From: Father Vincent
Subject: Those Texts You Wanted.
I've compiled all of the texts concerning the religious faith, and the group known as The Order.
"Aglaophotis"
Made from from the above-mentioned White Claudia, this drug has long been
used to perform exorcisms. It is a viscous liquid, red in color, and is also
administered as a remedy for illnesses for which the cause is not known."
"Aglaophotis"
Aglaophotis
Red liquid or crystals resembling
blood. According to the Kabbalah,
the name is taken from an herb with
the power to dispel evil spirits. It is
said to grow in Arabian deserts.
It may be vaporized or applied as
a poultice to guard against demons.
It is powerful, but as it is rare, it is
extremely difficult to obtain.
Flauros Device: Origin unknown.
The device is first mentioned in the
poetry of Chang Ch'ien, an advisor
to members of the early Han
dynasty. In one of his tracts, Chang
Ch'ien jokes he trapped a demon
inside his 'three sided box'.
When Chang Ch'ien died in a
terrible fire at the imperial palace
in 115 BC, the device appeared
lost.
It was later rumored to be in
possession of Lutheran monk M. G.
Lewis, who in 1796 spoke of its
ability to control and amplify
thought. It was Lewis who linked it
not to a demon, but to God
himself, claiming it was a weapon
left by angels as a force for good.
"About the cult's symbol"
Represents the deity known as
"The Halo of the Sun." In heraldry,
symbolizes a religious group.
The two outer circles are charity and
resurrection; the three inner circles
are present, past, and future.
Usually drawn in red. Occasionally
drawn in black or other colors, but
blue reverses the meaning into a
curse on God and is therefore
forbidden.
"Otherworld Laws"
This magic square, with strong protective and dispelling
properties, is called the 'Virun VII crest' or the 'Seal
of Metatron'.
It will bring results regardless of whether the target is
good or evil; its strength, therefore,
places a very high burden on the caster.
As it is also difficult to control, it is not usually used.
This is why it bears the name 'Metatron' after the angel Metatron
(or Metratron) also known as the Agent of God.
"Dictionary of Religious Science"
"Depending on the region each have the characteristic of having individual doctrines. From ancient times the practice of offering a living sacrifice was the only way to avoid disaster.
Most believers are those who have chosen to renounce the world for the sake of their beliefs, while those believers who can not yet give up their material possessions need to deepen their knowledge of the sacred texts. However, some believers have a tendency to strictly hide the fact
that they are believers from others.
This is because they believed that if the fact that they are believers becomes known then their effectiveness would become nothing.
Even with black magic, which is thought to have vanished in present times, its magical spells are actively researched in such areas.
In that process an altar set alight with a sacred flame and a symbolic seal were required. Then by summoning an evil being and bringing it to contact with a saint a new existence is said to be able to be created.
In this case the saint is not limited to a priest, as an inanimate object can also be used."
"Lost Memories: 1"
I have the strongest trust - you may
even call it faith - in the miracle
called "Resurrection of the Dead".
Upon the hill where
the light descended,
the Beast intoned his song.
With words of blood,
drops of mist and
the vessel of night,
the grave become an open field.
The people wept in fear and joy
at the reunion, but my faith in the
salvation of Xuchilpaba did not
waver.
It is also spoken of in the ancient
legends. The original worshippers
did not believe that death was the
end but that it was simply the path
by which the deceased returned to
nature. They also believed the
process was reversible.
"Lost Memories: 2"
One characteristic, mentioned only
in rare documents and dying out in
the modern age, is that of the ritual
sacrifice.
"Offering prayers, pierce a man's
chest with a copper stake. Drench
the altar in the blood which spouts
red from the heart, to praise and to
show loyalty unto God."
In another sacrificial rite mentioned
in the same book, the victim is
burned alive.
This was a more dignified ceremony
in which prisoners and sinners were
not allowed to participate. Only the
clergy could be sacrificed.
Similar to burning at the stake, no
comparable rite can be found in
religions practiced nearby. It may
have some connection with the
main deity being a sun god.
Even though this religion extols
redemption, it brings to mind a
dark and cultish history.
"About syncretic religions"
There is no religion that has
remained unchanged from the
moment it was founded.
This one is no exception.
When this religion fell into the
hands of immigrants, it was deeply
influenced by their own original
Christian beliefs.
For example, the traditional
representatives of these primal
gods may be given the names and
descriptions of Christian angels.
This shared characteristics being
to appear.
(There is also one rare example
of the chief deity, "Creator of
Paradise" or "Lord of Serpents
and Reeds", being dubbed with
a demon's name. Of course, this
was not done by believers, but
by their opponents.)
NOTE ON THE RITUAL
...it is believed a being of
tremendous mental energy may
become a vessel capable of giving
birth to Samael, the God
worshipped by this cult.
Samael's arrival will bring forth
Paradise on Earth.
"Crimson Ceremony"
Speak.
I am the Crimson One.
