering, was greeted by the
stereotyped little old man in gray hair standing behind the counter, almost as though he was expecting him.
Getting down to business, the wizard (for that was his profession) told the man he had just the thing he needed, to which
the man replied that what he needed was a good love potion, and he doubted that he would find it there or anywhere else. The
wizard then informed the man that he did, indeed, have a love potion and a good one. Asking the price of such a rare
commodity, the man was informed that it was only a dollar and forty-nine cents. Saying he would take one, waited while the
wizard went out back to get it.
That following evening the man had an opportunity to try his elixir. Much to his surprise, it worked, and the girl he was
with fairly raped him on the spot. Well, what do you think the man did? You’re right! He went right down to the old wizard’s
the very next morning and it was so early the store wasn’t even open. A small pencilled sign on the door informed him that if
no one was at the store, to ring the upstairs bell as that was where the proprietor lived. Doing so, he was admitted cordially by
the old man and then saw a sight that took his mind off his new-gotten fulfillment. The old man lived in splendor!
Everywhere his gaze fell, the man saw incredibly valuable and beautiful furnishings and objects d’art, and the décor of the
place was in the most extravagant but elegant taste imaginable.
Commenting on what a nice place he had, the man regained his composure and announced that he had stopped by to pick
up a few more of those love potions. Agreeable to the sale, the two adjourned to the shop, where the wizard produced six
more doses.
A month passed, and the man again appeared at the wizard’s shop. This time he was worn, haggard, sallow and bent. His
eyes were bloodshot and strained. The wizard had been expecting him. The man had become involved with many women—
seven to be exact. All provided by the wizard’s love potion. Now he could not get rid of them! They had complicated his life
beyond belief! He even feared for his safety. The wizard knew what the man had in mind. He was very wise. He told the man
he had a potion that would make those girls forget he even existed. He assumed the man wished seven doses and was correct.
Wondering if he would have enough money to cover the purchase, the much-relieved man asked what the cost would
amount to. The wizard mentally added the price up, as it required no great accounting. Seven doses, at five thousand dollars
per dose, came to thirty-five thousand dollars. Shaken, the man said he thought it was awfully steep and allowed as how he
would have to sell his house to raise that kind of money. He then asked the wizard why his love potions were so cheap, but
the antidote so expensive, to which the wizard only commented, “How do you think I get all that nice stuff upstairs!”
----------
* In those days if a girl had been properly schooled in theological topics, she would have learned all about various demons,
including the dreaded incubi. Such things as orgasms were automatically defined as demonic possession, so a witch could
always produce a “real” demon or so under such circumstances. If an orgasm occurred under sacred circumstances, it was an
ecstasy.
Touch
“And her hands are bands for binding; for when they place their hands on a creature to bewitch it, then with the help of the
Devil they perform their design.”
--Malleus Maleficarum
Skin softness, like the proper perfume and perfumery hygiene, is an almost exclusively feminine preoccupation. Men, the
animals that they are, are seldom really concerned too much about whether a girl’s skin is baby-soft or not. Unless a man is
fetishistically attracted to smooth skin, he will always give preference to a woman who represents his Demonic element, even
if her skin is less than perfect. Certainly, very few men like coarse, rough skin on a woman, but the average gal has much
more to look after, as far as her witch-power is concerned, than her skin. The obsession for soft skin is a throwback to the
days when women who were respected were those who never used their hands, and soft skin was a mark of gentility.
Don’t get me wrong, I think it’s a decided advantage for a witch to have reasonably smooth skin. I simply find it magically
unsound to pay homage to your femininity by way of your skin and completely forfeit it in other more important ways. A
woman will use gallons of lotion on each year to soften her hands, face, arms and legs, while keeping her weight down to a
skeletal figure that will practically leave punctures and bruises on a man making love to her.
Regardless of what the ads tell you, not all men like creamy skin on a gal. The men you’ll find up around twelve o’clock on
the synthesizer usually have a predilection for soft skin, soft flesh, and yes, even flabbiness. Six o’clock men, however, like
their women muscular, firm and sometimes like shoe-leather!
Take a tip from these extreme types. If a man likes extra-soft, translucent skin, chances are good he won’t like you skinny,
whereas if he goes for girls with a boyish figure, he’ll not mind if your skin is a trifle weather-beaten. The consistency of
your flesh is far more important than the delicacy of your skin. What makes the skin men love to touch is the flesh that lies
beneath.
There are four basic types of flesh, and each type corresponds to a position on the synthesizer clock. These basic types are:
three o’clock—sinewy; six o’clock—flabby; nine o’clock—rubbery; and twelve o’clock—hard. The older a man gets, the
more he likes extremes of his Demonic type. He starts out as a boy, liking the kind of girls that are almost female duplicates
of his Apparent self. Then suddenly, he will find himself falling for a girl that is exactly the opposite of every one he has ever
liked. It is at this time that he has reached true sexual maturity. He no longer is attracted to girls who are “sisters,” but to
those types he could never hope to find in his immediate family.
The same selective sexual maturity can be seen in girls, when a succession of childhood sweethearts of the type analogous
to the girl is followed by the one great love that is represented by a totally different type—the Demonic. We often see cases
where a girl has married her high school sweetheart and several years later the marriage falls apart when the woman meets a
man who is completely the opposite of her husband. The reason for this kind of occurrence and also the common failure of
childhood romances that later develop into bad marriages should be obvious. In instances such as these, a decided difference
in the flesh tone will be noticed between the wife and the other woman.
The first manifestations of an Apparent/Demonic change-over are seen in the hair and complexion. The boy who has
always liked girls who were fair and blonde will settle down with one who is a brunette with olive skin. The girl who has
only dated boys with dark hair and eyes will suddenly get serious about one with fair skin and sandy hair.
Just as these flesh and complexion variants are observable in a white environment, so will the be readily discernible in an
oriental culture or within the black community. All of the rules of personality analysis in this book apply to black people as
well as white. The same subtle differences exist in all races. One only ha to open his eyes to observe them. The old cliché that
“all ________ (fill in the blank with whatever race or nationality will be appropriate to the conversation) look alike to me”
can only be applied when one is prejudicial in the truest meaning of the word. Where one doesn’t want to see the difference
in types within a given ethnic group, the people comprising that group would, indeed, “all look alike.” An insect, asked by
another insect, to describe what it was that almost squashed them might reply that it was a person. Asked to elaborate, he
would probably drop the subject with, “How should I know? All humans look alike to me!”
If a man likes a firm, boyish figure when he is twenty-five, by the time he is forty he won'’ mind a few muscles and
tendons that show—in fact, he’ll secretly like them. If, in his younger years of adulthood, he goes for a baby doll type, by the
time he is twenty years old, he will revel in your dimpled thighs and little rolls of fat. If he won’t admit these things to you,
it’s only because he’s afraid you’ll think him “odd.”
Nothing can unconsciously turn a man off more than a musculature and flesh tone that is antithetical to his Demonic type.
This is why clothing is such a blessing, as it allows you to camouflage a great deal of your actual appearance. How much or
little of your flesh should be displayed, and under what conditions, will be explained later in the book. If a man likes his
women tawny and firm, nothing will repel him more than a cute, chubby body with milky skin. He will think of it only as
“sickenly flabby.” Conversely, the man who prefers his woman to be made of marshmallows and jelly will find little
stimulation in a gal who “feels like a guy.”
Of course, there are happy mediums, you are thinking. Yes, there are compromises between extremes, but don’t try too
hard to be “perfect” by spending all your time toning up your flesh and skin. The so-called perfect girls are the ones that scare
men off because they are neither fish nor fowl. The old saying really applies that advises, “If you try to please everybody,
you often wind up pleasing nobody.”
The importance of tactile communication is mo re important to women than to men. A man’s sexual and romantic interest is
generated principally through the sense of sight, followed by smell and hearing, with touch and taste last. It is interesting to
note that women place far less emphasis on male appearance; his odor, voice and touch are sometimes even more important
than how he appears. Witches should accordingly not make the mistake of thinking that massaging a man will turn him on,
unless it is actual manipulation of the sex organ. Most women respond strongly to massage, so therefore think a man will.
The men that respond sexually to a body massage are those whose Core is that of a woman. Heterosexual men who like
bodily massage invariably are stimulated by thoughts of lesbian activity between women and find lesbians very appealing.
Homosexual men are almost all stimulated by body massage as are virtually all women.
Rather than concentrate on actually caressing a man to charm him, allow him to think he is getting away with something.
Arrange it so that your body will touch his in a manner that can appear as by accident, or if you feel bold, use the old trick of
touching feet or legs under the table. This type of action, corny as it may seem, is infinitely more stimulating to a man than
hand caressing. It is partially because of the intimacy of having contact between parts of the body that would normally only
touch during sexual activity. Even while dancing the legs and feet seldom touch. Social contact with the hands between
persons of the same or opposite sexes occurs regularly in everyday life, so the hand loses a great deal of its potential as a
magical weapon.
To a woman, the emphasis is on the pleasure she receives through the tactile maneuvers of others. To a man, the erotic
emphasis is on the stimulation gained from feeling. Women like to be felt. Men like to feel. Don’t reverse the procedure,
unless you use your feet or legs for contact.
There are always those masochists who love a gal who will take a firm hand with them. These are often the types I
mentioned earlier that act the most sexually aggressive but really are pleading for a slap in the face or a bust in the mouth.
Wrestling matches are their thing, and the witch must use plenty of physical contact with them and treat them like the
comb ination of demanding mother and nurse they crave. Because these type men are often the most stable in the world of
business and finance, they are frequently good catches for the witch who is handy with her mitts and aggressive enough to
use them. Lady judo and karate experts are always tremendously appealing to these men, and masseuses likewise find
themselves catering to such types.
Wherever you find classes in touching and feeling, which seem to be popular now under a variety of esoteric names, you
will find them populated with people who are only one step removed from the topless bars and Playboy Clubs they deride as
being “look-but-don’t-touch.” In the case of these feely-academies, the standard of conduct is “feel-but-don’t-do.” Because
intellectual or pseudo-intellectual males would be attracted to caressing and pinching on a scholarly basis, don’t expect to see
much other than two to five o’clock types, both male and female, attacking their inhibitions at your local Center for Tactile
Enlightenment. The person running the show, however, will often be a socially gregarious bisexual eight to ten o’clock, who
likes to watch ten to twos feel each other up. Men in the eight to ten o’clock bracket will respond to a clinical approach to
sex, as their Demonic counterparts are on the intellectual side of the clock.
The one final tactile trick of the witch who is brazen has always been to reach down and touch a man’s penis, even if he is
clothed. Such a tactic requires a great deal of nerve, but is so blatantly outrageous that it will be guaranteed to get results.
Don’t grab or grasp, but subtly place your hand on it. If you are lady-like (yes, that’s what makes the difference!) he can’t
become offended, only flattered, spellbound or tremendously stimulated. Men are not subtle creatures by any means as the
most successful witches know.
The quotation you have just read might be referred to as the “Curse of Ovid.” It is an affliction common to witches who feel
they must adhere to the description of the Roman satirist, whose tongue-in-cheek description has been accepted as de rigeur.
