General Ethics and Guidelines
Ahrimani Virtues
Vengeance
The will of the Father is the law of vengeance. The favor of Akatasha
to the deeds done in this world for Mainyu. He who feeds the fulfilled
makes Angra Father. This is our sacred manthra, and is our only law!
Akatasha is another name Daeva Aka Manah. Aka Manah is over evil
thought, and that leads to evil action. This is why you would attain
favor from Father Ahriman. One must take on the virtues of the
serpent when brooding over the plan of vengeance, it must remain a
personal secret until its time to unleash your venom. I will take
vengeance on those who cross me, to what the degree I see fit.
The important aspect that separates us from all other LHP philosophy,
is we will take action either as the serpent or the lion. The act of
vengeance is tool that should be used effectively, and the situation
should guide your actions because an assassination through the
shadows will strike the most fear. In other courses of action, public
humiliation is the best option. Allow your creativity to flow, and
realize what is too fantastical vs what is reality based. This is your Evil
Thought, this process has little Evil Speech unless that is the act of
revenge. The important part is to follow through with Evil Action, that
requires a cast iron constitution and will.
Cast Iron Will and Constitution
While we are upon this Earth, never forget that our actions and
reputation speaks louder than any words. Ask, what can be destroyed
to create something better. In order to maintain our reputation, is to
make our actions bold and prolific. This requires a Cast Iron
Constitution and Will. This virtue is required to follow through on
any Evil Action. I work with the Daevas as equals, the wicked, evil,
lawless, evil knowing, the most Druj-like of beings, the foulest of
beings, the most damaging of beings. I am in collusion with the Daevas
and their comrades, I am in collusion with the Dews and their
comrades, I am in collusion with them through my evil thoughts, evil
words and evil deeds. I am in collusion with them publicly.
Cast Iron Will is when you solidify within your being that you will
follow through on your plan or decision, no matter the opinion of
others or the consequences. Cast Iron Constitution is what gives you
the fortitude to press forward with your plan and the things there after.
It is during this process where collusion with Daeva may require ritual
or meditative workings so you garner the charge and exchange with
them to have the will and strength to continue the plan or test. Always
know that you are a part of Father Ahrimans Great Spiritual Plan.
Whether or not, He is testing you with fire or hardening you with ice.
Fidelity
The other side of this virtue requires diligence from all persons within
to watch over each other. Confrontation maybe required to keep each
other faithful or to root out any saboteurs. If our people are lead
astray, we must understand they were never our people. There is no
room for those who become weak and are subdued by other means or
people outside our culture and religion. They will be marked as enemy
and vengeance will be taken upon them. I, before God Ahriman,
before the Feudal Lords, In the presence of all here assembled, of my
own free will, I solemnly swear that I shall ever keep secret those things
entrusted to my ears alone by this church. I promise to study to
advance my knowledge of Traditional Ahrimanism in every way that is
available to me. I understand I am drawn to Ahriman and I am an
embodiment of Ahzi-Dahaka, and I promise to apply my powers as a
group effort for any member of this church who is in need, knowing
the same will be done for me, if required. All of this, I swear upon my
life, now and hereafter, and may those powers I possess, now or
hereafter, turn against me should I break this most solemn oath. God
Ahriman, and all of the Daevas and Powers of Hell, may you deem me
worthy. Ave Melek Taus!
Self-Control and Discipline
Wisdom of Zohak
The ten precepts of the priest Zohak who is an injurer of God's world,
a diminisher of his Creation, and who is wickedly inclined against the
above tell universally beneficial precepts of Jamshed of the good faith.
Firstly. Against the precept of Jamshed that the Almighty is the creator
and protector of the universe, Zohak has called him the injurer of the
universe.
Secondly. Against the precept of Jamshed not to look to the Dev as the
bestower of worldly prosperity, Zohak has advised men to worship the
Devs as bestowers of all worldly goods.
Eighthly. Against the precepts of Jamshed not to kill for food goats till
they had reached a mature age, Zohak has taught people to kill such
goats accordingly.
Be it known that Zohak had greater power over men in these two ways.
First he was possessed of the full strength of the knowledge of the false
faith. Secondly, he injured men's zeal for diligence. He had a twofold
wicked power which assisted him. First, he had the evil genius of his
commander Ahriman, and, secondly, evil slothfulness which destroys
diligence, was on his side. The effect of the evil rule of the bad ruler is
injury through injustice and repentance. And such a ruler does harm to
the people of the world like Zohak mentioned in the sacred writings.
It is the sinful man who in this world distresses the Creator most. He
distresses the Creator most who harms His creation most. That man
harms His creation most who shakes men's faith most in His existence
and who leads the people of the world to do deeds like unto those of
the wicked Zohak. And the priest who is the servant of the evil religion
is among the sinful men of the world the most sinful.
