The Black Flame at the Gate

There are gods who thunder when they descend, and gods who move as shadow upon the sand. Anubis comes in silence. In that stillness the heart steadies, the breath deepens, and a threshold forms before the soul. This work is a lamp set at that threshold. It draws from the same current that breathes through The Anubeon, distilled here as a devotional manual for the beginner, a hand extended to those who would walk in reverence with the Lord of the Sacred Land. Within these pages are the essentials: the principles of devotion, the generation of Heka, the mystery of Systasis, and the vision of Autopsis. Together they form a living path, simple in appearance, inexhaustible in depth.
