We have been given the kind permission from one of our Elders to share the following invocation of Azazel, which all children of the Fire-Bearer may benefit from during the workings on this auspicious Maundy Thursday Night:
By the Standing Rock and the Holy Stone
By the Wooden Throne and the Crown of Horns
I call upon the King of the Fallen Host
Azazel come and make me see
As I break the chains to set you free
Come, bring the fire between your horns
In the name of our Master of the Bloody Thorns
Light up the Crossroads and open the gates
Guide my steps through the hidden Pathways
To the Summit of the Black Mountain lead me
As one of your own children now receive me
Azazel I pray, come to me
Stamp your hooves in violent ecstasy
Receive the simple offerings I bring
And in return mark and initiate me
In awakened state, within a dream
Let me join your Sabbath’s gathering
To abandon the company of humankind
And widdershins dance in your circle round
Azazel, come to me
Teach me your wisdom that lets me see
How to break the enslaving shackles of cruel destiny!