If you have good looks and you want to be a witch, then you must exploit your beauty at every opportunity. Very few
women actually realize just how much emphasis a man places on appearance. You don’t have to be a flashy to get visual
attention either. Despite the sound of your voice, your scent or the texture of your skin, your appearance must command
attention. If you are really ugly, you must capitalize on your grotesqueness.
The truly ugly girl has others at a disadvantage, because rather than hurt her feelings, they will do things for her out of
guilt. If you are homely and light-hearted and call others’ attention to it, they will think you are a swell sport, talk about what
a shame it is behind your back and try to avoid appearing patronizing in your presence by not doing anything special for you.
If you are strange looking and act like you don’t really think so, trying to look as much like the others as possible, they will
still talk behind your back, but a little more cruelly. When you are in their presence their guilt at having done so, combined
with the fear of weakening your apparent self-confidence, will cause them to be extremely patronizing. Neither of these
patterns really gains you respect but only sympathy.
Respect based on accomplishment can only be given by those who are humble, wise, and themselves worthy of respect.
From those who have achieved little or nothing and are ego-starved and insecure, respect can only be gained through fear. If
you are genuinely grotesque in appearance, the two ingredients you must possess in order to gain respect are accomplishment
and awesomeness. Through accomplishment, you will gain respect from those who are just. With your awesomeness, you
will gain respect from those who are small-minded.
For centuries deformed and homely people were considered spawn of the Devil. I learned the present day formula while
working in carnivals, where I grew to know and love the people of the side show—the “human oddities” or “strange people,”
as they are called. The passing of the side show has left a void that psychologists could well study. It seems that public
sentiment and guilt at exhibiting deformed people caused the demise of this institution.*
No one ever consulted the performers themselves, however, as to their feelings on the matter. “They should not be
exploited.” It was “cruel,” it was said, “in bad taste,” “sadistic.” So the side shows folded and the freaks became “unfortunate
people who had a right to live just like anybody else”; so instead of getting paid while people stared, they got to go into
supermarkets with their normal niece, just like anybody else, and people nudged each other, and did double-takes, and ran
down the aisle to get their friend, and did exactly the same thing that twenty years earlier they would have paid to do and
done openly—not surreptitiously.
I say that if you are in any way beyond the help of glamorizing techniques, take the Devil’s name and play the Devil’s
game and let people know it, for you are the witch that Ovid cast for the world to see. Learn a skill. Paint, play, sculpt, write,
draw, read—so that those who matter will respect you because you are strange, wise and capable. Let your status as a witch
be known, not sanctimoniously, as a “good” witch or a “white” witch, but as a stereotyped witch, who has taken her lessons
straight from the Devil himself!
Wear the colors that would be consistent with your type on the synthesizer. Do everything else in accord with your type.
You will then be perfect, but strange looking, and that will confound others. You will be outrageous, because everything
about you will fit, despite your homeliness; and with your hint of secret powers, the small-minded will fear you, and well
they should, for should you follow this advice, you will have those powers.
If you’re pretty enough to attract men at all, you’ll be able to take advantage of the formulas contained in these chapters on
glamour. One of the most commonly asked questions by students of witchery, upon leaving some of the tricks which follow,
is “Why do I have to do that? I get enough attention as it is!” My answer to that is: A witch can never get too much attention,
and if you have a surplus, you not only have more victims from which to choose, but an abundance of potent lust-power
being poured into you. I will discuss the meaning of “lust-power” later on.
Another frequently asked question is “If I do all these outrageous things you say, what kind of men am I going to attract?”
The answer to this is, all kinds! If your objections to utilizing some of the methods I tell you are founded on your fear that the
only kind of men who will respond to you are the worst kind, get that thought out of your head. A pretty girl will be
propositioned wherever she goes, and the best or worst in men, depending upon your definition, will be influenced by the
environment in which you operate.
If you are a sexy witch, employing all of the accoutrements of outrageousness, and you go into a bar in the worst part of
town, all of the drifters, hustlers and winos will be goggle-eyed over you, and you will think, “That Anton LaVey is nuts!
Look at the kind of characters I attract when I come on like this!” Just try going to a fashionable cocktail party the same way,
though, and you’ll have all the women glaring at you and all the men swarming around you. Attend a business convention
and have businessmen clustering about; and present yourself at the Fourth of July planning committee dinner and find
yourself the darling of every Elk, Moose, Odd Fellow, Legionnaire, and Veteran of Foreign Wars.
What I’m trying to say is that you will steal the show, and the kind of men you attract will depend upon the type of theatre
you’re working! Don’t forget that sex appeal is a universal appeal and is not limited to certain economic or cultural levels. If
movie goddesses worried about only appealing to finer and more exclusive males, they would never get anyplace. This
doesn’t mean they have to go to bed with every guy that ogles them on the screen, much less even ever speak to them. It’s
just that if you utilize certain tricks that will create compulsion in enough people, you’ll soon be able to see the right face in
the crowd, and the old adage, “Them that has, gets,” will take on new meaning.
A most devastating stigma that can confront any witch is the fear of being” phony.” If you’re afraid of being considered
phony, you will surely fail. No matter what you do to appear otherwise, if you succeed in anything, there will always be the
charge of phoniness leveled against you by those who either can’t stand you success, don’t have the guts to do what you’re
doing or wish they’d thought of it first! If you remain within the bounds of public propriety (and most outrageous tactics
are!), perform your tasks or responsibilities in an efficient manner and are civil and courteous, you’d be surprised at the
things you can get away with in your appearance.
The witch ahs always been a rebel, but not in a way that she can be stereotyped. Her actions and appearance are far more
non-conforming than the wildest hair, grimiest clothes, mismatching attire and body-art of the most far out stereotyped
hippie. Yet with her subtle violations o taboos, the witch, in all her non-conformity, cannot be labeled a non-conformist!
This very paradox is one of the reasons for her power. She is, but she isn’t! She is a complete woman, a perfect
capsulization of her synthesizer type, yet she defies sacred cows the other women kneel before. Let’s see how she does it.

* Interestingly enough, almost all side show performers who were able acquired a skill or utilized a talent in conjunction
with the obvious drawing-power of their appearance, thus combining accomplishment with awesomeness.
Your Fur
Your hair color and style must be consistent with your image. Dominant men generally respond to long hair, passive men
to short hair. If you have long hair. Putting it up will make you appear more dominant. If you have short hair, buy a fall when
you wish to bewitch a dominant man. Dark haired witches are more appealing to passive males than blondes, who are always
considered to be softer. Many of the most famous sex symbols have been blonde twelve o’clocks (The late Jayne Mansfield
was a perfect example.), whose vast appeal lay in a deceptively blonde-haired baby face such as one would expect to see on a
six o’clock, resting on a slim-hipped, long-waisted, big-busted twelve o’clock body.
In trying people, one cannot go by the face, only the physique. The shape of the face, however, should have much to do
with the hair style and color one chooses. Hair style more than anything else but clothing is the most effective means for a
witch to safely modify her basic or Apparent type. There are certain stereotypes with which every competent witch should
familiarize herself. These will serve as a basis upon which to choose the proper hair style for the specific bewitchment she
has in mind.
The nature of a blonde is detected largely by the way the hair is worn, so don’t think just becoming a blonde will do the
trick. It all depends on what kind of blonde image you present. If your features are soft, and your hair is flaxen, you will
convey a virginal and innocent appearance—especially if you skin has a pinkish tint. If you are large, your flesh tone firm,
with a well-defined bone structure, and you have the same flaxen hair as the last girl, you can make like Brunhilde. If your
hair is too coarse for the Valkyrie image, you’ll be best in exotic roles like a jungle goddess. If your face is just ordinary, with
pleasant, regular features, an all-out platinum shoulder-length wig with lots of contrasting make-up will turn you into a real
blonde bombshell. All it takes in most cases is guts! A rather tousled dishwater blonde job, possibly frosted, with a roundish
face and the properly witchy eyes and mouth will be just the thing to pose as a bored housewife looking for excitement even
if you’re not married.
Remember, if you can’t present the image you want with your own hair, wigs are the thing to employ. First impressions are
lasting ones, and your appearance is the biggest part of any first impression you will make. I want to stress that your image as
a witch must be synonymous with enchantment, seduction and fascination which all adds up to glamour. You don’t have to
even consider going to bed with anyone you enchant. You are simply a purveyor of fantasy—fantasy in the mind of the
person you bewitch, and if you can give a man a good fantasy, you will have succeeded in throwing your spell.
One of the main complaints about wearing a wig is that you have to be careful that it doesn’t get displaced when you are in
the sack. I assume that most of the women who read this book want to bewitch. I’m not going to tell you how to make love or
even advocate promiscuity, because any gal can become popular if she sleeps with every guy that finds her appealing. A fool
and his money are soon popular, and a girl who feels she must go all the way to be accepted falls into the same category.
Have sex with whomever you like and as often as you wish, but don’t feel that you have to use sex indiscriminately to be a
compleat witch. Some of the most competent witches I know have one man and are perfectly satisfied with him, but use the
folly of other men who can’t accept the fact that such a relationship is possible.
Getting back to your crowning glory, the average American girl has long been stereotyped as having brown hair and a
name like Betty or Sue. The traditional girl-next -door has a tremendous appeal, and always will, so don’t sell brown hair
short. Brown has the advantage of being a good base from which to start. Styled in a soft manner, it will always give a feeling
of assurance that some of the best men need from a woman. Piled high, brown hair will give you the most efficient look.
Because this is the color of human values, you will fit into social activities with the least trouble and attract the person who
might be more antisocial around a blonde or redhead. There are some men who can’t stand blondes, and many who like
redheads even less.
Many men consider girls with black hair too exotic or tire of it easily. A little jet-black hair goes a long way if a man looks
at it as a novelty, and there are many cultures where there just isn’t much else from which to choose. There are so many
different shades of brown, ranging from molasses or maple to deep mahogany, that an infinite color variety is available to the
brunette with various rinses and tints.
The witch with black hair is the most frequent stereotype, and if you actually plan on advertising your craft, black hair is
best. No matter what will be done to dispell the old depictions of witches there are thousands of years of pre-paid publicity
for the raven-haired witch. Ask any child to describe a witch and, TV shows notwithstanding, you most likely will be told
that she has black hair. The semantic and religious angels are well established, so if you have black tresses and want to
bewitch, bear this in mind. Did you ever see a good fairy in a story book that didn’t have blonde hair? Or a saint? Or a
heroine? Not many, I’ll wager, yet invariably the wicked woman, witch, femme fatale, vampire, head matron, dean of girls or
female spy has black hair! Of course, there is always Snow White. If your face is sweet and innocent, with pale, translucent
skin and you have soft doe-eyes (they can’t be the least bit wicked!), then see what you can do with such an image. But keep
in mind that Snow White kept company with some very strange men.
Black-haired gals have an overwhelming appeal for masochistic males, exceeded only by redheads. Red-haired women are
the enfants terrible of the witchhood. If a girl has auburn hair she can pass as a brunette, but still call herself a redhead if the
situation warrants it. Likewise, a strawberry blonde can take credit for red hair if it will be to her advantage. But the witch
with flaming red hair had better be something special, or her fiery looks will stand in her way. It is not easy to maintain the
image that is required of the redhead. Consequently, many girls who are not natural redheads can’t stick with it for any length
of time once they have dyed their hair red. This is probably the only hair color that one must either be born into or be an
excellent full-time actress to carry off. Because redheads are all supposed to be hot tempered, this self-fulfilling prophecy
sees to it that they are.
