Liber Null & Psychonaut: An Introduction to Chaos Magic - Peter J. Carroll 1987

Reincarnation
Liber AOM

Integral reincarnation is the final metamorphosis. It is the supreme ritual of sex and death by which adepts attain to the degree of master.

In the ordinary course of events, the personal aether and life force of Kia disintegrate as the material body disintegrates. New beings are built up from the pool of the universal life force in the same way that they are built up from the universal pool of matter. The personal life force then finds its way back into incarnation broken up into millions of parts scattered into many beings.

The adept magician however will have so strengthened his spirit by magic that it is possible for him to carry it over whole into a new body. In an exceptional display of power it may even be possible to retain specific memories in aether form. It is by such a process that adepts achieve the final degree of mastership. The supreme rituals of sex and death exist in three forms: the Red, Black, and White Rites.

The Red Rite

This rite can only be performed by male adepts and is performed when the adept's body has become very aged or damaged. The adept takes a young, strong female and forms a powerful love bond to her. He impregnates her and then during the early stages of the pregnancy, within the first two months, he voluntarily ends his present existence. The powers of the adept developed in astral travel workings, coupled with the effects of the love bond to the mother, cause a reincarnation into the developing fetus. Provision is beforehand made for the security of the female and the reeducation of the reincarnating master.

The Black Rite

This rite consists of the forceful entry of a spirit into the body of an already inhabited being. It is both dangerous and unreliable and used only in certain peculiar and desperate situations. It will sometimes result in there being a double life force in one body, if the invading spirit fails to displace the occupant. In this case the victim will seem to have gone mad. In any case the memory of the taken-over being remains, and the invading-being will have to work through this. Of this rite I have been advised to say no more….

The White Rite

In this rite an integral reincarnation is achieved, but the receiving body is a fetus randomly selected by the escaping spirit in astral flight. In the event that one's friends, followers, and disciples might be unable to locate one's new manifestation and ensure that it receives a proper magical education, it may be wise to carry an aetheric marker. At death some sigil emblematic of one's magical aspiration is fiercely visualized. It may later be apparent to clairvoyant perception in the aetheric constitution of the developing infant, or it may serve to cause some recognition or affinity with the symbol if it is perchance accidentally stumbled upon in the new existence.