The lies and the mist are
not they but I.
You all know that I am One.
Yes, and the One is I.
Believers hearken to me!
Twenty score men and
seven thousand beasts.
Heed my words and speaketh them
to all, that they shall ever be
obeyed even under the light of
the proud and merciless sun.
I shall bring down bitter vengeance
upon thee and thou shalt suffer
my eternal wrath.
The beauty of the withering flower
and the last struggles of the dying
man, they are my blessings.
Thou shalt ever call upon me and
all that is me in the place that is
silent.
Oh, proud fragrance of life which
flies towards the heart. Oh Cup
which brims with the whitest of
wine, it is in thee that all begins.
"Three Boards"
"White Board" - When the White Breath is found,
I shall dedicate this thing.
Oh Spirit of the Mist,
Grant us fortune eternal.
"Black Board" - When the Dark Grail is found,
I shall dedicate this thing.
You who deny Death,
Grant us fortune eternal.
"Red Board" - When the Crimson Words are found,
I shall dedicate this thing.
Oh you Gods deep in slumber,
Grant us fortune eternal.
PRAYER TO GOD
Stained by the evils of this world, we hold our sorrows within us. Only you heal us these wounds. Each morning, afternoon, evening and night, we call out your name and pray for the day of the miraculous descent. I give to you unreservedly, my body and my eternal soul. Whatever darkness may befall me, I will endure with you beside me. As proof of your miraculous power, guide our obedient and willing souls to the Road of Paradise, Oh Lord.
We will not give in to the power of temptation as long as we have you in our hearts.
Oh Lord
Save us, with your compassion
Oh Lord
Shower us with your blessings.
Oh Lord
Favor us with your abundance.
"Myth"
MYTH - 1 ORIGIN
In the beginning, people had nothing.
Their bodies ached, and their hearts held nothing but hatred.
They fought endlessly, but death never came.
They despaired, stuck in the eternal quagmire.
MYTH - 2 BIRTH
A man offered a serpent to the sun and prayed for salvation.
A woman offered a reed to the sun and asked for joy.
Feeling pity for the sadness that had over run the earth,
God was born from these two people.
MYTH - 3 SALVATION
God made time and divided it into day and night.
God outlined the road to salvation and gave people joy.
And God took endless time away from the people.
MYTH - 4 CREATION
God created beings to lead people in obedience to Her.
The red God, Xuchilbara, the yellow God, Lobsel Vith,
many Gods and angels.
Finally God set out to create Paradise, were people
would be happy just by being there.
MYTH - 5 PROMISE
But the God's strength ran out, and she collapsed.
All the world's people grieved this unfortunate event,
yet God breathed Her last.
She returned to the dust, promising to come again.
MYTH - 6 FAITH
So God hasn't been lost.
We must offer our prayers and not forget our faith.
We wait in hope for the day when the Path to Paradise
will be opened.
"The Descent of the Holy Mother -- The 21 Sacraments"
The First Sign
And God said,
At the time of fullness, cleanse the world with my rage.
Gather forth the White Oil, the Black Cup and the Blood of the Ten Sinners.
Prepare for the Ritual of the Holy Assumption.
The Second Sign
And God said,
Offer the Blood of the Ten Sinners and the White Oil.
Be then release from the bonds of the flesh, and gain the Power of Heaven.
From the Darkness and Void, bring forth Gloom,
and gird thyself with Despair for the Giver of Wisdom.
The Third Sign
And God said,
Return to the Source through sin's Temptation.
Under the Watchful eye of the demon, wander alone in the formless Chaos.
Only then will the Four Atonements be in alignment.
The Last Sign
And God said, separate from the flesh too, she who is the Mother Reborn and he
who is the Receiver of Wisdom.
If this be done, by the Mystery of the 21 Sacraments, the Mother shall be reborn
and the Nation of Sin shall be redeemed.
"Crimson Tome"
She who is called the "Holy Mother" be not holy one whit.
The "Descent of the Holy Mother" is naught but the Descent of the Devil.
Those that be called the "21 Sacraments" be not sacramental one whit.
The "21 Sacraments" be naught but the 21 Heresies.
To give birth to a world of wickedness within the blessed realm of our Lord be
blasphemy and the work of the Devil.
If thou would stop the Descent of the Devil, you must bury part of the
Conjurer's mother's flesh within the Conjurer's true body.
Thou must also pierce the Conjurer's flesh with the 8 spears of "Void",
"Darkness", "Gloom", "Despair", "Temptation", "Source", "Watchfulness" and
"Chaos."
Do so and the Conjurer's unholy flesh will become that which once it was, by
the grace of our Lord.
"ASTRAL PROJECTION: THE PERFECT ASSASSIN?"
...amongst the tribes who have
developed the ability to control and
focus their projections, there exists
one that is feared throughout the
whole community.
Their shaman claims to have the
ability to kill with thought alone,
projecting his desire to kill into the
body of the victim...