A redhead’s image is cut out for her, so there is no other role she can play. Redheads are natural witches, because they have
literally been forced into a totally consistent type. Usually the shy retiring redhead has been a freckle-faced carrot-top since
birth. These girls occasionally can’t live up to the fiery redhead image and sometimes will tint their hair to tone down the red.
On the other hand, I have seen instances where introverted girls got just the spunkiness they were lacking by dying their hair
red.
The main disadvantage of red hair is the fact that most men either love it or hate it—nothing in between. The chance that
you’ll turn off the right man is more of a hazard than with other colors. But fetishistically, red hair is high on the compulsion
list, and he who goes for it will be your slave. Masochists adore redheads especially if you are up around the synthesizer
clock. Many men believe that redheads are more highly sexed and passionate than other women. This assumption has proven
detracting from the real qualities of many a redhead, whose suitor becomes disgruntled when he finds she is not some kind of
sex-maddened, lust-ridden, motel acrobat but only a passionate, responsive woman. Appearance wise, redheads cause more
conjecture than any other, and a cute seven o’clock, with white skin and plenty of freckles can excel as a delectably slatternly
strumpet!
If you are of an ethnic group that is predominated by black-haired people, don’t make the mistake of thinking that these
rules don’t apply to you. The only reason many Black people, Orientals, Latins, etc. don’t artificially modify their hair color,
is because they feel it would be “wrong” to do so. Such lack of objectivity can also be seen in Scandinavians who have great
pride in their blonde hair, but whose appearance might be more effective, in many cases, by darkening their hair. I feel
sympathy for witches who are of Black or Latin ancestry, who would like to have red hair or blonde hair but feel they “just
can’t.” You can do anything you damn well please with your appearance, if by doing so it will create an image that will lead
to greater powers of enchantment.
Invariably, somewhere along the path of sorcery, you’ll find yourself “selling out” to someone’s idea of what you should
look like. If your dear old granny like your soft brown hair and you want to be a blonde, you don’t dare bleach your hair, or
you’ll be “copping out” on granny. If your hair is red and like a Brillo pad, and everybody thinks you’re a great pal of an
Irish gal, just like Little Orphan Annie, you might want to slap a nice sleek back wig over that fine heritage, but you’ll be a
“cop-out” to all the folks you’ve known at the Knights of Columbus dance. If you’re Black and you stop traffic with your cat-
like movement and you’d look even more exotic with blonde hair, do it!
Pride in what you are doesn’t mean you have to squelch your female vanity. In recent years Japan has become loaded with
sexy blonde witches, who simply decided they liked blonde hair. Their ancestors and otherwise modifying hair color is
nothing new. It was done in ancient Egypt, Babylonia, India, China, Persia, etc. and many tribes in Africa and the South
Pacific have practiced it. Dying and bleaching of the hair was also practiced by many Indian tribes in Central and South
America and by native of New Zealand and Australia. Norsemen died their blonde hair black, put on bearskins, and went
forth as berserkers or the original werewolves! So no matter what you do with your hair, you’re not making any new
modifications, historically speaking.
An unpardonable sin in the make-up of a witch, is a mania for every hair being in place. No man is going to think you are
anything other than untouchable if you look the part, and there is no surer method of saying “hands off” than to look like your
hair is stamped out of molded plastic. Most hairdressers will agree that a few hair straying in the right manner can add rather
than detract from an attractive coiffure. If you have known enough men, you’ll be aware of the preoccupied many have for
mussing a woman’s hair. The idea is that it looks like she has been making love, and men hate chaste women (unless, of
course, it’s their mother, daughter, sister … or wife). Anything that makes a woman look a little shopworn, will turn a man
on, so muss that hair accordingly. This means that your hair must be styled, though, to really be effective when slightly
disarrayed. If you go about with straggly locks it will look as though you don’t give a damn, whereas if it looks like you’re a
lady who cares about her appearance, but your coiffure is a little mussed—that’s a different story!
In the previous chapter on fetish-finding, you will recall my mention of long hair. Exceedingly long tresses represent one
of the most commonly encountered fetishes, so every well-stocked witch should have a long hair piece in her bag of tricks.
There’s one to fall for you in every roomful, and he won’t be hard to spot, for his eyes will show you that you’ve hit the
jackpot with your Lady Godiva mane. And, yes, there are some guys who like hair so short on a woman that you’d wonder
why they’d even bother. Usually, these types would be better off with a nice male roommate, but would punch anybody’s
nose that dared suggest such a thing. If you need to keep such a man enchanted, maintaining a G.I. haircut isn’t as bad as it
used to be, thanks to the magic of wigs.
Your Undercoat
In our society underarm hair is a taboo that few other cultures share. In many countries, the absence of underarm
adornment is considered decidedly unwomanly. The obsession Americans have about underarm hygiene is considered
ridiculous by the majority of the world’s peoples. The main reason such a taboo exists in the U.S. is because the armpit has
never been considered an erogenous zone.
Like the nape of the neck in Oriental cultures, the arm pit holds a high position in European taste. It is easy to understand
why, when one considers that the hollow under the arm is a cleft, analogous only to one other on the body in appearance; and
like the crevice between the legs, it is normally kept closed and is covered with hair. Many old tales describe how the depth
of a woman’s sexual part may be measured by the size of her armpit. The whole idea seems so preposterous to most
researchers that no one has bothered to explore the armpit for any degree of sexual significance.
The men who get excited over a hair armpit are usually not impressed by the “naturalness” of it, but rather because of its
“nastiness.” For every man who likes his women’s skin smooth and hairless, there are always those who like them just a little
bit hirsute.*
Any violation of a taboo is sexually appealing to most men. Don’t expect to hear the low-down from men, concerning their
secret likes. Most will never tell. You’ll just have to find out for yourself if you don’t believe what I tell you. Most French,
Italian, Spanish and Greek men like a profuseness of underarm hair, and the bigger the forest the better.
A special item that has been produced in Japan for many years and is listed in early catalogues of sexual implements and
aides as “night flower” is nothing more than a patch of hair designed to cover the pubic area. Obviously, where there is an
incidence of sparseness of pubic hair, a toupee such as this can add a great deal of erotic stimulation. On the other hand,
where pubic hair is usually seen, the shaving of the area is considered the height of enticement.
How much or how little underarm or pubic hair, depends on the situation or environment in which your enchantment is to
take place. Underarm hair need not be like a bramble bush, but a little five o’clock shadow will never hurt, witchery-wise.
Your decision in such matters requires a thorough knowledge of the Law of the Forbidden as it applies to your culture.
Pubic hair or lack of same can be a delicate decision to make. Keeping your pubes shaved is a real job, and if you miss a
few days, the itching can drive you nuts. There are many men, though, who are tremendously excited by hairless sexual
equipage. The greatest advantage of a lack of pubic hair is manifested when there is no covering whatsoever over the area, as
in the case of nude models, etc. Under normal circumstances, however, a well-grown foliage can be used to great advantage.
Several years ago, I attended an annual affair in San Francisco, which is held in a beautiful grove, and is dedicated to the
pursuit of the photographic arts. Displays of the work of numerous photographers abound, and one of the highlights of the
day is a photo session with live pretty girls in swim suits for models. I might add that this is the traditional contest where
Miss San Francisco is chosen, who subsequently has a chance for Miss California and, hopefully, Miss America.
I was a police photographer at the time and had a couple of “human interest” type photos on exhibit and wasn’t the least bit
interested in wasting my time taking pictures of pretty girls. But, because there was all this commotion over by the stage
where the girls were lining up for the preliminary judging, I forced myself to take an objective interest. The contestants were
radiantly lovely, and Bert Parks would have loved each one. Their new swim suits, generously donated by warm-hearted
merchants, accentuated their youthful charms; and photographers or all shapes and sizes were clustered at the rim of the
outdoor stage, their shutters clicking frantically.
I noticed one bountiful lass was getting more attention than the rest, so I sidled over to examine her more thoroughly. She
was a delightful creature, with honey-blonde hair and had on a one-piece black job that contrasted strikingly with her
peaches-and-cream skin. Oh yes—and a few wisps of darker honey-blonde pubic hair sprouting out of each side of the “V”
between her thighs. The poor girl hadn’t shaved enough and didn’t think it showed, but all those nice men with their cameras
didn’t mind. In fact, I don’t think a single one wanted to spoil her day by telling her, which was quite chivalrous in this day
and age.
The girl with the most popular foliage in the park didn’t win a thing, except the undivided attention of many males and a
full charge of witch-power. I have since known that pubic hair, like all other aspects of the Law of the Forbidden, is always
effective when it’s not supposed to be seen. Think about that the next time you get out the razor or hair remover the night
before you go to the lake or beach or the afternoon prior to the costume party you’ll be attending as a stripper or can can
dancer!
In learning how to properly employ the Law of the Forbidden, you must realize that you, as a woman, are ideally suited for
such tactics. A man is limited by his clothing styles and even if he were able, he would find that women are not the voyeurs
he is, primarily because of the woman’s romantic approach to sex versus man’s role as a spectator.
If a man exposes himself by unzipping his trousers from behind a bush or in a doorway or subway, he has silently
proclaimed himself an exposer, a pervert, a dirty old man. He will most certainly be arrested if he keeps it up long enough
and be considered a social problem. If the same man wishes to remove all of his clothing, as a form of protest, as we see
happening in radical groups, he might get away with it, but he must still carry the stigma of the misfit, the social freak. He
can always join a nudist camp, but if sexual aims are his purpose, he’d better forget that idea, as he would be expelled at the
first sign of an erection. If there is a “free beach” nearby, he can cavort nude, but as in the case of social protest nudism and
nudist camps, he must go all the way, thereby labeling himself a rebel.
The woman has no such problems, as her potential avenues of indecent exposure are generally those that will allow her to
remain a part of established society. A smart witch need never lack for suitable opportunities to expose herself. Simply
exposing oneself is not enough, though. In order to compel and fascinate you must employ the Law of the Forbidden. The
biggest hurdle to overcome in applying this principle is the fear of embarrassment. There are two ways to do this, each
depending on your personality type. If you are thick-skinned and not naturally timid, you’re probably an exhibitionist
anyway, so the constant knowledge of what your new-found tricks are causing in the minds of your quarries should give you
the necessary confidence you need to overcome the fear of embarrassment. If you are shy and bashful by nature, the best way
to cope with this fear of embarrassment is to not even try!
You’ll notice I stress the “fear” of embarrassment, rather than embarrassment itself. This is because the idea is not to avoid
embarrassment, but to entertain it. If this sounds crazy, consider the very mechanism of embarrassment and you will be able
to see its virtue.
