“Stop your bitching. It’s business, Samael. Pure, sheer work of god. We’re men of the book, after all.” “You kill her, and I’ll scythe your butt-buddy Gabe to shiny little bits.” Michael said nothing, gaze stony. Samael hesitated, drawing a quick breath. “Now Michael, I know we’ve had our falling outs in the past. ButContinue reading “Judex Crederis”

Holy Grail
The Phoenix has fled, the Phoenix has fled She carried the Heart in her breast. The evening, it burns, the firmament turns Death weeps for the void in his chest.
Ha Satan
Satan appears with ram’s horns, in a white toga baring luscious pectorals and biceps, black gladiator sandals, with red eyes, long waterfalls of black hair, tan skin like henna and a smirk with fangs accentured ready to bite into my soft parts. This is his second night watching me, with eyes like a gazelle enflamed,Continue reading “Ha Satan”
Infernal Trinity
Lucifer appears in the aether like the Hypostasis of the Archons. He is Eros emerging from wine’s first summer on Earth, grapes from the wine blossom forth, and we are the first vintage of God’s love ever pressed. He is dancing like my Shiva, I Shakti of his immortal coil, hair like the Ganges andContinue reading “Infernal Trinity”
Lords of Creeping Things
Lucifer and Beelzebub sit in the shade of an apple tree in Hell, holding court over the creeping things. Their muted wings fan out, blemished from the fall with dark spots like a sooty owl, yet no the less imposing and majestic. Their thrones are curling wood and deer bone, and they are dressed inContinue reading “Lords of Creeping Things”
Protoevangelium
Lucifer cuts across the emptiness, that great Void that birthed God, the Trinity, the Deep, and all teeming things within the soup of chaos. A Bright Morning Star, first light in the cold universe, Phanes Protogonos, Creator beyond all time, and he says: ADORE ME. I do not bow. I do not worship. Coy, heContinue reading “Protoevangelium”
The Black and White Snake
Lucifer, blond as a lion of pride, takes a drag of his cigarette in a cream starched dress shirt with a severe collar, tan slacks, and brown loafers, his hair elegantly unfurling like a newspaper filled with commas and poetry. The smoke veils his office, as he uses an old fountain pen to tally souls,Continue reading “The Black and White Snake”
Genesis
Lucifer made a pact with Baal Zeboul long ago, before comets thought of falling, and no star had given in to the darkness of their black hole almas, bread of dead never dreamed of, nothing had yielded dust, and humanity was but a pink thing, suckling at the Mother’s teat. “Whatsoever happens to humanity, weContinue reading “Genesis”
Tam Lin
On a lark, I fly to the lowest levels of Pandaemonium, where the most tortured souls are stored. It is dimly lit, with long shadowed corridors, hideous salmon and blood tiled floors, balustrades soaked in grease, and a single experimental soul moving like a robot through the blackness. My speech dies in my throat, andContinue reading “Tam Lin”
Barfly and the Bitch
“This vodka is shit,” Samael says, swilling his shot glass in another of Asmodeus’ dive bars. This one has succubi draped across the men and women like jewels, breasts hanging like necklaces from their chests. I’m cozied up to the Devil on his lap – the crown of the Prince of Darkness is a bubblyContinue reading “Barfly and the Bitch”
