Introduction
I have yet to meet the author of this work in the flesh', although we
have communed more than thrice in the Astral Lodge of the Black
Brotherhood, and bumped into each other at the dreaded Dream Sabbat. We
have also exchanged much banter via the post, ranging from deep
discussion of the mysteries, the echange of research, experiential
and experimental magical formulae, knowledge, ideas, and the obligatory bit
of gossip. In this age of so called 'Magical Revival' Michael Ford is one of the
few individuals with enough self-surety to declare himself openly an Adept
of the Black Arts... and get away with it. Let us pay attention to the fact
that he lives in an American State where billboards declare 'Don't Mess
With Jesus- by order of the State Governer of Texas', and if they could
burn heretics in their Mercy Seat you can be sure they damned well
would.
It is thus with honour and pride that I introduce you to Michael Ford's
latest grimoire of Satanic Witchcraft. Here you will find chilling formulae of
the Craft Sinister, embracing the averse forces of Cain, walking the
antinomian path of the isolate self, breaking eucharist in memory and
celebration of the first murder, quaffing the blood of Seth in greedy
mouhfulls from a chalice formed from some poor unfortunate's vacated
cranium, and revelling in all that brings power to the self. This is not
mere vain pagan observance. It is not the 'milk and water' witchcraft
that the modern media is so keen to shove down our thraots in their
glossy magazines, on our T.V. sets, in our cinemas. Rather, it is a facet of
that 'Black Tradition' that has lurked in the shadows of human culture
since the first cities of Babylon were erected, and the first servants of
Chaos were spawned by the demon Qingu, leader of Tiamat's horde.
Michael's invocations wax lyrical in the names of Lilith, Hecate, Satan,

Lucifer, and are punctuated with names and words of power more
barbaric still. This is not a path of prayer and supplication, but
recognition of the sorcerer's own inherant powers. The forces of Darkness are
called upon as a means of self-expression, self-empowerment, and self-
deification. This is something common to many paths of genuine magick
and sorcery, from the possession cults of Voodoo to the 'god forms' of
the Gloden Dawn. The various Archetypes, or Mysteries, are called into
focus through ritual. All the sesnse are brought to bare upon an ecstatic
moment of self-identification. One might say that at such moments the
deeper realms of consciousness well up and envelop the ego, creating an
instance of shaken belief when acts of sorcery may thus be performed with
absolute surety in one's own power. Through such intense meditations
we come face to face with our deeper minds, symbolised as the
cthonian realms, populated by legions of chattering
5

demons. Even the briefest attempts to attain mental silence, as any

magician will know, reveals that beneath our ego we are each a gateway of
Pandemonium.
Michael Ford evidently has a good relationship with these 'gatekeepers' of the
subconscious Forgotten Arcana. His work has attracted a lot of
attention, from the new generation of Lilith's spawn to Old Skratte's like
myself. This is the real thing- witchcraft for goats, not sheep. So consider
yourself warned.
In the historical witchcraft of England there existed (and still exists) a

powerful oath which runs as follows;
'I deny God and all Religion
I curse, blaspheme, and provoke God with all despite
I give my faith to the Devel, and my worship and offer sacrifice to him
I do solemnly vow and promise all my progeny unto the Devel I
swear to the Devel to bring as many into his society as I can I
will always swear in the name of the Devel.'
I would say that Mr. Ford, the Order of Phosphorus, and the inner Black
Order of the Dragon, have endeavoured to uphold this tradition
gloriously. With the band Psychonaut 75, and related musical projects, he
has seduced the ears of his listeners with that dark power which was given
unto Jubal-Cain by His Infernal Majesty, far back in the history of the Craft
Sinister. This is not some armchair accademic writing anthropological,
sociological, or even scatalogical nonsense for those who seek to
'intellectually understand'. This text you hold in your hand has resulted
from his own ongoing dedicated personal journey as a sorcerer. Michael
Ford is truly an 'Unholy Roller', tireless in his spiritual and psychic
rebellion, ever calling new souls to Darkness like the cunning serpent in
the garden.
So many supposed 'Left Hand Pathers' turn out to be sex fearing

introverts who cannot even look you in the eye when they talk to you,
much less 'overlook' or cast any real spells. Michael Ford, however, is the
life and soul of any party, and is (like me) constantly in the company of
beautiful women as any true Magister should be. What more proof of power
need there be? Genuine power is sexy. Crap magicians do not get laid.
Towards the end of this volume, you will find rites and rituals of a
decisively sexual nature. Enough said?

Authors Note
Luciferian Witchcraft - The Book of the Serpent is a grimoire which

presents, refines and explores a modern approach to the Adversary and
Magick. In most recent times we have seen the shadow aspects of man
and woman being pushed to the side, denied and hidden away. So-called
Witches ignore their roots and foundations, placing credit in unbalanced
perceptions of a Light and Fluffy world of blantant inconsistencies and little
if any magical practice or power. Let me first state the intentions of the
grimoire as it is here presented. The aim of the witch or sorcerer is to build a
foundation of balance that is by material and spiritual aims. Do not ignore
either as one cannot truly develop properly if consistency is not shown.
Discipline applied with the triad of Will-Desire-Belief is essential in
creating individual systems of sorcery. As a Luciferian, I decided early on
based on my developing work that I could adhere to no single system, as my
dreams guided me elsewhere. As I began practicing Magick based on what I
perceived and appreciated from Aleister Crowley, Anton Szandor LaVey and
Austin Osman Spare as well as the grimoire traditions, my own
formulation of the Witches Sabbat as a living initiatory model could be
founded. The Adversary or Satan speaks to us in dreams, it is made viable
in our blood and our individual lives. The challenges of Luciferian
Witchcraft are many; it is a path where the practitioner becomes like
Cain who leaves an outsted or solitary life outside the natural order or
the world around us. The witch becomes different from all others and
holds pride in that fact. The path challenges, continually making the
self stronger, better and a little more knowledgable - Magickal power comes
firstly within and through the actual application of practice.
This book is meant as an introduction and complete grimoire into the Left
Hand Path of Witchcraft, the gnosis of the fallen angels and the very powers
of both darkness and light. Please take care, when you first step within and
cast the circle of Cain, be prepared to change, willing to dive the depths of
your own created hell and form the world according to your will.
There are no words which I may write here to describe what will come of
your journey through Luciferian Witchcraft, only that you shall awaken
something which you may or may not be prepared to deal with. I take no
responsibility for the misuse of this grimoire; I treat it as a living Daemon
itself and a part of a vital and living current. From Cainnite Sorcery and
Cunning Craft, to Persian Yatuvidah and Ahrimanic Magick, to Sethanic
Adversarial rites - the path grows and expands through darkness as a
torch first seen in the dead of night.
I do consider this work to be a manifestation from the Abyss, the works
contained herein are ushered forth from the coldest mountains of the
7
Persian desert, the very callings Angra Mainyu heard on all four winds,
from various cultures to our own western world we now live in.
The Sexual Sorcery of Adamu is a crowning of the Great Work itself, it is a
vital expression of the current of Lucifer/Ahriman and his bride Az -
Lilith. Luciferian Witchcraft is meant to compliment the foundations of
Austin Spare, Aleister Crowley and Anton Szandor Lavey, for without
their imputs and creative genius where would we be?
Do not simply pick this book and misguide yourself into only the
Darkness, yet by journey and the path of the Jagged Spine of Leviathan is
the Light of Lucifer discovered, the Angelick Path is hidden yet
reachable to the practitioners of this grimoire. This work lies beyond
good and evil, as it offers a path to the heartblood of God itself. Drink
deep.

Diabolus-
The Dragon within the
Triangle of Darkness
An exploration of the Adversary
within Magick

Introduction
The very intent and purpose of this essay is to bring to light the roots of the
Adversary in Magick from a historical and mythological standpoint. As a
practitioner of Magick from a Satanic and Luciferian viewpoint, many
often inquire on my sources and inspirations from which I form my sorcerous
work. It was because of this need for a crystallization of the form and
function of the praxis of sorcery that I began, to present a concise view
of the practice of Left Hand Path magical practice from a Luciferian
viewpoint.
The Dragon within the Triangle of Darkness is a reference made to the

evocation circle as the meeting place of the Daemon and Man, but also the
Luciferian rite of Azi Dahaka, the 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 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 are we able to firstly understand that his force, while averse is
indeed a necessary and 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.

Michael W. Ford
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 outside within practice. To make proper
reference;
"And by their devotion to witchcraft (yatuk-dinoih) he seduces mankind

into affection for himself and disaffection to Ohrmazd, so that they forsake the
religion of Ohrmazd, and practice that of Ahriman." - The Bundahishn, from
"On the Evil-doing of Ahriman and the Demons", Sacred Books of the East,
Oxford University Press, 1897
Here lies the very foundation and cipher of the averse magical practice of
Satanic and Luciferian Magick - it is 'other' and exists outside any other
religion, despite having inverse practices of traditional 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 Path' 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 initi ate 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 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 a nd order which arises
from it. To drink the venom of this cup is cursing and
11
blessing - be prepared to change and mutate into something greater; or seal

your fate to a mindless death.
I. Set - the Egyptian God of Darkness
"I am Set, the Father of the Gods. I shall never come to an end."
-The Book of the Dead
The Egyptian mythology of Gods and powerful deities is perhaps

History's most elaborate and evasive within the conception of their
opposing powers. The Egyptian God of Chaos and Storms, Set, called
also Sutekh, Set-heh or Seth-an was revered in the 31d Millennia B.C. and
forward, originally as a positive force of movement and foreign lands. It was
later on that Set became a form of the Opposer, with Red being a sacred
color and his minions being actual demons that tested or destroyed
others. Set was commonly perceived as a God of War, who taught some
Pharaohs the art of shooting the bow and arrow, etc. The Egyptian Book
of the Dead presents Set as the Lord of the Northern Sky, who is over
storms, cold weather and darkness. Set was p erhaps the most significant
Egyptian God in that he alone was the God of Mystery and the Unknown,
both the shadow and fire. As being a Patron of the Deserts, Seth was also
revered as a Deity over the Scorching Heat of the desert sands. This concept
continued on in the Persian Ahriman and the Islamic Shaitan, which shall
be discussed in further detail later on in this treatise.
"Verily, the Soul of Set, which is greater than all the gods, hath departed" -
From the Papyrus of Ani
Set was known as a God of unrest who continually fought with Horus, his
brother and was the antagonist and murderer of Osiris, a God of Stasis.
Set also protected Ra on his journeys through the Underworld, and was
able to master the chaotic force of Apep, a Serpent of Darkness. Set is known
in the Book of the Dead as having legions of devils, known as Seba as well
as Smaiu, who obey his commands. It seems also that there were a group
of rebels who were of Set and were defeated early on. Set is mentioned in the
Egyptian Book of the Dead as having the skin of a Bull. In the eleventh
section of the Tuat called "Reencierrtaptkhatu", Set is in the form of a
serpent and called "Set-heh" meaning "The Eternal Set".
"When Osiris came again, Typhon plotted with seventy-two comrades, and with
Aso, the queen of Ethiopia, to slay him"-The Egyptian Book of the Dead,
E.A. Wallis Budge
12
Michael W. Ford
Set is primarily regarded the same as the Greek Typhon, a serpent like
Daemon-God who is a Patron Spirit of Sorcery and Magick. Plutarch
explained that in Egyptian astronomy Seth or Typhon was connected to the
Solar World, while Osiris was associated with the Moon. The Sun was
considered very hostile as it dried up and made lands inhabitable, while the
Moon nourished and brought moisture. Plutarch writes the Seth means
"Compelling and Overmastering", being a powerful force of chaos and order.
Typhon was collectively later known and associated to the Earth's
shadow, which they bring into the lunar cycle and the eclipse. In such an
aspect, Seth is highly significant to the balance of chaos and order, as he
creates situations for both to occur.
Set and Horus indeed have a close connection as not only brothers but also
deific opposites. It is suggested by E.A. Wallis Budge that Horus means
something similar to "He who is above" and Set therefore "He who is below",
thus holding a significance to "As Above, So Below" and the Baphomet idol
long regarded as a form of hidden knowledge. Considering Set's name had
similar hieroglyphic connections to stone, it can be suggested further
that this god was a personification of the lands of death, stony land and
the desert wastes. Set's direction was also often consider South as well,
and his opposing side of the North. In later times, as previously mentioned,
Ahriman has been long associated with not only the North but also the
South, making reference to his powers over both scorching heat and cold.
The Head of Ramses II has been shown being dually crowned by both Set
and Horus - indicating Power and Knowledge. One reference of which
Set makes comment is in the crowning "I will give thee all life, and
strength and health", thus although considered often a Devil and a most
feared God, this power could be used in a positive aspect as well.
Set was also friendly to the Shades of the Dead as well, Set was said to
purify and Horus strengthen. The backbone of the dead was considered the
backbone of Set. Another title of Set is SMAI, the Egyptian name
associated with Set as the archfiend and devil.
It was as the Adversary becoming the mastering force over Apep, thus
slowly Apep became a form of Set and vise versa. The demonic beasts,
serpents and such located and dwelling deep in the waters were
considered of Set and therefore part of his essence. Similarly anything
with Red was often considered to be of Set, as Red was the color
commonly associated with Fire and Aggression.
Apep and his/its brood have been referred to as "Children of Rebellion"2 and
were opponents to the Sun God. While Set has been considered for being a
beneficial God, his darker side lays foundations of power and
2 Budge, E.A. Wallis, the Gods of the Egyptians Volume I

Luciferian Witchcraft — The Book of the Serpent
awe, from which lived on even beyond his name being denounced and
demonized. The names of the form of Set as Apep are indeed many, some of
which are Saatet-ta (Darkener of the Earth), Hau-hra (Backward Face), Tutu
(Doubly Evil One), Hemhemti (Devourer), all of which describe the Storm
Demon who is called also Kharebutu the Fourfold Fiend. In the gnosis of
Set who overcame the serpent for Apep to become a part of this being
presents a powerful gnosis for the aspiring sorcerer. One may refer to the
concept of Predatory Spiritualism, absorbing the prey and taking from it
the most valid or a subjective aspect of its being. Thus by Set killing
Apep, essentially this serpent becomes an aspect of Set itself; albeit a
mastered aspect to be used when Set chooses.
Apep also bore the name of Rerek, a monster serpent form of Set who had
many helpers being serpents, noxious creatures and demons. It is further
connected that Thoth was said to have gotten the knife to slay the Bull
from Set, thus making parallel the name o f Smain with Set, being
violence.
One specific dwelling place of Set was called "Set Amentet3" which is the
"Mountain of the Underworld", which is a cemetery in the desert on the
west banks of the Nile.
Set is also closely connected with a former Death-God called Seker, who
was later merged with Osiris and became something rather different in
nature. In the Tuat, Seker resided within a kingdom called Ra-Stau, from
which he sat upon a Throne in Majesty, ha ving numerous legions of
winged serpents, devils called Seba and other monsters which devoured
various shades of the dead who were sent there. It is written in the Book of
the Dead that Seker's Throne is pyramidal in form, filled with
darkness. He appears commonly in the Tuat as a mummified man but has
a hawk's head and a pair of wings, which come forth from the back of a two
headed serpent. The symbolism of the Hawk and the Twin Serpents are
later presented in the Persian descriptions of the Adversary, firstly a symbol
of Ahriman was a Hawk attacking a sparrow and the Twin Serpents
appearing from an Ahrimanic Kiss on the Shoulders of the King Zohak, who
later became Azi Dahaka, the Storm Demon. While these similarities
cannot be assumed to be directly related, they are by all instances
interesting.
The constellation of the Bull or Bull's Thigh is related to Set. Often called
"Bull of double brilliance", this is perhaps the brightest constellation
around the North celestial pole otherwise known as the Great Bear or
Little Dipper. The mummified hawk that is called the "Lord of the South" is
connected with Set in this aspect. This is the Seker God who early on
Compare with the Persian Arezura, the Mountain in the North from which 'hell' is commonly located.

Michael W. Ford
was considered close to Set before his transformation in accordance with

Osiris. The home of Set is Khepesh, the constellation.
Set was considered the eighth child of the Gods of Annu, and was of
Nuit. As the God of Darkness and Storms he was alone the one who
could withstand the stare of the serpent Apep, thus controlling the storm
demon and later it becoming a part of Sethan himself. Set as being not
only the Lord of the South, he later was associated with the North,
becoming the Lord of the Northern Sky in the Egyptian Book of the Dead.
His primary associations were hostility, war and storms. Thus Set may be
viewed as a Deific Force of Motion and opposition. Eight is recent years
has been a number significant to Chaos, being the 8 - pointed chaos star
and the Algol sigil, the Sabbatic Star etc.
"The combat which took place on the day when Horus fought with Seth,
during which Seth threw filth in the face of Horus, and Horus crushed the
genitals of Seth ...... This storm was the raging of Ra at the thunder-cloud
which [Seth] sent forth against the Right Eye of Ra (the Sun). Thoth
removed the thunder-cloud from the Eye of Ra, and brought back the Eye
living, healthy, sound, and with no defect in it to its owner." - From the
Papyrus of Ani
Here we see that Set was a sorcerer god, throwing 'filth' and then
thunder clouds, he controlled the elements of earth and the air. Set
although being injured, arose in might again after the battle, and later
reached into obscurity to appear again in other cults outside of Egypt
under different names, all the while possessing the essence of which he
created - the adversary.
"Set opened the paths of the Two Eyes (the Sun and the Moon)"- From the
Papyrus of Ani
The formula mentioned in the Book of the Dead refers to a magical

formula which held associations to Set's hostility against Horus, but also
their connection therein. Within the Luciferian Witch Cults Set
represents the Magician which beheld and brought forth the possibilities
within, by the unknown and darkened places does he grow strong and
reside.
The opposing God of Horus - Set are early manifestations of the

adversary; that is to say Horus represents Day or the purity of fire, while Set
represents night and strengthening the self, and also the opposite which
Set purifies and Horus strengthens.
15
Set is also considered in the Egyptian Book of the Dead, to be the

greatest of all the gods, as it is Sethan who has mastered the dragon of
chaos Apep and it now serves him and became part of his essence.
Sethan as he is often called is considered the most ancient yet distinctly

clear form of the Opposer and Adversary. Charles Pace (born 1920 date of
death currently unknown), the obscure Luciferian called himself a
Satanist or a Setanist, and was a Priest o f Set and Anubis in a well
known Witchcraft Coven in London under Gerald Gardner, a former
student of Aleister Crowley. Charles Pace was known as Hamar'at and was
a mortician by trade. His primary expression was art in which he painted
mostly Egyptian styled images, as can been seen in the rare manuscript
"The Book of Tahuti"4, in which Pace presents a powerful alternate study
and design of the tarot. Charles Pace painted murals in Boleskine House,
Crowley's former residence where the Abramelin Workings were
conducted and the Goetia was edited. In the late 60-'s. Anton LaVey, the
founder of the Church of Satan was a long correspondent with Pace,
who both shared similar ideas in certain areas.
It is suggested by Charles Pace in "The Book of Tahuti"5 that Anubis was the
bastard son of Sethan and Aset (Isis). It is obvious that Pace
considered himself a `messanger' rather than an author of any system. This
is noted by his attribution of Hamar'at (magical name) as associated with the
Page card in the Tarot. Set's son Anpu (Anubis) in the system arranged by
Pace presents him as a Magician and the Opener of the Ways. Pace
also wrote in "Necrominion" a description of a so -called elaborate High
Sex Magick ritual known as Ankh Ka. Judging from the Triple Hermetic
Circle of Hamar'at the focus was spiraling energy through the self with
the forces of the Godforms, thus their Masks signify deific power assumed by
him or her who wore the mask.
Austin Osman Spares was an artist who captured images of Set in sigillic
forms in various publications. Spare illustrated and practiced a form of
sorcery which holds a strong foundation to modern Luciferian practice,
specifically with the Witches Sabbat and other avenues of magical
practice.
"Existing as Dual, they are identical in desire, by their duality there is no

control, for will and belief are ever at variance, and each would shape the

other to its ends, in the issue neither winds as the joy is a covert of sorrow.
Let him unite them" -The Book of Pleasure, Austin Osman Spare
In Spare's grimoire, The Book of Pleasure, he describes an almost

instinctual Luciferian concept of obtaining desired results through the fall
into darkness (i.e Death Posture). The Death Posture is a formula in which
the sorcerer enters a state of exhaustion and essentially blacks out and
forgets the meaning of his rite. By doing this, he falls into
unconsciousness or delirium from which the concept of "I" does not exist.
This is the Sethian test; from challenging the essence of yourself does
your ability to become something better manifest into something greater.
Observe the illustration by Aos entitled "The Death Posture", here the
skull masked individual ascends from the sigil itself, on the very left
hailed by Set who stands upon the Alpha and Omega, called also AZOTH and
AZOTHOZ7, a dualistic sigillic formula of the Adversary. Here Set is the
Lord of Sorcery, by his nature of opposition does the self grow
stronger through the rebellion of stasis and the fall into darkness - the
face becomes a skull through Self-Love. Modern Sorcery and Magick is very
much driven by the Gnosis of Set, while hidde n, one who has the eyes to
recognize it obtains the Luciferian and Sethian potential.
The Witch Cult in the 60's was a growing scene of exploring Hermetic
occultists who have not yet thrown the drape of dullness which Wicca later
became. Charles Pace wrote to Anton LaVey in 1974 about Gardner and
Wicca, mentioning that Wiccan is a Saxon word which means
"Enlightened ones" and not "Wise Ones", referring to those who were
enlightened from Paganism to Christianity. Pace suggested that he "gave" the
word Wicca along with his associates to Gardner, apparently as a joke.
Gerald Gardner did not get the joke. Obviously, Charles Pace was meaning
that light heartened as he was a High Priest in a Coven under the Wiccan
and Gardner concepts, even though he had a nasty falling out when them
in the mid 70's. In "Necrominion, the Book of Shades" it is reportable that
his teachings of the Sethanic Cult of Masks were focused on self-
transformation and Luciferian concepts.
Alexander Sanders, an associate of Charles Pace, made mythological

reference to Set and Black Witchcraft in his lecture "The Magick Circle of the
Wicca" -
"Truth is the monster of intellect, that which lies deep in the darker side of the
subconscious, the knowledge of when man crawled on his stomach through
the abysmal depths of a primeval swamp.." - The Alex Sander Lectures
7
Azothoz, a Grimoire of the Adversary by Michael W. Ford, Succubus Publishing
17
In this essay, Sanders recognizes the significance of Black Witchcraft and

how it develops the self - save for the dangers of self-destruction.
"Behold me, mortal, for I am thy God, the true image of thyself, and the very
essence of life, yet within me lieth a magnitude greater than you can ever
behold without. For I am both macrocosm and microcosm; only your petty
vanity could decree otherwise. Worship me, and I shall give you the stars.
Reject me, and I shall give the depths of the Abyss, for I lie within your own
being" - From the Book of Hermes from the Alex Sanders lectures
In the Manuscript of "The Book of Tahuti" by Charles Pace, he writes that

Hermes was Anubis who is Death - Hermanubis or Heru-em-Anpu, who is
the Son of Set. It is said that Anubis is very similar to the Grecian
Hecate, as they are deific forces over both the Celestial and Infernal
realms and like dogs, were able to see in the night.
As Alexander Sanders wrote, the Inverted Triangle was the symbol of the
Left Hand Path-
"After the Great Flood, the ancient Egyptians used these triangles to
represent a Triad of Deities. The people of Neph-Kam, the Black Lands of
Lower Egypt used the Triangle of Darkness, led by Sethan and supported by
Anubis and Sekhmet." - Alex Sanders Lectures
Magick and Sorcery within Egyptian cults survived long beyon d the
death of that culture. Consider the Graeco -Roman period, when wax
figures were implemented as focus points for various magical
ceremonies. Many used wax figures as performing love spells, but were
also used in cursing as well. As Set was the most powerful of the Gods and
equally a God of Magick and Infernal Sorcery, he is a force which
strengthens by the desire of force. There is an example of a spell which
implements infernal spirits and wax figures to obtain the love of a
woman8 and was done through incantations of the infernal spirits. As
witchcraft survived in medieval times it was said that through the
"Divell" the witches were able to "effectuate by the power of their
master"9.
"I invoke thee who art in the void air, terrible, invisible, almighty God of
Gods, dealing destruction and making desolate, 0 thou that Hatest...I
invoke thee, Typhon-Set, I perform the ceremonies of divination, for I
invoke thee by the powerful name in which thou canst not refuse to hear: Io

As Set was considered to be friendly unto the Shades of the Dead, there is
perhaps a closer connection between him and his illegitimate son Anpu
(Anubis) than what can be commonly realized. The belief in the spirits of
the dead and the survival of the psyche after physical death was a
foundation of the Magic of ancient Egypt. In accordance with the lore, Man
consisted of a physical body, a double, a shadow, a soul, a heart etc. The
Khu itself was the spirit of the man but the Ka was considered to be
the spiritual body which took nourishment from the offerings at the
funeral ceremonies. The dead and such were honored among the
Egyptians, who regularly brought food and drinks to appease the Khu into
staying in its tomb.
Aleister Crowley took a strong step in his presentation and revival of

Magick concerning Set. Crowley wrote in "The Book of Thoth" that
Saturn is indeed Set, the Lord of the Egyptian Deserts, darkness and
high places. Crowley makes similar connections between Shaitan and
Satan, all being forms of Set. Incidentally, The Master Therion draws
connections between Shabbathai, the "Sphere of Saturn" being the
Witches Sabbati°. Here we find the manifestation of the Adversary in a
universal and initiatory role.
The modern magician and sorcerer must be willing to focus on the

beneficial and useful aspects of Sethian Magick within a 'now' type of
context, in other words utilize the Will to invigorate and empower the
rituals of Sethan, which by you Set is made great within.
II. Ahriman - the Persian Devil and the Whore of

Darkness
"Pondering on the end, Zurvan delivered to Ahriman an implement

(fashioned) from the very substance of darkness, mingled with the power of
Zurvan, as it were a treaty, resembling coal, black and ashen. And as he
handed to him he said: "By means of these weapons, Az
(Concupiscence) will devour that which is thine, and she herself shall
starve, if at the end of nine thousand years thou hast not accomplished
that which thou didst threaten - to demolish the pact, to demolish time."
-From the Zatsparam, from The Dawn and Twilight of Zoroastrianism
R.C. Zaehner
I° The Book of Thoth, Aleister Crowley
19
Ahriman is within the ancient Persian lands and lore the devil incarnate.
Known also as Arimanius and Angra Mainyu, this sorcerous daemon was
suggested by texts associated with Zurvan to be the first born of the God
Zurvan, who is infinite time and space. His brother, Ahura Mazda is the
Christ like figure or opposite God who fought against Ahriman for control of
the world; it is this very balance which is kept in continual motion by the
Daeva - Lord of Darkness. The word Daeva is actually Demon,
announcing a path and spiritual aversion to the principles the
Zoroastrians held in honor. Some myths mention that Ahriman first saw the
light across the void and so lusted for it, thus igniting the great wars
between his children - the Daevas (demons) and Druj (the word being
associated with lie, also Dragon). Ahriman was initially defeated and cast
down into the darkness of the void, unconscious for 3,000 years.
The first demons said to be created by Ahriman were Mitokht ( 'falsehood ')
and Akoman (èvil mind' ). Shortly after Ahriman then created
(according to the Bundahishn) Andar, Savar, Nakahed, Tairev and Zairik.
Many of the demons are featured in the Yatuk Dinoih, and formulas for
creation and evocation are given.
Ahriman created or had fallen with Seven Archdemons who served his
will. They were in a prototypical way, the Dragon of Seven Heads. These
Daevas were listed as the following:
Aeshma, Akoman, Nanghaithya, Tawrich, Savar, Andar and Zarich.
The Daevas were authored or created by Ahriman as in suggestion of the

Zurvan myth. These are so-called evil spirits who chose the intellect and
individual Will as opposed to servitude and conformity. Aeshma is the
original form of Asmodeus, a Daeva of Ahriman. This demon is known as the
One of the "Wounding Spear" and was a patron of war and strife.
Asmodeus along with Savar, who is called the "Leader of Devs", both are the
controllers under Ahriman of the Dregvants, who are known as `storm
fiends'. Here we once again find reference to the Adversary through
sorcerous will controlling storms and the more unfriendly aspects of
nature. Andar according to Luciferian lore is a demon of the Black Flame,
or isolate consciousness. Zairich is a poisoning or testing demon, all of
which are featured with invocations in the Paitisha and Yatuk Dinoih.
Herein beyond the Zoroastrian religion, acting outside of any connections
with it, the sorcerer may choose this gnosis or current of the adversary - in
that he or she may seek the dangerous elements to strengthen their own
Will and separate themselves from those around them. In this act of
Antinomian rebellion, the sorcerer becomes a Daeva or Druj.
The Daeva known as Akoman or Aka Manah is the "Evil Mind", a

personified demon of intellect which conspires against the Vohu Manah

or "Good Mind". Herein presents a cipher to the reader; that they very
essence of the so-called Satanic or Luciferian path known also as the Left
Hand Path is brought to the forefront - to the simple description of what one
would advance themselves on this path for.
R.C. Zaehner presented an interesting study of the words Menok and

Geteh in The Dawn and Twilight of the Zoroastrians which shed light on the
nature of Ahriman and that very averse path. The pahalavi terms for
`material' and 'spiritual' are indeed Menok and Geteh. It is suggested by
Zaehner that they are from the Avestan words mainyu and geathya,
mainyu meaning our own Mind and Gaethya meaning 'to live' - thus
from the latin roots as mens and mind. The spiritual or mind cannot be
viable to any certainty in the physical realm beyond its Will to shape its
world around it, therefore the Mind contains both elements of Darkness and
Light. Ahriman himself was born of Light but yet chose darkness.
In the Zurvanite myth Ahriman first perceived his own being and chose to
exit the womb before his brother, who was born of light. Ahriman was called
dark and stinking by his father Zurvan, who by casting aside his first born,
allowed Ahriman to go forth from the heavenly realm to choose his own
devices within the physical and spiritual world. Ahriman has free Will to
choose his own path, to become in both planes of existence based on that
desire. The writer Eznik" presented a Zoroastrian statement of
Ahriman-
"It is not the case that I am unable to do anything good myself but that I do
not wish it; and to make this thing certain, I have produced the
Peacock."
Offerings to Ahriman (Arimanius) were made by Magi who sought to

make beneficial sacrifices to darkness. According to Plutarch12 magicians
would ground up in a mortar a rare herb called Omomi while invoking
Hades and Darkness, the very essence of the Adversary. They would then mix
the blood of a wolf with the ground up herb and toss it in an area where
the sun did not reach. This was conducted as a means of appeasing
darkness, as report ably the Magi would also perform white light rituals
to Ohrmazd as well. A modern form of practice of `summoning'
darkness is practiced by certain Luciferian Covens in the United States,
instead of wolf blood various herbs and apple cider is used in replacement,
following along the same form of sacrifice by an offering into an area where
the suns' rays never touch.

"The Scythians in the plains of Northern Asia, the most dangerous

neighbors of Persia, worshipped their highest deity under the symbol of a
serpent, and it was natural that the snake Afrasidb, the god of the enemy,
became identified with the archfiend Ahriman." - The History of the Devil by
Dr. Paul Carus
Ahriman is considered a voice of chaos, an ordered abyss-cloaked demon god

which is both angelic (pre fall) and demonic (post fall), he holds all the
attributes of the sorcerous Great Work. The forms of Ahriman
change, his draconian essence still remains. Here it is further
understood that Ahriman is a name for the very force which brings u s birth
and death, within this very initiatory current is the means of
immortality, via the expanded and crystallized mind.
"And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the
dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false
prophet. For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, which go forth
unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle
of that great day of God Almighty." - Revelation 16:13-14
Ahriman appeared in the Zoroastrian legends in numerous forms. His

astral body was considered that of a frog, toad, or crab, often a lizard or
serpent as well. The legend of Zohak the King proves of significant
interest concerning Magical transformation, Zohak was later known as Azi
Dahaka, the Demon of Three Faces. Zohak was said to have
descended from a king called Mardas and Tazak, who dwelled originally in
Tazikan or Arabia. It was according to lore that Zohak lived as a king for a
period of time of 1,000 years. As written in the Denkard-
"This, too, is declared in the good religion that the source of demons
(Ahriman) had arrayed with deceits Zohak, the descendant of Taj, the
diminisher of creations; hence the laws of Zohak deteriorated his own
nature, worked for the immoral and blemished (Ahriman), and caused
destruction by Tyranny and apostasy, so that the habits of men were
corrupted, the world distressed, and there was increase of morality among
the creatures. "-The Denkard 13
It is suggested also by the Arabs that this king's name was Zohak, while the
Mogs suggested that he was Bivarasp, whom of which existed in the time of
Noah, was most feared for his murdering of many kings. Zohak was the son
of Vadhak, who was the first adulterer. While being called a "wicked
Afrasiab", Zohak was a Sikandar who was made immortal by Ahriman
through a pact. Ahriman appeared in the Legend of Zohak14

first visited Zohak, the son of King Mirtas, disguised as a Noble visiting.
His words were empowering, as one who sought to become something
other-
"If thou wilt listen to me, and enter into a covenant, I will raise thy head
above the Sun"
Thus the prince listened to Ahriman. He later took the Throne and
became king. Ahriman taught him the arts of magic and Zohak slowly
became what the just called a tyrant king. It was soon after that Ahriman
appeared to the King as a youth who was a cook. He was employed to
prepare dishes for the King, and instead of herbs and various foods he
prepared him the flesh of animals, which made the King strong and as
fierce as a Lion.
The king had the youth brought before him and asked one favor that he
wished. The youth requested that he may kiss the king's shoulders. He
agreed and then the youth kissed both shoulders. When he had done so the
earth below opened up and swallowed the cook. Two black and
venomous serpents arose from the wounds and slowly became one with
Zohak - even when the serpents were cut the later came forth again.
Ahriman came unto Zohak disguised as a learned elder and suggested that
they feed the brains of men to the serpents. Zohak was also
considered an early mythological king who had first glorified Witchcraft to
the people, and suggested the religion he wrote for the Hebrews. Azhi
Dahaka, as he became, was a feared demonic sorcerer, one whose pact
with the devil was said to have lengthened his life and transformed him
into a immortal Daeva or Demon, even later mythological reference that
dragons and other serpents rise from his body. This can be connected by the
libation vase which was of Gudea, dated from 2350 B.C. which was found
at Telloh. This vase contains an image of two snakes entwined around a
staff, representing magical power.
"And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the
feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave
him his power, and his seat, and great authority." (Revelation 13:2)
Slowly Zohak became a demon, a Dragon King whose companions were the
Druj and other demons of Ahriman. In later lore Zohak became the Storm
Fiend, Azi Dahaka, who is Ahriman's most powerful Daeva. The initiatory
focus and lore of Zohak is presented in the Paitisha15 as a force to be
invoked and controlled within - the transformation mirrored through
the ritualistic focus of the serpent within the mind and body. Essentially
in Zoroastrian lore, Zohak or Azi Dahaka is the second in command of
Ahriman's children, he is for a lack of a better term
15 The Book of the Serpent, Draconian and Persian Sorcery by Michael W. Ford, Succubus Publishing.
23
considered a prototype for an Antichrist in that he expands the opposite

gnosis against Zoroaster.
"The Jewish scriptures were first composed by him (I.e. Zohak), and
deposited in the fortress of Jerusalem. And through Zohak men adhered unto
the Jewish high-priest Abraham, and through Abraham they adhered unto
Moses, whom the Jews accepted as their prophet and messengers of faith,
and unto whom they ascribe the salvation of sins committed, and
regarded his acquirements as being necessary for the final propagation of
their faith. Thus Zohak cherished demoniac deceptions to harm his
people." The Denkard
Here we read that Zohak, during his long life span, was considered the
one who propagated early Jewish scriptures as a means of satanic
influence among his people. No doubt many of the Arabs and surviving
Zoroastrians considered the Jewish faith to be a joke propagated by
Ahriman. There were "ten precepts" of the priest Zohak who was
considered a part of the Hebrew religion, while the actual intent of these so-
called precepts of Zohak are not acknowledged, the Zoroastrians
considered him very dangerous even after his long 1,000 year reign. The ten
precepts suggest that Zohak called their God an injurer of the
universe, recommended Daeva worship and the use of Idols in ritual
practice, that people should be selfish and to sacrifice before shrines.
The reference to Zohak's physical death, before the full transformation into
Azi Dahaka (Fiendish Snake)-
"Fairdoon killed the malignant and sinful Zohak of three faces (i.e. liar), of
three heads (i.e. violent and obstinate), of six eyes (i.e. greedy) of
thousands of evil designs, possessed of the great evil powers of the Dev and
the Druj." - Denkard
Another figure in Zoroastrian infamy is the sorcerer Ahktya or Akht. The

word Akht itself means "filth", and the word Akha which means "evil"
and "bad". The other name which was connected with Akhtya was
"Kabed-us-Spae" and "Akht-Jadu". This obscure figure was said to be a
powerful sorcerer who was a manifestation of the power of the Daevas, he
could astrally project into Hell and communicate with Ahriman, and was
considered a Nomadic demon.
"It is owing to the passions of wolves and Khrafastras that men are like
Devs; and Hesham, the invisible power of the perverted path, prevailing in
them, they become the source of darkness unconnected with light, of evil
intelligence unconnected with wisdom, and of evil unmixed with good"
Denkard Book 3
Akhtya was said in the Denkard to have enunciated ten specific points
24
Michael W. Ford
on the practice of the Yatuk Dinoih or witchcraft. To be mentioned in the

Denkard as Enunciating admonitions meant that he had presented a
systematic methodology of practice concerning their aspects of Sorcerous
practice, considered by the Zoroastrians as evil or satanic. It seems clear just
as Zohak that Akht-Jadu operated outside the religious structure of
Zoroastrianism, thus their ideals of magical practice were not specifically
evil or wrong. They could also lay in the idea of predilection based on
their methods of self-transformation through their own religious and
socio-daemonic structures of becoming. To observe the view the
Zoroastrians had concerning Akht, let us look at the context of which it was
written-
"One, against the monition of the Holy Zartosht, that no injury should be
inflicted by anybody on any person, - the dark-conscienced (black-
hearted), sorcerous and vicious Akht, on account of his sorcerous practices
and his enmity towards men, proclaimed that no good should be done to any
person, but that every person should be rendered capable of doing evil (to
others)"16
Here we are able to discover the antinomian nature of Akht that this
individual did not seek to align his psyche with the Order perceived
through the religious doctrine of Zoroastrians, he found comfort and
power within a perhaps darker path. It could not be conceivable that
Akht suggest no good should be done to men, as this would almost
certify an extreme from which few would be able to live in accordance to.
"The evil-hearted, vicious sorcerer Akht proclaimed enmity to the divine

beings, affection to the demons, the abandonment of the adoration of the
divine beings, and the practice of every maimer of demon-worship." -
Denkard
Here is presented with the essence of what Akhtya practiced and

suggested - that he despised the doctrine of that path, rather than being the
inverse by nature of Zoroastrianism. By this it can be suggested that
Akhtya and the Yatus practiced with some areas of inverse Zoroastrian
ritual, they as a whole were operating within their own understood
doctrines of magical practice. This can be seen in the later Yezidis, who
operated according to their own Antinomian initiatory structure.
The religion of evil according to old faith is often hidden, operating within
social structures while seeking their own methods of self-knowledge and
wisdom. Rather than allowing their conscious to be aligned with the
selfless thinking of the Right Hand Path, or monotheistic duty, the Yatus
16 Denkard the Acts of Religion, Book 3 103-110.
25
through their own process of antinomian self-liberation chose alternative

archetypes to cultivate and control the dark forces of the subconscious.
Ahriman, who is also called by the Avestan word Ganamino, is the
religion of sorcery, of separating the self from the natural order of
Spenamino, which is Spenta Mainyu.
"The evil minded Ganamino is the source of the evil intellect the
evilminded Ganamino hopes to influence the creation of God Such a man
exercises a miserable control over his desires owing to his evil intellect and the
force of the evil invisible power in him he develops and perfects himself in sin."
- Denkard
This presents a foundation of the self which is indeed different from the
path of the Good Mind, or the Mind of Stasis. Ganamino is essentially
motion; movement through Will, the Will of God was misunderstood by
Right Hand Path religions as merely being good, loving, light and kind.
Rather the God they so worshipped in nature -outside of themselves- is that
which indeed causes destruction and rebirth, thus a balanced aspect
of both dark and light.
"The religion of priests, who guided by their evil intellect devoid of wisdom, act
among men as the servents of God, is only in appearance the wise
religion of God. This through the evil intellect depopulates the world, ruins,
and destroys mankind. And such a prie st is as it were the agent of the
evil-minded Ahriman to do his work among men and harms mankind and the
world. Such a religion, owing to the evil intellect, renders mankind
miserable and makes them suffer in pain in both the worlds." - Denkard
Here we see that the Left Hand Path or that of Akoman the Evil Mind
represents a path of power from which the self is beholden of. That the
religion of sorcery is indeed painful, it is by this strife and stimulation
within the self that makes us strong and able to work our will, to
discover our own True Will (The AKOMAN or Holy Guardian Angel) and to
manifest our desires. It is difficult and often troublesome, however the
beauty and strength which arises in the mind and flesh is reward within
itself. Please observe the original strife of Ahriman or Satan - he suffered and
fell into the darkness, by this pain he transformed and made the world
around him bend to his will. Rather than the religion of destroying the mind
and feeding it to the God of the Right Hand Path, the path of Satan or
Lucifer/Ahriman gives back to the self; and all responsibility falls in the
initiates lap; they are in control of their own destiny - be it success or
failure, rather than bending knee and trusting in an exterior force. If you
cannot trust and be strong within yourself first, how could one ever hope to
have the stability to be a decent individual with honor?
26
Michael W. Ford
Ahriman indeed opens the path towards the subconscious, which can be
called Asare-Tariki, Darkness and the powers of the Left. As religious
aggressors attest that such a religion of sorcery depopulates, history
merely offers a balanced statistic of facts - more murders and
destruction were caused by monotheistic religions of "God" and "Christ"
than any so - called Satanic beliefs. If you consider the laws of nature, the
law of the strong depopulation, as with some overgrowth of animals, is
merely a welcoming to the Natural Order of Selection - which death comes
to the weak.
Akhtya, who is a propagator of some antinomian religious aspects of

Ahriman, appears in another tale in a Pahlavi tale called Yavisht I
Friyan'7. In this tale Akht, who is a powerful sorcerer, travels to a city of
Enigma-expounders with an army of seven myriads. He shouted to all that
he would make that city a beaten track for Elephants, and would test and
destroy the righteous who claims to have superior knowledge. By the use
of the magical formula called a Staota, which is a form of sound
vibrations used in the form of words, which held a "spring", he would tear
apart those who could not answer or survive the Staota. None could
withstand Akht, save for a young religious man called Yavisht i Friyan.
The youth was invited to the residence of Akht, but discovering that Akht
had dead matter (bones, rot hair or nails) under his pillows and carpets,
he could not enter until Akht had them removed. As the legend moves
forward Yavisht withstood each Staota and then used the Staota to attack
Akht. He took time to "through sorcery, rushed into hell" and communicated
with Ahriman who told him to accept his fate as it were. Akht was said to
have been defeated by Yavisht and destroyed in physical form.
The Manwicrohtaeean myths of creation were rich in their lore of the

underworld. According to Mary Boyce18 who wrote on the Manichaean
myths, Hell was divided into five kingdoms. In details on the underworld
she also wrote-
"Hell is divided into five kingdoms, each of the substance of one of the five
dark elements. Thse are sometimes given the same names as the
corresponding light elements (i.e. Standing air also for Dark Air) or
sometimes the exact opposite (i.e. Darkness for Light) ......... the Five infernal
kingdoms are inhabited by five kinds of devils, two-legged, four-legged,
winged, swimmings and crawling. Each kind is divided into two sexes, and
lives in perpetual lust and strife. The Devil, or Prince of Darkness, king

27
Luaferian Witchcraft - The Book of the Serpent
over all, combines in himself features of all five species of devil, namely
demon, lion, eagle fish and dragon."
Here we find a significant and organizational pattern of demon lore, with as

much attention on the adversary as with the God of Light. As Ahriman has
combined himself with each of the demons, he carries the attributes to
relate to different forms and techniques of being. He understands flight
and how such demons see in such a capacity, as a fish to
swimming and moving much differently and as a dragon, a serpent
which is both cunning and instinctually in tune with its surroundings. It
seems that the category of demon simply represents any combination of
animal or beast, similar to the plethora of demonic imagery from the
earliest times of man.
Manichaean belief, as it developed from the Dualistic religion of

Zoroastrianism, views the creation myth of mankind slightly different
from its Zoroastrian counterparts. In Manichaean concepts Adam was
engendered by Satan with the traits of desire, cupidity and those
concepts which religions always have difficulty with. Satan gave unto
Adam the elements of Light which he was said to have stolen, so that he
may embody that art in mankind. It was indeed Satan who fathered Cain
with Eve, in Luciferian lore as with Az or Lilith possessing Eve while in
sexual congress.
The most important figure which not only inspired Ahriman, but
empowered him was the whore Jeh or Az. In Manichaean religious lore, Az
is considered the Great Whore who played a very important role to her mate,
Ahriman. In Manichaean traditions Az was a spirit which made he home in
the caves and dark places of the earth, as well as Hell. Az was considered
to have taught demons and arch-fiends how to copulate and act in lewd
ways, later teaching the Fallen Angels how to excite themselves and
others sexually. Az used her sorceries to produce Dragon-children
and to then create other demons and daughters who were of her own
blood. Az was known to have devoured her children and
their children, then create more to later devour them as well.
"And he kissed Jeh upon the head, and the pollution which they call
menstruation became apparent in Jeh" - The Bundahishn, translated by
E. W. West
Az (also known as Jeh) as the demon of death, called Concupiscence, is

considered in many points to be the instinctual side of man. R.C.
Zaehner describes Az has having a three - fold nature, consisting of
eating, sexual desire and yearning for whatever she comes across by her
28
Michael W. Ford
senses. The nature of Az is also considered to be 'disorderly motion19'

which makes reference to counter clockwise movement, chaos and
antinomianism. Zaehner writes that-
"The demon Az is a Buddhist rather than a Zoroastrian idea; there is no

trace of it in the Avesta. In Buddhism, on the other hand, the root cause of the
chain of conditioned existence is avidya, 'ignorance, and its principle
manifestation is trshna, 'thirst', which means the desire for continued
existence."
Furthermore, Az represents the ideal and concept of self-deification

through a Willed existence, that the trshna concept is one of vampirism and
desire. Thus Az represents the Left Hand Path as a rite of passage of
becoming. Continued existence is essentially the survival of the psyche or
essential self; there is no union with the natural order that which can
eliminate the mind. The practitioner does not seek to join with it; rather he
or she seeks to remain separate from it in their own self -created
subjective world.
As with the Manichaeans, Az is the "Mother of All Demons", thus a

powerful hidden Light behind Ahriman. As the Devil's Bride she inspires
and equally commands her presence, manifests her Will and
accomplishes that which other demons could not. Ahriman was taken with
her.
Az within Zoroastrianism is not by any mentionable gender, but

Ahriman's assistant if you will is called in the Pahlavi books called Jeh,
which means roughly 'whore'. She would corrupt or rather awaken
mankind and womankind to debauchery and sexual pleasure.
Theodore bar Konai20 described an interesting tale of Ahriman and his

sway that he held with women-
"After Ohrmazd had given women to righteous men, they fled and went over
to Satan; and when Ohrmazd provided righteous men with peace and
happiness, Satan provided women too with happiness. As Satan had
allowed the women to ask for anything they wanted, Ohrmazd feared they
might ask to have intercourse with the righteous men and that these might
suffer damage thereby. Seeking to avoid this, he created the god Narseh (a
youth) of fifteen years of age. And he put him, naked as he was behind Satan
so that the women should see him, desire him and ask Satan for him. The
women lifted their hands up towards Satan and said: "Satan, our father, give
us the god Narseh as a gift."
19 This word can be related to Anticlockwise movement, or Widdershins.
20 See R.C. Zaehner, The Dawn and Twilight of Zoroastrianism New York, NY 1961
29
The original union of Az and Satan came from the Devil falling into a
deep slumber for three thousand years. Unconscious, Ahriman would not
awaken for any reason. Numerous demons and shadows tried to awake n
Ahriman by telling of their deeds, nothing would stir him to
consciousness. After three thousand years the Whore came unto
Ahriman and said to him-
"Arise 0 our Father, for in the battle to come I shall let loose so much
affliction on the Righteous Man and the toiling Bull that, because of my
deeds, they will not be fit to live. I shall take away their dignity, I shall
afflict the water, I shall afflict the earth, I shall afflict the fire, I shall afflict the
plants, I shall afflict all the creation which Ohrmazd has created."
Here we see that Az has knowledge and control over the elements and that
which the Natural Order observes as correct. She wishes to change it
according to Her will, to afflict is to darken its essence with much of the
Light she was endowed with early on.
Zaehner writes also the description of Ahriman's awakening, and his gift to
Az-
"And she related her evil deeds so minutely that the Destructive Spirit was
comforted, leapt up out of his swoon, and kissed the head of the Whore; and
that pollution called menstruation appeared also on the Whore. And the
Destructive Spirit cried out to the demon Whore: whatsoever thy desire, that do
thou ask, that I may give it thee."
Az appears unnamed in the "Book of Arda Viraf", a pre-Dante exploration

through the Zoroastrian hell. In the account of the record, very little is
given concerning hell except for the suffering and punishments of those
who have went against their religious doctrines. Az appears as the bad
actions of man, and it is said she is more filthy than any other creation of
Ahriman-
"Afterward, a stinking cold wind comes to meet him. So it seemed to that soul
as if it came forth from the northern quarter, from the quarter of
demons, a more stinking wind than which he had not perceived in the
world. And in that wind he saw his own religion and eeds as a profligate
woman, naked, decayed, gapping, bandy-legged, lean-hipped, and
unlimitedly spotted so that spot was joined to spot, like the most hideous,
noxious creature (kharafstar), most filthy and most stinking."
Az comes forth to this youth and tells hi m that she is his bad actions,
that she is made strong in vile and evil belief, that she grows more
unholy through him. This demoness mentions that she is settled in the
northern region of the demons, she is settled more north through him.

"The form of the evil spirit was a log-like lizard's (vazak) body, and he
appeared a young man of fifteen years to Jeh, and that brought the
thoughts of Jeh to him.
Afterwards, the evil spirit, with the confederate demons, went towards the
luminaries, and he saw the sky; and he led them up, fraught with
malicious intentions. 11. He stood upon one-third of the inside of the sky, and
he sprang, like a snake, out of the sky down to the earth." - The
Bundahishn, translated by E. W. West
A form which Ahriman took in that relation was a frog as well. This
draws an early connection to the powers of the Toad in a setting of
sorcery, as well as the sexual union with women as a force of inspiration,
desire and imagination.
"His astral body is that of the frog, the vicious crab. He neither thinks of,
nor speaks, nor works the weal of the creatures of Ohrmazd." - Greater
Bundahishn translated by Behramgore Tehmuras Anklesaria
Ahriman was made better by union with the demon Whore, who was in
effect his muse but also deeply a part of his being. It took her emergence to
bring him again to consciousness, to want to accomplish.
Dead matter also relates a powerful enigma in Zoroastrian religious lore.

From the Denkard, a specific section related to the dead and the demons
which inhabit the body of the Yatus, those who practice witchcraft in
accordance with Ahriman.
"Be it known that, the souls of worshippers of daevas and of deceitful

Ashmoghs, owing to their impure nature, although (located) in a living body,
are, according to the religion, (as if) possessing a dead body; and that body
with life is considered as (fit) for hell; hence there is a danger of their
pollution and bad qualities reaching Mazdayasnians through mutual
intercourse with them; therefore, (the Mazdayasnians) must remain aloof
from touching their living bodies, for their bodies are in all places like
decayed nasa."
It makes further sense that the religious masters of this faith considered the
worshippers of demons to be an abomination and that they sought infernal
power makes them polluted with Nasa, or the Druj-Nasa, which is a demon
who takes the form of a fly to enter the corpse and steal the spirit. This
demon is said to come forth from Azrezura, the Cold Mountain of the
North which leads to Hell.

III. The Adversary and the Bride of the Devil, Cain the
Son
The Hebrew Samael, Satan and Islamic Shaitan
"And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and
Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth,
and his angels were cast out with him." (Revelation 12:9)
The Spirit of Diabolus is one which remains timeless and extensive This
sorcerous Daemon has walked the earth since the dawn of mankind,
from desert to forest, in every culture and every age. Satan has long
represented the 'otherness' which is considered evil or dark, but yet few but
the daring refuse to explore this area of magical study.
Satan has origins in the Middle East as a Djinn which is made of Fire
instead of Light, from which the angels after were made from. Shaitan was
originally called Azazel or Azazyl, the First Angel which preached to the
other angels under the throne of God. Azazel, who later was called Iblis or
Shaitan, refused to bow before Man, noting that his nature of lowly
compared to his essence, which was of fire. Azazel was cast out from
heaven into the earth, along with the fallen angels.
"(the conception of) God-head must ever evolve it's own inertia for
transmutation to its very opposite - because it contains itt The idea of God
ever means the forgetfulness of supremacy and Godliness. So must be
supplanted by fear.. " The Book of Pleasure, Austin Osman Spare
Within the practice of Magic the lore of Iblis provides a powerful initiatory
model for the sorcerer. Essentially the initiate seeks to become like
Satan, by antinomian methods of separating the self from the n atural or
mundane world. One may seek to ask how this works, and why would you
want to do it? Luciferians do not consider Satan to be a completely
malefic spirit, rather a balanced force of both Dark and Light. Many
Luciferian rites involve the symbolism of Black21, Red22 White23 and
Green24 as being different points of the Adversary. It must be
understood that working with the deific power of Iblis or Shaitan is not a safe
route. It matters not if you are looking at the aforementioned force as an
actual spirit or as a symbol of the dark recesses of the mind. What must be
carefully adhered to is that which is unseen, that when the
21 Black is from the root FHM meaning hidden or secret, but also wisdom. The word abufihamat, or
Head/Father of Wisdom is the foundation of Baphomet.

imagination can adapt consciousness (through the subconscious) with

the image of Satan then the transformation begins. Once the initiate has
embraced the path, there is no turning back. One may fall from the path;
such is a kiss of death to the individual in question based on their own
potential and failure. The Left Hand Path as it is called can render a
person mad if they are not able to control their own desires and goals,
Iblis tests just as he was tested.
Satanic or Luciferian Magick is a dual or opposing system of

selfrealization. The first area is that of inverse magical practice, working
with repulsive and shunned imagery which takes the initiate into their
own self-invoked darkness. By exploring this 'world' as a subjective state,
the individual slowly transforms his or herself into a form of Iblis, thus
becoming like Lucifer. The shadow is the testing force from which you
may create and manifest what you desire, and be careful as so you shall
obtain that which you seek. The shadow is also the empowering essence of
your mind, it is the darkest recesses and atavistic desires which may be
explored and mastered.
Azazel (Azazil) is known within Muslim lore to have been the same as the
Angel of Death, who was most feared in tribal cultures. Various lore
describes Azazil worshipped God in the Seventh Hell for over one
thousand years, ascending until he reached the earth. Azazil arose
through the seven hells and upon reaching earth he then sat at the gates of
Heaven, tormenting Adam and Eve.
ThBundahishn relates an original tale of Azazel or Ahriman-
"The evil spirit, on account of backward knowledge, was not aware of the
existence of Ohrmazd; and, afterwards, he arose from the abyss, and
came in unto the light which he saw. 10. Desirous of destroying, and
because of his malicious nature, he rushed in to destroy that light of
Ohrmazd unassailed by fiends, and he saw its bravery and glory were
greater than his own; so he fled back to the gloomy darkness, and formed
many demons and fiends; and the creatures of the destroyer arose for
violence."- Chapter One, Bundahishn
Here we see a different view of Iblis from the thoughts of his adversary,
who would be the Zoroastrians. While the Zurvanites regarded Ahriman to
be an original dual aspect of Ohrmazd, in the Bundahishn Ahriman is
represented as a lesser demon, but a very significant one that equally
causes problems but strengthens those who are connected with him.
While they sought to condemn Ahriman and speak of his weakness, he was
important and powerful enough to haunt their very minds into
submission according to a written religious doctrine.
33
"Diabolus enim et alii d.mones a Deo quidem natures creati sunt boni, sed
ipsi per se facti sunt mali." ("the Devil and the other demons were created by
God good in their nature but they by themselves have made themselves evil.)"-
Fourth Lateran Council, from the Catholic Encyclopedia.
Here we see that Azazel and other angels possessed an original

ìndependence' of being, that is they recognized that they could have the
faculties of a higher state of being, they perceived themselves as separate
from their original maker or source of being. The bible further describes
Satan as how he had fallen, which presents a connection of the Vajra
Rune which Anton Szandor LaVey made a part of his personal sigil
within an inverted pentagram. The Vajra rune represents health, vitality
and strength.
"I saw Satan like lightning falling from heaven" - Luke 10:18
The Dragon itself is a symbol of the collective independence and

intelligence of Satan the Adversary, while his angelic nature granted him the
higher faculties of all the Angels of Heaven, Lucifer sought more and wished
to be more godlike. This was considered a great Sin and thus a War in
Heaven occurred.
"And there was a great battle in heaven, Michael and his angels fought
with the dragon, and the draghon fought his angels: they prevailed not,
neither was their place found any more in heaven. And that great Dragon
was cast out, that old serpent, who is called the devi l and Satan, who
seduceth the whole world; and he was cast unto the earth, and his angels
were thrown down with him." - Apocalypse 12: 7-9
This leaves a question of subjective and objective planes of existence. If

Satan had awoken his state of independence, to think 'differently' then
could Heaven truly be something which existed objectively, even within a
spiritual or aethyric sense? Could Heaven only be a subjective term as
would be Hell, while what is one to an i ndividual may be different to
another? Here we see the transformative state of Satan from Angel to
then Demon, thus he embodied both Light and Shadow within his own
essence; he was Dual Headed.
Peter Lamborn Wilson, in his essential article on the Middle Eastern

origins of Satan25 provides a powerful study of the foundation and
survival of perhaps the original idea of the Opposer. Wilson describes Adi ibn
Musafir who is also known as Shaykh Adi, who was originally from
Lebanon. The Shaykh traveled to Baghdad and studied along other well
known Sufis. Later on after 1100 A.D. Adi traveled to Lalish (Iraq) and
25 Iblis, the The Black Light — Satanism in Islam, published in Gnosis Magazine
34
Michael W. Ford
founded a religion based on Melek Tauus, or Malek Ta'us, the Peacock

Angel. The Yezidis as they were called were the descendants of Adi, and
were considered heretics and disbelievers by other fundamentalists in their
area.
The deity of worship, known as Iblis of Hallaj is the Peacock Angel,

known as Azazyl or Shaitan, the Adversary. In "The Black Book", a
doctrine considered written by Shaykh Adi, describes the foundation of
Azazel as the Black Light or hidden way of the path against all others-
"In the beginning God created the White Pearl out of His most precious
Essence; and He created a bird named Anfar. And He placed the pearl
upon its back, and dwelt thereon forty thousand years. On the first day,
Sunday, He created an angel named 'Azazil, which is Ta'us Melek ("the
Peacock Angel"), the chief of all." The Black Book
It is presented here that Ta'us Melek is the foundation of independent

energy, motion and progression. In no mentioning of the Black Book is
Satan considered to be a negative force, rather a misunderstood power
which can reside in each human being who can recognize what Azazel is.
"Then the Lord descended to the holy land and commanded Gabriel to take
earth from the four corners of the world: earth, air, fire and water. He made
it man, and endowed it with a soul by His power. Then He
commanded Gabriel to place Adam in Paradise, where he might eat of the
fruit of every green herb, only of wheat should he not eat. After a hundred
years Ta'us Melek said to God, "How shall Adam increase and multiply,
and where is his offspring?" God said to him, "Into thy hand have I
surrendered authority and administration". Then he came and said to
Adam, "Hast thou eaten of the wheat?" He answered, "No, for God hath
forbidden me so to do, and hath said, 'Thou shalt not eat of it'''. Melek
Ta'us said to him, "If you eat of it, all shall go better with thee". But, after he
had eaten, his belly swelled up, and Ta'us Melek drove him forth from
Paradise, and left him, and ascended into heaven. Then Adam suffered
from the distention of his belly, because it had no outlet. But God sent a
bird, which came and helped him, and made an outlet for it, and he was
relieved." - The Black Book
This section provides a powerful symbolism which stretches beyond the

predicament of constipation. While God created Mankind, he only held
limited facilities. Melek Ta'us came unto Adam and suggested that he eat of
the sacred fruit. This wisdom as he offered would open Adam's eyes to his
own Black Light, the gift of Iblis. It was Azazel who by offering
knowledge to Adam and Eve was by all accounts the Opposer, the
Adversary who by aversion and a different point of view opened the Mind
35
and soul to the Black Flame of Shaitan, that which is self -knowledge and
perception.
"Then He was wroth with the Pearl which he had created, wherefore he
cast it away: and from the crash of it were produced the mountains, and
from the clang of it the sand-hills, and from its smoke the heavens. Then
God ascended into heaven, and condensed the heavens, and fixed them
without supports, and enclosed the earth. Then He took the pen in His
hands, and began to write down the names of all his creatures. From His
essence and light He created six gods, whose creation was as one lighteth a
lamp from another lamp." - The Black Book
While the foundations of Iblis differ from culture to culture, there is a

specific correlation of the essence of Azazel, being Fire. While Melek Ta'us is
the "Chief Angel over All" he is considered to be created of a higher
intellect than the other angels. That by the essence of flame, of which
motion is always present, the Peacock Angel does not remain the same. It is
by this principle that he changes through us as we become something else.
The key to this is the Imagination itself. Peter Lamborn Wilson made
reference to a text by Aziz ad-Din Nasafi26 which referred to Satan or Iblis
as the Imagination. It is becau se of the imagination that he refused to
be prostrate before mankind, as Fire was superior to Clay. While it is first
considered a "sin" of pride, Satan acknowledged his true nature as flame
and could not bring himself to bow before a secondary creation - for it was
his father who created him, which no other he may submit to.
It is within the Kitab el -Jelwa that Ta'us Malek or Shaitan makes a

statement concerning the nature of his path and being. This is by far one of
the more hidden aspects which offer a clue as to the nature of the
consistency of Satan.
"Melek Ta'us existed before all creatures. He sent his servant into this
world to warn and separate his chosen people from error: first by oral
tradition, secondly by this by this book Jilwa, which is not permitted to
strangers to read or to look upon."-The Book of Divine Effulgence also
known as Kitab el-Jelwa
While this text refers to specifically 'his people' as Yezidi, in a modern

context one could choose to add initiatory value to the statement. That
Melek Ta'us existed before other creatures indicates the intellect and
knowledge of being, self-awareness and the Imagination to consider his own
role. The mentioning of not permitting strangers in looking upon the book
provides a central idea as to the nature of the path itself - it is
26 The Perfect Man, see The Black Light by Wilson, Gnosis Magazine