When you are embarrassed, you blush—the blood vessels of your face and neck dilate to let in more blood, in a manner
similar to the chameleon, who changes color when threatened so that he can match his surroundings and not be seen. This is
our natural throw-back to protective coloration. You have probably never realized the significance of this form of camouflage
when you’ve made the comment when telling of an embarrassing situation, “I could have crawled into a hole” or “I felt like
crawling into the woodwork.” To “hide one’s face in shame” is an expression that bears eloquent witness to the natural
protective coloration that blushing attempts to supply.
Now, the kind of situation that is engendered when we are embarrassed, and subsequently blush, is the very factor that will
produce a total reversal of the supercharging of adrenaline that at times of shock and emotional stress will cause our faces to
become whiter. The more we need to defend ourselves, the whiter we get. The more our need to “run away” or are confronted
with a feeling of helplessness, the redder we get. Whether a situation will cause an aggressive or defensive reaction
(whitening of the face) or a retreating and submissive reaction (blushing) depends on whether the situation calls for fighting
or hiding.
Animals that are fighters depend on their claws and fangs for survival. Animals who are hiders depend on being able to
crawl into a hole or climb up a tree. In setting up contrived situations of embarrassment you are not fighting nature. You are
cleverly employing what normally might be naturally unpleasant reactions towards a positive end.
In the practice of ceremonial magic and one of its principle ingredients, telepathic communication, one must either get his
adrenaline up in order to send or his submissiveness perfected in order to receive. Call it what you like, that’s the way it
works. When you place yourself in an embarrassing situation, you become submissive to your surroundings or else you
wouldn’t blush! Your very aura becomes one of awareness that everyone is looking at you, directing their interest towards
you, and in the case of a sexually stimulating situation, directing their energy towards you. You, them, become the magnet,
the flame, the psychic receptacle for all your viewer’s lust-energy. The fact that you are forcing and accelerating an intense
form of self-conscious submissiveness will produce what hours of meditation would fail to do insofar as your powers of
magnetic attraction are concerned.
Through your use of the Law of the Forbidden, you have visually presented an image that will artificially do your
“projecting” for you. Your appearance will serve as the out-going force that will snare your quarry, as an angler throws his
bait. The self-consciousness of your embarrassment will reel in your line.
We find the same phenomenon occurs in a negative fashion when the typical “victim” walks down the street. Victims,
whether they be those of rapists or swindlers, often attract their attackers—not because they subconsciously want to be
attacked, as is often assumed, but because of their intense fear of attack, which makes them ideal receptors. The man who
walks down the dark street with a gun in his pocket just hoping some strong-arm man will try to mug him will probably never
meet one. Nor will the gal with the black belt of Judo. Contrary to the usual assumption that when you look for trouble, you’ll
find it, these types aren’t looking so much as they are defensively prepared. The drunk who is just placidly boozed up enough
to not give a damn, the sweet old lady strolling through the park, the naïve nature-love exploring in the most likely murder
spots are sometimes attacked, but he odds are with them that they’ll keep on sauntering along without harm.
It’s the girl who is scared, who throws out the scent of fear, who wants to hide, to run, to crawl into a hole, that has been
raised on stories of men attacking her or who purposely goes out of her way to get scared or find “kicks” while thrilling at her
own daring—these are the “victims.” A great lesson can be learned from this sort of phenomenon, and the same basic
attraction force can be utilized to your advantage and with your control through the use of feminine sexual magnetism as a
result of embarrassment.
Now let’s define the difference between the type of embarrassment that you will employ from that which you will discard
even though any kind of embarrassment will make you feel like you’re at the mercy of others. Ideas and thoughts go from our
brain to various parts of our bodies via the autonomic nervous system. The kind of embarrassments you should conjure up
should be those which directly relate to sexual stimulation in your viewer.
If you are working and make a gross error in your bookkeeping that is discovered just after you have been bragging about
what a great office manager you are, you will go around with a red face for the rest of the day. But it’s highly unlikely you’ll
find any guy in the office that can identify your erroneous calculations with his sexual urge unless he’s turned on by strings
of digits! The fact that you’re embarrassed is manifested in your crimson face and perhaps a knot in your stomach and
hotness in your ears. Your autonomic nervous system has not sent your embarrassment manifestations to erogenous zones of
your body, because there is nothing of sexual nature, that you know of, concerned.
Supposing, though, the elastic broke and your panties fell down around your ankles (a popular subject for pin-up pictures).
Or when you discover that the roof of your building wasn’t so secluded as you thought when you opened your eyes after
momentary dozing off over the paperback you were reading to see the two men who had come up to fix the TV antenna
standing ten feet away and obviously not paying attention to their work. Or when you hung one on the office party and did a
strip number that you don’t quite remember, but nobody will let you forget. You can’t imagine how you could have ever
done that sort of thing, but every time you see certain men who were present and think of how much of you they have seen—
well…
The three cases of embarrassment I just mentioned had one thing in common—they involved sexual elements that
presented pleasure to those who viewed them. No one gets any erotic pleasure out of seeing a person become ill in a
restaurant though the situation can be most embarrassing to the person with the belly ache. Conversely, the pretty girl whose
skirt is blown up by a gust of wind delights all men present, and the redder her face gets, the more pleasure she gives.
A woman who realizes the implications of a pleasingly embarrassing situation will still be just as embarrassed, but her
autonomic nervous system—that which telegraphs from the brain to various parts of the body—will cause her to respond in
her erogenous zones. When you know you are exciting a man, you , too, can feel a sexual response in the knowledge of what
you are doing.
Anything you can do to provoke an embarrassment (submission) of a sexually provocative nature will cause you to throw
off the very scent that can cause men and animals to get horny. Don’t worry, as no one will attack you in a public place or at
a polite gathering, but the subconscious impulse will still be there.
How do you purposely provoke embarrassment? It’s easy. Just do something you wouldn’t feel right doing! Just make sure
it is something that would give sexual stimulation to someone else. If you have ten dresses and can’t make up your mind
which one to wear, choose the one that’s a little too short or too tight—in some way revealing—so that you will be self-
conscious while you are wearing it. You say you feel cheap? Good! Remember, “cheap” is just another term for “available,”
and every successful witch knows that available she is, but not to just anybody, and she seldom comes cheap.
Cartoon Cuties
Regardless of the attempts made by the fashion industry to foist questionable styles on women, there will always be certain
standards of sexiness that prevail. No matter how chunky shoes get or how shapeless dresses become, the basic wardrobe of
the witch will remain the same.
I find it amazing that women will live for the attention they receive from men and yet look to the pages of women’s
magazines for the styles to employ in their bewitchments. If a witch is wise, she will refer to men’s magazines for her
pointers in style. She won’t have to buy many such magazines, though, as repetition will set in at an early stage. When you
look at a man’s magazine to see what the perennial witch is wearing, don’t study the big centerfold or the slick photo essays.
Chances are good you’ll only see bikinis, G-strings, or no clothes at all. Instead turn to the cartoons. Yes, the cartoons—
especially the ones toward the back of the magazine. The reason for this is because the cartoons contain girls involved in
everyday situations, for the most part, and as such, they are clothed. But how are they clothed!
Invariably, they will be attired in the standard witch outfit, and I don’t mean a black cape and a pointy hat. They will be
wearing a rather skimpy dress which looks about two sizes too small and so thin that the lines of the body and sometimes the
undergarments are visible. The figure will always be full-blown—a mass of circles, so to speak. The face will always be pert,
exotic or provocative. The shoes will be as close as the cartoonist can get to an accurate rendition of a spike heel, and if the
girl is not bare-legged, she will be wearing stockings with visible tops and garters!
It seems that these masters of exaggeration—the cartoonists—know what will always catch the eye. They may change the
cut of a man’s suit from year to year, but a curvy cuties basic appearance—never! There are many periodicals devoted solely
to the cartoon art. Within the magical confines of their covers you will find the creations of a thousand Frankensteins—all
custom made, not dependent on the right model posing for the right photographer with her misguided idea of what to wear for
her photo session. Nor will you find any women in the cartoons who are any less pretty than the artist is capable of drawing.
It is true, many “girlie” magazines feature photos of models wearing some of the accouterments of the witch but seldom
will perfection be attained. This is due largely to the fact that the photographer often tries to be “up-to-date” more than the
cartoonist, as he is not limited to a particular style of drawing to which, once perfected, is most easily adhered. The
photographer can do much, but he is still limited to the whims of his model, insofar as he himself doesn’t want to impose
styles of dress which might brand him as some kind of nut. When a cartoonist draws his women, however, he is the
Pygmalion, the Creator, and no embarrassment need enter his mind nor inhibition stifle his art. Therefore, he creates the
eternal witch, the perennial courtesan, the all-pervading strumpet—in a manner that his artistic unconscious tells him is the
way a real woman should look.
Of course, the single word that exemplifies a cartoon is “exaggeration.” Let us take a very useful clue from this word in the
pursuit of practical witchery. The secret of the appeal of the cartoon enchantress lies in over-development. Her breasts are not
simply large. They are immense. They are either distended globules threatening to burst the fabric which encases them or
dangerously out-thrust projections. And the nipples! Not just a subtle termination of the breast, but an outgrowth the size of a
large ripe olive! Her hips are like motorcycle saddle bags and her waist must be all of sixteen inches. Her buttocks resemble a
pair of over-inflated basketballs and her features are those of a two-year-old baby. All in all, a monster, if such a creature
could actually exist.
Fortunately, our minds are used to sorting out three dimensions, so such grotesqueries are unnecessary for a sexy
appearance, as the girl in the cartoon exists in only two dimension. She therefore must have a little bit more going for her, to
make up for the other one. What we are primarily concerned with here, though, is her style of dress. Proportions must vary,
dependent on the number of dimensions seen, in order that the final observations will appear standardized.
Style is not in need of such optical manipulation, however, when rendered in a graphic manner. A tight dress is a tight
dress, whether seen on paper or in person. Likewise, a garter is a garter, a high heel is a style of shoe and a glimpse of panties
is not a rose, and I’m sure Gertrude Stein, who had her own interests in both, would agree. The uniform of the sex-type witch
will be seen in the clothing worn by the denizens of the single-panel cartoon, and in some cases, the comic strips. Don’t count
on the comic strips for a guide, though, as their creators pride themselves on maintaining fashion plate standards, especially
in the last few years. Of course, Blondie’s attire will probably never change much, nor will Olive Oyl’s, and Orphan Annie is
not to be trusted much either witchery-wise.
Accessories
Forget about hats that look like Boer war campaign numbers, Soviet secret police, Anzac and Roman lictor models, not to
mention French Foreign Legion kepis. You’ll be getting right back into the chrome-plated jump suit image. Instead, try a
saucy little number or wide sailor, and watch the reaction. Gloves are another accessory that can add to you allure.
The best kind of jewelry is often the simplest. Flashy rhinestones are fine if you’re a dominant personality type. Otherwise,
tasteful—even corny—necklaces, bracelets and earrings are in order. Unless you are an exotic type, avoid monstrous earrings
and arms full of bracelets. Likewise, ten-pound pendants and yards of beads and necklaces will make you look less like a
compleat witch and more like a complete fool.
The jewelry you wear must add to your appearance, by serving as tinsel or frosting on the cake, not as a walking museum
collection, where the embellishments have their own obvious meaning which will make them the point of interest rather than
you. Edith Head, one of the few designers whose creations could be worn by a compleat witch, maintains that only if a
compliment is directed at how lovely you look, rather than what a beautiful dress you’re wearing, can you truly feel flattered.
