scorpio, the scorpion, is often transmuted with aquila, the eagle. which rises at the same time with scorpio; they are closely linked in symbolism. scorpio is 'the monster of darkness, who stings to death, and yet preserves and reproduces, symbolizing not only generation but regeneration. as the latter it is aquila, the eagle, the bird of the sun which has conquered the dark side of scorpio (that adversary that can drag man down lower than the beasts, but when transmuted is the eagle of light, which can exalt above the gods" the celestial ship of the north. vol. i (e. v. straiton. the "eye of the bull" in taurus, the magnificent fixed star, aldebaran, is one of the reasons why this constellation is regarded as conferring illumination. in ancient days it was called the leading star of the h

BEHOLDERS OF NIGHT

or kingdom of shadows. the luciferian essence is found within the eyes of cain, the father of witchblood, buried deep within the dark well of the watchers, from which our mind is of the deep. leviathan the serpent guards this gateway of the arcana of sleep, from which the twilight brings the nightside of the immortal, those who pass the veil of the birth caul of lilith through the essence of the adversary. the birth caul itself is a vampyric reference to folklore of europe. called specifically the amniotic membrane, which is a birth caul which almost guarantees in european folk lore that one will return from the dead, is the mark of the vampyric aspect of lilith, the death-mask of awakening towards the nightside. the caul itself as described by adrien cremene gave the following account, p

the skulls and the secrets they contain therein. the black flame itself is illuminated through the work of the left hand path, through the development of ones own self-divinity, through our famulus and servitors, the guardians and angels of our temple, the arcana of self as revealed in essence. each individual is a model of lucifer, whom is the imagination, or self. that we must shadow forth the adversary to rebel against the natural order, to awaken the black flame of self-knowledge. we are thus iblis, the children of the fire djinn whom shall taste from the skulls of the sleeping. ii) the adversary oh moon nourished haunters of dreams, who have tasted the souls blood of life, from the graves of corpse-sleep from which ye emerge, from the pools of blood beneath the fountains of red sea

thin and beyond! from nox umbra by michael ford the essence of perpetual revolution, or rebellion from the natural order, is the very concept of the opposer. to oppose one must seek to free the self from the limits set within society s context and rules. this is not an advocating of crime, but rather to work within still societies rules, mastering it all along. the true will is the essence of the adversary, which seeks to break free from the accepted order, an often unfertile result of the dayside world of the humanistic fellowship, which in time, leads to a stasis of being. it is in the solitude of the shadow can then the essence be revealed, to present the endless possibility of becoming. the adversary is called and known by many names and titles. among them are such as shaitan, iblis, s

a stasis of being. it is in the solitude of the shadow can then the essence be revealed, to present the endless possibility of becoming. the adversary is called and known by many names and titles. among them are such as shaitan, iblis, satan, lucifer and set. such god forms are masks of the prince of darkness who within ourselves offers freedom and divinity for those willing to strive for it. the adversary itself is the gateway from which we discover our own will, or direction of endless possibility of desire. this is the very conscious gift of the artist austin osman spare, whom of witch blood, gave us the gift of self liberation in the form of the grimoire the book of pleasure. that we may translate the system of the hand and the eye, within our personal universe form this luciferian doc

. this is the very conscious gift of the artist austin osman spare, whom of witch blood, gave us the gift of self liberation in the form of the grimoire the book of pleasure. that we may translate the system of the hand and the eye, within our personal universe form this luciferian doctrine to our own desire of becoming, shall be the greatest distinction from the order of the right hand path. the adversary exists within the 8 pointed sabbat star of chaos, called often algol. the very essence of chaos is disruption and the opening of possibility, that we may destroy that which hinders ourselves and thus creating a new form of order. order exists until the self grows into stasis, thus chaos then grows into a positive self-liberation process. the opposer/adversary thus holds the black flame o

two octaves or rays, is itself a means of psychic isolation from which the psyche is refined to a deified level. the watchers, or fallen angels of ancient lore are the guardians of the path of the wise. such angels dwell within the shadow gardens of twilight, of dreams and the nightside of being. we must listen closely, for their wisdom is that of the gifts of lucifer and lilith, that through the adversary can such beautiful musick be heard! the watchers, as brought forth by shemyaza/azazel, is the divine gift brought down from the sky unto man, whom was a primal sleeper which carried the bestial desires of the planet. the fallen angels thus brought divinity with the abyssic daemon of self, that we were divine in our dual essence. it is through the self-alchemical work of saturn, that one

hat one emerges awakened in unity. saturn is the guardian of death, or daath or the guardian of the threshold[8. in saturn there is a lower and higher octave, which is a passage way of self-exploration and self-perception. in the lower octave is satan or satanus/saturnus, the guardian of the depths and the daemonum of the earth. saturnus is the breaker of cosmic order, the essence of algol or the adversary, as well as death and regeneration. the demiurge saturnus is related to the number 666, being that of sorath, or the sun. satanas is this aspect is one form of the adversary, being rebellion, death and chaos from stasis. the very fire force of the sun is in the eye of satanas/saturnus, misrule and self-liberation through antinomianian awakening of saturn. the higher octave of saturn is l

ne of the specific focuses of the sabbatic path is one rising to acknowledge that the only god is the self, from which all other god and goddess find their existence in, it is from the well spring of the abyss (the subconscious) that we nourish our great famulus and demonium of the depths. the individual will then soon realize that there is no god and there is no devil, yet we as the image of the adversary, are both god and the master of the devil, the gifts of the fallen angels themselves. iv) the dragon and vampyrism i come before you, night born as the queen of the dead. behold unto my death mask, the temple of azothoz as a current of the living flame. i shall bless each one of you with the devil s sight, the serpents tongue shall speak of the secret alphabet which ye all shall scribe o

the witchblood of your veins, you are all my children, of lilith-hecate, your father is ahriman, lord of phantoms and darkness. lilith in nox umbra by michael ford the dragon itself holds a significant role within the darker and self-liberating aspects of the sabbatic path, being specifically a evocation of latent forms from which we become. considering the dragon itself is a model or form of the adversary, the symbolism of the red and black dragon are present. the red dragon itself is shaitan or samael, the dual aspects of self-liberation and transformation. as the red dragon is a mirror or exteriorized (viewed as a form outside the self) form of the primal self, the dragon is also a form of ourselves developed and initiated into the luciferian mysteries. the dragon itself as the adversar