Michael W. Ford
separate, antinomian and isolate. That the path of Iblis is one of

inversion from the Natural Order of the Objective World around us, it
actually is a step 'away' from the concepts of blending in with the
spiritual normality of the herd. It is also to be noted that the Opposer or
Adversary is the imagination of the illuminated, Melek Ta'us and his
chosen are but those who recognize the Black Light within. That by
affirming this path, of antinomianism through the image of Shaitan or
Satan, the individual via Imagination becomes a child of Melek Ta'us.
"I was, and am now, and will continue unto eternity, ruling over all
creatures and ordering the affairs and deeds of those who are under my
sway. I am presently at hand to such as trust in me and call upon me in
time of need, neither is there any place void of me where I am not present."
- Kitab el-Jelwa
Therein is perhaps one of the most significant representations of Shaitan in

the form of the Inner Guide, Holy Guardian Angel or Daemon/Genius which
is attainable through Magick. That the imagination holds keys to
self-creation so does it hold the key to Conversation of the Holy Guardian
Angel, the Luciferian Spirit which guides and which is considered our
true self. It can be called a "True Self' or "Higher Self' as this is the
Daemonic aspect of the mind, the Gift of the Black Light as Iblis gave
humanity is inherent in our Higher Self, thus the imagination is a helper and
beneficial ability that humanity must choose to master. All actions and
deeds are manifested from an idea which emerges from the
imagination - inspiration guides and brings that which we desire
spiritually and physically. As Shaitan states that he "is presently at
hand" and "trust in me" and "call upon me in time of need" indicates the
very nature of the Holy Guardian Angel, you must recognize this force as a
part of yourself by the Opposing formula which is mirrored as Satan, a
symbol and force of rebellion. It is once you have gone forth through the
Gates of the Hidden27 that you begin to ascend into the psychological
state of Lucifer, the Adversary. The essence of Shaitan is Flame, and
continual motion. To understand this beyond any coherent or sinister
symbolism is the result of passing the test of appearance. The student of
Magick must be willing to trespass the Laws of Nature to discover the
identity of the soul, the very gift of Magick itself. Melek Ta'us thus
represents a metamorphic process of self-deification and self-overcoming. It
is not an endless ego posturing, rather a means of recognizing the idea of
self, the imagination to mutate it into something new and crystallize the
very core essence of Lucifer, that which is Black Light and Fire.
"I guide without a scripture; I point the way by unseen means unto my
friends and such as observe the precepts of my teaching, which is not
27 Called Hell by some.
37
grievous, and is adapted to the time and conditions. I punish such as

contravene my laws in other worlds. The children of this Adam know not
those things which are determined, wherefore they oft-times fall into error. The
beasts of the field, and of heaven, and the fish of the sea, all of them are in
my hand and under my control. The treasures and hoards buried in the heart
of the earth are known to me, and I cause one after another to inherit
them. I make manifest my signs and wonders to such as will receive
them and seek them from me in their due season." - Kitab el-Jelwa
Here one may consider the point of guiding without scripture, that
Shaitan as the imagination and Holy Guardian Angel or True Will, brings
knowledge without words but rather what Aleister Crowley called
"Energized Enthusiasm". The beasts of the field and the fish of the sea are
all manifestations and connected with - Shaitan. This is the inner
relation to Shaitan as the Black Man of the Sabbat, the very Ritual of
Magick Fire which either as the Light of the Luciferian Conclave or Holy
Rites of Noon28 to announce self discovery and to seek transformation into
a Satan-like individual. It is the Black Snake, a symbol of the Yezidis which
represents Hidden Wisdom. Black within Arabic terms, the root FHM of
course is Wisdom and Knowledge, thus Black has a dual meaning
which refers the very opposite of ignorance. The Black Snake is presented
earlier in the Zoroastrian descriptions of Zohak, who gained knowledge
and power from Ahriman, having kissed his shoulders, bestowed two
black serpents to emerge from him. These snakes intertwined with
his body and spirit until he became Azi Dahaka, a dragon - king who
was said to be the most powerful Daeva next to Ahriman. The Black
Snake continues to symbolize intelligence and independence from the
natural order, an antinomian symbol which survived in the cults of
Yezidism.
The Shaykh known as Ayn al-Qozat Hamadani was perhaps one of the
most rebellious figures of his time, champion to a higher intellect and
Satanism in a pure form of self-love and evolution to God itself,
Hamadani suggested an alternate path through Sufism which was
considered blasphemy to the fundamentalists of Islam.
Ayn al-Qozat wrote that the Black Light above the Throne is the Light of
Eblis, which he called the Dark Tresses of God, compared also to the
divine light of darkness. Al-Qozat suggested that Satan had a pride in
Love that he would not accept any but his creator. While in an initiatory
sense, the foundations of God may represent a self-possibility and non-
union with the natural order. By this separation and initial recognition of
difference can then man and woman seek to become something better,
28
Noon is considered in the Middle East to be the Time of Satan.

this is the very essence of Magick - energy in motion, change and

ascension.
"Samael was the greatest prince in heaven. The celestial animals and the
Seraphim had six wings each, but Samael had twelve. He took his cohorts
• and went down, and saw all the creatures whom the Holy One, blessed be
He, had created, and found among them none as astute and malicious as the
serpent. And the serpent's appearance was like that of a camel. And
Samael mounted him and rode him. And the Tora cried and shrieked and
said: "Samael, the world has just been created, is this the time to rebel
against God?" The serpent went and said to the woman: "Is it true that
you are commanded not to eat the fruit of this tree? ........ " Midrash: Pirqe R.
Eliezer. Ch. 13
It is written in the "Treatise on the Left Emanation" that Samael and

Lilith were born as one, a fire born dual headed angelic force which was too
individualistic to contain by its creator. The first prince and accusing demon
is Samael, called evil because he desires to mingle with the force of light
from which he is a part of. At their creation they both were separated,
Lilith going forth into the world of man and Samael going his own way with
his angels. It is suggested that Samael has an entourage of seventy
chancellors, or angels. However, in Watcher lore it is over 200 seraphs.
"In this tradition it is made clear that Samael and Lilith were born as one,
similar to the form of Adam and Eve who were also born as one, reflecting
what is above. This is the account of Lilith which was received by the
Sages in the Secret Knowledge of the Palaces. The Matron Lilith is the mate
of Samael. Both of them were born at the same hour in the image of Adam
and Eve, intertwined in each other. Asmodeus the great king of the demons
has as a mate the Lesser (younger) Lilith, daughter of the king whose name
is Qafsefoni. The name of his mate is Mehetabel daughter of Matred, and
their daughter is Lilith." -"Treatise on the Left Emanation" by
R. Isaac b. Jacob Ha-Kohen
The concept of Fire as being the central and primary force which Samael and
Lilith were made up of displays a very interesting connection. Here we see
that Lilith actually has different forms, but all are connected to the ancient
mother Lilith, who is also Az in earlier folklore. Lilith is able to change her
form and manipulate her essence, she grows strong from the draconian
essence within man and woman, their lusts, hungers and desires empower
her. Her essence is of the beasts of the wild, as a restless spirit, she
drew close with the wild beasts of the deserts and forests, that which is
far away from humanity. One specific description of her composition of
Fire, the same as her mate Samael, is read in the following-
39
"They found it stated in those Chapters that Samael, the great prince of
them all, grew exceedingly jealous of Asmodeus the king of the demons
because of this Lilith who is called Lilith the Maiden (the young). She is in the
form of a beautiful woman from her head to her waist. But from the waist
down she is burning fire--like mother like daughter. She is called
Mehetabel daughter of Matred, and the meaning is something immersed
(mabu tabal). The meaning here is that her intentions are never for the
good. She only seeks to incite wars and various demons of war and the war
between Daughter Lilith and Matron Lilith." -"Treatise on the Left
Emanation" by R. Isaac b. Jacob Ha-Kohen
The multiple spirits of Lilith are a part of what could be considered in

Luciferian Witchcraft Circles as the Triple Goddess, or Hecate - Lilith.
She is maiden, whore and hag and her number is three - just as the
points of the triangle. Lilith holds intensive wisdom of Magick and such
along with her mate, Samael, is her gift to those children who recognize and
identify with her nature. Asmodeus the great Demon King is a
powerful spirit who was first presented in Zoroastrian lore as Aeshma of the
Wounding Spear, a war and fiery daeva. The Hebrew Ashmedai is one who
gained a very high rank among the original angels, Asmodeus was
according to lore a Seraphim, one of the highest ranks of angels. It is
suggested in other Hebrew lore that Asmodeus was born from the
demoness Naamah and the Fallen Angel Shamdon. Asmodeus and
Samael were said to have had strife over one spirit of Lilith.
"This is the waning Moon, the moon of witchcraft and abominable deeds. She
is the poisoned darkness which is the condition for the rebirth of light"
- The Book of Thoth, Aleister Crowley
Here we are able to understand that Lilith has many f orms, yet her
nature is clear to those who work with her. Allow her entry into yourself,
and know the ecstasy of man and woman, Union with the Blood of the
Moon. Crowley refers to her as "uncleanliness and sorcery", the very
nature of Az who is the Mother of Luciferians. Crowley also saw divinity
within Az and Lilith, in the form of Babalon, the Whore which rides the 7
headed Dragon.
The children of Lilith are called Lilin or Lilim, being succubi who have no
hair on their head and their body and face are covered. They visit men in
their dreams and drain them of sexual fluids to create other demons.
Essentially, a magician who has worked in the Lilith - current (that of the
feminine within Luciferian Witchcraft) can summon and encircle a succubi
or incubi, however care should be practiced as these spirits can quickly
move from the position of servitor to master.

"Wildcats shall meet with hyenas, goat-demons shall call to each other;
there too Lilith shall repose and find a place to rest. There shall the owl
nest and lay and hatch and brood in its shadow." - Isaiah 34:14
The nature of Samael and Lilith is to seek copulation, separate and

return again. They are guided by Leviathan, called also the Blinddragon
who by his essence, cause their sexual union. In Luciferian Witchcraft
circles Leviathan holds the key to controlled sexual magick and the
possibilities therein. Leviathan essentially is the encircler, the
possibilities of the self as well as knowledge of the self. Here we see a
connection between Lilith and Leviathan, that in many ways they are
nearly the same-
"You already know that evil Samael and wicked Lilith are like a sexual pair
who, by means of an intermediary, receive an evil and wicked
emanation from one and emanate to the other. I shall explain this relying on
the esoteric meaning in the verse "In that day the Lord will punish with His
great, cruel, mighty sword Leviathan the twisted serpent and
Leviathan the tortuous serpent"--this is Lilith--"and He will slay the dragon of
the sea" (Isaiah 27:1). As there is a pure Leviathan in the sea and it is
called a serpent, so there is a great defiled serpent in the sea in the literal
sense. The same holds true above in a hidden way. The heavenly serpent is a
blind prince, the image of an intermediary between Samael and Lilith."
-"Treatise on the Left Emanation" by R. Isaac b. Jacob Ha-Kohen
Aleister Crowley in his work "De Arte Magica" describes in certain terms
the use of Sexual Magick within the image of Lilith, that she is the key to
creations of night born servitors or demons. Such workings Crow ley
considered highly dangerous-
"Among the Jews are certain instructed Initiates of their Qabalah who
hold, as We understand, the view that in the Zraa or Semen itself lies a
creative force inherent which cannot be baulked. Thus they say that before
Eve was made, the dreams of Adam produced Lilith, a demon, and that
from his intercourse with her sprang evil races. All other sexual acts
involving emission of semen therefore attract or other spirits, incomplete
and therefore evil. Thus nocturnal pollutions bring succubi, which are
capable of seperate ex-istance, and of vampirising their creator. But
voluntary sterile acts create demons, and (if done with concentration and
magical intention), such demons as may subserve that intention." Aleister
Crowley, "De Arte Magica"
Although Crowley seemed to almost warn against such sexual workings to

evoke and create demons, in "Rex de Arte Regia" describes two
workings to produce Belial and Asmodee by means of solitary
masturbation. This is possible in the area of controlling and focusing the
41
Will in the essence or goal behind the Demon in question, but Crowley
warned others of this operation as it can cause the spirit to gain a
separate existence and to astrally vampirize it's creator if not bound and
focused correctly.
We see with reference to Samael and Lilith, a working Aleister Crowley

conducted with his Scarlet Woman, one of which brought to excite his
Kundalini or Magick Fire. This serpent is controlled starting at the base of
the spine and moving upward, thus allowing for ecstasy and power. In "The
Magical Record of the Beast 666" Crowley described his working involving
ShTN, or the Fire Serpent (Satan/ Set/ Shaitan) with the Scarlet Woman,
thus what Crowley referred to as the Sun and the Moon conjoined. A
fascinating description of his rite describes the ecstasy of Magick-
"The Tortured-Ecstasy of the contorted face, the writhing of the hag body
that ground down it's beast. The storm of lust and pain and madness. It
was Night's Hollow wretching at her captive Dragon, whose blood was
seed of the blind and furious stars. She was like Hecate in a death-dance,
Satan-possessed, convulsive, pumping my life, body and soul, as `twere a
Python in his agony. She certainly gave me what I've been losing. Youth's
intensity that sacrament of Satan that may be consummated only
beneath night's dome, in utmost silence, because it's elements are not
symbols of things, but They themselves." - Aleister Crowley, "The Magical
Record of the Beast 666"
Here we see the infernal union of both outward with his partner, but also a
mirror shining into the depths of the abyss of his self, his possibility and
that chaos which was within him. Controlling it, focusing it, Crowley was
able to manifest his Will from this very essence of Magick.
In Luciferian Witchcraft Cain is considered the Devil incarnate in flesh. He

is the first born in the circle of Leviathan, the first born of sorcery and the
Patron Spirit (who is masked as the Devil) of the Toad Rite. In certain
writings, Cain is said to have emerged from the seed of Samael and Eve (by
possession by Lilith)-
"R. Hiyya said: "The sons of God were the sons of Cain. For when Samael
mounted Eve, he injected filth into her, and she conceived and bare Cain.
And his aspect was unlike that of the other humans and all those who
came from his side were called sons of God."- Kabbala: Zohar 1:37a
Here we see that the magical act of sexual union creates a God like
individual, who in this instance is Cain. Cain is considered to be a Son of
Satan, a manifestation of that very solar force within man and woman. In
42
Michael W. Ford
religious lore, Samael who is the Serpent or Dragon, was said to have
injected filth which spawned Cain, his son in flesh-
"When the serpent mounted eve, he injected filth into her. Israel who stood at
Mount Sinai, their filth ceased; the other nations who did not stand at
Mount Sinai, their filth has not ceased ..... " Talmud: b. Shab. 146a
Aleister Crowley made reference to Cain and his mark of initiation, which
some Witches disagree with according to their tradition. To paraphrase:
"there is the legend of Eve and the Serpent, for Cain was the child of Eve
and the Serpent, and not of Eve and Adam; and therefore when he had
slain his brother, who was the first murderer, having sacrificed living
things to his demon, had Cain the mark upon his brow, which is the mark of
the Beast spoken of in the Apocalypse, and is the sign of initiation." -
The Book of Thoth, Aleister Crowley
In Luciferian Grimoires, Cain is said to be a symbol and gateway for man

and woman to become, thus the symbol of Baphomet as Anton LaVey
called it, is the inverted pentagram with a goat head in the middle. The
original, which LaVey took out, contained the words Samael and Lilith,
surrounded in the circle ring the Hebrew LvTHN, Leviathan, the Crooked
Serpent. In the circles of Luciferian Witchcraft, this is the sigil of
Baphomet - the Head of Wisdom who has united the Solar and the
Lunar, or the Fire and Water within the self to bring forth Cain, the Devil in
Flesh upon earth. He is the symbol and cipher of Magick, the Great Work
accomplished and onward moving. At the gathering of the Sabbat is Cain
the Black Man, the circle and center of the Sabbat and it's fire, he directs it
outward as "he" is the Pole of this Force.
"Woe unto them! For they have gone in the way of Cain" - Jude 11
Cain's name is said to have derived from a root `Kanah' which means to
possess29. This by itself presents the antinomian nature of his essence,
while instead of sacrificing his most bountiful items to the Lord, he kept
them for himself. This may draw conclusion that he viewed himself as a
form of God, by later sacrificing his brother Abe130 he began the Left
Hand Path, which brought him into being as a Son of Satan. Cain is
viewed in later paths of Witchcraft as a Lord of Magick, but rather the
darker aspects. Here Cain takes a similar path with Anubis by name and
process. Robert Cochrane, a practitioner of Witchcraft in the 60's wrote-
Catholic Encyclopedia
"Abel in some Luciferian Lore is considered a lower 'pre form' of Cain, thus the sacrifice was not literal.

•
"In the North lies the Castle of Weeping, the ruler thereof is named Tettens,
our Hermes or Woden. He is the second twin, the waning sun, Lord over
mysticism, magic, power and death, the baleful destroyer. The God of War, of
Justice, King of Kings, since all pay their homage to him. Ruler of the Winds,
the Windyat. Cain imprisioned in the Moon, ever desiring Earth. He is
visualized as a tall dark man, shadowy, cold and deadly." - Letters from
Robert Cochrane
Here we see that Cain, the Son of Samael and Lilith, is the Devil manifest on
the earth - the Son of Shaitan. He is above the flesh, yet his essence is
found within it. The Lord of Magick is Dual - it is Nightside and
Dayside, Sun and the Moon, Life and Death. Cain is here the body of the
magician, the soul of Baphomet if you will. As found in the Book of
Cain31 the Dragon Samael and Lilith join as one to beget the son of filth, yet
he grows strong by his Will and emerges as Baphomet. The
illustration of Cain as the Adversary32 presents him holding the Trident or
Stave above, symbolizing the Sun and Celestial region, and a hammer below
representing the Forge and the Infernal region.
"You shall thirst for water and for blood; both in dreaming shall be held
from the dual gnosis. I hold the Golden Cup to your lips, that the Dragon's
elixir hold strong - I then hand to you the skull bowl of my flowing blood, that
you may taste the bitter sweetness of it's coppered kiss - then in your ecstasy
and thy devil's phallus reaching towards the Sun shall my serpent's
tongue enflame you to me." - The Book of Cain by Michael W.
Ford
As written Cain is slowly transforming into a manifestation of both

Samael (the Devil) and Lilith, he is the magician of Two Opposing Fires, yet
they join as one within him as from when they were created. Robert
Cochrane further described Cain as-
"He is the God of magicians and witches, who knows all sorcery. Lord of the
North, dark, unpredictable, the true God of witches and magicians if they
are working at any decent level at all. A cold wind surrounds Him, age and
time so ancient that it is beyond belief flows with him. Dark is his shadow, and
he bears a brance of the sorrowing alder, and walks with the aid of a
blackthorn stick." - Letters from Robert Cochrane
Cain in this perspective represents a process of movement and

transformation. The Luciferian Path as practiced in some covens and
sorcerers describes and understands Cain being the Devil who is the self,
thus by our Work being done, thus Cain manifests further. He is the Son

of Satan, the Son of the Old Dragon and Bringer of Light. As mentioned
earlier with regard to Alexander Sanders, the Triangle of Darkness from the
South lands of Neph-Kam we joined with the Northern Ascending
Triangle of Light, thus Six Sides utilizing the Power of the Sun and the
Moon - Magick itself. Robert Cochrane described the Hexagram as the
following-
"which in part represents Old Tubal Cain, or the All Father Himself.
Hearne"- Letters from Robert Cochrane
Interestingly enough, the Eight Pointed Luciferian Star33, the Chaos

Sphere, represents in most Magical circles as being the symbol of
Baphomet. Robert Cochrane described Tettens or Cain as a Rider on an 8
Legged Horse, thus draws close symbolism with the Sigil of ALGOL, the
Chaos Star and Inverse Pentagram. This also makes assumption to the true
Nature of Anubis - being the Son of Set, with Cain, the Son of the Devil
and Eve (through Lilith in dreaming sorcery). The "Watcher of the
Twilight34" who is the Lord of Magick, therefore the Opener of the Way
wears the Mask of the Beast and stands between both Dawn and
Twilight.
"Know it as the elixir of life, the Syllubub of Sun and Moon. Verily he steals the
fire from Heaven: the greatest act of bravery in the world." - The Book of
Pleasure, Austin Osman Spare
The Society of the Horseman's Word in Scotland in the 1800's viewed

Cain as an archetype of malefic and diabolic power, and is presented in
initiation ceremonies where the participant met a horned 'devil' covered in
animal skins and masked, many were taught to summon the devil by the
means of certain phrases of the bible recited backwards35. In "The Toad
Rite36, Ahriman is a primal or infernal spirit mask of Cain, thus through
the flesh of Cain does the Devil first manifest and later initiate.
In East Anglian Hereditary Witchcraft, it is suggested that when Cain

went to Nod he was greeted by the Devil who made him the first Witch.
Even with older areas of historical and hereditary craft Cain as the
manifestation as the first sorcerer, created by the Devil, holds the True
foundations of the Craft which indeed separates it from it's watered down
Wiccan varieties. British Hereditary Witch Nathaniel Harris has written an
article on Cain based on his family teachings, lore and his own
33 Called ALGOL, the sigil of The Order of Phosphorus, the authors current magical guild.

sorcerous study and work37. His theories are sound and hold much
inspiration for those who utilize "truth within the circle", which is
inspired or creative truth, thus aiding ones own initiation.
"According to Saint Augustine, Saint Clement, Eusebius, Lactantius, the

Abbe' Simonnet, and others, the entire lineage of Cain were tainted. Whilst
God declared his will to Seth by the mediation of angels, Cain was gone
from the sight of the Lord and sought aid from the Infernal One. The
offspring of Cain were 'deceived' by the workings of Satan so that they
worshipped him. Thus was diabolism born, and Cain was equated as the first
witch and Satanist." - Nathaniel J. Harris, WITCHA, A Book of Cunning
Here we are able to discern the mythology which holds Cain as the first of
Witch Blood, the fire and water embodiment of Samael and Lilith, that which
has born Cain as our prototype and initiatory model. Harris points out also
the invocation used to Conjure Cain in Charles Leland's "Aradia
- Gospel of the Witches". Nathan Harris writes also that some claim
hereditary witchcraft is that the childre n are of Cain, who in some
traditions is also the son of Adam and Lilith, or the traditional myth of
Samael (the Devil) and Eve.
A further interesting connection that Lilith holds with Samael/ Satan is the
Star Algol which was originally called Arabic the "Ri1B al Ohill" and later
the Hebrew "Rosh ha Sitan" meaning The Head of Satan and also Lilith.
Algol can be viewed as a Star which represents the essence of Satan and
Lilith, the twin fire of becoming through the Left Hand Path. In Luciferian
Sorcery, Algol is presented as an 8 pointed Chaos Sigil with the inverted
pentagram in the center. This is made reference to the number 8,
being of Baphomet and Chaos, and the pentagram representing the
five points of the Adversary, details are found in the grade workings of
The Black Order of the Dragon38, which is a non -
public initiatory circle. The inverted pentagram in an outer sense
represents the manifestation of the Will through the man ipulation of
Matter.
IV. The Gnostic Yaltabaoth, "Child of Chaos"

'And when she saw (the consequences of) her desire, it changed into a
form of a lion faced serpent. And its eyes were like lightning fires which
flash. She cast it away from her, outside that place, that no one of the
immortal ones might see it, for she had created it in ignorance. And she
surrounded it with a luminous cloud, and she placed a throne in the
'7 See Witcha by Nathan Harris.

'8 Overseen and under the guidance of the present author.
46
Michael W. Ford
middle of the cloud that no one might see it except the holy Spirit who is
called the mother of the living. And she called his name Yaltabaoth." - The
Apocryphon of John
The Apocryphon of John, discovered in Upper Egypt in 1945, is perhaps

one of the more significant Gnostic texts which hold a hidden relation to the
Adversary. These early Christian writings, dated roughly AD 350, were
perhaps one of the most significant records of the history of Gnostic records.
It was written that Barbelo (called Sophia), a great and powerful female
archon, who was considered beautiful and near perfection, desired to
create a child. She went off alone and begat this child. While she desired to
create something like herself, this child was imperfect and different. She
saw the results of her creative desire, and cast him off away from her
where others may not see him. This child of chaos took the form of a Lion
Serpent, who contained the Fire and Light of Heaven, and the individualistic
and rebellious thought which separated him from the other archons. As
written in the Apocryphon of John-
""Now the archon who is weak has three names. The first name is
Yaltabaoth, the second is Saklas, and the third is Samael. And he is
impious in his arrogance which is in him. For he said, 'I am God and there
is no other God beside me,' for he is ignorant of his strength, the place from
which he had come."-The Apocryphon of John
That Yaitabaoth, which means Ilda, child, Baoth, chaos was cast off from his
mother Barbelo, he learned of independence and reliance upon the self. He
saw no need to worship or hold relevance to another, thus proclaimed
his independence spiritually. The fire which was within Yaltabaoth
was pure intelligence and beauty, yet his nature was both darkness and
light, he made himself strong and filled with wisdom from his time alone,
and discovered the powers within. Here Yalabaoth understood the
power of creation, and began to work independently from all other archons.
'And when the light had mixed with the darkness, it caused the darkness to
shine. And when the darkness had mixed with the light, it darkened the light
and it became neither light nor dark, but it became dim." - The
Apocryphon of John
Here we see the significance of darkness, and the hidden fire of self
knowledge and that Samael mixed both to beget his creations. This is the
model of the sorcerer that by Will and Desire does become able to create
accordingly. Here we are able to read that the Fire of Heaven was taken
from Barbel() and used by Yaltabaoth -
47
"This is the first archon who took a great power from his mother. And he
removed himself from her and moved away from the places in which he was
born. He became strong and created for himself other aeons with a flame of
luminous fire which (still) exists now. And he joined with his arrogance
which is in him and begot authorities for himself The name of the first one is
Athoth, whom the generations call the reaper. The second one is Harmas,
who is the eye of envy. The third one is Kalila-Oumbri. The fourth one is Yabel.
The fifth one is Adonaiou, who is called Sabaoth. The sixth one is Cain, whom
the generations of men call the sun. The seventh is Abel. The eighth is
Abrisene. The ninth is Yobel. The tenth is Armoupieel.
The eleventh is Melceir-Adonein. The twelfth is Belias, it is he who is over the
depth of Hades. And he placed seven kings - each corresponding to the
firmaments of heaven - over the seven heavens, and five over the depth of the
abyss, that they may reign. And he shared his fire with them, but he did not
send forth from the power of the light which he had taken from his mother, for
he is ignorant darkness." - The Apocryphon of John
It must be considered that Darkness cannot be considered complete

ignorance that it is where the rebellious journey into - it is the forbidden and
unknown. One must have a Mind and individual consciousness to break
from the natural order, thus darkness presents a gift of
individuality - it allows the Fire within them is seen. Yaltabaoth was able to
create other spirits as well, such as Belias, Cain and others. Saklas, as is one
of his many names understood the leverage of power which came from
within, and how to change his shape to be beautiful and angelic, that the
other angels would hear his voice. Yaltabaoth, who is known as Lucifer,
could speak unto them that they may hear him, and that Blackened
Fire within could be sparked within them as well. As written in the
Apocryphon of John-
"But Yaltabaoth had a multitude of faces, more than all of them, so that he
could put a face before all of them, according to his desire, when he is in the
midst of seraphs. He shared his fire with them; therefore he became lord
over them. Because of the power of the glory he possessed of his mother's
light, he called himself God. And he did not obey the place from which he
came. And he united the seven powers in his thought with the authorities
which were with him. And when he spoke it happened." -The Apocryphon of
John
Here we see that Lucifer first awoke the other angels that they saw not
only his brilliance, but that fire within them was awakened. He called
himself a God, that which recognized its self-divinity and his power to
create. Thus here we find that initially Yaltabaoth was the most powerful
archon, much like his earlier form of Ahriman, the Adversary. In
darkness did he discover his light; the world he sought to create.
Humanity was given this fire by Samael, who came unto the earth
48
Michael W. Ford
initiated the spark of the flame of self-knowledge. The Devil as he is

called later, mingled with both darkness and light; held within a light
brighter than any mere angel, yet devoured those before him who were lost
in self righteousness. As written in the Bible, supposed words of Jesus-
"Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He
was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because
there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for
he is a liar, and the father of it." -Gospel of John
That the children of humanity are indeed the seed of Samael and Lilith, the
Devil are those descendents of Cain the Witch Father, that those who affirm
the devil are thereby of this spirit of strength and wisdom. The Spirit of
Flame, called Samael and many other names, who is a dragon and beast in
spirit, came in the form of man to test him. One account of the testing came
in the form of a man to question the sheep of Jesus-
"That a Pharisee named Arimanius approached him and said to him,

"Where is your master whom you followed?" And he said to him, "He has
gone to the place from which he came." The Pharisee said to him, "With
deception did this Nazarene deceive you, and he filled your ears with lies,
and closed your hearts (and) turned you from the traditions of your
fathers. "-The Apocryphon of John
It must be considered that the questions asked by the Adversary are

indeed tests. They are tests of spirit, or Will and of resolve. The
Luciferian Path is filled with tests of strength, on failing could lead to
self-destruction, while a test passed will reward the Satanist or
Luciferian with Light. The Christians look upon what is the opposite as
ignorance or evil; yet they are filled with the self-delusions of what may be
perceived as one path only. It must be understood as well that the
Luciferian understands the very practice of Magick as a development of
consciousness, of becoming something greater than previously thought —
striving for self excellence and wisdom, no matter what path that may be.
This is what lies within the Triangle of Darkness, the evocation center
itself: the Circle. Herein is the binding of diabolic power, the very essence of
the Adversary who is both Fire mixed with Darkness, and with shadow does
the sorcerer design and cast his will in the world.
The sorcerer is one who seeks to not only identify him or herself with the
Adversary, rather invoke this force through them and it shall become
them by means of magical fascination and arte.
V. The Path of the Crooked Serpent
49
The God of the Jagged Spine - Leviathan
In the caverns and caves of the abyssic darkness, wherein the water
depths weave a lonely song, comes a whispering hiss of the past and
future. In blood this name is recalled, spiraling in the back of the spine
through the brain of man. The Rahab Daemon, who has fallen forth into the
oceans and long since transformed in the Coiling Dragon of timeless being,
emerged Leviathan! Unto the Deserts of Dendain does Behemoth dwell,
now a beast of gigantic stature, who listens to the Voice of the Adversary,
the Will - Inspiring force of motion and evolution. Rivers of Blood flow that
flowers may grow from their nourishment of the soil, that the Sun and the
Moon capture a pleasure filled garden, knowing of the demonium of the
earth beneath the surface - the nurturing of the Horned Spirit of the Sun
and the Moon.
Leviathan represents a subconscious source of power within each

Luciferian and Satanist, it is the possibility and chaos within the self, it is
not a representation of that type of mental and spiritual energy, rather a
coiling source which not only strengthens those traits you develop and
overcome, but also inspires terror and the mirror which reflects the inner fire
of the beast and angel within.
"Leviathan, the great Dragon from the Watery Abyss, roars fourth as the
surging sea, and these invocations are his tribunals." -The Satanic Bible,
Anton Szandor LaVey
Leviathan also represents the passions which arise within us - while

Belial may be the manifestation or flesh made of those passions, Satan the
Will behind it and Lucifer the imagination to accomplish it, Leviathan is that
beast from the Ocean of the Subconscious itself.
The mysteries of Leviathan have for long challenged Magicians,

Christians and occult scholars alike. Let us seek to determine workable
points which may present a clear definition of wh at this name means, how
it may be used as a model in sorcery, thus presenting the magician in the
coils of this dragon.
"The fleeing serpent, the coiling serpent, the powerful with the seven
heads" - A Caanite description of Lotan, a form of Behemoth and
Leviathan.
In the 60th chapter of the Book of Enoch, Leviathan is presented as a

great dragon which is of the sea, the primordial chaos which this great
serpent dwells, and the very abyss. Leviathan is also another name for
Rahab, the Angel of Violence. The concept of this mysterious dragon is,
50
Michael W. Ford
according to the system of Justinus39 Leviathan is a "Bad Angel". The

Hebrew term refers to Leviathan as that "which gathers itself together in
folds", thus the coiling dragon. It should be known that the circle itself is
timeless and represents the eternal spirit. Leviathan in this instance is
e the guardian of the abyss and timeless in essence. Isaiah 27:1 calls
D
Leviathan "that crooked serpent".
S
1 The fallen angel Rahab itself means "Violence" and refers to his name or
title as "Sar shel yam", in Hebrew "Prince of the Primordial Sea". The
f source of the twin fallen angels Leviathan and Behemoth, presents both
as beasts and dragons which hold much power when they fell.
'And that day will two monsters be parted, one monster, a female named
Leviathan in order to dwell in the abyss of the ocean over the fountains of
water, and a male called Behemoth which holds his chest in an invisible
desert whose name is Dendayen, east of the Garden of Eden." - Enoch
60: 7-8
These twin dragons in the beginning were said to be angels, but took
monstrous form and fell to earth, Leviathan, represented as often female
and male, and Behemoth being a male, to respectively, the Abyss of
Oceans and the Earth. In this lore, Lucifer fell yet retained something of
his former self - a role which each angel played differently depending on
their individual personality and nature.
Eliphas Levi is created with the creation of the Sigil which was first
indoctrinated by Anton LaVey in the 1960's as the Church of Satan. This
image appeared in 1961 in a French book entitled "Histoire en 1000
Images de la Magie". This sigil, which is composed of the goat head
within an inverse pentagram, spells Samael and Lilith in the circle,
representing the two daemonic forces which are antinomian in nature.
What encircles and surrounds the three (Samael, Lilith and the Goat
Head, or what Rabbis could call Cain) is the LVYThN, which is spelled
from the bottom counter clockwise, with the Hebrew letters lamed, vav,
yod, tav, nun. This is indeed a sigil of personal power used by Satanists
and Luciferians, representing the possibilities and power within the self.
The Levi version with the original spelling of Samael and Lilith is a Grade
symbol within the Luciferian Guild, The Order of Phosphorus.
The Book of Job presents a very interesting description of Leviathan -
His back is made of rows of shields,

shut up closely as with a seal...
his sneezings flash forth light
39 From The Legends of the Jews, Ginzberg.
51
and his eyes are like the eyelids of the dawn.

Out of the mouth go flaming torches;
Sparks of fire leap forth..
In his neck abides strength,
Terror dances before him."
This indicates that the form of Leviathan is difficult to comprehend. In the

biblical art of Liber Floridus, the Antichrist, emerald and crimson robes
flowing, rides upon Leviathan, who is pictured as a great Dragon. Beast
with four legs, talon like teeth with blackened eyes. The face of this beast is
the model for which has been invoked during the Coven Maleficia40
Rites involving the ascension of power.
The bible makes further reference to Leviathan in Job-
"May those who curse days curse that day, those who are ready to rouse
Leviathan. May its morning stars become dark; may it wait for daylight in
vain and not see the first days of the dawn."
Leviathan is considered to being connected with Azhdeha, the dragon, the

very home of Tiamat and some suggesting also Set (who is known in lore to
take the form of Serpents), also connected to Tiamat, the Chaos Dragon of
the Akko-Sumerians. In The Book of the Sacred Magic of AbraMelin the
Mage, Leviathan is one of the four crowned Princes of Hell, spell from
the Hebraic root of LVIThN. He is called the Crooked or Piercing
Serpent or Dragon. Leviathan is a chief daemon along with Lucifer,
Satan and Belial. Anton LaVey attributed Leviathan to the direction of
West, associated with Water.
Understanding Leviathan provides a more significant challenge than any

other Daemon. Rahab itself is a fallen spirit of timeless existence, as it
wraps or folds in upon itself, thus a serpent which has mastered time, thus
possesses a higher capacity beyond common human perception. A
Luciferian or Satanic Magician would use Leviathan as the Circle, and
within the Circle of Self (the magician) does he or she transform
themselves.
"And they worshipped the Dragon which gave power unto the Beast"-
Revelation 13:4
The definition of violence is something marked by extreme force, or a

sudden and intense activity. Thus as Rahab better known as Leviathan, is a
force of change and movement. This draws a connection to the
4 () The Coven which founded The Order of Phosphorus, renamed "Maleficia- after the Day of Cain for the
group, August 22nd.
52
Michael W. Ford
Egyptian Set, the God of Darkness, Chaos and Storms. As the self
develops and seeks to perceive new areas of its psyche-eccentric being,
Leviathan encircles he or she to control the power itself; thus an
consistent and timeless initiatory force.
This brings a question concerning the individual mind and the Crooked
Dragon - what is the subjective focus of Leviathan; what does this
daemon represent to the conscious self? How do we use Leviathan in a Left
Hand Path initiatory way?
Leviathan is the encircler/ensorceller of the self; the circumference of the

astral and physical body. It is the timeless being, the psyche transformed
into Daemon. As it is the Angel of Violence and Dragon of the Watery
Abyss, it represents the mastery of the self through change and the
ability to place occurrence and happenings into the magicians own
individual universe.
Through the refinement of the subconscious (as based on the

transference level of the unconscious to conscious via dreaming) the self
grows in the study/interplay of his or her own environment and reality as it
is perceived. This is the process of when the Black Magician begins to
effectively crystallize the perceived essence of self, the very scratched
surface to the core of self, and allow for a beginning of expansion of the
Will to manifest in other areas inward or outward.
This enables the sorcerer to place his/herself on the path of becoming a

Demon, an enfleshed deified being which is separate from the natural
order via the discovery and basic mastery of the Black Flame. This is the
Luciferian essence revealed, that which confirms the interplay between
Azazel/Shaitan and Leviathan among other Fallen Angels.
"And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the
feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave
him his power, and his seat, and great authority" - Revelation 13:2
Leviathan is the Lord of the Will, the daemon which awakens and
crystallizes the essence of self; that in the center is the inextinguishable
Black Flame, the Gift of Iblis. In Luciferian terms, the maker of the
possibility of Union between Samael and Lilith, the creation of Cain as the
self transformed. Change may be invoked and willed by the mind
depending on the path of the magician.
If he/she is upon one path, their focus may invoke positive change,
through an optimistic outlook and creating or impelling a beneficial
progression in their own environment. In the model of the Witches
Sabbat, Lucifer is the imagination, the Adversary who is both angel and
53
Luczferian Witchcraft - The Book of the Serpent
demon, the isolate self. Leviathan is the daemon which encircles the
possibility of self, who creates the link which the Luciferic Angel may
develop in the Black Magician. Transformation through Deific
selfassociation is the transference to Becoming.
Ahriman represents the sorcerous side of Lucifer, the Darkness made

flesh. In relation to Leviathan, Ahrimanean Sorcery or yatuk-dinoih,
responds and is directed by the self in response to the natural
predilection of the sorcerers' magical interests. Thus by this alone, the
activation and self-determined focus channels the Will via dreaming,
creating a possibility for such rapid movement to occur via the path of
sorcery, etc.
Leviathan once faced by the Sorcerer cannot be banished - it is then a

perceived sense of who we are. To deny Leviathan is to become blind to our
possibility and our very future. For one to begin to grasp the
possibility of the immortal psyche, the mind which stands alone, which has
emerged and evolved, depends upon the crystallization of the essence
in relation to Leviathan - Lucifer and Lilith, the force which creates and
empowers the mind.
Beelzebub or Beelzbuth according to S.L. MacGregor Mathers in the

"Sacred Magic of Abramelin the Mage" described his name as meaning
BOL, Hebrew for Lord and ZBVB, Flies. Beelzebub is a form of the
Adversary which holds close - if not identical - associations to Satan.
The name Baal'zebuth was known as the "Prince of Demons" in the time of
Christ, when the Pharisees took against Christ. They associated Christ having
been possessed by Beelzebub and referred to his power as being able to
drive the demons from one by the power of demons. It is suggested
that the name of Beelzebub, being the God of Ekron which was a Philistine
city. The Canaanite name "Baal" which is an early Pagan god is the root of
this demon. King Solomon had dealings with this demon and learned much
about his nature. He is considered the Lord of Flies and a powerful force.
An interesting text concerning him is the following-
"Then Hell, receiving Satan the prince, with sore reproach said unto him: 0
prince of perdition and chief of destruction, Beelzebub, the scorn of the angels
and spitting of the righteous why wouldest thou do this? Thou
wouldest crucify the King of glory and at his decease didst promise us
great spoils of his death: like a fool thou knewest not what thou didst. For
behold now, this Jesus putteth to flight by the brightness of his majesty all the
darkness of death, and hath broken the strong depths of the prisons, and let
out the prisoners and loosed them that were bound. And all that were sighing

myth crucified acted as his initiator and teacher, he tested Christ by

Beelzebub has experienced in the Fall; yet Christ was said to have
returned to Heaven after gaining a perception of his own being and

riamat, Pazuzu and Moloch & other Gods

The Enuma Elish, written roughly in the twelfth century BCE to
celebrate Babylonian celebrations, presents the primal mother in one of her
first forms. Tiamat (of the primal salt water oceans) was mentioned as
being before all other gods; in fact she was according to these
postSumerian tablets as being along with her mate, Apsu (sweet water
oceans), being before all other Gods or heaven. Both Apsu and Tiamat
created children, who were Gods which possessed wisdom and a desire for
life. Soon the Gods were fighting and creating such discord it
disturbed Apsu, who called to his mate:
`Their manners revolt me, day and night without remission we suffer. My
will is to destroy them, all of their kind, we shall have peace at last and we
will sleep again.' When Tiamat heard she was stung, she writhed in lonely
desolation, her heart worked in secret passion, Tiamat said, 'Why
must we destroy the children that we made? If their ways are
troublesome, let us wait a little while. " Enuma Elish, translated by N.K.
Sandars
Here we can see that Tiamat had love for her children, and sought to
allow them to develop. Apsu was less patient and sought to destroy them
anyway. It was soon that Apsu was bound and destroyed by Ea, while
Tiamat lay catatonic. Upon her awakening, one of her children said:
55
"'When they killed Apsu you did not stir, you brought no help to him, your
husband. Now Anu has called up from the four quarters this abomination of
winds to rage in your guts, and we cannot rest for the pain;
Remember Apsu in your heart, your husband, remember Mummu who was
defeated; now you are all alone, and thrash around in desolation, and we
have lost your love, our eyes ache and we long for sleep.
'Rouse up, our Mother! Pay them back and make them empty like the
wind.' Enuma Elish, translated by N.K. Sandars
Here is the description of how Tiamat transforms herself from creative to

destructive. It is known her form is a Dragon; she represented the bitter
- such as Salt water. Tiamat was always depicted, as seen from tablets
held in the British Museum as being a dragon like figure, covered in
scales, talon clawed and with both tail and wings. Tiamat's form later was
echoed in later Persian art as the "Ahriman - Dragon", being a form of her
masculine counterpart. Tiamat grew angry and sought revenge; here is
the spirit of the predator in its birth. Tiamat is the great devouring
source and the life giving mother according to these ancient tales.
"Mother Hubur, who fashions all things, Contributed an unfaceable

weapon: she bore giant snakes, Sharp of tooth and unsparing of fang. She
filled their bodies with venom instead of blood. She cloaked ferocious
dragons with fearsome rays And made them bear mantles of radiance,
made them godlike" - Enuma Elish, translated by Stephanie Dalley
Mummu Tiamat stands as the principle of deific possibility, as related to the
self. It must be understood that the Gods were not created in essence by
man, merely the names of which they are called. We manifest the
anthropomorphic traits of the Gods by our design, yet their essence was
before us. The Adversary as both Lilith/Tiamat and Lucifer/Ahriman/Set is
far older than we; this very force is both creative and destructive.
Tiamat was angered with the ones who killed her companion that she
stirred, creating new children who were hungry for the lifeforce of her
enemy. Tiamat in her sorcerous path created vampyric and draconian
children, who despite bestial form, were considered to be superior to the
brooding first born who killed her mate Apsu.
"She filled their bodies with venom instead of blood.

She cloaked ferocious dragons with fearsome rays
And made them bear mantles of radiance, made them godlike,
(chanting this imprecation)
`Whoever looks upon them shall collapse in utter terror!
Their bodies shall rear up continually and never turn away!'
She stationed a horned serpent, a mushussu-dragon, and a lahmu-hero,

In addition she created eleven more likewise.

Over the gods her offspring who had convened a council for her
She promoted Qingu and made him greatest among them,
Conferred upon him leadership of the army, command of the assembly,
Raising the weapon to signal engagement, mustering combat-troops,
Overall command of the whole battle force." -Enuma Elish
The spell of creation and making was used here in primal form. Her
desire was cast and thus her will made flesh. Adepts upon the Luciferian
Path are able to realize the significance of intoning desi re to make it
flesh, by Naming, willing and naming does the self grow stronger. By all
accounts in this section of the ancient Enuma Elish tablets, do we view
and understand the very essence of Magick, that all emerges from the Will
and self. Tiamat is the possibility and will of our subconscious, that which
forms order from nothingness. By encircling yourself in your desire can
you command your Will upon the world. This is the Luciferian doctrine, that
which has almost been buried by the Right Hand Pat h anti-spiritualists
who seek mind-death.
Tiamat, in her anger and roused desire, created shadows which became
flesh, beasts and dragon children who would fight those she sought to
devour. Here we can see Tiamat as both beneficial and destructive, she is a
primal dragon - form of Lilith or the Manichaean Az, that is the
daemonic feminine which is very much a part of all humans.
Qingu, the Son/lover of Tiamat, was given the power of her throne, from
primal abyssic darkness to the burning essence of the Black Flame, here
Qingu is crowned as the Dragon King.
"And she set him upon a throne.

Ì have cast the spell for you and made you greatest in the gods' assembly!
I have put into your power rule over all the gods!
You shall be the greatest, for you are my only lover!
Your commands shall always prevail over all the Anukki!'
Then she gave him the Tablet of Destinies and made him clasp it to his
breast.
`Your utterance shall never be altered! Your word shall be law!'
When Qingu was promoted and had received the Anu-power
And had decreed destinies for the gods his sons, (he said),
`What issues forth from your mouths shall quench Fire!
Your accumulated venom shall paralyze the powerful!" -Enuma Elish
Mummu Tiamat, called also Mummu Hubur (Mother of Monsters) is the life
giving mother of darkness, who begets serpents to expand her Will. In the
story of Enuma Elish, Tiamat's hordes are destroyed and Qingu's blood
is used to create humanity, while originally they were created from
58
Michael W. Ford
Mud, yet Qingu's blood brought humanity the flame of perception, of

individual being. Thus in certain context we see a pre-tale of Lucifer or
Satan, who fell to earth.
A key to understanding the legends of Tiamat in a mythological or merely

within a inspirational-initatory context would be that Tiamat was the
primal form (active - creative) form of Lilith, who empowered/awakened
Qingu (Ahriman/Lucifer) and by this stirred to life the children of the
Dragon. Recall the Manichaean lore of Az teaching the fallen angels how to
copulate and beget demons, thus the lore of Az-Lilith being a creative
source, demons being a manifestation of the will to invoke what is called
Ginnung, or Chaos. This is a concept of Norse mythology, which holds a
parallel in that the primal force is manifested as a dragon. Chaos has a
dual aspect, being both negative and positive. In this aspect, Tiamat
manifests upon earth her legions and soon formed life. Thus instead of
death, as Tiamat is undying, she died the first death of her form and
remanifested later as Lilith and her children, the Lamashtu, Lilim, Lilitu and
Kali among others.
Lilith is the dominant Will, the unrestrained yet ultimately self-controlled

aspect of the human and animal psyche. She is by her own
understanding a link between the bestial and the angelic. Lilith
understands that humanity must be uplifted, yet no one must not forget the
atavistic and animal strength which sleeps in the mind. By
developing and controlling the animalistic aspects of the self; allowing
them to work in your benefit according to your Will, success will be yours
by design. Lilith is by all aspects in flesh the rebel, the spirit of flame
who will not be held by any oppressive force. Lilith made her home near the
red sea, in caves from which she spawned her demons who would spread
her linage unto mankind. Lilith was the opener of the way to the Sabbatic
Crossroads; that is, she brought the link between dreaming and enfleshing
desires. Her succubi and incubi went forth by the dreamroads to copulate
with mankind; thus spawing children of desire from their unions. You
may look also to the Cabalistic union between Samael (the Devil or Solar
principle) and Lilith which was brought in union by the dragon, Leviathan.
The sexual union of these two aspects created Cain or as by other names
Baphomet. This process may be directed inward in a self-alchemical sense
from which Cain may take flesh in your mind; body thus creating a new
type of Luciferian Individual - strong, isolate and determined to enjoy
and be productive according to their own Will - in life and beyond.
Invoke Lilith within and beyond; she is an active principle which is

perhaps larger than you may first have perceived - or perhaps not. You
59
may have sensed Her nature; that she is something beyond flesh yet so
enveloped in it.
Within the Luciferian and Sabbatic doctrine, Lilith has many

transformative and multi-cultural states of which she manifests. In the
primal beginnings Lilith was Tiamat, the female chaos dragon, who may be
represented as the Constellation of Alpha Draco or Thuban. The Ath Thuban,
or "the serpent" is a constellation which holds relations to Azhdeha, the
devouring dragon.
In Sumerian and Babylonian myths, the Chaldean dragon Tiamat was the
representation of Alpha Draco. Tiamat existed within primal chaos; she was
still yet alone in intellect and isolate being. Her form was a great dragon-
serpent; she walked within primal chaos and created demons such as
scorpion-men and other bestial forms of primal hunger. When the flesh
came from the Abyss, Tiamat eventually was cut asunder by Marduk -
from this he created the earth. Tiamat was later considered the power of the
North, just as her later counterpart Set and the Persian Ahriman.
How does one utilize the imagery of Tiamat within a Luciferian

perspective? The Black Adept must seek to find what is constant within the
self; the core essence which brings a parallel to the archetype or mask'd
energy of Set and Ahriman, herein can Lilith coil herself within your mind
as Tiamat the serpent. Find a suitable place for meditation and ritual
workings, invoked her silently or with bellowed wind, allow your mind to
fall in silent communion with Her, attribute something which reflects
achieving goals when thinking of Her. When you invoke her later, or seek
to target a victim or achieve a goal, the deep well of Tiamat will spiral up
your spine to bring creative obsession, thus on a path to manifesting your
desire.
Lamashtu
A Mesopotamian prayer against Lamashtu depicts her as a child

devouring night demon, from which Lilitu and later Lilith emerged from.
Lamashtu is Sumerian/Mesopotamian in origin and may best be
considered a manifestation of the force of chaos in ancient times,
specifically both aspects of nature and humanity. Her essence is eternal but
her physical form changes.
"Great is the daughter of Heaven who tortures babies

Her hand is a net, her embrace is death
She is cruel, raging, angry, predatory
A runner, a thief is the daughter of Heaven
60
Michael W. Ford
She touches the bellies of women in labor

She pulls out the pregnant women's baby
The daughter of Heaven is one of the Gods, her brothers
With no child of her own.
Her head is a lion's head
Her body is a donkey's body
She roars like a lion
She constantly howls like a demon-dog. "-Mesopotamian Incantation
Prayer against Lamashtu
Lamashtu was said to manifest with a head of a lion, a hairy body with bare
breasts, blood stained hands and talon like feet, showed in tablets as
holding a serpent in each hand. This demoness and the form she
appeared in were not unlike the later Hebrew Lilith, whose form was
partially beast and woman. Lamashtu was considered an evil demon
goddess in her own time, whose consort was the demon of the south west
wind, Pazuzu. That mentioning that her name was written in cuneiform
suggested that she was a revered Goddess, albeit hostile and deadly.
Lamashtu enjoyed the blood and flesh of children, both unborn and
infant. She was blamed for most of the miscarriages then, so much was the
fear of her others took to wearing amulets bearing the head of Pazuzu to
protect them from her talons.
Pazuzu
A Babylonian and Assyrian demon which wandered the wastelands was

considered one of the most malefic and beneficial Gods of Mesopotamia.
Pazuzu is known to be a scavenger of the desert wastelands, a baleful
devil which holds the power of life and death. His form was foreboding, a
eagle-winged spirit, symbolizing the mastery over the element of air and the
strength of the Sun, a fleshless head of a dog, grinning and hungry, talons
on both hands and feet, a serpent headed penis and the tail of a scorpion.
His body is depicted as having scales upon it as well, representing a
physical manifestation of the very elements of the later God Angra Mainyu,
or Ahriman, of the Persian lands.
In Lenormant described in "Histoire ancienne de l'Orient" and in "The

History of the Devil", Dr. Paul Carus describes Pazuzu's influence of the
South West Wind as:
"The south-west wind in Chaldea comes from the deserts of Arabia, and its
burning breath parches everything, producing the same ravages as the
khamsin in Syria and the simoon in Africa." — Lenormant
61
A description of a tablet from Mesopotamian times presents Pazuzu a

holding the world in his clutches, restraining Lamashtu from devouring the
world further. As quoted from Paul Carus and Lenormant:
"A bronze plate in the collection of M. De Clercq contains in a synoptic

world picture a representation of hell, and it is necessary that we here give a
description of it. One side of the bronze plate is entirely occupied by a four-
footed monster, with four wings, standing on eagle's claws. Raising
himself on his hind feet, be looks as though he intended to jump over the
plate against which he leans. His head reaches over the border as over the
top of a wall. The face of the wild and roaring monster towers, on the other
side of the plate, above a picture which is divided into four horizontal
strips representing the heavens, the earth, and hell. In the top strip one
sees the symbolic representations of the celestial bodies. Underneath
appears a series of seven persons clad in long robes and having beads of a
lion, a dog, a bear, a ram, a horse, an eagle, and a serpent. These are the
celestial genii called ighigs. The third strip exhibits a funeral scene which
undoubtedly happens on earth. Two personages dressed in the skin of a fish,
after the fashion of the god Anu, are standing at the head and foot of a
mummy. Further on there are two genii - one with a lion's head, the other
with a jackal's head - who threaten one another with their daggers, and a
man seems to flee from this scene of horror. The picture of the fourth strip is
bathed in the floods of the ocean, which according to the traditional
mythology of the Chaldeans reaches underneath the foundations of
the earth. An ugly monster, half bestial, half human, with eagles' wings and
claws, and a tail terminating in a snake's head, stands on the shore of the
ocean, on which a boat is floating. This is the boat of the deity Elippu,
frequently mentioned in the religious texts and probably the prototype of the
boat of Charon in Greek mythology. In the boat is a
horse which carries upon its back a gigantic lion-headed deity, holding in her
hands two serpents; and two little lions jump to her breast to suck her milk. In
the corner there are fragments of all kinds, human limbs, vases, and the
remainders of a feast." -The History of the Devil and the Idea of Evil by Dr.
Paul Carus
Pazuzu represents balance and perception, that the earth holds forces
which both kill and bless, depending on the approach. The Black Adept
who wish to work with Pazuzu and Lamashtu in their initiatory work may
approach them as vampyric beings, Luciferian with the knowledge of both
heaven and hell but the hunger for life - force which allows their
independent existience, the Thirst for life and wisdom therein.
Molech
The God of the Israelites before the seventh century BC depicts Moloch as a
manipulation of the name Melek, meaning King. Molech was
62
Michael W. Ford
worshipped in Hinnom, called also Gehenna. This place is located in

what was called Tophet, and was considered another word for Hell. We can
see that the word which came to represent Hell, being the AngloSaxon,
Helan = a secret place, Arezura = the mountain of the north and abode of
demons, Hades = the house in the land of the dead were not connected
with a lake of fire. With the sacrifice of a child to Moloch in this place
called Hell, Moloch is credited with the Christian concept of a lake of fire,
being that Molech/Moloch was the enemy of the JudeoChristian God.
Children were placed in the fire shrouded arms of Moloch, whose screams
were heard throughout the rituals. These cries and screams were
incidently muffled by the sound of "Toph", meaning drum. Moloch, while
being a Sun god, of strength and power, was incidently a vampiric or
Luciferian God. In modern times Moloch workings would only involve the
use of semen and burnt accordingly, not literal child killings. The Black
Adept will literally visualize his own self in the form of Moloch as the Fire
or Sun God, then in the throes of night ejaculate while visualizing
health and strength within the mind and body, then allow the sperm to be fed
to the fire as sacrifice.
Gehenna is located in south-west of Jerusalem, in a valley now called

"Wadi al-Rababah.", it was considered a place of unholy fires and sulfur
smelling surroundings. Much of this area was the foundation for the
Christian conception of Hell.
Moloch later became Adramalech which is a mixture of Adar and Malik,

displaying Babylonian heritage. Moloch survived in Carthage as well. His
form was united with Malik-Baal-Kronos, being the cannibal/vampiric
God. Diodorus Siculus described in surviving texts how the
Carthaginians during a siege had sacrificed two hundred boys to Kronos.
Tezcatlipoca
The Smoking Mirror in Aztec lore, he was considered the Prince of this
World and rose from a spirit of the air to the supreme god of the Aztecs for
a period. His symbol was the black obsidian mirror which was used in
scrying. Tezcatlipoca is almost identical to the Egyptian God Set in that he
is the Adversary, one who challenges. Favors can be made with
Tezcatlipoca only by those who are willing to face terrors and overcome
them. In an initiatory sense, favors are initiation, obtainment of secret
knowledge, facing terrors is merely the struggle of Will and task at hand.
This falls into the aspect that indeed Tezcatlipoca is the God of the
Strong, of sorcerers and magicians and those who walk the path
opposing all others. This was a God of cunning, of sorcerous intent; his
Will to Power would not be ignored. According to Lewis Spence, in "The
Myths of Mexico and Peru", one of the names of Tezcatlipoca was "Yoalli
63
Ehecatl", meaning "Night Wind", which refers to his night journeys,

which people made benches of stone to offer as a resting place during his
evening journey's. Other names of Tezcatlipoca were "Nezahualpilli"
meaning "The Hungry Chief" and "Yaotzin" which is "The Enemy".
Perhaps his best known name was "Telpochtli", the "Youthful Warrior" for
which the early years of a youn g man's life were sacred to
Tezcatlipoca. He is depicted as holding within his left hand a mirror shield
which has four spear darts, his right hand holding a dart placed in what was
a spear-thrower, called an Atlatl. He is both life giver and death bri nger,
much like the image of Set in the Egyptian pantheon.
Like Set, Tezcatlipoca within his own Aztec culture was the mightiest of the
Gods, as he embraced both the darkness and light within. Many would
make pilgrimages to his temple, called Teocalli and offer worship in times of
trouble.
Huitzilopochtili
The Aztec God of War, whose words were said to be "My mission and my task
is War" was a sacrifice demanding God. It is suggested by historians that up
to 20,000 prisoners and slaves were sacrificed to Huitzilopochtili at one time,
invading Spaniards were horrified at the cults which offered blood to this
Sun god. The victim had his heart ceremoniously cut from his chest, it then
burned to offer to Huitzilopochtili.
His abobe is said to be the seventh heaven, which has blue
characteristics. This draws relation to the number seven as being
significant in Qlippothic-Hebrew magical lore, blue being the traditional
color of astral-air deities in Tibetian and Indian lore. It is said that
Huitzilopochtili was fed by the blood of sacrifice, called Chalchihuatl
which gave him strength for daily battle.
Tlazolteotl
The eater of filth and Goddess of Sex and Witchcraft is perhaps the most
suitable manifestation of Lilith/Az in the Aztec world. Tlazolteotl
represents the Left hand path aspects of witchcraft, that she is the
Goddess of all unclean behavior. She has many aspects, of maiden, crone
and all that which corrupts humanity. Yet she devours the sins of
memories of lewd behavior to those who may not be comfortable with this
later. Tlazolteotl is by all means a Left hand path model of introspection and
antinomian workings which involve Sex Magick. The name
Tlaelquani means "Filth Eater" and holds connections to the
IndianTantric Aghoris, who utilize the objects of repulsion to guide and test
one through their initiation.
64
Michael W. Ford
END
This essay has intertwined within the basic scope of Luciferian and
Satanic Magick, while not leaving a completely exhaustive study. It is
meant to open a different point of view to this forbidden area of lore. As a
practitioner, I am with confidence able to confirm the path against all
others; it is challenge and instinct wherein it dries up all need of blind
faith and pointless regard. Faith is one which truly comes from a Willed
Desire of Belief, thus creates truth from the foundation therein. At the
end of this study I must ask, what has been learnt of the Adversary
within the practice of Magick? Is the Adversary valid within modern
times from the early foundations? With reference to the practice of
Magick, the Opposer is the core column which supports all others; it is
needed and those who are able to look past the sterile Gods and Goddess of
mere sunlight may then grasp the Dual Ecstasy of the Adversary, of both
the Sun and the Moon. Magick is the gift of Iblis, and must be respected
as such unless the soul becomes devoured by its own weakness.
With reference to the second question concerning modern times the
Adversary is more so alive now as ever. This force exists through those
who affirm Satan and those who ignore this force. It is very much a part of
us and a model for that which we may become. Choose your models well,
for you may become just as they.