This is one point on which I agree with most notables in the field of fashion. Clothing, jewel and other accessories should
complement you, not outshine you. If they do overshadow you, the whole point is lost. The only exception to this would be if
you have nothing to enhance, which is true of the great number of fanatical fashion followers! If you have a small, tasteful
pendant or ring or bracelet that has particular significance to you, by all means wear it so long as it doesn’t detract from the
rest of you.
Concerning amulets, wear only one at a time, and tastefully, so it looks like a functional piece of jewelry. Would-be
witches are notorious for loading themselves up with so much hardware in the form of amulets and talismans that it’s a damn
good thing they don’t really fly on broomsticks since they’d never make it off the runway.
Witches whom I have personally trained wear a small round amulet bearing the Devil’s symbol—and inverted five-pointed
star with the head of the Sabbatic and Hebrew characters around the perimeter of the circle spelling out the name,
“Leviathan,” another manifestation of the name of Satan. Of course, there are times when it is more feasible to conceal such a
talisman and confine one’s neckwear to pearls or costume jewelry. If you are clever (or rich), it’s amazing what can be done,
though, and I know witches who have had the above-mentioned amulet wrought in diamonds, rubies and other precious
substances so at first glance it would not be interpreted as an amulet.
Just remember, your ability as a witch has nothing to do with how many pounds of amulets you wear. The only purpose an
amulet serves is as a reminder of what you want or represent. An amulet can, therefore, give you constant awareness of your
role, but constant awareness of your role will not accomplish a thing unless you have whatever other devices and actions
necessary to go with it.
6. Bitchcraft
Virtue is its own punishment—“nice girls” lose—and one of the surest signs of potential proficiency in witchcraft is an
inability to get along with other women.
This doesn’t mean that you should not know how to get along with members of your own sex, because a successful witch
can. It simply implies that you are certain to meet with disapproval from many women when you are not purposely trying to
gain their approval.
If you go around worrying about impressing women (who, of course, love nothing better than to know you care about what
they think) that automatically places you at their mercy. Outside of an admittedly homosexual group, all social circles that are
composed of exclusively men or women serve as retreats rather than boosts. To a group of highly successful businessmen, an
exclusively male organization can serve as either a retreat or contract ground for further business goals. This, in many ways,
makes sense. But for women (who are for better or worse ninety-nine percent dependent upon the support of men) to
congregate together, seeking each other’s approval, it is at best commiseration—at worst, ego shattering delusion and at all
times indicative that something is missing in the way of erotic or emotional fulfillment.
Every witch needs a friend, just as anybody else, but unless you can be the leader in a group of women, forget it! No other
gal is going to lead you down the path of success unless there’s something in it for her—romantically, financially or
vicariously; and for that matter, neither are very many men. At least when pleasing a man, you possess that little “something
different,” which makes all the difference—the representation of his Demonic self!
I have found that the most proficient witches are those who prefer the company of men to that of women. I’m sure
everyone reading this has lost out at one time or another simply because she was only concerned with her responsibility to
another girl. Chances are good that other girl planned and plotted very carefully whatever move it was that led to your
romantic or domestic failure yet was never once looked upon as a villain by anyone else. If you will think back on your own
personal situation, the other girl involved was one who didn’t quite have the things going for her that you did.
Maybe she was single and you were married, and she envied you for your smooth-running marriage or handsome husband.
Or possibly she was married to a real churl while your husband was a prize. Maybe it was an economic jealousy or one
inflamed by your talents or knowledge—possibly, looks? “Wait a minute,” you say, “the woman I have in mind was very
good looking and I should look that good. It couldn’t be that!” Don’t forget what you’ve read earlier in this book. Your
standards of female beauty don’t count! Naturally, you will think a gal is a real doll, who looks like you would like to look,
and invariably she will be your complete opposite type.
A girl’s worst enemy is always one who is the same physical type as herself, with slight modifications, and her best friend
is the complete opposite of herself. If you are tall, with an angular face, your best friend will be short with a round face. If
you are fair skinned with blue eyes, your best friend will be olive skinned with dark eyes. These are not oversimplifications
but excellent examples. The similarity in appearance between you and your worst enemy is an important factor in the ability
a witch can have to predict those who will bear watching. Therefore, there are two types of women to watch out for and who
will take away what you have or at least spoil your happiness if given half a chance. The first is the girl who is similar in
appearance to yourself but not quite as pretty. The second is the one who is totally opposite in appearance but not quite as
pretty.
If it sounds as though I’m contradicting myself, consider this: It’s easy enough to pass judgment on a girl who looks like
she might be your sister, finding all kinds of faults in her appearance. For this reason, an objective physical evaluation is
seldom made of a woman who resembles in any way the person who is passing judgment. Two girls of identical appearance
would be certain to find many flaws in the physical makeup of each other that would be lacking in whoever was speaking.
Therefore, the old cliché must be considered before negative judgment is passed: What does she have that I lack appearance-
wise? If you cannot find anything, then you’ll find her to be no real threat but one who would like to be!
Concerning other women of totally opposite types, the reverse is true when it comes to evaluating beauty. If a girl who
looks like you will invariably get a non-objective and critical evaluation, your female opposite will receive plaudits on her
good looks, even though she might be sadly wanting for allure. Here is where the lurking menace lies. Because your opposite,
and often best friend, is seen in a non-threatening light, you are willing to credit her with a degree of beauty she very often
lacks. While you tell others of her beauty, they listen, and they look and possibly the are not impressed, and she knows it, but
you, you fool, don’t! Resentment builds, and, out of resentment, however deeply buried, will come outlets for it. Little plots
are hatched, and soon you find yourself saddled with a genuine psychic vampire, who will drain you of your vital energy and
actually weep and moan (and not out of happiness!) whenever something nice happens to you. And you—sweet, nice,
virtuous, understanding thing that you are—pick right up on those vibrations, those feelings that there’s something wrong.
You concern yourself all the more with your friend and her welfare, as by now she is bound to have developed several
problems.
Make a little test, and tell a “friend” you suspect of being a rival of some wonderful thing that has just happened or is about
to happen, even if you have to invent it. Then watch her problems begin. Observe how her illness flares up or financial
problems suddenly appear or she bangs her car up or her child’s tonsils become infected—right now! If she shows her hand
after three such tests, you can be sure you don’t n eed her for a friend. I have written in my Satanic Bible: “Thrice-cursed are
the weak, whose insecurity makes them vile….” And these types can be very vile indeed yet hide their viciousness
admirably. All this falls into the classification of resentment, and resentment and disapproval go hand in hand.
To be a resourceful witch, you must be able to see the bitchiness in other women for exactly what it is, then in your own
way, beat them at their own game. You must learn to be a worse bitch than they.
It is more difficult for many women to be a bitch than a witch, and the nice gal that everyone likes so well, usually winds
up on the short end unless she has already attained a position of real security. In the business world, the most successful
women are those who have used their feminine wiles in reaching the top, not really concerning themselves about the other
woman’s approval but concentrating on bewitching men. Then, once they have reached the top, they can easily charm other
women. They have become strong enough so that other women, knowing themselves to be in a much lesser position, either
refrain from venting their envy, refuse to entertain it in the first place or, if they are stupid enough to try, make fools of
themselves.
Nice girls do lose in most cases. A girl who is every other girl’s big buddy is a drag to most men. Nothing bores a man
more than to hear about all the wonderful qualities of female friends. Listening to a girl talk about other men might make the
man angry, but hearing all about your sweet and harmonious friendships with other women will sicken and bore him. If you
start to talk about your hostile feelings towards another woman, though, his ears will perk up. A man won’t like you as a
bitch if your bitchiness is directed towards him, nor will he cater to it if it endangers his profession or the feelings of people
for whom he is concerned. Otherwise, he will usually be quite titillated by your bitchiness toward other women.
As a test, voice your wrath for another woman (even if non-existent) in the presence of a man you know, calling her every
name in the book. He’ll be all ears, and probably ask you to describe your foe’s appearance. Describe her as being built about
the same as yourself and in a manner that will convey the idea that she is attractive without your actually saying so. Your
listener will be supplied with vicarious fantasies, associations and projections, the complexities of which need not be
understood in order to be brought forth.
The main thing you will prove by his interest and attention is that men like bitches! They find them scintillating and
sexually stimulating, and it doesn’t matter whether you are dominant or passive by nature.
Learn to Be Stupid
It has been said that a donkey should never be sent to college, because nobody likes a smart ass. Very few men like a
woman who asserts her intelligence, and the truly smart witch will demonstrate how intelligent she is rather than pay lip
service to her mental prowess through the use of an awesome vocabulary. Of course nothing turns a man off more than an
utterly stupid woman, except one whose speech is laced with highly technical, analytical and clinical expressions when they
are not needed.
Countless comedy characterizations have been based on the pseudo-intellectual woman, yet there are plenty of them in our
midst. With these types, words become a substitute for sex appeal, for these women hate the fact that they were born as
women and want to be accepted on a basis other than femininity. There is nothing wrong with this, so long as there is no
desire to practice applied witchery, as sex, sentiment or wonder must accompany such a pursuit.
Intellectualism for its own sake seldom has any place in the behavior pattern of the witch, unless one can cleverly combine
it with sex and wonder themes. This would produce a glamorous lady mad-doctor, wearing a skimpy laboratory smock and
working amidst the surroundings and equipment of Frankenstein’s workshop. Such a woman would be expected to be highly
articulate, as it would be consistent with her image. Undoubtedly, she would find many men that would gladly submit to her
“experiments.” It should be obvious that in such a case, even pseudo-intellectualism is in order, as it is all part of the game.
If you find yourself inclined towards placing verbosity above your physical attributes, you must learn how to act stupid,
especially if your physical attributes are lavish. When I say stupid, I mean stupid! Overcompensation is the only means that
can be employed to artificially bring an overbalanced situation back to a central balance point. This is one law that applies in
all phases of magic. If you are a nut on using big words, you’ll have to force yourself to check your speech. Don’t worry that
you’ll make a fool of yourself, even if you throw in a few genuinely ignorant comments. If all else fails, you might try gum-
chewing. It’s pretty hard to be an intellectual with a mouth full of gum.
The gum who is in trouble is the one who is not very bright in the first place and tries to play the cute-but-dumb seductress.
She is simply making the worst of an already bad situation! The girl who is really intelligent can always afford to act less so;
but the girl who tries to act and talk in an intellectual manner but who lacks common sense will always fail. Any dumb belle
can learn a mouthful of big words, yet be at a loss when it comes to thinking anything out for herself. Such people are
educated morons, and if they could be shrunk down and feathers glued on them, would out-sell parrots, hands down.
Men do appreciate women with brains, but don’t ever kid yourself for one minute that you can use a totally intellectual
approach as a magical weapon when bewitching a man. His first thoughts will always be based on your appearance. Once
you have bedazzled him, you may allow him to realize you are intelligent as well. Then he will think he hit the jackpot when
he met you.