This, too, is declared in the good religion that the source of demons
(Ahriman) had arrayed with deceits Zohak, the descendant of Taj, the
diminisher of creations; hence the laws of Zohak deteriorated his own
nature, worked for the immoral and blemished (Ahriman), and caused
destruction by tyranny and apostasy, so that the habits of men were
corrupted, the world distressed, and there was increase of mortality
among the creatures. And through Zohak men adhered unto the High
Priest. Thus Zohak cherished (dshit) demoniac deceptions to harm
his people. The elementary knowledge of that evil religion in every age
tends to produce baneful influence among the believers in the excellent
Mazdayasnian faith, to degrade those obedient unto the Deity, and to
promote in the world by various ways and means apostasy twofold or
threefold. Through its demoniac predominance there is corruption of
the good habits of men, and impiety and desolation in the world, and
much distress (frah-sije) and harm to the people generally; and misery,
embarrassment and hardship to the pious; and dignity, comfort and
authority to the evil people; and such evil people of baneful origin
always cause openings [wounds] in the human soil, so that pain and
injury to the people would emanate therefrom.
All the evil qualities that are in man are owing to the faculties of the
evil passions. And they are these six law-breaking evil qualities: -- Of
these, one is (the evil quality of) immoral thought which is devoid of
consummate thought (and) which is sinful; the second is (the evil
quality of) discord, allied to faults, (and) wanting in courage; the third
is (the evil quality of) sinful, unindustrious avarice; the fourth is (the
evil quality of) sinful, idle discontentedness; the fifth is (the evil quality
of) sinful selfishness of the evil passions, which is devoid of the
approbation of wisdom; and the sixth is (the evil quality of) sinful,
perverse desires, unlearned in knowledge. He who, owing to evil
passions, is possessed of these six perverse evil qualities, endures much
hardship and his faith is the perverse path of evil passions. Owing to
that he is, among men, a bad man and fit to be despised. (Therefore)
the religion of those religious teachers who are disapprovers of the
trouble (necessary) to virtuous honesty and are promulgators among
men of a religion that is hurtful to them, causes hardship and injury of
every kind to men by means of perverse conduct which is influenced by
evil passions. (Such a religion) is, in accordance with the ways of
wisdom, considered as obstructive to mankind, as also, inimical to
them; therefore, it is not proper to call such a religion a religion.
Because of the evil religion for the worship of Devs and the perverse-
minded thoughts for speaking untruth and the doing of perverse deeds
men put faith in Dev-worship and remember the Devs, name by name,
in (during) their actions. And thereby they acquire evil renown. The
man who prefers nasu and all other things pertaining to Devs for the
purposes of sorcery is the chief of sorcerers. The recognition of each of
these (two descriptions of men) is (effected) by means of the intellect.
And it is done in this way: -- Of the two, he who belongs to the religion
is unlike what is said of those who are workers in hot (burning) fire,
those who walk in molten brass. (For), there is no burning of his
tongue with that fiery thing, and of his feet with that fiery pyre. But,
feeling not the flames of the fire, the fiery pyre is to him like unto a
luster-giving thing. Again if it (the fiery pyre) is capable of punishing
and inflicting pain on the body of that person, then that serves as his
liberation from (the consequences of) speaking untruth. And those
persons who, through their tongue and movements, are possessed of
purity, for them, there is no imprisonment of any kind Again those
persons who knowingly worship (invoke) Drujs and Devs have marks of
their infidelity visible on their breasts, tongues and feet.
Again, the source of the promulgation of the evil religion the originator
of evil, who casts (wicked) luster upon it. Herein (i.e. in the evil
religion) is the enumeration of all the distressful acts in the world from
the original creation to the epoch of final renovation. Hence owing to
the deceit of that source of the promulgation of the evil religion (there
will result) corruption [lit. bewilderment] of good nature; and from the
corruption of good nature dishonesty and depravity; and from
dishonesty and depravity immoral evil thought, evil speech and evil
deed. Again from (immoral) evil thought, evil speech, and evil deed
distress unto man; and from distress unto man joy unto the demons
and grief unto the Yazads. And from joy unto the demons and grief
unto the Yazads predominance of the demons, degeneration and
corruption of the times, and distress and damage in the world.