BLACK WITCHCRAFT

ndation and essence of baphomet, the father of wisdom. the sabbatic god is both the union of the beast and the whore, ahriman (satan, samael) and az (lilith, babalon) which beget cain (by the circle of leviathan, the serpent of the depths. an initiatory image of cain as baphomet (by soror lilitu azhdeha) may be found in the book of cain and represents the black lord of the sabbat as a form of the adversary. a representation of this path may be found in my publications, luciferian witchcraft: a book of the serpent which contains the grimoires book of cain, goetic sorcery, yatuk dinoih, nox umbra, the paitisha, azothoz, vox sabbatum and much more. the infamous book of the witch moon also has presented a foundation for the darker aspects of sorcery and vampirism, which aleister crowley allude

forms of ahriman (samael) and the dreaming body of witches and sorcerers -liber hvhi here we can see that samael or satan/shaitan, is not the all devouring aspect, but also the savior of humanity and the original planter of the seed of light in our being. through cain did his lineage survive and continue on spiritually to this present time. lilith, being the bride of the devil, is one part of the adversary as being the dark instinctual side of man and woman, feminine, yet horrific and loving all within the same breath. lilith is known by the semitic layil which a word is meaning night, but also the name of the demon of the storm. lilith is associated with the screech owl and other beasts of the wild, as it is where she went after she left heaven to wander the earth. she is considered one o

youth, imagination and death. the son is within you and that is cain, the baphometic daemon whose magick is the core essence of the religion of sorcery. the very circle casting rite as written by gerald gardner presents the mother of witchcraft, mother, darksome and divine, mine the scourge and mine the kiss, the five-point star of love and bliss. within the circle there is the very graal of the adversary, that through self-love can the essence of the pentagram be sensed and understood. he refers to hecate or lilith (via diana) as being hell's dark mistress, heaven's queen. this is the dual nature of the devil and his bride, the adversary. that by both sabbat rites does the cup of heaven (aethyr, luciferian sabbat) and hell (infernal, chthonic sabbat) are filled. cain was the son born of

encircle them within his or her own arcana of practice. one may make reference as to foundation by the goetic sorcery grimoire, which presents a left hand path alignment with the 72 daemons of the shemhamforasche, but rather the rituals which prepare the magician for the summoning and encircling of such spirits. an invocation of the holy guardian angel, azal ucel, as well as the invocation of the adversary prepare the mental outlook of the magician, that rather than adopting a christian dogma, the daemonic spirit is illumined within through determined and willed practice. this may also make considerations for the commitment needed for this path and circle of luciferian witchcraft, that even within workings of light, the witch is becoming in the blackened flame of azazel (in a sigillic and

and whose blood is offered to his own angel-demon, the very essence and representation of the great work itself. the sabbat as being a dual participation of both dreaming and ceremonial/solitary ritual is represented as the fleshing of desire and belief, wherein the arcana of cain is revealed to the intiate, where there is no further difference between the great whore lilith-az and samael as the adversary, all are one through the expanding and deification of the magician. in summary the witch becomes a vessel and expression of ahriman and his bride, thus the circle of lucifer is complete and the casting has brought forth cain, thus the initiate is the first of witch blood and the skir-hand gnosis of shadow and light. the very foundations of the luciferian witchcraft gnosis is found in the

nitiates among the early christians to remain silent, while those who had never known the truth disfigured the order of things, judging of the hierarchy of "angels" by their exoteric form. thus as the asuras had become the rebellious inferior gods fighting the higher ones in popular creeds, so the highest archangel, in truth the agathodaemon, the eldest benevolent logos, became with theology the "adversary" or satan. but is this warranted by the correct interpretation of any old scripture? the answer is, most certainly not. as the mazdean scriptures of the[[footnote(s* the same idea is found in the first four chapters of genesis, with their "lord" and "god" which are the elohim and the androgynous eloha[[vol. 2, page] 61 what the gnostics say. zend-avesta, the vendidad and others correct a

rance and passions. there is no devil or the utterly depraved, as there are no angels absolutely perfect, though there may be spirits of light and of darkness; thus lucifer- the spirit of intellectual enlightenment and freedom of thought- is metaphorically the guiding beacon, which helps man to find his way through the rocks and sandbanks of life, for lucifer is the logos in his highest, and the "adversary" in his lowest aspect- both of which are reflected in our ego. lactantius, speaking of the nature of christ, makes the logos, the word, the first-born brother of satan, the "first of all creatures (inst. div. book ii, c. viii "qabbalah" 116) the vishnu purana describes these primeval creatures (the arvaksrota) with crooked digestive canals: they were "endowed with inward manifestations