Intelligence is always of secondary importance in enchanting men, although it should eventually be apparent to any man
who is himself intelligent. No girl likes to be thought of as stupid, yet there is a vast difference between real stupidity and a
sensible restraint from the use of overbearing and high-flown pseudo-intellectualism. If such tasteful restraint from
unnecessary technical and scholarly verbosity is what you would consider stupidity, then you’d best study stupidity and learn
it well!
Giving In
Women assume themselves to be the ultimate romanticists. They feel that any man to whom they sexually succumb must
surely be forgotten insofar as any lasting romance is concerned. If a man is to be landed, it is thought, a girl must keep him in
abeyance until his commitment has been made. This common type of Victorian behavior still seems to serve as the standard.
The fallacy of such an inhibiting form of conduct can easily be discovered by any witch who is willing to objectively
experiment. In reality, it is the man who carefully plans his campaign to snare the woman of his choice, and when that
woman finally responds to his maneuvers, his ego will not let him readily discard that for which he has so strenuously
labored. The woman who thinks that she will easily lose a man whom she has inspired to pursue her will actually find that
she has to work at rejecting him, more often than not.
The surest way to lose a man whom you have bewitched—using sex or otherwise—is to worry about it. It is not the act of
sexual submission that causes a man to leave you, but the desperation you project at the fear of losing him. Practically every
case of outright rejection I’ve encountered is engendered by women who have only themselves to blame. These girls place a
man in such a defensive role at having “ruined” them, that even those who might otherwise have sold their souls for the
women in question wind up sneaking out while the gettin’s good.
Why do so many women play the game of “If you’re gonna play with me, it’s got to be for keeps?” Simply because they
have been so brainwashed by dubious moralisms that they would rather be stuck with a man who turns out to be a complete
washout and retain their “honor,” than to realize that sex to a man does not necessarily mean “love.” The male romantic
prognosis is exactly the reverse of the female, and every witch should learn this rule well.
Most women must first feel “romantic” stirrings, which, if strong enough, can lead to sexual encounters. In males,
however, the most lasting loves start with sexual activity. If a man has an opportunity to “skip the bullshit” and sexually
release himself with a woman whom he desires, shortly after meeting her, any real feelings of romantic love which might
exist will subsequently be able to be seen in their true light. The idyllic yearnings of the young man who demands not sex of
his beloved will seldom result in any mature and lasting relationship.
Men can be trapped, using sex as a weapon. It’s done every day. Very few meaningful and lasting romances or marriages
have ever been attained as a result of a deliberate denial of courtship sex, however. True, some have succeeded in spite of
sexual denial, but hardly ever because of it!
If a woman can free herself of the desperation she often feels for a man to whom she has given herself, his very pride will
prohibit him from hastily rejecting what he considers to be his conquest, unless he is one of the earlier-mentioned types who
only respect a woman who kicks to the groin, gains his “respect.” If this is the kind of man you want, you must do more than
simply deny him sexually, though. You must literally treat him like a worm.
7. Means of Divination
How to Tell Fortunes with No Previous Experience
Every witch should be able to hold her own when it comes to divination, fortune-telling and popular application of the
Black Arts. Unfortunately, altogether too much time is spent in studying occultism and far too little energy is expended in
learning the practical side of human behavior. The would-be witch who thinks she will become a wonder-worker by studying
cards or star charts had better spend a bit more time studying people, lest she become the victim of her own folly.
In order to know man well enough to manipulate him, we must be aware of the forces that motivate him, and it becomes
increasingly apparent that the psychic sciences have become a formidable motivating force, actually supplanting traditional
religions in many instances. You’ll notice that I treat the psychic sciences as a motivating factor in man’s behavior. By this, I
do not mean to imply that psychic “forces” are at work impelling man to do their bidding. I do mean, however, that the
techniques of the individual divinatory arts are but misdirection devices for the competent witch to use as she sees fit.
Let’s start with the most popular of the means of divination—astrology. Why astrology? What has insured its popularity? It
loses its continuity when any attempt is made to correlate its findings to the synthesizer, which seems to fit everything in the
Apparent/Demonic/Core range of personalities into perfect position, however subtle the gradation may be. Astrologers will
argue that their art is not, nor was it ever intended to type human beings, but merely to relate events to the movements of
heavenly bodies.
My answer to this is that people make events, and if the solar system doesn’t have any bearing on people’s activities, then a
lot of astrology magazines are sold under false pretenses to millions of people who believe, to a greater or lesser degree, what
they read. Before one even attempts to understand astrology, or any of the occult arts, he should ask himself “Why?” Usually,
the answer will be: “Because I want to learn what others have not learned.”
Next, it is automatically assumed that to learn what others do not fully know, one must study that which is not fully known
or at least that which is shrouded in mystery. Again, the Law of the Forbidden is seen in action. The assumption is always
that if there is anything important to be discovered, it will require a long, hard, esoteric search. Actually, all great discoveries
are made when they are practically tripped over, stumbled upon and “accidentally” uncovered. Despite all the physical
evidence of the usual non-esoteric means of discovery in the mundane sphere of our existence, seekers after magical and
occult discoveries persist in refusing to overturn the rock which lies at their very feet to observe what might hide beneath. It’s
too simple. And the mania for the forbidden will not allow it.
The greatest mistake any witch can make is to think that to accept and practice the force known as “magic” it will be
necessary to study great amounts of occult literature. The reason so few competent magicians exist, is because most persons
who seek magical wisdom approach it from an occultist’s point of view. The main reason for this is because what is
forbidden is always more fun, and the unknown is about as forbidden as you can get or it wouldn’t be unknown.
Anyone can crack a book about the history of Rome, how to make fireworks, flower arrangements, human anatomy, the
effect of music in Russian nationalism or why people commit suicide. “What the Hell does it matter why people commit
suicide or how people behave in nudist camps,” thinks the would-be witch or warlock. “That kind of book isn’t going to tell
me anything I want to know about casting spells !” The simple facts of the matter are that such study material is too easily
accessible, too mundane, too close to home and, therefore, it is not only uninteresting but also assumed to be worthless from
a magical point of view.
There are some subjects that have validity, which are pursued by occult scholars, but unfortunately precious few. One
example is handwriting analysis. If, however, many handwriting analysts would discard the occult sciences as a supplement
to graphology, they would be far more capable. Instead of learning the fine points of astrology, numerology, palmistry, etc.—
thinking them to be a worthwhile extension of graphology—it is far wiser to move in the other direction away from esoteric
ramblings.
Well, a study of the stars and their relation to human affairs is about as esoteric as you can get, so a great many people feel
that it’s an ideal place to start! But why not start at man and work outward utilizing what we know best as a basis? The
astrologer studies far-removed heavenly bodies, then attempts to correlate human activities, behavior and physical
appearance with the distant planets.
Why not start with man, the best known and most readily observable phenomenon? Man is the only thing in our known
universe with which we can irrevocably identify ourselves. Therefore, it is not correct to assume that all evaluation of
personality types and behavior must evolve from a study of man himself? We do not know how other things in our solar
system feel. We know how man feels, but do we want to admit to feelings? I say we do not, so we exteriorize them at every
opportunity, even insofar as our studies of ourselves are concerned as witness astrology. Instead of typing the known
universe, using ourselves as a base of operations, with gradations carefully selected, we seek to discover the nature of
ourselves through distant examples.
Can man ever really know himself? I say yes! But first he must study himself and others of his species. And even before he
studies himself, he must start small. He must study animals that walk on all-fours, then graduate to the parallels he can find in
himself. This is why I have based so much on our synthesizer, because it measures man and his predilections; and once this
subject is known well, the bigger things start snapping into focus. Sometimes these revelations appear frighteningly, other
times joyously, but at all times accompanied by that unique thrill that comes with discovery.
When one considers the reasons, it becomes easy to understand why astrology has become the most popular of all
divinatory sciences. Of course, a wise witch “believes” in astrology, because she knows that most everyone else does! If
enough people believe in something, then the successful manipulator will find a way to capitalize on such a belief. Like it or
not, that’s the way it is. If the competent witch knows where the stars will supposedly lead a person, she can be waiting, first
in line.
Belief in astrology on the part of others is one of the best magical weapons upon which any witch can rely. Even the most
skeptical will enjoy and emotionally accept what astrology has to tell them, because anything concerning one’s self is always
more interesting to hear about than anything else. Instead of telling you all about the methods of using astrology, I’ll tell you
why you should employ it. There are numerous books available on the subject, as simple or as intricate as you wish in their
teachings. If you learn to cast horoscopes, thereby assuming the role of astrological seer, you will find yourself able to set up
and arrange self-fulfilling prophecies with a remarkable degree of certainty.
The stars may affect no one at all, but astrology affects everyone! Here are a few reasons why:
1. It is based on a “scientific” principle—the solar system, mathematics, time, biology, endocrinology and who knows
what all—are incorporated into astrology.
2. It is a consistently available shot in the arm for the ego.
3. It is esoteric. It is easy enough, in its daily horoscope fashion, for anyone even of the simplest mind to understand; yet
it will allow those who wish to go deeper into its theology the opportunity for endless study.
4. It is a socially acceptable conversation piece which will allow gossip a fertile playground in that it permits people to
talk about others in an analytical way under the guise of “studying” them astrologically. This is done in much the same way
as some psychologists, social workers, marriage counselors, sexologists, etc. will “study” their clients or patients—secretly
for prurient rather than clinical reasons, except the astrology buff needs no credentials to do the same thing. Neither does a
bartender, but then he does not claim knowledge of an esoteric nature.
5. It is a much more scintillating conversation opener and sustainer than any other popular religion as it is ego based. One
will find few listeners at a social gathering if he approaches the person he wishes to meet with “What have you done lately to
please Jesus?” or “Where were you baptized?” On the other hand, “Under what sign were you born?” or “You must be a
Scorpio,” is almost sure to elicit a reply.
6. It is “safe” in that it is compatible with other religions. One can go to church on Sunday after reading his daily
horoscope without fear of even a gentle roasting.
7. It allows man freedom from having to make his own decisions. It has been said by almost all astrologers that the stars
impel, rather than compel. This means that unlike other gods of other religions (for that is what astrology has become to
many), there is no inflexible, whip-cracking, stern-faced Jehovah but a rather benign guidance from the solar system that
allows for human modification by those who are “aware.” Certainly a much more easy-going way of having someone or
something else make decisions for you and guide your destiny.
8. It is flexible in its application. There are no absolutes. Its ambiguity makes it difficult to totally discredit its message.
The findings of one astrologer can always be contradicted by another—the second astrologer taking other factors into
consideration that the first missed.
9. It has been around long enough to emboss itself on the collective unconscious so that even if we could ignore it, some
of our forebearers most likely could not.
10. It can gain substance by pointing at the moon and its obvious influence and announcing that if the moon can influence
the tides, behavior, etc., then so can planets, stars, etc. likewise influence earthly situations. This is the very successful trick
used by stage magicians; if one sword can be thrust through a previously inspected object which rests within a cabinet, and
afterwards the object is removed and shown to have been speared through by the sword, it is thereby assumed by the
audience that the pretty girl who then gets into the cabinet will be thoroughly impaled by the succession of numerous swords
in addition to the first one. We must not forget that at one time it was proclaimed that the moon contained lunar armies,
strange ships sailing on lunar seas and was even made of green cheese—while the same “experts” also knew the subtle
influences of distant planets upon the earth!
