A rare look into the history, theory, and craft of the black mages
and sorcerers of Russia Born in the Soviet Union and descended from
a matrilineal line of witches, Natasha Helvin offers a rare look
into the secret practices of Russian black magic, passed down from
teacher to disciple for generations both orally and through their
grimoires bound in black. Drawing from her own experience, Helvin
provides insight into the fundamental ideology of black magic
practitioners, from the universal laws of magic to the principles
of morality. She explains a mage's view on fate and predestination,
how the world was created, and their relationship with the demons
that grant them their power. She examines the demonic pantheon as
well as how a black sorcerer is able to influence the forces in the
universe and pass on his or her powers and knowledge to further
generations. Exploring the history of occult practices in Russia,
including how Christianity had a profound effect upon magic and
witchcraft, Helvin shows how attempts to forcibly convert the
Russian population to the Christian faith were widely resisted, and
instead of these ancient pagan practices disappearing, they blended
with Christian belief. Authorities repainted old pagan gods as
demons in order to eradicate ancient traditions. Black magic became
labelled as defiantly anti-Christian simply for preserving the old
ways, and as a result, some branches of black magic evolved as a
reaction against enforced Christianity and practitioners proudly
accepted the label of "blasphemer" or "heretic." Through this book,
readers can explore the Left-Hand path of Russian magic and its
spells and rituals. The author explains about cemetery magic,
sacrifices, the creation of Hell Icons, and places of power, such
as crossroads, swamps, and abandoned villages, as well as the best
times to practice black magic, how to choose the best grave for
your spell, and how to summon demons. Providing many concrete
examples of spells, Helvin demonstrates the broad range of what can
be accomplished by those who practice the black arts, if they
commit themselves to the craft.