njunction with self-consciousness that buddhi becomes the higher self and the divine, discriminating soul. christos is the seventh principle, if anything* to make it plainer, any one who reads that passage in luke, will see that the remark follows the report of the seventy, who rejoice that "even the devils (the spirit of controversy and reasoning, or the opposing power, since satan means simply "adversary" or opponent) are subject unto us through thy name (luke x. 17) now "thy name" means the name of christos, or logos, or the spirit of true divine wisdom, as distinct from the spirit of intellectual or mere materialistic reasoning- the higher self in short. and when jesus remarks to this that he has "beheld satan as lightning fall from heaven" it is a mere statement of his clairvoyant pow

d of material, physiological love, but to the divine desire in the gods, as well as in all nature, to create and give life to beings. this, the rays of the one "dark" because invisible and incomprehensible, flame could achieve only by themselves descending into matter. therefore, as continued in the appendix: 12 "many names hath god given him (satan, names of mystery, secret and terrible" 13 "the adversary, because matter opposeth spirit. time accuseth even the saints of the lord" 28, 29, 31 "stand in awe of him, and sin not; speak his name with trembling. for satan is the magistrate of the justice of god (karma; he beareth the balance and the sword. for to him are committed weight and measure and number" compare the last sentence with what the rabbi, who explains the kabala to prince al-c

evil-worship, so often leveled at witches, is ridiculous. the devil is a purely christian invention; there being no mention of him, as such, before the new testament. in fact it is interesting to note that the whole concept of evil associated with the devil is due to an error in translation. the original old testament hebrew ha-satan and the new testament greek diabolos simply mean "opponent" or "adversary. it should be remembered that the idea of dividing the supreme power into two good and evil is the idea of an advanced and complex civilization. the old gods, through their gradual development, were very much "human" in that they would have their good side and their bad side. it was the idea of an all-good, all-loving deity which necessitated an antagonist. in simple language, you can on

he sorcerer-dragon king from persian mythology called zohak, an original son of satan. the black triangle by more common knowledge is related to the concentration of will to evoke the daemon of man and woman, to uplift and envenom their spirit with the adversarial gnosis (an illustration is found in the paitisha. it must be considered appropriate that we explore the traits and descriptions of the adversary or opposer from a historical and mythological standpoint as well as from a practitioners own viewpoint. this will present the very need of imagination within magick itself, an essential ingredient to successful sorcery. while i am limited to encircling and crystallizing the finer points of the various forms of the adversary, i by no means have presented the entire spectrum of the opposer

rsary, i by no means have presented the entire spectrum of the opposer in praxis of the path. it is however, desired to offer a collective comment and study on the exhaustive sources of lucifer and lilith in their various forms throughout time, with inclusion to modern magicians such as charles pace, aleister crowley, nathaniel harris, anton szandor lavey, myself and others within the fire of the adversary. it must be understood that what is firstly considered the devil is only a cipher towards which lies within; that looks are deceiving and thus a test to the nature of both the opposer and the sorcerer within the context of relation. by passing through the darkness is a light revealed brighter than all others. beginning with the foundations of the adversary in the form of the egyptian set

ith the foundations of the adversary in the form of the egyptian set are we able to firstly understand that his force, while averse is indeed a necessary and 3 significantly important to the balance of nature in both a natural and supernatural sense. the shadow holds substance which bears the fruit of knowledge from the practitioner who is daring enough to taste it. set is the original opposer or adversary, whose form captivated and later frightened those who dare stand against him. the persian foundation of averse practice is found in some satanic lore written by zoroastrian priests. ahriman, the prince of darkness in that regions lore is the initiator of the shadow practice of sorcery, thus cannot be judged within a spectrum of the zoroastrian religion this gnosis is other and stands out

ditional right hand path religions. sorcery is a religion, and its doctrines are written in the will and works of the magician his or herself. the evil eye itself holds a precedence and importance within the practice of yatuk-dinoih, there are specific demons of the evil eye. this may be considered in the context of powerful consciousness, the will in consistent motion; thus therein a part of the adversary. consider also the nature of the other demons, savar, who is the leader and may be corresponded to the hebrew belial, the angel of lucifer, as well as taromat who is a demon of disobedience, thus antinomian in purpose and practice. in the context of the presented essay, the reader or practitioner of magick may by this find the associations to the grimoires of the luciferian path1 and how

ngel of lucifer, as well as taromat who is a demon of disobedience, thus antinomian in purpose and practice. in the context of the presented essay, the reader or practitioner of magick may by this find the associations to the grimoires of the luciferian path1 and how this form of practice manifests from mythological and historical sources. another question may be asked, what is the purpose of the adversary? in my years of practice and development of the art on a personal level, i feel and understand the nature of the adversary to be dual in its nature. satan is a tester, who by illuminating the self of the initiate asks and poses many questions and challenges; it is up to the individual to answer these by action and balanced thought. the devil has always given the greatest gifts, however t

nd challenges; it is up to the individual to answer these by action and balanced thought. the devil has always given the greatest gifts, however the cost is the test itself. you may be led into the darkness and feel as if you cannot go on therein is a test, to rise up through that trouble in your life to emerge as a bringer of light this is only a mere glimpse of the fall under the shadows of the adversary. the nature of lucifer is movement and motion; storms, chaos and order which arises from it. to drink the venom of this cup is cursing and blessing be prepared to change and mutate into something greater; or seal your fate to a mindless death. 1 see the suggested reading list at the end. 4 i. set the egyptian god of darkness i am set, the father of the gods. i shall never come to an end

ject, f. t. hall in his book the pedigree of the devil (1883) states: the term satan and satans which occur in the old testament, are certainly not applicable to the modern conception of satan as a spirit of evil; although it is not difficult to detect in the old hebrew mind a fruitful soil, in which the idea, afterwards evolved, would readily take root. the original idea of a satan is that of an adversary, or agent of opposition. the angel which is said to have withstood balaam is in the same breath spoken of as the angel of the lord, and a satan. when the philistines under achish their king were about to commence hostilities against the israelites under saul and david and his men were about to march with the philistines; the latter objected, lest, in the day of battle, david should becom