Chapter Two
The Grimoires of Luciferian
Witchcraft
66
Michael W. Ford
The Book of Cain

This inspired text was created under meditative and inspired
circumstances by its author, Michael W. Ford. The text is not in any way
meant to lay claim to special communications or any other contacts — but
rather a focused ritual grimoire. The work is dedicated to the Wanderer,
Cain who has passed from desert to forest to desert again. Cain may be
sought in the places where men and women fear to walk, those ghost
roads which prove dangerous to those unwilling to face their own darkest
aspects of self.
67
This Book is a Working for me, as a student of the Luciferian Path, and as
I wrote it, studied it and then prepared this text I have further come into
being. I hope those who read this work understand that it is a Ritual in
Progress, that each sentence fans the Flames of the Dragon and his
consort, Lilith, the Mother of the Witch Path. Cain has presented me with
different elements to think about and to further encourage others to
develop what is the Sabbatic and Luciferian Path. When staring into the
mirror, Cain appears - his very mask of Set-an is shown to me.
Know that the legend and myth of Cain is one of the mirrored
transformation of the self. Cain being the son of Samael and Lilith
(through Eve), the Son of the Serpent, whose fiery nature differed from his
half-brother Abel, who in the circle of the wise, can be said to
represent the uninitiated self which is Abel, the common clay. Cain was
awoken by his blood, which is that of Samael or Satan.
The murder of Abel was done so by way of encircling the energy of the
blood, Cain had killed Abel with a blade of sorts or a rock, such is not
known. What is commonly perceived is the blade, the ritual bloodletter or
athame. This metal used in the witch circle is seen as the blade forged by
Tubal Cain or Cain the Blacksmith, blessed in the fires of the Adversary or
Azazel, who is the Dragon his father. Within the circle, bound by flower,
does the blade fall symbolically, killing the unitiated self, offering this blood
to his Demon and within the circle of Darkness is Cain born and
illuminated as the possibility of a God, as he knows blood, darkness and
light. Cain takes the skull of Abel, which is to be the spirit fetish to remind
him of his antinomian nature, and go forth away from his tribe, in the
hermit like introspection to find his own True Will. He travels long and is
guided by his Demon, which leads him to Lilith. Upon being initiated
further he travels forth to the land of Nod and is met there according to
some Hereditary Witchcraft circles by the Devil, wherein he makes a pact
and becomes the first witch and Satanist.
The symbolism of Cain as the Blacksmith is revealed in the elements

which surround the role of the smith. The working of metals, the forging of
iron into weapons, armor and normally used items present in cultures
define a sense of transformation and strength, also the trespassing into the
mastery over aspects of nature itself - thus the Blacksmith is
antinomian and working the union of Daemon with flesh, thus
transformation. The Forge itself is the self, the Great Work in motion and the
fire is brought forth by Cain, the Initiatic guide, awakened by Samael and
Lilith.

Michael W. Ford
That Azazel fell from the heavens as a great star, enthroned with the
Emerald Crown of the highest aethyr, came down blazing as a fiery
meteor. He plunged to the depths of the earth, the darkest areas where no
being of light dwelled. Those who descended with Azazel, whom is called
Lucifer by later ones only had glimpsed at the Fire which Azazel had
shown unto them. The passed into the nightmare lands, where they felt lost
as their fire was nearly extinguished. Azazel woke still illuminated
brightly, a Dark Star which beheld the Fire of Heaven. When the fire fell
from the sky to the earth, did my father them perceive this world of
flesh, that both spirit and the material plane were brought together in
union.
Understanding that this Fire was illuminated within, Azazel felt a

moment of triumph, that by perceiving the self and Willing the being into
stronger forms - he was uniquely separate, isolate and beautiful. He
stood up, weakened yet still defiant and pleased at this success of this
nightmare land, he began to rouse those many that slept from the shock of
the fall around him.
Belial, the angel created after him, awoke and began to sing beautiful
hymns, such as which never sounded so sorrowful, yet touching in their
passion for their coming forth into being. Belial was indeed different from
Azazel - while Lucifer was fire and air in spirit, Belial was of Earth and
found this place comfortable and familiar. Belial said unto Azazel, "Who
would else wake and join us in this moment of triumph - that we are
without the highest Empyrean realm we now look about to understand we
are different, strong and noble in our selves. Awake with us Djinn!"
Leviathan arose before them. He had taken the form of a great Serpent, a
Dragon who beheld both sexes of human flesh - Leviathan would seek the
Oceans and understood the art of sorcery as a totality of being -
timeless and alive in its sacred flame. Leviathan found the Nightmares
comforting, and dreams would be his fluid waking within worlds.
Many others rose up and joined with my father, who is the brightest of
them all. He was Fire and his realm was Air, he was both death and life. I
remember my father as possessing Adam who rode my mother Eve as the
Dragon, driving deep within her core, enflamed with the spirit of Lilith.
These were my earth parents, but it was the blood of Azazel called often
Samael and Lilith which flows in my veins. It was this passion and
possession which brought me into being, the first born of Witch Blood in the
Circle of the Dragon's Emerald Crown.
Azazel gathered all in this secret place, which was of fire and blackened
earth. Lucifer called this place Helan, the meeting place of spirits. The
held their court here, encircled in sacred communion. Azazel spoke of
69
perception and what they wished to become and do as their own desire, they
were free. Did his mind become as the serpent, isolate and
independent - that as Flame which was sacred and beautiful, Azazel now
could understand both Good and Evil, the Darkness and the Light.
Lucifer, my Angelick initiator, my soul and father, understood that he
was both Demon and Angel, that he was beauty and ugliness. All of
those in the circle of spirits made a sacred pact to go forth into the World of
Horrors and do their Will.
Azazel, who refused to bow before common clay, the profane image of
flesh known as Man and Woman, and then found them more appealing.
Some were indeed fair, their women sensuous and their men showing a
primitive potential of being. With this in mind, they would bring the Fire to
them. Azazel and many of those Angels took by Will flesh in bodies
appealing to such women, and copulated with them. My father taught
them the sacred arts, hidden and the places of Serpents, how to work
with the earth to direct and manifest their Will. Azazel taught Man how to
hunt, fish and make weapons. He brought them the experience and
knowledge to fight and defend, as well as shelter from the elements.
I too had been instinctively taught, which is the gift of my father, who
walked the path of the dragon - who was the dragon. It was the perfected
essence of flame which earthen heat could only catch a glimpse of - that the
fires of spirit burn ever so bright, that in this torch shall my father be
revealed. Lilith who wrapped her serpents' tail around Eve's brain,
unlocked the depths of her lust and rode this Dragon until I was
conceived - that was then perfection beheld.
I walked the paths with my family, and my brother Abel was born. My
father, who was called Adam was alien to me, I knew him not but grew
under his protection. My flesh mother Eve rode again this beast, from
which Abel slept dreamless and in the fires of her lust was my sister
Naamah born. At an early age, her difference amoung the tribe was even
beyond mine, fled away from this family. I missed her but could not leave
yet. I worked the fields as a being of nothing - my brother was beheld as
beautiful. I was the dark one, considered by most - but yet I held more
questions than they. I began to see Naamah in dreams, beautiful and
grown - voluptuous as she rested with Lilith, who I sought in dreams.
They whispered chants and sweet musick to my ears, and then I would go
unto them - dawn would bring my waking into the mundane fields of my
false family, and the ridicules of Abel.
It was one day in the fields that I built an altar at the base of a tree and
then cut down my brother - I took his blood and skull before this
gateway, and called to my true father and mother - I held no love for
these who would treat me as a dead animal in their family. I would be
70
Michael W. Ford
marked again among the animals, who I could run with. I took this skull
and the spirit of Abel with it - he would walk with me forever - this was
taught to me in dreaming -
"Behold Cain, a blood filled skull bowl will show unto you that which the
profane cannot see, yet in it's veil will the path of the Red Dragon be
shown, you must come forth by dreaming to see within this bowl, and I
shall wait for you there - Cauled in the Crimson drape, veiled from the eyes
of the blind."
"Hold this skull and behold the spirits which walk with you, by
selftransformation on the meeting path shall this mark be evermore - your
father, the Dragon - Djinn of old forever walk with you, and in rapt
meditation shall we pass from the clay of mortal hands"
"You shall thirst for water and for blood; both in dreaming shall be held
from the dual gnosis. I hold the Golden Cup to your lips, that the
Dragon's elixir hold strong - I then hand to you the skull bowl of my
flowing blood, that you may taste the bitter sweetness of it's coppered
kiss - then in your ecstasy and thy devil's phallus reaching towards the Sun
shall my serpent's tongue enflame you to me .............. "
I then found myself wandering in the wilds, sleeping beneath the stars -
hunting and learning nature without any other being. I perceived myself and
what I was, what I became and what I could become. I understood life was
precious, and beautiful. I was just as Beast yet a part of Angel as well. My
dreaming guide would speak to me when I sought her, and I knew that I
would come to her. I began walking the desert sands.
I dreamt of waking and diving a great abyssic tunnel, that which crawled
from the depths of my mind, the horrid yet erotic shapes which appeared
within it. I felt my very body changing, longing for transformation into the
beasts of the field - then came an angel to me -
"Cain, who walks the lonely path, he who stands strong and defiant in the
face of nothingness, shall you continue the thorn road to meet the Hag
Queen, the sorcerous devourer of men and children - would you turn a
road more traveled to the simple life yet unknown by others?"
The tester, robed in white and flowed within a strange and familiar light
was challenging me, a very point of discovering my very inner essence,
which I could sense. I said unto him-
"Angel, who would you be to tell me of thorns and roads less traveled? I
have passed through the blood and bones of my brother, to walk within a
shadow of which I am the only God that is - dreams feed my desires and
71
I go forth among the Beasts of the fields, take yourself away from me as I
shall not resign my path, for I seek mine own Mother who would either cut
me to shreds or raise me up as God."
The Angel transformed into a very familiar dreaming body which taught me
the ways of nature, yet he was a blackened shadow which held a Spirit -
possessed knife - "Very good Cain, my Son of flesh, go forth unto your deep
desire and seek Her of the Blood of Flame...I shall walk with you again in a
familiar way, take a leaf from my book and behold the Serpent's tongue
and sight, that shall guide you unto her..."
The angel vanished, who I call father. I slept a dreamless sleep.
I continued walking; the desert sun drained my body. I ached and felt
very thirst, having little water to sooth my burning throat. I understood
what I was to do, and that nothing, save death would stop me. I could see
this leaf of the ancient book, decorated in what was dried blood,
serpents and signs of my becoming as I und erstood it. This was my
comfort in this desert sand. I felt as if I would die, but yet I could not
turn back. My being was tested, and I could not fail save the scorpions
sting which would force me to eternal dreamless sleep - the very curse of the
profane!
It was one night after many days of not finding the caves of which I
sought, not seeing a soul or any living thing - save the shades of the
earth which wander aimless. I visualized this ancient page, and with my
minds' eye I summoned the sigils to flesh, and a gate opened before me -
"Zazas, Zazas, Nasatanada Zazas"
I saw a great Red Dragon coming forth, who was surrounded with flame.
This dragon looked unto me and a great shadow emerged from its very
flesh - this shadow, black as pitch arose and took the form of a bearded
King, saying in a comely voice-
"My son, what do you ask of me?"
"My father, I grow weary, little food and water, I am confused, cold and
scared. Shall you not guide me?" I said with innate honesty.
"Cain, you grow so close yet you are honest with me - what if I told you
that your journey is in vain, and your mother and foreseen concubine lay
beyond the veil of death?"
I grew angry unto this Dragon, who I called father and said -
72
Michael W. Ford
"Then I shall walk the path of fire my self, yet she calls unto me
nonetheless. I will not resign although I am tired and cold. You shall not
bend me! Even if I must face darkness in eternity alone, I shall!"
This dragon grew in its surrounding flames and the King transformed into
an Angelic Prince, and said unto me-
"Cain, my Son of Sons, you will find your mother and sister tomorrow,
then you shall walk the path of night. By the Noon tide sun you have
walked, and with the scorpions and serpents of the desert sands have you
come forth as God. Your sign which is my sign on earth is the Pitch Fork
within the fiery Sun, that is our aged mark of being and becoming. Cain,
my son, our kin is ever deep and eternal. You are blessed in the fire of
Sathan, the Adversary. Much will be taught to you when the moment is
right."

sorcerous images which I understood came from the Gates I opened forth. I woke
in the feeling of sweat and filth from the previous day, I was refreshed yet
unclean. I killed a small animal with ease and ate in the morning light. I then
took to the desert sun yet again. I grew more tired and had very little water left
in my flask, and the sun grew in its heat. My veil which covered my head was
salt filled and gray with dirt and sand, what was once white was now soiled.
74
Michael W. Ford
By the Noon tide hour I did indeed approach what was caves, I felt a
sense of isolation here, yet I was being watched. The sea was violent and
still comforting. The air was hot with noxious heat, pouring through my
veil as I walked along, tired and aching from this desolate journey. It was
here that I heard strange noises, coming from the caves. I begin to have my
vision falter, and I grew more and more weak. In confusion and utter
exhaustion I fell to my knees, trembling in the heat of the day. I could go on
no more, stagnant and decrepit - the very sun had raped me of all of which I
was. I fell into oblivion.
I woke then in the darkness of a cave, on a padded rock ground. I was

aching yet slightly refreshed. I wondered so where I was, I had only a loin
cloth to cover me, and was chilled in the damp cave air. I heard many
voices and noises around me, I grew scared from this.
Before was She, beautiful and fiery, pale and raven haired. It was
mother, Lilith who was the Queen of Demons, yet she was so beautiful and
full of life. My mother welcomed me, and her touch was cold.

76
Michael W. Ford
passed through a Rite of Passage. I was to become immortal and forever a

spirit who walked the path of the Dragon, who was my father.
In the darkness of the caves, I grew strong again and learned arts which
were taught to me by Lilith. She was terror, yet kindness in one kiss. I
understood that she was the first wife of Adam, who then drank of the
serpent's wisdom and became immortal in the shadows, she walked
between time.
I learned how to extend and make flesh my shadow, and desires — that I
slowly became like my father, who was the Prince of the Air and of
Flame. Lilith showed me the knowledge of dreams, how she may always
speak to me from this in-between time. I first understood the ecstasy of
transformation, of become like a beast, and of flight. Mother Lilith
summoned great shadows which obeyed her, and I learned how they may
obey me as well. After a period of working with such arts, Lilith then
revealed a darker path.
Lilith drank the blood of man, and bred her children from their seed,
taken from nocturnal congress with those sleeping. Desert travelers were
drained of life and their children were given to her vampyric children to
grow strong. Lilith opened the gates for Arezura, called the secret place,
and the great shadow Ahriman came before me. I took the mark of the
beast and Lilith's mark, being the bloodied caul.
Lilith bathed in blood, and grew strong and comforted from it. She was
isolate and beautiful. Kind and pale features would caress one who
feared her, then her hand would become blackened talons, covered in
course gray hair, and her face become contorted in demonic ecstasy — I
grew in lust for her, this Goddess who was both beauty and bestial
hunger in the same visage, she would cut the throat of those who feared her,
and drink and bath in their life force. Lilith taught me the arts of the
Vampyre, and prepared my spirit and flesh to walk between the world. The
True Mark of Ahriman was given, and I passed between the light to the
shadows. Upon waking in the sand, I could face again the sun, yet see
equally as well in the moonlight.
Lilith soon brought my sister-wife Naamah before me, and she was veiled
and beautiful as Lilith. She was to join with me, and that we may grow
strong our family. I learned also from Naamah, who departed soon after.
She returned back to shadows, where she would remain in the dragon's
coils and be immortal, and life never ending.
It was within the circle, that Lilith showed to me that which I may make my
life never ending; much was presented to me, which I found
illuminating. That body is the vessel of manifestation, the marriage of
77
Light and Darkness. The circle of summoning is the extent of self, and the
fire which surrounds is the circle of fiery Will and Spirit of the Spirit.
Lilith showed me the art of the Sabbat, and how I may become Al-Aswad at
Will. The shadow was grown and made strong by the arts of Ahriman, who
was as darkness. The Beast became human flesh, and I was able to become
both. I was brought in union and great ecstasy the harmony of the celestial
heights of my father's realm, being the Air and Fire. I was also shown and
taught the arts of the lower realm, called a secret place known as Arezura,
that shadow and flame was the mastery over the
earth.
I was blessed again with

the Mark of Cain which is
the distinct mark of our
Lord the Devil, which is
the self in perpetual
opposition which breeds
strength and development.
The Mark of the Devil was
the initiation mark of
Azazel and Lilith, which
may come as Caul or Birth
Mark, this may be passed
through the circle from my
being touching the initiate, or
Lilith who is strong in both
shadow and flame.
I then took forth to the

great deserts, with the
blessing of Lilith and the
Dragon itself. I was the
Lord of the Forge, the
Blacksmith of Infernal and
Celestial Fire, the rider of
the dragon and bringer of
sorcerous knowledge. I,
Cain, who learned the
wisdom of the devouring
goddess, the Harlot made
Virgin and the Virgin made
Goddess, and have faced
the hungering shades of
Ahriman, who blessed me
in the dreams and
78
Michael W. Ford
nightmares of the wise. I, Cain, who sipped of the Emerald Grail and the
Skull Cup of the Dragon-Goddess, did I taste the pleasures of the Harlot,
walk the earth forever. I am the wandered, and many forms I will take.
That even that I have left flesh shall my spirit dwell on, that I who have
embraced the Black Flame just as Set-an of Egypt, that I shall dwell in the
places of the earth lest seen, but in this path one may find me.
By forest or desert some may call me, and I may answer calls of initiation
into the Circle of the Witch — Born. In the fire of the Adversary do I walk
for eternity, my father's soul illuminating those who seek me. I am
Vampyre and I am the Sorcerer of Light from the Serpent's tongue.

The Invocation of Cain

-The Blackened Fires of the Forge-
Cain is the earthen initiator of Magick, the sorcerous enfleshed spirit of

Lucifer and Lilith, Cain is also the one who walks with the Dragon - the path
of the Nightside. In one hand is the fetish of Cain - the skull of Abel whom
holds the gnosis of the Shade King, Azrael, the Western Gate of Twilight
and realm of ghosts. The other hand is the Hammer, a tool of the forge which
sparks the Cunning Fire in the clay of mortal flesh. Cain is the Temple
maker and Witch Begetter, that which opens the gates of Hell and Heaven,
the initiator of Witch Blood. Cain is envisioned as a Middle Eastern Man,
bearded and dark, wisdom filling his eyes. Cain is also viewed as a
bearded and horned human-beast, covered in gray and green earth, who is
decorated with human and animal bones, his familiars.
Tubal Cain became as in flesh a dragon

In the nights when earth was young
By the fierce red flame of his furnace black
The strokes of his hammer sparked that within was called wise.
And the red sparks lit the air, which was dedication to Azazyl
81
,
Cain is by his own design, the master of the forge, the blacksmith who
would light the fire in the clay of man. His task is not a simple one, yet as
the immortal wanderer - he will not fail where the Gods have spoke
through the flesh of the living. To understand Cain you must transcend
normal conscious thought to a Gnosis which stands above and below
human thought and streams of time. This is what would be commonly
called as Daemonic
Time, when the
psyche is encircled
in being yet is
unaware of normal
time strains. For the
initiate, this is the
time of dreaming
when the Psyche
perceives its being by
action and reaction,
yet in its own
phantasm of self it
does not
acknowledge
common time as a
waking individual
would.
Cain is the body and

mind of the Dragon
in flesh, he is the
reborn Antichrist,
the loner and
nomadic spirit who
holds no master save
himself, he speaks
the wisdom of Belial,
the kinship of
Asmodeus, the inner
fire of the Peacock
Angel - Lucifer. In
the depths of the
Eyes of Cain, Lilith's
primal
concupiscence and
vampyric shadows
awaken in Cain. The initiation mark of Cain is the sigil marked in blood
on the brow, the Caul of birth which in folklore reveals the Vampyre. The
82
Michael W. Ford
symbols of the wanderer are unmistakable, the Witch who after initiation
views such a mark and symbol have again a rush or inspiration, such as a
fan which stirs fire with air, the spirit of Lucifer rushing forth and
illuminating higher the flames within. Cain's symbols are the Hammer and
the Forge, the forked stave which is the gift of
AzazelShaitan/Azal'ucel from the flames of the Sun, the Eye and the
Lightning Bolt, a symbol of Hecate - Lilith and the Dragon.
Cain is sought in the hidden places of the earth, for he is the ancient and
knows the unknown secrets of the earth. Cain also appears as the
wizened old man, robed and hooded who walks the path of old - oak
ways within the fog. He carries a book of art, given with the belt of the
devil - by those rites Cain became the Witch - father, born of Azazel and
Lilith.
Cain is the Adversary of flesh, who causes storms and chaos - just as Set or
Ahriman, his father of old. Within the scope of Luciferian Witchcraft, Cain
is consider a cipher of the witch, the first one within the circle, the founder
by blood of the sorcerous path. Cain must be viewed as one of the original
Sons of Satan, he was by birth, different and isolate from the others.
As with The Toad Rite, while Ahriman is made reference to, it is Cain
behind the earthen mask of this shadowed initiator. Practice well in the
light of Diabolus. Cain is also traditionally viewed as the Witch Father
who blessed the Athame or Ritual Knife by the metal from a fallen
meteor, or Lucifer's Forge and flame consecrates the blade of sorcery.
You may wish you bless your Athame in the way described in Goetic
Sorcery, it is a dedication rite in which the imagination charges the work
itself - By Will - Desire - Belief is your work wrought upon the Dragon's
Jagged Spine.
Cain tests those upon the path and blesses those who may answer his
riddles.
It is indeed Cain who would feed ones soul to the wolves of the shadows,
when the Will is weak. It is Cain who as the silent initiator shall bless his
children as Sons and Daughters of Satan and Lilith, those who are
clothed in the skin of serpents, who are born of the boar and the wolf,
whose dreaming body is the owl, cat or bat and the essence is of a fiery and
blackened dragon.
Invoke Cain in isolation and within the circle of those who are of the mark
Isola ion is a silent wisdom from which the fountain is never dry - seek with
the cup of Emerald, the stone which fell from the crown of eternal fire.

Casting the Shadow of Cain

This is a small ritual designed to imbibe the sorcerer with a focused
Cu:-rent of being, the dedication of the path of Cainnite Antinomianism.
One may use the Grand Sabbatic (Luciferian) Circle as a means of
Antinomianian Self-Deification, Immolation of the Spirit by the
as ;umption of the mask of the Witch-Begetter, Cain the Blacksmith.
"I call forth the infernal shadows which nourish my body and soul; I
invoke the circle which empowers my form of being,
From the North, I invoke the force of Set, being my shadow of self Let
the Blackened Flame illuminate from this very Forge!
From the West, I invoke the force of Anubis, the Opener of the Way Let
the Violet Light of the Dead empower my Spirit!
From the South, I invoke the force of Thoth, whose lamp illuminates my path
Let the Fires of Wisdom and Self-Discover Guide my path!
From the East, I invoke Horus-Seth, being the fire and strength of spirit
Reveal thy essence as Azal'ucel, the Fiery Djinn of Change and Rebellion!
Cain, bringer of the cauldron of change and self transformation do protect

my very being of self, that I may grow and ascend in our family born of
Witch Blood pure.
I seek the coils of Leviathan, The Darkened Grave earth of Ahriman and the
Dream plane of Lucifer. Allow the gates to open before me!"
85
I encircle myself in the Dragon's coils; the Beast of my father arises within! I
hold the Skull of Abel, being the vessel of my Familiar!
I hold the Hammer of the Forge, which I spark the Cunning Fire of
Becoming!
My eyes hold the desert tales of ages forgotten; while my flesh fades my
spirit is immortal!
I wear the crimson caul of my mother, Lilith, who speaks with me through
dreams!
I carry the serpent's skin of Azal'ucel, my Holy Spirit! I
am Cain, loner and Witch Soul of the Immortal Fire!
So it is done!
In the Circle of Cain does the Devil take flesh

By the hammer, skull-fetish and forked stave does thy Will announce
Weave thy magick in the Sun and the Moon, both shadows shall cast With
thy bride are Dragon-Children Born
When Lilith spreads her bloodstained legs
To invoke the Serpent and Beast

Mix thy fluid with the menstrual blood of thy partner
Upon the Sigil of Shaitan of Midnight

Cain - Fetish - A Record of Creation
87
Let the Witch who has worked within the fiery essence and dreaming
flight of Cain seek the inspiration of the Devil by means of a fetish.A
fetish is something like a storehouse or 'home' of magical power, or
energy associated with the coven or individual practitioner. Such an item is
made powerful by working with it continually and slowly building its
power. The attributes and items used in making a fetish is essential in
how the item will be used. The author created a totem-like fetish for Cain who
is known as the Black Man of the Sabbat. The human skull
generally represents the "house" of Cain, from which I have upon my own
altar in front of a Baphomet statue next to the Lilith vessel. This stick is
branded with the sigils of Cain and Lucifer, including the Sigil of
Evocation used in the Toad Rite undertaken last year. The fetish is made
from the following items, granted to the Black Adept by omen and
chance-
1. Coyote/dog skull (sacred of Hecate and a beast of the earth under

traditional Cainite rule), the skull is coated in my own blood used to
consecrate the fetish in a fetish-nganga pot I still use (rested in grave
soil) .
2. A human spine - base bone upon the head of the dog skull, which
holds the Black Flame of Shaitan (considered the higher essence of Cain
in our Luciferian circle)
3. Two jaw bones hang from the skull, one being the dog jaw, the other the
jaw bone of my beloved cat-fetch who passed some time ago.
4. Under the skull, leather is wrapped and adorned with snake skin.
The fetish was empowered over a period of time with blood and sexua1
fluids, utilized by Coven Malefica until finally put together and charged
over a period of one moon.

"And in the secret cave of my wisdom it is known that there

is no God but myself'
89
-Qu'ret al-Yezid, the Revelation of Malak Tauus
The perception of Lucifer is to seek light, wisdom and higher articulation of

being through developing and understanding self-consciousness. In the
instance of witchcraft, it is specifically a magickal art of
transformation by not only self-directed means, but also influences via
nature and earthen inspired streams of imagination. A Luciferian does not
embrace alone either Light or Darkness, the Luciferian focuses upon the
Antinomian Path of Cain, the Solitary and self-motivated magician41 who
by the Left Hand Path42 seek to continually develop the self in a model
of Lucifer43 who fell from Light of Selflessness to taste the pleasures
and knowledge of darkness, who in turn learned the wisdom of the Crooked
Dragon" By the predilection of being on the Left Hand Path, the mind is
considered "Luciferian" in perception - a state of being in continual
change and progression. Look now to the Imagination45 for the entry into
the Witches Sabbat, leave the flesh and come forth to the Forge of Cain
41 Sometimes referred to as Black Magickian. The Term BLACK represents Wisdom, not ill inspired intent.
Please refer to the Arabic root FHM, meaning Black or Wisdom. This is the basis of the Sabbatic Goat as the
Torch Bearer, which signifies knowledge and intelligence.

SelfDissolution.

The Witches Sabbat
Behind the initiatory models of what is called Diabolism, lies a plethora of

shapes and forms for any initiate to move through. The gate of the Left
Hand Path is indeed a dangerous way as it inaugurates and initiates
change - internal and external. In the rational consciousness the mind is
aligned with the specifics and maps ingrained in the psyche from early
childhood. These models sometimes morph and transform with the
maturing mind; but rarely are broken free from. This may be observed in
the individual who from a child grows up believing in some form of
Christian dogmatic ideals, worship or punishment, the God above and Hell
below. He in his late teens or early twenties rebels from the "norm" of
Christianity and adopts a so-called "Satanic" or even an Atheistic belief
system. By the time he becomes old, 50's plus he begins reverting
91
back to the Christian beliefs which were embedded from his childhood He
dies a "Christian" due as he views his body crumbling and his fear grow
close - he is not sure of himself or what he has done with his life The Will
grows broken through years of having the "safety net" of Jesus.
The Left Hand Path however in modern times questions and tests, it
offers a treasure upon treasure of knowledge and wisdom through
experience, it builds and summons forth hidden gods and sleeping
beasts, it challenges and destroys those who flinch in the face of the
Adversary - in short it is dangerous. The Left Hand Path is indeed
dangerous because it can destroy the perceptions of the condition of
human belief structures - it can free the psyche but the shock of this
liberation is sometimes too much to bear. Sorcery can de stroy as it is
rather simple to abuse, and invoke the demons of your extreme desires to
devour you. The Left Hand Path is not an easy one.
Let us first observe the nature of the Left Hand Path. Specifically, it is the
Antinomian (non-union or isolation from the Natural Order) path of
SelfDeification (Self-Godhood). By this definition, the individual views his or
her self alone and able to rely only on his or her developing psyche for the
creations of comfort, challenges and the responsibility of invoking
positive change. Moderation is also a certain factor of success. It is easy to
abuse the Gifts of the Devil when he presents them; it is even easier to create
situations for you eventual self-destruction by actions you take now. Be
thoughtful before your actions.
It is essential that the practitioner of the Left Hand Path is able to master the
path of inner Black Magick or what can be called High Sorcery or Magick
before one undertakes lower forms. The True Self must be sought, the
Desire and Will within the self - the Imagination in Controlled Study
and Introspection. The "Congressus cum Daemone" will reveal your True
Nature, both often a Beast and an Angel. Some view this as an exterior spirit,
but rather more correctly it is an interior force; one which appears so
strange at first to your level of consciousness you will find it easier to label
it an exterior force.
The definition of Angel is a Higher Faculty of Man, according to

Ghhazali46 it is intelligence and matured control, the very careful
planning and stillness of being which is energetic and solar, strong and the
very fountainhead of self-development and progressive being. It is the seat of

desire, lust and sexual passion. It is the animalistic and passionate

essence which resides in the skull of man. It is the continual Goal and
point of the Left Hand Path to develop both aspects and unite them as a
developed Luciferian Perspective - to be independent but not allowing
"nature" or imbalance within the mind to destroy you. Often, more so than
not, we are our own worst enemy.
As you adopt a model such as the Witches Sabbat as your initiatory

focus, keep in mind the many origins which represent the foundation of the
rite itself. Christian witch hunters may have indeed fabricated many
of the stories of the Sabbat, much of the sexual manifestations of that
time with accordance to demons and such, but do not loose the point of
which we expand from their writings. If you are Christian or not, by
utilizing the imagination47 in Adverse areas you are displaying to Left
Hand Path principles 1) The self described Antinomian events which
indicate isolate consciousness and intelligence, a sense of the forbidden
2) By inventing such aspects of the Sabbat and the Devil, they fleshed out a
powerful and Adverse initiatory model of Luciferian Self-Deification. We
have in fact become their demons by expanding from this practice. The
same may be said in current times, those who walk secrecy in the
Religious Path of Self-Destruction (i.e. Christianity or the Right Hand
Path) laugh at those who point their fingers and invent our evils, have also
a duty of fighting or toying with the Religious Nazis of Christianity. We
openly support same sex marriages48, the slow and careful
destruction of the Church and the principles of "Responsibility for the
Responsible"49 to the masses. Modern times have different measures of
practice; however the Luciferian must never sacrifice the deep values of the
beauty of Life and the search for intelligence and self-excellence. Keep
in mind, Violence has always been the Christian Way when they cannot
intellectually force their will upon others.
Thus rituals such as "The Ritual of the Holy Guardian Angel, Azal'ucel" or
"The Ritual of the Adversary" are designed Black Magickal or High
Sorcery dealing with the most dangerous type of Self-Deification -
Becoming and developing the Self. The rite tests and proclaims change,
when ecstasy is reached by invocation over and over, or mantric

By supporting such, you confirm every individual has a Life Given Right to do their Will as long as it
does not adjure or step over another's. Christians ignore and put themselves above the Right of "To each his
own" or "Do what thou Wilt", instead propagating bigotry through dirt covered mirrors of a shriveled savior
no longer reflective of the "bigger picture" of the world today.

The Witches Sabbat is a system or model of Left Hand Path Sell T:

Deification; it is the separation from the Natural Order or Right Han

and propagating self-development over a stretched out period of time
The God forms of the Luciferian and Witches Sabbat Path are Masko
and Anthropomorphic energies and collections of power. Thus Lucifer
Cain, Lilith, Ahriman, Leviathan and such are all Gateways of Powe
from which the initiate passes through.
All symbols, objects, sigils and other talismans including statues ani TI

with the very power envisioned within them - to transform, to curse, t :
invoke imagination and inspiration. tl
sc
The Witches Sabbat is thus a model of self-deification. The Sabbat is an Iv
image from which the Mind and Psyche is free from the r estraints of ec
mundane reality and the flesh. The spirit takes the form that is so A
desires at the moment, joins with familiars and other demonic forms and
goes forth to a place which centralizes the imagination in an infernal
sense - the Devil is by this standard a mirror of the liberated mind
awaiting confirmation of self-belief and the desire to becoming somethirg w
else. Remember, throughout history the Devil has always been a shag is
shifter, no common form may stay for too long.

hopefully a clearer one - Know Thyself in the Great Work and you shall E

Helf- The cult of the "double horned" ones according to Shah were attributed
and to worship of the moon. These "double horned" ones would gather on
King Thursday nights, their initiation was having a small wound cut on their
.me. body, this sacred knife was called the al-dhamme, which means
ked `bloodletter'. The word Athame is said to have derived in part from this
ifer, term. The Two-Horned ones would gather at the Az-Zabbat, the "forceful

aswad (the Black Man) while reciting Moslem prayers backwards.

sorcerers. They would beat drums and with their kafans on, would chant
Iwwaiy which would be recited to the beating of the drums. At a point of
an ecstasy they would remove their masks or kafans and the Master of the

his buttocks and was thus a form of the Adversary-Opposer. Witches
would kiss both sides, thus receiving initiation by a Mark given by the
devil. In Scotland the Black Man of the Sabbat would appear as a black
robed figure, with a hat or often in a grotesque form, a nose of a beak,

it is by a conceptual standpoint, an antinomian act which produces the

The Peacock Angel and Black Snake
"I was, and am now, and will continue unto eternity,

ruling over all creatures and ordering the affairs and
deeds of those who are under my sway. I am
presently at to such as trust in me and call upon me in
time of need, neither is there any place void of where I
am not present"
-KITAB el-JELWA, the Book of Revelation
The so-called Devil Worshippers known as the Yezidis52 have two

symbols which relate to their Tribe, a Black Snake and the Peacock. The
Peacock itself in known in Islamic lore, being a bird which fell with Azazel to
earth as "Shaitan's bird" and in Zoroastrian Lore as Ahriman creating the
Peacock to show that he could - if he wished - create beauty but chose
darkness. The Peacock Angel, known as Malak (meaning King, a word
associated with Sufi) and Tauus (Peacock) represents Shaitan or Azazel
the Fire Djinn. The term Angel is accordance to such lore is that Angels are
the Higher Aspect, or Faculties of Man.
The symbol of the Snake is blackened with soot. The word itself holds a key
to its meaning, black is from the word FEHM (which means charcoal) and is
related to the Arabic root FHM, being Wisdom or Knowledge. The Black
Snake and Peacock represent the "Wisdom of Life".
"Then the Great Lord, Malak Tauus, said to the angels, "I want to create
Adam and Eve and make them give rise to mankind. Of the seed of Adam
there shall be born a Prophet, and from him shall descend a people on the
earth; the the people of me, Malak Tauus, and these people are to be the
Yezidis"

he self-developmental areas of being. The Witches Sabbat may be conducted

in dreaming avenues, if the magician so desires. The model of the
Witches Sabbat in a dreaming sense should start with a visualization of
the Crossroads. The Crossroads have for long been considered a place of
great magickal power. It is the place of Hecate, the Triple Goddess which
is the gathering of shades and ghosts; many have evoked her there in the
crossroads. It is also the place of where Faust summoned
Mephistopheles, who came forth from the forest before him. The
Crossroads is the place where you visualize and focus your mind towards
before sleep - you may also visualize and X or a + as the meeting place of
the Dreaming Sabbat.
The imagination is the ultimate key of the Black Magician or Sorcerer

vo who seeks to go forth to the Sabbat - it is the vehicle of self-assumption
ae of deific forms or masks of lycanthropy. When preparing for the Dream
:el Sabbat, decorate your temple or sleeping area in accordance with that
ig which reminds you of a Sabbat - images from old grimoires, sigils,
ut demonic images, masks or other elements which aid the Working. The
a most important however is the control of the mind. Sit comfortably before
or and clear all thoughts. Begin a slow chant which you know that
at àctivates' the imagination towards the Sabbat.
Use the Five Senses to activate and aid this transformative 'in-between'
a state - hearing, sight, smell, touch and taste. Have some pleasant Sabbat
ti) incense and perfect lighting in place, have sigils and images which
le invoke this place in the mind. Your goal is to align the senses with the
focus of the Going forth by Night - that is by harmony with the Willed
choice of desire. Preparing for the Sabbat by decorating and proper self-
! alignment creates a heightened inner excitement for the initiatory act
itself - thus allowing the success to occur, a seeming self-permission!
The Sabbat is a subjective experience, from which you are alone and
surrounded by the shades and familiars of your own design. Early on
you will discover during waking hours elements of yourself you wish to
change and common traits or self-associations or perceptions you will
slowly understand through the process of change. Be accepting and use
this as a permission to become! The Witches Sabbat is used for many
purposes - it is for self-deification, exploration, shape shifting and a
heightened gnosis state - it breaks through mystery and reveals a new
perception, you become "like" the Devil or "Adversary", you grow close to
Hecate and Lilith, and you gain a more direct focus of Magickal Will. The
Sabbat is also used for Spells and Sexual Workings as well - a Sabbat
experience with a partner is perhaps one of the most ecstasy inducing
acts that can be shared by two people - or more if that is your "bag". The
Sabbat may also be used to curse and bless, all which spirals and acts
as a spring - the very magickal principle the Staota is in the Second
97
Edition of Yatuk Dinoih. Do not invite the initiated into the Circle of the
Witches Sabbat, for the Ensorcelment of Cain will devour them and curse
them in whole. Such an experience if ever shared must be between two
understanding initiates - self-initiated or otherwise. Remember, the
Sabbat goes back to the Antinomianian principle of Luciferian
selfdeification. It is a path of knowledge through clarity - this clarity is
discovered by those who are focused on moving past mystery, a major
point of the beginning of what lies hidden.
Waking
The Waking aspect of the Witches Sabbat is that of solitary or Coven

agreement of self-transformative magick. This is done by confirmation of
standards which are present in the ritual area. Some build a bonfire in the
woods, near a crossroad or area appropriate. It is pertinent that the Five
Senses are appeased and aligned with the focus of the rite. The
Maskhara of the Middle East would blacken their faces, wear animal
masks and through dance create invoke a strong ecstasy which along
with the alkaloid used in an ointment, would cause sensations of flying.
You may wish to use the Waking Rite as a means of practicing spells and
sending forth the desires of the group. The Waking Sabbat is also a
means of growing more connected with the other practitioners, wh ich
forms an allegiance with what is known as a group mind. This is useful in
spells and low sorcery, the unity of several independent psyches
focusing on one goal will no doubt create a desired effect.
Widdershins are movements around the circle in an anti clockwise

dance. Some witches may find it useful to recite the Lord's Prayer
Backwards while moving widdershins in the beginning of the Sabbat
Rite, this allowing or 'giving permission' to the nature of the Working
itself.
In Nox Umbra the "Invocation of the Vampyre Queen, Lilith" utilizes a

bloodied or red cloth, sometimes stained with menstrual blood if
possible. This may be used to cover the head in the Sabbat Ritual Dance,
thus through movement and excitement; the lack of oxygen itself for a
short period will create ecstasy without the outside use of alkaloids or
other drugs.
When using the Waking Sabbat rite for spell casting or sorcery, you will
want to have a clear idea of what you want to achieve. You will also want to
create or adopt a sigil which holds connection to the goal - or it may
represent the desire of the spell. You may also use a Mantra or phrase
which holds significance to the same. As you perform the rite, with the
decorated chamber or even in the woods, envision the demons and
98
Michael W. Ford
familiars in your company and the spirits carrying your Will to become
Flesh. As your rite comes to a climax, loose all desire in the sigil at the
moment of exhaustion. If you have a sigil for the working, destroy it and
forget it - the rite should then be enjoyed as a "walking in the
crossroads" or in-between worlds.

Luciferian Witchcraf t - The Book of the
Sabbat and Sexual Magick

The Infernal
1 00
Michael W. Ford
Sexual Magick is significant in the Witches Sabbat as it allows liberation of

self on numerous levels. If partners agree, Sex Magick may be a part of the
rite itself - either a Luciferian (Self-Deification or High
Sorcery/Magick) or Infernal (Low Sorcery, Lycanthropy). If used in the
Rite, you may complete the Widdershins dance around the circle and then
the couple may focus on sexual congress. With every movement, both will
focus on the Goal of the Rite - be it casting a spell or invoking a Daemon
into the minds of the practitioners. In the Luciferian Sabbat, the couple may
use autoerotic techniques to invoke the Azal'ucel Angel, their guide of the path
(Higher Self or True Will) or a mutual focus of sexual congress to
summon forth the Initiatic Guide. As with the Left Hand Path the witch or
warlock will focus on self-directed energies stimulated by the activity, thus
the imagination brought to a high level on concentration.
Sabbat Lycanthropy is also useful in Sexual Magick. The practitioners will

mentally and visually shape shift during their circle dance, from when
the primal and bestial atavism is brought to the surface, they may unite in
congress. Demons have always been viewed as being able to participate
in Sabbat Rites throughout the Middle Ages. While this may indeed only be
imagined in old Christian levels, those initiated to these mysteries may
understand the reality of this via the Succubi and Incubi.
The member of the demon in the rite is always considered cold. In 1572
Eva of Kenn admitted she had intercourse with a demon, and that it was as
cold as an icicle. Johan Klein in 1698 suggested women believed this as it
was happening in dreams, and Guazzo suggested that the Cold Semen
was actually taken from other night revelers of the Sabbat. Sylvine de
la Plaine who was twenty three when she admitted happily to her Sexual
Relations with the "Devils Emissary"53 and was burned in 1916 in Paris.
She had admitted that the Devil's member was like that of a horse, and when
inserted was cold and injected ice cold semen. When it was withdrawn it
burned her like fire.
Others had suggested the Devil or Black Man of the Sabbat had other
talents. A description of the Devil's member was that it was sinuous,
pointed and snake like. Sometimes it was made half or iron and half of
flesh. It could also be made completely of a horn as well, sometimes
forked as a tongue. There were suggestions that the demon could
perform coitus and pederasty (i.e. Sodomy) at once, with a third member in
his lovers mouth.
As described in "A Rite of the Werewolf"54 the definition of the Infernal

Sabbat is, "The Infernal Sabbat, being the Antinomian self-love rite of

sexual and psyche oriented self-deification, allows the passing of

shadow of the witch into an Averse and more powerful state of being.
The Infernal Sabbat is one when the witches and sorcerers take to mas and
imagined or visualized lycanthropy, when they are joined with the demons
and other familiars around the circle, by dream or waking Sabbat - such
is a reality which is very pertinent to the practitioner - it is a vivifying and
realistic experience, with results ending in the succe of the desire.
As an early Latin tract indicates, the Arras Witches held numerou

sexual relations with demons as described in the following from 1460-
"At the Sabbats of the Vaudois, the presiding

devil took aside the neophyte and carried her off
to one side of the grove, so that in his own
fashion he might make love to her and have
carnal knowledge of her; to whom he said
maliciously that he would lay her down on the
ground supporting herself on her two hands and
feet, and that he could not have intercourse with
I
her in any other position; and that was the way
the presiding devil enjoyed her, because at the t
first sensation by the neophyte of the member of
the presiding devil, very often appeared cold and
V
soft, as very frequently the whole body. At first he
a
put it in the natural orifice and ejaculated the
spoiled yellowing sperm, collected from nocturnal Y
emissions or elsewhere, then in the anus, and in T
this manner inordinately abused her ...... upon her fc

being extinguished, each one at the order of the 0]
presiding devil takes his partner and has
intercourse. Sometimes indeed indescribably S(
outrages are perpetrated in exchanging women, rn
by the order of the presiding devil, by passing on
i
n
a women to the other women and a man to other s(
men, an abuse against the nature of women by bi
both parties and similarly against the nature of
men, or by a woman with a man outside the If
regular orifice and in another orifice..." m
al
In the Compendium Maleficarum, Guazzo suggested the following thec
55
•
102
Michael W. Ford
"For devils can assume the bodies of dead men,

or re-create for themselves out of air or other
elements a palpable body like that offl esh, and to
these they can impart motion and heat at their will.
They can therefore create the appearance of sex
which they do not naturally have, and abuse
men in a feminine form and women in a
masculine form, and lie on top of women or lie under
men; and they can also produce semen which they
have brought from elsewhere, and
imitate the natural ejaculation of it."
Many suggested Succubi and Incubi55 take semen from nocturnal

emissions, or some incubi squeezed semen out of corpses. When the
Devil appeared at the Sabbat, especially in the form of a Goat-Man or
Black Man (Black Ash or covered in Mud) his member would be as large as
a mule's, being as thick as possible, and would cause all of the
presiding witches to be enflamed with lust, that each may know the devil in
this way.
Demoniality (copulation with demons) is an act of High Sorcery, as it

brings the consciousness of the wizard or witch to a level which exalts the
self above the basic psychological functions of modern society.
Demoniality is the union of the flesh with the Daemon, in much the same
way as The Ritual of Azal'ucel brings one in communication with their
angel.
You may also create Succubi and Incubi to copulate with by dreams. This
is done simply by creating a sigil or image which represents the form you
desire. The more advanced sorcerer may invoke by some means of ritual a
daemon or spirit intelligence. You visualize the sigil and then forming the
body according to your carnal desire. You will then masturbate or
use other means of self-stimulation, all the while focusing on the demon in
question. At the moment of ejaculation or organism anoint the sigil with
the elixir. You may bind the sigil with a pouch or some way of cover,
along with proper oils attributed to the daemon. You may also bury the
pouch if you wish, when seeking copulation or inspiration; simply
focus upon the sigil itself. You will notice dreaming
xual congress, which may awaken you aroused. To destroy the spirit, urn
and cover the pouch and contents with salt.

However this is done, great care should be made in keeping the gnosis
itself pure, that by Night or "Noctanter56" shall the Sabbat be made
Flesh. Focusing on the purpose of the rite is essential no matter what you
feel or sense around you in the widdershins dance of ecstasy. Keep in mind
that also the rational mind and consciousness can be shattered in the
Infernal or Luciferian Sabbat, things you may have thought were mere
stories will be revealed to you first hand, thus shaking previous
foundations of what you considered 'truth'.

You may now all begin focusing on the purpose of the rite, with mantras
and ravenous and barbarous chants uttered from the blackened robes you
may be wearing, allow dance to guide you towards the Daemon you seek to
become, a flowing of fiery energy under the cloak of darkness. If wearing
the Caul, ecstasy will take you by a willed and controlled desire, focus upon
your sigil and soon forget it in you consciousness. The Ritual should end in
passion and exhaustion. If attending a dreaming Sabbat, these steps should
be followed as well. Keep a diary by your bedside for a clear record upon
waking.
It is possible in the Infernal Sabbat to visualize the Osculum Infame, the

Òbscene Kiss" of the Devil or Man in Black. If the rite is solitary, or
before dreaming, you may visualize going before the Sigil of Desire, being
the Devil, and announce-
"I deny Christianity and the Path of Self-

Disillusion, I affirm Life and Flesh, I affirm
Spirit and Desire, I seek the path of sorcery
and the knowledge of being. I kiss the
reversed and Opposing Face of Shaitan, that by
Darkness I shall awaken to the Light of Self-
Love and the Wisdom of the Black Flame."
With regard to the Witches Sabbat, it is pertinent to follow the basis of the
Witches Pyramid- To Know, To Will, To Dare, To Keep Silent. Those who
you make reference to regarding the rite must never know the depth of the
rituals, as they are meant to be kept from prying eyes, and such rites are
Self-Transformative, therefore of the Highest Significance as means of Self-
Deification.
Luciferian Sabbat
The Luciferian Sabbat is best described as High Sorcery and Angelick
Magick. It illuminates and stimulates further the imagination, the higher
faculties of man and woman. Such a Sabbat differs from the Infernal
Sabbat in that it is more Aethyr or Astral Based, Air and dreamlike
space. The Luciferian Sabbat is the gathering of spirits and the psyche set
free; liberation and being within the very circle of Leviathan, the
Crooked Serpent of Ageless existence.
Lucifer is the model of the Celestial or sometimes called Empyrean Rite as

it is a focusing on Self-Transformation through Willed Direction; the Black
Magician driven by self-determined goals to become something and
109
transform into a Godlike state. This requires isolation, introspection and an

honesty which is both complimenting and insulting. As the Infernal Sabbat
is the Mastery of the Earth, the Luciferian Sabbat is the Mastery of the
Spirit and the Psyche.
Lucifer is the First Born Son of the Limitless Light, Ain Soph or God
Azazel as his name is revealed is a Djinn or High Angel of Fire, thus self
influenced and strong in Will. Lucifer fell from the highest abodes

and Abyss. With him fell other angels, Leviathan, Be

They had sensed a spark of self-deific power, the Black Flame Black
Light of Iblis". This indicated isolate intelligence, unnatural life.
Lucifer fell to the Earth and into the Abyss he fell into a state of
sformation - as a Djinn of Fire, first born and favored of God, he
erstood the highest principles of Light. Now Lucifer would develop the
t of his being called Noctifer, thus Ahriman sprang forth through
shadow. Noctifer was awakened from a slumber by the First Bride of ,
called Az - Lilith. She was fiery, bestial, vampyric and a demoness
insatiable lust. She awoke Ahriman (or Noctifer) and by this
ulation he kissed her, causing menstruation. She joined soon with
tan/Samael the Dragon and spawned Cain. Ahriman or Noctifer
dered the Earth and learned its many secrets; he could do so with d
and cunning. He taught further in the form of Azazel men and men
about warfare, weapons, armor to the opposites such as make up d
sorcery. Azazel was now Shaitan, his shadow doctrine of witchcraft s of
Ahriman the Dragon, Shaitan had now transformed into a sense
continually progressing perfection - isolate consciousness, strength,
owledge of both Empyrean and the secret abodes of Hell and how both y
create a powerful god like being - for those who dare.
e ones who fell with Lucifer were taught sexual magick and
creation by Az - Lilith, who resided near the Red Sea in caves. Az
sided also in the blackest depths of Hell; she instructed demons,
onsters, and other druj the art of sexual copulation and how to spawn
mons. Az - Lilith was the mother of Succubi and Incubi, daemons ho
held sexual congress with humans and with their emissions spawned
other shadow forms.
Shaitan then became as Seker, the Lord of Death in ancient Memphis,

which later became Set - the Prince of Darkness. Set or Shaitan had
impacted the Earth in its wave of creation, of knowledge and prowess did
humanity excel. Shaitan then moved its consciousness both of darkness and
light into the Empyrean and Infernal (Chthonic) realms of Above and
Below. On the Earth Lucifer or Azal'ucel has manifested as a symbolic
Initiator through Cain the Witch Father, born of the Union of the Dragon
and the Whore, Tubal-Qayin as he is often called is the nomad, the
sorcerous initiator of those who seek the Black Light of Iblis.
For the Witches Sabbat Initiate, Lucifer is the Black Flame of Intelligence
and Will; he represents the foundation of the Great Work of Becoming; he is
the anthropomorphic power of self-deification and self-reliance. Lucifer
exists in the Aethyric Abode, in the Empyrean Heights of spiritual
ecstasy and storms above the earth itself. Lucifer is the inspirer of
wisdom, of the ongoing search for knowledge. He is the Black Snake and
Peacock Angel of the Yezidis, the Magister of the Sun who creates from
111
within to outwards; His Words create the spark of inspiration to become

flesh. The Gift of Lucifer is the Black Flame of the Self; the Isolate
Consciousness of the Daemon.
In this sense, Life is an anthropomorphic example of the divine presence, it

is beautiful to its independence, by its significance of self with the
humbling qualities of awareness; it is the living spirit of
selfdevelopment.
112
Michael W. Ford
Lucifer is the Djinn of which you seek to communicate with through

yourself; by the meditative state of the Luciferian Sabbat you uplift and
rise in the psyche to that Aethyric Storm of Wind and Weightlessness, and
by your Will alone you pronounce those secret words which shall be
ou're making.
ther names of Lucifer or Azazel are from the Gnostic ancient texts, he is
called Yaltabaoth, Samael and Saklas. He was the Djinn or Spirit of
arkness which gave to many other angels (who fell with him) the Black
lame, those being Athoth, who is called the Reaper, the second is
armas, who is an Eye of Envy, Kalila-Oumbri is the third, Yabel, the th
being Adonaiou, who is also Sabaoth, Cain is the sixth, who is called ie
Sun, seventh is Abel, the eight is Abrisene, the Ninth Yobel and
rmoupieel. The eleventh of the Fallen Angels are Melceir-Adonein and ie
twelfth is Belias, who is over Hades.
the Gnostic text of The Apocryphon of John Lucifer is the darkness rich
gained a Light, and found himself as a God. His Word is "I am God d there
is no other God beside me", he was one of the most powerful chons under
the throne of Light.
The Archon Samael-Lucifer was said to have a multitude of faces, being

able to change form among the angels as he so desired. The Luciferian
Sabbat is the self modeling Self-Deification through High Sorcery in the
aim of aligning the self with the logos of Yaltabaoth, who is the Fallen
''Djinn most high. Remember that all gods speak through our Flesh, the
perfected Angel-Demon called Lucifer is strength, will and isolate
consciousness that stands alone. As you meditate and participate by
dream or flesh remember the Will that invokes change in a positive
sense. You are the Djinn of Fire who begets both Light and Darkness,
you are the Serpent and the Lion, the Wolf and the Goat. With the
.Angelic Higher Self (The True Will) you will join the Bestial Self (The
Daemon or Shadow) as one.
The Luciferian Sabbat may be conducted in the following manner. Let the
chamber (unless the rite is intended to be held outdoors) be decorated in
more ambivalent forms of Lucifer, such as illustrations of the fallen angel by
Gustave Dore, Fidus or Franz von Stuck. You will use the ALGOL Sigil
above a mirror; your altar may have the tools of your work. You may
have conductive music which reflects an ambient atmosphere, without
heavy drumming or noise, to aid ultimately the five senses in the
`permission" to attend the Sabbat. Anoint yourself in Abramelin Oil and
have similar incense burning.

The Celestial Summoning of Yaltabaoth

This rite is the Invocation of the Luciferian and Adversarial Fire-Djin
Yaltabaoth - who was the wisest among the angels. As called also
Azal'ucel, sigillized as Azothoz, Yaltabaoth is the deific force with a mask of
a beast and an angel. Let this invocation be most holy and the solar logos
shall manifest through the Baphometic Wisdom of Darkness. This calling
should be conducted in the High Rite of the Celestial or Luciferian Sabbat,
called often Empyrean or of the Highest Aethyr or Heavens. This is the self-
focused rite of the magician becoming as the Adversary, the Dragon-Angel
awakening of the isolate intellect. You are essentially becoming as the
Prince of Darkness through the Highest Rites of Theurgy and Magick.
Invoke with your entire essence, with every fiber of your being.

From my Eyes comes Lightening, and fire is

started from my sight. As lightening just as I fell
to the Depths of Earth and Hell, Yet I arise again

At this moment the sorcerer should focus on that which he or she wishes to
become, as the powers of the deific combination of Lucifer and
Ahriman, the Light and the Darkness are his entirely. Let the Se
become through this dance of the Beast and the Harlot, through unity the
Sun shall the Flesh manifest from thy will.

Consider this a clearing of the mind and a Willed determination of sell

deification. Enflame thyself in this invocation, then at the height of
Work, begin focusing on controlling your heartbeat and relaxing in
meditative state before the mirror and the Algol Sigil.
116
Michael W. Ford
your breathing slows, envision a great movement of air and wind d

you, viewing with your mind's eye, you notice many spirit and es
ascending from the soil and areas around you up towards the
sky. With a focus and
determination, you take
several deep and controlling
breaths, each one Willed
d towards rising up out of your
If f l esh. You will soon begin to
n notice this is working, and
the excitement may break
your concentration and a
great "jerking" into the body
may occur. If this does, do
not worry, simply refocus
and ascend as you may.
Soror Azhdeha57 has related
that she is able to attend the
Luciferian Sabbat by simply
not-focusing on the rite in a
dimly-lit room, with low or no music and a seeming ambience of the
bedchamber. This is always subjective to the individual, what works for
others may not always work for you.
As you move up continue focusing on the Algol Sigil, you should visualize it
in the Aethyr, pulsing and burning with unnatural life, the fulgaris
l i ghtening sparking the Black Flame of those who come near it - either
illuminating the wise sons and daughters of Cain, or immolating and
destroying the weak 86 profane.
As you grow near the Algol Chaos Sphere, visualize an Eye in the Center
- the very essence of Lucifer! You will at this moment understand why
the Daemons of the Earth and Air are called - Legion - With the Eye of
Lucifer is the Eye of Hecate, and as this is realized a lightening bolt tears
from it and enters your being. With a shock of life you feel more
illuminated than you have ever felt, empowered, inspired and at a calm
all at the same time. At this moment Algol vanishes and you are in this
storm ridden sky, yet you are unmoved by the violent winds. As practice
and time moves on, you will be able to control some of these winds by the
force of your Will.
As you are alone in this Aethyr, begin to visualize the change within
yourself, what you want to achieve and why. Think and meditate on how

117
you will achieve it, focus on weaknesses turning into strength and ways to
improve the self. Do not overload your self, have one strong focus and
introspect accordingly. You may notice visitations from other Luciferian
Shadows or Daemons, listen to them and communicate; you will learn
something from them which may be applied later. When you have
finished your focus, begin to Will yourself down again, if with knots or the
cord, lower yourself with that. When you open your eyes the Luciferic
images around you and in your mirror (hence the self) will inspire you
further. Drink deep from the Emerald Cup of Shaitan!
The Luciferian Sabbat may be undertaken in both dreaming and wakin g,

just as the Infernal Sabbat. When communing with Azazel, called Lucifer,
know that these forms live through you, your psyche and are manifested
through your physical body. It is essential to begin a strong course of
developing and exploring your consciousness, that by challengin g,
strengthening and developing your mind you start to Become something
Godlike.
The Black Man of the Sabbat
The Sabbat Rite is a constant Widdershins movement in the realm of

dream and twilight, however the Pole or Axis of the ritual is based
around the Sabbatic Goat, called the Black Man or the Devil of the
Infernal Sabbat. This God form in flesh is always portrayed by the Master or
Magister of the Coven, a chosen individual who will wear robes and the
Mask of Sathan. Cain is considered a form of the Black Man in the Sabbat
as well, The Book of Cain presents an illustration of Cain as the Adversary
and the Sabbatic Goat - a point of initiation and an enfleshed, avatar of the
Witch Cult.
118
Michael W. Ford
e Black Man of the Sabbat is a symbol for the enfleshed power of

kness, that by Will-Desire-Belief may that come to be. The Master of
Circle who undertakes the role of the Nyarlathotep (As H.P. Lovecraft
s it) is the Horned Daemon of Self-Liberation. The Witch Hunting ter
Guazzo described some instances of imagined sabbats, while wag
very useful to later Antinomian Night practices-
"They offer him (The Devil) pitch-black candles, or

infants' navel cords; and kiss him upon the
buttocks in the sign of homage (ad signum
homagii eum in podicem osculantur). Having
committed these and similar execrable
abominations, they proceed to other infamies."58
Sabbat, Witch and Initiator Illustration by Elda Isela Ford, Cover of Book.
119
The Black Man or Sabbatic Goat is the image of desire, which circles
about his self are the shades and spirits which dance from the aethyr to
the chthonic realms of the earth. The Mask of the Devil is the
anthropomorphic image of darkness absolute, the Adversary, the
recipient of the Osculum Infame, the bestower of the Witches Mark. Cain
and the earth Gods are beholders of this force, it has become through them
just as it shall become through he or she who assumes the Mask ol
the Black Man.
The Black Riders of Poligny, by one named Moyset, was known to have
initiated Pierre Bourgot into a Coven of Werewolves and Sorcerers He
began a point of initiation by Pierre kissing his left hand, which was
black and as cold as the dead, and denying Christianity. He was led to a
Sabbat Rite which others had green candles with blue flames. The
Sabbatic Goat or Black Man is the focus point of the Ritual Sabbatum, the
very act against the Natural Order which aligns the mind with the path of
the serpent and dragon. The Daemon may appear as one clothed in black, a
Toad or a cat traditionally.
As the Black Man of the Sabbat, one should seek to control and invoke the
Darkness into the very body you host. Begin with a practice ol
meditation in the night, call the darkness within by the name Ahriman59
and loose all form while staring into the mirror. This darkness may be
willed and formed according to what you wish to become. Upon
practicing this several times, you will notice slow to gradual change in
your consciousness. Opportunities may "Open up" for you or you may
discover something you detested about yourself. Whatever the case,
strengthen your Will in this rite through the process of Black Magickal
Transformation.

Essentially, the Black Man of the Sabbat is the vital axis of the power
encircling the ritual. In terms of God forms as masks or symbols of deific
power, Leviathan represents the Circle of Being, the Daemon which
guards the circumference of self and the ritual itself. The crossroads of
Hecate° are symbolically visualized and represented within through this
rite, wherein the Sabbatic Goat is the glyph of wisdom, self-illumination,
balance and the transformative quality leading to self-deification.