11. It can appear valid in that people do act the way their astrological signs imply they must. It is a fine case of the tail
wagging the dogma, the planets having nothing to do except provide a rationale for the dogma of astrology—the dogma
acting as the controlling factor—not the stars!
8. Ceremonial Magic
Sex Magic without Sanctimony
We’ve covered the spectrum of what the well-dressed witch should wear, but what about the well un-dressed enchantress?
Here we must return to the elemental principles of the Law of the Forbidden. Sheer nudity in itself is usually not nearly as
stimulating as a glimpse of the forbidden. Going about topless won’t accomplish a thing unless you radiate the feeling of
embarrassment it could bring.
Place a nude model on a platform in an art class, who does that sort of thing every day, and only the most inexperienced
males will find any erotic stimulation present. The types that go to museums and masturbate in front of a Titian or Renoir
when nobody’s looking are getting scarce. It takes a great deal more than nudity nowadays to compel sensual stimulation.
Topless clubs get boring, because the dancers are blasé about their exposure. They cannot radiate the powerful magic that
comes with embarrassment, even though the first five times they might have (which might have been why they got the job in
the first place). The greater success of “amateur” strip and topless performances attests to the fact that men want to see a
secretary, schoolteacher or another guy’s wife any day. Even though most “amateur” topless contests are fixed, with
obviously experienced girls working the show, the audience wants to believe the contestants are all terribly naughty,
apprehensive and embarrassed ladies. The girl who says “I could never do that” is the one who would cause the greatest
sensation if she were to do a strip tease or appear at a cocktail party in a topless dress. Her red face would insure her success
rather than the size or shape of her breasts.
One of the most magically depleting things that can happen, yet one that most witches would surely believe to be in their
favor, is for the girl who doesn’t think she could ever take her clothes off or go topless in front of others to discover that after
the “initial chock wore off after a few minutes if didn’t seem so bad.” The real secret, of course, is to maintain your self-
consciousness realizing it to be a positive factor.
When you adjust to a situation that would be sexually provocative to others and becomes blasé, you have literally cut off
your magnetic pull. The most highly successful and truly charismatic glamour goddesses never become blasé or lack self-
consciousness of their sexuality.
Most women know the old trick of unbuttoning one of the middle buttons of a blouse so that it will appear as though it
accidentally became unfastened. This is always good for a sneaky peak at what lies beneath as you move about. In utilizing
the Law of the Forbidden, you can make many of the things you do appear as though you were unaware of them happening.
Thus, you will be employing a double threat by your proper and conducive choice of garments and also by your apparent lack
of knowledge of your exposure.
So many opportunities present themselves that an entire volume could be written on the subject; and the most effective turn
ons will never look staged. These are “exercises” you should practice that will allow you to develop a hyper-awareness of
your own sexuality while remaining safe from any stigma of social rejection. Rather than call these “exercises in
embarrassment,” I prefer to label them exactly what they are intended to be—Magical Rituals.
It has been stated that all women are exhibitionists to a certain extent. The thrill that any healthy woman obtains when she
knows she is exciting a desirable male is the most natural thing in the world. So far I have attempted to clarify many of the
misconceptions about what men are turned on and off by. My findings are the results of many hours of listening to the
experiences of women whose business it is to please men and have them come back for more. Besides prostitutes, there are
ten times as many “average” women who have told me tales in great confidence that they invariably think will place each of
them or the men they describe in a singularly freakish light. When you hear enough of such “singular” experiences, it
becomes apparent that they are not so singular after all and are only thought to be by the individual.
The only thing you must realize, when performing little rituals in sexual self-consciousness, is the positive value of such an
experience. That there can be a secret thrill connected with each exercise there is little doubt. What is important, however, is
that you make a ritual of the experience. In order to be a powerful witch, you must learn the meaning of ritual in its most
magical sense.
A ritual is an act, or series of acts, that are entered into with complete and total awareness of one’s actions, plans, feelings
and purpose. All rituals do not take place in a specially designed chamber as you shall see. If you want to be a witch, you’d
best learn the three dimensions before you concern yourself with the fourth. The only way to start is to become aware of your
own existence—super aware! Then, in what will appear to be the most subtle and non-esoteric ways, make others who will
increase your witch-power aware of your existence!
Because their sexual energy is potential magical energy and nature intended that they be attracted to you, men are your best
source of witch-power. Therefore, by your own sexual self-consciousness, you can draw this power from the men who need
only to be placed within your magnetic field. Remember, the purpose of a ritual such as the one I’m about to describe is not
to pick men but to produce within yourself an accelerated charge of sexual self-consciousness.*
While performing your ritual, remain as aware as possible that your are doing something naughty, forbidden, possibly even
nasty. This is not the time to try to scrape your psyche clean with thoughts of breaking inhibitions and false guilts. This is the
time to turn unfounded guilts and inhibitions into an advantage! Allow yourself to feel as self-conscious as you can. You may
find that some rituals are more subjective than others and consist of situations of which you alone are aware. Naturally, these
will supply a great deal of sexual stimulation for yourself but not for others. The main advantage of such rituals is to generate
sexu al self-awareness in a highly intensified manner—infinitely more than simply standing nude before the mirror and
chanting as practiced by some witches. Here is one magical working any girl can perform with no equipment other than her
own body, a mirror and her normal clothes.
Undoubtedly, there are some of you who have already tried this, as it falls into the same category as undressing in front of
a window with the shade pulled up but is decidedly safer and much more stimulating. Apply your make-up so you feel as
though you look as seductive as possible. Fix your hair in an attractive manner. Take off all your clothes and step into the
sexiest pair of high-heels you own. Now you are glamorously decked out at your highest and lowest extremities, head to toe.
If you wish to add an extra fillip, put on some of your favorite accessories—hat, gloves, jewelry. Now you’re all set. Get a
good look at yourself in a full-length mirror, visualizing what you see as exactly how men will soon be looking at you. Go to
your closet and get your coat—only your coat and put it on and button it. Now go out.
Go where there will be people, especially men. If you are driving, stop in a gas station to use the rest room, so the
attendants can see you. Go into a newsstand for a pack of cigarettes, where men are playing the pinball machines. Walk
around. Go up to street repair men or construction workers and ask directions. At all times consider yourself to be stark
naked! Imagine that every man you encounter who looks at you is studying each contour of your luscious, ripe body—
savoring the sight of your nipples and scrutinizing the shadow between your legs.
Remember, you need not speak to anyone unless you want to. If you feel daring, go into a bar and have a drink. If it is
feasible, when in a place that you’re sure is temporarily deserted, as when you are alone in an elevator, museum or art
gallery, hotel or motel corridor, etc., open your coat all the way up and stand in the nude, momentarily caressing yourself if
you wish. Walk around until you have almost exhausted the time you have set aside for your ritual, then go home.
As soon as you get in your room, remove your coat and stand before the mirror. Imagine that you see yourself as a
desirable man would see you, perhaps one you encountered during your walk. Look at yourself from an imaginary man’s
body, allowing yourself to feel as sexually excited as you might, were you a man. As you gaze at yourself in the mirror,
picture yourself as being in one of the places you were prior to returning home. Imagine that you are one of the men that were
looking at you and how he must have felt being able to see you as you look now (for you must assume that he could see you
nude).
Didn’t you look absolutely shocking, your lovely body completely exposed as you shamefully flaunted yourself. Feel as
though you have a male sexual response as you study your reflection—you are not yourself, as you stand before the mirror.
Your reflection is really you. The body you feel around you is that of a handsome man, terribly aroused and excited at the
outrageous display of the sensual naked body of the girl who is exposing herself. Allow yourself to build to as high a peak of
sexual excitement as possible, masturbating yourself to a climax, attempting to feel as the man would as he watched the girl
(you) perform such an act in public.
As you are overcome by your sensual responses, close your eyes, fall to the floor, thrash about in wild abandon—or do
whatever will contribute to the most intense orgasm. Now is a very important time from a magical standpoint. As you are
coming down from your climax, say to yourself: “I am a witch; I have power over men!—I am a witch; I have power over
men!” Repeat this over and over, as your climatic recedes. Keep saying it to yourself, moving your lips and speaking as
loudly or softly or inaudibly as conditions will permit.
Then, either slip into your clothes and pursue your normal activities as though nothing had happened, or if it is late, slide
into bed and go to sleep. The first time you perform this ritual, you might want to go easy, and just walk around the block or
go to the laundromat, possibly spending only a few minutes in public. You’ll find at least an hour is best, though. After the
first ritual, you should notice an immediate increase in your powers of attraction, and you will know that you are
accumulating some real witch-power.
This ritual is truly discreet and is virtually fool-proof insofar as your personal safety is concerned, providing you don’t go
wandering in disreputable areas or senselessly throw open your coat in an indiscriminate fashion.
The actual mechanics of the ritual just described serve to bring about many vitally important ingredients towards your
success as a witch. The emphasis on the power of strong contrasts is supplied by the fact that you are “dressed up” in all the
readily visible areas of your body while totally naked under your coat. The same element is present in the incongruity of
mingling with people who are clothed while you are naked in an unstaged environment. If this does not present a feeling of
self-consciousness, you’ll never make it as a witch, for you lack the emotional response of the individuals on whom you
would be working your magic. If you are so alien to other’s emotional responses, I would recommend you give up on trying
to be a witch or else take a few lessons from a Martian or Venusian who has learned to “pass.”
The Law of the Forbidden is subjectively practiced in your constant awareness of your outrageous behavior. Any
embarrassment you develop while walking around will cause you to be noticed by men who normally might not pay any
attention to you simply because you are radiating “that feeling,” not because anyone actually knows you are naked.
Momentarily exposing yourself completely, as in an elevator, etc. will give you an added thrill in knowing you are getting
away with something, thereby adding to your accumulation of secret accomplishment and subsequent power. Even though
your objective mind might not consider such an act an accomplishment, in your highly-charged state, it will subconsciously
go on record as such!ï
When you return home from your walk, you begin an exercise in ego-circuitry, allowing both your Apparent and Demonic
elements to manifest themselves. The mirror has long been utilized for magical purposes, though few practitioners actually
realize the fantastic potential and myriad uses of reflective planes. During the detumescence period, your self-proclamation
will retain its substance, as you mind and body are unwinding and opening and are like a yawning chasm just waiting for
suggestions. This is the time a woman wants to be told she is loved more than any other, because the reinforcement to her
psyche that such an admission brings is worth a thousand hugs and kisses at any other time. When you tell yourself exactly
what you are at this point and that you have power over men, you are accomplishing far more than a simple exercise in
positive thinking.
When you resume your normal activities, after getting dressed, you have symbolically closed your ritual chamber behind
you, thereby isolating your previous act and making it a ritual in the truest sense of the word.∇ The combination of all the
elements we have discussed cannot help but have an accumulative side-effect in the awareness you have of your own powers
of seduction and the aura which will surround you.
--------
* As with so many commonly-used terms, the literal meaning of “self-consciousness” is often forgotten, whereas the popular usage, e.g.,
ill at ease, embarrassed, etc. is most frequently brought to mind when the term is used In the context of ritualistic self-consciousness, I
intend to imply both the literal or semantic: conscious or yourself, hyper-aware of your own sensations and being and the popular:
embarrassment felt by you resulting from another person’s awareness of you in a particular situation.