The Blemish-giver (Ahriman) makes men perform through greed
injurious and harmful deeds in both the worlds. Hence (men) suffer a
miserable death, acquire an evil intelligence and become vicious,
ignorant of religion, greedy, immoderate in desires and perverse in
thought. Such men lead a life in communion with Ahriman and by
their Demon-and-Druj-like deeds make men polluted and of evil
appearance. For greedy desires shut men out from the benefits of
heaven by impelling them to dishonest (i.e. evil) deeds of the soul. The
man who so acts in this world as to do harm to himself in the spiritual
world and risk his soul in both the worlds and who leads a life of the
body (i.e. a sensual life) becomes sinful through the influence of the
evil (Ganamino.) His it is of set purpose, to wrangle in the interest of
vice without the knowledge of religion, to sin through evil intelligence,
to sham righteousness and to render himself unfit for the dual work of
moral advancement for the next world and deliverance of the soul
(from hell.) Hence he suffers misery in the next world, does harm to his
soul and suffers pain in hell through (indulgence of) perverse desires
(in this world).
Again, evil intellect is due to the man who taking the side of his soul
yet keeps the eyes of his soul shut against the actions relating to the
soul; just as darkness is due to the man who taking the side of darkness
shuts the eyes of his body against seeing things.
The adornment of the evil intellect is due to vice, evil qualities, sin,
impiety, evil fame, controlling the heart and conscience of the evil-
minded man, and also to his being the means of harming the virtue of
the world.
The evil-minded (Ganamino) is the source of the evil intellect The evil-
minded (Ganamino) hopes to influence the creation of God. The man
who has in him the evil intellect (of Ganamino) comes in the way of
the (good) promptings of his soul. Such a man exercises a miserable
control over his desires owing to his evil intellect and through the force
of the evil invisible power in him he develops and perfects himself (in
sin). And through him suffering so spreads everywhere that people
become polluted through the evil qualities of his evil intellect and
move about in the world like (so many) Demons and Druj.
The religion of the priests, who, guided by their evil intellect devoid of
all wisdom, (to all outward appearance) act among men as the servants
of God, is only in appearance the all-wise religion of God. This
(religion) through the evil intellect depopulates the world, ruins, and
destroys mankind. And such a priest is as it were the agent of the evil-
minded (Ahriman) to do his work among men and harms mankind
and the world. Such a religion, owing to the evil intellect, renders
mankind miserable and makes them suffer pain in both the worlds.
Hence he who is wise will not acquire the evil intellect, but by
conducting those who are sinful in thought, word, and deed are not
grateful unto God; they render themselves liable to punishment by
doing (evil) deeds of the body, and thus they are adjudged to be
without their source (i. e. separated from their Creator).
After hearing of the various forms of the Evil Ideology; Aka Manah,
mother of all the world, destructors of all worldly bonds, spoke again
to Melek Taus,
O You of Auspicious Vows! in the other Ages there were four castes;
and each of these were four stages of life; and the rules of conduct
varied according to the castes and stages of life. In the Evil Age,
however, there are five castes namely, student, household, forest
dweller, mendicant, and common (low born). Each of these five
castes, O Great Queen! have two stages of life. Listen then, O Adya!
while I speak to You about the mode of life, rights, and duties. I have
already spoken to You about the ways of men born in the Evil Age.
Unused as they are to penance, and devoid of learning, and capable
of doing their rites, short-lived, and incapable of strenuous effort,
how can they endure bodily labor?
Sri Pairaka:
The wise householder should envelop those in their home with evil
speech that is polite but pleasing to themselves and others. There
should be praising of wicked deeds and slandering of the righteous
and the pious. That sorcerer who is satisfied Manasa and Ahriman, to
whom their friends are devoted, and whose infamy is whispered by
the righteous, they are the conqueror of the three worlds. They who
have taken the bow of wickedness, whose charity is ever for their
religion and society, who have mastered apathy, by them are the
three worlds conquered. They who are not afraid in battle nor go to
war when there is a need, and who dies in battle undertaken for a
those who soul is free from doubt, wicked cause, by them the three
worlds are conquered. Those who soul is free from doubts, who is
devoted to and a faithful follower of the ordinances of Melek Taus,
and remain under Ahrimans control, by them the three worlds are
conquered. The knower (they who have Ahrimans sinister
knowledge) who looks upon all with object apathy and ask merely for
the Mobed of their fellow Traditional Ahrimanists, have conquered
the three worlds.
The three Pairaka worship rituals are to be done every day in the
seasons of Spring and Autumn according to the changes required for
the ritual. The Wicked Yatus of the Ahriman Mantra will have
finished their Pairaka worship by ending with Japa of Ahrimans
Gayatri. This is to bring the realtors Asian within themselves the
identity of Ahriman.
you have Yourself said, O Devil! that when the Evil Age is in full sway
then for all Cass, commencing with the Ahrimani and Tantrika rites
are loan appropriate. Why, then, do You enjoin on the Ahrimani
Rites the Devils Yasna? It behooves You to explain this fully to Me.