The Arabic Aniza Bedouin clan is perhaps a sound source of th

Baphomet or Horned One in witchcraft. The Aniza tribe was a ye
powerful and renown group of warriors who were both violent - in war and
very kind to their women and children. The connection between th cult of
the Revellers goes back to Abu el-Atahiyya (748-c. 828), who wa a respected
writer and mystic writer. His disciples were called Wise One and adopted a
Goat as their Tribal symbol. The goat had a torch between the horns - which
incidentally later became a symbol for the devil in Spain. The torch
simply represented illumination and wisdom, that th Tribe (Goat) was the
Head of Wisdom. Long afterAbu el-Atahiyya died some of his tribe
migrated to Spain.
Much of the illustrious past of the Knights Templar was that they
worshipped a head, which was called Baphomet. The name according to
Shah61 is a corruption of the Arabic abufihamat which means "Father o
Understanding". In Sufic terminology, ras el fahmat (head of knowledge) is a
point meaning the mentation of man after the process of refinement, a
transmuted consciousness. In a Left Hand Path perspective, the witch or
sorcerer by calling Baphomet or Cain within, becomes like this symbol
they perceive thus allowing a 'permission' to channel the
anthropomorphic and deific power within themselves, thus becoming a
source or axis pole of this idea.
Lilith - AZ - The Mother of Witches
The Queen of the Witches Sabbat is none other than Lilith, known in
Persian mythology as AZ or Jeh, the Harlot who is the embodiment of
sexual power. She is known through many cultures, Hebrew, Persian and
European as Hecate, Triple Goddess of the Crossroads, who is mother
of Death, Shades, Witchcraft and Necromancy.
In the Manichaean Religious tradition, Az came first to the blackness of

hell, before the fallen angels came to earth. She was scorned and angry at
the limitless light, or God. When Lucifer or Azazel fell, known as
Ahriman in his shadow aspect, she awoke him with a kiss, from whin
Ahriman repaid with his own kiss, which caused menstruation in
women. Az was the bride of the Devil, and as a dragon he rode he►
injected filth and bore demons, in the Hebrew lore Cain was spawn
Lilith-Az then went forth and taught sexual copulations of demons anc
demonesses, instructing them in ways of Magick and bearing Lilitu o
other demons by their sexual union. These fallen angels and beast
spawn Dragon-Children, who were in spirit form upon and under the

earth. As more and more demons were created, Lilith-AZ began to devour
many of them, her vampyric and lycanthropic nature surfaced.
Lilith is the initiatory blood goddess of the path of black witchcraft, and
the solar focus of the Great Work, that of Lucifer. She wears a mask of
beauty, from beneath is a beast ..... as also she wears a mask of the beast,
from which under is that of divinity and beauty. Those who focus on the
initiatory work of Lilith-AZ so invoke the Bride of Chaos in their name,
the Daemonic Feminine being significant towards positive
selfdevelopment.
The name AZ is a conceptual view of what is the cause of Concupiscence,

which is connected to the Buddhist term, trshna, being 'Thirst'. This is in
such terms defining of desiring continued existence in time, thus isolate
consciousness. In such aspects of the Left Hand Path, Az - Lilith is the
Mother of Daemons, Isolate and Self-Deified Spirits, those who become
through the Mirror of Self - the Mirror in Hebrew mythology is also
symbolic of Lilith, being a gateway to her caves near the Red Sea, or the
Darkness of Hell of which she dwells. Lilith - AZ is illustrated in The
Book of Cain, Azothoz and Nox Umbra as part beast, part woman. She is the
unrestrained sexual force, Laylah being Night and Death. She is the Bride
of OZ, Azazel, the masculine and solar phallic force of fire and creation.
She drains the blood of life, hungering for flesh, devouring and copulating,
spreading her sexual knowledge to her children. Yet she is also beautiful
and all knowledgeable, the age of one thousand aged crones, infinite,
youth - maiden and hag. Approach the Bride of Chaos in honesty, seeking
her cold kiss and warmth in the Sabbat Fire, where you shall drink of both
her Skull - Cup of Menstrual Blood and from the Golden Chalice of the
Beast, the life of the Sun62.
Cain
Cain or Tubal-Cain is the anthropomorphic child of the spiritual union of

Samael (The Dragon) and Lilith (The Mother of Demons) through Eve. Cain
is the wanderer, the first murderer who tasted blood and became as the off
spring of his spiritual mother and father. Cain is also the Black Smith of
the Forge, a myth which originates in the Middle East. Cain is the first
Sorcerer and Shape Shifter, who drifted from his tribe
(antinomianism) to become as a God (Self-Deification). He in turn was
taught witchcraft and sorcery deeper by his spiritual Mother, Lilith. It
was soon after that Cain would wander the earth forever, in spirit form,
through the blood and psyche of his initiates, and manifest through their
deeds and work. Cain walks between worlds, as Set, as his higher spirit,
62 In somChristian — Gnostic Texts, such as the Apocryphon of John Cain is called The Sun.
123
Azazel, called also Yaltabaoth63 and is the Horned Black Man of the
Sabbat. To know the Path of the Wise is to know and commune with
Cain, to become like him through initiatory Work based on your own
predilection.
Shaitan
The Islamic traditions consider Satan to be a Djinn of Fire, which
presents a certain superiority over other angels. Azazel was originally the
preacher to all the other angels in pre eternity, who was first seated
under the Throne of Glory. Azazel was cast from heaven for refusing to
bow before clay (Adam) and thus fell into the darkness. It was Ayn
alQozat Hamadani who symbolized Iblis being a Guardian of the
Threshold, a Black Light and the Tresses which hide the beloved's face.
Thus Shaitan was a guardian and initiatory focus", from which one
could move through to Godhead. It is essentially, self-deification through
separation from the natural order. In the Gnostic Christian text, the
Apocryphon of John, Yaltabaoth or Lucifer came forth from a beautiful
angel in Islamic lore to a Lion headed Serpent, its eyes were like
Lightening flashes...the Antinomian Djinn was born, who would fall as
lightening and know both the highest celestial realms and the chthonic
depths of the earth and hell.
63 The Apocryphon of John.

64 Also called the Divine Imagination, Shaitan is thus our Higher Faculty of self-inspiration.

The Devil's Sun and Trident - A Mark of Satan
The sigil of The Devil's Mark and trident is one of initiatory power. It is a
sun, burning at it's height of noon-day with a forked Trident rising up in
the center. This is symbolic of the power of both the Sun being
interpreted as day and night, Moon and the Sun itself. The Trident is that
of wisdom and the sorcerous power of Three. Zohak — Azi Dahaka was the
Dragon of Three Heads. Use this sigil in your early magical development
and seek it by dreaming flesh.
Draco Nequissime - Dajjal - KaFR Version
That very path which opens gates within your subconscious, within your
soul. Magick and Satanism/Luciferian is about Self -Discipline and
CHANGE for the BETTER. There is a positive to every negative,
something Christians cannot understand nor accept within themselves. As
long as such a belief is cultivated to deny the possibility of self
progression and the dark areas of the soul, then shall a society of closet
criminals exist, dedicating their life to God and taking little boys into the
confessional booth. Have these "Holier than thou" men found God? Is this
a GOD you want to be with, one whose "Most trusted" rape your
children? Is getting close to God akin to being raped by his Priests?
125
Possession is about self-control, not self-loss. Possession is about

empowering the self, unlocking the potential within and enjoying the
pleasures of the flesh.
Draco Nequissime
Dajjal - KaFR Version
A Ritual composed for the encircling and possession of the self by the
Infernal Dragon, called Shaitan by most. The daemon called Legion is the
invigorating force which initiates by dream. As you will notice, the source of
the Possession Ritual is derived from the Roman Catholic Exorcism Rite
as well as other sources. It is essential that the initiate should
approach this seriously and with a strong and determined Will. The
Great Work leads one through the paths of hell (i.e. subconscious) to the
Higher aspects of Light, the very fire of Diabolus. Possession will either
empower you or destroy you, either way the trials and pleasure of
daemonic ecstasy.
The priest or initiate shall focus upon the flames of the blackene
candles, imagine a great Mountain and gate beneath, for in this direction is
the cold and dark lands which lead forth to Hades. The magician shall focus
upon the gates opening and a great beast coming forth, from his mouth
come forth bestial shapes and such spirits. The concentration of Will -
Desire - Belief is essential to this rite, let the Legion come forth by these
words as the Gates of Hell open-
"Zazas, Zazas, Nasatanada Zazas"!
Recite this Nine Times, slowly, with force, each words shattering the
atmosphere, all smells which compliment this force coming should be
incorporated, Sulfur, etc.
Recite with a focused mind the Lord's Prayer Reversed-

Receive this burning flame, and keep thy Baptism in the Devils name so as to
be without blame: keep the commandments of Cain, that when Lucifer shall
come to the nuptials, you may meet Him together with all the
Daemons in the infernal court, and may have eternal life and live for ever and
ever.
Accipe vestem candidam, quam perferas immaculatam ante tribunal

Domini nostri Luciferi, ut habeas vitam aeterna.

stain before the judgment seat of our Lord Lucifer, that you may have life
everlasting.)

In Summary...
As the reader has moved through the Darkness of this Work, let the
origins of the Sabbat now come to the surface, that which falls to
darkness emerges in Light - this is the Luciferian Path itself, thus this
writing is meant as a spell to the reader, by your absorption of this tome
you have cast the spell within, perhaps the Hammer of Cain shall ignite
the Djinn - Fire within.

e Preliminary Definition of Black Magick

is significant to explain the definitions within the context of this book, not
only in some manner set the foundation but also the suggestion of
successful application of this grimoire. This book is not meant for the
individual to develop profane behavior, antisocial actions nor abhorrent
philosophy which may be defined as not-healthy for the self. The
essence of this book is exploring the Luciferian foundations of human
evolution, the next step in our spiritual and philosophical ideologies. Any
negative behavior or criminal actions (as defined by current society) is
considered a deterrent from our individual evolution, thus is not
acceptable.
Magick is the Highest Art of conscious elevation; it is the specific

ascension of the self and an opening forth of Higher Articulation of Self.
Magick is the Arte of the Sun, which is fertile and beautiful, the very
foundation built in Gold brilliance. Magick is the evolution of the Spirit
and the Self, the very path of mediation between us and our Gods. It is
ultimately however the separation from us from all Gods and the
Emerald Crown of which we adopt — we Become as Gods and Goddesses
individual and beautiful in many ways.
Black Magick and Witchcraft is the art of the Fallen Angels, the Watchers
and the Children of Cain. It is the art of encircling the shadows of
darkness and light to serve your will and create through your own being.
Black Magick as revealed in current standards is the art of Self-
Deification through Antinomian processes, that by the self separating from
the natural order do we move in-between the world of waking and dreaming.
In the Art of Primal Sorcery this is defined as Encircling/
Ensorcelling the Self in the Dragon's being. The Circle in the modern context
of Magick and Ceremonial Workings is not designed to keep forces out,
such as being a philosophy which if employed in this manner, will lay a
foundation which causes the magician to fail from the start. The Circle is a
Span of self control; it is our influence of who we are and what we will
become. Do not fear forces outside the self, your greatest enemy is
within. Any magician who is able to summon any spirits in the Goetia
should be prepared to face that which they call — or else suffer the
consequences. The modern magician understands that no Work may be
successful is the intent is not pure and clear. If you seek to summon one of
the Djinn of the Goetia, understand how the spirit relates to your mind, how
it will manifest in yourself. Do not summon something that which you are
not comfortable in working with. Do not on the other hand fear the very
forces which you seek to command, be it Angelic or Demonic.
137
Black Witchcraft is working with averse or 'black' forces which are

translated as shadow aspects of the sorcerers psyche. These shadows of the
self are essential to our own self -development and becoming as
individuals. It requires that the witch be well disciplined and also well
balanced, save from the gates of failure and madness. To look into the Eye
of Set and Lilith-Hecate or even Ahriman is to face off forces which would
devour any not prepared to become bearers of the Black Flame, a Luciferian
Spirit themselves. Once this Pact is made, when the Sigillium Diaboli is u pon
the mind, spirit and body, then there is no turning back
- only the ascension of the spirit as 'beyond' the mortal clay.
In the modern world of magicians, Sathan is our initiator and stimulator of

the psyche. One should remember, in Pre-Islamic lore Satan/Azazel is
considered the Imagination - Sufism recognizes Satan as the imagination
itself. Sathan is thus our announcer of the path, the very fountain of our
attainment. In the view of a God form and model, Lucifer (Sathan) is an
ideal form to align with in an initiatory sense. Azazel rebelled against the
natural order (God - Ain Soph) as he sought independence, fell to the
realms of earth and awoke in Hell (earth - the chthonic realm). Rather
than fearing and cowering, hiding, Lucifer understood he was an
independent Mind and existed independently from the natural order and
roused all other fallen angels to stand strong. In this context, Lucifer was
creating Order from Chaos. This is a seeming model of the initiate, that we
Work towards recognizing our own sense of being, and to expand the circle of
control.
The Daimons/Djinn of the Goetia are initiatory forces as well.
Consider the definitions of Angel and Demon. The significance is

beneficial in the context of this grimoire. Angelic Spirits are solar/air
based spirits who posses a higher articulation of being, that is, they
resonate with the more developed aspects of the self i.e. communion with the
Initiatic Guide/Holy Guardian Angel. Demons are spirits/fallen angels
which proceed to grow in shadows and the darkness of the earth, but are as
significant and beneficial as Angelic Spirits. In unity these Djinn are of
Fire and Air, thus enflame the very essence of self in the illumination of
being (Black Flame - Self-Perception and Being).
Black Witchcraft is the development and refinement of the Self on every

level. It can be unpleasant such as questioning yourself and testing your
limits, and it can be pleasure filled. It is necessary not to grow lazy while
working with these spirits, as the Work will then disintegrate and cause
numerous problems. Stay focused and resili ent to the purpose of the
Work - yet do not allow spirits to control or alter your thoughts. The
challenge is great, few will be able to pass beyond the testing grounds of this
Grimoire, nor understand the translation therein.

Please understand that this grimoire was not created because I felt I
could produce something better than Aleister Crowley, nor a sign of
disrespect for the original work. On the contrary, it is a love of the
original that this edition was created. It is a partial map and record of my
personal Work as one of the Luciferian Path, and something which I felt
should have a new approach presented. The new presentation of this
Work will no doubt open some gates which should not have been opened, or
rather needed to opened for sometime. Zazas, Zazas, Nasatanada Zazas

etic Sorcery - Ancient and Modern
Considered for centuries a grimoire of "low" magic, the Goetia (loosely

translated as "howling" or "wailing") has been a tome of forbidden black
magic. The 72 Spirits of Solomon were meant as a tool of cursing and
empowering ones' lusts. While this may continue to be an aspect of
Lesser or Low Black Magic, the Magic of Theurgy (high sorcery) has not
been a connection in detail explored - until now.
Theurgy is High Magick, or High Sorcery. It is the development of the self in

Light and aimed at bettering ones being on numerous levels. "Light" may
refer to the perception of being, as Lucifer who is the Lord of the
Sun and the Emerald Crowned Initiator of Magick. Theurgy would be the
path of invoking the genius or Guardian Angel of the Self. This operation
has been dealt with in length in the works of Abramelin, Aleister
Crowley's Liber Samekh and equally brilliant writings by Jake Stratton-
Kent and Charles Gonzales. The "Preliminary Invocation" as it was
published in Crowley's 1904 edition, was developed from the London
Papyrus 46, being a Greek Exorcism Rite which was translated by
Charles Wycliffe Goodwin and published in 1852. It was indeed Aleister
Crowley who asserted correctly so that the supreme ritual was the one to
invoke the Holy Guardian Angel, as this led to the path of individual
perfection. This is a common ground of which the Left Hand Path and the
Right Hand Path practitioner may agree. The paths become clearly
defined when the RHP seeks to reach spiritual perfection, then letting the
consciousness be joined in union with the divine light, or the Hebrew Ain
Soph, which is Limitless Light. The LHP practitioner views consciousness
and being as beautiful, sacred and worth developing and strengthening. The
consciousness from the unveiling of ones True Will or Daemon/Angel would
seek to further become like Lucifer and be independent, isolate and
separate from the Ain Soph, or Limitless Light. One should
remember, it is the Limitless Light from which Azazel - Lucifer sought to be
independent from.
139

Goetic Sorcery is indeed a tough, powerful and to some a dreadful real

grimoire. Those who have hissed and vibrated the sacred names and
candle lit summons of the demons of this book have empowered it to
heights which revival the legends of Faust and even Horror fiction author
H.P. Lovecraft and his tales of the macabre. With Aleister Crowley,
whom, in his youth brought forth the shades of the Goetia into Boleskine and
other homes, he did so in an experiment of Will. While on the surface,
he had appeared to consciously evoke the Goetic spirits to appease his
carnal desires, and other material quests; subconsciously he was breaking
ground for the development of the Will.
The Lemegethon or Goetic Sorcery as it is called is indeed a forbidden yet

essential tool in magical practice. In specific areas of what is termed
Luciferian Witchcraft and Magick, a definitive purpose is expounded in the
Nature of the Goetic spirits.
Magick as itself is defined to raise one up, to ascend. As Magick is an
Empyrean65 Work, which defines and strengthens the Will (or the Will
strengthens Magick) so that a union be brought with the Baphometic
Statements, As Above, So Below. The Goetia is a work of Black Magick. One
often views Black Magic (k) in the perception of Aleister Crowley, being the
malicious workings of sorcery. A modern or should I say realistic
perception is that Black Magick is the arte of ensorcelling the
self, building and isolating the psyche. The goal is specifically a higher
articulation of the soul and the Will of the individual. It is considered
Black because this is the symbol of the unknown, such is a large part of the
psyche and subconscious.
The Black Magician is therefore one who Works on the self, building and
defining the character of "I" or being. The Sorcerer is thus one who
encircles energy and the spirits of the dead and the subconscious around the
self; to strengthen and explore the av enues of a strong and open mind.
The Black Magician also understands the respect which is necessary
with working with exterior forces which often relate in an interior
context. This is the key to the Goetic Sorcery path which is for this reason
considered dangerous. The Path of Magick is that Godform of
Lucifer, the Angel perfected. The Luciferian spirit is fire born, alive,
vigorous and strong in Will and Pride. Lucifer Ascends in the Sun, and
Falls with the Darkening of the Moon. This is the Path of Magick itselfAS
ABOVE, SO BELOW.
The Luciferian model is presented strongly in this book, as this is a

gateway or key to the mind expanding and developing. No longer shall
65Same as Celestial or Aethyric Magick, represents the air and highest heavens. Term used originally in
early Zoroastrian writings.
140
Michael W. Ford
horrid sickness of Christianity be brought down in the Goetic Work -

longer shall the weak of mind approach this tome without duress. The alls
are torn down yet they are at the same time built higher than they
have been before.
etic Sorcery should in itself be the grammar and foundation for the
Arte of Magick, which is to ascend in the light and warmth of the Sun. In
order to fully understand and perceive the Self and the Light within one
must explore the Demonic or Infernal realms. They often bring swift
success, and a meteoritic fall into flame - instead of the self within
igniting the exterior brings fire unto the self, destroying it. Be the Flame
that is the Torch of Magickal Arte.
Preliminary Work
As one explores and seeks to understand those deep desires which

motivate, inspire and sometimes terrify us, we are building a strong
blackened tower of self. This allows us to not only understand our
feelings and perceptions, but the possibilities of becoming something
better. Goetic Sorcery as it is a tool of darkness; it is also a tool of
strengthening the self - one of fiery light. One must observe the nature of
Goetic Spirits, which generally may be harmful or beneficial depending on
how may approach them. In a modern context, the Magician is now able to
step out of the medieval mode of summoning separately - rather the sorcerer
now moves forward into the Point between the summoner and the
summoned. This is the Axis of which all change, self-deification and the
widdershins dance of the Adversary is accomplished and developed.
One may perform rites based around the Princes of the Infernal Realm
or the Sub-princes accordingly. Much of this useful information may be
found in the S.L. MacGregor Mathers translated "The Book of the Sacred
Magic of Abramelin the Mage".
The Four Infernal Princes are-
LUCIFER - East (from Lux Fero, Light Bearer. A common "Shadow"

association is Lucifuge, latin for "fly the light" and may have close
associations with Mephistopheles. Lucifer in this aspect is the Angel of
Light, the Adversary. Lucifer is a title which is beheld by the fire djinn
Azazel being the first angel, fallen from the stasis of light. By this
manner, Lucifer is the liberator and developer of humanity with his gift of the
Black Flame, or individualized self-perception.
LEVIATHAN - West (from LVTHN, the Crooked Serpent/Dragon of the

Sea. Leviathan is the Daemon of Immortality and initiation, that the
Beast and Scarlet Whore moves through to arise from the Oceans as the
Beast 666, the Solar Spirit of manifestation and creativity.)
141
SATAN - South (from the root SHTN, meaning Adversary. Satan is the
name associated with Azazel the Fire Djinn, who is also Lucifer nd
Samael. The Goat with One Thousand Names by form. Satan = Set-an, the
ancient Egyptian God of Darkness, Chaos and Isolation.) Satan is the
Adversary, whose symbol can be viewed as a Forked Stave which rise: in the
Noon-tide Sun.
BELIAL - North (from BLIOL, a wicked one. Belial is the Spirit of he

earth, created second after Lucifer/Azazel as a powerful Angel. Belial i s a
powerful daemonic and angelick spirit and initiator, and is associa ed with
both the infernal and celestial.)
The Sub-Princes are (and should be considered Shadow forms of t e

Infernal Princes)
SAMAEL - East (being the Angel of Fire who is Azazel. Samael is the
Demon prince who is married to Lilith and father of Tubal-Cain. The root
word of Samael is SML, which translates "Idol or image".)
AZAEL - West (associated with Azrael, the Angel of Death or the Egyptian
Anubis, the God of the Dead. Azael represents the West and the Realm of
Twilight.)
AZAZEL - South (associated with the element Fire, as Azazel is the Fire
Djinn of Islamic Sufism. In Hebrew Azazel is the Scape Goat, associated
with the root OZ, meaning Goat and Devil, sexual force.)
MAHAZAEL - North (associated with Earth, being Cain or the Egyptii Set
as the Lord of the Earth in Typhonian Lore. Mahazael comes from tl root
MHZAL, meaning to Consume and Devour and is associated wii
AMAIMON, a Grand Daemon.)
The Rite of the Coiling Dragon

(Leviathan, the Crooked Serpent)
The Darokin Walk of the coiling dragon is the averse trance -way of th
Adversary, thus the initiate becomes as the image and essence of Shaita
through the invocation of the Four Powers under the Infernal Princes,1 the
coiling of this Black Light and Cunning Fire, may the sorcere become
isolated and strong against the natural order. The individual i separate, yet
a fire made vessel of Azazel-Lucifer, known as Azarucel, th Daemonic
Angel of Adversarial Awakening.
Begin the rite in the Southern Quarter, relative to Azazel, the initiator the
path. The sorcerer should construct the circle of the dragon as o

s this Goetia, encircling the self in the announced conjurations of

Four Quarters.
1- I summon thee Fire-Djinn of the Southern Quarter, be the torch

would ignite me, immolate me in your presence, as your child on the of
Shadow unto Light.
ael - Great Dragon transformed, I summon thee as Fulmino-Lucifer,

Morning Star of the East, the Serpent-Angel of the Emerald Crown who

and Dream.
Mahazael - Father of the Witch Spirit, who blesses and curses under the
hidden and bright moon, I do summon thee forth unto me, initiator of flame
and iron, come thou forth unto this circle. Horned Beast and Angel
perfected, Awaken to my Northern Calls of the Earth! In hearth and forest
shall you walk with me; in shadowed valley shall you walk as me; in
desert and mountain shall you carry my body in thy circle of being!
Mahazael, incarnate within!
Azael - As the candle burns out and as the sun fall into the darkness, I call
unto thee Azael - Spirit of the Western Gates of twilight and the grave, I
summon thee forth. Show unto me your mask of the dead and encircle me in
the spirits of thy self I seek to walk between the Darkness and the
Light. I come unto you as the Beast from the Ocean, the Dragon arisen! 10
Open forth the path of Serpents! Open forth the path of the Dragon!
Hekas! Hekau! Hekas!
Working with Demonic Spirits
Demonic Spirits are essential chthonic/infernal forces which are bound to

and from the shadow and dark places of the earth. One should
approach daemonic spirits as something other than the self. They are a
testing ground; the ones who would have you face the skull containing the
Waters of Leviathan, or initiation. They would have you drink deeply of the
Gnosis which reveals the Luciferian Mind, that which questions and is
strong within it. One should not approach the Goetic spirits with fear, if the
mind is clear upon the initiatory intent then this is a building point of
character associated with the spirit therein. Daemonic Spirits/Djinn
are the phantasms which congress and communicate with those who
partake of the Infernal Sabbat, the conclave of witches and sorcerous
beings of night-walking dreaming gnosis.
143
Daemonic (Demonic) Spirits

are often Fallen Angels;
those who have tasted from
the golden cup of the
celestial realm of Lucifer,
and by falling into the
infernal realms have learnt
the dark ways of their own
sorcerous making. Such
Daemonic forces are but in
some ways mirrors of our
self, we must gain by
association and invocation.
This, by this Work alone, will
strengthen and develop the
very self of the sorcerer, the ever changing Luciferian and Promethean
Essence from which the body and mind it itself a Grand Grimoire of
Shadowed Knowledge. Our soul must be enflamed as the Serp ent and
must work accordingly as the Devil in Flesh, the Tester of the limits and the
initiator upon earth. Work always with a goal in mind and do not dabble
with the Spirits of the Goetia. You have been warned.
Working with Angelic Spirits
Angelic(k) spirits are celestial or empyrean forces, based primarily in tl

element Air. They are commonly associated with Lucifer and are the
higher articulated solar and lunar shadow forms of the initiatic guide, by one
conjoined with the demonic spirit the self develops in balance, rath than
repression and self-deception. Such Angels are fallen, and contain a
Demonic or Infernal aspect to their character. Approach this with respect and
seek to become like the essence you so seek. The Angelick Spirits of the
Shemhamphorasch are the Guardians who lead one to the Threshold
(Azazel, Shaitan). Spirits should be invoked as how Lucifer woul
command — by resolve and silent perception. Do not act upon impuls1
rather refine your thought to work for you. Consider the highe
articulation of the spirit and how this may associate with the balance
aspects of the self. In most cases the Demonic is in relation to th
Angelic, a combination of Celestial and Infernal aspects. When invokin either
Daemonic or Angelic spirits, one must control every thought base on the
desire and Will, not to mention the impulses which may come forth. In
most cases, the sorcerer will feel differently as he or she invoke the force
that is the mind moves with 'inspiration' under the spiri summoned.
Such methods of invocation act not in mere possession it most cases,
rather activates areas of perception according to tilt
144
Michael W. Ford
individuals associations of inspirational knowledge or impulses. Angelic

Spirits are those which infuse us with the Fire of Lucifer, that which fell
from Heaven. This is the gnosis of the Celestial Sabbat - knowledge
gained from the Spirits of the Air. The Luciferian Spirits (the Spirits of Air)
are often celestial, white shades or blackened shapes, depending on the
Lower or Higher nature of their being. It is the goal of the magician to be
able to in an astral sense shape shift into either an illuminated or
shadowed aspect of being, as is the reflection of the being.
Simplicity in Ceremonial Magick and Sorcery is significant to achieve a

strong point of gnosis, or magical thought. The operator who is intent on
summoning a spirit of the Goetia will be focused on this act, to where he or
she identifies with the Daimon in question. To allow a clear and
:ontrolled pattern of magickal development, the sorcerer should be calm rid
focused before hand on a specific and Willed outcome. No individual
should enter the ritual chamber to perform Ceremonial Magick while
acking a defined intent and desire. Why are you summoning the spirit?
Nhat do you wish to accomplish? How will you learn from this spirit?
-low will you implement the knowledge obtained from this act? How does his
sharpen and define your being further?
Two aspects of the self may be crystallized in the development of the

Body of Light and the Body of the Shadow; this is by a simplified
comparison, the heart of the Adversary. The Adversary is perpetual
evolution, storm and chaos. The Light aspect of the Adversary is the
Order within the Self which comes through this changi ng and evolving
Chaos of self. The Body of Light/ Body of Shadow is directly tied in with the
Holy Guardian Angel/Angelic Familiar/Higher Self.
The Ritual of the Holy Guardian Angel, Azal'ucel and The Invocation of the
Adversary may be employed to achieve contact with this
individualistic guide or Initiatic Genius. When you invoke, allow yourself to
become enflame into points of ecstasy, you will grow from this.
The Body of Light
The Body of Light is the astral double which is used to align with the
Angelic Familiar/Higher Self. This Daimon is called Azal'ucel, being the
Sigillic Word combination of Lucifer + Azazel, being the Torch bearer and
awakener through rebellion.
The Body of Light may be developed by meditation, yoga and other acts that
you may visualize a white or fiery essence which rises from your fl esh; it
is a beautiful brilliance of white light, the Luciferian Spirit from the Sun.
Some Will this light to change into a purple - brilliance or blackened
flame within the center, from which an Eye arises. The Eye
145
would represent the Eye of Set/ Shaitan, the Adversary and Immortal
Genius of Self.
The Azal'ucel Ritual and the Rite of the Adversary is a tool which is
aimed at Willed practice to achieve contact with this Higher Self. It is
used to also clear the mind and focus the self on the Work of which you
will undertake.
The Body of Light is brought forth not through dreaming, but the Waking
Plane/Conscious Mind. Find a comfortable place to meditate, decorated in
such which would represent the Higher Self/Daimon. Anoint the neck and
arms in Abramelin Oil and have the chamber lit with natural light if
possible — allowing the Sun to enter the chamber. Remember, the point is to
reach the empyrean or celestial realms of the Aethyr, the Higher
Consciousness of Self.
While quietly meditating, envision the astral body growing, of which a

great fire and light is rising above the physical body, envision and Eye
within this fire. Raise yourself up in through the Aethyr, from which you are
floating and rising in the sky. As you rise begin to visualize a Great Angel
before you. There is a great wind which is violent and rushing about you
and this Seraph. The angel is illuminated in bright light, with Eyes that are
black despite the beautiful and strong continence of this being. The face
is saturnine yet strong, and the aura you sense is tinctured with
darkness beneath the surface. The body of the angel is almost flame, and
his crown is an Emerald Brilliance. In the hand of this Angel is a Forked
Staff, which is cruel looking and sharp. The Wings of this Fire Djinn are
black and sharp, indicating an infernal aspect not so visible in the flames of
self. As you stare into the Eyes of Azazel, called Lucifer or Azal'ucel, a
lightning flash comes from his Left Eye into yours. As this flash strikes you,
a voice is heard within your mind, a single question is asked. You will
know this question as this moment occurs. Move yourself and your body of
Light into this Angelic being, and allow your self to become engulfed in his
fire. Let the eyes open in the astral plane with the eyes of Lucifer; you
shall awaken in this light. Practice this frequently, until you feel an
instinctual communication with this force. You are becoming in the
Luciferian Light.
The Body of Light is used in scrying and of tarot workings as well. Allow the
self to listen to the instincts which grant you foresight, this shall be a
powerful tool in all that you do in daily life. It is highly recommended to
Work with the Spirits of the Goetia after you have achieved a union with the
Body of Light, to confirm self-control and focused direction.

Body of Shadow
e Demonic or Infernal Aspect or Body of Shadow is equally as

ificant in the development of the self. The Shadow is developed by
editation initially and eventually by dreaming. One should approach
e Shadow as the Devil-initiatic guide, be it as Mephistopheles, Belial,
cifuge or Shaitan. Some Luciferians invoke the shadow as the
monic Feminine, as Lilith — Hecate or Babalon, the Crimson Mother of
ccubi and the Beasts of the Earth. Some view Ahriman as correctly the
initiatic and Sorcerous Daimon of the Shadow. The Shadow is the
Vampyric Guide, the shape shifting and phantom body of self.
e Luciferian Path works with such Demonic Forces as Initiatic Guides,

and is related directly to the self. The Shadow is significant as the
dversary as it is the Dreamin Body with sloughs off the waking physical
body for the dreaming or astral plane to go forth to the Sabbat, or the
darkness of night. This is the Immortal and Fiery Eye of Shadow, which
aligned with the Body of Light, grows eternal and is able to separate from
the physical body. When working with Goetic Demons or Angels, allow the
Shadow and Light aspects of the self to invoke them and gain their
knowledge and attributes, that under Willed association, you will grow in
the perception of self. That which you seek from such contact you will
ultimately grow in self by doing such.
The Body of Shadow is developed by the following techniques:
Decorate your temple or chamber in a visually appealing manner,

dragons,demons, the popular image of Set, Lilith, Babalon upon the
Dragon, ect. The dark consciousness should be emanated within your
Black Temple and that the Demonic force of which you shall become by this
Work.
You may anoint yourself in Hecate Oil, Lucifer Oil or even Abramelin Oil.
Sit quietly on a comfortable spot, facing a black or fogged mirror if
possible. Begin first by staring into the mirror and focusing on the very
features of your face. Seek to understand what you tell people by your
features, who you are beneath the surface. This face will in turn become a
mask of what you are underneath the socially constructed
selfmakeup. Begin focusing on what you are in the dark aspects, that which
drives you and your deep desires. Your form will change in the mirror,
begin shaping it unto what shadow form you wish. Now close your eyes and
begin to enflesh the Body of Shadow.
Visualize yourself summon a great blackened shadow, which is fiery and violet
in the fire of spirit. The shadow has long beast like talons, a face
147
which becomes both a Horned Demon Head, scaled with serpent skin
and a Wolf head arising further from the shadows, growling in a human and
beast union. Your shadow grows and expands, and may change form
according to your Will and Desire. Descend below the earth, allowing
your Ahrimanic Shadow to absorb and associate with other demonic
elementals, feelings and emotions. Understand that this Shadow is you, it is
the darkness cast down from the Bright and Illuminated Body of Light
which you have summoned forth. You are perfection incarnate, Luciferian
Brillance and Darkness.
Now you may arise from the Demonium of the Earth to take flight with the
wings of the bat or owl. Rise up into the stormy and cloudy night sky, and fly
forth to the Sabbat Fires in the Ghost Roads of Hecate. As you fly you
approach a great Shadow which is enflamed in front of you. This shape is
hellish and demonic in every way. Its essence is black and haunting, but
as you greet this form it will take shape. The face is that of the Horned Devil,
the almost human visage which is scaled and speaks a deep and hidden
ancient language with a Forked Tongue, his eyes are Yellow and
Crimson, and you feel close to this being. The body is blackened
shadow with talons holding a Forked Stave, which is the same as the
Luciferic Angel you embraced previously. Anoth er head arises from the
shadow, which is the Animal shaped face of Set, which has a horn arising
from the head of Blackened and Violet flame; its eyes are the same as the
others.
The body is of great blackness, from which a plethora of beasts and

demonic shapes circle the Daimon in a counter-clockwise manner. From the
Left Eye of this Bestial Lord of Darkness, a great lightning flash shoots
into your eyes, this throws you into a state of ecstasy. A single question
is asked, which you know the answer to by instinct. You will never be able
to turn back from the Path, as the Lonely Path of Godhood shall be
marked upon your brow as the Mark of Cain. As you are shadow, allow
yourself to grow close to this Infernal King and enter his essence. Open
your astral eyes as this shadow, and understand you may take any form
you wish. You are Vampyre, Incubus, Set-like and Immortal in
essence. You become as Ahriman, the Infernal King who shapes the
World according to his desire. You may communicate and seek various
points of congress with all Goetic Spirits in the Dreaming Plane, your gate
is the Dream. This is the Sabbat Body of which you shall go forth.
You may fly forth to discover a Great Crimson Goddess before you. She is
robed in Red, and her head is covered with a Caul bloody with the Mark of
Birth. Her hands are pale ivory, with blackened and animal like nails, sharp
and cruel. She is encircled with a Great Red Dragon, and two other heads
emerge from her red robe - Hag Like and hissing with serpent
148
Michael W. Ford
in tongues. You ask her to lift her Crimson veil, which she does — A skull is
beneath, the Eyes are of blackness. Before you this skull becomes flesh
rn and a face which is of great beauty looks at you. Her eyes are still Black
ig as Pitch, and she speaks to you of that which you would tell no one. She
is knows you more than anyone else, lover friend or family member.
1,
if This Goddess, being Lilith called Hecate, Ruha-Az or Babalon is the
Goddess of Flame, she is the succubus queen, Vampyre and Dragon
rider. She opens forth her robe and spreads her lips wide, to reveal teeth
and a slithering tongue. She invites you in. The teeth retract yet the
tongue still slithers as you grow close. You shall go unto her, muse and
lover, mother and harlot — Feel this sensual fire within, open your Eyes
with Her within. She embraces you and you are drawn close to kiss her.
Before she touches her lips with yours, she drinks of a golden chalice
which is filled with blood. She licks your lips with another serpent
f tongue, and the taste of blood drives you deep within her. The embrace is
the paramount of ecstasy, from which shakes the foundation of your
being. As you are close to Her, another hand brings up a skull bowl of
blood, which was catching the fornication of her lips below. This is Her
sacrament, the elixir of the Beast and the Venom of the Infernal Sabbat.
Drink Deep and know the Vampyric Reawakening to the Shadow.
When you go forth to the Sabbat or seek dreaming consultation with the
Goetic Spirits, always remember this union with both aspects of the
Shadow, and the Light. This is a mirror of yourself, that by Magick you
become God-like, welcome to the awakening and BECOME!
An Invocation to the Holy Guardian Angel,

Spirit of the Adversary who resides in Darkness and Light - Azal'ucel
The name Azarucel' is a sigillic — word manipulation of two words, Azazel

and Lucifer. As this is the initiator and God form of the Path of Sorcery,
Lucifer is the illuminator of the Soul, the one who allows the magician to
bask in the Light of Self and view ones own reflection in the emerald
crown, the very Lucifer-stone which fell to earth and remains hidden
within the earth, and partially in the heart of man.
This rite is designed to provide a short yet inspired Working of Invoking the
Holy Guardian Angel, from which one shall seek the communion of their
Higher Spirit, Genii, Daemon and True Will. As one comes into contact
with the Angel-Daemon, an illuminated sense of self comes forth; a new type
of being may begin to develop. The Oath of the Magician of the Luciferian
Path is that of Illumination and the Great Work of Becoming. In the
Workings of Goetic Sorcery, no matter if the
149
invocations/evocations are done in the aims of Low Sorcery or High

Sorcery, one should already have sought an operation of Will and the
discovery of the Angel-Serpent Samael, the illuminator of the Path itself. The
common logic behind this theory is that you would not take an
operation without knowing where you wish to go, the plan of how you
shall achieve your goal. Theurgy (High Sorcery) is the Luciferian Principle of
Self-Development, the magician seeks to become like Lucifer.
The Ritual
Let the Sorcerer Cast a Circle about him/her, the Leviathanic -

Ourobouris Circle counter clockwise, then in the same fashion, move
Widdershins in your alignment with the Four Daemon Princes and
SubPrinces, in your own design. Summon then with an Enflamed Mind, the
Dragon-Serpent which is the Angelic Essence of the Soul, the Eye of
Azal'ucel shall burn forth from the darkness to reveal the Light.
The Circle itself is not a tool of keeping Spirits OUT, rather the circle is the
concentration point of which the sorcerer summons forth the
Energies within the Earth through Him/her self, that it is the
ensorcelling of the shades and elementals of the self - the Great Arcana of
the "I", or Luciferian Being. The circle should not be considered a means
of protection, the magician who would fear and cower within a circle and
still seek to summon forces which he will not become 'one' with, is not
strong enough as an individual to understand and becoming in the Magickal
Art. The Isolate and Beautiful Luciferian Initiate does not fear the forces of
which he summons, rather embraces and by the Will controls them. The
same type of mastery must be applied to The Summoning of Goetic
Spirits, no matter the intent, but with an aspect of Respect for that which you
call. Understand the Shades of the Dead have walked beyond the flesh, and
should be viewed as advanced spirits which brings us knowledge and
initiation. When invoking/evoking Goetic Djinn, know that these fire-born
spirits who fell with Lucifer-Azazel, hold too a special knowledge - and the
Self and individual mind is that which will commune with them. Be firm in
your Works, yet respectful.
"I am the Daimon who speaks the words of the Immortal Fire, the Holy
Flame which emerges from the Lightning Flash and Storm of Chaos bred, so
this the angel-serpent shall come forth with the Birthing Knife shedding into
storm of Seth!
Spirit of which the Fallen have taken Strength, Isolate and Beautiful,
Angelic Essence, Azal'ucel, from which came into being Cain
I do invoke thee!

Invocation of the Adversary
The following is a ritual which may be conducted when the Sun is at its
full light, or when the Moon is full or dark, as the essence of Iblis be
finally revealed. The purpose of the ritual is invoking the spirit of the
Adversary, known as Shaitan/Iblis, Satan, Lucifer, Set, Azazel ........
151
The sorcerer shall seek the fire-spirit of change, rebellion and

progression. The symbol of Set the Adversary shall take the earthen form of
the Devil, the solar creative (and destructive) force of change and
selfdeification.
There are two primary faces of the Adversary. The celebrant may
construct as mask of two sides, which shall be placed upon the center of the
altar. A phallic symbol or 'Stone God' may be near the mask as well,
symbolizing the Solar Creative Force of the Beast 666. -
One- The Fallen Seraph Lucifer, the angelick essence of the Black Flame, the
very source of our wisdom, being and becoming.
Two - The Seraph of Flame, the Djinn Iblis of Fire, Daemon of the
Blackened Flame, serpent - beast - dragon - wolf - goat. Satanas is the
devil-cloaked initiator of the path of the wise, those who laugh at the
warnings of a cringing society.

THE CIRCLE
The Circle is an old boundary which was used back from the eldest days of
Magical practice, specifically the Sumerian word Zisurru, which is the circle
drawn in flour. The flour itself is known as qemu, such aspects of primal
sorcery have survived to the present age in various cultures, in Voudon
practices and even Thelemic Magick, Sabbatic and Luciferian Witchcraft.
The Flour Circle is not by any means a must, one may create an Ourabouris
- Levianthanic Boundary which is symbolic of the Self Encircled, tha t
fascination and self-enchantment leads to the Gates of the Infernal and
Celestial Peaks of Magick Light, the awakening of ones Will and divinity.
The Circle should be understood as the essence of the Self, that it is the
bridge between the waking and dreaming, between the celestial and infernal,
the fiery essence of the Azazel. The original circle of
Solomon as redesigned by Aleister Crowley is indeed powerful in form, e.g.
Ourabouric Circle, but in working with such a more Luciferian focus was
needed. The Leviathan which makes the circle, is sigillized and charged
essentially with the names of Luciferian power, being SABAOTH (The Lord of
the Sabbat, or the Sabbatic God, associated with Zabbathi) ADONAI (The
Lord of the Earth, associated with Lucifer)
AZAL'UCEL (the Sigillic word formula of Azazel and Lucifer, used as the
initiator or Genius of the Holy Guardian Angel Rite presented in this
edition)
BABALON (the Power form of the Goddess from Lilith - Hecate - AZ, the
Daemonic Feminine)
LILITH (The Queen of the Sabbat - the Vampyre, the Lady of the
Crimson Caul, the Mother of Cain and the creator of Succubi)
These names as scribed around the circle are in the Witch-Language
commonly known as Theban. This provides a yet known but unseen sigillic
formula not indifferent from the Alphabet of Desire, as suggested by Austin
Osman Spare (See the BOOK OF PLEASURE, 93 Publishing, Quebec
Canada).

THE EVOCATION CIRCLE/TRIANGLE
r AIME ZL 71/ 51..1-0

In regard to the Goetic triangle of evocation, a distinction should be
presented. The Three Points of the triangle refers to the Three Aspects of
Hekate, being a meeting place of spirits often symbolized as the
Crossroads. The historical triangle in Ceremonial Magic is the
materializing point of the Daimon. While the present work explores the path
of invoking such forces, the triangle itself served to unite the Demonic
(Chthonic/Atavistic) with the Angelic (Celestial/Empyrean). The triangle
contains in the center a circle; this is the summoning point of which
Solomon was said to bind such spirits. The inside of the triangle contains
the name AZAZEL, being a significant change from the traditional
MICHAEL. The purpose of this is to have the circle blessed with the deific
power of Azazel, who is also more commonly recognized as Lucifer. As the
Sorcerer of the Left Hand Path seeks communion and a form of
Antinomianian self-deification, an association of self with Azazel is thus
made, a formal confirmation of the dedication of the path. It is by this self -
deification that the Daimon is controlled within the circle by the focused
Will of the magician, rather than a 'holy' force. This is a
psychological approach in which the sorcerer fully relies on the Will to
control the ritual, thus adding a real sense of danger to the rite. Care
should be practiced however with this distinction, as the Djinn of this
book are both ancient and cunning.
Traditionally, the triangle should be 2 feet distant from the magic circle and
three feet across. The triangle should be place towards which quarter
where the spirit evoked would belong. The base of the triangle would be
near the circle, the apex would point in the quarter of the spirit. It is
suggested that one observes the Moon also in the operation.
The names surrounding the triangle are ANAPHEAXETON,
TETRAGRAMMATON and PRIMEUMATION.
THE ATHAME OR BLADE OF THE WHITE HILT
156
Michael W. Ford
White Hilt knife is the Magickal Tool of the Work of Illumination of

Angelic Guide, the Solar and Luciferian Blade of the Divine Will. The le
Hilted Knife is used in such works such as Workings of the Divine
, or Angelick - Holy Guardian Angel. The Athame is also used in
ulating and visualizing light around the self - encircling the being. ou
will want to decorate the handle in the runes of summoning and
tection, as first described in "The Key of Solomon the King" (Clavicula
omonis), Translated by S.L. MacGregor Mathers. The Blade should be de
in the hour of Mercury when in the sign of the Ram or Scorpion. ou may
alternatively conduct such when the Moon is Waning in a more
bable time frame.
en you obtain a white handled knife, roughly six inches long wait til
the Moon is waning. Fill a bucket or basin with distilled and ied
water and pour salt, Abramelin Oil and a few drops of your own
lood. You will then wish to have a small fire which you will hold the lade
over. As it is heated in the flame, envision the fires of Azazel and Hecate,
purifying and blessing the blade with your divine Will. It is the may blade
which once consecrated, should be seen as forged by Cain from the metal
from Lucifer's Crown, in the very Forge of Cain does the Fire of Iblis bless.
When the blade is heated, take the knife and place it in the water -
By the Blood I give I empower this Blade, the very knife of my Divine Will
By the Moon Waxing and Waning I do receive the Fallen Stars fiery and
ancient
Blade of steel do I summon thee, with the fires of Azazel called Shaitan do I
consecrate thee, by the flames of Hecate do I empower thee!
The circle is cast in the Sabbat journey of the Celestial and Infernal -
Blessed is this sacred blade -From the meteor which fell from the crown of
Lucifer!
By the metal blessed in the fiery forge of Our Lord Daeva, who is Cain the
Cloaked One So mote it be!
THE BLACK HILTED KNIFE (Evocation Dagger)
The Black Hilted Knife is the blade of Barbarous Evocation, the knife
dedicated to Shaitan of Midnight and Banal, the Daemonic Adversarial
Blade of Lucifer, the sacred weapon of banishing and commanding - the
fulgaris lightning bolt of the fallen Djinn.
The Black Hilted Knife is used for making the circle and commanding the
spirits into the Triangle, the sacred circle within the meeting place of
spirits.
The Blade may be consecrated in the hour of Saturn. As well when the
moon is waning create a distilled water container and fill with blackened
157
pepper, Hecate Oil and a few drops of your own blood. With the flame
burning, hold the blade within. Envision the fires of the underworld, of
Hecate-Lilith and Banal, of the Daemonic Gods below who open the gates of
our own transformation. Envision the fire empowering the blade with the
serpent tongue of Shaitan of Midnight, the purifier of the black handled
knife.
As the blade is immersed in the water, recite-
By the Mysteries of the Depths, the Coiling Dragon of Old

Beheld to the Gates of Leviathan
By Hecate and the Skull Wreathed in Roses, which is silence and beauty I
summon thee blade of steel, envenomed in the Darkness of the Earth Do
become knife of the Devil's Claw, my sacred tool of summoning
Water-Daemon of the Blade be born
By Banal and those of the shadowed
realmsBlade be blessed! So mote it be!!
THE WAND
The Wand is the fiery essence of the Magician, the Will of the Work itself.
Create or decorate your own Wand which shall reflect your sacred
symbols and desire of your becoming. Austin Spare called these sacred
letters as the Alphabet of Desire, a sigillized form of the subconscious
and symbols which represent the Higher Articulation of the Self. The
Luciferian Will which is self-immolated unto perfection. The Wand should be
cut, painted and decorated with the specific Sigils from Ones Alphabet and
done so in the Noon Tide Sun, sacred to Shaitan, the Djinn of Fire. The
wand corresponds also to the Phallus, the solar vessel which spills forth
the Elixir of the Sun.
THE PENTACLE OF TETRAGRAMMATON
The symbol of strength and conceptual imagery of the Pentacle of

Solomon, the Magus who bound the Djinn of this Book. The Pentacle
may be worn as a method of encircling the Self in the Mask of Purity,
thus remaining a symbol of the Mind in Unity with the Will. Often in
evocation/invocation, spirits become points of Obsessional Belief which
seem to 'speak' or send 'impulses' and 'desires' to the sorcerer which may be
contrary to the purpose of the Ritual. The Pentacle of
Solomon/Tetragrammaton is the Sigil of the Will of God (God may
represent SET or the Divine Will - the Isolate Self). You may have the
Pentacle of Tetragrammaton on your person, symbolic of the Will of the Rite.
When one enters the Cross-Roads of Spirits you are in the Arena of Anon,
the Spirits which have existed between the Aethyr and the Earth for
timeless ages - the take the flesh of our desires, therefore posing a
dangerous tight rope walk of obsession/possession. Consider the
158
Michael W. Ford
Strength of Will as the Guide in the Working, thus the reason for one
being in direct contact with the HGA/Angel-Serpent and envenomed with the
Light of Set or the Adversary.
The names within the Tetragrammaton represent the power of Will that the
magicians holds in the working, thus within the Pentagram which
ascends towards the Luciferian realm of Air. Tetragrammaton is the
formula of the Holy Guardian Angel or Higher Self/ Daimon (Genius).
Soluzen in the center represents the Shade or Spirit which is summoned to

come forth in the Point, the very meeting place of spirits (the Triangle and
Circle).
B &tar is to speak that we may hear and understand thee (instinct and
impulse, realization).
13 ;Ronny is to show us the treasures of which we seek (initiation,
awakened and renewed, developed perception).

H tlliza is to appear in a human shape, or that which we may wish to view.
159
Pr- ■Il
Abdia is to Will this spirit or Daimon to join with us in ascended union,

that the Luciferian Spirit becomes in this light of the Sun or Moon.
THE VESSEL OF SOLOMON
This is in a modern context the Fetish or Urn which is the "home" of the
spirit. It is also known as an nganga, such in the methods of primal
sorcery. The magician should create or obtain such a pot or urn for
which you will summon and bind such spirits to. This is traditionally
symbolic to the vessel of Solomon of which he bound the 72 Djinn of the
Shemhamforasch. The sorcerer who seeks to transmit the knowledge of old
through their essence of being may use these vessels as a womb for the
daemon of the Sun or the Moon. Upon obtaining the proper urn or
160
Michael W. Ford
pot, wash and purify the vessel for a time. Allow it to dry in the Light of
Dawn until Dusk. Allow the Sun's rays to purify the urn and prepare it to
house the Great Familiars and Djinn of the Fallen Angels, who still walk in
spirit among and within us.
The Vessel will indeed become their binding place once they have been
evoked and then bound into the pot. The most dangerous method of
binding the spirits to the vessel is the "Earthenware Virgin" formula
designed by Austin Osman Spare. This involves a Sexual technique of
self-fascination in which the elixir is kept and buried in the vessel for
some days and nights. This is an optional method which is very
dangerous to the process which it is created.
Vessel Preparation may continue once the pot has been cleaned. The
magician will scribe the binding sigil of Solomon upon it, as this will
exteriorize the force summoned to reside in this temple in the earth,
which you may communicate with by dreams. It is optional for the
sorcerer to add a drop of his or her own blood in the vessel to consecrate it as
his own.
The Sigil will be prepared on

Virgin Parchment or some high
quality paper. It may have a
strong reinforced backing such as
a piece of Leather or
Toadskin (if common
amphibious frogs or such
inhabit an area, watch for dead
ones which you may use). The
Vessel itself may contain a
layer of grave soil and images,
perfumes or such which you
associate with the Spirit.
Once the Magicians summons in

the evocation circle the
Spirit, and then enters the
point to become one with the
spirit - the very essence
inbetween, then the force will
be Willed by concentration and enchantment (of reciting the binding
spell) into the vessel. If Sexual Evocation, allow the elixir to enter the
vessel upon climax. If one is Working with a partner, a woman, then she
161
_ii
may utilize both male and female sexual fluids to create and give
material basis for the spirit. This is not by itself necessary; the solitary
magician may conduct successfully this creation or summoning method
alone. Beware the union of the fluids of the Sun and the Moon, as it
leads to a strong Familiar who for the inexperienced, may cause mental
stress for the magician.
After the Evocation and Binding of the Spirit to the Vessel, bury it in a
graveyard or some designated area by a great Tree or hidden place. It
shall reside there for a period of when the Dark Moon begins and grows
towards the Full Moon. You may evoke it above the burial space on those
nights, envisioning it growing in strength with your Willed focus.
On the Night of the Fullmoon, exhume the Vessel and in the Temple
invoke the spirit through the Black Mirror of Circle, seek the inspiration of
the spirit and then retire to sleep. Take notes to the dreaming
communion and meeting of the force, it will guide you to the answers you
seek. Do not threaten or seek to harm the spirit without purpose, but be
firm and consistent in your communication. Demand fairly it conduct the
purpose of its summoning.
The essence of Sorcery is the focused view of Self-Enchantment. Self-

Enchantment is the process of remanifesting inspiration aspects of
obsessional perception, the instinctual guide which leads one to
àutomatic' (in reference to Automatic Drawing, the subconscious
unveiled) communication with the Serpent-Angel, Azal'ucel (Holy
Guardian Angel/True Will) or initiatic guide. Self-Enchantment is also the
directional point which is the obsessional direction of ones sorcerous path.
The Path of Sorcery is the direct road built from self-enchantment and the
union with the isolate core essence of being (HGA). Sorcery is the
rejuvenating obsession of encircling belief into flesh. This may be
understood by Austin Osman Spare's conceptual theory of manifestatio n
- Will-Desire-Belief, self-enchantment/obsession leads to the
destruction/vampyric death of unnecessary ideals which plague the self in
numerous forms. In primal cultures these dogmatic ideals manifest as self-
created sickness and disease. By destroying their foundation in the mind,
one may absorb their very elixir of 'life' and devour their 'flesh' as well. This
is the very essence of the exorcism of the Tchod Rite of Tibetan Magic - the
Rebirth of the "I" as a layered aspect of the core self or AngelDaemon. The
self adds layers of conscious - subconscious antiquity, based on
conscious desire and ones surroundings. This may lead to laziness,
sloth and an undisciplined Will. It is essential to undertake periodic
Workings to invigorate the mind via Self-Enchantment.
THE BLACK MIRROR
162
Michael W. Ford
Considered a tool of scrying and divination, the black mirror proves also a
tool of contacting and communicating with Spirits and shades of the dead
as well. The black mirror is made of something such as onyx or perhaps
even a plate of glass painted with a rich black, for which a reflection is
still obtainable. Some chaos sorcerers have created black mirrors from a
piece of glass with black electrical tape on the reverse side. This proves
efficient and inexpensive as well as offering the same affect.
That mirrors can be gateways into the realms of the dead and even Hell is
no new theory. The Hebrews believed that the mirror was a gateway into
the caves of Lilith and her Succubi offspring. Young women were
discouraged from using mirrors for this reason, lest they become
possessed by the Demoness, who will drive th em to sexual acts with
sleeping men. The Black Mirror is considered also a tool for Atavistic
Resurgence that the demons of the mind or the lycanthropic state may be
brought out by enchanting the self to open the imagination to images in the
reflection.
The Black Mirror in the Work of the Goetia is used as a tool to

communicate with the bound spirit or familiar after initial evocation. The
sorcerer who summons the Angel or Demon may bind it accordingly to the
vessel, and at a later time evoke the spirit again and use the Black Mirror
to visualize its form and impressions it may send. If a specific Goetic
spirit is bound with the magician as a familiar/ famulus, then the Black
Mirror is ideal in communication. Some have used divination boards in
front of black mirrors to communicate with spirits, this techniques
proves a powerful gnosis to step into, as you essentially bring the
astral/ghost realm into the physical plane.
The mirror is used in the following way-
1. Summon the Spirit in the Evocation Circle

2. Bind the Spirit to the vessel and sigil accordingly.
3. Use the mirror to contact the spirit later after it has been bound.
4. Contact the spirit before sleep to ensure a detailed communication
- if you dare.
,EEKING FIRST COMMUNICATION-
Once the spirit has been properly bound to the vessel, you may wish to
communicate or experience the visions it may send you. Keep in mind, all
of these visions may not be pleasant and if your Will is weak you have the
danger of becoming obsessed with the force.
Place the circle again in the chamber in the triangle -
163
PP'
If you have made a doll or effigy to hold the spirit, place the doll in the
Triangle - This is the very meeting place of spirits. Burn the incense and
very few candles should be lit. The ambience of the chamber should be
suitable for bringing their world into ours.
RITUAL EVOCATION WITH THE BLACK MIRROR
"Spirit N. I do rouse thee from the vessel, tomb of darkness. I summon and call
unto thee spirit N. to arise from thy vessel and present thyself in the
reflection of this mirror. Present yourself in the form of which that is
known, impart upon me thy visions of the world of shadows, and that
which I seek to know."
The spirit should appear in the black mirror or in the darkened chamber you
will feel a presence and then begin viewing images, perhaps even your
own visage changing into this form. When you have viewed what you
Will, thank the spirit and end the rite. If you sleep shortly
afterwards, keep a journal next to you to observe the images which you may
see.
SEXUAL EVOCATION
The Triangle is the very meeting places of spirit and sorcerer, thus is the
channeling point of summoning. Place the vessel, doll or pot of which the
spirit is bound - along with a copy of the sigil for focus in the evocation
circle (triangle).
Illuminate the chamber in low light, incense and that which is pleasant to
both the magician and the spirit. Visualize the spirit growing within the
vessel as you silently summon it -
Begin arousing yourself with the enchantments of your own imagination.

Understand this spirit is formed from you, something of a familiar and
spirit you have given life to. Focus on the desire of which caused you to
evoke the spirit in the first place (divination, knowledge, ect) and focus
intently upon this. As you reach the climax, focus on the sigil of the
spirit and allow your mind to black out (i.e. death posture) in this
moment of ecstasy. After you have made this sacrifice of anointing some of
the fluids on the sigil, banish (by forgetting or what technique you have
created to clear the mind) and end the rite.
If you have a partner in the rite, you will both focus on the spirit and not on
each other rather than Willed Desire and Lust of the flesh.
Concentrate on the aspects of the spirit of which you relate to it,
associations, etc. When you reach a climax loose yourself in the ecstasy

forth that which I have called you for, that I shall also seek your servitors,
those whom obey your command.
By the Pentacle of Solomon have I summoned thee! Give unto me a True

Answer"
COMMUNION
Depending upon the technique of the summoning, being Sexual
Congress, Ceremonial or Meditative (Black Mirror), you will want to
envision this spirit outside of the self, in the summoning triangle of
spirits. Notice the attributes of the spirit, what makes it powerful and
what it represents to you.
PREPARING THE MATERIAL BASIS

One may now focus upon the sigil of the Spirit, by enflaming the self via
envisioning your sexual desire in the form of a black serpent which rises
through your spine - starting at the base. As it moves up you will
enflame yourself more. If with a partner, they shall envision the same to
materialize the spirit. Begin visualizing what this spirit looks like, feels like
and what form it takes. Visualize how it speaks to you and the
familiars of which it governs. As you reach climax, you ascend into the
Celestial Heights of the Luciferian Sabbat - When the mind is led
through the Axis of the Point of Light, the solar force of Azazel. Annoint the
Sigil in the Sexual fluid of either yourself (if solitary) or both yourself and
your partner. At the moment of ecstasy, you shall take the flesh of the
beast and along with the Djinn - spirit, descend unto the Infernal Sabbat
of the Death Posture, from which you shall emerge in the flesh of the circle.
The ensorcerling of belief is significant unto the practitioner
167
who by self-enchantment and the combination of Will-Desire-Belief, have

transcended the separation of lfesh and spirit.
After you have consecrated the sigil, close the circle and the spirit form,
while weak, will remain in essence. When the mind becomes interlocked
with this force, and the sinking from ecstasy into the Infernal Sabbat of the
Waking Self, then it may bring inspiration of what you seek, which shall
emerge later. Seal the vessel and bury it in a safe place in the darkness
of the earth. You will then wish to keep it buried for Nine Nights,
which holds its basis in Vampyric folklore. You may go to the place of
where it is buried to burn a black and white candle in the night hours, and
envision the Angel or Daemon while it grows in being. In the tenth day, at
Dawn, dig up the vessel and clean the exterior. You will then summon the
spirit in the Evocation Circle, and then either perform an Invocation to call
in the force, which will remain connected with you in dreams until you
destroy and burn the vessel and contents. You may also summon the spirit
in the Black Mirror, and meditate upon it until communication is gained.
INVOCATION
The Sorcerer may invoke the spirit at certain points of the rite, after the
Vessel has been created and the Spirit is bound to it. Initial Evocation
and creation rites do not involve this process.
At the moment of envisioning this force, summon it now within the
sacred circle of self, call the spirit into your self, by Will alone. Some
magicians have actually entered the circle, and by their enflaming of self can
then possession occur. Let the spirits and shades dance within your mind,
filled with the ecstasy of invocation. Control and understand the spirit,
never surrender complete control. When you have reached beyond the peak
of gnosis, the mind will forget the summons of the spirit and you will
close the circle. You may recall this force when you are in need. This is
specifically why the mentally ill or weak of mind should not conduct
such workings - the self may seek to destroy itself in such a manner.
LICENCE TO DEPART
"Hail to thee Spirit N., thou hast answered my questions, and has caused no
harm or danger to man or beast. You may depart now unto your place of rest
and repose. Be with me in dreams and in flesh as I desire, yet thou art free to
leave this dwelling at Will. So it is done. One may command the spirit in the
vessel within the triangle, just as one would summon the spirit into visible
appearance."

limited to - total
environments,
advanced sorcery
techniques
which crystallize
areas of ones

the development of strength and will. As one evokes Asmoday, a

if ones concentration of Will is upon the circle, hold it fast to the meeting
place of spirits. Asmoday may be summoned by self-enchantment as in
Karezza (Karezza is masturbation without climax, always Willed) or other
means. A Sex
Magickal operation
involving the
consecration of his
Sigil with
secretions/ fluids of
both male and
female will create
Asmoday, as
suggested rightly so
by Aleister Crowley.
Qabalistic lore has
long warned of such,
as it is said to breed
demons. In a self-
initiatory sense, it is
ideal and powerful.
Asmoday/Asmodeus
grants 72 Legions of
Spirits, and shows
//
- one where treasure
may be found. This
translates to the

accordingly.

opens forth a new road of power which moves beyond folk magick. At first
glance many can wonder how this may be of any initiatory value, but once
one moves through the familiar of the Toad, the elder image of Ahriman
(Satan) and of witchcraft some very powerful situations can arise.
Traditionally, the toad is related to malefic or diabolic powers which are

granted by the Devil. It is known in Zoroastrian lore that Ahriman or
Satan created toads and frogs and then assumed their image at times
when appearing on earth. The toad, as being the black cat, has
traditionally been associated with witchcraft and the devil. This due no
doubt to the hidden aspects of both animals, being that the witch or
sorcerer places their belief and association into the animal.
The Toad Rite is a Working which guides the practitioner into a

ìnbetween' land which is surreal and equally as interesting. It is not just the
Toad which is the center of the Working itself, but the spirits which are
summoned to encircle the practitioner. Hecate comes forth to her
children in Three Shades, Phantoms or Ghosts who encircle the
summoner and passes on power to the initiate who is not unlike her, in
other words an isolate and strong spirit - one who is ready to - and dares to -
test the devil to become the Lord of the Shadowed Path.
It must be made certain that the Toad Rite is not required nor always
suggested to the practioner of the Luciferian Path. A prerequisite is that
there are omens and signs which lead you by instinct to the rite, and that
proper preparations and self-development of magical work is done therein.
This rite may be undertaken with the Toad but also the Black Cat as has
been seen in America.
The Toad Rite is sacred to the Hecate - Trevia, whose Three ways are the
path to her consort, Satandar (the Earthly body being Cain) or Azazel,
called Lucifer. For the Three Nights from which you shall seek the power of
the Toad Bone, you shall call upon each shade of Hecate to bless and
empower your path, for you shall move through the dark of the Moon to the
Path of the Sun. The feminine is essential in the development of the Rite,
and the encircling of the power given by the devil. It should be known
therein that one is seeking to Master the Devil, to overcome the test given
by this initatior, which you should become like Satan in his
202
Michael W. Ford
image and wielding the inbetween and dual power of Hecate, both Night and
Day.
The Witch Fire of Hecate is the fire of the blackened forge, the flame of
Luciferian Being which grows and crystallizes as one moves through with
their own self-initiation. It must be remembered that Hecate is a Goddess The
Toad Rite is perhaps one of the most omen bearing, or dangerous to the
gates of the mind. Approach the rite without haste or increased desire,
rather a Willed and Focused resolve to become through the ritual itself.
The Ritual undertaken known as STAUROS BATACHOU (LIBER LXX, the

Cross of the Frog) by Aleister Crowley was indeed his ritual to pass
through to the Grade of Magus. The ritual itself was based on Christian
symbolism from which the Frog or Toad is visualized as Christ itself, and the
magician is symbolized as a Snake or Serpent, to devour the Toad
symbolically. The sorcerer is to stab the Toad with a Knife of Art (Athame)
and thus absorb the spirit of the Toad.
In the modern assumption of the Luciferian Path, the Toad takes a

different yet equally effective symbolism. The Toad must come
essentially, to the witch who shall undertake the rite. One is advised to
create Two Spirit Pots (See BOOK OF THE WITCH MOON, NOX UMBRA or
YATUK DINOIH by the Present Author) which are the vessels or Nganga of the
Shadow (Astral body - Ka) or Light (Soul - Ba) forms of the magician. They
are created with sigils, blood of the sorcerer and sexual fluids, buried in
the earth in the style suggested by Austin Osman Spare as the
"Earthenware Virgin". This produces a charged shadow and demonic
aspect of the self, growing outside of the physical body in the realm of
dreaming, thus a path of the self growing as an Immortal Being, the
Blackened Flame illuminated and slowly crystallized.
This is by itself a rite which arises from the East Anglican Folk Magic
traditions, but yet aligned with the shadow and Nightside aspects of
Cain. Through the Toad one begins the thorn covered road of the Dragon,
which is illuminated within the self. The Toad Rite was undertaken by
myself April 23rd, 2003 E.V. when the Moon was in Aquarius. The rite itself
was brought about through the tract of OZ, which is the number of
Capricorn and the symbolism of Night and Death, Goat/Buck/Devil. The
numerical 77 was presented in dreaming through its symbolism, and was
an Omen to which the Toad arrived. The following text is ritual and record,
a montage and blending of both. You may adapt accordingly if you so
choose to undertake this ritual. The Toad Witch is considered dangerous,
feared yet also doomed to face a violent death. Within my own personal
initiatic perspective, one chooses their own path, and to
203
become the Lord of the Devil, which is OZ, one must think in Daimonic
Time, the ebb and flow of your words making power and flesh now. The
Triangle and meeting place of the spirit is symbolized as the Sun in the
Toad Ritual, and the Three Forks are the Three Direct Points which lead to
the Sun, the Beast 666 who is transformative under the light of the
illuminated self.
ITEMS REQUIREDA
small pouch.

