Black Order of the Dragon Focus and Purpose  
Black Order of the Dragon Focus and Purpose

    The symbol of Satan is represented as a metaphor being the separation of all
restrictive dogma's of Nazarene sickness. This is the first step from the bonds
of the Aeon-dead Christianity. Do not plague your conscious any further. BOTD
issues Satan as "becoming", a transcendental state of existing, NOT
"satan-worship". We stand as the anti-thesis of dictorial submission. Good and
evil are a balance to be observed, transcend each to become as one. Reaching 77
is one possible view of the effect. The BOTD is not connected or supportive of
the Judeo-Christian concepts of evil, in fact we stand on the basis of
discovering the individual true will. This would also be known as the Great Work
referred to by Aleister Crowley=v.v.v.v.v.

    One must enter each stage of individual development to reach towards the
continuing the great work. The black art is concerning the opening and
exploration of the "shadows" of the subconscious, the awakening of an atavism
through mastering the dark aspects. How does this become towards the path of
Vampirism? Through these dark alchemical workings, the materials of building the
individual towards Godhead, therefor becoming something beyond human = the
predator and shadowlord. Balance is the key to this.

    Tiamat is the manifestation of what is referred to as vampiric blood, life,
strength and will. One of the main symbols of the BOTD is the Dragon. Please
note that both Chronozon, Leviathan and Tiamat are of different energies and
manifest in separate ways.
 
    Tiamat represents the fire for life, vampiric blood and the godlike
striving/evolving state of mind. Chronozon represents CHAOS (similar to H.P.
Lovecraft's Azag-Thoth) and the storm of destruction and creation. To invoke
Chronozon, become as one with you interpretation of it and call forth the chaos.
Concentrate upon it and that manifestation within your mind.  To master it is to
explore the dark, often repressed points of the psyche.  Leviathan represents
the point or gate to the Abyss-the dark matter itself. To invoke Leviathan is to
open all possibilities unto the self, to seek understanding of your true will
and to embark upon that path. Suggested readings for a clear understanding of
the topics are the following:
