History of Veretnichestvo

Veretnichestvo (pronounced: veh-ret-NEE-chest-vo)

Veretnichestvo has a long history. One of the strongest marks it left in history was during the period of the Christianization of Rus’ (± 100 years). In Veretnichestvo many Demons have their own “folk” Names. For example: Shchirikh — He is also the Domovoy (House Spirit), Yenarey — He is also the Leshy (Forest Spirit). And there are many such examples (Water Spirits, Banniks, Likho — remember “don’t wake Likho while It is quiet”). All these Names come from the times before the Christianization of Rus’. From Paganism. At that time, from devoted pagans who went deeper into knowledge, closer to the Gods — the Dark Gods — Russian Black Book magic (Russkoe Chernoknizhie) was formed. And later Veretnichestvo separated from them.

To put it very simply: Veretnichestvo is very close to Russian Black Book magic.
Russian Black Book magic is the veneration of the Devil and the Demons. Service. The way only Russians can do it — with all their soul, with all their heart. Without shouting about this love and without proving it to those around them, without competing over who does it stronger (in the European manner). This love is only mine and the Devil’s, and there is no place for others in it. This is what strongly distinguishes Us, Russian Black Book practitioners, from European Demonology.

Sorcery in Veretnichestvo

And the Veretniks went even “further”. veneration of the Devil into a part of themselves. A Veretnik, coming to the Devil, becomes a part of this Darkness. Yes, they also venerate, but they do it a little differently. They honor Him not as another Dark Power, but as their own parent. Remember yourself as a child or look at your own child. He knows that he is a part of you. He honors you not as another person, but as a part of himself. He does not think about it — he simply knows it and does not doubt it in any way. And even if he is deceived by his parents, he does not cease to be a part of them. With the Darkness, of course, there is no such thing — She does not betray. Betrayal is the lot of the weak. And to the Darkness the very thought of weakness is already repulsive. A Veretnik at the initiation summons the Darkness and gives his entire self to the Darkness. He becomes a part of Her. If, of course, the Darkness accepts Him. Very often it happens that He is not accepted. And there are many such Veretniks who performed the initiation ritual but were not accepted. They do not even suspect it. Firmly believing that since they performed the ritual, everything is fine, they succeeded. Remember: for true sorcery you need only two simple things:

  1. Call the Devil your Father.
  2. So that the Devil may call you His son (daughter).

Someone once answered me on this:
How little and how infinitely much…

Yes, exactly so.

Все сложное – не нужно!
Все нужное – просто!

И если для сотворения ритуала Чернокнижнику необходимо следовать инструкции к ритуалу. И Чернокнижник может за день ну максимум 3 ритуала сделать. То Веретник, истинный, тот который стал частью Тьмы. Ему для сотворения ритуала достаточно захотеть, подумать. 5-10-15 ритуалов? Легко!

Veretnichestvo Today

Reading other esotericists who consider themselves Veretniks, Black Book practitioners, Satanists, Devil-worshippers and the like, I am sometimes surprised how mixed up everything is in their heads. Many try to be or appear smarter by using European words such as “egregore”

(Происходит это слово от французского grégore, которое, в свою очередь, пошло от древнегреческого. Впервые оно использовалось для описания ангелов в Книге пророка Даниила и в Книге Еноха).

You know, I am sure that Veretniks 200–800 years ago lived perfectly well and carried their burden without European words. This does not make you or anyone smarter in the world of magic. They did not need to gather to perform rituals in order to strengthen them. They did not need to strengthen anything at all. They knew that it would be so and not otherwise. They were already a part of the Darkness. And where a Veretnik was, there was the whole Darkness — there was no need to summon Her.
All these modern cries of “let’s open a Church of Satan.” Open it. There is no need to shout or talk about it. Just open it if you want. For the Father it will be far more pleasant if you quietly open it and say to Him:
– Look, in Your honor I have opened this place.
There is no need to promise, no need to talk. What will you say to the Devil later?
– I failed to open a church, I called others and they didn’t want to.
Veretniks opened things by their presence, not by beautiful slogans.
А все эти отмазки
– Я написал с маленькой буквы потому, что не заметил, потому что Т9 или я быстро пишу и не вижу. Не могу потом исправить.

Ну так и свыкнитесь с тем, что Дьявол про вас так же скажет. Я не успел его защитить потому, что он быстро шел, бежал. Я не дал ему то, что он просил, так как я посчитал, что для него, несмотря на то, что он это просит, ему это не нужно. А я уже сделал по другому и не знаю как исправить.
– Если что-то хотите получить, дайте взамен что-то. Вы хотите, что Он пришел и поговорил с вами. А вы спросите у Него, а хочет ли Он говорить с вами. Что вы можете Ему сказать, того, что Он не знает. Как вы думаете, за свою Бесконечность сколько было у Него таких, как вы? Почему вы не хотите спросить у него, а что вы можете сделать для Него. Чем вы можете быть Ему полезным. Кричать везде и всюду о своей любви ко Дьяволу. Так можно и в дурку попасть и там посмотрим как вы пронесете свою любовь к Нему. Как вам такое испытание. Сможете ли вы отречься от него после этого. Пронесете это с собой и награда будет достойной, нет не здесь, не в этой жизни, а там в вечности. Скажите себе, готовы ли вы на это. И ответьте себе честно. А еще допустите, что вы не знаете о награде вообще ни чего. Не станете ли вы через день кричать, что Он вас предал, обманул.

Conclusion

And now think about all that literature you have read before about magic. How close is it to the world of magic? How close will you be to the Devil after reading it? Stop trying to be like someone else. Do you think that for the Devil you will become more important if you get a tattoo or gather and read the Psalter with passion.

Of course not.

The Darkness is closer than you think!