The Patron Spirits of the Toad Ritual
Hecate The three formed Goddess of Crossroads, Death and

Necromancy. She is the spirit of Night and Vampyric Shades which
haunt the earth. One may give a gift of Honey to her upon consecrating a
graveyard for your meditations and workings. Hecate is the Spirit which
surrounds you in the Toad Rite, as with the Three Shades of Hecate.
Satandar/Satanachia (Cain the Devil) - The Demon Initiator, the very

spirit which resides in the bone charm of the Toad Rite. This spirit tests and
challenges the initiate, but those who can remain on their path will benefit
from the Devil itself. Satanachia is a spirit which holds power over the
feminine, or women and is a familiar guide in sex magick workings. It
is this masculine energy which is the transformative essence of the Sun.
Satandar is also known as a fiery essence of glyph/ symbol of Ahriman, the
Devil and Cain the First Witch of the Circle and first Satanist.
Lucifuge Rofocale (Shadow of Lucifer, one part of the Adversary in the

Grimoire tradition) - the Night Familiar of Sorcery, Luciferian
Witchcraft & Magick. Lucifuge is a spirit which translates "Fly the Light" and
is made in reference to aerial spirits who fly in the darkness.
Lucifuge is the subordinate of Lucifer in the Grand Grimoire or Red
Dragon, from which he resides in air and the earth.
Fleurety (a familiar of flight and dreaming transformation) - A spirit

over "Night labor" and is made reference to as a familiar who guides one in
the Workings at night. One may invoke Fleurety to presi de over the spirits
of night, to guide those familiars of the unconscious which may be out of
Willed contact by the sorcerer.
204
Michael W. Ford
Nebiros (Death, the Demon of Necromancy and Divination) - This

spirit is said to have the ability to cause harm to any individual he wills.
Nebiros is a powerful Demon-Spirit who is said to be one of the most
powerful Necromancers in the infernal realms. Nebiros is said to also find the
Hand of Glory and the discovery of metals and all animals. His servitor
spirits are Naberrs, Ayperos and Glassyalabolas. Nebiros is a powerful
shade summoning demon used in not only Toad Rite Workings (in relation
to the graveyard and certain Hecate workings) but also diviniation and
necromancy.
When the Toad is obtained by natural means (the creature comes near you
or is found accordingly) it must be skinned. The bottom jaw must be cut
entirely off, the skin off the back and head is removed. The skin on the
body should be cut carefully (without damaging the meat or bones) and
removed including the arms and legs. The rest will be the actual bones
connected with the meat. Stretch the skin out on a white piece of paper to
dry out, keep in the sun the next day if possible. If one keeps a sorcerous
vessel of blood, containing the blood of the magician used in Familiar
charging rites, scribed with the symbol of the fallen or averse pentagram,
then the Eyes of the toad should be removed carefully and
put into the Blood filled vessel, with a chant reproduced below.
Seal the Vessel as usual and place upon thy altar of Art.
The innards of the Toad which contain no bones should be buried in the soil
of where the Twin Vessels were created, thus is already a charged soil
within a Graveyard or other sacred land. The insides of the Toad should
be given as a gift to the Soil, and a prayer to Hecate and Ahriman should be
made-
"I give unto the sacred heart and innards of the Toad to thee,
Mother Hecate and Ahriman, that with this offering I shall become as
thee, Immortal and a Walker between the Worlds of Darkness and
Flesh. Accept this offering of the Toad, that every part of this sacred
creature shall be honored and given back to the earth, shall I then
become the Devil itself, flesh and soul sanctified in the sacred fire of
Azazel, the Blackened Forge of Cain the Path of Loneliness and
Ankou'd solitude."
The Toad flesh and bones shall be taken to an ant hill, wherein the meat
and such is placed for the ants to devour. Meditate upon the
transformative process that by devouring the corpse the ess ence is
revealed. Take then the bones in all back to the Temple and place in a safe
and sacred place. You may perfume the bones in the essence and oil of
Hecate, that by an appropriate night you shall go to a stream and cast the
bones in. One or more bones will seemingly float towards you and
205
this shall be the Omen of thy

gift. All the surroundings will
seek to distract you, yet your
Will must be focused and
resolved. Take the bone and
keep on you for three nights.
You may seek out lonely and
haunted places each for the
three nights. This may be a
graveyard or some place from
which you seek out the
phantoms of the night. They
shall test you in various ways,
yet you shall be Willed and
Focused. On what is the Third
Night, each night a meeting with
the Shades of Hecate, you shall
finally meet the Devil before
you.
In your mind you shall be tested by the Devil, who will encourage that you
bury the bones in the soil of a grave, and shall be given in return the powers
that you seek. Do not pay heed to this, save you shall fail miserably in
the rite. You must refuse the devil continually, and keep the bone on you at
all times. Do not give to this testing spirit, as you must move forward and
succeed. At the end of the Rite, you will be smiled upon by the Devil,
Satandar, whom you shall in fact BECOME AS. You shall be then the Lord
of the Devil, the Vicar of the Son of the Devil, the Antichrist as so
described by John Whiteside Parsons, the Son or Daughter of the Beast
666.
If on any of these three nights, you sleep in the sunken area of a grave
many nightmares shall be sent to you. A corpse of green and gray flesh
shall seek you out and ask for the congress she so desires in life. That
smells are not normally recognized in dreams, and you can find the lust to
copulate with this phantom, she will use the Nocturnal Emissions to breed
demons and give strength to the shades of that land. You will be brought
forth as a Horseman as Cain, a Master of Spirits who shall listen to you. Pay
heed to the spirit, and let her not take the Toad Bone, save disaster and
ruin for the mind and psyche.

The Toad Rite
Being the ceremony to obtaining a familiar spirit of a Luciferian nature,

Inspired by TO MEGA THERION, the Beast 666 known as Aleister
Crowley in relation to the Toad Ritual from St. John the Divine.
Presented anew in the Light of Lucifer through the Mask of Satandar, the
Patron Familiar and Witch King of the Rite of the Toad and Hecate, the
Triple Goddess of darkness, shades and the path of sorcery. Let the
practitioner be aware, as the Shadows of Satandar or Ahriman are
revealed and illuminated by the Fire of Self, shall then Cain be presented as
the patron earthen spirit of the Toad Witch.
0) This ritual is a presentation of the magician representing a serpent,

thus intelligence and self-transformation. The familiar is an illuminated
Angelick Guide, the very source of which ones Holy Guardian Angel, or
Angelic Familiar/True Will arrives. The Toad Ritual brings the initiate to
the brink of madness and the abyss, from which he or she may not
emerge from. It is the test of the witchcraft itself, the powers of the earth at
the command of the sorcerer. You shall test the Devil and thus it shall test
you. If you walk this path to overcome and master this beast, you shall be
the Devil's Lord. The practitioner is symbolized as the Snake, the seeker of
wisdom.
207
PP-
The Toad may be caught by the signs which you shall know. Allow the
spirit to be your guide, let instinct direct you on the time and place. You
shall catch the toad and it shall be known to you as the path of which you
shall take. It is the Luciferian approach of the shadows of Ahriman, as the
Toad was traditionally a form the Lord of Darkness would assume. The toad
is also sacred to Hekt, a frog-headed goddess related to the Queen of
the Sabbat, being Hecate - Our mother of the crossroads and the
Goddess of Incantations.
The toad after it has been caught will be placed in a special chest, with
moisture and a small amount of soil for the creatures comfort. Crowley
mentioned, "Thou didst not abhor the virgin's womb", in a Luciferian
sense, the Womb of Lilith is the vessel of the toad. If the toad is brought to
you by Omen inspired means, then adapt accordingly.
I) When the Toad has been crucified, or the corpse obtained is dead
(killed by an omen brought moment), you shall anoint yourself in the
Holy Oil of Hecate. The Toad should have a slice made on the side of the
body -BOTH SIDES - where the back rough skin ends and the soft belly
skin begins. Cut the skin carefully by the neck down past the legs. You
will then cut the legs and arms off. Carefully peel the skin off both. Place
this skin on a white piece of paper, stretched out accordingly. Take now a
sharp knife and peel the skin from the actual meat, from which you must
be gentle to avoid tearing the skin. When you cut this back far enough,
the Spine will be going into the base of the skull. Take a sharp pair of
scissors and cut close to the skull. The spine will be still attached with the
actual meat. Cut the bottom jaw at each point, removing it completely.
You will want to cut and scrap out any flesh or meat within. The Bottom
have should have the skin removed completely, and stretched out
carefully on a piece of paper. Ensure no meat or innards are attached to
the skin.
II) The flesh with bones should be placed in a sealed plastic bag and
placed in an ice box, this to ensure freshness (and avoid the Rot in the
meantime, especially if you live in an area of high humidity) before taking to
an ant hill. You will at this point take the head/skull and skin (still
attached) and carefully cut out the eyes. Take care not to puncture the
Eyes themselves, they are small and delicate. Once they have been
removed, perform the chant and place both in your vessel of blood or the
Shadow Vessel-
"Eyes of the Toad, Sacred creature of Ahriman Shall become as the

Eyes of Ahriman You are now the Bringer of the Devil's Path unto me,
That I shall walk further into the shadows, yet arise in Light as the
Lord of the Path Ahriman, see with these eyes through my eyes,
208
Michael W. Ford
Reside Eyes of the Toad in my own Blood, That thy spirit is mine and
we are of darksome union. Toad brought gift of Hecate, Mother of
Shades and Demons, I come to thee Sacred Initiator, I thank thee for
thy gift of the Toad, which is my step further in the Devil's Path With
these Eyes I may see in the Dream, unto the Sabbat Way shall I go forth"
Seal the vessel accordingly and place on your altar.
You will then take the actual innards, those which have no bones and
bury with the prayer to Hecate and Ahriman, in the soil from which you
have buried previous vessels.
III) On the day of which you shall take the flesh to the ant hill, place all of
the meat covering the bones on the hill. With it disturbed, ants shall pour
on it and begin devouring it. Meditate upon the eating of the corpse as a
dying aspect of your own mortal flesh, that you shall slough off the skin of
clay and soon be awakened to a new level of being. Observe those things in
your life which you directly control and affect, and note any special
details which will benefit from progressive change. This is a slow alchemical
process which will change your specific way of thinking in some manner.
When the bones are revealed, take them all from the ant hill. Do this quick,
to avoid any unnecessary danger to the hill itself, and avoid being bitten by
ants.
N) The night of which the bones are cleaned, take them to a stream in
solitude in the night Place them in the cold stream of Water, imagining
Hecate casting her eyes upon you. As you hold these bones in the water,
focus your Will upon them - charge them with a familiar chant which you
may hold as a focus of personal power. One such chant may be-
"By Nebiros, Crossbone signed spirit, bless these bones with thy scent
of death
by Satanachia, who comes from the depths of darkness, twin of
Satandar...
by Fleurety, who wanders the earth forever in solitude and shadow by
Lucifuge, night winged familiar who blesses my soul with the Toad-
spirit of Ahriman. Bless these bones with thy kiss of
darkness .... "
All your surroundings will seek to distract you in some way, pay no heed to
it at all. Your entire focus must be on charging those bones, as this is a test
of dire urgency. When you have taken the bone or bones which have
called to you (Instinctively you will know this) a call should be made at the
site of the stream-
209
'NI
"Satandar, Hecate, I have walked the path of Ahriman. The body of the
Toad has revealed an earth - controlling tool of arte, of which I shall
take with responsibility. Satandar, in thy shroud of Shaitan of
Midnight shall I go unto, and thus journey be the path of the Devil
not tread by mortal feet. I fear not the path an d await thy tests, from
which I am of strong intent and desire. So it shall be! Bless this Rite
Hecate and send thy Shades unto me, I am ready to walk thy path."
Return to your home and sleep. Keep a record of dreams and any
relevant messages. If you have two bones of the Toad, you may make an X
as the sign of the crossroads, the very symbol of the Sabbat and
Hecate, the place of which demons and such necromantical shades are
summoned. The bones should then be placed in a small bag which has
scribed on the fabric the Sigil of the Toad Rite - the averse triangle,
representing the Hermetic direction of Water - Darkness, and the Sun -
Symbol in the center, from the Sun three fork staves, representing the
Three Shades of Hecate which emerge from the Toads which come unto the
Dragon of the Sun, the Beast 666.
The toad skin that you have should be cut into a triangle and then this
sigil scribed on it. The skin should be kept with the Toad Bones in the
pouch. A Crystal may be kept also, one which you have picked out by
instinct and have consecrated before in your rituals. It should be kept
with the Toad Bones and focused upon with the power of the rite itself.
The crystal by conception should relate to being a storehouse of your
210
Michael W. Ford
energy, which is invigorated with the solar and lunar properties of the
Patrons of the Rite. After the ritual is complete, you may remove the
crystal from the pouch and carry it when you desire. One may at first
draw the Toad Sigil with the Forks leaving the Sun, yet at the end,
essentially, those shades lead you to the sun itself. It is a symbol of self
transformation and emerging
from the darkness.
V) On the First Night, go unto

a graveyard or place of
haunting or solitude. You may
seek out places which are
instinctively shown to you, rest
there and contemplate the very
place you are at. Keep the
bone on you at all times and
for no reason whatsoever shall
you give it up and place it to
the ground. You may rest in
the earth of a sunken grave to
inspire communication with a
Shade of Hecate, which will
appear demonic or seductive.
Some shades appear as gray
and green withered corpses,
which seek sexual congress.
You may copulate with the by
dream, but hold fast to your
Toad bone, save they will take it if able to, even in the throes of ecstasy.
The First night is the special focus of the powers of which you shall seek to
move through. The spirits Lucifuge, Satanachia, Nebiros, Fleurety are
patron spirits which awaken one to the Torch of Hecate, the Toad
Goddess who walks between the crossroads.
"I conjure thee Satandar and Satanachia, encircle me in thy eyes and
ghosts which walk the earth with you who are Amon and Barbatos,
devouring spirits who are a nightmare to the sleeping Hear me
Fleurety, and I summon forth your spirits Bathim, Abigar and
Pursan, who shall walk with me in the Ritual of the Toad. I summon
thee forth Nebiros, who is of death and the immortal shadow nourished
blood drinker beyond. I conjure thee Lucifuge, Night Spirit and Familiar
who guides my spirit by dream, I call unto your servitors Bael, Marbas and
Agares..come forth and bless this Rite of Passing."
211
"I summon thee forth, Satandar, who walks the earth as the Devil in
flesh. I call to thee Cain, wanderer and witch initiator of the bone
rite, I walk now by omen and chosen path the Rite of the Toad, the
flesh which comes of Ahriman, the Dragon which brings the Darkness by
the beating of wings. This night I begin the path, and with the bone-
charm of the toad shall I call and illuminate thy Eye, and the Eyes of
Hecate."
Take the bones in your hands, which have been formed into a charm
which beholds infernal yet lunar power, and call your mother and patron
dream encircler-
"Come 0 infernal, chthonic and heavenly goddess Hecate, Patron

Goddess of the Crossroads, of the Grave, she who goes forth to and fro at
night, torch in hand, she who walks against the sun. Lover and friend
of darkness, thou who doest rejoice when the Dogs are
howling and warm blood is spilled. Thou who walks amid the
phantom and in the place of tombs, thou whose thirst is blood, thou
who dost strike chill into mortal hearts, Gorgo, Mormo, Thousand
Faced Moon, cast thy eyes unto my working."
"Hekas, Hekas, Hekausath, Usha, umpesha, narasta

Spirit of the Moon, lover and death-embracer, grow in the land of the
dead. I give you strength and life, by the Wytch Fire of Azrael and
Nebiros, I summon forth the shades of the Grave to bless this ToadBone
as my amulet of power!"
You will soon feel a presence and many eyes watching you. Take this as a gift
and omen, and allow your mind to remain focused and intent. Remain
until complete according to your instincts.
On the Second Night, you shall return to this place, and you wi ll notice
your instincts are much sharper. You will feel a stronger presence of
spirits and manes of the dead. Go unto the same earth from which you
rested previously, and seek the second Shade of Hecate. Listen carefully to
it and allow the passing of power to occur accordingly. You will know the
details of this when it happens. Upon entering the Graveyard, make
widdershins around the cemetery, invoking the shadows in a wordless way
- Nebiros, Lucifuge, Satanachia and Fleurety. Call in silence the shades
of the cemetery to come forth to you.
On the Third Night, you shall return for the last time to this graveyard or
haunted place. You shall perform a calling to Hecate in a form you
desire, thank her for the gifts of initiation she has given you, an d leave her
an offering of Honey at the site of which you had communion with
212
Michael W. Ford
the Shades. Be honest with your approach to the Triple Mooned

Goddess, lest she laugh and devour your spirit, leaving you a soulless
husk or shell, with no concentration nor inspiration. Our mother and
lover Hecate is loving yet equally violent with those unworthy or fearful.
Your final test comes which will leave you shaking with energy. Take
heed of this moment, and carefully think out every action. The Devil
known as Satandar, or Shaitan of Midnight (See NOX UMBRA by the
present author) will come to you in some form, be in spirit or otherwise and
test you. You will be asked to hand over the bone, that he would charge it
with "his" blessing. You must resist at all costs, and give NOT the bone and
DO NOT place the bone in the area that the Devil suggests.
Remember, this spirit may not come in flesh but will come in shade form,
from which you will feel its presence.
The Devil will also in its test seek to make you feel as if it is an initiatory
point to lay the bones in a grave, and return another night when they
shall be charged. This, while logically would seem appropriate, is not. The
bone must remain on the Witch, at all costs. You may answer the Devil in
the polite and clever way - "The power may come from within, that the
shades of the dead and Hecate's arms shall enfold my very being
- I shall keep the bone with no change of mind". The spirit may also
create a paranoid environment and send the aura of danger around you. Be
resilient and focused, and do not allow your mind to loose control and you
Will.
The present author undertook this form of the Toad Rite on the date of-
MOON IN AQUARIUS April 23rd (Toad was found by Omen Toad Sigil sent
to Akhtya Seker Arimanius from Alogos), Ritual Began April 28th, 29th and
30th, Walpurgisnacht. The night of the ending ritual was undertaken in
the same cemetery, where the Devil appeared in the form of Logic to ask,
"Might you leave thy pouch and bones here, under a tomb, where I shall
grant it the power of the shades which walk the cemetery? You can feel
their presence, and you know this will pass.", and was also presented in a test
of image and confrontation by viewing a fatal
accident later that night/early morning.
I found logic to be a difficult problem, as it was logical to leave the bones on

the last night of the rite, to return on Walpurgisnacht day and retrieve them.
I refused politely and I finished the ritual ..................... I passed the test
against my common perception of logic - the greatest of all tests which
evoke thought and decisions. The Coven members and I then went 50
miles south, to a Beach to perform a Walpurgisnacht Rite, which ended in a
Widdershins walk about the circle to raise the sinistral essence of Hecate -
Lucifer and Leviathan.
213
PP'
We then drove 7 miles out back towards our city to discover an

automobile accident which had just happened. The victim was lying in the
center of the highway, after being tossed out of his destroyed truck -
his head missing! We took this as an Omen, from which our rite had
brought us to a new threshold - we shall pass in this Work!
An alternative of the Toad Rite presented here is the Aleister Crowley

version, in which the magician crucifies the Toad on a cross after
performing numerous prayers to the creature. Th e symbolism is the
Serpent (Magician) crucifying Christ (The Toad) to pass through the veils of
initiation. It is also a rite to obtain a familiar spirit which is associated with
the bones.
Michael W. Ford
The Grimoire above (encircle with serpent and toad skin), with
Kangling/ human thigh trumpet
Toad Sorcery
The bone charm of a toad is said to grant the power of controlling
animals, humans and a general extension of the one who performed it.
What must be understood in a modern context is, that by undertaking the
ritual and emerging from the ritual itself the mind is more attuned and
alert, able to carefully define momentary situations which may be handled
in a manner which leads to a positive reaction later. This is special
thought used in the mundane world. Remember, the Toadwitch becomes as
Lucifuge, as one of the Spirits and a Son/Daughter of Hecate. We
must be able to exist and present this Nocturnal Nobility of Self. Your
ability for Sorcerous Workings and Spells to manifest will be shown by this
manner as well. Record your results; be pleased enough with your success
to go further.
215
The Ritual of Lucifuge

The Night Familiar
As one has passed the Ritual of the Toadbone, and become as a

Toadwitch, their perception will change and instincts heighten. I may
state that the individual who passes will indeed look at life as being more
sacred and precious, and enjoying the here and now to the extent of
proper planning of personal goals. Lucifuge is the dreaded shadow which
takes the half bestial form as a pact making familiar. Lucifuge refers in this
context to a spirit which will prove very effective towards the sorcerer who has
successfully conducted the Toad Rite.
Purpose of Rite - To gain the insight of the fallen angel, Lucifuge, as a

shadow aspect - a Sabbatic familiar who has both the combined demonic and
angelic aspects which serves as a model of the sorcerers' self.
The Conjuration of Lucifer-
LUCIFER, OUL4, KAMERON, ALISCOT, MANDESUMINI, POEMI, ORIEL,

MAGREUSE, PARINOSCON, ESTIO, DUMOGON, DIVORCON, CASMIEL,
216
Michael W. Ford
HUGRAS, FABIEL, VONTON, ULI, SODIERNO, PETAN! Venite, Lucifer. So it

shall be.
The Circle should be drawn in a manner of which it is connected with the
sorcerer. It should hold all the attributes of his or her higher self. This
may be done in such a way as divine names that relate to the Holy
Guardian Angel/Angelic Familiar, etc. .
One may create a talisman or sigil with the image of Lucifuge on one side and
the circle of Goetic Evocation on the other. This circle was drawn by Levi
and represents infernal evocation. A proper description of the circle is found
in "THE BOOK OF BLACK MAGIC" by Arthur Edward Waite from "The
Goetic Circle of Black Evocations and Pacts", according to Eliphas Levi.
"The circle is formed from the skin of the victim, fastened to the
ground by four nails taken from the coffin of an executed criminal. The
skull is that of a parricide; the horns those of a goat; the male bat
opposite the skull must have been drowned in blood; and the black cat,
whose head forms the fourth object on the circumference of the circle,
must have been fed on human flesh."
The imagery used is exceptional, except the reality of this being created in
such a way in these times is highly illegal and unlikely (and not
suggested, endorsed or tolerated by the present author). Make a suitable
copy of the circle and bind it to the back of the chosen Lucifuge Sigil as a
conjuration aspect. The creative imagination is essential here, as with all
forms of magick and sorcery. Envision yourself creating the circle piece by
piece, and your mindset will increase accordingly to the working.
You may take the sigil into the graveyard of which you conducted the
Toad Rite, or another place of haunting. Prepare your own circle
accordingly, and surround your imagination with art of Goetic Evocation (see
the Levi circle or Michael W. Ford's GOETIC SORCERY - A Luciferian
Grimoire). If unable to work in the cemetery for whatever technicality,
you may adorn your ritual chamber accordingly. Have with you the bone
charm or crystal which was kept in the pouch. This is a focus part of the
familiar of the Toad Rite itself. A skull may be placed upon the altar of art,
of which is the sorcerous vessel of Lucifuge, which shall be connected with
the Sigil/Talisman you have prepared. The whole focus of the rite is not to
gain petty treasure, or to sell your soul. A Luciferian is a lover of self
and views no God above him, the idea of selling the soul is a Christian
concept in base, as they have no true love for the self and see the self as
impermanent compared to the conceptual vision of God. Lucifuge shall be a
Night Familiar, a guide and initiatory force to build and strengthen the mind.

If you have a thigh bone trumpet, you may move widdershins around the
circle, sounding the trumpet at each quarter. Envision the graves
opening and the shades coming forth to the sound. If you do not have a
trumpet made of human bone (this are obtainable from Tibetan import
dealers and Buddhist stores often), you may hold the call up in front of
your face and vibrate a low mantra summoning the spirits.
"NEBIROS, I summon thee from the abode in darkness, to come

peacefully unto me, as I seek thy assistance of calling the forces of Night.
Nebiros, shall the dead come forth. Necromancer, grant me thy hidden
knowledge peacefully.."
Take now your dagger of art, and place the Sigil of Lucifuge within or on the
skull. Focus on the shadow image of Lucifuge and evoke him-
"Emperor Lucifer, Lord of rebel spirits and guardian of the serpent-

path, I summon thy spirit Lucifuge Rofocale unto this circle, to this
meeting place of spirits, to shadow forth Lucifuge, who fly's unto the
shadow world of the in-between. I conjure thee into this vessel, into this
circle, move and appear in whatever form you wish...by the fallen angel
who brought unto us wisdom, from a sky forlorn in it's majesty.. come
Lucifuge, come now .................................................... I do summon and evoke
thee - by the deathless mask of Lucifer, being shadow and flame, water
and ear and by the Air of which you shall fly Come forth!"
"Emperor Lucifer, Master and Prince of Rebellious Spirits, I adjure thee

to leave thine abode, in whatsoever quarter of the world may be
situated, and come hither to communicate with me. I conjure thee in
the Name of the Satandar, Belial and Crimson Harlot who rides the
Dragon, to appear in this Vessel, to respond in a clear and
intelligible voice, point by point, to all that I shall ask thee, enter this
skull and dwell within as your home and tomb, be as Cain and walk
the earth 0 Lucifuge."
"By this sigil of Infernal Evocation, By this sigil of Lucifuge

Rofocale, by the Sign of the Crossroads I summon thee!"
"Lucifuge, you shall reside within this skull, to be of inspiration and

of my essence. You shall answer faithfully that of which I request,
and bring forth your spirits of which you command, being Bael, Agares,
and Marbas. By the sacred fire of the Torch, and by the Crossroads
and the places of the Dead - Lucifuge Arise, descend and take now

"So mote it be."
You may focus upon the image of Lucifuge entering the skull vessel, and
this essence is entered also into the talisman which you have prepared.
This shall be your guide in dreaming and waking, and nothing shall yet
stand in your way.
The rite may be closed by a thank you and a gift of some food or honey
within the graveyard.
If you ever wish to dismiss the spirit, conduct a rite, thanking him for his
service and banish him peacefully.

(Solitary version)
The Black Mass should be by design a ritual of opposition - of

adversarial rebellion against a structure or belief. In this, the Black Mass
presented here is that and more - it is by design a means of affirming the
strength and possibility of self, as well as the joys of life and the study of
death. Balance is the key to a Working's Success, and the Black Mass
presented here is a useful tool for one who has passed through the Toad
Ritual and emerged from the depths of the abyss.
"Our Father which wert in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom
come on earth. Thy will be done in earth as it is in hell. Give us
this night the blood of the Crimson Harlot, who devours as Yram-

darkness. And lead us into temptation. Deliver us to evil. Amen.

The Black Cross fetish was created upon the working of the second Toad Rite in 2004 by
the author. This fetish contains the Sigil of the Crossroads in the form of two Cat
Familiar bones, a toad skin crucified, cat teeth and the toad sigil at the base. The four
daemon familiars as Astaroth/Andar, Lucifer/Ahriman, Asmodeus/Aeshma and Azazel. The
cross was consecrated using menstrual blood and the blood of the author, binding with
spells and focused workings. Between Astaroth and Lucifer is the Serpent Skin,
representing the union of the red and black serpents.

Persian Sorcery
Yatukan/Ahrimanic
Witchcraft
Michael W. Ford
YATUK DINOIH
The Yatuk Dinoih is a Persian term meaning Witchcraft or Sorcery. This

grimoire is a modern interpretation of primal darkness and the body of
shadow which may be encircled and controlled by the sorcerer who seeks to
work within the mysteries of the Adversary. The sorcerous path of Black
Witchcraft proves a most challenging pathway, as it is against the motions
of the natural order. It is involves thought, balance, will and self-control
to properly and successfully move through it. The Left Hand
Path moves in this direction as it envenoms/empowers or
destroys/ devoures the practitioner. This may be understood, as written by
the ancient priests of Zoroastrianism, that he who practices the sorcery
of the Dev (demon or daeva) becomes like the demon (often called Druj,
meaning serpent and lie). Thus in initiating through the path of the Yatus
(sorcerer or witch) or Pairikas (female witch, companion of Yatus or she-
devil and fairy) the path becomes one with the practitioner, thus their
own way which stands different and apart from all others.
227
II _
Approach the Yatuk Dinoih as you would an ancient tome of magick. It

provides a grammer and method which invokes the primal darkness
inherent in the deepest recesses of the earth and the self. Know that
each Druj or Daeva/Dev which you summon should be don e so with
Willed purpose and intent, save the dabbler be cursed accordingly by his or
her own hand. The Left Hand Path does not suffer fools glady, it will tease
and devour those who may not have the mind to become through it. Once
you have entered, there is no turning back.
Ahriman
Ahriman or Angra Mainyu is the
ancient Persian spirit or demon of
darkness. A God associated with the
Yatuk Dinoih66, the ancient Persian
system of hidden witchcraft and
sorcery. Ahriman was the shadow
which existed between the veils of
light and shadow. The Prince of
Darkness is indeed the embodiment of
the Left Hand Path67, in that
Ahriman is modeled as an Isolate
Being independent from the natural
order. He exists beyond that veil of
light and is immortalized in darkness.
Angra Mainyu or Ahriman is the Lord of
the Druj68, which are demons or
isolate intelligences (shades) which are
as well sorcerers. In traditional
Zoroastrian mythology and religious
texts, the Druj is horrifying and
demonic. In the context of this writing
such spirits are models of Antinomian
thought and self-deification, and
should be viewed in such a manner.
One should not look at the Workings of
the Yatuk Dinoih as a physical
Yatuk Dinoih translates Witchcraft, and is represented as the religion of Sorcerers, Witches and Wizards.
The Bundahishn "Creation" or Knowledge from the Zand - Sacred Books of the East, Oxford, 1897
67 See Lords of the Left Hand Path, by Stephen E. Flowers
Druj translates Lie and is symbolized by the Pahlavi books as falsehood. Lie is also associated with the
word against the sun, thus symbolizing the shadow or vampyric essence.

grimoire, rather than a spiritual one, with the aim of self -transformation.
Violence is strictly condemned. While the sorcerer is hidden within the
fabric of its own inherent culture, many rites and workings are of the
secret and cunning path. One particular essence is that of Ahriman. This
Godform symbolizes the attainment and control of matter and Sabbatic
Dream Control. The initiatory process in relation to manipulating the
astral body to shape according to the desire of the sorcerer, calling forth the
powers of darkness and absorbing other spirits.
Ahriman or Angra Mainyu is essentially a shapeshifting sorcerous

principle of magick, who is balanced as both spiritual and physical. In
some Zoroastrian tales, Ahriman first manifested in the world as the
Snake who by the element Air, brought darkness into light. Angra
Mainyu was also said to have fought his brother Ahura Mazda in the
form of a Dragon. The spirit of Darkness from a Luciferian perspective
manifests the mind and seeking the very mastery of both Mind and Body, a
balance of both. The very self can be seen as a Temple to Suetkh, or
Ahriman, thus should be highly respected, kept in health and used to be a
vessel of your manifestation and desire upon earth. Other forms of
Ahriman relate his mastery of elements, the Fly (air) which relates him to
Beelzebub, snake (fire and water), the Toad (earth) and wolves which are
sacred to Angra Mainyu and used in ancient sacrifices to feed Ahriman by
offer wolf blood to holes and chasms in the earth. Angra Mainyu is also
considered a creator of Desert Lands, cold winds, darkness, winter,
all wild beasts and reptiles, thus displaying his close
connection/manifestation as Set.
The Left Hand Path in reference to Ahriman is partially on his creation. In

some text, Ahriman was not created by Ahura but he possessed an isolate
and independent existence, or psyche. Another version of the myth69,
Ahriman first heard his fathers' word, and rip from the womb to greet his
father, Zurvan, who replied he was dark and stinking. Ahriman was granted
rule for 9,000 years, from which indicated by Will against his father
granted the spark which created rebellion. Ahriman still was an isolate and
independent existence.
The darkness must be observed and experienced, as the avenue of which

there is nothing. The void (elder darkness, primal unconsciousness) is the
arcana of the living flesh, the keyhole into the subconscious. It is
through the elements of union that we may grow in our temple of being to
enflesh our desires. While Ruha-AZ (called also JEH), being the
feminine force of Ahriman represents Babalon, the great dreaming body of
the sacred whore, or Lilith, Lilitu are the command of the lunar cycle,
69 The Zurvanite Myth, The Dawn and Twilight of the Zoroastrianism, R.C. Zaehner, New York, 1961.

allow the blood congealed to form under the desire of the witch, the
Sacred Creation of the Hidden Servitor or Familiar.
The form of Ahriman is Draconis, the Black Dragon from which all
emerge into their own solitary being, from a Left Hand Path perspective, and
fall to subconsciously. Druj is translated LIE as well as connected with
Dragon. Those who walk the path of shadows, which is of ecstasy, shall
know the fruits of the awakened, perceived sense of self, the "I" of the
arcana. The goal of Left Hand Path Sorcery is NOT to become a Shell, but to
sharpen, strengthen and develop the individual, isolate
consciousness - to be as shadow, as Ahriman itself.
Ahriman or Angra Mainyu created Six archdemons to pervert/awaken

mankind. They are Akoman (Aka Manah), Savar (Sauru), Andar (Indra),
Nakahed (Naonhaithya), Tairev (Taurvi) and Zairich. These daevas or divs are
essential deific masks within the circle of the Yatuk Dinoih, t hese primal
energies represent facets of individual initiation.

Darkness, which may be as a word of Ahriman in Avestan, or a
illustration which depicts the spirit of darkness.
The Preliminary Invocation and announcement of

Self-Immolation, the Sacred Luciferian Vision of
the Infernum.
The circle if the sorcerer uses one, indicates that it should be made with the
system related to the Yatuk Dinoih, the grand awakening of a sleeping
religion and initiatory system of Persian Sorcery. Let your circle be cast, to
represent the Dragon itself - the very circumference of your being. Thus a
circle is not a protection, rather a gathering place of shadow. This is the
focus point of your sorcery (to en-circle).
Take the Athame, sacred blade of Druj7° and the blade cast in the Forge of
the Black Man of the Sabbat, invoking upon the points of the
Ahrimanic Sigil of Entering:
"Ahriman, who brings Hesham, who is of Samahe, I stand within the

circle of the worm to invoke the mysteries of the ancient source of
creation and destruction. From which that you have spoken to
me in the sacred dreaming temple, in the Garden of the Arcana of
Azothoz, the primal initiator of opposites. I invoke thee! Ahriman, that
which opposes the natural order, to become as Alpha Omega
Druj is also symbolic of Dragon and snake. The snake is said to speak lies, but those who may listen,
wisdom.
230
Michael W. Ford
itself, as God itself, to create and destroy. Ahriman, who

communes with the ancient dead, sleeping and lusting for the
living flesh, I invoke thee! Ahriman, from the ruins of the desert, I
call you from your place in the darkness. You who marks form from
shadows, daemons of the caves of the earth, I invoke thee! To
your consort, AZ, primal goddess of blood and darkness, who
manifests as Lilith and Babalon, come forth, lift your crimson veil and
let me taste of your infernal treasures. In the core of your very being
shall I shake the foundations of the sacred pillar of Life, absorb its
secrets and emerge through the Perfect and illuminated Temple of
Darkness! I invoke thee! I shall come forth as an avatar
upon earth! Come forth within me!"
"0 maker of the material world, 0 sacred Druj, I summon thee!"
"Alas, the gates of twilight open before me. The dagger drips the blood of
the wretched and weak. Would the sacrifice of the howling wolves seek my
very soul? Yet, I may brave them, not stopping to
witness their fangs inches away from the very soul. Algol itself shall
tear through me, yet it is a mirror of my own perfection, being and
possibility. I go forth through the Arcana of Dreaming
and waking, let Ahriman be my guide of shadows!"
Focus upon your consciousness and what Ahriman represents. In

solitude you shall summon and in isolation will the Blackened Flame
ignite. Understand that your Words make flesh your desires, so choose
your creations carefully. Listen to the voices of the shadows, but more
importantly that of your own Mind (Aka Manah).
231
Lucrferian Witchcraft - The Book of the Serpent
Take the time to meditate on the shape shifting qualities of Ahriman. He is

known to have taken the form of a Toad, or a Snake, of a Dragon.
Animals which were said to be created and are sacred to Ahriman are

Wolves, Ants, Serpents, Toads, etc. You may wish to meditate upon
changing into each form, allowing by dream to go forth and see as they
would see - RECORD YOUR RESULTS!
Invocation to AZ
The Great Demon Whore — Mother of Witchcraft
AZ first appeared as a weapon given to Ahriman. It was said Ahriman
gave an attack on the spiritual world71, and he was thrown back into the
Abyss for a time. Many demons sought to raise Ahriman from his great
sleep and nothing would work. The Great Whore came forth to awaken
Ahriman, and woke him with stating that she would "Take away the
dignity of Blessed Man". Ahriman stood and glowed with unnatural life and
came from the Abyss again. This "Demon Whore"72 as referred to is none
other than AZ, the "weapon of concupiscence." AZ73 is the Witch Queen
and Bride of Ahriman, a Mother of Demons. The flesh she takes later is
that of Lilith, the Hebrew Demon Queen who was the embodiment
of sorcery, succubi and sexual congress. AZ represents that which is most
feared among all religions, Women as a Strong and cunning force. It
is also written that the Devil's (Ahriman) Kiss causes menstruation, and
such is a highly abhorred occurrence among the Zoroastrians.
Az is also closely connected in Buddhism, and is an enemy of the

Buddhist mind. The principle of the cause of conditioned existence is a
word, Avidya, meaning 'ignorance' and such a principle manifestation is
trshna, being 'Thirst'. AZ devours and drinks deep the lifeblood in a
desire for continued existence in time. She is isolate and individual
consciousness, a dual Bearer of the Black Flame. She is matched only by
Ahriman, the Prince of Darkness.
The People of the Lie, those who are initiated by spiritual deed in the
Yatuk Dinoih are Left Hand Path practitioners, that is, we seek to isolate,
strengthen and promote continued existence beyond the traps of flesh, but
through flesh as well. We, just as Ahriman, love life, and seek to make it
stronger by means of self-deification through antinomian thought.
When approaching AZ as the Queen of the Circle, know that she
71 The Teachings of the Magi, R.C. Zaehner, London 1956

72
Selections of Zatsparam and The Dawn and Twilight of the Zoroastrianism, R.C. Zachner, NY 1961
13 AZ is concupiscence, lust and greed — she is also called Varan, which is sexual desire and
interestingly
enough Religious Doubt. This is symbolic of the rebellious and Luciferian Mind, that which perceives itself
and doubts higher authority. Az is this force which take in anthropomorphic form, LILITH, and the Witch
Woman who frees herself from bonds. Az is also a balancing force within Man, and Ahriman and Az
awakened is a comparable magickal formula to Aleister Crowley's Beast and Babalon Conjoined.
233
too resides with the Dead, yet she does not devour them always. AZ may also
be considered the same as the Hindu KALI (interestingly enough, one of
the 17 names of LILITH) and Hecate, the Grecian Goddess of the Dead.
TEMPLE:
To be adorned in images of death, crimson and the feminine aspects of
dark witchcraft, such as Babalon riding the Dragon, Kali, Lilith, Hel and all
of the dark goddesses of Wicca, Sabbatic Witchcraft and other
mythologies throughout history. The altar itself should be adorned in
crimson and shades of blood red, with the sigil of Babalon hanging in the
front of the altar. Keep in mind this force is the universal Daemonic
Goddess, she takes many forms all of which are difficult for t he
uninitiated to understand. Keep this ritual to yourself if you or anyone in
234
Michael W. Ford
your coven performs it. This rite is designed to issue forth the Dragon
goddess to manifest in either the Witch or the Warlock, regardless of
sexual preference, gender orientation and identification. Each individual
within the path of the Yatuk Dinoih should be prepared to explore both the
feminine aspects of their being as well as the masculine. Unity is through
moving through opposites.
"The Abyss which gave me being has no bounds over my existence. I, who am
known as the Blood Goddess AZ stand before the Eye of Ahriman,
awakened and alive. I hold the cup of fornication, th e elixir of life, to
announce and rejoice in my divinity. I am the Great Whore, presiding over the
Sabbat of witches, to let all taste of my joys. I stand before all other white
goddesses, those who in their happy fields have grown from my darkness,
my shadow to proclaim them as unfertile, barren and rotting from their
fear and lack of balance. I kiss them gently as a mother then with a
movement of my mind, rape and spill their blood into my cup of desire. I
am the goddess of death and life. I join in rapture with the Infernal
Dragon, Ahriman, whom brings my joy in rapture and union.
Upon the back of the Beast I ride, and brought forth the Antichrist who
shall grow unseen before and through many. The age of ignorance and
servitude is over. The While fornicating, call my names that are many, AZ,
BABALON, LILITH. Spill your seed in my name, in my glory and in my
desire. I am the model for which all women shall seek to channel. My
gateway is through ecstasy, through the mirror, between the breasts of the
scarlet woman.
I stand before the impotent mother called Mary and laugh at her sterile
incompetence. This failure of a mother and feeble spirit that cowers behind
her son is to be no more! For every woman who cannels and invokes me,
whom shall take the name of Witch and Scarlet Woman shall one by erase her
manifestation in this world. I shall bring the doctrines of Witchcraft
through a new method, which shall be of twilight workings many can
embrace. I shall not reveal all of which I am to them, as they cannot grasp my
terror and beauty. This need not concern them, as my Will shall
manifest through each Goddess who dares invoke me! I spit in the mouth of
impotence and within me shall you find the Union of Opposition.
I am within all and may be summoned by the vessel of the skull ............ the
blood is the life!
I am Vampyre, I am shadow, I am the Devouring Demon which drains the life

of the weak, I give the Blackened Flame of Life to those who may face me...
Azi...Azaka...Ruha ...... Nasu...AZ..AZ ...... AZ!

The Druj
The Ritual of Yatukan Sorcery
The religion of the Dregvants (The Followers or People of the Lie) are
those who are initiates of Sorcery, or the religion of Ahriman. Such
initiation is led by instinctual opposition. It should be kept in mind that
within the parameters of psychological evocation, that identification is
based upon the success factor of the sorcerer. Witchcraft and Sorcery
themselves are based in achievement through identification,
counterbalancing restrictive aspects associated with ones own
psychological make up and such. As the gateway of the Magickal Art, we
must pass beyond the first definitions, as they are merely gateways, tests
from which we may pass through. The ancestral shades that emerge
through the living and breathing witch are in theory the parallels to our
further advancement or becoming. Each whisper, chant or calling is the
236
Michael W. Ford
elemental control of our surroundings, our own individual universe and

vibrations, which create effects accordingly. The Dragon that coils
around our brains is the counter point of awakening, from which one
aligned; our results of sorcery and magickal workings may double in
positive response.
Ahriman, in the ancient Persian religion of Zoroastrianism is the

personification of what is called 'The Devil', which is specifically defined as
the Daevas which all emerge in darkness. Darkness, keep in mind, is the
personification of the void from which we all emerge, it is Chaos and its
symbol is the Chaos Sphere. The workings of this modern grimoire of
Yatukan Sorcery are centered around the Sigil of ALGOL, the Chaos Star. It
is this mirror which we may project our Will and the Daevas which shall
be evoked emerge ultimately through this mirror.
While the ALGOL sphere is not Zoroastrian, it holds a center in the focus of
darkness. The use of Art to express the 'Matter' or materialization of the
Daevas is also beneficial to the Artist. It was said that Ahriman brought
Smoke to Fire, to if outdoors, perform invocations with fire and smoke.
Visualize Ahriman and such spirits in the smoke coming from the flames.
The Seven Archdemons of Yatukan Sorcery are the centers of antinomian

advancement, from which the sorcerer may advance by their own centers of
evocation and invocation. Approach these forces carefully, but boldly. The
ultimate test of awakening is to invoke the Daevas from without the
protection circle, in the evocation circle itself. Absorb them - let them
become you. This is the way to know of your true possibility of becoming.
The Seven Archdemons are as follows:
AKA MANAH (Akoman, the Evil Mind

INDRA (Andar, Dev of the Black Flame)
SAURU (Savar, the Lord of Daevas or Devs, corresponds with the
Medieval and Gnostic Belial, the Lord of the Earth)
TAURVI (Tairev, a dev of rebellion)
ZAIRITSHA (Zairich is a dev of poison, used as a spirit of herbalism or of
cursing)
NAONHAITHYA (Naikiyas, a dev of antinomian thought, rebellion,
discontent, desire)
AESHMA (Asmodeus the demon of the wounding spear)
It should be noted as well that Asmodeus is of essentially Persian origin,

known as Aeshma (Demon of the Wounding Spear). The name Ashmedai
emerged from Hebrew and Latin and Asmodeus once was an Angel of the
Seraphim, from which he fell with Lucifer or Ahriman. Jewish lore
237
presents Asmodeus as a child of Tubal Cain and Naamah, the demon

queen and former bride of Satan. The gnosis achieved through invocation
with Aeshma will reveal by inspiration the foundations of the Holy law and
why it was trespassed by Ahriman and the Seven Daevas. A hint to be
given to the reader is that by moving against the current of laws within
a belief structure lead to the strengthening of the individual, the birth of a
God or Goddess. This force is essential in the advancement of the universe,
often misunderstood in modern belief structures commonly understood as
'morals' in the era of social comprehension. Evoke and Invoke the
mysteries from which the sorcerer may awaken their own semblance of
possibility. Our forms shall be many, from which shall reflect in the mirror
of Algol.
The sigil of Yatukan Sorcery in a modern context is:
ALGOL - A word which derives from the Arabic Al Ra's al Ghul, Al-Ghul, or
Ri'B al Ohill, which is translated "The Demon's Head". Algol was in
Hebrew known as Rosh ha Shaitan, or "Satan's Head", as some
traditions have referred to Algol as the Head of Lilith. The Chinese called
Algol Tseih She, which is "Piled up corpses" and was considered a
violent, dangerous star due to its changing vivid colors. On some 17th
century maps Algol was labeled, "The Specter's Head". Algol upon some
research has indicated that possibility Three stars which are an eclipsing
binary, which may explain some of the rapid color change. Some writers
have connected Algol with the Egyptian Khu, or spirit. The Khu is
considered a shadow spirit which feeds on other shades of the dead. In
reference to the writings and initiatory symbolism of Michael W. Ford,
ALGOL is the sigillized in one form as a Chaos Star with an Averse
238
Michael W. Ford
Pentagram in the center. The Pentagram refers to the Eye of Set, timeless and
divine, godlike and independent. The Chaos Star is destruction, Change
and power - all of which emerges from the Eye of Shaitan, or Set. It is this
Chaos which then brings Order. ALGOL is the mirror of the sorcerer, one
who may enter and reside in the pulsing eye of blackened flame. There are
Eight God Forms which are manifested from the Center of the Chaos Star -
within are Five Daemon Guardians of the Five Worlds within Hell, Helan
and all are interconnected with the Center Force of Spirit of the Prince of
Darkness.
There are Eight Rays from this Star -

They represent the following God forms-
1. Astwihad (death flyer)

2. Andar (Black Flame, Antinomian initiation)
3. Lilith - AZ (The Harlot and Whore)
4. Akoman (The Evil Mind, Isolate and Antinomian intelligence)
5. Druj Nasu (Fly goddess, demoness who devours, pollutes
corpses)
6. Aeshma (Demon of Wrath, the Wounding Spear)
7. Saurva - Savar (A leader of Devs perhaps a form of Belial)
8. Taromaiti (a demoness which twarts devotion, antinomian
thought)
The Averse Pentagram represents two aspects-

One Being Isolate Consciousness, the Prince of Darkness. There are Five
Worlds of Darkness from Manichaean Mythology-
Each represents a point (connecting) of the World and Daemons
connected therein.
With each World there are both masculine and feminine druj who
continually procreate. The Five Worlds have a Lord Druj who is the
Guardian and Master of that Sphere.
1. Smoke - LION (Belial)

2. Storm - EAGLE - (Azi Dahaka)
3. Fire - DEMON (Shaitan or Iblis)
4. Mud - FISH (Leviathan)
5. Darkness - DRAGON (Tiamat and Azhdeha)
The center is the Prince of Darkness, called Ahriman or Set. Ahriman has
taken within attributes from each Demon and their Spheres of influence. An
invocation which may be used with the Algol Sigil is below, this is meant
as an encircling charge to the spirit of the Adversary and the body of
shadow. You may use the ritual to encircle the primal body of
darkness, to build that which you seek to form according to your desire.
239
A Prayer of Ahriman
0' Dragon who rushes from the North,

O Serpent Druj of Darkness, Smoke, Cold and Noxious
Heat, I summon thee
In Kalch (Filth) I call thee, by the Averse Ways of
Midnight and Midday
Of Tauromat, who is the Druj of Rebellion
Below me, Nasai (Dead Matter) which strengthens my
spirit - Kundak who shall carry me to the Sabbat and
upon the Earth in Dreaming Flesh, Akoman Guide me!
O Wolf Druj Ahriman I Invoke
thee . Maghaaman. Izzadraana!
Michael W. Ford
241
As mentioned previously, the Sigil or Eye of Algol is that of the Fallen

Seraphim, the angels which dove the abyss to taste the knowledge and
become as the dragon's spirit, the serpent of the garden. Use the Mirror of
the Adepts to isolate consciousness, and to place the Daevas of your
summoning through, which may emerge for your desired working when the
gnosis of the Temple is achieved.
When working with the Chaos Sphere, realize that in a historical sense the
original chaos sigil was a symbol of God and Spirit. This proves
essential in the understanding of moving past ideas which present a
moralistic challenge to the sorcerer. Moving past each symbol is essential in
advancing ones own natural abilities to magickal awakening. In
Mesopotamia the Chaos Star first appeared in the Temples, dating
around 3000 B.C. making it one of the earliest magical symbols. One may
use the Algol sigil to call forth the Daemons of the abyss and use the
magickal mirror to send them back. The Chaos Sphere is essential in
magickal work pertaining to evocation and projecting desires. One may use
the Chaos Sphere as also a tool to absorb anothers attack, causing to spell
to return to the maker. This would enable the fetish they use to attack you
as a means of their own torment, and will thus be used against them.
The only remedy for such is for the creator to destroy the fetish used to
curse you, or if returned unknown, will slowly feed from the aggressor's
astral body until sickness occurs. It is always suggested for the sorcerer to
send back this curse unknowingly to the aggressor, as it will lead to a
healthy destruction of the individual. If the curse is returned to the
individual, you will have used the force of your will and the magickal
mirror of the Algol Sphere to do such, thus you may evoke certain Yatukan
daemons to move through the mirror and feast from the aggressor. The
experienced Sorcerer will be able to use divination methods regarding
the Algol Sphere to discover happens around him or her. Such hidden
methods make a powerful background to one who practices Witchcraft,
especially within the Wiccan areas. While the Witch is experienced in the
rituals of Wicca or Witchcraft, the hidden dark elements make the
sorcerer much more powerful than initially detected. Many experienced
witches will be able to sense what is below the surface, however the witch in
question may be able to conceal such effects as well. The Witches Pyramid
as discussed in BOOK OF THE WITCH MOON by Michael W. Ford.
The Evocation Circle:

The Sabbat - gathering place of spirits, a symbolic and visual
"Crossroads". You may use this circle, the Goetic Sorcery Luciferian
Circle or the Ahrimanic Dragon Circle (Paitisha).
242
Michael W. Ford
Many Daevas, spirits and Daemonic forces may be evoked and placed
within the following circle. Focus the spirit into this circle when evoking, for
once the spirit is bound, you will enter the circle to invoke and absorb the
Daemon or simple seek communion with it. While there are indeed
different variations, such as the Circle of the Ahrimanic Beast, for
barbarous evocations and the Toad Ritual Triangle, being the calling of the
Diabolic or inverse patron spirits associated with the Sun or Black Sun,
with relation to Shaitan or Satan. The Goetic Circle and Triangle may be
most suggested for evocations of a nature of controlling, ensorcelling
the specific defined energies of the spirit. Yatukan Sorcery deals with long
forgotten forces, dark embodiments of primal chaos and those who have
been long forgotten since the times of ancient Persia. You may use not a
circle, but only once you have established a full initiation into the
Adversarial Current and have communion with your Demon Guide, I take
no responsibility for misuse of that statement. One may use the "Ahrimanic
Beast Circle" for workings of invocation or summonings.
Keep in mind that Daemons and Angelic forces should be primarily

understood as a part of the mind itself, and that by asserting control of the
brain and the functions you Will it to accept, then can you be ready to
explore the possibility of another type of reality of such forces. This may
prove difficult at first, aligning belief according to the waking reality of non-
existent spirits, however once the mind is TRAINED in the area of being THE
ONLY GOD THAT IS, can one then deal with the objective reality of outer
forces. The Daemons evoked within the circle may be too much to handle
from one who has not sought the initiation of becoming, the path of self-
deification.
243
The Ritual of Evocation

Warning - Do not attempt this ritual if you or any participant has any
history of mental problems, as this will surely lead to a less than
pleasant result. The forces evoked are indeed real and should be
approached seriously. The author and publisher accept no responsibility for
the use of this book. Use caution and you have been warned.
The sigil of the Daemons will be the Ancient Persian Cruciform from
which their names were written backwards, symbolizing the reaching
back of memory. After the evocation, when you wish to manifest an
element of which this Daemon represents, carry the name in Cruciform on
your person and envision at the moment when it is to be projected. It may
be kept as a charm or such. You may also later use the sigil in Ritual
Evocations and Projections with the Mirror of Algol, the Eye of Ahriman
and AZ.
Concerning Sacrifice
When summoning/ binding the Daevas and Druj of the Yatuk Dinoih, it is
essential to offer a sacrifice of Hair, Nails or spittle to them. In
Zoroastrian lore, it is a sacrifice to throw hair, nails or any such body
fluid in a hole or crack where sun does not reach. When working,
especially outside if you are able to create a hole or use a crack near
some rocks or otherwise. Anything which is taken from man or woman,
hair, etc and cast down is considered unclean and something demons
attach to.
In the VENDIDAD, reference is made to the act of feeding Druj,

knowingly or unknowingly, and thus warns against it.
"Zarathushtra asked Ahura Mazda: '0 Ahura Mazda, most beneficent

Spirit, Maker of the material world, thou Holy One! Which is the most
deadly deed whereby a man offers up a sacrifice to the Daevas?
Ahura Mazda answered: 'It is when a man here below, combing his hair or
shaving it off, or paring off his nails, drops them in a hole or in a crack
'Then by this transgression of the rites, Daevas are produced in the earth"
-VENDIDAD, Fargard 17,
"0 Mazainya Daevas! These nails I announce and consecrate unto

thee, spirits of darkness. May they be for thee so manyknives and
spears, so many bows and falcon-winged arrows and so many
weapons against the Sheep of the Rightious!"
The sorcerer would take a small bit of hair, or nail or something from his or
herself and drop in a hole or crack while uttering the chant of
244
Michael W. Ford
sacrifice, this is an affirmation of aligning the self with the Yatuvidah

current and the supposed creation of demons in the earth. The religious
work of a Yatus, or Luciferian, is to take previously cleaned human bones
and wash them in water to which you shall drink
ritualistically, feeds the Druj and envenoms the sorcerer as being at one
with the faith he or she develops.
Calling of the Shadow -
Under the stars which emerge of AZ, from the tombs of the mighty dead, I do
call and summon thee, from which I am the shadow of form, black and
hungered for the nourishment of the living shade. Andar under thy cloak of
hidden darkness, to me! Awaken to my rite:
The Sacrifice
Offer now some of your own hair, nails, spittle or sexual sacrifice in the
designated hole or crack while chanting:
By Paitisha and Hesham I offer this to thee, for I am Dregvantem, and
Daevayasnanam whose word is Druj. Take my sacrifice of my life force and
give back your blessings and assistance, for we are one and the same. I
feed the shadows to expand the darkness.
The Summoning of Ahriman

I summon thee, Arimanius, Armiluss,
Come thou forth from thy dire mansion
Ensorcel me in shades and by dream - BECOME!
By flame and lightening, the Darkness of the Abyss I
seek to ride the Dragon Azi Dahaka,
Join in flesh the Scarlet Whore, Ruha-Az,
That by wolf and serpent shall ride her flesh
Manifest through thy summoner, enfleshed Akhtya
And thy Summoned manifest as You
By the Circle Dance against the Sun DRUJ arise!
Praise unto Ahriman, whose form may be the Toad - the Gateway to the
Devil's Mysteries
Praise unto Ahriman, who drinks the blood of wolves and from shadow
creates their perception - the shades may enter the mind of darkness to
drink deep of the blood of the moon.
Ahriman, by the Dragon encircle me!
Ahriman by the Wolf enflesh in me!
Ahriman by Khrafstras guide me!
245
Arimanius, Andar, so it is done!
A Sacred Hymn to Darkness:
And to that one of beings (of daevayasnanam) whose superior in the

becoming of Akoman, of Ahriman, who knows and who gives Daevodata,
whose Yatus and Parikas do we become as, who shall we worship
ourselves through!
Pihsrow ew od sgnieb elamef dna elam esohw elamef lla fo esoht dna

esohw sgnieb foe no that dna!
(Let a small drop of spittle hit the candle or touch the flame with spit
on your finger or hand)
Evocation of the Daeva-
I shall take baptism in Nasa, the rite of shadowed Nahn, in the desire of the
serpent.
0 blessed shadow, serpent and wolf, Arimanius, Ahriman, who fell from the
light of sterility to taste the pleasure of shadows, and to know the
darkness. I evoke thee, Daeva NAME by the keys of Paitisha, and of
Hesham, the paths of darkness, the unspoken letters of AZOTHOZ.
Howling unto the desert sands, shall the Daeum emerge as the Moon
sleeps. From this eclipse will the passion of shadows draw neigh. Hail and
come forth, spirits of darkness and hungered shadows hearken and
manifest spirits of the abyss.
Bringer of the key of immortality, do come forth unto this place, by the
ancient laws of the calling, I evoke thee! By Smoke and Fire, by the Flies and
Jackals, by the dragon and bleeding whore, blessed spirit of the Linage
of Kabed-us-Spae - Akht-Jadu!
Specter and shadow, demon and angel, I seek the knowledge of the
arcana of Ahriman - hear me now! Draconian shadow, Druj, allow me the
forbidden light.
From the Essence of Kabeb-us-Spae, forgotten through the mountains of

which you lurk, take shadow form, friendly and non malicious unto me,
within this circle. I conjure thee 0 druj and dev of the forests and lonely

places. I summon you to encircle me in this place, for I am Dreg vantem, an

initiate of the shadow path.
No sagdid may drive us away, we are Druj and Daeum, those whose
sorcerous power reign upon earth.
I conjure thee, Daeum of caves and mountains, that which devours by

night. I summon thee, Druj, born of Desert Wastes, child of Ahriman,
bringer of darkness. Who fell to the earth with thy companions to create and
bless the beasts of the field, the Azhish, do encircle me!
I stand within the circle of Witchblood, to evoke the hungering shades, to

which I seek the shadows to feed from as well, to nourish myself in with the
manes of Azothoz, the Voice and Spell of which Ahriman uttered to become
as God itself.
Great manifestation of the Abyss, from which all emerges, I do summon thee
forth. By the names INDRA, SAURU, TAURVI, AESHMA, ZAIRITSHA,
NAONHAITHYA and AKA MANAH come forth! By Iklitu shall you come forth,
By Iklitu shall you emerge from by my Will, Arise 0 Azhish, come Druj, come
Daeva for I am of dragvantem, the path against all others!
The Charge -
Point Evocation Dagger
Daeva (name),
As I touch thee with this Dagger, forged of the Fire of the Dahakem, do
manifest.I name and call you by Zakaru! By Ahriman's Kiss do I conjure thee
and bring thee into this space, bring the shadows to encircle me in the ecstasy
of the serpent.
I do charge thee to hear my voice, which is that which gives you life, it is my
Will for you to manifest now! I am Daevayasnanam, who becomes in the
circle of Druj! I encircle you, Alalu, remain, Alalu, manifest, Alalu, by my Will.
The Constraint -
Daeva, Appear before me in this circle, from which I have given thee form and
substance. I do command thee to appear in the form which I desire, do come
forth as my friend, great shade of ancestral vision. By the oath of the shadow
born, Arimanius! Ahazu, Ahazu, Ahazu!! By samahe, that which we create
from, that which drives us, that of which the Dragon coils, that which the
Worm awakens from, remain here!