om discord enabled him to build the temple, which had been forbidden to his warlike father, david. this immunity was not, however, lasting; for hadad, the edomite, and regon, of zobah, became satans to solomon, after his profuse luxury had opened the way for corruption and disaffection. in all these cases, the idea is simply identical with the plain meaning of the word: a satan is an opponent, an adversary. in the elaborate curse embodied in the 109th psalm, the writer speaks of his enemies as his satans and prays that the object of his anathema may have satan standing at his right hand. the psalmist himself, in the sequel, fairly assumes the office of his enemy s satan, by enumerating his crimes and failings, and exposing them in their worst light. in the 71st psalm, enemies (v. 10) are i

l role assigned by god. specifically, the earliest satans were angels, sent by god for the purpose of obstructing or blocking the acts of human beings. thus, for example, in the story of balaam s ass in numbers, one of the earliest books of the bible, god sends an angel to block balaam s route, but god s anger was kindled because he went; and the angel of the lord took his stand in the way as his adversary (numbers 22:22. the word being translated here as adversary is the hebrew word satan. this original concept subsequently goes through a gradual expansion of meaning. by the time of the book of job, a much later composition, satan has become the name of a specific angel in god s celestial court: now there was a day when the sons of god came to present themselves before the lord, and satan

jotnar characteristic of the mythic present will be reversed. surt will lead the forces of chaos against the gods, who will fall. the creative activities of the near past will be undone: time reckoning will fail as the sun and moon are swallowed and the heavens destroyed, and the entire cosmos will be consumed by flames and water. each of the major gods will die in individual combat with a giant adversary, but odin, at least, will be avenged, by his son vidar, the silent god, and this vengeance constitutes a bridge to the distant future, the period after ragnarok when the second-generation gods vidar and vali, magni and modi, and, perhaps most important, baldr and hod, victim and killer, will inhabit the renewed earth. they will possess the cultural property of their ancestors in the form

ny case, accidental or not, baldr fs death must be avenged, and voluspa and baldrs draumar also agree that vengeance was visited on hod. just after saying that hod did shoot, the seeress who speaks voluspa adds these lines: baldr fs brother was quickly born; that son of odin killed when he was one night old. 33. he did not wash his hands or comb his head, until he had carried to the pyre baldr fs adversary. frigg still weeps in fensalir the woe of valholl. similarly, in baldrs draumar odin asks the seeress who will avenge baldr, and she replies with another version of the lines just quoted. and saxo has an elaborate story of how odin sires the avenger bous on rinda (rind. in gylfaginning snorri tells how the gods take vengeance on loki but are silent toward hod. 178 norse mythology however

own with brushwood and tall grass: there the son gets off the back of a mare, the brave one, to avenge his father. vidar fs silence is unexplained in the texts that have come down to us. some scholars believe it may derive from ritual silences or other abstentions accompanying acts of vengeance; baldr fs brother, presumably vali, does not wash his hands or comb his hair until he has laid baldr fs adversary on the funeral pyre (voluspa, stanza 33, and baldrs draumar, stanza 11. as for the shoe, it is definitely associated with vengeance, for vidar uses his shoe, according to snorri, to take vengeance on the wolf fenrir for killing odin (who is his father, according to voluspa, stanza 56. just after snorri has the wolf swallow odin, he writes this: immediately thereafter vidar will come fort

orcery and set- typhon by michael w. ford first written in 2003 and updated january 2006 suti (set) and the devil-forms of ancient egypt i am the crocodile-god (sebak) who dwelleth amid his terrors. i am the crocodile-god and i seize (my prey) like a ravening beast transformation into the crocodile-god from the egyptian book of the dead set is considered in the developing luciferian gnosis as the adversary, an early form of the adversary. the crocodile god sebak in the egyptian book of the dead draws some aspects similar in nature to set, such as the forms he would take. seemingly, it is considered by the initiatory focus into the symbol and traits of set, verily the greatest of the gods embodied many different aspects and forms in egyptian mythology. seker seems to also be a god associate

his spirit was against the natural laws and went forth upon its own course. in the luciferian path, the common element of practice is to forge with your own identification of mythology, your own path against others. that is, by antinomian practice from a spiritual foundation, the adept becomes like set or ahriman, not in any western evil definition, rather in the spiritual sense. the names of the adversary in ancient egypt (as set and apophis) were many, a few examples are: nak, sabau, apophis, suti, baba, smy, hemhemti, pakerbeth, saatet-ta, qerneru, tutu, nesht, hau-hra, iubani, amam, sebaent- seba, khak-ab, khan-ru,uai sau, beteshu, kharubu the four times wicked the smaiu and mesu betshet were the children of rebellion, those who were shape shifters and cult members who venerated the se

giant serpent who held the power of the evil eye. this serpent would seduce his prey and then devour their spirits. know that the forms of set are many, the god of darkness and war is also a creative god of progression and shape shifting. he survives by transformation. the path of sorcerous arte known as luciferian witchcraft, is perhaps becoming a clearer subject under the sethian concept of the adversary as a dual and necessary force. just as chaos magick is a development of primal sorcery, without limitations, the luciferian path is a further and refined development of primal sorcery with a defined path towards the sethian becoming, and the ongoing process of self-transformation. luciferian witchcraft presents a gateway to gnosis of what our culture has called satan, specifically reachi