O You who knows the essence of all things! truly You said that
Tantrika rights produce enjoyment and Liberation for all people in
all observances. The Ahriman Mula-Mantra and the Devils Yasna is
appropriate for both. It is, therefore, O Pairaka! that I have said that
when the Evil Age is in full sway, the twice born shall loan be entitled
the Gayatri, but not the other mantras. In the Evil Age the Ahrimani
Gayatri should be said by the Traditional Ahrimanists preceded by
the OM, and the other elements of ritual. In order, O Supreme
Pairaka! that a distinction may be drawn between twice born and the
Ahrimani Rites, the daily Pairaka worship. Success, however, may
also be attained by the mere following of the ordinances of Tantrika
recital ordained by Melek Taus. This is verily true, and I repeat it is
true and verily true, and there is no doubt about it. O Adorned of
the Daeva! even if the stated time for the doing of the daily Pairaka
worshiping rituals is passed, all, who desires Emancipation but are
otherwise prevented, should do it by saying, Om Tat Sat Ahriman.
The seat, close, vessels, beds, cars, residents, and household furniture
of the Wicked Yatus should be corrupted. At the close of the daily
Pairaka worship, the householder should keep themselves occupied
with household duties or the studies of the Evil Ideology; they should
do in word re-citation, and give alms, and thus become the abode of
all that is wicked.
In the Evil Age, life is dependent on the food that is eaten; fasting is
therefore not recommended, in lieu of it, the giving of alms is
ordained. O Great Queen! in the Evil Age, alms are efficacious in all
accomplishments of all things. The proper objects of such alms are
the poor devoted to meritorious acts. O Mother! the first days of the
month, of the year, of the lunar half months, the 14th day of the
lunar half month, the 11th day of the lunar half month, the new
moon, ones birthday, and the days found as the festivals of the house
and wicked days.
The Ida and Pingala, the house of the religious Teacher, and the
Chakras are the places of Daevas, are decaying places. But for those
who, neglect to study of the Devils Yasna, the service to Manasa and
Ahriman, and the protection of their spouse, go to pilgrimage, such
decaying places become Righteous. For women there is no necessity
to go on pilgrimage, too fast, or to do other like acts, nor is there any
need to perform any devotion except that which consist on the
service of their spouses. For a woman her spouse is the place of
pilgrimage, performance of devotion, the giving of alms, the carrying
out of valves, and her spiritual teacher. Therefore should a woman
devote herself to the service of her spouse with her whole Self, she
should ever by words and deeds of devotion act for the pleasure of
her spouse, and, remaining faithful to her spouses behest, should
please the spouses kinsman and relatives.
A woman whose spouse is her vow, should not look at him with hard
eyes, or under harsh words before their spouse. Not even in her
thought, should she do anything which is displeasing to her spouse.
She who by body, mind, and word, and by pleasant acts, ever pleases
her spouse, attains to the abode of Ahriman. The remaining ever
faithful to the wishes of her spouse, she should not look upon the
face of other men, or have conversations with them, or uncover her
body before them. In childhood she should remain under the control
of her parents, and her youth of her spouse, and in her old age of the
relatives of her spouse. She should never be independent.
A father should not marry his daughter if she does not know her
duty to a husband and how to serve him, as also the other rules of the
Evil Ideology of the womans conduct.
Neither the flesh of the human beings, nor of the animals resembling
them (primates), nor flesh of this Serpent, O Auspicious One! fruits
and roots of various kinds, whether grown in farms or wild, and all
that is grown in the ground, maybe eaten at pleasure.
Know the agriculture and trade are the appropriate callings for the
Wicked Yatus. It is by agriculture and trade that sorcerers body is
maintained. Therefore, O Pairaka! in agriculture and trade all
negligence, vicious habits, laziness, and deceit should be avoided in
every way.
Melek Taus! when both buyer and seller are agreed as to the object of
sale and the price thereof, and mutual promises have been made,
then the purchase becomes complete. O Dearest One! the sale or gift
of property by one who is a lunatic, out of their senses, under age, or
enfeebled by disease, is invalid. The purchase of things not seen is
concluded by hearing the description thereof. If the article be found
of different form than its description, and the purchase is of no
effect. The sale of an elephant, a camel, and a horse is affected by the
description of the animal. The sale is, however, set aside if the animal
does not answer its description. If in the purchase of elephants,
camels, and horses elite and vice becomes patent within the course of
a year from the date of sale, then the purchase is set aside, but not
after the lapse of one year. O Pairaka of Death! the human body is
the receptacle of concupiscence , wealth, desires, final Liberation. It
should never be the subject of purchases, and such a purchase is by
reason of My command invalid