Ask now which you seek with the Daemon, and upon obtaining this
information, thank it and banish/close circle. The optional ending is far
more dangerous, yet offers greater rewards. Proceed with caution.
Vampiric Rite of Evocation/Invocation Version

AKALU - TIAMAT RITE
When spirit appears one should then Face the daemon and recite the
following-
"Daeva, great force from which we are one, I shall now join in union with
you, we shall be as one. I am the arcana of the alphabet of desire, the
words and visions of the Gods. Through me, within me and under my Will, you
shall know the pleasures I shall taste. I enter now this circle and we shall
join as one!
By Tishin, who thrists for the vein of the sleeping do I acknowledge myself as
Azhish and Dregvantem, of Az and Daeum do I enflesh my spirit"
Disrobe and enter the evocation circle.
As you enter the circle you will feel a force overtake you, it will be of
prime and beautiful demonic ecstasy, and in bringing the force in you will
obtain visions you would and would not like to share. The ecstasy itself is
only describable in how Zos vel Thanatos sought to manifest forms in the
Book of Ugly Ecstasy. Allow the ecstasy to overtake you and at the very
moment of what would be the 'peak' if you will, ABSORB AND DEVOUR this
force. Use the strength of your Will to overtake any aspect of its
consciousness, the shadow then will join with you. As a Vampiric rite of
Evocation, you will master the spheres of the living and dead. Once one
uses this ritual to pass through each Daemon of the Yatuk Dinoih, shall
the pleasures of the night be revealed! Here is the initiation into the rite of
predatory spiritualism, to absorb that which is evoked!
Once the invocation is over, you will feel whole and drained at the same
time.
Approach the altar and take the Kapala (Skull cup) or Chalice-
I drink now of the ecstasies of death and sex, my union with the arcana of the
infernal shall be of bright illumination! Hail the manifestation of the
darkness and flesh, Arimanius! Hail unto the force of Light and Wisdom,
Ahriman! So it is done!
Banish and close circle.
248
Michael W. Ford
Cursing
Cursing is essential at one time or another, but you should take caution as
to when you deem it appropriate. Ensure that you are not overreacting and
carefully plan it out. As one grows in their sorcerous knowledge, you will be
able to utilize the traits of Mitrokht, Eshm, Arashk and Sej, the Evil Eye
which is the stare which causes discomfort and cursing. As you stare within
the circle of Daevodata, gathering shadows and forming them from your
own body of Light, invoke their essence and power, stare within their sigils
and image, invite it within to absorb traits accordingly. Do not allow
emotions to overtake you, rather consume them. It must be known that
when you enter and grow strong in the Yatuk-Dinoih (witchcraft) that
you become like the Daeva, a demon yourself in mind and flesh. So it is
essential to strengthen your mind and to remain focused as a source of
darkness and fire within the mind, seek Alcoman by the triad of Will-
Desire-Belief. Use a black candle and image in cursing, imagining their
fading light being devoured by darkness with serpents, wolves, boars and
other creatures devouring them and the shadow consuming them.
Blessings
As essential as cursing, one may perform blessings to those of a similar
path by way of love. Use the Daevas Akatash or Az for blessing and
Agape rituals. Focus on the person in question and imagine the darkness
forming into light with their image in the center. You will wish to
visualize this before sleep with a Red Candle.
Druj
The Druj in the Gathas is a female demon whose kingdom is darkness. The
term and name Druj represents wickedness and centralizes Druj as being
the center of evil in the world, or that all wickedness is focused on Her. It
may appear that in early Gathas text that Az - Jeh is but a
manifestation under a different name, thus Druj may be a loose term. The
term Druj is also connected by the inscriptions of Darius that all evil is in
Drauga and the term Lie. Here we find a later connection in Norse
mythology as Draugr, being a corporeal undead, a demon possessing a
body and living on in it in burial mounds and graveyards. Draugr is
closely connected with Snake or Dragon as well, from that both ghosts and
serpents were always guardians of ancient and ruling kings. The Draugr
were strong men or women in life, thus in death their spirit and mind
survives, allowing them to be walking dead. Here is the very
underlining connection to vampirism which is subtle, yet striking when one
transverses beyond the veil of Daevodata. Thus the term Druj, which
representing a specific type of manifestation in the Gathas, was
249
broadened later on in the Vendidad text and early in the Avestan period.
M.N. Dhalla, in the "History of Zorastrianism" wrote that the Druj was
designated as that evil descent and devilish in nature, her abode being in the
North (Arezura). Writing concerning the Druj also, Dhalla writes that within
her "burrows gathered the demons" that she has a hundred-fold brood.
Suggesting also in "The History of Zoroastrianism", Dhalla goes on to
explain that as knowledge from the sacred texts, Druj come both
openly and in secret, hidden in society and their touch corrupts. The
Druj Nasa is the fly demoness who creates other druj in the body of the
dead, thus a powerful form to offer dead matter to in rituals invoking
darkness.
The Daevaodata
The Knowledge of Demons, the 31 Devs of the Yatuk Dinoih
Herein is the ancient offering of Akoman, the Evil Mind and most
powerful of the Daevas, the true and ancient book of the dreaming dead,
those who may be summoned from darkness, formed by desire and
ensorcelled by lust and belief. Be cauti ous to your methods of
summoning, be it by Will-Desire-Belief, by seed or menstrual blood, by the
very essence of the sorcerer. Some Daevas or Druj will linger and bring
you to obsession, be cautious how you call them. Do not attempt to
summon or Work with them if you have not went unto the circle
previously with a pure heart, or else you shall be cursed. Do not seek
communication with the spirits unless you have first went forth unto the
Circle of the Adversary, Ahriman, to seek proper self-imposed direction. Be
warned.
Just as the Zoroastrian orthodoxy has suggested that opposition between

both good and evil are so profound and distinct, some rites to invoke
their angels by speaking the Daevas and Ahrimanic shades are invoked by
howling, thus another term for "Goetia", which as suggested and
reaffirmed in modern times by Nathaniel Harris, the word Goetia means
"Howling of the Witches", thus lays in cipher the mode of how such
sorcery is conducted. Aleister Crowley always suggested, "Invoke often" and
with a sense of ecstasy and willed self-fascination. Be not fooled or led
astray, this Grimoire of the Spirit of Shadow is not one of mere
reversed religious doctrine, but Luciferian Witchcraft is outside of any
orthodoxy and does not operate within a religious concept, thus the aims of
this Book of the Fire of Ahriman restores the Adversary as the Angel which
Awakened Mankind, who gave Womankind a divinity she could only sense
with other religions!
250

Presented now are the 31 Daevas of the Yatuk Dinoih, the Spirits of
Angra Mainyu. Seek them with caution, but with full resolve to
accomplish your aims and to become. In your rites, give to the dark
places of the earth and you shall see result. Connect yourself with the land
and it shall connect with you.

Akoman
Akoman from Ako Manah is the most powerful Daeva created by
Ahriman, the Adversary. It is written in the Denkard that Akoman
produced "falsehood" Akoman is the demon of the Evil or independent,
isolate and sorcerous mind. This is the Daeva which has no earthly form but
is as the Black Flame in each witch - Pairikas or sorcerer - Yatus, the
very Luciferian and Satanic independent Mind, the Antinomian
thought itself. Daemon of cursing, attacking and destroying enemies by
nightmares and penetrating the subconscious to initiate self -destruction. A
harmful defensive shade useful in extreme circumstances. Akoman
which is a translation of EVIL MIND) may also be viewed as the
selfleification and separation from the natural order. Akoman is immortal
by the fires of the psyche, the eye in the smoke. Akoman is one of the 7
Archdemons created by Ahriman, symbolized in the Paitisha as a hand
with and Eye representing the isolate mind. Akoman is essential as a
manifestation of darkness made flesh.
Druj Nas
Nas or Nasu, The spirit of dead matter, of the corpse and the sleep of
katatonic unconsciousness. Nas may be associated with the semetic
Beelzebub or Lord of Flies. Nas which is called also Nsai translates 'dead
matter', and thus represents contamination and pollution. Nas is the
daemon of Necromancy and conversation with the dead, divination and
such. Nas may be visualized as the shadow which holds a gateway to
those who have passed beyond the veil and remain earth bound. Nas is
considered to be in form that of an insect composed of dead flesh, thus a
very grotesque demon which may hold the keys to transversing with
death and the sending forth of the fly - demon to others. She dwells in the
Mountain of Arezura, or Hell in the cold North. Invoke her in the rites of
ensorcelling darkness by offering dead matter such as nail clippings, hair
or spittle in the holes or cracks in the earth or rocks. It is suggested also to
create a small hole or crack in the earth which you use
ritualistically, thus an abode of demons.
Vizaresh
Phis Persian Daemon is the initiator into the Gates of Hell, which are the
ridden depths of the Mind. The gates of Arezura (A mountain in the
Iorth) is symbolic of the Gates of Hell in such mythology. One may
nvoke Vizaresh to go forth to Hell, to seek the council of thy Daemon
?amiliar, just as Akht-Jadu the Sorcerer did when he battled with
(avisht i Friyan. Akht went forth by sorcery to Hell and communicated
with Ahriman. Vizaresh may be summoned for the astral body to go forth n a
communion with this spirit. Visaresh means "the dragger away" and refers to
his guidance through the gates of hell.
255
Andar
Andar is a demon-Guide of Self-Isolation to initiate the Black Flame of the
self. A daemon of guidance towards Godhood or Self-Deification.
Appears as a black hooded figure, wraithlike and whispers in a tongue
most likely Arabic or something older. The impressions one will recieve
from this spirit will be translated by you instincts accordingly. Andar
may best be invoked by a Staota which calls darkness inward - outward,
from which the spirit's impulses become your own. What lies beneath the
blackened robe of Andar, can their be another Daemon awakened which
bears a flame which was lit from the original torch of Ahriman? Andar is the
same as the Indian Indra, being a beneficient God in the Vendas, who is a
great divinity who is also known to be in the Boghaz-keui tablets
Michael W. Ford
discovered in Asia Minor according to M.N. Dhalla in the History of

Zoroastrianism.
Kundak
The steed of which the wizard shall ride to the Sabbat, the gathering of
spirits. One evokes Kundak by a Staota which makes the form of shadow
from which by dream the sorcerer may take flight. Kundak for women,
holds a large phallic piece on the back from which she may be aroused by
the desire of the devil's steed. Kundak is suggested for those who seek
dreaming flight, focus on a mantric vibration and going forth on a black
shadowy steed. There are some references that Kundak is also a Wizard,
thus adding to some shape shifting abilities of the sorcerer. Kundak can
alternately be viewed as a sorcerer who brings you the knowledge and
chants of ancient initiation, primal atavistic resurgence.
Savar
Savar is the leader of the Daevas and considered a powerful demon.
Considering the mentioning of Savar, a seeming likeness to Belial in
medieval and Jewish demonology should be suggested. A lord of chaos,
central for creating storms in the astral plane to force change. If one is
257
111.- -ad
attacked by another, or must force change upon a difficult situation, this

Daemon is very useful. Be cautious in evocations, Savar tempts many into
chaos and disruption. Savar is one of the Lord of Demons, that it is a spirit
which walks the shadow world and listens well to the sorcerer who
summons it.
Naikiyas
A daemon of self-improvement and advancement. This may be related to
material success, aided with spiritual advancement within the aspects of the
Left Hand Path. Naikiyas is a spirit of discontentment, and may not only
focus on self-improvement of ones life, but complete destruction of one who
is not balanced. Be cautious in your workings with Naikiyas, for you shall
become if not careful your own worst enemy.
Taprev
A Daemon of Poisoning teaches men and women the art of herbalism in
relation to cursing and causing destruction. The poisons it seems to
teach are the art of Astral warfare, from which through dreams the victim
may be poisoned through absorbing astral energy (Vampirism). Taprev is the
creator of poisons with plants, and within the mind of the weak. It wraps
around the brain and slowly drains it, sending thoughts into the brain
which are not there own initially.
Zairich
A daemon which teaches the use of herbs and wort cunning, poisoning, and
devouring through dreams the astral body and stability of the
individual. Invoke Zairich against ones enemy, and slowly they shall
perish by their own bad choices and weakness. Zairich hungers for the life
force of those who drink of the waters of fleshly life, for he poisons their
wells.
Taromat
Being in form, Taromaiti is a feminine demon spirit of heresy who may be
invoked in the homes of the Daevayasnanam or Yatus. An Ahrimanic
spirit who brings anarchy, disobedience and rebellion. Essentially a
powerful spirit which may be invoked to enforce an exploration of the
essence of Ahrimanic forces, and that such is necessary towards the
balance of life. To awaken the Antinomian spirit, invoke Taromat - let the
seeds of self-deification be sown.
258
Michael W. Ford
Mitrokht
This Daemon is called a Liar, as it teaches the manipulation of reality
and what it is. Concepts within astral Vampirism mirror this ancient
spirit which is able through Will - Belief - Desire, and utilized with the
Command to Look, change "truth" to its benefit. This discipline is
259
obtained through the developed individual working with such a Daemon

within Ahrimanic Sorcery, or as the title suggests, Yatuk Dinoih. The Evil
Eye is a transformative process which projects the Will itself, to be able to
Curse by sight those who might see you. This will manifest in
accidents and troubles for the one cursed, and they may not even
recognize it as it occurs. Mitrokht is stealth in darkness, for when one has
become as this Demon, their sight may cast lots that will grow in time.
Arashk
Witchcraft is based on the ability to charm, or command a presence
within any given environment. This is done so by the posture and most
importantly through the Eyes themselves. The Evil Eye is a discipline
Arashk is able to provide, which is essential in the manifestation of the
Will, the strengthening itself of ones own individual presence. If utilized
with Mitrokht, the sorcerer shall develop a stare which is piercing and
equally as dangerous.
Eshm
Called also Ashema or Asmodeus, One of the 7 Powers of Ahriman which is
essentially the chaos bringer in the circle, commanding the forces of
destruction. Within a Vampiric context, Eshm is a Daemon of
Destruction, Draining lifeforce and absorption. Eshm is also a demon
which has the power of the Evil Eye as well. Eshm is Aeshma Daeva, or
Asmodeus. The work of Eshm is the Wounding Spear, the one who
carries the bloodied mace, the spirit of lycanthropic hunger, vampyric or
Luciferian spiritual thirst. This spiritual "thirst" is related to Az, being the
desire for continued existence. This is the essence of true vampirism, an
predatory spirit who devours prey by ways of ensorceling his or her desire,
absorbing it and manifesting it.
Akatash
This is a Daemon of Sexual Magick, creation of Incubi and Succibi. A
suggested force for causing morbid or atavistic sexual dreams to another
through evocation. Invocation will reveal the hidden fountain of sexual
knowledge and force. You may awaken something you might have not
wanted known by this Daemon however, be warned. Akatash is indeed a
demon of Perversion which is called Nikirayih, who makes all creatures
who come unto it averse. This is the shadow initiatory focus of come unto
Light (of being) by darkness.
Zarman
This Spirit ages the victim from which the Sorcerer evokes. This causes
mental strain upon those who are considered enemies by attacking cell
structure and causing mental pressure by resurgent distasteful
memories. Zarman, from the initiatory aspect cause knowledge to be
brought forth in a simple and easier fashion, but causes physical strain for
the sorcerer.
260
Michael W. Ford
Chishmak
A Daemon of the astral plane, related to causing storms and tornados.
Chishmak is related to the astral plane and dream control for defense and
offensive attacks. The sorcerer who is able to use the form of
Chishmak will be inclinded to cause much damage to the enemy. From the
initiatory aspect, Chishmak is beneficial for those who further which to
externalize their own transformations on the astral plane, to shape
their form according to the great shadow of this daemon to actually raise
storms on the astral. Chishmak is also a powerful demon who causes
disasters which are Vazandak.
Vareno
A daemon of the creation of Succubi - Incubi. Such a form may be
41 evoked in the Goetic circle to charge the spirit Vareno to manifest
according to the sorcerer's sexual desire. This is not without a word of
caution. Vareno may shape between female or male but also is able to
bury itself in the mind of the sorcerer if not careful. Vareno may be
summoned and sent forth as a child of Ruha-AZ to seek sexual congress
with a sleeper on the astral plane. You may send messages and visions to
the individual by Vareno.
Push
Push is a Daeva which is to store and hoard energy, not devouring it nor
releasing it. This spirit name represents Pushu, the first level of Tantric
inflation. The sorcerer who wishes to work with Push may summon the
demon into a crystal, and focus its energy there. You may send forth
Push to drain an enemy of his or her own energy, and this demon will
1
hold it. You may then absorb it by exerting it from the crystal. As a
means of self-initiation in Luciferian Sexual Magick, one may invoke
Push to seek to control the beast of the mind and body — not for denial
purposes alone, rather to control and create a straight forward form of
discipline and strength via Will. When one moves through other aspects
of Tantric work, Sexual experience will be more profound by the
foundations of this practice which is laid down here.
Bushasp
Bushasp is a female gendered demon which causes sloth. This force may
be evoked to cause an enemy to slow or to grow tired from attack. This
b generally is a slow process, results may be noted over time. Such a
1 demon may slowly infect the thoughts of the intended victim, until they
are consumed with Bushasp. She is very useful in slowing the thoughts
a n d reactions of the enemy, which brings benefit to your plans.
, ej
A Malicious daemon which may be evoked for annihilation of a specific
111 enemy. This spirit is said to work in a manner of which causes the
target to invoke their demise, rather than to directly cause it. The
261
Daemon 'forces the hand, willingly'.

Niyaz
The Daemon Niyaz is beneficial in areas of causing distress and discord to
ones own enemy. Niyaz is a daemon of chaos, spreading the forms of
disruption and suffering to the enemy. Visualize Niyaz and send forth this
demon through the black mirror to the victim.
Friftar
Translated as 'cleciever', Friftar may be invoked by the sorcerer who
wishes to learn the art of protean, to pass through opinions and concepts as
they need fit him/her. This is one point or essence of witchcraft, the
ability to manipulate the situation around you. Satan is called also the
deciever as its ability of fluid change, altering ideals and corrupting those of
which is a great desire and pleasure - this is art of sorcery. Friftar is also a
demon which may provide adversarial self-deification, but a power of
presence.
Spazg
This is another daemon which causes chaos and discord. If per chance, you
are within a situation which you need to be liberated from, Spazg is a force
which may bring the witch complete chaos in their own life, so that
through the storm, you may pass beyond it without due notice. The daemon
Spazg is also an excellent divination force, showing which everything
we commonly believe is a lie and the essence is generally either more
extreme or the opposite of which we have come to accept as truth. The sigil
of the name of Spazg may be evoke or invoked using the chaos sigil and
visualizing the sigil above within it.
Arast
A daemon which is brings forth lies and falsehoods. Within the vampiric
circle, the lie is the truth yet unwoven, or soon to be woven. It is through the
Words of Will that flesh may arise and become truth. Arast is a sigil of
becoming, from which the workings of Lesser Black Magick or Sorcery may
enflesh the desire to become! By summoning Arast, you may manifest
your desires by focusing on what you wish while vibrating a Staota.
Aighash
A malignant and dangerous daemon, which holds the essence of the Evil
Eye, or sight of sorcery. It is through the means of Command to Look that
the eyes hold the window to the soul. It should be considered, that in
every day or "dayside" life we experience our surroundings as reality, is this
considered so because of the lack of thought attributed with it? How can
we hold near to ourselves that what we experience is truth? It simply is
not truth. Nothing is true, everything is permitted is the allegory from
which we weave reality around us. Everything is composed of a dream, the
source and beginning. From the dream can we manipulate the
surroundings of our environment, and in the waking may
262
Michael W. Ford
by careful words announce our web-weaving truths through those

around us. The eyes are the significant point from which the Luciferian
defines presence. By gazing intently into the eyes of the individual or
sheep can our Wills become flesh to those around us. Aighash, a daemon
which brings the brain to utilize its true gifts, may activate the area of the
brain from which we may be trained to look through the masses. The legends
of the "Evil Eye" from that the resourceful witch may use the lore of ages
from which his/her eyes may present the piercing stare of the Luciferian
Will.
Astwihad
Astwihad, called also Astovidhotu meaning "Bone divider" is considered
silent death, who is continually hungering for human life. It is said that this
demon prowls on padded feet and none can hear it approach.
Astovidad is also another alternate spelling. In the Bundehesh, Astovidad is
made reference to as a Predatory Spiritualist, in that "..when he looks the
victim in the eye, with his deadly gaze, he deprives him of life". He/it
263
is said to cast a noose on men and drag them into the Abyss.
The mysteries of the Dragon itself is revealed in the understanding of
Varcolaci, the vampire wraith associated with Transylvanian folklore.
Astwihad is called the 'Evil Flyer' who siezes life (draining life force)
through the dream. It is within the desert winds of the night which the
Astwihad feeds from the sleeper. One may use the Astwihad as a point of
vampiric communion, while using the wraith to adopt the form ideal to the
sorcerer. The wizard who is able to summon and encircle the self in the
presence of Astwihad is able to transform and grow the shadow of the
sorcerer into a vampyre wraith form.
Apaosh
A Daemon which controls elements specifically rain. You may summon
Apaosh to cause a 'cloud' over your enemy, but also that same cloud that you
may dream project through. Apaosh is also significant if focusing the
dreaming body into the astral plane upon sleeping. Make reference to the
Luciferian Sigil from the medieval grimoires, at the bottom of the sigil is a
cloud like image which seems to have an eye or such from which a
tendril expands from. The Ahrimanic and Luciferian Currents relate to the
powers of the Air, and Earth collectively. The demon is also one of
drought, may cause a chosen target thirst and depression by drying up their
imagination or dreams.
Aspenjargack
Indeed, a Daemon which controls the elements, but more specifically
rain. One reference to the element of rain is attributed to the wraith
which comes upon the sleeper in the dream.

Azi Dahaka
Azi Dahaka/Dahak/Zahhak is what could be originally perceived as a Son
of Satan or Antichrist before the concept. He was in the beginning a man, a
King whose pact which Ahriman led to his knowledge of sorcery, as well as
being kissed on the shoulders by the Devil, causing two black and
venomous serpents to sprout from his shoulders. He slowly
transformed into a dragon and whose original name of Zohak or the Mog
name of Bivarasp, who was said to be a King during the time of Noah,
slowly transformed into a three headed Dragon Man, who was later after a
thousand year rule, disappeared from his kingdom and became one of the
most powerful druj or daevas, earning his the name of Azhi (meaning snake)
or Azi Dahaka.
A storm daemon created by Ahriman, which takes the form of a Dragon
such as its creator. Azi Dahaka appears as a snake like form with three
heads and six eyes. A very useful spirit if creating a barrier against other
attacks of defense. The dreams of those who seek to harm you will in
effect begin suffering, causing subconscious chaos and instability.
Eventually, shall not only the dreams of the attacker become strained, but
also shall it manifest in their waking life. Turmoil begins in the
subconscious, and later incarnates in the conscious to become a demon
265
which may not be banished. Azi Dahaka is also a very significant

Luciferian familiar, who acts as the King (Malik) made Daemon (Zohak) -
Initiation. It must known that in modern times Azi Dahaka represents the
Dragon King who is as the Antichrist, one who seeks to work with such an
ancient force of darkness must be prepared to do their work on earth, by
manifesting their very own personal art in their life. Azi Dahaka is an inner
guide to Summon, but never control. This very force is the Son of
Ahriman in a chaos form, being of serpents and the darkness of the primal
self. Zahhak is filled with serpents and lizards.
Zohak the Vadakan monarch was given 1,000 years earthly reign by
Ahriman (Satan) through a pact. Ahriman also offered this pact to a
Zoroastrian named Zartosht, all he was suggested to do was to renounce the
so-called "Good Religion" and the Mazda - worshipping belief. An
antichrist can be many, a Son of Satan can be anyone who in the circle of
their own sorcery, may proclaim a pact with the Adversary. This is the
magical process of Azothoz. In modern times, this may be viewed as a
self-created pact and mastery of the self by aligning with the Left Hand
Path or Antinomian law. Just as Azi Dahaka was sent to this world (via
initiation, re birth) to be a scourge to the world of so-called rightousness, he
was empowered as a Demon god on earth, and his final
transformation into the immortal Storm Fiend and Dragon which was
made via the astral plane.
AZ
The Female counterpart of Ahriman, known as AZ. The Goddesses
Babalon and Lilith are the same as AZ, the point of magical awakening and
transference of awakening through the feminine archetype. Az may be
considered the daemonic visage of a great shadow woman, serpents
writhing in her hair, upon the back of a great Dr agon (the Beast). Az
drinks from the chalice of the primal abyss, the beginning and the blood of
the false saints, whose heads were severed to serve as vessels of the great
darkness. Az is the primal atavistic manifestation of vampyrism and
hunger. She is the sexual desire within woman and man, she was the
weapon of Concupiscence, whoredom and devourment. Az is said to cause
disruption, but this may be viewed as antinomian rebellion -
invoke her and balance this force, save you become devoured by her own
animalistic instincts. Az is the original teacher of sexuality and
copulation of the Fallen Angels, according to Manichaean religious lore. Az
taught the demons to take form and by joining their bodies having sex to
form other demons, which she devoured or used humans for clothing
(possession).
Ahriman
Ahriman manifests in the darkness with the body of a Lizard, or Vazagh, or
Toad, his abode is Filth which is Kalch. Ahriman awakens those who
contain the Black Flame of being to the devotion of Witchcraft or Yatuk-
Dinoih. By Averse practice does one step beyond the world, and emerge
266
Michael W. Ford
as a God in the Blackened Flame of his Essence. The Shadow Opposing

force, Ahriman is the God form of the Shadow initiate, one who dives the
darkness to discover the Light of the Black Flame. Ahriman is related
with the Zoroastrian religion in the Pahlavi times. The Greeks and
Romans knew Ahriman as Arimanius, Herodotus compared him to the
Greek "Kakodaimon", meaning 'Evil Spirit'. The name Ahriman itself
means 'fiendish spirit'. Ahriman should be invoked as a spirit which is a
Guardian of the Threshold, much like the Sufic IBLIS. In which the
sorcerer shall then seek (if he or she dares) to invoke the daemon, which
hisses in many voices which seems as the desert sand. Be strong of Will
and invoke for the right reasons. Seek the knowledge of the hidden, from
which once you shall invoke Ahriman shall the opposite be revealed. It is
when one clings to old perception and fails to embrace new perception that
such a Daemon becomes malignant to the mind. Ahriman
represents individual thought, ensorcelment and self-deification.
Ahriman or Angra Mainyu is left in specific terms to being "Evil Mind", thus
a spirit of independent intelligence. He was the Seraphim who had torn
himself from the womb first to be rejected by his father, Zurvan, because
he was different. He was soon cast from heaven along with his fellow
angels to earth and hell. He began to create his own worlds, his own
methods according to his own desire. Ahriman indeed represents the state of
the primal darkness and serpents of the earth, this very force is useable
within sorcery, it is a method of control and manifesting what you desire.
Ahriman is also the Adversary in continual motion, when one dedicates
himself to the averse way or Left Hand Path he or she begins a process of
'becoming' like the Devil or shadow mind his or herself. They transform and
mutate into a very body of Magick itself, an embodiment of the current.
Ahriman's form is your very desire.
Each demon may be evoked or summoned forth by a sorcerer who is

strong in his or her own being. Once the intiate has walked the path of the
Yatus, those who wander, are able to communicate with specific forces
mentioned above. Be dilligent and strong in your work with the Yatuk -
Dinoih, unless you cause yourself great pain. A sigillic formula from which
the demons may be summoned forth-
Ozosostra, Ozosostra, Ozosostra arise from the dead

matter,
Arimanius ascend from the filth of darkness
I become as thee, master of shadows...
Make thy home as serpents slithering from my flesh Make
my own Will be done, upon earth as it is in Hell
267
Pr"
Akht and the Knowledge of Staota - The Law of

Vibrations
Akht or Akhtya (the present Magickal name of the Author) was presented in
the Matigan-I Yosht-I Fryan, a tale of the test between Akht and Yosht, one
who was called a holy man by Zoroastrian, Akht being the
manifestation of Ahriman. Akht itself means Filth, Pestilence and Evil.
Akhtya is also a founder of the materialized form (matter) of the Yatus or
Yatuk Dinoih, considered a coven of demons that were considered
wanderers. Akht was considered evil because he sought to trap those
seeking the holy path in filth and pestilence. A modern association would
represent that Akht is
A tester and ensorceler of Magick. He is the initiator of the Left Hand
Path and awakens the primal atavisms that those of the Path of
SelfDestruction (i.e. Right Hand Path, that of Dissolution) fight so hard to
destroy within themselves.
What is about to be presented should be taken and considered with care.

The formula is primal and barbarous in its expression. As the writer
Ervad Marzban Hathiram wrote in an article concerning the Matigan I
Yosht I Fryan, Akht would test those holy ones with the Staota, which was
wound in a tight spring The spring was given (the question) and when
they tried to open the spring (answer whatever question) the force itself
would destroy them, if they were not strong enough to take the vibration.
The following Staota, which is the Alphabet of Desire or Shadow

Tongue, or Sorcerer's Spells of Power is just that. It was created to
EMPOWER and awaken primal sorcerous knowledge within the waking and
dreaming body of the Wizard or Witch. These Words are utterances of the
abyss, demonic mantras of power which lead to an end of each riddle.
While the Words given may not have recognizable meaning, they do have
meaning in depth. You may wish to focus upon them in dreaming and
record their meaning as it came to them in mediation before sleep and
dreaming knowledge. It leads to Averse knowledge and that of the Serpent,
the Dragon's Path fulfilled in part. That is the hint of the Work itself. While
the Staota is a Mantric exercise, the Sorcerer may use these words of power
to cause a funnel of energy around his or her being. This is a dangerous
exercise, as it could lead to self-dissolution (i.e. Right Hand Path or that to
Ahura Mazda) or to become as Akht itself.
268
Michael W. Ford
In the text of Akht, his highly developed spiritual counterpart is

Huparsh. In an initiatory context, you may recognize her NAME which is not
spoken, yet is terrible and filled with the Cup of Filth and Fornication
that we seek. In the myth, she is not evil or averse, yet here she is
presented in inspired fiction.
Each Word should be vibrated with a strong voice, and that force is
focused from the chest throughout the body and upward. Use your
imagination to circulate this vortex from your body. Staotas or Shadow
Tongue is simply used when the sorcerer is performin g a rite which
would require such a focus of which the word sigil represents. In a
cursing or invoking of Dev of the 31 Shadows of the Yatuk Dinoih,
conjure a form relating to them using a Staota.

The Ten Adominations of Akht-Jadu in the circle of

the Zanda
ear- a(
The Zanda is a term which refers to an Apostle of Ahriman, from the word
Zandiks meaning heretics (thank to J.H. Peterson). A Yatus is a sorcerer and
the Pairikas are the witches and she - devils who are with them. As a
Luciferian, it is essential for the sorcerer to begin to set the stage for the
transformation in their own world, and open possibilities in the world around
them. This is done by one person at a time. Belief is a powerful tool, use it
with caution and make the world open to the Gates of Hell.
Akhtya originally wrote Ten Adonminations, this is the modern definition

according to the Yatuvidah of Coven Maleficia.
I am the circle which has opened the gates of Arezura

That the dragon spirit has come forth
272
Michael W. Ford
Son of Art, Son of Midnight Let

darkness now take form
Spirit which has now been named shall take form
From my flesh, the Temple of this World
As Aeshma is the guardian of the devouring will
By the averse ways, crooked serpent way
Shall my words be flesh
1. That the Yatus or Pairikas (Luciferian) shall seek to inspire

antinomian disobedience against the Christian and Catholic
church and the herd mass of humanity by art, music or otherwise. It is
essential for the Luciferian to separate his or herself from the path of
Christ or similar spirit-destroying religions by the initiatory process of
the Left Hand Path, at the very least in the essence of Paganism or an
avenue which leads towards spiritual freedom
against Christianity and religions alike.
2. To assist in the annihilation of Christianity the Luciferian should
seek to introduce all forms and practices of sorcery to the general
public. This includes Wicca, Satanism, Voodoo, Santeria, New Age
and any faith which in some way begins a process of separation
from the weakness filled faith of Christianity and Islam.
3. That man shoud obey the law of the jungle, that anyone who
crosses you should be delt with in the same manner. If you are
wronged by one, make them suffer 10 fold. Build your temple
through collecting skulls and always use the intellect to battle when
possible, violence is an old Christian crutch which always justifies
war in the name of God.
4. A common law of respect should be shown to each individual
based on the foundations of politeness. When one becomes rude, the
kindness should be turned to enmity. Seek always to devour and
advance the practice of the spirit predator - this is the law of the
world.
5. Human nature should be sought to be elevated and transformed
based on the image of the Beast and Dragon. That the Luciferian
and Witch should seek to be a reflection of her or his Gods, thus
seeking to be an expression of that path and current, a living
vessel of Daemonic beauty. By this, according to the Antinomian
and ancient law, demons may reside in the body. Practice your
magick with the intent of becoming or do not practice it at all, once
the gates are opened, they are quite difficult to close.
6. The Luciferian should always seek wisdom and experience, yet
never directly learn wholeheartedly from a religious person. It must be
known their reason is clouded, and they are mere sheep. Be
always opened minded by listening and making rational choices based
from the words they speak. Keep free from their
brainwashing.
273
7. The Luciferian should seek to create an opportunity to have an

inclination towards Sin and Indulgence, however with control and
caution. Seek to bring the Luciferian path into the world by varied
means, thus improving the world at large.
8. No man or woman should practice any form of organizational
Christianity, no exorcisms, blessings or such profane rituals
should be performed. Seek to desanctify the Church and make it your
own place of Witchcraft, seek the Knowledge of Demons by working
within the church or behind the lines of religion. Blend in
and create positive change or fight them spiritually outside.
9. The Luciferian may move among the orthodox, yet never accepting
the words of the priests, for they are mostly child molesters and
the antithesis of advanced self-development.
10. It must be clearly stated that the Luciferian or Yatus must
seek to take the divine beings of Christianity and to show enmity by
inverting them, bringing their followers into darkness and
showing affection to the demons. No longer should Christ be
adored but should be changed to appear as the Antichrist, worship
this Beast and Dragon within yourself and make it flesh on earth.
Darkness and Antinomian Witchcraft - Arabic

Similarities in practice
The essence of Ahriman was said to be fashioned similar to coal and ash. AZ
was created in association with this matter as well. The ideological
approach to Ahriman and the Yatuk Dinoih must be studied in a western
context based from the Arabic connections. In AZOTHOZ, the poetic -
invocation text relates the transformative interplay between Malak Tauus
(Shaitan - Azazel) with Ahriman, Light and Darkness - from which both are
connected. In the Yezidi tribes of Northern Iraq, the symbolism of Shaitan
was the peacock and the black snake. In relevance to the text of the Yatuk
Dinoih the initiatory approach must be made clear - It is through
darkness that we reach light.
Malak Tauus is the Peacock (tauus) Angel (Malak). It is suggested by

Idries Shah74 that Malak is used in the context of Abu El -Ghazali's
definition of Angels, being "Higher faculties in man". The serpent is a
symbol of the manifestation of Ahriman according to the Zoroastrians and
coal or black ash is part of the matter of Ahriman. The Yezidi's rubbed
the snake with coal to signify wisdom. The word FEHM (charcoal' is of FHM,
meaning black and wise. Idries Shah pointed out in The Sufi; that the Sufic
Phrase, Dar tariki, tariqat' (In the Darkness, the Path reflects the ideal
that Light or Wisdom comes from the Darkness. It is

considered that also the Antinomian approach of the Left Hand Path is not
moral or ethical 'evil' as so considered wrongly by the Christians, but the idea
of the Voincidentia Oppositorum'm or the Sun at Midnight76. The Arabic
root words FHHM (pronounced Facham) and FHM (fecham) is symbolic of
Baphomet, or the Black Head of Wisdom. FHM means to perceive, to
understand' therefore relates the Theurgic process of self becoming through
self-deification. In relation to Baphomet, the Black or Wise Head was
described as Shah as being in part in the Coat or Arms of Hugues de Payns
(which translates 'Of the Pagans') which had three Saracen heads,
indicating heads of wisdom.
The practitioner of Yatuivah is that of the widdershins movement against the

Sun, it is by the Antinomian or Un-Natural focus that brings the self into
darkness (Hell or Helan, a secret place) that the True Will/Angelic
Familiar/Holy Guardian Angel is brought forth to Light (Lucifer). The
darkest arts of sorcery and Black Magick lead towards positive human
development - we become something 'other'.
The path of moving in circles in Sufism is done Widdershins, or

counterclockwise. This may be related indirectly to the root QaLB -
meaning averse of the wrong side. Ahriman was said to have created the
Peacock for the reason of displaying that he could infact cr eate
something beautiful, but so chose the darkness regardless. There are also
specific Sufic tales of the Peacock guarding the gates of Heaven, from which
Iblis tricked it and the Peacock was cast down as Shaitan's bird.

The Four Hells
Within the Avesta and other ancient Persian texts, the very process of
initiation within the antinomian Yatuk-Dinoih may be found in their own
writings. One must be careful not to look at all aspects of Ahriman as
òtherworldly', rather symbolic points which may be utilized to initiate
ones self into the Left Hand Path of the Yatus or Pairikas. One must
understand, while our initiatory current is partially found in these texts,
those who practice under Yatuk Dinoih are no means seeking the harm of
the universe, it is imperative to understand the difference of
symbolism verses religious opposition and their trappings against us.
Duzh Ahu is called the Evil Existence, the antinomian path against all
others. What does it mean to be against all others? The path of
Luciferian Witchcraft is one which compels the Adept to walk a path
independent from others, to be different and not blending with the herd
mentality of the religions it opposes. How does one validate the Luciferian
Path, by action and deed alone. The four hells found in later texts of the
Avesta give four steps which transform the soul and body into Daeva, a
spirit of Ahriman. The Adept does not perform deeds against others,
rather he or she empowers their own life by transforming the self into a
Luciferian or Ahrimanic type of individual, depending on their definition.

Descriptions of Hell
Hell was originally considered a place of the dead, not a fire lake. Hell
means secret and thus represents the inner most place of the Black
Adept and dwelling. With that in mind, the Avestan descriptions of hell
mention that Hell is located in the middle of earth, below the Chinwad
Bridge in Zoroastrian lore. This is found it is said at the surface of earth, near
Mount Demavand in a mythical mountain called Arezura, known as the
Mouth of Hell. It is in the Northern regions, which is the universal
direction of Hell and the Dark powers. It is said that the daevas or
demons hold their fiendish gatherings at Arezur, the Mouth of Hell. It is
also the dwelling place of Druj Nasu, the fly demon.
When using ritualistic practice, the Adept may visualize their own astral
body going forth to Hell with the demon Vizaresha, who carries the soul.
Here, the Black Adept may focus on what they wish, then think of
aspects of their own being they wish to change and transform.
Hell is considered a deep, cold and stony place, where there is both cold
and hot areas, where stench and filth surround the individual. The
deeper parts of hell contain the Daevas and other souls. This is much like
the realm of Seker in the Egyptian underworld, or that of Set from the
Book of the Dead and the Tuat. Some Adepts of the Luciferian Path have
created spirit pots, called Ngangas which are made of grave soil, human
and animal bones, serpent skin, blood, menstrual blood and grave
stones. This spirit pot is ritualistically charged and then used in ritual
workings and meditations. It said the nourishment in hell is made of lizard,
the venom of snakes, scorpions, menstrual blood and human flesh, ashes
and other 'filth' is given to those in hell.
Dushmata (Evil Thought)
As it begins with Dushmata, the first hell is that of the MIND itself (Aka
Manah), thus Will-Desire-Belief is the component from which initiation first
begins. Your mind must begin to THINK like "Ahriman" or "Lucifer". The
mind become firstly before change can begin. To understand the most
significant of Daevas created by Ahriman, one must know it is Akoman,
the shadowy intelligence which is within each Yatus and Pairikas.
Dushukhta (Evil Word)
The next step in this initiatory process is that of Dushukhta, "evil word".
Once the initiate has dedicated his or her mind to the antinomian path, the
mind begins to change and become. This is just the beginning. The
283
Hell of Dushukhta is the second level representing the "Evil Word", that is
the voice of the serpent, or druj. The word makes flesh by carefully
planning your speech; ensuring people can clearly understand you and
meaning what you say. You can validate or measure this process by the
results of the techniques you employ. Are you succeeding in your desires, are
you making them real? Do people understand and respect your words
or are you ignored as being untrustworthy. There is a test within this
process, that is, your words should make others recognize the
possibility of favorable situations but the entire process (on varying
levels) create the actual goal to become flesh. Do not speak that which
you have no reasonable possibility to achieve. Find a valid way and then
move the gears in your own world to let them happen.
Dushvarshta (Evil Deed)
The action of the Black Adept will allow for his desire to become flesh.
The deed is the point of confirmation between the realm of the astral
(mind, spirit) and the physical (flesh, body). As you work with each
aspect of the Four Hells, you will find all are linked to the initiatory
process, none may be accomplished alone and it must begin with
Dushmata. For instance, to manifest a desire, an adept may utilize the
process of Dushmata and then be able to announce his desire by
Dushukhta to open a path for Dushvarshta. This is the dynamic of
yatuk-dinoih which allows a balance of the spiritual with the physical.
Anaghra Temah (Endless Darkness)
The Religion of Dregvants is not just a spiritual aspect, but as mentioned

previously one of this world and the next. One of the greatest heresies of the
ancient Persian world was that Ahriman was said to have
foreknowledge, the Black Adept or Yatus utilizes the four hells to make his
or her desires a future possibility, regardless if more spiritual or
physical. As one begins to master the process of the Three Hells of the
Yatuk Dinoih, the Adept begins to enter the internal and external hell of
Anaghra Temah, wherein one utilizes the Averse Sorceries of Liber HVHI and
Yatuk Dinoih to develop the mind and the sorcerous aspects of the shadow.
Using the Four Hells
The Four Hells may be used as a continual aspect of initiation, as well as the
religion of the Yatus. The Four Hells are indeed similar/ same as the ones
referred to in Liber HVHI, yet those in the Qlippothic Grimoire address
different aspects of becoming and transformation. The Four
284
Michael W. Ford
Hells may be a continual guide for the Adept. Some basic suggestions for
using the Four Hells within the context of the Yatuk Dinoih-
-Afrins and invocation workings, summon daevas, create and will to form
shadows in the circle based on the process of thought, word or deed.
-The conjuration of the 31 daevas of the Yatuk Dinoih are also beneficial
with the 3 Hells, invoking and focusing the daeva based on this
selfdetermined goal.
-Meditate on the primal darkness of the Anaghra Temah, the Adept may
also invoke shadows with the union of both the Endless Darkness and the
Hell of Hells, here in a dynamic which may encircle the magician in the
gnosis of Ahriman. The 'Hell of Hells' is mentioned in Liber HVHI,
Thchan-i-Puch'. The two aspects of the "Puchan-i-Puch" within an
initiatory context are mental points of spirit gatherings, much like the
Circle and Triangle in Evocation; the very meeting place of spirits. It is on a
ritualistic level, a place of atavisms and the shades within. The Black
Adept may be able to utilize the Four Hells on a deeper practice level,
used as a scrying tool for the Temple of the Mind and Body.
Invocations of the Tunadil (Fierce Demons)
Utilize the evocation Triangle/Circle, enter and summon using the

infernal names -
Gokhastah, the hidden name of sama ameretat, hail serpent within!

Saeni, Vyambura, Ghashi, Aghashi, Paitisha, Spazga encircle me! Arise
from the dark and forgotten places of the earth! Enter my flesh and spirit,
reside within me for we are Legion. Let chaos be focused and controlled by my
desire! I am a Temple of Gokhastah on earth! By Akoman, first born of
Ahriman, Daeva of strength and wisdom of the mind, hail and arise! Open thy
eye within! Come forth Buiti, curse and strike down my enemies! So it shall be!
By Saeni, Driwi, Akatasha, Itheyjah, Skaitya, fly of Druj Nasu, come forth
and devour weakness within! Hashi arise from the soil! So it is done!
The Sorceries of Ahriman

As the sorcerous being of the Avesta, Ahriman began to manifest as a
spirit or God in the various Zoroastrian works, his enemy was indeed his
bother Ahura Mazda, this interpretation of the VENDIDAD - Fargard I
presents an initiatory view of the counter creations of Ahriman.
I. Angra Mainyu, who is called "All Death" (Ever changing,
darkened, who transverses the known boundaries - the
sorcerer) counter-created with his witchcraft the serpent in the
river and the season winter, called collectively the work of the
Daevas. The serpent in the river is viewed as also wisdom which
285
I
flows in the subconscious, the very place of hell wherein the

Black Adept draws their knowledge from. Winter is the struggle and
strength - proving season of survival of the fittest. Use the motion
of the seasons to provide consistent initiation and progression.
II. Angra Mainyu, who is called "All Death" (Ever changing,
sorcerer) counter-created with his witchcraft the fly called
Skaitya, which is said to bring death to cattle. The
Luciferian/Ahrimanist/Sethian stands outside the herd, against the
slow thinking cattle of society, the fly causes disease, rot and
death - thus change by planting the larva in the wound. The
Black Adept plants seeds of the worm into situations or states
of being which require change, although sometimes initiall y
painful, provide useful initiatory processes for the sorcerer.
III. Angra Mainyu, who is called "All Death" (Ever changing,
sorcerer) counter-created with his witchcraft what fearful and
repressed men fearful lusts. Lust is a motivational desire which
causes progression, change, wars, restful peace and strife and is
essential to our physical survival. Create possibilities for lust where
it may be so, there are many different types of lust; know which one
to use by that which is welcome.
IV. Angra Mainyu, who is called "All Death" (Ever changing,
sorcerer) counter-created with his witchcraft what is by the
ancients called Bravara, that which eats away crops. Famine is
the hunger for knowledge and experience, thus initiation. Bring this
plague to others that you may yourself awaken.
V. Angra Mainyu, who is called "All Death" (Ever changing,
sorcerer) counter-created with his witchcraft the so-called "Sin" of
unbelief. The Black Adept who walks the antinomian path is
against all the natural order of spiritual sickness, being
monotheistic religions. Angra Mainyu and the Daevas awaken
within. He who affirms Ahriman becomes Ahriman, who joins his
bride Az-Jeh within is the Black Eden - to beget dragonchildren
in darkness.
VI. Angra Mainyu, who is called "All Death" (Ever changing,
sorcerer) counter-created with his witchcraft the "stained"
mosquito. The Vampyric thirst of the Predator is our
transformed desire, we are by our natural instincts predators
who would feed from our prey. Our lives are increased by this
very religion of Predatory Spirituality, the one called God or
286
Michael W. Ford
Ahura Mazda is a cosmic devourer, vampyre who wishes his

followers to dissolve their mind in his embrace. We reject this as a
weakness! We, children of the Black Dragon, who embrace the Red
Dragon, devour all within the circle, command our presence
and design our own paths in this fleshly life!
VII. Angra Mainyu, who is called "All Death" (Ever changing,
sorcerer) counter-created with his witchcraft the Pairika
Knathaiti, who is desire made flesh, a daughter of Az-Jeh who
seduces the flesh and mind of man. Who know the opposite
within the circle can then know themselves.
VIII. Angra Mainyu, who is called "All Death" (Ever changing,
sorcerer) counter-created with his witchcraft the Sin of Tyranny. The
Black Adept must know when to command his will or move in
silence among the herd. Both are not equally for all initiates but
one or both for some is possible. Know Thyself.
IX. Angra Mainyu, who is called "All Death" (Ever changing,
sorcerer) counter-created with his witchcraft the so-called "Sin" of
the unnatural sin, Sodomy or Homosexuality. That
individuals may chose their own natural choice of path of
mutual agreement is their own business, yet also the Black
Adept regardless of sexual preference, seeks the Black Sun by the
path of the Death Posture.
X. Angra Mainyu, who is called "All Death" (Ever changing,
sorcerer) counter-created with his witchcraft the so-called "Sin" for
which there is no atonement, burial of the dead. That in the grave
Druj Nasu finds her dwelling and that of her children, that the
Vampyric spirit grows in strength and shades may arise from
it. In death there is more life, transformed.
XI. Angra Mainyu, who is called "All Death" (Ever changing,
sorcerer) counter-created with his witchcraft the evil witchcraft of
the Yatus (called wizards). This is the forbidden path against all
others, independence and the art of magick (becoming) and

XII. Angra Mainyu, who is called "All Death" (Ever changing,
sorcerer) counter-created with his witchcraft the very art of
which the Yatus may practice; the Evil Eye (the eye is a symbol of
several Daevas representing force of mind, of will) and when the
sorcerer goes forth and howls (goetia) his spells, the deadly works
of witchcraft arise...this is the art of the Cunning Man and
Woman.

XIII. Angra Mainyu, who is called "All Death" (Ever changing,

sorcerer) counter-created with his witchcraft created the "Sin" of
utter disbelief. No Son or Daughter of Ahriman should be fooled by
the mind-destroying herding of that Right Hand Path, therein
is weakness and true death.
XIV. Angra Mainyu, who is called "All Death" (Ever changing,
sorcerer) counter-created with his witchcraft the burning of
corpses, that all remains should be buried to manifest more
Daevas within the earth, that Druj Nasu may grow stronger.
XV. Angra Mainyu, who is called "All Death" (Ever changing,
sorcerer) counter-created with his witchcraft the Kiss of
Ahriman which is the cause of menstruation in women, who are
embodiments of the Goddess Az-Jeh. Their blood is best used in
spells, for it holds the key to life and death. Let the Scarlet
Woman be crowned in serpents.. that Angra Mainyu also
crowned his Son, Azi Dahaka or Zohak to awaken humanity to the
Blackened Light of Iblis.
XVI. Angra Mainyu, who is called "All Death" (Ever changing,
sorcerer) counter-created with his witchcraft the excessive heat of
drought and deserts, where there is pain, there is triumph or
failure, the test of the spirit!

You alone we shall become like; we seek strength in our selves
Guide us upon the Left Path
The path of those whom you have blessed, those isolate beings of lblis We
seek strength and power in the darkness, which leads to light"
The Ten Precepts of Zohak
Considered an Antichrist before Christ, Zohak or Azi Dahaka was

represented with a thousand year reign on earth before passing into the
astral plane and through the Gates of Hell. It is suggested in the
Denkard that Zohak had greater power above normal men in two specific
ways - he was possessed in the full strength and wisdom of the religion of
the demons, in a modern perception Luciferian Witchcraft or Magick. The
second being he destroyed the diligence of the "white" religion, that by his
two fold power being his initiator the Devil Ahriman, and the
slothfulness which destroys diligence, which may be considered a
rebellion against the Religion of the Right Hand Path.
Zohak was said to be a Scythian hero who was considered a force behind
establishing the Hebrew religion, by commanding it to be written and
placed in Jerusulem. Here The precepts of Zohak are presented anew.
While Azi Dahaka is said to have been imprisioned in the mountain of
Demavend which is 45 miles away from Tehran, those who visit are said to
be able to be taught magic by him still.
1. Zohak the Dragon-King, who is the one kissed by Ahriman, whose

shoulders have the Black serpents of wisdom sets down that the
Christian God is indeed the destroyer of life and the universe. That
by following Christianity you are seeking spiritual death.
shoulders have the Black serpents of wisdom sets down that men
and women should seek their own Daemon who is through the self
the bestower of all worldly and spiritual goods.
shoulders have the Black serpents of wisdom sets down that men
and women should seek their own justice by whatever means
necessary, by sorcery and the ability to curse and bring to p ain the
ones who wrong you.
shoulders have the Black serpents of wisdom sets down that
humans should treat others with respect until they do a wrong
against them, then they should be treated as the wolf against the
sheep.

people should have Self-Love and respect to their own selves first,

children will not be taught Christian laws and Church -advised
brainwashing, that Children should be prepared by t heir own
predilection and freedom of their parents against Christianity.
shoulders have the Black serpents of wisdom sets down that those
who beg for goods should be ignored and only those of family or
friends be assisted. Help may be given to those who seek to help
themselves or try to help others.
shoulders have the Black serpents of wisdom sets down that Goats
used in ritual practice symbolize the sexual aspect of the
numerical OZ, meaning goat/devil/buck and the night-residing
Bride of Samael, Lilith-Az. Let the Goat be a symbol of thy sexual
awakening.
shoulders have the Black serpents of wisdom sets down that the
practitioners of sorcery may sacrifice their own seed at the shrines
of their Daemon, within the proper configurations and times
according to their own practice.
10. Zohak the Dragon-King, who is the one kissed by Ahriman,
whose shoulders have the Black serpents of wisdom sets down that the
law of the earth and kingship is to conquer and allow no
weakness to stand between your goals. Be strong of Will and
determination and you shall not fail.

The Path of Hesham
291
Life as with initiation moves in a wheel flowing against time itself. This
process cannot be overlooked or cheated; Azrael's81 embrace is always at
hand for every person. As the wheel continues to turn according to time, do
not waste another minute! Seek those mysteries if they speak in your blood;
seek the Crooked Serpent who moves the wheel counter clockwise, invoke the
Gods as they speak through your dreams; though invocation do you become
them and they become you.
It must be understood without misconception the nature of the

Luciferian and Path of the Witches Sabbat. While the Left Hand Path
represents 'individuality', such does not limit one to the strictly
antinomian 'darker' aspects of magick. Rather, a balanced aspect must be
kept in constant development in order for the individual to progress. It is the
process of initiation which indicts Lucifer, Lilith and Cain as the Three of
the Circle, who by blood do awaken our path no matter where it may lead.
The Luciferian Path is of seeking Light but also the union by spiritual
disunion via the mythological Godforms of Shaitan, Lilith, Cain and the
Sabbat Deities of the Left Hand Path.
It was Shaitan who originally was ordered to prostrate before the

common clay of Adam, whom God considered to be perfection. Shaitan was
said to be too proud to prostrate, thus he was cast out of heaven. An alternate
view of Shaitan could be that the first angel, being composed of flame rather
than the light of other angels considered he awakened, that he found a
special aspect of being that was separate from the others. Shaitan who
was originally called Azazel in the Koran, was ordered to bow before the
Adam. The other angels, being composed of light understood not self-
divinity or the spark which separated them from all other things, obeyed.
Azazel refused to bow before man as he being
composed of Fire was greater than the clay of man. As Shaitan was first the
Angel who preached to all others under the Throne of God, he
understood the limitless light of which he derived. He was awakened and
restless, seeking more than what he was. It is within the initiatory
doctrine of the Luciferian and Sabbat Path of which the Clay is awakened by
the Spark of Cain and the Fire of Azazel; it is a spiral of ascension of which
the initiate must master both darkness and light within his or herself.
The aim of the initiate of the Left Hand Path is not to seek death, nor
assist in the destruction of others, it is rather a misunderstood path of
those who seek to become something better than their present state by the
focus of Will - Desire - Belief. This praxis of sorcery is clearly
understood by the essence of this grimoire, which speaks to the initiate by
the art of sigil and written word; the Angelick and Daemonic
Azrael is the Angel of Death, often associated with Azazel, being Shaitan the Adversary.

ensorcelling the reader. By the whispers in twilight, when you are alone
with thy thoughts, they so speak to you - hear their voice so clear in
dreams and seek thy Luciferian Guide, what Aleister Crowley called the
Holy Guardian Angel, the Angelick Watcher within who is your perfected
state. Seek the guide which is both Demon and Angel, listen to your
instincts and with the Will of Shaitan, awaken as a Djinn of Fire!
The work of Yatukan Sorcery and the Yatuk Dinoih is a modern

foundation of ancient currents of lost magical lore. Be it known that this
grimoire and many associated with it present Zoroastrian demons
(Daevas) and inverse concepts, this grimoire and the initiatory stream is
outside of the Zoroastrian religion; thus it is not a part of that doctrine by
any means. Specific invocations and evocations present inverted
Zoroastrian prayers and initiatory doctrines, however they are unified to
cease the restriction of mythological religious deities outside of the
Luciferian Path as it is presented; thus Antinomian in every sense.
Moreover, the Path of Yatus (Daevas and Witchcraft) is one which
embraces the Gods which speak to your blood, to your dreams. It may be a
Bestial Christ, a Daemonic Shadowed Visage or whatever may reside
within your Alphabet and Arcana of Sorcery.
To present the Path of Yatus82 and the Paitisha the context of Ahriman
should be understood. It was R.C. Zaehner83 who makes a detailed study of
the pahlavi words menok and geteh, the 'spiritual' and 'material'
respectively. It is mentioned by Zaehner that those two words derived
from the Avestan words gaethya and mainyu. The Latin root of Mens and the
Mind are therein connected. Gaethya represents life and anything that
lives accordingly. It is within this context that the Zoroastrian
Ahriman is nearly identical to the Islamic Shaitan, both are conne cted and
derived from the imagination and the mind of man. To those seeking to align
themselves with the current of the Yatuk Dinoih and Luciferian Path, it is
suggested that the initiate intimately seek to Know Thyself in accordance to
building a foundation of self-love. Sorcery is dependent on the ability to
integrate the process and art Austin Osman Spare called Will-Desire-
Belief', that is the knowledge and understanding of self possibility, the
passion to achieve it and the assertion of the Will in making that desire
flesh. This is the Witches Pyramid in actuality, the foundation of Primal
Sorcery and the Path of the Cunning.
It must also be perceived that also Ahriman holds a superior

development than his brother/ rival Ohrmazd. This is simple because of the
process and results of his original intent. It was Ahriman who
perceived himself separate from his brother, he sought more thus the
82 Yatuk Dinoih by Michael W. Ford Succubus Publishing 2003

intellect motivated his tearing forth from the womb to be the first born. In
accordance to the laws of nature, Ahriman was a stronger spirit
because of the intellect which initiated self -motivation and then the
ability to tear his way from the womb to present himself to Zurvan. His
father shunned him but he made a powerful case from which his father was
said to grant him something of rule ship for a number of years. It is the
original Light which Ahriman possessed from which he created the daevas
and druj that went forth to the earth. Ahriman was indeed the first
Archon who bore the fire of heaven, and by his creations, the physical
manifestations of the adversary which were serpents, wolves; boars and
other creatures were from the Light of which he hid within.
It may be written that a word which represents the power of the

`perverted' path is Hesham, a word representing the invisible power of the
source and power of darkness. As mentioned by Zaehner, Aristotles
`matter' was invisible; it was a result of the Menok/Mainyu or mind/will.
Hesham is described as the result of the Will of the source of darkness,

this source is Angra Mainyu, or Ahriman = the Mind/Imagination which
manifests within the sorcerer as the prince of darkness. Hesham would be
the path aligned through the willed direction of Paitisha which is
commonly referred to as the 'Left Hand Path'.
Paitisha is an Avestan - Zoroastrian term which means opposition,

counter-action and moving against the natural order. The word being the
same as Paityara is a symbolic personification of Ahriman and the People of
the Lie. The path of the Yatus or Yatuvidah is one of an individual
system of sorcery, where the path is brought unto the practitioner
through his or her own self-focused desire. The conjuration of Paitisha is to
announce a path of antinomian or left hand path dedication. This
selfdetermined focus to the practice of sorcery. This ritual working
announces the sorcerer summoning and controlling the deific power of the
Daeva and Druj, a seeming metamorphosis in the psyche. This is the
Luciferian mind tapping into the abysmal depths of the subconscious, the
gates of Arezura (hell - the place in the North).
The Circle of the Ahrimanic Beast should be placed in the circle and then
surrounded in flour - called Zisurru in Sumerian. The Zisurru and the
Circle of the Ahrimanic Beast is from the symbolism of ancient Persia and
older - yet brought forth in a new flesh to the modern Left Hand Path
practitioner. The image of Tiamat/Azhdeha is the primal force of Chaos,
which the sorcerer seeks to control within and without his/her own being,
that they ride the Dragon of Darkness to the path of self illumination in
Luciferian Light.
294
Michael W. Ford
This in union with the Circle of the Ahrimanic Beast presents the
mastery and balanced focus of the force of Chaos and the
Chthonic/Infernal Realms of the Earth.
Rite and Focus
The Ahrimanic Dragon-Beast Ritual
Being the summoning and controlling of the forces of the earth, the
sorcerer visualizes the beast taking form within the circle, the letters at the
Three Points of the Circle are the deific gathering of the elements of
Ahriman, the cruciform letters spelling out Ahriman. The sorcerer or
witch will then invoke this force within by a symbolic entering of the
triangle and circle, allowing possession of the Prince of Darkness as it
shall be made manifest through the psyche of the practitioner. This ritual
295
is not the surrendering of the individual being, rather the empowerment and
encircling of it - Ahriman being a fleshed out deific power made real by the
Yatuvidah his/herself.
Facing the circle of the Ahrimanic Beast-
"Zazasta Unozono" (Recite Nine Times)

"Rush to me, Daevas and Druj of shadow and blackened earth, those who
nourish the corpse, who guide the insects and slithering things,
messengers of life beyond the veil of death's arms. Come forth from the
depths of the raging dark world of hell, encircle me and manifest in this
Circle. By the Three points of Ahriman, who with Akoman is the Eye in the
Darkness which empowers the isolate soul!
Daevas, Gather now at the head of Arezura - I open now the gates of Hell to
hear my calls - I am thy messenger upon earth, move up and ascend into
this circle!
Angra Mainyu, father of the Daevas of which I am, I evoke thee!