ecessary force. just as chaos magick is a development of primal sorcery, without limitations, the luciferian path is a further and refined development of primal sorcery with a defined path towards the sethian becoming, and the ongoing process of self-transformation. luciferian witchcraft presents a gateway to gnosis of what our culture has called satan, specifically reaching into the roots of the adversary to discover the various cultural traits of the luciferian spirit. ahriman is a primary source of this fountain of gnosis, however set or sutekh as the god of darkness is equally as fascinating if one may find a semblance of interest there. consider the ideals of the luciferian path. in luciferian witchcraft, by michael w. ford, the very foundation of the adversary is presented as a multi

is presented as a multicultural force, thus existing within the universe and not a creation of mankind. while man had created anthropomorphic attributes, this spirit if you will pre-existed human consciousness. to practice luciferian witchcraft and sorcery, one essentially prepares the mind and body to be a vessel for this force, not joining in union with it, rather encircling the essence of the adversary and allowing the self to shape chaos into self-willed order within the self. this, by definition alone is chaos magick. what transfers the title is a result of what transformed the gnosis itself, the intent of the work. be cautious in the terms of chaos magick, you are not simply paradigm shifting, rather utilizing chaotic forces to utilize temporary order in the self to grow stronger an

ce is symbolized in luciferian witchcraft s "azothoz. in this work, i used the method of poem and prose to write a cipher of ensorcelling the self, or spiritual awareness through a luciferian and sethian mirror. in this work, my position was to clearly draw the connection and becoming process of self-initiation through the lore of the watchers, the nephilim, the black eagle and the essence of the adversary. the combination of art and text invoke the very spirit of shaitan and lilith to those who may embrace it. azothoz reaches into the current of magick to manifest itself in the initiate who may be of this essence, born by the spark of djinn fire to witch blood. this is a luciferian process of self- liberation which invites a deeper understanding of daemon and angel, their union outside of

t the powers that such the darkness would bring. iblis, a title of shaitan is described in ancient texts as a spirit of fire, one whose eternal flame would bow before no one, not even a god force. iblis/shaitan understood he was unique and powerful within his being, and that by separating himself from the natural order, would become as a god. azothoz presents a cipher in poem on the nature of the adversary and becoming. lilith-az-babalon- hecate the daemonic feminine is the fountain of the witch cult, in it's dreaming and waking aspect. while wicca has taken a more sterile approach to the goddess, a luciferian sorcerer acknowledges the beauty of the daemonic goddess as a well of power and selfdeification. through babalon we drink the blood of saints and emerge as god itself. lilith is the

apis(minotaur-like) with the body of a man and the head of a bull. labyrinths were symbolic of the involvements and illusions of the lower world through which wanders the soul of man in its search for truth. in the labyrinth dwells the lower animal man with the head of the bull, who seeks to destroy the soul entangled in the maze of worldly ignorance. in this relation serapis becomes the tryer or adversary who tests the souls of those seeking union with the immortals. the maze was also doubtless used to represent the solar system, the bull-man representing the sun dwelling in the mystic maze of its planets, moons, and asteroids. the gnostic mysteries were acquainted with the arcane meaning of serapis, and through the medium of gnosticism this god became inextricably associated with early c

he five extra days were gathered together by the god of cosmic intelligence to serve as the birthdays of the five gods and goddesses who are called the sons and daughters of ham. upon the first of these special days osiris was born and upon the fourth of them isis (the number four shows the relation that this goddess bears to the earth and its elements) typhon, the egyptian demon or spirit of the adversary, was born upon the third day. typhon is often symbolized by a crocodile; sometimes his body is a combination of crocodile and hog. isis stands for knowledge and wisdom, and according to plutarch the word typhon means insolence and pride. egotism, selfcenteredness, and pride are the deadly enemies of understanding and truth. this part of the allegory is revealed. after osiris, here symbol

MICHAEL W FORD THE VAMPIRE GATE

for long been a fascination and desire sought by many. no doubt you have considered what it would be like to fly in the night, drain another of energy and live like a god or goddess. if applied, this grimoire may help you. i strongly advise that you be of sound mind and to have begun a basic study or practice as defined in book of the witch moon, luciferian witchcraft and liber hvhi magick of the adversary as these books will prepare you. the vampyre magickian is indeed one who has stepped beyond the foundations of the luciferian path. the model of this path is based in more advanced magick and sorcery techniques, which may be dangerous as well. i caution the use of this tome and suggest you not misuse it it can cause many issues if responsibility is not practiced. the vampyre magickian ta

emonic archetypes of the path of luciferian witchcraft, namely samael and lilith. in the auspices of the vampyric path, it is ahriman (the black dragon) and tiamat (the red dragon. while tiamat in this aspect is the primordial form of lilith, she appears black from the wisdom of endless time. it is that samael, lilith and leviathan are joined in primal union hence tiamat is the collected sumerian adversary. she is the mother of darkness, dragons and vampirism. vampirism is a concept which begins in the subconscious. it is a power which hungers, that which seeks to consume all. it has no concern for rules or for the spiritual laws it is the essence of the law of the talon. this very hunger is related to az or lilith, symbolically tiamat, it is the hunger for continued existence in this phys

ion (godhood. tiamat is the first power of draconian darkness, the vampire which is the primal union of lilith and samael, guided by leviathan. she is before all others. tiamat was in the form of a giant dragon, a sea dragon who had the head of a griffin or tiger, wings, claws and a scaly tale. she appears also as a giant serpent. tiamat resembles the legends of ahriman as the dragon. here is the adversary, she is the night and the abyss. tiamat can give life and create what she wishes, much like ahriman created the archdaevas to counter creation. tiamat was a sorceress, a powerful first witch who was both vampire and goddess to all. the demonic feminine is equally important to the adversarial formula in luciferian witchcraft as it is the balance which acknowledges the female generative pr

