A current of exilic gnosis—a heretical flame passed through figures cast out from orthodoxy, driven by sacred disobedience and an ecstatic confrontation with the limits of the self.

About the House

The House of the Black Flame is a living current of sorcery rooted in exile, myth, and ecstatic revolt. It draws from Sabbatic Witchcraft, post-structuralist philosophy, and the mythopoetic shadow of Cain—the First Exile, the bearer of transgressive fire. This is a crooked path that rejects tradition as lineage, favoring instead the heretical, the unsanctioned, the self-forged.

This is not a tradition preserved but a current ignited—where dreamwork, sigilcraft, and ritual performance serve not as reenactment, but as direct acts of individuation. While informed by Deleuze and Guattari’s theories of deterritorialization and Bataille’s sacred excess, the praxis of the House leans toward the transformational: a lived psychomagic of the margins, where symbol, myth, and embodied vision become tools of personal sorcery and soul-reclamation.

The House of the Black Flame is a dwelling for those who move against the grain of ordained reality. It calls to the soul that finds no home in inherited structures, to the nameless ones who walk the edge of speech and form. This is a sorcery of transfiguration—where disobedience becomes ritual, exile becomes initiation, and the wandering self becomes a vessel of the unspoken flame. No lineage is offered here, only the invitation to step beyond the threshold and name yourself.

Symbol of Cain

The Deck of the Black Flame

A visionary card system born of Sabbatic witch-lore and transgressive philosophy. Ancient initiatory wisdom merges with untamed currents of primordial resurgence to forge symbols that rupture orthodoxy and speak the language of the deep soul. Each card becomes a vessel of gnosis—crafted through myth, sigil, and dream—to awaken the sorcerous self through revelation and the crooked path of becoming.

The Queen of Filth and Fire

The Queen of Filth and Fire

The sovereign of abjection, she who transforms decay into power. Her throne is built upon the ruins of purity, her crown forged in the crucible of transgression.

The Book of the Black Flame

Book of the Black Flame

Ashen Path of the Black Flame: An Abjective Ecology is not a book about transformation—it is transformation made manifest in text. This work introduces abjective ecology: the occult practice of dwelling with what systems expel, finding power in the pre-symbolic ruptures that disturb identity and order.

Where traditional spirituality seeks transcendence, abjective ecology works with what cannot be assimilated—the peripheral awareness, the unnamed revulsion, the trace of what was spilled though no stain remains. It treats the moment of recoil as revelation, the failure to symbolize as sacred threshold.

Drawing from Kristeva's pre-objectal abject, Sabbatic witchcraft, and lived gnosis, each chapter performs dissolution of inherited certainties through encounters that resist closure. Rather than pointing to objects of transgression, practices invoke suggestion—seeking marks that have vanished, cleaning what cannot be made clean.

The mythic figures of Cain and Lilith emerge as living forces of productive exile—Cain as gender-fluid embodiment of sacred inversion, Lilith as autonomous desire refusing incorporation. This is Left-Hand Path practice that sanctifies becoming over being, contamination over purity.

Expect rituals of peripheral encounter, techniques for dwelling in unplaceable sensation, exercises with absence and seepage rather than fixed forms. The text loops through dream-logic, accompanied by dialogues with the Wandering One—voice of abjection itself, speaking from the wound in language.

This is literature as contagion, writing that infects through atmospheric immersion rather than explanation. Through prose shifting between ritual instruction and ecstatic utterance, it deterritorializes your relationship to identity, spirituality, and symbolic order.

For those who carry the wrongness of belonging, who falter at thresholds they cannot name—the crooked path opens beneath your feet.

The Wandering One calls. The Black Flame rises. The exile current flows.