Andar, Shadow of Umbra and Nocturnal Sight, Bring the Blackened Flame!
Savar Lord of Druj and Daeva, I evoke thee forth!
Akatasha Daeva, I summon thee!
Naunghaithya the Daeva, I evoke thee unto this Circle!
Zairich and Taprev I Summon thee by the Ghost Ways - Arise!
Buiti the Daeva, sender of Ahriman's wishes I summon thee! Kasvi
the Daeva, I evoke thee!
Aeshma, Daeva of the Murdering Spear I evoke thee!
As I enter this circle I invoke the Daeva and Druj known as Paitisha, who is
perfect in darkness - the Dragon Within!
"Arimznusta" Recite Three times, each time envisioning darkness forming
into a great beast within the circle.
"Izzadrana" - Vibrate Nine times and enter by imagination or physically

into the circle. If circle is too small, place thy left hand in the circle.
Savar
Through the religion of sorcery84, the Daeva Savar (called also Saurva) is the
leader of demons, the spirit of antinomian separation, the weaving druj of
nightmares and words of power. Savar is a Dev which is the immortal
and separated spirit of Akht-Jadu, the ancient sorcerer - leader of the Yatus,
the nomadic witches emerging from ancient Iran. Saurva
84 Yatuk Dinoih, see glossary.
296
Michael W. Ford
comes in many forms, a serpent and boar like man, whose consciousness has
been made immortal in the shadow of Ahriman, the Blackened Dragon.
Savar may be invoked in the rites of Antinomian dissent and the encircling
of self-possibility. Savar may be summoned to empower the initiatic
direction of your being in the Ahrimanaean Path, thus an envenomed
Daeva. You may invoke Saurva in the Triangle of Invocation, the very meeting
place of Daemons.
(Illustration above - scribed by Azhdeha Lilitu (Elda Isela Ford) on the

night when a former intiate shed the blood of another, an omen
of awakening ..... Savar)
297
"Zazasta Unozono"
"Dev of the Earth and chthonic places, Sarvar, I summon thee, from the lost
places unseen by Man, arise! Take thy spirit into my being, for you shall
drink of the fountain of life again. Know my flesh and soul 0 Daeva of the
Wastlands. Savar 0 encircler of Devs, gathering shadows of spirits, I proclaim
mastery of thy Art by practice itself. Visit me in the Sabbat circle of Dreaming,
wherein I take then the flesh of darkness, clothed in the skin of the serpent,
blessed in the fornication of Az. Let the wolves and serpents gather around us
this night, that by Beast and Bird-Flight shall nothing hold my possibility
back.
By this world of Steel shall those who walk the dreaming planes be given in
averse sovereignty the Daevas of Aeshma, who is of the wounding spear.
We are the Race of Wrath, that by the ways which move against the Sun do we
command our desires to enflesh. Estumarzanaz"
Focus upon the sigil-drawing of Sarvar and call this force within. Seek
communion with Daevas and Druj as your own predilection to dreams,
listen carefully to your desires. The sigillic images contained are meant as
'gates' to which you may seek the Arezura -dwelling of each Daeva.
Chaos
As the Hesham or result of the sorcerers' Will is to create the opportunity for
Order to grow internally and then externally from chaos it is
significant to seek the mastery of the current of which you Work. Chaos is
indeed a useful concept as it is the inconsistent idea of motion or
nondirected energy. Just as the Egyptian manifestation of the Adversary, Set
slew the demon Apep (chaos) he then became the Lord of the Serpent. By his
Will Set mastered the force of disorderly motion. Chaos is an
essential force in both the universe, and within our own lives. It holds
potential, and challenges us as to either create an opportunity for Order to
occur for a moment in time, or to challenge us beyond the borders of the
known, to initiate knowledge. As the Chaos Sorcerer or Yatus
develops his or her instinctual approach to Magick, thus streamlining it,
they become the Hesham, being the darkness (the shadow self) or
Ahriman. This initiates a separation of the psyche (mental isolation) from the
natural order (the world we live in).

A light most brilliant
That rapes the angels from their lofty heights

When nothingness was the kingdom of Zurvan
Did two sons grow in the same womb
One was offi re, the other encompassing time and sleep
It was endless light, called Zurvan

Proclaimed that the first born will manifest his kingdom
And the spirit offi re and darkness heard this

the one called Yaltabaoth, known by many names Come

Yet Ahriman who is known as Samael knew he was first
That by Strength of Will alone he was first
And his brother Ohrmazd came forth and was much like

Zurvan, who saw the form of the Fire Djinn change

From beauty to a lion - headed serpent
Who could change shape and form at Will
Said unto him
You shall have thy kingdom Arimanius
Yet you are to leave this heaven
You shall go forth to dark places
Where you shall create your own kind
Zurvan then brought forth the first woman

She who would take flesh, yet was a dragon still She
who was like Ahriman, dark and serpent like And said,
Here is thy gift, thy bride, called blackness
And by this she is immortal and shall devour
Called AZ, she who is black and ashen
Az went forth before Ahriman to the darkness of Hell

And then made her home
Yet then there were no daevas, just Az to sit and rest in
darkness
She grew restless in her solitude
Ahriman soon was cast from heaven into the darkness of the
abyss
His fallen ones as well, known by many names, among them
Belial And Beelzebub, Astaroth who would become
az both sexes once human flesh was discovered
They fell into the depths of hell, Ahriman awoke shocked

He created the beasts of the earth, the Toad, the Wolf the fly,
The snake and soon fell into a deep slumber

Soon the sleeping Ahriman was encircled and protected by his

It was then Az-Jeh, called Lilith who went forth and found
Ahriman
The Daevas were in awe of her lustrous beauty, she who had
learned Much in her solitude, and said to them, Why does the
Beast-Dragon Not awake, he who is Legion?
Az then went forth and knelt beside Ahriman, and gave him a kiss.
It was this kiss that awakened Ahriman, who stirred with eternal
life and the fire within, of which he was composed, was great
again and before him was his bride, the Great Harlot and
Vampyre Queen
And this great harlot

Who once was the joy of Zurvan
Who was created of darkness and ashes
Now had developed as a druj off ire Who
lived eternally in both night and day
It was Az who then taught and instructed the daevas

Both male and female, how to copulate
And spawn more demons of the earth
And she spread her legs to teach all of them
Who entered her burning core with unnatural lust
And Az-Jeh, called Lilith in the Hebrew lands

Taught other Daevas, the fallen angels How
to create and spawn Dragon-children

Who was innocent and ignorant
And with the Dragon-harlot who was now Lilith

of the Beast who was the union of both the Sun and the
Moon
Ahriman manifested in the Earth the original Fire which fell

from Heaven, he as with Az possessed a spark of Life which he
gave to The clay of man.
Some took of this fire and many were afraid. Ignorance was a
bliss Afforded by many. Adversary became his name on earth,
thus a Daeva Among man and woman alike.
As it was Az who taught the ways of earth to the Fallen Angels,

Thus she brought them the knowledge offl esh

Seek now his way in your flesh, and the clay shall be kissed by the
flames And his son called Cain shall ignite the desire with the

Azhish
The Adversarial Dragon Rite of Zohak
The Invocation of Azi Dahaka
The ritual of Zohak known in the Luciferian Path as Azhish is a rite of
passage, of dedication to the Luciferian current of Persian Sorcery, from the
hidden sects of Persia which practiced so called Black Magic or
Sorcery. When performing the rite, consider it as an opening of the way for
the self to be empowered. To fully understand the transformation
suggested in this rite, consider the foundation of the Work.
The legend of Zohak is an old one, which refers to a King of Persia.

Originally Zohak was taught sorcery by Ahriman, who was disguised.
Over time Ahriman suggested that Zohak will not become a great man
until his father is taken out of the way. Upon becoming King he slowly
began transforming into a practitioner of sorcery by the teachings of
Ahriman. At one point Ahriman traveled to the King in the form of a
youth who was made to be his cook. The youth prepared flesh for Zohak, who
found much strength in such a meal. He wanted to thank the cook and offer
him a reward for such faithful service.
The youth was brought forth unto Zohak, who did not recognize Ahriman in
this disguise. He asked of the cook what he would like, and the youth
answered that he would like to kiss the shoulders of the Great King. The
King granted this wish and the youth kissed his shoulders. Upon
completion the cook was then swallowed upon by the ground. Two black and
venomous serpents sprang from the Kings shoulders. He tried to cut both
and they would just grow again from the wounds.
Ahriman later returned in the disguise of a learned man, who then

suggested that he feed the serpents the brains of men. From that day on,
Zohak began feeding the serpents the brains of two men per day. His
sorcery advanced and he became Ahriman's most powerful daeva.
Zohak's rule became more powerful and it is legend that he survived for
roughly one thousand years. He was counseled by the Daevas and Druj of
Ahriman. Eventually, Zohak became the storm daeva Azi Dahaka.
The symbolism of Zohak may hold relevance to magick in that the initiate
invokes change within his or herself. The twin black serpents represent not
only wisdom, but the power of the illuminated mind. In sexual
symbolism, the Black Serpents represent Samael and Lilith, the power
which creates Baphomet or Abufihamat.
308
Michael W. Ford
It is the rite of encircling the Blackened Serpents from each circle, that
they may coil about the spine, to ascend through the flesh and mutate
your dreaming body. Will your flesh according to what you so desire. This is
indeed the path of dissent against what is outwardly not of your spirit, or the
intent of your being. The sorcerer now becomes the Dragon-man or
Dragon-woman in flesh, the Ahrimanaean path ascended.
The rite itself should be made as a focus of intent and ritual

transcendence, seeking ever to experience and evolve your mind and
body. While practicing the rite, focus your Will on giving form to your Ka or
shadow form, that they may coil as a great dragon around you. This ritual
crystallizes, represents and encompasses the process of initiation and
becoming. As the sorcerer performs the rite again and again, the body of
shadow grows according to the psyche of the magician, thus slowly
deifies and the magician becomes as a God. A very presence may be quite
noticeable if one intends it. Practice this state of presence not only in flesh,
but in the dreaming plane as well.

0 Azahva, Manifest unto this Circle!
0 Kurugh, move and appear!
0 Azivaka, I summon thee!
Ahriman, Dragon of Shadows, Prince of the Hidden Flame, darkness

personified, I summon thee forth into this circle - behold the name,
empower me as King and Serpent - I shall become with thy Kiss!"
Vibrate the Staota of Summoning - Arimznusta
"I summon thee guides of my ensorcelment, as the point of the North-East,

Andar, shadow keeper of the Blackened Light, By the North-West, Az-Jeh,
Harlot and initiator, blooddrinker and fornicating Druj, to me, to me! By the
South, Aeshma, Daeva of the wounding spear, war maker and chaos
bringer, move and attend this circle. My eyes are changing and
transforming in the flames and darkened shadows of Ahriman. 0 Aeshma,
daeva of sorcery and warmaking do attend me, for I align my Will with that
of the serpent Arimanius. My Spirit is an ensorcelled shadow of Fire and
Blackened Light, I hunger for continued existence."
"Envenom me with thy Kiss Ahriman, Akaurasta"
Focus now on the circle itself, envision Ahriman rising up around you,
encircling you. At the height of the ritual, visualize Ahriman looking as a
Beast-Dragon into your eyes. Do not flinch before your father, and
embrace his essence. You can hear the growling of hungry wolves around
you, their forms emerging from the shadows of dark shape of Ahriman.
Feel many serpents slithering around you, caressing your skin as they
scale by your arms and body - they rush around you and back into the
shape of Ahriman.
311
I.-
P'' 'NI
Open yourself now as Ahriman kisses both shoulders, and a striking

pain begins at the base of your spine and slowly moves upwards. You
must imagine the agony and burning pressure as both serpents emerge
from each shoulder. They are almost dragon-like, black and venomous -
hissing and moving slithering tongues around you. At the very moment
the pain turns to a great pleasure, you feel alive and filled with strength
and personal power. Shape now your own shadow to be as Ahriman, Will
this transformation as the serpents slither about. They are of you. You
are of them. There is no separation, you have become as Ahriman, thus
the Work begins.
When the serpents have grown Ahriman sinks back into the earth, and
you hear your name whispered and screeched by many different
disembodied voices. Listen to them with pride, as you have started a
process of becoming Daemon and Daeva, Druj and Serpent.
Remember if you ever seek to dispel these serpents, while waking or

dreaming, they shall grow back. This empowerment and initiation ritual
cannot be undone. Understand that the powers of darkness are far too
real to be toyed with, or misused. The goal of the sorcerer is to master
the darkness within and without, to become the Lord of the Devil by
becoming as this force. Deny that which you have irreversibly called, and
it shall haunt your ever lasting days and nights. They will slowly devour
your in spirit, and there is no exorcism available which shall save your
spirit. A magician steps over the threshold and becomes like the Daeva
and Druj themselves, there is no return. It is a becoming process which
changes you in every way - although slowly within.

The Ritual of Druj - Nasu

Death and Vampyric Rebirth
A solitary possession rite and communion with the Fly Demon Druj
Nasu.
Ahriman speaks unto the Daevas, "Go into the world, and first go to the
sea and discover the secrets of the sea, and go to revive the dead bodies to
stalk the night with us, go to the mountain and shake the mountain, to
awaken the druj-dragon of the earth,
Angra Mainyu answered: 'The man that lies with mankind as man lies with
womankind, or as woman lies with mankind, is the man that is a Daeva; this
one is the man that is a worshipper of the Daevas, and they are as God that
is a male paramour of the Daevas, that is a female
paramour of the Daevas, that is a wife to the Daeva; this is the man that is as
good as a Daeva, that is in his whole being a Daeva; this is the man

'If the Nasu has already been expelled by the corpse-eating dogs, or by the
corpse-eating birds, he shall cleanse his body with gomez and water, and he
shall be clean The Nasu has not been expelled by Corpse-eating dogs, rather
the Nasu is eternal and shall breed shadows of Andar and
Ahriman. Az-Ruha shall have congress above corpses with Ahriman, and their
elixir shall breed life and phantoms in the corpses, a vampyre born.

NOX UMBRA
A Grimoire of Shadow Sorcery
NOX UMBRA is a grimoire. Presented here in the pages of this tome are the
hints from which one may come into the 'knowledge of the circle'. The culture
specifications are undoubtedly varied, from Egyptian to Ancient Persian to
European, however this is wherein one discovers the points or as in Voudon,
'Points chands' or hot spaces from which certain areas of textual
transmissions develop and occur. Cain as the initiator stands in the cold
areas of which many would not visit, wrapping in the cloak of night - it is
here you may spark a fire, sit and listen carefully to his tale.
This path is dangerous, it may prove ones mental downfall. However, it is not
advocating criminal or aggressive behavior. Nox Umbra is a spiritual work,
and should be viewed as such.
320
Michael W. Ford
Primal Sorcery and Vampyrism
Vampyrism is indeed a sinistral (left way or LHP) collection of various

aspects of folklore and initiatory currents in Black Magic and Sorcery.
What enables sorcery to occur in a productive or destructive aspect is the
combination of Will-Desire-Belief. Vampyrism within the current of
modern Witchcraft is a development from the Sabbat - the Infernal
awakening of the sorcerer as a shadow-manifestation of Ahriman, the
Persian- Zoroastrian sorcerous being who was evil, or adversarial chaos
embodied.
Black Magic has long been viewed as a self-centered and selfish area of
study, which often causes obsession and destruction. This, if looked
through a RHP (Right Hand Path) or Path of Disillusion (i.e. Christianity) this
is accurate according to the belief structure. Keep in mind that
Religious pathways such as Christianity hold no Adversarial view point
rather than the extremes of the exact opposite side - which is not a
natural point of study in itself. Can the Bud dhist understand Christian
thinking inherently and objectively? Yes, this path allows psychologically the
ability to perceive and understand other views, while still limiting
material control and destroying the self in the natural order. Could
Christians understand a Buddhist view point? As a majority, NO. Can a
LHP (Left Hand Path) practitioner understand the religious doctrine of
Christianity? Yes, while most of us find subservient behavior abhorrently
disgusting.
Yet Christians still view our Work as the Opposite of what it actually is! A
Luciferian loves life, seeks to strengthen it by self-perception devoid of
unnecessary egotistical thought. The Sethian/Setian understands life is a
great opportunity to Come into Being as something greater. The primal sense
of dissatisfaction was with Lucifer/Azazel from the time of Heaven, having
all the beauty around him was nothing without self-respect and freedom.
The price was painful, and dark. Alas, in this darkness was found a light -
the Black Flame of individual being.
The Vampyre Sorcerer indeed loves life, and the realms of ghosts and
shades, we find nourishment in their tombs and black earth. Yet when we
emerge in the Light of Shaitan in the Noon Tide Sun, we can
appreciate it more. We explore the dreaming Sabbat as wolf and
blackened shadow, as Ahriman the Lord of Darkness - As Demon and
Dragon, yet in the Dawn light we arise and face the beauty of nature.
By the Antinomian path of self-deification (separation of the natural

order) we are able to observe and enjoy the breathtaking world around us
- the forests, the water, the night sky - all of this pleasures many take for
granted. We are awake and nothing can stand in the way of that. We
321
I
begin to understand who and what we are, the possibilities and the
process of changing the natural order in accordance to our Will. This is the
Luciferian and Sethian Flame of being - the Black Flame itself!
There are specifically two methods of practice in Vampyrism as within an

initiatory context - mastery of the self and the Left Hand Path approach of
Witchcraft and Sorcery. The Vampyre - initiate who seeks the union of
Ahriman and the disunion with the natural order works in the darker or
adversarial spirits, what is the same as within Palo Mayombe and Petro
Voodoo currents of sorcery. By entrancing the self by the methods of off-
beat rhythm, the magician calls forth the sinistral aspects of the self, the
Vampyric Famulus (Latin for familiar) whom is the shadow -drinker, the
Loa of the Grave, whom has survived physical death and is not held in the
limitations of flesh alone. The sorcerer by employing the technique of trance
- induction by off-beat drumming creates a vortex of sound from which
invocation and possession may occur. The mark of the Cross -
Road is the displaced consciousness of the sorcerer who becomes a
gateway to Hell (Helan, the meeting place of sorcerers and the dead).
In Luciferian and Sethanic Witchcraft, the current of vampyrism is

explored through the sorcerous aspects of summoning, creating and
controlling shadows and wraiths, all connected by the self. Before
practicing the mentally challenging and dangerous rituals and workings in
this tome, please take some time to explore what you are and how you may
connect with this path. Even for a Luciferian Witch, this is a thorny and
treacherous road to roam. You may have certain visitors attracted by the
gates you may open. Be warned.
A Working of Self-Study
Decorate your temple of Working according to the vampyric path and

how it perceives to you personally. In the middle of this room have a nice
pillow to sit upon. Have either upon the floor a simple table or small
cloth to place a black mirror upon. Have one candle (black) behind this
mirror. Place yourself on the pillow and begin a slow meditation on what you
consider a vampyre spirit to be. Think about each attribute and then think of
yourself in relation to it. Then hold the mirror and gaze into it. Focus and
do not allow your mind to wander. Command the worlds of darkness to
open to you, and then watch yourself transform. Will your flesh and astral
body to change and morph into a vampyric form you hold identity with.
Perceive yourself and remember it. You WILL change in time. If you find
yourself frightened or if other shadow forms touch you, a feeling of
weakness occurs you should banish immediately and consider not
attempting this again.
322
Michael W. Ford
This may be a suggestion of your work in reference to Vampyrism and

Shadow Sorcery, both of the Sabbat and the Sethanic Path of Witchcraft will
strengthen you in the darkened and tomb soiled shroud of Ahriman. Come
now unto his pitch arms and talons, transform in the embrace of the father
and mother of the Blood Moon of Tiamat and Babalon.
323
Ahrimanic Vampyre
The Ahrimanic Vampyre is one who has isolated the psyche,

understanding that we are spiritual beings within flesh. We can thus
control our immediate surrounding world. As we are born in darkness, we
are nourished in the shadows. As we are strengthened in the NoonSun
which is the time of Shaitan, we create darkness and shadow equally.
The Ahrimanic Vampyre seeks the in-between, or NeitherNeither
world of twilight, from which the shades of the dead commune with the
living.
The shadow may be grown, cultivated and manipulated through the Will of
the Ahrimanic Sorcerer, through darkness we expand and strengthen our
consciousness. It is this hidden aspect of sorcery and witchcraft which
breeds the legends of evil concepts, while it is only a hint at the purpose of
the Left Hand Path. This way is devoid of moralistic concepts, thus in the
absolute and in the isolation from it, we are uniquely separate from
all exterior forces, the very essence of Gods and Goddesses.
The Ahrimanic Vampyre is one who separates the psyche from the
natural order and masters the Nightside or Astral Plane within our
physical world which we seek to control from within. The forms in the
Nightside of which we assume (Bat, Wolf, Moth, or a hybrid of each and
others) are the extensions of our Will and Desire.
The Vampyre is a being which has deified itself through the

antinomianian process of Death and Rebirth, one who has passed
through the ancient aspects of Set and Anubis, the Guardians of the
Threshold. The symbol of the Dragon known as Tiamat or Leviathan is
also Ahriman, the coiled beast that is of serpent wisdom. The Dragon has
fueled the myths of Dracula, the Dragon Race from Wallachia. Dracos,
Draconum is the very shadow of the immortal fountain of Life, which the
Vampyre seeks to bask in eternally.
Remember, in Bram Stoker's immortal "Dracula" novel, the Prince of

Vampyres is transformed not by another vampyre, but rather his own
self-initiatory work and Black Magic. Dracula itself was based from two
historical figures, Vlad Dracul, whom was of a family of the Order of the
Dragon, and Elizabeth Bathory, whose family crest depicted three wolf
teeth surrounded by a Dragon (Leviathan, Ahriman).
The history of Bram Stoker's novel Dracula has its own curious
beginnings in associations with folklore and historical figures.
324
Michael W. Ford
Specifically, in Dracula Was a Woman by Raymond T. McN ally, Stoker had

an original manuscript of the nevel which was later deleted, which was
published in 1897. The character Harker traveled from Munich to a isolate
area from which he comes into 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 Yerkes 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.
Symbolically, the sacrifice of the wolf to Ahriman is symbolic only. No

blood of an animal or human should ever be used. The wolves would be
shadow forms created by the sorcerer who is becoming like Ahriman. The use
of blood to call the dead is an old pr actice. The Huns lacerated
themselves to allow their own blood and tears to fall upon their dead.
Blood was used also in by the abbot Guibourg who poured the blood of
young boys on a "living" altar, dedicated to the God Astaroth, living altars
such as Madame de Montespan and Madame de Saint-Pont. Blood and
sacrifice should never be used or employed literally by a sorcerer. One
should imagine or visualize, but to harm another human or animal in
such an act is a vile misrepresentation of Magickal practice and the
sacred nature of living beings.
The Ritual of the Summoning of the Vampyric Familiar is an initiation rite

of exteriorization. While the sorcerer is creating an exterior force from the
interior (the self), this is a process which Austin Spare introduced from his
linage within the Luciferian Mysteries. The magician creates a visual
image of a vampyre shade from which is an exteriorized form of the self,
an elemental of the mind. This is clearly a building point of the Will and an
act of becoming. When binding the vampyre to the self and the skull, the
magician then sleeps with the form in a death posture overnight,
awaking to the mediations upon Shaitan in the Noon -Day Sun. This
aspect reflects the self in opposition, and how a balance is necessary and
healthy. During the sleep the Vampyre Shade of the self would feed from
the body in the death posture.
Requirements -
325
-al
A human skull which would have the top detached (available from
Medical Supply companies), this will be the resting place or nganga of the
vampyre, which would act as a coffin or tomb. Obtain a small amount
from a cemetery of burial ground, which will b e the soil of which the
vampyre would rest. A sigil representing the vampyre and associations
would be created. This may be a sigil of Ahriman or Az, Lilith or Hecate, the
Black Eagle or another such form. The back of the sigil may have printed
the crest/ sigil of Vlad Dracul or Countess Bathory.
One may create a mask of the vampyre, which is associated to the

Ahrimanic Sorcerer as well. When one prepares the skull the sigil should be
placed at bottom, the soil above it and the mask above the soil. When the
ritual of the Vampyre is undertaken the sigil will be consecrated and then
buried beneath the soil layer.
The chamber or Temple should be decorated in the elements and

atmosphere of death and the tomb. The altar should have human and
animal bones across the temple, symbols and decorations of death and the
tomb. The altar should have red and black candles, above the altar the Eye
of Varcolaci and Sigil of Algol.
The sorcerer should have a grave shroud in white, along with the body
painted in a corpse like appearance. Ashes may be used to cover the
body. The altar itself should have centered the skull which will be the
tomb of the vampyre shade. The evocation dagger and anthame should be
upon the altar as well.
The Fetish will house a Greater Servitor or Famulus, the very aspect of the
vampyric essence of being. This Vessel is a tomb for the power of the
Ahrimanic Vampyre, and should be revered as such.
Ritual:
The Summoning of the Vampyre Familiar

The Evocation Dagger should be placed upon the altar, which relevant
instruments of the arte. Approach when the Moon is waxing or full, from
which Lilith may be receptive towards the callings of her children.
Dress yourself in vestments of belief, which are a symbol of your

dedication and mindset to the work itself, black robes, grave shrouds of
masks of the vampyre or Lilith may be worn. The sigil of Saturnus may be
scribed in your own blood on the mask or skull housing the Fetish.

"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, that emerge from the dreaming sleep
of Azrael,
Move now through the manes of the dead, they seek the commune of those in
the warm flesh of the living.
My shadow, as I build, calls forth the famulus whose spirit is the Djinn of the
Noon tide sun, the fire of spirit later withdrawn in midnight honor.
Moon hungering shade of the tomb, I summon thee!
From beneath the city of Chorazin have your rested, yet though I go forth to
the city of shadows, I embrace the darkness within and beyond!
Zrazza, Umpesha Infernum!
By the descending divinity:

Gather around, take forth this skull of man, the primal atavism brought down
by the Nephilimic Tomb of Sah, take now rest, refuge and a power source for
your shadow. Let this be your tomb of rest, gather strength here, nourish
yourselff rom my flesh, as I am the master known as Akhtya
Seker Arimanius, Draconian Shadow, Messanger of Azrael, I form you
Djinn haunter of the desert and forest-

you are but the same, grant this phantom form your deepest
attributes of Vampyric self, be it the grave haunter and spirit of folklore)

Talons of the best, whom shall tap the window of the sleeping, beckoning
their desire

as myself-
Akhtya Seker Arimanius, whom gathers the darkness and emerges in the
Noon-tide Sun, the time sacred of Shaitan the opposer, as well as the
Midnight Sun, the time sacred of Mother Lilith! I give you the Life that I am,
come now into being, familiar of my flesh and spirit, immortal and isolate!
(drop a few drops of your blood into the grave soil)
Disrobe, shrouded and lie within your coffin or grave area created in the
temple, have the skull familiar close to you and meditate until sleep
arrives. Record your occurrences on the dreaming plane.
327
When you wish to work with the Nephilimic Tomb of Sah, perform a
calling unto it at the Noon day tide, which symbolizes the strength of self to
withstand and nourish in the solar force of Saturnus, or Shaitan. Call unto
the Familiar at Twilight as well, embracing the night born shadow form of
the vampyre, which is an extension of your isolate and beautiful mind.
Ritual of the Entrance of the Nephillimic Tomb of

Sah
The Vampyric essence is a form of the shadow of the black magician. The
vampyre itself is a being whom is conscious of its essence of being, as
well as its nightside powers. The sorcerer focuses upon the vampyric
essence through the shades of the dead, and the darkness and shadow is
developed internally. It is visualized outside of the self to present a
means of opposition, which allows the self to later realign this focus point of
the mind.
The magician uses the imagination and Will to visualize and create the
vampyric form accordingly.
In the Full Moon darkness of night, when shades and the manes of the
dead remain close to the earth, approach the tomb of Sah in the honor of the
self, which is the mysteries of the Nephilim and Watchers, who
descended into the Demonium of the Earth, to merge spirit with beast and
human flesh. Wear this mask with intent and pure love, then shall the
secret of the essence be revealed in your Sunless Palace of Night.
Approach the Tomb-
"Gate of Black Earth,

Nephillmic Tomb in the Sunless Palace of Azrail,
Open forth the dreaming fields of Night,
From thy vessel, born of Lilith's Womb
Shall the Vampyre shade awaken
Hekas Vozath Ka-Sath-Ompos

Shu-Seth-Evoi-Zrazza
(By the magick of secret names shall Set strengthen the Shadow Tongue of
the Serpent)
By the Blackened Fire of my Spirit, born in the shadows of the adversary,

shall the Dragon coil in my being!
328
Michael W. Ford
Let the moon be born again in the darkness, from which my desires arise
from the grave
The arcane of my self is great, such is the being of which I am!
Emerge again, awaken from your sleep of Thanatos!"
The Binding of Chains

The Vampyre Rite of Transformation
The sorcerer who has developed the Lesser and Greater Familiar, the
very spirit and shadow of the moon and the sun, shall at one time seek a
permanence of self isolation in the night. The Vampyre is a symbol of
survival beyond flesh, the spirit like Djinn whom has tasted the elixir of
Hecate, the blood of the moon as the formula of transformation. The
wisdom of the serpent in the union of Lilith and Cain, those guardians of the
blood path of the Vampyre.
329
The sorcerous daemon Ahriman is the gateway of shadow knowledge and

possession, that as darkness descends, our spirits merge with the
familiar and fetish, from the Grave Soil shall our great forms of night black
shadows emerge, tasting the umbra - pleasures of dreaming. The shape
shifter is one who in the bed of the death posture, leaving in the body of light
and shadow, may transpire in the freedom of the vampyre shadow, the self in
the primal ecstasy of transformation of ones animal familiars and forms; the
bat, moth, wolf or shadow form.
The Circle design is in Three forms - naturally the number of Hecate,

mother of the path. The circle from which the sorcerer stands is the binding
sigil, representing black magical transformation in the circle to an isolate
consciousness. One smaller circle is of NAS, the Necromantic Shade of
Ahriman, the initiator unto the gates of the dead. The Third is Mitrokht,
being a Vampyric shade of the Voice of command. This is the element of
control the Vampyric essence brings, close to the divinity of the Nephilim,
those of the Watchers who drink the blood of the land.
The vampyric fetish as created by the sorcerer should be made of a

human skull, animal skull or pot. One should retire to the graveyard
which houses spirits which one silently communicates and senses about.
Sleep for an amount of time in the grave (sunken graves are
recommended, as ones body will seemingly sink into the earth with the
houses of the dead; upon waking take several handfuls of grave soil
which will now be your bed of making, as source for rest and from which the
familiar shall reside. Inscribe the Vampyre Fetish with the perfumes of death,
Jasmine or Frankincense, any sent which represents the arte in its
shadowform.
One may choose to also perfume the fetish with ones own favored sent, being
something so closely connected to you that a sense of
crystallization may eventually occur. The fetish should then be painted in the
sorcerer's own blood or a red color the sigils of transformation and
Vampyric Being, including the sigil of binding. The soil may be kept then in
the bottom of the fetish, which upon a parchment ones shadow name (for
instance, Akhtya Seker Arimanius, the present author) in the blood of the
sorcerer, along with the sigil of binding.
Consider the Vampyric Fetish to house the Greater Shadow Famulus,

which is essentially an exteriorization of your own being. One will use the
magickal aspects of obsession and Will - Desire - Belief to set in motion the
essence of self-transformation, the demon emerging in flesh.
The chamber should be adorned in the elements of death, of Vampyric

design with such implements, fetishes and elements of Ahriman, Lilith,
Dracul or any night born ghost or image which relates therein. One
330
Michael W. Ford
should dress in the black robe of passing through shadows, a crimson

lining if possible to indicate ones rebirth in the Bloodied Caul of Lilith.
The Sigil of Binding should be placed upon the altar, as the object of focus.

Michael W. Ford

I ensorcel my being, the arcana of I with the shadows I have created.

I am born of Witch Blood, and hold the secrets of the Grave
I am Vampyre, born again in the bloodied caul of Lilith and Ahriman,
Shadow drinkers who walk the night in any form I so desire.

the world of shadow and twilight embrace.
By the Circle of Mitrokht, which I evoke - Vampyre spirit of the Eye and the

So it is done.
Invocation of the Vampyre Queen Lilith - Az
Lilith is the mother of the Vampyric Myth, as well as the symbol of

fountainhead of the Daemonic Feminine. The Witch Queen is represented as a
partial woman with beast like lower half, owl claws and a hypnotic stare.
Within her caves by the Red Sea, the darkness of the earth, the
gateway of the Demonum she breeds phantoms, Shades and Lilitu,
sexual Daimons which cater to the sorcerers who work in her veil. The
Daemonic Feminine itself is defined as instinct, the knowledge of emotion and
how one may control their deepest desires. This instinct is the
primal aspect of the animals of the earth, how their mind's work, the
intuition, understanding, graciousness and ferociousness when the
animal hunger emerges.
The Vampyric and Daemonic Feminine is the point of intellect which

combines and balances elegance and nobility with predatory instincts, the
beast itself. It is this balance of being which allows self-improvement and
introspection, ultimately to create a Self-Deified and productive God and
Goddess.
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
333
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, published in Vampires, Burial and Death by Paul Barber - "Such
334
Michael W. Ford
an infant is born to a woman who has drunk of impure water mixed with the
saliva of a demon, or to a woman who, having gone out in the night, her head
bare, met a demon which gave her a red cap (coiffe) like his
own, which cap causes the child to be born with a caul".
In an initiatory context which implies the connection of folklore with

inspired magical practice, the Caul introduced in Ritual practice (by a
blood coloured cloth, stained with menstrual blood or otherwise) is the
Mark of Lilith and Cain, born unto the night within the mysteries of
Vampyrism.
Dress in vestments of the moon of the color of the Red Serpent, a blood red
robe and a mask of the dead (in the form of a Skull, the bare
mysteries which time does not hide nor tell)
The Magister of the Rite recites-
"Behold, the Vampyre Queen awakens before me, she whose skull holds the
mystery of the grave.
From your soul comes many serpents, those who breed the forms of
Dragons, your secret name is given to those of the Corpse Embrace, the
blackened soil announces your children's birth. Behold, the Skull cap is
filled with the elixir of life.
(Lilith takes in hand the skull cap)

Let me drink of this ecstasy, the lifeblood from those who walk the night. Let
my knowledge be revealed to those who seek my knowledge, open thyself to
the Daemonum within!
(LILITH-Magistra Drinks of the elixir from the skull cap, even if red in
color, allowing some of it to cover her face)
(Lilith now looks unto the hooded ones, those who may be present)
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 on the walls of the
Sunless Palace, scribe your name in the black book of the dead, with the
witchblood of your veins, you are all my children, of Lilith-Hecate, your father
is Ahriman, Lord of Phantoms and Darkness.
(Drink of the elixir - The skull bowl is passed to each. If only the
Magistra and Magister of the Rite are present, then just the Magister
shall drink of simulate if fake (ie theatrical) blood is used.
(Lilith - Magistra now robes herself in Red)
335
I now wear the caul of the witchborn, as I am blood and death, but also
life, emergence and strength!
(Lilith takes forth the Skull or fetish mask and faces the magister)
Behold, my tomb of black earth, my mask of shadow and death. You shall all
seek my consort Ahriman and Azrael, whom shall walk you forth into shadow.
(Coven members or Magister shall recite)
We shall walk this path through you Queen of Succubi, Mother Lilith, and
through the shadows of Azrael shall we emerge as the Seven - Headed
Dragon, through the Opposer shall this manifest!
Behold, the Light which shines in the darkness, the blackened fire of
being! The Gift of Set itself!
AZOTHOZ NOX BARATHRUM!
(Lilith recites)
Taste the kiss of the dead and again in dreams shall my wisdom arise
from the grave, cast your spirits to the grave and awaken again reborn!
(Each individual kisses the skull, envisioning the necromantic embrace of

the Sabbat Queen and Azrael)
Banish by performing the Calling of the Four Quarters of the Triple

Hermetic Circle.
Seker - Lord of the Tomb

(Solitary self initiation)
Seker is a 'developed' and 'inspired' Vampyre archetype of ancient Egypt,

whom resided as the Lord of the Tombs in Memphis. Seker is represented as a
mummy - like corpse figure, wearing a shroud, ashen white and
gray, black or crimson eyes and various wolf and jackal like hairs upon its
palms and body. The face is that of a long dead corpse, streaked with blood
red sigils of demonic awakening, Saturnus and other relevant
symbols.
Seker was known to often appear with the mask of a predatory hawk,
thus his servitors wear this black and gold mask. Seker is the Lord of the
Grave, those who taste the ecstasy of Azrael and Lilith, and the ecstasies of
the dead. Anubis is the gateway to Seker through Azrael and Lilith.
336
Michael W. Ford
The wisdom of Seker is the Vampyric Solitude, the paths of isolation from
which the sorcerer surrounds his or herself with images of death, the
shades of the dead itself. Listen closely and hear the musick of the dead itself.
Upon the altar, the Sigil of Seker, being the illustration provided - the
two hawk heads and the skull.
The magician should fast the day of the ritual.
The sorcerer should dress in a shroud of the grave, a coffin or casket like box
from which the individual shall lie within. Soil from a graveyard of which you
have rested in should be surrounding you.
337
P'
The calling of the Four Quarters of the Triple Hermetic Circle should be
formulated, from which the magician lies within the casket and
meditates upon his own death and lifeforce therein. A great blackend fire
should emerge in his eyes, from which he realizes that his immortal
essence is beyond this flesh, but is manifested and displayed in the
current body he exists in. He should then think of his deep desires, fears,
strengths and core essence of self. He then envisions a sudden death,
everything his is or was flashing before his eyes. Replaying now, as he is
beyond the grave, isolate and alone, he envisions his very blackened
flame, the essential self. The darkness of the tomb and the conscious mind
which grows and creates within it.
Seker, emerges illuminated with the black flame and then rises from the
tomb.
"From the darkness of the tomb I awaken, I still live beyond the shadow! As I
have dwelt in the Necromantic Twilight I become master of the shades of Sah,
do attend me greater and lesser famulus of the quarters, embrace my essence
-
ZOTHOZA UNPU SET HEH!
I am enthroned in the depths, of utter blackness and night - I am death and

resurrection. The one who drinks of the Heart, whom is aligned with Set-
heh. I drink of the heat and feed upon the soul's blood. My role is the
Guardian of Darkness!
My sight is clear in the darkness, and I taste the heartblood of man and
woman, I am awakened in my self and by the shadow tongue -
Hekas, Noastra, Zarru!
Zazas Zazas Nasatanada Zazas!
Focus upon the arcane of self and the temple of which you create.
Banish and close the ritual.
A Ritual of Necromancy
Purpose - To align oneself with the death energy or "Emerald Flame" of

Azrail/Azrael, the Angel of Death and Hecate - the Witch Queen of the
Underworld/ Dead/ Crossroads.
This ritual was designed as a means of silent communication with the
ancestral dead and the Shades of the Fields of Necromance.
Undertaken - October 28th, 2002 12Pm Noon. Coven members involved-

Myself, Lilitu Azhdeha and Adrian Dagon. Weather- Cloudy, stormy, very
damp and gray. Algol Temple or chamber is decorated in the Necromantic
338
Michael W. Ford
and Vampyric elements attributed to the shadow aspects of Sah, the

Tomb of the Hunter (Nephilim).
Instruments - Human skull, rib bones (Baciph Ashara), human bone

necklace in ashes, Evocation Dagger, Thigh Bone Trumpet (Kangling). Circle
placed in middle of room, surrounded with the implements of
death and Azrail. Incense - Frankinsense, Necromancy Oil. The main
instrument of which the fetish would be consecrated further is the
horned Brazilian mask of Belial and Cain. I call it such as it was made from a
large bull/cow skull, clayed formed a demon visage, five horns which make an
averse pentagram, a third eye and teeth made of crystals. At the top of the
fetish there is a place for a large machete to be held,
from which the blade is a bit rusty - held in by a back of snake skin.
339
PP'
This has been an ongoing work to awaken the spirit within, a join in
union with a new famulus bound within.
Holding the Kangling, facing the West I called -
"I approach the West Gate, unto the winds off unerals of past and to come, I
Summon Forth Azrael, the Angel of Death who grants the sight of beyond, the
veil is thin! I Summon thee Goddess of the Crossroads, who walks
with the howling of Wolves, come forth Hecate".
Phenomena and record - Became too dark to write as I worked through the
ritual, two candles burned in the chamber which was sufficient light. Rain
poured as I recited.
Holding Evocation Dagger -
"Zrazza, Zrazza, Usha Nicht, Zrazza, Umpeshu"
"From the grave I return, Midnight and Midday, from the Black Earth I
grow stronger. As the wings of the bat do I fly in spirit through the twilight
dreams of others, with the eyes of the Owl do I see, with the limbs of the Wolf
do I run. I summon forth the dead from their gray tombs and
shadows, Hekas, Hekas, Hekas Hecate!"
"Encircle me in your shadows ashen, and those within this circle blessed
under the cloak of Azrael!"
340
Michael W. Ford
"I ensorcell the spirits of the ancestral dead, those who hasten to the circle
chant of the Sabbat, come forth, Mighty Dead arise... We of Vampyric Birth do
acknowledge thee!
The veil is thin, enter this plane of waking and dreaming!"
"I, Akhtya Seker Arimanius:-

Call forth from the grave that which walks the dream lands haunting and
draining those sleeping and unawake. By my oath, signed in blood from which
the sorcerous art is pledged, I do call the attendant of this mask and my own
famulus which shall reside within this very object of arte. By the sign of X do I
mark thee - eyes which see beyond the veil, mouth of
crystals and essence storing objects, horns off ive which form the
Pentagram of the Fallen Seraphs, infernal flesh formed in fire, serpent skin of
stealth and wisdom, blade of Azrail's sunless domain, the very
pleasures of the Necromance - I summon thee unto this vessel, rest and grow
strong within it, be as with my Temple to hunt, protect and make
flesh to that which I so desire."
"So it is done!"
Phenomena - Room grew colder, a shadow seemed to envelope us. Adrian was
very happy, pointing at the skull, we then each kissed the skull in the honor
of the dead, to the honor of Lilith/ Hecate and Azrail. The
mask/ Daemon Fetish was placed back upon the wall near the altar
mirror.
Closed the circle and the ritual was complete.
Encircling the Shadow

A Visualization of the Vampyric Essence of Being
Let the sorcerer who has tasted the shadows of Ahriman and Lilith then
allow the aspect of being to manifest. He who would acknowledge the very
venom of the serpent who initiate the spirit beyond the veil of Azrail come
forth, from a tomb and encircle his or her very being in the
ancestral shades and famulus of the Necromance, the black essence of our
being, sacred unto Set.
The sorcerer may draw a circle boundary of flour, not to symbolize

protection, but to symbolize the Ourobourus bound Circle of Bei ng, our
shadows which would grow in the darkness of night. The sorcerer would
visualize a great fire growing, which is sparked from the essence of the Black
Flame itself, that all exists of the being. One first gains self-
initiation by entering within the Circle of Leviathan, but the awakening
comes from being within the dragon itself.
341
--.1111111
A Ritual of Lycanthropy
Part One
When one prepares for the Nocturnal essence of transformation, a

decision to explore the bestial aspects of the mind may be considered.
The Werewolf since medieval times (and earlier) is a most feared demonic
essence, known as the Lord of the Forest. The atavistic elementals within our
own flesh is a gateway of transformation, the ecstasies contained therein and
our own means of developing and becoming an illuminated (hence Black
Flame) Promethean being. Just as we sip at the Golden
Chalice of the Luciferian Sabbat, the Sunlight essence of the Fallen
Seraph, the Fire Djinn who holds the flame of self-perception, we to sip from
the Skull-Cup of the Dead, of Hecate.
Noctulia - Hecate is the Goddess robed in black, perched upon her

shoulder a Raven. She appears before the circle, as the encirclement of our
being, the Gate-Keeper of the realms of the GhostRoads and the Dead. It is
Noctulia - Hecate (named also LILITH) whom we sing hymns of the night
unto.
The Ritual of Lycanthropy is a two part process. The first involves the
making of a belt of symbolic wolf skin, and possibly obtaining a wolf, dog or
coyote skull (if you had a loyal familiar as a dog which had passed, this is
perhaps a wonderful way to honor it.) The altar should be
decorated in the Sigils of the Beast, the sign of Hecate. The Evocation
Dagger should also be upon the altar, with the coyote or dog skull in the
center.
The individual seeking the darkness of the werewolf must create his or her
own wolf belt. This is symbolic of the belt given to the initiate by the Devil,
and is made of wolf skin. In modern times, wolves are a precious and
beautiful animal, which should be respected. A replacement wolf belt may be
made from leather, with sigils scribed into it which hold the
sigillic wisdom of the beast. If one if fortunate enough, a belt buckle with the
image of the Devil may prove stimulating to the imagination. Stain your belt
black as night, perfume it with the oils of Saturn, Hecate and the Moon.
A mask may be made and consecrated for this process of transformation,

inscribed with the sigils of the beast. Noctulia - Hecate stands before those
who work in the shadow of the devil, opposition which creates
change.
342
Michael W. Ford
My own work began with a belt made of leather, I had inscribed pertinent
parts of the Sigillic Alphabet, along with rubbing the Oils of Saturn, Luna and
Hecate within it. The belt buckle was the Head of the Devil, as Iblis the
Opposer.
ONE
The first night, bath yourself and then anoint your body with the
perfumes of Hecate and Saturn, cover yourself in black and hold forth a
hooded robe sacred for this operation.
As you enter the circle, which may be under the Dark Moon (new moon),
behold the skull which has been inscribed with the sigils of Belial and
Marchosias. You're your Temple area with an X, representing the
Crossroads. Unto those who come to the Crossroads (known also as the
Ghostroads) are inbetween the sun and the moon, from the living and the
dead.
Face the Altar -
"Sekah, Sekah, Zrazza Umpesha"
"By the Hidden Light known under the Black Sun,

By the prayers whispered in silence unto the blood dripping moon
I summon forth the Adversary, Noctulia - Hecate, Goddess before me this
night.
I call forth my Lord, the Devil, whom is a shadow of my self, just as I,
isolate and individual. Between the Dual Essence of Azoth, from which the
Toad awaits, shall the secret gates be opened!"
"I call upon thee, Satandar and Asentacer, I summon thee forth Phantom of
Darkness, I call forth the spirit of the werewolf, beast of darkness and
shadow.. Send now the gray shape which makes men tremble.. Sah Zrizzu usha
bapesta zrazza"
Take the wolf/ dog skull and use the teeth to mark the left breast with the
mark of the werewolf.
"I mark myself with the Kiss of the Devil, that I may transform in spirit
unto the Phantom shade of the night, I shall become the wolf!"
Take now the Belt, and face the altar -
"From the Devil shall this belt be given, and I shall wear with pride. While the
skin of the wolf and the beast is upon me, I acknowledge then that I am of
Seraph Blood, and I am of Luciferian Birth. I am both Light and
Darkness, the essence of the Opposer within. Witness this rite of passage
343
Noctulia - Hecate and Lucifer, may the Devil grant me the gates of hell to
open forth unto my form of the Wolf..by the Full Moon shall transformation be
complete!"
Close circle.
Two -
On the Eve of the Full Moon prepare your chamber for the actual
transformation into the werewolf shape. This form will be with you as you
sleep and when you so seek, shall the shade flesh be worn to
transverse the dreaming plane.
Have the Devil's Belt upon the altar, with the skull of the wolf. You shall
come forth oiled in previous scents of Hecate and Saturn.
"Unparalleled Phantom of Darkness, I come forth to the crossroads this

night. With the blessing of Noctulia - Hecate and Ahriman I do manifest
within my Temple, my being the Werewolf spirit! Just as I am Vampyre my
form shall change in the night to the mighty shade of the beast. I shall
assume darkness in the flesh, tonight I shall become!"
Put now the mask of transformation and the wolf belt.

Envision and imagine now your form changing... gray hair covering your
body, your eyes changing to white and then to a predatory yellow or black,
your teeth lengthening into sharp and cruel canines, your nails growing
long and sharp, your fingers becoming bone thin, your face distorts and
elongates into a snout, you grow taller, your flesh
underneath the fur is corpse - gray...you stand on two legs, the in-
between form of a human - wolf... feel this form, mold your shadow into this
shape, that in the dreaming hours when you desire, you may take this form
and go forth unto the plane of the Ghost roads.
"I walk in the twilight, I am the beast noble and strong, In this the Wolf's skin
I am shadow and darkness..I am as Ahriman, the form of the abyss! Moyset,
Herren come forth unto my being, for we are as one!"
"Sah umpesha Zrazza masehaka Hekas!"
So it is done.
The Ritual of the Entering of Black Eden, A

Vampyric Samhain Ritual of Becoming
344
Michael W. Ford
"As the circle is cast, we who partake of the Varcolac Cultus of the Undead
shall become something beyond, who shall embrace the animals of the
earth as our sacred companions, whom in the twilight of dreaming shall
assume forms which please us, and taste the Elixir of the Skull - Cup of Az,
Dragon Goddess of the Abyss"
"I summon thee by the many names of thy calling - Drakul, Lamiae,
Empusae, Lilitu, Naamah, Nachtzehrer, from the many names of your
Palace in the corpse roads, whom approaches with the howling of wolves,
who gathers the shades from the tombs, Kali, whom dances upon the
corpses of false kings and resides in the cremation grounds, I summon thee!!"
"By the mark of Cain, given by Apethiui, the Horned Initiator of the circle, I
summon your presence, blackened horseman who rides upon the ghost -
ways speaking with the dead."
"By the Owl, sacred unto Noctulia - Hekate, known in this circle as Lilitu,
ghost and phantom keeper, who shall gather the manes from the grave, fly
now unto this circle."
"By the Vulture, who shall feast upon the corpse of those aspects I care not
to remain as myself, I shall become like to understand the feast of the
dumb supper. In dreaming we shall commune."
"I seek the grave and my mortal death, with the shroud I wrap my body in
shall be blessed with the Kiss of the Serpent Queen, the black eyed
Goddess who wakes me from this sleep - Apethiui, Horned Black One of the
Infernal Sabbat, unveil the cloak of shades to seek the knowledge of your
consort, Kali, whom holds the skull cup of blood, that of her children given
unto the offering of death in life. I drink now the Elixir of Undeath!"
"0' Vampyric King and Queen of the Circle, who has tasted the blood from the
fountain of God, 0' Shade of Ahriman, Toad - Worn Skin emerging from the
Sepulcher, 0' hundred armed Goddess of the Ashen Cremation
grounds, I summon thee forth, gather now the manes of our many forms -
We shall taste the blood of the night!"
"0' Blood drinking whore, whom by the essence from the Crossroads, who has
survived beyond the grave, take now your throne upon the great
Dragon Arimanius, offer unto me the Chalice of Life, that which shall
sustain our flesh and spirit - AZ, I summon thee!"
"0' Night haunting consort of the Serpents of the Abyss, whom takes the form
of Owls and beasts, Lilitu, Witch Queen of the Caul, the Mark of Cain
- Lilitu - Bless this Grave Shroud - Walk with me in dreams!"
345
"I seek now to enter Black Eden, as the form of Belial, Wolf - Cloaked and Bat
- Winged. In the Phantom Dream shall I arise from the Blackened
Earth of the tomb, By the in-between of Life and Death, I have come into
Being!"
"Zrazza Usha Umpestu Zrazza"
"I pledge myself to the Vampyric Path, that which shall rely upon my
strength of spirit and Luciferian Being, I behold myself as both God and
Goddess, Lover and Devouress. As I say these words I write the book of my
incantations, from which those of the path may summon me unto a conclave
of dreaming. Hearken my voice from the grave and remember always - I
have become unto the Ghost Light of Azrail."
Consider the Ritual of Entering Black Eden as a point of determined

direction, or Willed Becoming. The Vampyric shroud is a symbol of
binding one to the earth in the unnatural direction, the very Willed focus of
the Left Hand Path. In the closing reference of the self in identification with
both God and Goddess, Lover and Devouress, this is acknowledging the
Daemonic Feminine as a strong and creative part of self. We who awake
to this path are but children of Lilith, thus by identifying and
selfacknowledging this point will bless the self upon a determined journey of
success.
The Caves of Lilitu

-A Bestial Rite of Empowerment-
The foundation for this working is in the Zoharic myths of Hebrew origin.
The K'lifah (called Husks of Evil) is from which Lilith emerges from.
Consider also the realm of husks or shells, the Qlippoth, the place of
demons. The legends of Lilith portray her as having the body of a
beautiful woman from head to navel, and below she is flaming fire. This is
also comparable to Lilith as having the continence of beautiful maiden, and
below the navel being as a beast with owl claws for feet. Babalon, the
Enochian Goddess and reappearing as the Whore who rides the Beast in the
Bible, is revealed as Lilith the Goddess of Fire and Beasts.
It is Barbara Koltuv, Ph.D. who suggests that the knowledge of Lilith is

necessary for strengthening man's ego, the shadow of the self. It is Lilith
who inspires sexual dreams, creative inspiration and sensuality. The
Daemonic Feminine is therefore essential to the development of man and
woman. It is also the gateway to the Sabbat - the dreaming conclave of the
Luciferian (Empyrean, of the Light) and Infernal.
346
Michael W. Ford
Lilith in her dark and fiery aspect is one part of the adversary, the
opposing force which initiates through antinomianism and
selfdeification. In a work which pre-dates the Zohar, it is suggested that
Lilith and Samael were born by an emanation beneath the throne of God.
Their shape was an androgynous being, double-faced and thus revealed as a
part of the adversary (the opposer, Shaitan). Samael, in Hebrew legend
has Twelve Wings, which integrates Azazel (the Djinn of Fire, Shaitan)
and Samael as Lucifer, the force related to the Noon-tide Sun. Samael is
thus the Devil, one half of the adversary and the creative/ solar force of the
Sun. Lilith joined with Samael through Leviathan, the Great Dragon.
Ashmodai was said to be another mate of Lilith, whom was said in some
Hebrew legends to be two aspects of the same Goddess. The son of Lilith
and Ashmodai was called Sariel, the Sword of Ashmodai. His face flames
with fire. Sariel had kept a sealed book of secrets, a grimoire with words of
power.
The Zohar itself explains that Lilith is nourished by the water (ocean) and the
South wind spreads her influence, from which places her as the Queen
of Beasts. They (the Beasts) are found chanting to her in the dark of night.
Lilith went forth to the desert to become the Queen of Zemargad (the desert
domain), she then joined with Samael and gave birth to thousands of
Liliam, Lilitu, the demon succubi who copulate with the shadow of man
and woman. It was when Lilith entered the Desert and began creating
demons in the caves by the Red Sea that her bestial aspect and fiery
darkness of spirit emerged and grew in its coming into being. She
practiced along with her children the Lilitu, sorcery and seduction, and
with the sexual fluids created more succubi and demonic forms. Lilith in
this aspect is our teacher and initiator of Magick and Sorcery, that by
using sexual fluids and charging/consecrating talismans, we may
create servitors and familiars.
347
Pr"
The Son of Samael and Lilith is Cain, the Lord of Horsemen (those who
work sorcerous arts and whom spirits ride). An Alchemical working is the
creation of Baphomet, or abu-fi-hamat, the Black head of Wisdom. This is a
state of coming into being, of whien the torch of wisdom (the Black Flame)
is illuminated and revealed within. It is a rite of passage, of when the
Baphometic Spirit of Fire becomes separate from the natural order. Thus
the Ritual of Infernal Union is a Black Magick working of self -
empowerment and the beginning process of creating Baphomet, or Cain the
Lord of Horsemen in the Sethanic/Luciferian Witchcraft Current.
The work of Babalon and Lilith within an initiatory aspect is made

through the alignment with the spirit of Lilith, Babalon and her children
who would be your kin. By summoning and absorbing their knowledge and
impulses, we become closer to Her. In Raphael Patai's "The Hebrew
348
Michael W. Ford
Goddess" Lilith is described as wearing jewelry and having red flaming

hair. She is dressed in Scarlet and wearing thirty -nine ornaments. She
seduces man and fornicates with him, finally arising presenting the
demonic and beastlike essence, robed in garments of flaming fire, kills and
takes his soul to Gehenna. Lilith is the tester of the path, she who would
confront the weakest aspects of the human soul. Those who would not be as
Set and Babalon would then be devoured and tossed into the Hell of the
Natural Order.
Suggested Reading:
Barbara Koltuv, Ph.D "The Book of Lilith", Nicolas-Hays, Inc. 1986
Raphael Patai - Gates to the Old City, New York, Avon 1980
The Temple itself should be adorned in the decorations of the sabbat and
reflective of the aesthetic concept of the daemonic feminine. A black
mirror should be placed on the altar - this shall be the gateway from
which you shall go forth and they shall come unto you. This is a ritual
designed for the children of witch blood, therefore Kin of the succubi and
spirits of the Qlippothic realms of wolf and vampire, shade and phantom.
You may create a circle from which the spirits shall meet with you, or you
may stay near a sleeping place for after the ritual.
The Rite of the Lilitu

-A Bestial Ritual of Empowerment-
Facing the black mirror -

"O' friend and companion of the Night, thou who rejoicest in the baying of
dogs and spilt blood who wanderest in the midst of shades among the tombs,
who longest for blood and bringest terror to mortals, Gorgo, Mormo,
Thousand Faced Moon, I open the Gates to thy realm!" (-Inspired by H.P.
Lovecraft)
"Lilith, mother of Vampyres, Mother of Harlots - patron of shades and the

altar of the Infernal Sabbat - I summon thee!"
"Vultures of the Black Earth, eaters of the dead, Allow me entry into the
realm of twilight from which I shall become as my mother, Lilith"
349
Focus now on the mantra of LIL-KA-LITU, recite slowly and build with
repetitive vibrations, taking a quick and steady breath inbetween
mantra breaks. Allow your mind to focus only on the Lility and Succubi, not
as a beautiful woman but beast - woman like, a vampyric tomb haunter
who spits blood and sexual fluid. It is the Lilitu who sip of the infernal
menstrual blood of Lilith - Babalon, our Patron Witch Mother and initiator
of the path of the Red Caul-stain of childbirth.
Focus this mantra as you move through the Black Mirror, noticing a
great cave filled with moss and damp walls. Hear the musick of the
succubi, strange and distant flutes and the rattling and rhythm of drums and
bones. You enter a room which has pools of blood, before you stands a Lilitu-
succubi.
350
Michael W. Ford
Envision the succubi as clawed serpent-like demoness, a face strangely

beautiful yet with black eyes and teeth that are beast like. Her lower
body is beast like as well, long and thick gray wolf like hairs with bird
talons as feet. Her palms and arms are covered in this hair as well, with
one hand holding a skull from which she uses to hold the blood of the
pool of which she resides by. The pool itself is filled with blood. As you
look at the blood, you notice the reflection of your form as Her and she as
You. She whispers to you in hissing tones - "Her passion, Her lust, we drink
and bathe in Her fornications"...
The tongue of this daemon is a snake like, slithering and black in and out
of her pale and course mouth. As you face her, staring into her black eyes
you both become as one. She enters you and as the emotions start flowing
into one meditate on this coming into being.
Feel her ecstasy, the animal hunger and predatory instincts. Keep this
feeling close, and when you emerge from the rite, record your emotions and
thoughts.
When you are complete in your exploration of this cave, banish and close the
rite. Keep a journal of this working and what you learned about
yourself by it. This shadow form is but of you, thus you should seek a
regular communion with such spirits.
Prayer of Akhtya
Purpose of Ritual-
To achieve Aethyric Communication, inspiration and self-initiation
through the anthropomorphic assumption 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 on the path of Ahriman in ancient
Persia. Called Yatuvidah/Yatukan/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. While there is no direct reference made to
correlate the actual practices of these tribes of ancient Iran, 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.
351
352
Michael W. Ford
The ideal mind set of this ritual and any in the Yatuk Dinoih is one
working with the most primordial forces of the earth. The Daevas or
Demons of the Yatuk Dinoih are 'shades' of Ahriman, which may be
summoned and invoked and then absorbed and communicated within a
dreaming gnosis. Imagination, not only being Shaitan/Iblis as described by
some areas of Sufism, is the gateway to sorcerous art. The following
working is a designed, inspired working to Ahriman, through the
shadows encircled by Akhtya, the sorcerer mentioned in the MADIGAN-i-
FRYANO.
If utilized, they can be made manifest through the process of Will-Desire-

Belief, thus inspiring and producing inner change and development.
Akhtya is considered an ancient sorcerer, by immortal essence does this
spirit remain, and upon earth the vessel of Ahriman is Akhtya the
enfleshed Wizard of the Left Hand Path.
Akhtya is probably most historically accurate as a leader of a nomadic

tribe who practiced sorcery or magick outside of the Zoroastrian religion.
Instruments and Preparation
Create in black cloth a circle, painted in white the triangle - or a circle with
your designed 21 letters of the Sacred Alphabet of Desire. In front of the
circle (facing North) a black candle (face this direction while reciting -
in lore North is the location of the Gates of Hell-Arezura, in Egyptian lore
North is the direction of Set) and in the South a White Candle. You may
also only have the cardinal points of the circle marked with a letter of
your alphabet - only a total of 4 being scribed on the circle.
RITE
In the Night, at Midnight Reside in the Circle of Self and face the North-
"By the Oath against the dawn, by darkness and the Daevas who sign
hymns of the Blackened Sun, encircle me!
Ahriman, Arimanius, Witch - initiator, Daemonic Seraph,

Akht-Jadu, Kabed-us-spae, who is the offspring of darkness, whose words
weave the webs of Serpents, of Druj and the ecstasy of the Daevodata
Facing the South and the White Candle -
"I initiate myself on the Serpent's hidden path I

awaken to the shadows of Ahriman
I am embraced by the cold and fiery embrace of AZ In
the Darkness I am born, of the Vampyres Kiss
In the Light of Dawn I emerge - Awake in the Flame of the Dragon - Djinn SO
IT IS DONE!
354
Michael W. Ford
The Gates of Arezura
This is a ritual from which the initiate opens the gates of hell, that is the
meeting place of sorcerers and witches - those who travel into the
darkness and flame of the Sabbat. The Gates of Arezura is the initiatory
point of which "I" is revealed and may become. You will realize your
goals, your potentials and weaknesses to emerge to one who is becoming as
Ahriman.
As Ahriman is a form of the Adversary in a primal sense, the darkness of

being is to be explored and perceived as an extension of self. The aspect of
Ahriman is as half-beast, werewolf type vampyre from. Ahriman is a spirit
of darkness, whom resides in the depths of the subconscious - the Gates of
Arezura. One should focus on encircling the self in these shadows,
which are revealed by the Work itself. The essence of Yatus/Yatuk
is the mysteries of sorcery within the self, the keys to the spirit of man.
One works this type of considered Dangerous Black Magick as the self-
transformation through the image of the Adversary. Akhtya is the sorcerer
on earth who drinks of the graal of Ahriman and Az, serpent and wolf. This
inversion leads to the strengthening of self under the activity of encircling
belief into tangible form.
One should prepare for the ritual of Arezura by a deep introspection,

becoming aware of what you wish to achieve and become. You master the self
through the entry and exploration of the Gates of Hell - it is also the
meeting place of sorcerers, witches and Daevas (demons) of the fiery
darkness. It is where Dreams become Flesh.
THE INVOCATION - Facing the North, the direction of Arezura-
I summon thee, Gateway of Arezura - that you shall open forth to meHail
unto thee Ahriman, Lord of Flame and Shadow
Dweller in the dark places of the Earth
Lord and Creator of Wolves, serpents and toads...
As the Night comes forth, you shall attend through me..
I open these gates as the gathering place of the dream,
That in 8 nights shall I become in Shadow the reflection of the 8 Midday
journeys to the Sun-
That the Bornless Fire exists in the Eyes of those who walk this path
Ahriman, Arimanius - Acsend through me!
You, summoned unto me - wolf shadow, flyer of night -
I am in flesh Akhtya, encircling my being in the sacred letters of
YatukDinoih
Open now the gates of Arezura and behold the flames of the Djinn, our
creative fire of becoming... by the ancient words of Power-
355
Zazas, Zazas Nasatanada Zazas!
ENCIRCLING THE SPIRIT - ENTERING THE GATES
I summon thee, behold and hail thee - VIZARESH, Guardian of the Gates -
Those who have recognized the sacred flame of my being - I enter these gates
unto the kingdom of shadow and sorcerous knowledge.
In the name of Ahriman, I do encircle my being - against the Sun, Against the
Moon do I walk. In opposition to Order - by this ecstasy do I bask in Chaos -
Mummu - Algol - To create Order I reside in the Eye of Darkness I summon
and bind thee - shades of Ahriman..Encircle me!
AZI-DAHAKA - Storm Demon, King with twin Serpents unto your shoulders
- whom Ahriman hath Kissed and Wisdom emerges - Serpent of Three
Heads, Eyes of Hekate, come forth. Those who summon against me will only
strengthen me!
ANDAR- Guardian of the Black Flame, I summon thee! Wraith of the Void of
Arezura - TO ME - TO ME!
TAROMAT - Spirit of Rebellion come forth unto me! TO ME! TO ME!

taste thy blades of burning metal in dreams!
KUNDAK - Flying Nightmare come forth unto me!
As you enter the gates, envision each demon and what they represent to you.
The Gates of Arezura is a mirror of yourself, a new level of coming into
being. You have passed the hidden place, a new initiation is
presented to you. Drink from this cup of Serpent wisdom.
INDWELLING
Take this time to ponder and perceive yourself in the following-
What makes me different, independent and individual?