nto contact with a vampyre female named countess dolingen for the sorcerer interested in developing the vampyric path, literary and folklore is highly suggested. it is through inspired magickal lore that one may develop their own form of becoming, something which may add to their own arcana of belief. in the yatuk dinoih, the lines of persian sorcery and vampyrism are close, as connected with the adversary form of ahriman. an early ritual described in "sacrifices in greek and roman religion and early judaism" by royden keith yeikes describes a persian blood ritual known as 'taurobolium, which holds a connection to mithris and the lore of the bull. in this ritual, the practitioner slays a bull on a platform, which has many holes in the wood. the blood then pours upon the individual. symboli

umption of identity. akhtya was considered an "evil" sorcerer, the founder of yatus, or yatuk-dinoih (witchcraft- a guild of sorcerers who practiced black magic or adversarial rites under the direction or path of ahriman in ancient persia. yatuk/yatus is considered now a left hand path approach to witchcraft, that is by encircling the self one may achieve self-initiation into the mysteries of the adversary, the opposition of self against the natural order. the image or archetype through which self is in awakening is the image of ahriman, refer to the khorda avesta (book of common prayer) translated by james darmesteter, from "sacred books of the east, american edition, 1898. the ideal mind set of this ritual and any in the yatuk dinoih is one working with the most primordial forces of the

position of sexual repression by the church provided the fresh fuel for the smoldering sparks of the old religion among the common people. but the church and the feudal establishment would soon move to combat the evil influence of the resurrected pan, god of fertility, nature, and freedom. church scholars would soon consult the ancient manuscripts to determine how best to deal with the formidable adversary who had returned from the past. the feudal lords would soon lose all patience with the rebellious serfs and set about to slay them as methodically as a farmer sets out to remove noxious weeds from his fields of grain, and the church would ignite a flame which would eventually destroy thousands of innocents in the inquisition. pan, the horned and goathoofed god of the ancient mystery rite

systems may be adapted based on the predilection of the individual, that certain aspects may be altered for better results. the luciferian edition of the goetia, by michael w. ford is based on his own individual practice of goetic magick without the christian dogma of earlier versions. the luciferian edition of the goetia is a grimoire of both high and low sorcery, it unites by the formula of the adversary, the shadow and the light. while the individual seeks to become and initiate self-development, his or her own goals may be achieved by a unity of sorcerous practice and self-deification. the goetia was refined in a luciferian sense by the practices developed partially by aleister crowley, francis barrett, s.l. 10 macgregor mathers and other sources. the invocations of this edition were w

THE ABYSS AND TABAET

y michael w. ford introduction the purpose of the following essay is to not only examine masks worn by the fallen angels throughout history as well as to examine the etymology of the spirit of self-liberation and opposition from the praxis of occult thought. the very passing of power in the circle of witchcraft and sorcery is the averse way of bringing into union daemon and man, the intent of the adversary is life and the immortality of the spirit. as luciferian witchcraft and liber hvhi provide a foundation of sorcery which incorporates an interwoven praxis of antinomianism and self-deification, the essential origins of the daemonic feminine and masculine should be further understood by its origins. what is regarded as common knowledge depicts that the luciferian spirit, what is found are

of the spirit. as luciferian witchcraft and liber hvhi provide a foundation of sorcery which incorporates an interwoven praxis of antinomianism and self-deification, the essential origins of the daemonic feminine and masculine should be further understood by its origins. what is regarded as common knowledge depicts that the luciferian spirit, what is found are the associative traits and that the adversary has existed long before christianity. the avestan texts as well as the denkard provide a wealth of knowledge of ahriman from a right hand path point of view, consider as such a veil which can only be passed through by the great work of initiation. the names and cultural expressions of the adversary are briefly explored as an introduction, from the ancient persian, hebraic and even norse

sary has existed long before christianity. the avestan texts as well as the denkard provide a wealth of knowledge of ahriman from a right hand path point of view, consider as such a veil which can only be passed through by the great work of initiation. the names and cultural expressions of the adversary are briefly explored as an introduction, from the ancient persian, hebraic and even norse, the adversary appears in each. as tempter, war maker, wisdom bringer and devouring predatory spirit. look to the common aspects which make the opposer as a force of initiation. lucifer/ahriman/samael is a spirit which is made viable through the adept his/herself, this force is expressive of the individual, thus each manifestation unique as the initiate in question. the primal abyss she filled their bo

e beasts which prey upon others is the desire of tiamat. what she gave to humanity was never cleansed from the ancient darkness in the subconscious, there is still a coiling serpent within. the ancient dragon which personified the primal sea was tiamat, according to george barton the name tiamat was equivalent to the same stem which meant tamtu, being the primal waters of the abyss. tiamat is the adversary from a atavistic viewpoint, her form too terrible to comprehend. an interesting concept of the demonic feminine as a motivational factor in all life can be found in the archetype of tiamat. the adversary, long hidden away in a morass of filth by those who would hate the darkness, those who would commit greater crimes on humanity and veil such in the words of god. they are indeed old, the

too terrible to comprehend. an interesting concept of the demonic feminine as a motivational factor in all life can be found in the archetype of tiamat. the adversary, long hidden away in a morass of filth by those who would hate the darkness, those who would commit greater crimes on humanity and veil such in the words of god. they are indeed old, the two-fold principle of darkness, known as the adversary, call it samael and lilith or the older ahriman and jeh, the very isolate god of darkness. tiamat is the very first manifestation of this force, from a time when darkness held in its arms hideous monsters, the very demonic shapes which still seek our thoughts in the darkest hours of our mind. in times of stress and turmoil, these atavistic beasts seek to escape from the barbed wire, crue

