nfernal Salutations, welcome to the realm of THE SHADOWMANTIUM...

Feel free to walk through the Corridors of Darkness at your leisure. There will be abominations of all sorts 'round every corner. The Darkside of your own mind will be revealed. Three times shall you go 'round The Pentagram.

Herein, you may find ecstasy, or pain...& perhaps to you, you will find that one often interchanges with the other...All that is conjured forth herein WILL effect you in one form or another...depending upon wherefore you come, & what constructs your constitution...

To you Children of Darkness, whether realized or not, you will find ambrosia for thy dark soul... to you others, the misdirected masochists who sought this dimension, you will find much more than you bargained for, nor ever imagined... there will be pain here, but of the sort you will NOT enjoy...

The Gates of Hell have been opened, the abominations are loosed, feel the extent of the thrall of Power & ageless wisdom!

Allow Me to direct you while here. Behold the wonders & terrors within... their influence shall linger long after your departure, beckoning your return...

You will either learn to climb the heights & plunge the depths of The Abyss, or become entangled by your own ignorance, cowardice, misunderstanding, & prejudice. You will be exposed to all manner of vice & horror. So remember, you were warned. Your sanity WILL be tested, & only the strongest will survive intact, & be made stronger still.

Stand or fall - depending upon your countenance, you will be numbered either amongst the weak slaves of the blindlight, or the predators of SATAN. Herein you will find fantasy & reality. The lines between both will be obscured by the profane, & be as sustenance to the Children of Lucifer. Pass through the black flames, & be either purified, or consumed...

Among many other subjects, you will find correspondence with the so-called "Seven Deadly Sins", which are actually completely natural motivations:

Lucifer: Pride (superbia): The contemplation of merited ego gratification.

Mammon: Greed (avaritia): The natural inclination to gain material possessions, enhance and facilitate indulgence, & the primary instinct for survival.

Asmodeus: Lust (luxuria): The appreciation of erotica, & the natural desire for the mutual pleasures of the flesh with lovers of ones preference.

Leviathan: Envy (invidia): The natural desire to gain similar possessions from others by ones own merit.

Beelzebub: Gluttony (gula or gullia): The natural indulgence of celebratory libations, in luscious philtres & confections for gratification.

Satan/Amon: Wrath (ira): The natural inclination for revenge, & the gaining of Justice towards those who may have wronged one, and the celebration of their punishment. Lex Talionis.

Belphegor: Sloth (acedia): Well-deserved recreational activities with a contemplation of accomplishment.