ï
This is the type of ritual that could well be practiced by girls and women who are addicted to shoplifting, as it is well known that such
behavior is often of a sexual nature. The thrill and subsequent accomplishment of stealing an un-needed or worthless article serves to
accumulate a secret sort of prowess. In training witches-to-be, I have found that many girls who have had compulsions to shoplift, once put
on this ritualistic “prescription,” lose all such desires to steal.
∇
I have expanded on the mechanics of the ritual chamber and its magical importance as an isolation device in my Satanic Bible.
Casting a Spell
Before you consider spell-casting, you must be totally aware of yourself as a veritable dynamo of desire. You cannot be
half-hearted when you attempt to throw a spell or curse. You must know what you want and be fully prepared to take
advantage of it when it comes to you.
Magic depends on an emotional response rather than an intellectual approach. When you are spell-casting, you must be
prepared to throw all emotional repressions and inhibitions to the wind. This is why the casting of a spell is best performed in
the sanctity of your home or a place where you can be alone. Group rituals are seldom as effective for the actual throwing of
a curse or charm unless each one of the participants is fully in sympathy for whatever the ceremony is to attain. Otherwise,
group ceremonies are best employed as statements of faith, dedication and homage to the Dark Forces, much as a church
service would be, but to different gods. You don’t have to be Satanic to enjoy a nude altar, but apparently it helps if you’re a
man. There is no doubt, though, that the solemnity and Gothic awesomeness of a good Satanic Mass would warm the heart of
Barnabas Collins!
For your personal ceremonies you’ll need privacy, a good imagination, some creative ability and the proper time slot.
Time-wise, it’s always best to attack your victim while he sleeps, vampire-style. The reason so many traditional witches and
sorcerers are nocturnal is because it’s the best time to do such dirty work. When a person is asleep, his defenses are down, his
subconscious up and his brain is receptive to whatever strong impulses you can throw his way. The ideal state for the witch
who is “sending” is one of highly charged emotion, while the best condition for the recipient to be in is as passive and
dormant as possible. Take a nap, if need be, and wake up in the wee small hours to perform your spell.
There are many ways to curse an enemy, using the powers of ceremonial magic, but the main difference in any of them is
in the device employed to approximate or imitate the victim. Pictures, photos, wax or clay models, among other things can be
created of your intended victim, but the device that I would recommend best is a hand-made doll similar in construction to
those used in the practice of voodoo magic. The voodoo doll has become synonymous with cursing, and if for no other reason
than this ready-made association, should such an effigy be used.
The importance of making your own voodoo doll can not be minimized, as the creative energy you expend in fashioning
the doll will definitely add to the effectiveness of your ritual. Adherence to the prescribed method of making the doll requires
that you use plain material for the outside and stuff the inside with feathers or cotton. Despite what you might hear to the
contrary, the best color is the basic color of the victim’s skin. You may make a very effective doll from a pair of new socks,
which are readily obtainable. IMPORTANT!: Whatever you do, don’t use material that you have worn from which to fashion
the doll nor salvage material from clothing worn by anyone for whom you care.
Use one of the socks, slitting the ankle part in half to the heel, for the body of the doll. Fill the sock with feathers until you
reach the back of the heel where the slit you have just made ends. Now sew up the slit so the two halves form the legs. Fill
each leg with feathers and sew up the ends, forming feet. Next, take a piece of string and tie it tightly around the toe of the
sock about two inches from the end, forming the neck which separates the head from the torso. If you have done all of this
correctly, the toe of the sock should form the head, the foot part will become the body, and the ankle or the leg section of the
sock will be transformed into the two legs. The second sock may now be cut up for use in making the two arms of the doll,
which after being stuffed with the feathers, are sewn to the body.
The doll should be sewn by hand for best results as a sewing machine for such a small item will most certainly eliminate
the personal touch you supply by hand-stitching. Each stitch should be drawn with tender loving hate, thinking of your
enemy with each thrust of the needle!
Next, you must supply the head of the doll with the face of your enemy or at least a reasonable facsimile. If you are
talented at drawing, you can sketch a likeness, cut it out and paste or glue it on the doll’s head. If you are fortunate enough to
have a photograph of your enemy, so much the better—especially if, when trimmed down, the photo will fit in the place
where the face should be.
Now the doll must be dressed. If you can obtain an article or a portion of your enemy’s clothing, utilize it, as it will ad to
the imagery. It helps to dress the doll in a way that resembles the style of the person to be cursed, as regards to color,
material, etc. If the victim has a particular habit, such as carrying a cane, umbrella or briefcase—or uses a certain type of tool
regularly—it should be incorporated into the doll by placing a miniature of the implement in the hand. By the time you have
finished, the doll should be a vivid representation, carefully constructed, of your enemy.
Put the finished doll aside for twenty-four hours, if possible in a place where you cannot fail to see it. This will allow the
anticipation of what you are about to do to become intensified by the anger engendered by being confronted with your
enemy.
After twenty-four hours have elapsed enough of a presence has been developed in the doll. Have your pins or nails ready to
stick into the doll. The use of nails, rather than pins, is recommended, but other implements, such as knives, daggers, ice
picks, etc. may be used. It is wise to ascertain the victim’s “weak spots” health-wise. The reason for this is that the curse will
work much better and faster if the victim has been known to have stomach trouble and the nails are thrust in the vicinity of
the doll’s stomach. If the person to be cursed is known to have migraine headaches, concentrate the nails in the doll’s head. If
there is a history of arthritis or aching joints, poke your nails where the knees, elbows, spine, shoulders, wrists and hips
would be. When you push the nails into the doll, do it with great deliberation, feeling as though each twist and jab is actually
penetrating your victim’s body. Use as many nails as your wish until you have gotten all the hatred out of your system.
Once this is done, put the doll away in a place where it will be out of sight and, hopefully, out of mind. It is best to perform
this ritual in complete privacy as it is serious business.
If done properly, it is not necessary that your victim have any knowledge of your curse. If no results are obtained it is not
because magic doesn’t work. One reason might lie in the fact that your victim is not really deserving of such treatment and
you are the wrongdoer! It is best to fully and honestly evaluate a situation before indiscriminately throwing a curse. The best
protection against any curse is the admiration and love bestowed upon you by others.
Another reason a curse will sometimes fail is anxiety. If you sit around waiting on pins and needles for your victim to fall
and break a leg after performing your ritual, it is unlikely anything will happen. So once your ritual has been performed, be
satisfied that you have performed a powerful and well-planned working and have confidence that it will work. Then just sit
back and wait for the results, without continually thinking about when and how it will happen.
A third, and very important reason for failure is guilt. The person doing the cursing mu st feel no guilty conscience at
having performed the ceremony, or the ensuing apprehension at what she has done will surely consume her while her
intended victim gets away scot free! This is why “white” witches stupidly say that if you curse a person it will return three-
fold. If you are so sanctimonious that you have to impress others that you are a “white” (good) witch, it’s a cinch that you
would feel such guilt after throwing a curse that it would bounce back and harm you!
One thing stands sure, though: even if your intended victim is protected from your curse and not harmed, you will have
released a lot of anxiety and hostility from your system and will be able to carry one your everyday activities with much
greater ease. If everybody were sticking pins in dolls instead of irritating others, driving recklessly, starting fights and
insulting their friends, things might actually be running a lot smoother!
Hate can be a good thing, if properly directed and honestly admitted. When hate is bottled up, however, and attempts are
made to twist it into love, it is still hate—just with sugar-coating added! Then, instead of being able to come out in one fell
swoop, that hate just sits there, oozing out in disguised, syrupy-sweet viciousness or irrational acts!
How to Become a Succubus and Attack the Man of Your Choice While He Sleeps
A succubus is an evil female demon who visits men in the night and, while they are sleeping, has sexual intercourse with
them. A man knows he has been attacked by a succubus when he wakes up in the morning and his night shirt is stiff with
dried semen. He is likely to go about all the following day with lewd thoughts in his mind, generally of a woman, the
appearance of whom was the image taken by the succubus who attacked him.
If he is a good man, and holy, he will not let this thing pass unattended. He will seek out his priest, telling him of his
nightmarish experience and produce his rigid nightgown as proof. He will describe the dream which accompanied his
monstrous visitation, recalling to the best of his ability the details of his encounter. The priest, a wise man, will understand, as
he knows such evil does exist and has heard many such accounts and inspected many semen-encrusted nightshirts. The fact
that many of the succubae described to him match the faces and bodies of some of the women of the town concerns him no
small amount as well it should. Something must be done.
A great deal was done, for several centuries. Now at last it is safe to become a succubus and enter dreams of the man you
desire. All you need is an indelible image of his physical attributes in your mind, a burning lust, a place to work it out, and
some help from other men!
Choose a time when he has been asleep for at least four hours. Exercise your sensuality by going forth earlier in a manner
to excite other men, even if only visually, employing the Law of the Forbidden and the Virtues of Embarrassment. Do not
depend upon your strong desire for the man you wish to summon, as it alone is not enough. It is important that you engender
the lust-energy from other men, as they will be supplying, through their sexual fantasies of you this night, the proper
balance—the completed circuit of needed magical energy.
Enter your chamber at the prescribed hour and start to masturbate. If you can force his image into your mind at the exact
moment of climax, it is highly likely he will receive your visitation. If a man who is masturbating with your image in his
mind or who is having intercourse with your should reach climax, and at that time you envision the object of your desire and
you yourself reach a climax while thinking of your quarry, you will be sure to reach him as he sleeps.
If you wish, add some incantations or burn some incense or candles to make your charm more “magical.” Women are
romantic; and witches are, after all, women, so much devices will always be popular. In the way of accouterments, whatever
makes you feel like a witch, who is casting a powerful spell, will make your magic stronger. If the man you have visited does
not come to you, it is only because he needs to be summoned, not because you are not in his mind.
As a succubus, the purpose of your working is to enter his mind and body as he sleeps, although such things often prohibit
sleep and cause him to lie awake with a knot in his solar plexus. Once you have vis ited him in this manner and caused his
mind to dwell upon you, you must summon him.
The reason lust spells seldom work for would-be witches is because the victim has not been softened up properly, prior to
the ritual, which is actually a summons. For the actual summoning, many rituals can be employed. Here is one example.
A few days after your visit as a succubus, or even the next day if you’re anxious, perform the ritual as described in the
chapter on “Sex Magic.” Instead of envisioning the excitement of the men you have encountered during your “outing,” as
you stand before the mirror, imagine yourself as the man you wish to summon and talk to him from the mirror. As he stands
in your body he hears you command him to come to you. Make it as convincing as you can, using the same procedure and
reaching your climax as you would if you were practicing this ritual as a “strengthening” rather than a summoning.
Perform the succubus and summoning ritual as often as you feel the desire. If you persevere, your “dream lover” will
become a physical reality. Unless you learn well the “lesser” magic contained herein, however, you have no right to complain
if your summoning is short-lived. Always remember, there is far more magic to witchery than that which takes place during a
ceremony.