ame of tiamat, the book of enoch mentions this serpent to not just an abyssic demon, rather a fallen angel who beholds power in the noon tide sun. the serpent later with the use of seduction, tempted mankind to accept the gift of the black flame in the form of an apple, leading to the possibility of mankind being as gods if they chose to. tiamat may be a etymological form of what would become the adversary as ahriman/jahi or samael/lilith, the name itself being the enemy of the so-called righteous, depending on whoever associates with the term at that time. the origins of the adversary ahriman was first within the womb along with his brother, ohrmazd. ohrmazd had overheard zurvan whisper 'whichever of the two shall come to me first, him will i make king. upon hearing this ohrmazd told his

sense (if desired) or a spiritual one. az or jeh, the whore or demonic feminine, was the 'weapon of concupiscence' which ahriman chooses it of his own free will 'as his very essence. the lightening which emerges from the abyss manifests upon earth, the storm bringing shadow called daemon can be only comprehended once the seeker enters the circle, wherein all gods and demons meet in the flesh! the adversary opens forth serpent eyes, finding all in the primal darkness and with an inner fire awakening the clay on man! yet it is the compliment of the masculine in lilith or az or the earlier jahi who is the fiery compliment which rouses her mate to manifest upon earth! the feminine which is the essence of lilith is just as her mate samael, in the form of leviathan does she inspire his mind just

f the father of serpents. there is the immortal spirit which exists in the depths of the mind, guided up through the darkness with an inner fire of rahab, the angel of violence, whose breath is the lightening of inspiration and self-deification. this ancient spirit rises up from the oceans in our bodies and envenoms our spirit to the possibilities of our deification! from the great sleep does the adversary come forth as the balance of the feminine and masculine, the primal path of the black and red serpent. rahab, who makes the orbs of light dark with its presence, a shadow cast upon the self-righteous and weak. as ahriman did he first create the predators of the earth, wolves, serpents, flies, scorpions, did his fire of darkness create the six archdaevas who bring wisdom and power to mank

ents, flies, scorpions, did his fire of darkness create the six archdaevas who bring wisdom and power to mankind, against the mindnumbing arch-angels of ahura mazda. was it not jahi whose voice of inspiration rouse the dragon from his slumber, bringing chaos and motion into this world? yet ahriman brings order as well, knowing that stasis is death and the spirit must continually move forward. the adversary s origins are found in both the feminine and masculine, that balance must bring the lively intelligence of existence. here is the sacred cup made from the human skull, to drink of it s elixir is to taste the lifeforce which illuminates and makes free the spirit! one may refer to the name of ahriman or angra-mainyu for a source of the adversary on earth. the root of the word mainyu is the

attrtibutes but could detect spirits, sat at the mouth of hell and sought to drag souls into darkness. material based daevas such as druj nasu, came in the form of a fly and transformed the body into dark matter and the spirit into a type of spiritual predator. the names and etymology of ahriman (satan) in rabbinical, which is old jewish religious text and apocryphal writings, the names of satan (adversary) are many. just as his forms are different, so is the source of him, remember that the adversary is both of darkness and light and uses elements of both in accordance with his will. belial as the name of the adversary in recent times been considered different from satan, old grimoire texts mention belial was the angel created after lucifer. belial is considered by hebrew texts to be the

lained by numerous etymological studies as meaning wicked but also one who is the opposer of established authorities. belial was suggested as meaning in samuel as the rivers of the underworld, then as a force than a specific person. the orthography of the luciferian path as defined in michael w. ford s luciferian witchcraft and liber hvhi is based inpart on the trans-cultural manifestation of the adversary throughout time. belial is held in hasidic traditions as being identified as a manifestation of satan, specifically in the ascension of isaiah belial is called beliar and is considered the same as samael, called malkira or malak ra the angel of lawlessness or angel of evil. this name is sammal malchira and is a manifestation of angro mainyush or ahriman. in the ascension of isaiah, belia

as thrown off the yoke of heaven and is thus without a master. the luciferian finds connections in the path of history and mythology and seeks to make them work for he or she in the modern world. the spirit of belial is of the mastery of the earth, identified with the element of earth and the north, from which ahriman is identical. consider the four elements however and their association with the adversary as a spirit of self-deification and self-mastery. samael is known in the talmudic texts as being the same as satan, the chief of evil spirits who is known as the venom of god. samael is said to have twelve wings rather than the six of normal angels, a favored assumption. as the angel of death, samael was the angel of poison which is sain ha-mawet, along with ashmodai, is the lord of demo

ament with regards to him holding the title of prince of demons. the name beelzebub or beelzebuth actually can be derived from baal zebub, baal meaning lord and zebub which holds reference in hebrew as hostility, thus baal zebub is the lord of hostility or they enemy, a title of the opposer. dominus muscarum is also a translation of the title of beelzebub, meaning lord of flies and relates to the adversary being in part a spirit of the air. baal-zebub as the name of a god worshipped in the philistine city of ekron around 850 b.c. and was considered a controller of flies and perhaps plague. if the initiate of the luciferian path looks deep within the history of the adversary, little of christianity may be needed. the adversary is no christian creation, nor does it need the concept of god as

