This post is meant all in good fun and is not intended to offend anyone's religious or spiritual sensibilities. I'd hope any Ghost fan would realize that, but you never know. I tagged this with "Scooby-Doo Satanism" for that reason. That said, if you DO want to do this in earnest, feel free. Also CW/TW for Catholicism.
So I thought to myself, "Self, Ghost sells Grucifix rosaries. There's also the "Dark Lord’s Prayer" in Ritual. And the "Holy Mother" bridge in Griftwood is kind of like a Hail Mary."
So I researched and embellished upon traditional rosary prayers and came up with this. Based upon the Meliora rosary because that's the one I have.
All prayer/lyrics credit to our Tender Father.
Begin by holding the Grucifix and reciting (or singing, if you prefer) The Depth of Satan's Eyes (Prayer A):
Into the eyes of fire
Into the gaze ablaze
Into the burning light
Of Satan's rays
Into the source of wisdom
Beyond the Bible lies
Into the endless depth
Of Satan's eyes
Next, on the first large bead, recite The Dark Lord’s Prayer (Prayer B):
Our father, who art in Hell
Unhallowed, be Thy name
Cursed be the sons and daughters
Of Thine nemesis who are to blame
Thy kingdom
Come
nemA
On each of the following large beads, recite The Holy Mother (Prayer C, 3x total):
Holy Mother
You washeth the sin from my feet
Holy Mother
You shine like the sun and the moon
And the stars in the sky
The world rests heavy on your shoulders
Holy Mother
You shine like the sun and the moon
And the stars in the sky
In the space before the next large bead, recite Year Zero (Prayer D):
He will tremble the nations
Kingdoms to fall one by one
Victim to fall for temptations
A daughter to fall for a son
The ancient Serpent Deceiver
To masses standing in awe
He will ascend to the heavens
Above the stars of god
Hell Satan, Archangelo
Hell Satan, welcome Year Zero!
Repeat The Dark Lord’s Prayer (B) on the next large bead.
On the space after the bead, recite Per Aspera Ad Inferi (Prayer E):
Oh Satan, devour us all
Hear our desperate call
Per aspera ad inferi (x4)
Continue along the strand widdershins (counter-clockwise), and repeat The Holy Mother (C) on the next 9 large beads (9x total).
Repeat Year Zero (D), Dark Lord’s Prayer (B) and Per Aspera Ad Inferi (E) before, on, and after each single large bead, respectively, as before (3x total).
Repeat Prayers B-E in the same manner until returning to the Bite of Passage (the Y junction leading back to the Grucifix).
Four final prayers, Stand By Him (F), Majesty (G), Con Clavi Con Dio (H), and Satan Prayer (I), end the rosary, again holding the Grucifix:
I’m making my own satanic rosary. The tricky part is the numbers are pared down from a typical rosary so I’m having to add extra shit in order to make it long enough to fit over my giant head. Basically, it’s gonna have three sections of six beads each, (666) and on each bead you recite the kings of Hell. Then in between each section of six, there will be a single bead in which you recite the Hail Lilith prayer that I made up a couple years back that’s just a fun bastardization of the Hail Mary prayer. At the bottom where a crucifix would typically go, there’s gonna be a Leviathan cross. At the section where the two ends split to become the necklace, there will be a Lilith sigil charm. There’s spacer beads and stuff in between the important beads to help with length but I’m hoping it turns out good. I’m hoping I can finish it tonight and show everyone. I was so excited when I got the idea for the specific 666 design. Plus I haven’t done a lot with beads in a while and repairing my Grucifix rosary made me want to make another with my own spin to it.
Progress so far on the Satanic rosary. The single black bead in between the light purple ones is from the leftovers of one of the Grucifix rosaries so the original inspiration is present. There’s six light purple beads on each side of the black one, all together making thirteen. When you reach the black bead, you say the Hail Lilith prayer. From there, you get to the dark purple beads (they look black in the photo) separated by small teal ones. There’s one dark purple for each King of Hell, said in the same order from the song Ghost song “Year Zero”, Belial, Behemoth, Beelzebub, Asmodeus, Satanas, Lucifer.
I’m still trying to figure out how to make the damn thing longer before I add the charms.
