Most of us, at some point in our magickal careers, have realised that like it or not, sometimes you have to get your hands dirty and practise purely offensive magick. Whether your enemies exist on the astral, like a dangerous parasite or vampire, or whether they have manifest existence, in the form of, say, a persecuting right wing religious group, or a hostile magician, you are extremely lucky if, at some point, you don't have to practise some darker stuff.
Now, your basic training includes most of the self defence you're likely to need: purifications, elemental balancing, power journeys, banishing, etc etc. This thread is about when that stuff isn't enough, and you need to go on the offensive. I thought it might be conducive to discussion, and a resource for intermediate level occultists, if some of the more experienced magickal practitioners shared some of the ways they use offensive magick with the board.
I'll start by describing a ritual which is not too difficult, but quite dangerous, very effective, and a bit gross by most peoples estimation.
The purpose of this spell is to create a servitor to act in a purely destructive manner.
The first step is to decide a specific purpose for the servitor and create a name and sigil. For argument's sake, let's say that the stated intent of the creature is 'Seek And Destroy Enemies'. From this, we can construct a mantra / name by taking the first letter of each word. In this case, the name would be SADE. Using a standard method, you can then construct a sigil. Next, i get some ingredients.
First, I obtain the corpse of a house spider. These things are everywhere, the big black evil looking ones that die in the corners of dusty rooms. The purpose of this is to provide an inert (lifeless) DNA template to build the servitor around.
Second, I gather some feces (preferably one's own brand). Only a small amount is required, but it is used to represent toxicity (as human waste is toxic).
Third, I produce either semen or blood. This fluid serves to provide the life force and animating power to the ritual, as well as establish a sympathetic bond between the magician and the servitor.
Once all these ingredients are gathered together, they should be placed in a small bag with the sigil on it.
I then wait until darkness, and build a small fire. Around the fire, I scan a triangle. I would also suggest that anyone who is not an advanced magician construct a magick circle or something similar.
I place the bag into the flames and perform the following ritual.
As the bag begins to burn I perform an invocation to infernal powers. A suitable invocation can be found in any of the old black magick grimoires, or the magician can compose their own. it doesn't need to be lengthy, just effective.
Then, I begin to visualise the form of the servitor, a gibbering, spider like, demonic monstrosity. As well as a visual identity, it's important to visualise the component parts of the creature, the purely destructive hunger; proto-insectoid intellect and persona; alien like consciousness; This is a creature that lives solely to feast and kill, a scuttling alien mess, evil by human moral standards, and it helps to embody negative, pre-human emotions, like lust and fury, at this stage. Whilst doing this, I chant the mantra / name of the creature, in this case SADE, and visualise the sigil at it's core. i begin to visualise it crawling along a web, an astral symbol of existence, looking to kill. This continues until the bag and it's contents are fully cremated.
When this is done, the creature is complete, and should be coaxed into reality. It can be put to any 'destructive' task, whether that simply be to exist in your aura temporarily, feasting on any astral parasites you may have accrued, or sent out to devour and destroy a particular enemy.
I have found these servitors to be EXTREMELY effective, probably too much so for a beginner. I have also found (originally to my distress) that if left for too long, these servitors can replicate into a hive or swarm, become very powerful very quick, and even develop a very simple and distasteful personality. This is fine as long as the magician is in full control of them, but it can make them hard to handle. For this reason, I tend to destroy them myself before they get too big. I would stress that I would never recommend this practise for a beginner, as they would likely be able to accomplish it, but probably not be able to deal with the servitor as it grew. I've had these creatures find me in my dreams and appear spontaneously in my waking life if left to get too powerful, hence my suggestion for an early destruction.
So what about the rest of you? I don't care what paradigm you work in, what are some of the specific techniques you use to wage magickal war when the need arises?
In your sig, it has California as part of "America" when they should really be put in the dumbfu