versary, little of christianity may be needed. the adversary is no christian creation, nor does it need the concept of god as so many have decried. in the west, all gods and demons have been transformed to suit whatever they need it for, such is known as a mild case of chaos magick and thus may be useful. the luciferian knows the importance of discipline, if you build yourself in the image of the adversary with the traits associated with, the adept will truly be a god upon this earth. lilith, known as the queen of demons, a bestial body with a sometimes beautiful appearance, was called mother of ahriman and is related to blood sucking vampiric demons and other night spirits. lilith is one half of the adversary is there were, is truly a satanic or luciferian source of self-mastery and stren

elated baphomet as the bride of satan. the dark feminine energies were recognized as a valid magical practice in certain texts, azanigin being a name of the dark goddess and which such satanic magick was practiced. what is underlying is not what order practices what, rather that the demonic feminine or the fiery inspiration itself is central to initiatory development. my grimoires or books of the adversary, luciferian witchcraft and liber hvhi deal exclusively with the dark feminine and masculine as equal forms of the adversary and luciferian practice, something which requires more discipline to work with in terms of initiation as it requires balance and the application of reason to achieve magical results. one may consider the demon of the void mentioned in john dee s diaries who is calle

al. the hebraic of choronzon is chvrvnvn and according to kenneth grant relates to 333, one half of 666 with the other being shugal, the desert howler. as coronzom is the original name written by dee, this would add to 323 which represents the qlippoth of aquarius which in liber hvhi is represented as behemiron, shadows and demonic fragments which the sorcerer may utilize to draw energy from. the adversary from a left hand path perspective "our way is all about, in its beginnings, and for those daring individual who join us, liberating the dark or shadow aspect of the personality. to achieve this, we sometimes encourage individuals to undergo formative experiences of a kind which more conventional societies and individuals frown upon or are afraid of but the strong survive, the weak perish

ional societies and individuals frown upon or are afraid of but the strong survive, the weak perish. all this- and the other directly magickal experiences like those you yourself have experienced- develop both the character of the individual and their magickal abilities. in short, from the satanic novice, the satanic adept is produced- falcifer order of nine angles consider the very nature of the adversary, the wicked dragon whose very essence was continual change, self-mastery and power. his and her forms are many, from masculine to feminine to the effeminate. the barbarian and violence embodied soldier to the diplomatic statesman, the psychologist to the murderer. the adversary is made great in this world by the individuals who manifest it in our material world. the children of the lie a

city yearly to worship and to sacrifice unto the lord of hosts in shiloh. and the two sons of eli, hophni and phinehas, the priests of the lord [were] there. 1:4 and when the time was that elkanah offered, he gave to peninnah his wife, and to all her sons and her daughters, portions: 1:5 but unto hannah he gave a worthy portion; for he loved hannah: but the lord had shut up her womb. 1:6 and her adversary also provoked her sore, for to make her fret, because the lord had shut up her womb. 1:7 and [as] he did so year by year, when she went up to the house of the lord, so she provoked her; therefore she wept, and did not eat. 1:8 then said elkanah her husband to her, hannah, why weepest thou? and why eatest thou not? and why is thy heart grieved [am] not i better to thee than ten sons? 1:9

el, which hath been with me these days, or these years, and i have found no fault in him since he fell [unto me] unto this day? 29:4 and the princes of the philistines were wroth with him; and the princes of the philistines said unto him, make this fellow return, that he may go again to his place which thou hast appointed him, and let him not go down with us to battle, lest in the battle he be an adversary to us: for wherewith should he reconcile himself unto his master [should it] not [be] with the heads of these men? 29:5 [is] not this david, of whom they sang one to another in dances, saying, saul slew his thousands, and david his ten thousands? 29:6 then achish called david, and said unto him, surely [as] the lord liveth, thou hast been upright, and thy going out and thy coming in with

king in the room of his father: for hiram was ever a lover of david. 5:2 and solomon sent to hiram, saying, 5:3 thou knowest how that david my father could not build an house unto the name of the lord his god for the wars which were about him on every side, until the lord put them under the soles of his feet. 5:4 but now the lord my god hath given me rest on every side [so that there is] neither adversary nor evil occurrent. 5:5 and, behold, i purpose to build an house unto the name of the lord my god, as the lord spake unto david my father, saying, thy son, whom i will set upon thy throne in thy room, he shall build an house unto my name. 5:6 now therefore command thou that they hew me cedar trees out of lebanon; and my servants shall be with thy servants: and unto thee will i give hire

i will surely rend the kingdom from thee, and will give it to thy servant. 11:12 notwithstanding in thy days i will not do it for david thy father s sake [but] i will rend it out of the hand of thy son. 11:13 howbeit i will not rend away all the kingdom [but] will give one tribe to thy son for david my servant s sake, and for jerusalem s sake which i have chosen. 11:14 and the lord stirred up an adversary unto solomon, hadad the edomite: he [was] of the king s seed in edom. 11:15 for it came to pass, when david was in edom, and joab the captain of the host was gone up to bury the slain, after he had smitten every male in edom; 11:16 (for six months did joab remain there with all israel, until he had cut off every male in edom) 11:17 that hadad fled, he and certain edomites of his father s

en hadad heard in egypt that david slept with his fathers, and that joab the captain of the host was dead, hadad said to pharaoh, let me depart, that i may go to mine own country. 11:22 then pharaoh said unto him, but what hast thou lacked with me, that, behold, thou seekest to go to thine own country? and he answered, nothing: howbeit let me go in any wise. 11:23 and god stirred him up [another] adversary, rezon the son of eliadah, which fled from his lord hadadezer king of zobah: 11:24 and he gathered men unto him, and became captain over a band, when david slew them [of zobah] and they went to damascus, and dwelt therein, and reigned in damascus. 11:25 and he was an adversary to israel all the days of solomon, beside the mischief that hadad [did] and he abhorred israel, and reigned over