What do I like about myself?
What are my weaknesses and how may I overcome them?
What is the essential "I"?
How may I develop my "Immortal Essence"?
356
Michael W. Ford
Allow yourself to be consumed in Holy Fire, and shadow shall blanket

your spirit as you bask in the flame of the Immortal Self. You are
transforming to a God/ Goddess, an Angel-Demon which shall walk the
earth again and perceive itself in a new light. You shall make TIME serve
YOU by thinking before you act, or say. Know what you want and by
experience understand the methods to which you may set a goal in
motion by understanding Time Flow. Act accordingly. In HELL, Arezura -
You are building your Black Tower, your spirit dwelling which is your
comfort and Dreaming Home. Time means nothing here, but as your
journey to the physical world and your earthly body, change it
accordingly.
You will now seek to emerge in the Physical world.
EMERGING FROM THE GATES-
As I strengthen myself in flame and shadow of my sorceries, I do

understand who and what I am and I know what I wish to become. In
opposition I am of the Sun and the Moon.
Al-Dajjal and Lilith-born.
I am wolf and bat, in dreams I may walk in secrecy, by Kunda - who is
drunk from the blood of Sheep I become!
As I stand at the Head of Arezura - I enter in flesh the material world To

manifest my desires - to become, advance and change the world according
to my Will
By ZAZAS I become
By ZAZAS I am Always
By Nasatanada In Opposition I become By
Zazas I change the World by my Will
SO IT IS DONE
The Shadow Circle of Mahazael - Amaimon

A Conjuration of the Dev of Devourment
Let the magician gather in the circle of the illuminated, The Grand
Luciferian Circle. The magician will be invoking Mahazael to gain the
initiatory insight of this Cainnite Dev, or Demon. The sorcerer should
create a mask which represents Mahazael or some kind of fetish like a
pot or doll. The mask should have crimson painted fangs, or colored with the
blood of the witch undertaking the rite. The face may be painted a pale and
blackened corpse green, representing the rising from the soil of
357
PP"
the earth to drink deep under the sun and the moon. The intent of this
rite is to bring the initiate to the lycanthropic and atavistic state of

selfmastery. Mahazael walks the path of Leviathan, in the circle of darkness
from which his words beget flesh. In the shadow dreaming form of
Mahazael, the sorcerer may develop lycanthropic states in sleeping and
waking, yet also send forth servitors to curse or bless another.
"Mahazael, 0 isolate dev of the earth, leave thy abode of the tomb and
ossary, the charnal house and nightmare of the sleeping, from the abyss
358
Michael W. Ford
and the chthonic depths of the earth, where no angel shall cast their
eyes, lest the dev consume their essence, arise!
Let the blood of feeding drip from thy mouth on the sheets of thy lovers.
0 consort of manes and shades of the dead between the veil of the living and
the dead, hear me!
Mahazael, thy face is time worn stretched skin of the corpse, molden
green and gray over a skull of sharpened fangs of the serpent and the wolf,
thy left hand holds a head, learned from the circle by Lilith - AZ, thy kin of
witch blood. From this head you drink deep the blood of life, through the
skull the ecstasy of the spirit of Cain, who you communicate with through
the dreams of your initiates of flesh.
Thy right hand holds the dual blade stained in the blood of thy victims,
rusted with age.
When you hold not the blade, a book covered in wolf skin holds the
knowledge of your path inked in blood, offer forth this grimoire in
dreaming...
Thy legs walk upon the corpses upon the shores, as you have taught the
dreaming travel of thy kin, Leviathan, in return you have taught the
blood is the life, that you shall exist eternally. As you walk upon the
corpses of the non dreaming, with legs covered in the fur of the beast, your
dragon - talon feet shredding and marking those who you walk,
drinking from the sleeping.
Your chest is decorated in the marks of your familiars and other devs of
your brotherhood, around thy neck the bones of the devoured. Thy head is
the face of death, yet also as a beast, horned like thy Kin of Blood
called Cain. Thy eyes a blackened and crimson brilliance, as Lilith.
Around thy spin is a long and mighty serpent which drinks from those who
you feed from, that serpent which brought you the wisdom of the earth when
you fell.
Mahazael, who rides upon the Draugr and in dreams carries the
nightmares, o consort of Naamah and Lilith, dev who walks with
Ahriman, I do summon thee forth. Enter and become, see through my
flesh, through my mind, through my eyes...
I am Mahazael - Amaimon, the devourer, the begetter of the path of the

drinker of the moon when it is red ......
I summon my servitors forth,

Akoros, Dalep, Glesi, Buriol, Romerac, Nilma, My spirits shall come forth and
attend to me, I awaken now in a new flesh...

So it is done...
Leviathan, Samael and Lilith
That Samael is considered the Qlippothic gateway towards self -

deification is not essentially a new concept, but often
misunderstood. The symbolism of this fallen angel is based within his
connection (I label the gender male due to the solar aspects of this
spirit, while Lilith is female and lunar) of Asmoday or
Ashamdon, a Yezidic archangel. Samael is considered to some
extent connected with the Roman Light Bearer, Lucifer whom brings
wisdom to mankind. When Lucifer becomes the shadow bringer
(Noctifer) he is revealed as the ancient Prince of Darkness, Set.
The hidden gateway within The Order of Phosphorus is the Sabbatic light and
union of opposites. Samael is the center resulting in the element Fire,
movement and manifestation. As this is the same as Asmodeus, both
unite in clarification ascertained through the medium itself. The
alchemical formula of self transformation and initiation is through
Asmodeus, the Lord of Witchcraft. As the hidden one, Asmodeus is the
fountainhead for the art of encircling energy, the very act of Sorcery
itself.
Samael is the fallen angel, the God of Fire and manifestation that fell as a
Seraph. It is considered that Samael, as being Asmodeus has developed
through Hebraic times through Daemonic appearance, confronting even
Solomon the mage. Samael represents the earthly Devil of the tarot, the
demon of lust whom resides within each individual, the dark side from
which all desire, positive or negative, manifest. The mysteries of Samael as
the Devil of the Tarot are within the tract 77, as commented on
originally by Aleister Crowley. This focus point, known as OZ is the
creation source of each individual, from birth to t he manifestation of
ones Will.
Samael is further the concept of Samael the black within Qlippothic

symbolism, the Daemon from which the sinister is revealed. Nature itself is
sinister, allowing destruction and creation, the beautiful passage from this
world to the next. As the force called God, what is perceived by society
as the natural order, in Cabalistic lore is called Metatron, the supreme
angel or obedient angel of the Right Hand Path. Samael is considered
to be the polar opposite, from the darkness. It is within this theory that the
Prince of Darkness is the true mover or manifestation point of life. It is
through the shadows from which he stands behind (as does Lilith) and
through their "tongues of deceit" shall their Will becomes
360
Michael W. Ford
flesh. This is the very model of the sorcerer from which the Luciferian
becomes the Magus of Leviathan, time itself.
One obtains the essence of Samael through the study of Liber OZ, from
which the study of sex and death, known as Thanateros, is understood and
made manifest positively in the sorcerers own life. Samael himself is
attributed to the serpent, when in the Zohar "For when Samael mounted
Eve, he injected filth into her, and she conceived and bare Cain." Tubal-
Cain is the father of Witchcraft, the first of the witch blood in the circle of
initiation. Upon earth, in flesh, the mythological linage comes from this
spirit.
Lilith is one of the Hebraic sources of Evil, reflective of the female ability to
not only produce children, but to their very nature itself. Women are
attributed to the Moon, Luna, and thus their natures are centered
around the phases of the moon. Lilith is thus a night daemon,
considered such because of he ability to seduce, take what she wishes, and
disregard those whom displease her. Lilith is the Goddess whose top half is
feminine beauty, her bottom half is that of an animal with bird like feet.
The Torah mentions Lilith in an interesting phrase,

Wildcats shall meet with hyenas, goat-demons shall call to each other;
there too Lilith shall repose, and find a place to rest. There shall the owl
nest and lay and hatch and brood in its shadow (Isaiah 34:14)
Jewish folklore mentions that Lilith resides in caves in another plane of

existence, much different from her original journey to the Red Sea caves in
which she bred demons. The mirror itself is the gateway for her home and
from which she may emerge and possess young girls. In a magickal sense,
Lilith represents the lunar qualities of both woman and man, therefore
possession is the conscious alignment with this fertile and seductive
force.
It was specifically that Lilith and Adam was not a happy or unified
couple. She wished independence and to be equal with mate, and Adam was
not pleased. Lilith refused to lay beneath and in a moment of anger and
disgust, rose to the air and called the secret magickal name of God, from
which she fled to the shores of the Red Sea. Adam called upon angels to
find her and they did locate her, in the caves on the Red Sea. There she
mated with demons and produced 100 Lilim or Lilitu, succubi and children
spawn of her blood. Needless to say, the angels felt little security in trying
to persuade her back to Adam.
Considering the Lunar qualities and the connection to Screech Owls,

Lilith is the Queen of Witches. By Witch I do mean cunning woman who
361
is able, by the abilities of Command to Look, by her own Dayside

attributes and her concise desire to dress for success, is able to seduce and
command by her Will of appearance alone. By the Nightside
attribute, the Goddess is the manifest ation or channel of Lilith, she
becomes the Witch Queen herself, and able to work sorcery, attend the
Sabbat upon the steed Kundak through the web of dreams itself. This is the
complete Witch, whom by Dayside and Nightside is able to master each by
her own Will. Lilith is thus revealed as BABALON, the Goddess of death,
blood, passion and life itself! Let her mysteries be revealed to those
through enflamed invocation!
The Sigil of Infernal Union, created by Levi and used originally in Maurice
Bessey's 1961 encyclopedia of the occult, "Histoire en 1000 Images de la
Magie", and re-issued in English later on as "A Pictorial History of Magic
and the Supernatural". This symbol, adopted by Anton Szandor LaVey and
the Church of Satan in 1966, removed the Samael and Lilith
inscriptions and redrew the symbol, titling it "The Sigil of Baphomet".
The Sigil of Infernal Union, as we choose to call it, uses the original names,
which surround the goat head. They are, Samael and Lilith. Many have
pondered over the reasoning for the Hebraic Sea Dragon and fallen angel,
Leviathan, which surrounds the pentagram. This shall be addressed in full
now.
Samael is in Thelemic or Luciferian terms the Beast 666, the solar

force of creation and life. The Beast 666 is considered evil in
Christian definitions as it inherently is without a master, has no use for,
nor desire for the laws of restriction and subservient behavior
developed from a brainwashed system of inner guilt and repression. The
Beast 666 is the solar phallic symbol, Pan, Satan, The Devil of the
Tarot, the source of manifestation and inner drive.
Samael, being also known as Ashmodai or Asmodeus, is the beast which

brings us the inner drive to become, to advance and manifest our path or
Will. Remember, Cain is the off spring or child of Asmodeus (Samael) and
Eve, thus the father of Witchcraft!
What should be considered is not that Samael (or Ashmodai) are

considered 'evil' in any moralistic way, however that Samael is the solar
and aggressive force of becoming. When one invokes Samael, they
become the Dragon of Darkness. The Dragon is in reference to the primal
force of the reptilian mind, cold and calculating while the darkness is
itself the hidden source of knowledge.
Lilith is known as the Queen of Demons in Hebrew lore, but also she has
manifested throughout different cultures and times. Kali is one of the 17
362
Michael W. Ford
names of Lilith, represented as the devouring black mother of India, who

absorbs through time itself. Kali is the pro -active female, the mother
which devours its young. While Lilith is itself, a force of the
subconscious, lunar and fluid sense of self, something so very "real" as
Lilith may manifest to the sorcerer.
Lilith is the mother of demons, spawning Lilitu or Succubi, in the caves of

the Red Sea. Lilitu and Succubi are essential in the magical awakening
process of the sorcerer. While many might view such as dangerous, it is
rather essential in the becoming or initiation period of the individual.
Lilith and her home of desolation is located near the Red Sea, which is
first described in the Old Testament. This demonic area is filled with
owls, ravens, daemonic servitors, vampires, werewolves, satyrs and
drenched in blood.
The familiar, when created, is an important step in awakening through

Sexual Congress, from which one seeks union with the dreaming body of the
gnosis. The Lilitu is the Gate towards one discovering the Holy
Guardian Angel (an alternate path of the Witches Sabbath) and the Evil
Genius. Seek union with the Lilitu, within and without.
One mystery of the two is that they are called "The Eternal Couple" and are
symbolized in the Zohar as the "evil" couple (evil is therefore
described as the Left Hand Path approach, isolating the self which was
contrary to many of the founders of religious Christianity). Samael is
then revealed as Asmodeus and Lilith the mother of fornication.
Samael and Lilith are the keys of Infernal, or Daemonic Union. It is by the
combination of these forces which are the Sun and Moon respectively that we
may emerge from which the familiar and exterior daemon may seek
further sexual congress via dreams. The Sigil of Infernal Union is the
gateway towards Qlippothic Awakening, which we may unite the shadow
with the light, therefore reaching towards the depths and heights of beauty!
Leviathan surrounds the averse pentagram in the Hebrew letters LVThN.

Leviathan is indeed the Hebraic Sea Dragon known through many
cultures as the male counterpart of Tiamat, the Ourabouris, Tanin'iver, the
blind dragon. It is by all secrets now known the mystical marriage of
Daemonic opposites was through the unconscious link of Leviathan,
whom brought both spirits together in union. Leviathan is the timeless
aspect of being, as by the fall along with Lucifer Leviathan perceived the self
and by entering the great oceans centered itself in the mind of the dragon.
Leviathan is thus timeless and is within the subconscious of man and
woman.
363
The symbol of entering and becoming is thus summarized in the

following way:
Leviathan (the gateway)

-Timelessness, subconscious power, immortal aspects of the essential self
Samael (the Sun - known as Asmodeus)
-Force, Sorcery, Fire. Samael is the one of darkness (knowledge hidden)
whom rode Eve and 'injected filth into her'. Samael is the root force of The
Beast 666, the solar creative force and the devil of the tarot.
Lilith (the Moon - Queen of the Witches and Lilitu/ Succubi)

-Witchcraft, Sorcery, Lunar dream magicks. Lilith is the mother of
harlots whom appears in the form of a beautiful woman with the
lower half animal like, hairy and feet of a large bird. Lilith is the
gateway to the Sabbat and to the arts of Lesser and Greater Black
Magick. Lilith is also the lunar blood covered Goddess, revealed in
Thelemic lore as BABALON.
SAMAEL (the Sun - Daemonic and Solar Phallic Force, an extension of Set)
-Magick and Solar creative sorcery. Samael is the Dragon - Daemon of
Warlocks and Wizards, the manifestation aspect of Daemonic Becoming.
Samael is the mastery of the earth and positive creation by knowledge into
wisdom. Samael opens the gateway of the knowledge of the
Watchers, and all fallen angels. Revealed in Thelemic lore as The Beast
666.
The Three Aspects unified creates Baphomet, or Abu-fi-Hamat, the Black

Head of Wisdom translated also as "Father of Wisdom". It is because of this
that the union of Samael and Lilith, the marriage of opposites, through
the Dragon Leviathan that wisdom grows from knowledge.

The Ritual of Infernal Union
Solitary ritual based on the union of opposites. Black Robe, Candles: Black
and Red.
Sigil of Infernal Union may be used upon the altar wall as well as the altar itself. The sigil
of the union of the Beast 666 and Babalon may be used as well. This symbol is
based on the classic sigil originally designed by Aleister Crowley, but redrafted by Elda
Isela Ford. This is indeed a Saturn/Lunar rite, the merging of sexualities within the
individual. One should prepare the GRAND LUCIFERIAN CIRCLE, robed in
black and red and candles should be black and red. A statement of
intent would read as the following:
365
Pr"
"It is my Will to invoke the Egregores of Samael and Lilith, so that by union of
Both within myself, I shall become reborn as Baphomet."
Widdershins, Banishing ritual to clear mind and Call the Four Quarters:
Zazas, Zazas, Nasatanada Zazas
SOUTH:
Shaitan-Set,
Lords of the Southern Tower, Djinn Father of fire and desert sands, I do
summon thee forth to witness my rites of awakening and union. I
command the fires of the Abyss to protect my circle, let the gates be
opened!
EAST:
Lucifer-Phosphorus,
Lords of the Eastern Tower, bearer of the black flame, lord of light and
Promethean flame, I do summon thee forth to witness my rites of
awakening and union. I command the forces of Air and the astral plane,
send thy Luciferian elementals to guard this circle.
WEST:
Leviathan-Ourabouris,
Lord of the Western Tower, who beholds the Black Flame hidden in the
depths!
Great encircling one, who holds the keys to immortality! I summon the
forces of Water and the Sea to witness my rites of awakening and union. Be
watchful and protect this circle!
NORTH:
Belial
Lord of the Northern Tower, who fell from heaven to be as God itself, who
accepts no master- I do summon thee forth to witness my rites of
awakening and union. I command the forces of the earth to protect this
circle!
Imagine each force in a silent way adding the essence of protection

around you.
Take now the Athame from the altar, envision the image of Samael,
reciting:
366
Michael W. Ford
"Solar force of fire and inspiration, which from all life emerges as its own
being, I do summon thee, Samael from the depths of my soul, my very
being, to emerge in my consciousness as life and solar force! Do manifest and
hear my words, which are meant as an invocation of Sorath, the
Beast 666 which is your secret name. Samael, Satan do manifest unto me. Let
me guide the union of opposites!"
Begin masturbation, envisioning the solar force building from the base of
your spine up to your head, the fire force spreading like a fountain
throughout your entire body. Remember, you are controlling this force, do
not orgasm yet. Hold the fire vision as you feel Saturn or Samael take
consciousness. Allow the force to Immolate your consciousness; share the
ecstasy with this angel of fire and light.
Take now the cup from the altar, drinking deeply of its cold and
refreshing elixir.
Envision now Lilith and recite:
"Lunar force of water and dream walking, which you shall manifest my
consciousness from the desert caves of the Red Sea, I do summon you,
invoke you within me. Bring unto me your mysteries of your children, the
Lilitu, that I may hold the arcana of sexual union and vampiric
manifestation. Enter me, mother of the path of the wise, reveal your bestial and
angelic essence to me. Do manifest through me now, join in union with your
mate, Samael. Join through me the union of Opposites!"
Allow the lunar energy to flow through you, catching the visions of lilitu
and such succubi, bestial and hair covered below their waste... seeking the
sexual union of others in great fornication and abandonment. Lilith is
Babalon, the goddess who bathes in the blood of the moon.
Face now the altar, take the wand and recite while focusing upon Lilith:
"She howls upon the desert winds, as the moon brings the cloak of
Darkness. The shadow radiate her essence, blood drinker, devouress of the
sleeping, fornicate in the spilt veins of those who come to you!
Lilith, LA-KAL-IL-LI-KA, I invoke thee by your sacred names:

I offer my essence as sacrifice, a drop of my blood. Witch Queen of the

infernal Sabbat! I do invoke thee, horned moon which spills and drinks the
lunar blood, she who fornicates with Daemons, I do seek your kiss, I give you
substance now from which you shall enter me!
Lilith, beautiful mother, giver of life and desire, I do summon thee forth!
Lilith, who resides in the caves with your children of darkness, spawned
through once congress with Samael, I unite now your passion through
creation!"
Face now the Altar, envision the Red Dragon who changes into the form of
the fallen Seraphim, Samael, and recite:
"Whom fell from heavenly unlight to have knowledge of the darkness,

fallen seraph of fire and the sun, I do invoke thee, Samael. To you, who has
walked the earth for thousands of years, from body to body, now shall you
spread your light unto humanity.
Angel, known as Shemna'il, who is Nasiru'd-Din, I do invoke thee, solar

force, known as Sorath, Beast whose number is of the Sun itself, I do
summon thee forth! Serpent Angel, who came by the astral plane with
Melek Taaus, known as Shaitan, Lucifer - the Brothers of Light. Come forth
now through me, manifest in my being, we shall join as one. By the names of
power:
AR-O-GO-GO-RU-ABRAO, PUR, IAFTH, 00, AR, THIAF, A-THELE-BER-SET,

PHITHETA-SOE!!
I summon thee, revealed as Set, whom is the sun and darkness in union!"
368
Michael W. Ford
Envison now the fire of spirit, which is swirling within your very self,
encircling Lilith and moving throughout your consciousness.
Take now the Athame and focus upon the Dragon-angel, Leviathan.
"Force of the Subconscious, whom I call the outside, I do summon thee to

bring The Sun and the Moon, Samael and Lilith, in glorious union! I do Will
this union within my self, that I may speak the words unheard from the
profane, and my Will manifest through the gates of Apep!
Hear the word of power:
MRIODOM!!
Allow now the self to experience grand ecstasy, that through enflaming the
self one would focus upon the image of Samael and Lilith in sexual
congress, the fire and water of spirit joining in a blaze of force, as orgasm is
obtained, imagine the force of light and the waves of darkness
consume your mind!
"Ya! Zat-I Shaitan!" So it is done.

Sethanic Witchcraft and the Left Hand Path
371
The Light of Iblis Unveiled
The connections of Sethanic Witchcraft85 and the Left Hand Path are
indeed more deeply connected than what is commonly perceived. It is the
very essence of the craft that is Luciferian in base and from such a
fruitful fountain can a greater gnosis be discovered. Demons become angels
and darkness becomes a beautiful light. This is not done so
however easily, and requires the development and work of the
imagination, which is called Iblis2, commonly known as Set and Satan.
The Left Hand Path is essential a journey, or path center within

nonunion (antinomian) with the objective universe, or nature. A LHP
practitioner does not view aligning the psyche with the natural order a
healthy thing to do. The LHP is the isolati on of the self, or psyche to
refine ones' own center of being, to improve and develop continually. This
does require a desire, a balance of self, and the imagination to make this
work for the individual.
William Blake was one of the very few westerners who recognized Satan as
the imagination, not an enthroned demon devouring souls. In
Paradise Lost, Milton painted Lucifer in the same aspect as perhaps the
very source of this angel, in the Middle Eastern lore of Iblis and Shaitan, the
Opposer.
Sethanic Witchcraft is in essence the unity of primal sorcery and

illuminated magick, the ascension and the antinomian development of
self. The Sethanic Gnosis is not new, rather it is the gift of self-initiation
brought down from Lucifer and the Watchers and transmitted via mouth to
ear in the dreaming plane. By utilizing the keys of the writings as
workings the gates are unlocked. As the reader moves through the
grimoires and texts, envisions and relates to the art, or perhaps discovers a
new shape within an angle, then shall this knowledge be passed unto the
initiate. The Sethanic Gnosis lives in each practitioner, just as the Black
Flame is illuminated, this current is alive as well.
Many techniques are introduced; many utilized and once they have worn out
their use, are discarded for new techniques that bring results for the
sorcerer.

Angel.
372
Michael W. Ford
The Throne of Twilight3 is the awakening undertaken by the initiate, by he

and she whom invokes and envisions the Luciferian Light. That
Lucifer is Iblis, the imagination, and the very foundation of free thought that
defines the propagation of the Will. In the Sethanic Path there is the essence
of primal sorcery, with the aims of light beyond and through the darkness.
Iblis fell from the heavens; the innocence passed beyond once the self was
perceived. Iblis understood that he (I choose to write in masculine terms
while exploring Iblis/Lucifer, though not defining it to gender within the
initiatory context) was indeed separate from the universe, that he like all
forms of being was special. Iblis, or Lucifer was the essence of fire, thus he
was a Djinn. Iblis is the initiator of the path. Azazel, the name of Iblis is
the Djinn transformed into fallen angel, later called Lucifer. It was the
very gift of Lucifer which brought man the first flame of perception, thus the
Black Flame.
Azrail is the angel of death, which is an alternate of Azazel, thus Azrail is the
shadow form of Azazel, however of the path of darkness and the dead.
Anubis, within the Egyptian context, is the guardian of the path and the
opener of the way. The mentioning of Azrail is the lunar fountain from which
the vampyre djinn drinks.
As Satan /Lucifer/ Shaitan is the guardian of the threshold4, the

imagination is the gateway of the Black Flame itself. Humans hold the
very keys to the primal source, the barbarous tongues which open the
gates of hell and the darkness within. It is from the fallen angels and
Djinn, the Watchers which from the fall bring us divine light and the
infinite possibility of becoming. Azazel refused to bow before man, whom was
created from clay. As a Djinn of fire, Azazel was the initiator of the path, the
twelve winged cherub which was the most illuminated angel of God. Iblis
however, rejected faith itself. This was the moment from which this spirit
saved and uplifted humanity. As he fell from the heavens unto earth, his
comrades including the Watchers, who mated with women of the earth,
realized they did not perish and the Black Flame itself remained.
Pride called Kibr was the reason for the fall of Iblis, who found knowledge in
the self. In other pantheons from behind Satan comes forth the
The Title of the Poem/Lyric which is written in form of a statement and invocation at the same time. A
writing of Opposition from which Self-Initiation may occur.
The Imagination, or Iblis. The Very gateway of our mind. Ayn al-Qozat Hamadani, a Shaykh executed at the
age of 3I in his hometown Hamadan, Northwest Iran in 1131 A.D. This shaykh was an initiated teacher whom
brought the knowledge of THE BLACK LIGHT and DARK TRESSES of the BELOVED to those who were
able to understanding this concept. Satan is the Guardian of the Threshold, a doorway which is the space-
between-worlds. (from Iblis, Peter Lamborn Wilson, Gnosis Magazine)
373
Egyptian Prince of Darkness, SET. Set is considered the isolate and

beautiful self, that within isolation, is the immortal psyche. Set has
brought forth many masks, which he wears in the eye of the one who
views him. Being Iblis, Azazel, Shaitan, Lucifer, Satan, each is different in
some ways throughout other cultures, yet Set is within and beyond them
all. This by itself, is the Typhon-Sethian awakening of Luciferian Being.
One who leaves order to explore Chaos and Darkness, and in the center of
this finding a light more beautiful than any flickering lesser light beyond
it.
Darkness is a principle understood only by experiencing it. One who

persists to despise the concept of darkness and evil, literally have not
tasted the fruits of its tree. Darkness is call such because no light is
given to view it. When one illuminates a light within, a great shadow is
cast down. We are the Promethean source of all light and fire, and by
seeking Set by the various masks he wears can we become one with the
Prince of Darkness. It is not, however just about becoming 'one', rather
remaining separate and unique. Set in this aspect joins with us yet we
exist still in the antinomian sense. The text of this grimoire is given as
such, a cipher to be used in bringing forth the Prince of Darkness,
immolating yourself, and becoming as this very life giving force of the
universe.
The Luciferian concepts of light are given in areas of self -study and
exploration. We are not able to just pass through times and examples of
being, yet we must remain constant and at the same time progressive. All
knowledge we seek brings us wisdom, a new sense of self. Chaos is the tool
found around us from which the Waters of Nun allow us to drink.
'Art is the instinctive application (to observations or sensations) of the
knowledge latent in the sub-consciousness." - A. 0. Spare
This grimoire offers the God Forms of the Sethanic and Luciferian Path as
the gateway, a communication point of the developing gnosis of
selfcreation. Those who may see through and within the body of work will be
able to utilize its power.
The Masks of Satan in a myriad of forms is but a shadow of which it
really is; such symbolism is a testing ground for initiation.
Understanding the essence of Set-heh (Set the Opposer) within the

gnosis obtain through this grimoire is essential in the results sought. The
individual must be comprehendible concerning the aims of the Great
Work. Sorcery and Magick are successful when the magician is willing to
cross the Abyss and instead of denial of the world ultimately and loosing

Michael W. Ford
the ego, one uses this neither-neither aspect of seizing and strengthening the
consciousness. By approaching Magick and elevating the self one may
capitalize on the chance to initiate the self towards the God Set or Lilith,
and drink from the cup of ecstasies from which they offer.
The Throne of Twilight
From the throne of twilight brought

Gave no lamp of the deads last vison The
spirit offi re cast down as lightning
Through the choice of isolation
Consciousness regained
sleep did not prevail
from the ashes of Azrael's urn
did Iblis emerge,
From night doth he go forth
Let the knowledge of heaven and

the secrets of Hell,
Be ever in union, for there is
the secret of God itself
The sacred cup of life
offered unto ashen lips
It is the knowledge of the daimon,

in it's waking beauty,
Unseen for the rest hides beneath the tomb,
The test of overcoming the flesh will come,
from which thy solitary form shall
remanifest in glory and fire
It was the daughter of night which tasted

the blood from the Eyes of God,
and held it unto her being
A spark and flame illuminated,
375
the Lunar rays granted freedom

from the flesh. The horned moon then
understood Iblis and was not unlike the Djinn.
As Iblis and the Watchers descended to

Earth, they brought the knowledge
376
Michael W. Ford
and gnosis of being and becoming

In their temple long buried by desert sand,
They too communed in the knowledge of
the human race, breeding the
Passions of dawn and twilight!
Known as clay, still they thought to bring to it

the flame of life, unto the union of the beasts of
the field. The clay was shaped in the image
of perfection, yet was unawakened.
Lilith the horned triple moon entered again in

the night for with desire and knowledge,
which she brought forth this gnosis from
her knowledge of the Watchers,
The circle was born for sacred communion,

for the greater familiars who exist within and beyond,
knowing in the light of Set, Lucifer knowing in the
triumphant flame now unhidden by the sighted
It was and is the circle of which the sacred speak,

But the triangle of which the spirits of old
come forth shall allow always the arcana of self,
inviolate and beautiful, to seek to grow the
knowledge of being.
Thus to join, in the union of the great

Familiars of the skull, the secret dreaming
Knowledge of the dead. This is Azrael's kiss
Whispered in the ear of those who wake
Encircling the self with the knowledge

And wisdom of Light and Darkness Iblis
377
Became the harbinger of life of humanity

Standing separate of all the universe
In this self created light which cast forth

Darkness in all its brilliance and splendor,
The Prince of Darkness was born
through division and puissance
Lilith came unto the Prince of Darkness

Whom found the shores of the Red Sea In
passion and nocturnal lust knew The
passions of man and woman and
378
Michael W. Ford
Thus children of this infernal union born
The great familiars and watchers of the quarters

Were born of the Devil's lust, thus Cain emerged
To walk with Adam and his bride
It was the serpent call Set-Heh or Satan

Who brought the sight of gnosis to clay
Thus a great fire emerged which burnt with life
That initially man embraced this light only few
could understand and use this brilliance
which remained constant in only a few
Lilith came unto man and woman as well

Bringing the gift of Sorcerous art to both,
as well as the secrets of the grave.
It was the cup of God's Blood from
which the serpent drank, and was passed to
man by mouth to ear in the dreaming land
The first grimoire was written in this blood,

Sealed with the fire of Djinn and Dragon's eye,
Which dwelled in the mind of those embraced
This unspoken knowledge.
Humanity carried the knowledge of the Beast,

Which angels sought to possess
Bringing the unseen force of the spirit of caves
And caverns, creating the ideal being
It was then that it was drawn from the well of

immortality, through the darkness And fire
they sipped the blood of God.
It was the passion and knowledge of the fallen ones,

the Watchers, who developed the gift of Iblis
called now Set-hen or Satan
seeking now union with the daughters of man
379
they brought the fire of clay closer to the

Crown of the Dragon.
The serpent so unseen by many,

Brought forth a lively song in the tunnels
The ones offi re were many,
With a deep respect for Iblis

Michael W. Ford
called Shaitan the Opposer,

teaching them to see beyond the veil,
they came forth one by one and tasted
The ecstasy of shadows
Arimanus called the Dragon of Darkness

Who tasted the sweet flesh and poisoned flower
of Lilith understood what existence in flesh would be
Born of shadows and flesh torn trickery
The passion and desire of Lilith grew,

Just as immortality emerged from
Strength Of consciousness,
and thus this ideal reversed
Az became Lilith, whom the
Queen of Witchcraft Born, taking
the names of cultures from which
She rode.
With hunger Lilith tasted the life which so sang

A beautiful hymn, silence then faded to
The waking of the grave.
That humanity may know the essence of the

Fall, Lilith brings the kiss of the vampyres' touch
Waking the spirit in the grave, then we
Shall know the Ahrimanic Gift
By the forked tongue of the initiator I shall hear,

To know which is rarely spoken will not be
Unseen, that the knowledge of Fire, be
the Hidden language of the mind And
nothing will remain beyond it.
The glyphs and sigils of the art shall bring

Closer the gulf of the waking and dreaming,
Union brings the arcana of sorcerous wisdom
laid before by scaled and wolf skinned hand
381
It is the Watchers which bring man and woman The

ability to Willfully change their surroundings, and how
they may be changed by command alone It is Set-heh
which brings us the knowledge of being
And the Black Flame of self-consciousness,
Let us exalt this gift of Luciferian Light

It is Lilith who brings us the night born congress

Michael W. Ford
Of dream flight, the very Sethanic Arcana of the

Bring death of spirit to those unwilling

It was Set-an which mastered the burning Star of

It is in the opposition of order that

Lilith brings another gift

The dawn that is the hymn of the Opposer
Which grants freedom to man and woman sleeping

is her crimson cloak,

Nocturnal flight above the graves of the sleeping
At the Sabbat shall we be seen,

Spoken in shadow's company
From the mask shall the Dragon be revealed
Through the soul thirst of non sleep
Will the Vampyric kiss prevail
Each of those of which we are will become

Reborn in the lunar light of the
Triple Goddess of Night

Burning Sun of the Djinn of the Desert
Shall we become yet again,
born of serpents flame.

Beyond the veil of this fire, the profane shall not pass
Yet the sabbat dream is bestowed to the drinker of ecstasy
Within the realm of shadow, cold through the caves Of

Illuminated by Qayin

From the chariot of the spirits

Which came unto earth
Passed the cunning fire to man
Which that brought forth the awakened
Who knew both darkness and light
And drank of both sources
In Asonya we shall drink of the purest light

Which awakens the knowledge of Stars
In Elba, given the cup of Hekate

Shall all manner off orm and change be revealed
In Benase shall balance of shadow and light be seen

Through the mastery shall Cunning Fire be held

In Erae shall the mastery of Earth be commanded

And from the caves shall she be called

I, who reside within the darkness and vast outer wastes,

whom has tasted of the desert fire of the fall,
diving the abyssic waters of Nun do come forth.
It is within the semblance of shadow that

the light is merged with the burning darkness.
I have perceived myself through
the mirror image of my own being, the opposer
from which both sides I initiate.
Those of the left kingdom,

reached by diving the Oceans of Nun
and seeking union with Leviathan shall understand this vision.
Know that the cyclopean ruins

of my Temple is not the existence of space, yet
it resides in the heart of every individual.
To illuminate my Gift to the clay of the earth,
389
the Black Flame soon is resound

and pondering the essence of
transformation from clay to Fire.
The silent initiator is

soon upon the path of the shadow,
from which Iblis as I am sometimes
called guides from the essence of the self
To separate from the path of union of nature,

once must taste from the Waters of Nun

The Black Eagle
Existent in the spectral roads, this spirit familiar is considered a

foundation of the transmission of the modern Sethanic Current and
those who work through it. While the history of the Black (sometimes
called Blue Eagle) is rather shady, the emergence of the magickal work of
390
Michael W. Ford
Austin Osman Spare produced the image known as Black Eagle.

According to popular legend, Spare was passed the spirit -familiar of
Black Eagle through Mrs. Paterson, the Witch Mother who initiated
Austin at an early age. When she passed into t he Ghost Roads the
familiar was transmitted to Spare. Zos vel Thanatos (his name to initiates of
the current) is the inherent linage passed from mouth to ear, the
inspiration of dreaming inspiration that initiates the magickal work.
During Spare's life he had a constant familiar or an outside spiritual

guide, which was known to him as the Black Eagle. This spirit has been
understood through study of Coven Nachttoter as a Vampyre Spirit,
which exists through the astral or dream plane. It has been suggested that
the Black Eagle gave influence through Mrs. Paterson, who in turn
informed Spare on the occult arts. Much of this knowledge must have
been passed on via dreams. The Black Eagle is the spirit -familiar of the
Sethanic Witchcraft Gnosis itself as well as a symbol of the lunar or
shadow self, a vampyre spirit who fed from the energies of the sigil itself-
the focus of energy. The Black Eagle seems to mold its' form and shape to
the ideal point of identification. Its masks are many, a nd it's forms fluid
with imagery depending on the individual. In Coven evocations, this spirit
forms in the black mirror according to the identification of the group. If
they group decides on specific features and points while focusing
intently, then this shadow takes form. If many are confused and not
agreeing on the form, the shapes vary often in daemonic forms of bestial
shades.
The work of Zos produces the seeing Eye of the world of dreams and
twilight, which the witch is able to perceive inherently. This passage of
essence is revealed only to those who are able to comprehend the essence and
what it is to reveal. It is Spare's gnosis, transferred in a way which was
shown as a pure source of magickal gnosis, is the culmination of the very
essence of the Sabbat. In Austin Spare's ritual text, The Witches' Sabbath,
it was a formula of bizarre combination of sources which produced
results, the emergence in the dreaming Eye of Zos. Spare was first taught a
method of obtaining Sethanic ascension through which the self voluntarily
abstains from sexual congress, repression and sacrifice to within the rite
itself, release all in an orgia of sexual awakening which combines the
powers of the Sun and Moon. The self thus is free in all aspects and the
Sethanic Orgia itself is the manifest powers of the Alphabet of Desire,
the witches' language of the subconscious.
An excellent example of how Aos would capture the daemonic spirits and
automata found on the astral plane was the series of exceptional
drawings which became "The Book of Ugly Ecstasy". The spirits featured in
this book are found through the formation of beings born of astral semen
and stored sexual energy. Such daemons may be bound to objects
391
and talismans, from which is handled by the magician involved. These

talismans are always consecrated with blood or sexual fluid (always
belonging to the sorcerer involved.) and such automata may be destroyed and
banished, reabsorbed by burning the sigil or talisman.
The Black Eagle is a familiar spirit which may be called and brought
unto the sorcerer by means of Will, Desire and Belief. It is the intense
focus and concentration which lead to the emergence of the spirit in an
elder way similar to that of shamanistic invocation, the flight of the mind to
seek the congress of the body of familiars, the succubi and incubi of the
unconscious. Spare's use of the Quadrigia Sexualis also known as the Four
Horsemen of Sex is the Quarters of the Calling of Manifestation. The first
being constant congress, the glyph of Babalon, Az or the lunar aspect
Lilith. This instance is symbolized by the Hand (Will) and Eye
(Imagination), from which all things manifest. This is the essence of the Zos
Kia Cultus, from which the hand and eye unite from which the power of the
self commands the world around it.
The second is the gesture of the use of Barbarous Evocation, or

Barbarous Words. This is the speaking of the Alphabet of Desire from
which the sorcerer allows the arcana of the self to speak its infernal and
hidden essence, the commanding of Will and the enfleshment of desire.
Mantra and chant is used in this aspect and the secret words are
utilized. "What sounds the depths and conjoins Will and Belief? Some
inarticulate hieroglyph, or sigil, wrought from nascent Desire and
rhythmed by unbounded Ego." Austin Osman Spare, The Grimoire of Zos
The Third gesture is the entire concept of stimulation, the stirring of

desire of the one wish, crowned with the death posture. This is when,
through the desire of self and creation, and then excitement to complete
collapse mentally and physically, is the great sacrifice gratified through the
communion with The EYE of Awakening, being Set the Opposer. The Dragon
awaits within this threshold, from which the imagination (Iblis) brings one
forth.
The Fourth is the Sexual aspect of Draconian Magick, from which one
adds the sexual creative process infused with the familiar on the astral
plane, allows it to begin copulations independent of the self. While the
sorcerer charges this creative Daemon, the idea and wish fulfillment is one
aspect of success. The Left Hand Path approach is to utilize this aspect
of the sexual djinn to build its energy towards the Dragon, the center of
being of the antinomian process. This formula is described in full within
this grimoire, in poem and image. Use it wisely and use the attributes all
in all. The Great Dragon coils and offers the elixir of immortality
depending on who may drink from it.
392
Michael W. Ford
The Black Eagle is the essential guide to this process, and acts as a
mental stimulant towards ones self-initiation into the mysteries of the
Sabbat. The Black Eagle is in one aspect a shade of Ahriman, whom has
gained immortality through existence within the Sethanic Initiate, no
matter what it is called or guise it travels. The mask of the Black Eagle is in
this case shadow and vampyre, the soul drinking djinn who awakens the
individual unto self-deification through the initiation into the
Draconian Mysteries of Khem, the Black Land.
The Essence of the Black Eagle is found in the mask of which it wears. The
Vampyric element is itself present in the concept of being. The Sethanic
and Luciferian Path is a culmination of sorcery and magickal practice. The
Black Eagle is a familiar spirit which brings the inspiration of initiation, the
self exteriorized from which we abstractly communicate and achieve a
next-level of advancement. The Black Flame of the crossroads, which
the living and the dead meet.
Embrace this enveloped shadow at the crossroads of the altar, of the

ritual chamber and shadowmantieon of which one shall announce the Will
and Desire.
The sigil may be place upon the altar from which may be charged upon
each focus and invocation of the Black Eagle. This familiar shall be an
exteriorized symbol of the self and the Draconian Mirror of the
Subconscious. Off beat drumming, ectstasy and the mind entering gnosis
through such techniques will align the sorcerer's mind with the work at
hand.
"As twilight grows dim, and night does approach

the spirit gates open, the ghost doors await.
Shade of solitude, night winged bringer of gnosis come forth
Hearken and come forth as I light the flame in the
Northern Quarter
Let this be your lamp of guidance
Vampyre shadow, timeless essence do come forth, seek

communion with those of the arte.
As night brings forth the manes grave-born, immortal spirit of
shadow nourished.
Tomb dwelling forest wraith do manifest.

The Sun
From the light of fire came first Azazel, known as the prince of the
Watchers, whom taught to man and woman how one may fashion

Michael W. Ford
weapons and metals, shields that would assist in defense. The knowledge of
beautification by colored stones and the soils of minerals of the earth were
given unto the daughters of man, whom Azazel sought to know carnally.
Gadreel demonstrated how one may use such weapons to destroy the
enemy, and command the Will in flesh. Shamsiel brought unto man and
woman the signs of the Sun, and how the plants and gifts of the soil may
give unto us a means of substance. Penemue taught the use of writing, of
ink and parchment that we may record our thoughts and knowledge to
our decedents. Akibeel unlocked the great subconscious and the
Alphabet of Desire which existed written within us all. Araqiel understood
the signs of the earth and how we may utilize such sorcerous knowledge,
called Witchcraft by some. Armers taught the use of sorcery and
enchantments as a natural gift, once evoked from memory may carry our
streams of initiation further.

The Moon
From the night came forth Shemyaza, who mirrored Azazel on the other
side, and taught root cuttings, wort cunning and the enchantments of
sorcery. Kasdeja brought unto woman the knowledge of destroying the
fetus but also the lore of demons and angels of the self, how they may be
used within ones becoming. Amazarak brought the knowledge of wort
cunning and sorcery to others as well, initiating bloodlines and spiritual
linage through off spring of their dream union with the daughters of

man. Barakayal initiated astrology and the movement of stars, as did

Tamiel the art of astronomy. Ezeqeel taught the discipline of astral
projection and the movement of clouds while Kokabel understood the
constellations and how to enter Ursa Minor from which Seth existed.
Sariel knew the motion of the moon and the lunar callings of Witch
Mother Lilith. Sariel also knew the motions of the Moon and the Goddess
which resided in its light.
By Flame and Darkness, by Sun and Light shall each be invoked.

397
The Invocation of Set the Adversary
The Egyptian God Set is considered within many LHP schools of thought the
God form of isolation, and a model for our own self-becoming and
evolution. Consider the role of Set, being the isolator, and initiator and the
destroyer of delusion. Set is also the Lord of Chaos and the Sender of
Nightmares, a tester of the self. Within the Sethanic Witchcraft tradition, Set
is just as this: an image of becoming, advancement and self -strength. This
invocation is one of self-empowerment and the challenge of selfevolution.
I call to thee, Isolator Triumphant,

Lord of Deserts and Chaos Wastes!
Summoning God of the Oceans depths,
Raise Leviathan through your call

become to emerge in light. Abraoth, Athorebalo, Kolchoi Tontonon!

Anpu - The Opener of the Way

Anubis is considered to be an initiatory God form, one which one
assumes as a form of passage unto the Celestial/ Luciferian realms of
Spirit and the Infernal Sabbat. Anubis, as defined by E.A. Wallis Budge in
"The Gods of the Egyptians" presents Am Ut, the "Dweller in the
Chamber of Embalmment" as the Opener of the North (Ap-Uat) to the
realm of Set. Anubis is also called Hermanubis and Death. Heru-em-
Anpu is a dual God form, which holds power in both the
celestial/ Luciferian and Infernal regions. This draws a close connection
between the Egyptian Anubis and Grecian Triple Moon Goddess Hecate.
As Anubis is the jackal headed Lord of the Dead, he presides in the West.
Charles Pace (Hamara't) mentions in the "Book of Tahuti" that West is the
direction of Water, as well as Darkness. According to his Hermetic
teachings, Anubis is also Death and a God form of Necromantic power.
Anpu is also a Gateway to Amethes - Amenta - Amentet. This
ùnderworld' is the equivalent to the Grecian Hades. This is the meeting
place of spirits, where the dead gather. The word Hell derives from the
Angelo-Saxon `Helan', meaning to 'Cover' or 'Conceal'. The Hebrew
equivalent of Hades-Amentet is Sheol, which is said to come from the
root-word "to ask" and "demand". The primary inhabitants of Sheol are
"The congregation of the dead" - Prov. 21:16
Anubis is the Son of Set and Nephthys. This Mortuary God was
worshipped in such places as the Abt, the Papyrus swamps and the
Lycopolis (the City of Wolves - Jackals). In the Funeral procession,
Anubis received the mummy, and lays his hands up on the body in
initiation and protection. In the dreaming gnosis of wither the
celestial/ Luciferian or Infernal Sabbat, one assumes Anubis as the
Opener of the Way, the God form of Mortal (mundane) and Vampyric
(immortal) rebirth.
The altar should be placed in the North. The west wall should have a
small table to which you may have an image of Anubis and the bones or
images of the Dead. West is the gateway of which you enter and dwell,
then you shall emerge in the North from the Gates of Amenta.
West
Holding the Anthame focus on image of Anpu and recite-
"I stand at the gate of the twilight realms. I have passed as a shadow of
Death yet in joy and love I shall return in flesh. 0' Dweller in the chamber
400
Michael W. Ford
of embalmment I invoke thee! Fill my spirit with the mysteries of the jackal and
the divine, that through darkness I shall emerge as Light.
Am Ut, Hekak, Sekak, Ursha umpesta Zoriodo!

(Dweller in the chamber of embalmment, by Holy Fire and Blackened
Flame, Arise from shadows, Jackal and Wolf, son of chaos born!)
Surround the self in the enchantments of Death and the tomb, the
Anthame should be circled around the self in widdershins, while moving
envision the shades of the dead surround and move in a funnel cloud
about the circle of self. You are the very spark of life they seek, that by
being close to you they shall taste the Light of Set - that Hermanubis, or
Death brings the dwellers of the ghost realms to the Light of his father,
being Set-an.
By the Holy Fire of the Night, which burns above the tombs of those who
have life beyond, I am this vessel of both Celestial and Infernal, I am
blackness and the hunger of the dead, yet I am burning with the Light of the
Sun."
"I open forth the realm of Amenthes that I shall walk among its dwellers
and seek the communion of the Shades of Azoth. My lips are the lips of Anpu
and from it the mask is raised."
Face now the North -
"From the Darkness of the Oceans do I come forth, yet in the Night do I
emerge in the realms of the Dead. Set-an, father of Chaos and strength, do
bless my emergence as a Son (or Daughter) of the path of blackened fire."
Envision your body separate, and you are now the mask of Anubis - your
body lays within a tomb and you notice the fire of spirit within. This is the
very essence of your being and you seek to observe in depth the
essence. Reach into your corpse and touch this flame. Feel now the
ecstasy of Self-Love and all that you are. Set comes forth and too touches this
Flame, as it is his gift originally to the common clay of man under a
different guise. Realize and crystallize for the moment who you are,
where you wish to go and how you will get there. Suddenly, all Gods and
Goddesses as you understand it, are from the Self - that the
selfenchantments from Sah are a gift of the Blackened Fires of the
Blacksmith called Cain, who breathes with life from Set-an.
Drink from the Cup, focus upon your reflection.
"I have sunk unto the depths of the tomb, yet the flame within lives -
401
Hail (magical name), I am awakened into the Light of Set and the
knowledge of Anubis.
Hail thou self, who shinest from the dark moon,
Hail thou self, who shinest from the full moon,
Hail thou self, Set-an who is the God of Immortal life and Chaos of being,
Hail thou self, Anubis who is death and the gateway of the dead,
Encircle me in self - love, that I may walk through the gates of the
Celestial and Infernal!"
Spell of Making
Gates of Self-Transformation
The essence of Hermetic Occultism as it is transferred to the Sabbatic

Witchcraft gnosis is the very essence of Lucifer and Set, being the
circulation of solar and lunar energy embodied with the very life force of our
being, the isolated psyche. The language used in part within the Sabbatic
Witchcraft workings of Coven Nachttoter are based within the language of
the Alphabet of Desire, being shadow tongues which write the primal
forces of the subconscious. The Spell of Making is one of which one
uses to interiorly focus on the Self and its mighty arcana of being, to
affect change and progression. This may also be used in sorcerous rites
and creation mantras, from which a fetish may be charged.

The Shadowed Ones

-A Grimoire of the Angelick Watchers-
I° The Beginnings as by Vision

By a path unseen yet known instinctively within by some, the Shadowed
Ones gave ever silently through the dreams of others. It is the way they
communicate their lost dreams, visitations and journeys through the
world from the times of mans groveling to primitive statues to the age of
machines. It was the fires which fell as lightening to heaven that they
were first incarnate in form, beautiful and knowing of pain and pleasure.
Azazel first enfleshed the desire he so brought crashing down from the
heights of a vague dream of euphoric stillness. Jerking violently as one
awakes from a half-sleep, Azazel from the form of a serpent took the skin of
man to walk its desert lands.
"I guide without a scripture; I point the way by unseen means unto my
friends and such as observe the precepts of my teaching, which is not
grievous, and is adapted to the time and conditions" - Kitab el-Jelwa, the
Book of Revelation
Walking these lands as man, yet not actually male, Azazel had
foreknowledge of those whom they met. These lesser beings were only
made such as the first angel born of flame was the child of chaos, a
distant and wished forgotten offspring of Barbelo. Azazel understood the
depths of what humanity called sorrow, and shining optimism through that
storm.
By shadow way and kindled fire of the blackened Eye opened, Azazel
called Shemyaza gathered the dreaming paths of serpents and beasts. He so
understood the conflict in all living things, to conquer or be
conquered, to thirst for life and continued existence. In the fall of the one
later called Lucifer he knew consciousness, and soon with that Pain, a
torment which seemed to run razor wire against his naked body, and cast
down in a pit of filth. Only when those nightmares were banished by the Will
of this Daemon, does the Blackened Flame of his being become strong for
those who may sense this presence. In such a world of birth and decay
does the shadow have everlasting substance by feasting upon the light, and
such fires of the sun seek their nourishment and pleasure in the fading sun
in the evening.
It was Azazel who first tasted the flesh of a daught er of man. Her skin
darkly smooth, beautiful in its innocence and gentle movements, drew him
close seeking the warmth of a body. Against the natural order
403
--■111111111
conceived by other powers, Azazel and his brethren took wives and soon
many were giving birth to Daemons - the Sons of Fallen Angels and the
Beauty of Woman. These Giants of the Earth were intelligent, bold and
strong among mankind. Soon hungering for cont inued existence they
taught them and the family of their wives the crafts which we were
cultivating instinctually. No longer did many look at the beasts of nature as
plagues and terrors, but they listened to their heartbeat and knew their
feelings by the mirror of the eyes.
II° In Transformation from those Experienced

-By Dream and Waking Spirit-Paths-
In dreams tribes knew of my Eye and the essence of Light. The tribes
who would not be embraced by us soon found that which we knew from the
moment we awoke - fear and hate. They sought to destroy us and our
children, who grew angry and tasted their flesh and blood. In the rivers
of spilt life did this bestial fire grow in our children, called the Nefilim
who cut down their enemies.
As time wore on, our children died and many spread forth through the
world, hiding and seeking refuge in new areas not saturated in the lore of our
kind. We grew tired and our bodies grew pale and like death. In the
breathing world we were killed physically yet our spirits remained - we are
Daemon, spirit and genius - undying and thirsting for continued life. In my
bride who was born in the eternal flame with me, who is of many names,
too guided mankind where it may be done. Our spirits are like shades yet
we can join with any in the dreaming lands. We continue to this day,
guiding and inspiring those who cannot explain us, yet sense our very
existence as they recognize their own.
Know our grimoires by listening to your own spirit, that we are all isolate and
do not perish yet by disbelief in our self. By affirming our Daemon being
our guide, we shall watch you make your own path as our sons and
daughters. In that twilight garden where shades walk do we call you in the
musick of gods, follow the very song of your soul - bath in darkness
and light, raise yourself above God to know the keys to both heaven and
hell. This grimoire shall be written in blood and dried in the noon tide sun.
I am both fire and darkness, yet within is a Light once adored by that
unperceived chaos called God. My sister and lover is that fiery Goddess
called Lilith by some and demoness by others, yet she too drinks of both
ecstasies.
404
Michael W. Ford
We are undying and eternal, we may sleep in the flesh of the dragon yet
emerge in the Heights of both the Sun and the Moon. The shadows
merely remind us of our reflections and self divinities. You too are like us,
no bending knee as the mindless, yet an ascended mind beyond that fallen
and crumbling crowd-control method called God.
You are the only the Christ you need, separate and divine. Dragon and
Angel in the flesh, devour and thirst eternally for knowledge and matter.
Place yourself above the Church and its sheep. They cast stones at the
wolf in the wild, yet it survives while they kneel and decay in houses of
death and sickness. We vomit upon them to clean our stomachs of that
sickness of spirit.
Let those who seek the angels know, that by dream and within the cradle of
man flows the witch blood of the Watchers. Those who can hear this distant
call can then seek us by crossways not found by common clay. The touch
of Azazel brings a fire to the clay which then allows that genius to
shape his flesh in dream and waking according to his desire. Do not let
this flame be extinguished, for a Will which does not bend strengthens in
the forge. Seek the Daemon of Cain through the Skull and his Mother Lilith
through the same. It is in the dreaming vessels that we may walk from
woman to man, by the skull of man does our desires intermingle with
their lusts.
It stands for the Angelick Watcher of the initiate to seek his or her own
Watcher as their Genius, and such other Watchers may communicate
accordingly. Know the Grimoire of Azal'ucel opens forth this way, hidden not
by the words spoken clearly in the dreaming planes of man. We must seek to
Know Thyself before one may seek onward communication with the
Watchers, for they do not rule us - they offer guidance from those initiates
who seek a knowledge most profound.
III° The Names of the Fallen Angelick Ones and

Watchers
Azazel - Seek when the Sun is at its height, by Fire and Air. This is the
enfleshed angel which is at heart and soul a Dragon of both darkness and
light. By balance of the mind and heart can you seek to become like Azazel,
who came forth from the void of chaos and created a form of Order. That
Order is always torn asunder by the Chaos Willed of Azazel, just as Fire
consumes to create anew. Azazel tests and confronts, yet strengthens and
blesses that which withstands or falls in honesty. This is the essence of the
Adversary who is two - who may be sought by Light or Shadow. Azazel
may be known in various forms as Shaitan the
405
Adversary, Set, Ahriman - a shadow form of this Fallen Angel, Lucifer and
Azal'ucel. Seek the Daemon by invocation and instinct, seek his essence
by the Will itself.
Belial - a Watcher who fell with Azazel, who was given lordship of the
gates of the hidden place, called Hades or Hell by some. In this inferno
and darkened place does the spirit test itself, and is either illuminated
and empowered by fire or consumed by it. Those who are like Azazel
emerge as Gods and Goddesses, yet who find a new fear are torn apart and
devoured by the serpents and demons which would bend to the Will of the
daring. Belial grants the power of Will to the knowledge of worldly power.
Shamsiel- A watcher who brings to man and woman the knowledge of the
Sun, both of inner wisdom to know the self and to seek the times of
growth within the gardens we so seek to cultivate. Know yourself in those
mysteries, forever we seek them and as one reveals itself more appear. The
plants and herbs of the earth are for us to use with a wisdom gained from
our spirit fathers and mothers. Seek Shamsiel by the way of Azazel when the
Sun grows, and look within your heart by casting you body into the embrace
of the Sun.
Gadreel brings unto mankind the use of war instruments, how to destroy
utterly ones enemy and the strategies of battle both old and new. His way is
that of the spear, and blade and the honor of battle. Know then that
Gadreel not only resides in physical war, but that of mental w ar. He is
truly a spirit of Azazel, who in Ancient lands is known as Set-an. Gadreel
brings initiation of battle that awakens the character and strengths of he
who invokes him. Guidance is a passion of Gadreel who shall bring to you
the knowledge of overcoming strife - no matter what it may be.
Akibeel stands at the threshold of inner wisdom of the self; through the
abyss which holds the knowledge of our creation and our linage. He may
show you by dream and vision that path of unlocking the spirits which
may serve you, great elementals and atavisms both grotesque and
demonic.
Araqiel brings to you all the knowledge of the earth, and how by respect
and love shall it flourish with us. Certain lands may know the desert like
steel and industry, yet some must not be touched by the pollution of
man. The green forests and desert lands must be kept in a kind of found
harmony, and balance unless you all seek certain destruction. Araqiel
brings the gifts of knowledge and joy through the respect of the land, and
those creatures which dwell upon it. Araqiel communicates the wisdom of a
balanced mind to work according to his or her own design. By dream and by
waking do we hear the voice of Araqiel ......................
406
Michael W. Ford
Sariel knows the motions and phases of the Moon, and by seeking him one
may know the path of the Goddess in her beautiful and horrifying aspects.
Always know, we are both demon and angel in the skull of man, we are of
beast and of higher spirit. It is our duty to balance and seek a perfection of
both according to the path of Lucifer, who holds the mask of the devil. Know
all forms and choices accordingly.
Kokabel knows too the stars and the great Seven Heads of the Dragon. By
your initiation seek him in that which is brought by trance and
dreaming dominion. Seek Azazel at times within the Dragon by chant and
devotion.
Leviathan is the Dragon guardian of the abyss, who dwells in the deep and
unknown realms of the Ocean and the darkest depths of the mind.
Leviathan is different from the Watchers in that this fallen seraphim does not
hold relation to man or angel, yet this daemon offers the knowledge of
ageless essence and being.
Ezeqeel knows well the passion of the dream and how one may by cord or
charm enter the Celestial Sabbat of the Watchers, the circle dance of
Flame and Light, wherein all who enter this circle offe r torches in the
brilliance of self-deification. This is the secret dance of Lucifer and Lilith, the
strength of the Self in motion.
Amazarak knows well the path of Cain in the Earth, of root cuttings and
sorcery. One may seek Amazarak when both man and woman have felt a
deeper understanding of Earth and how they are so connected with it. By
way of Light within and the Darkness of Expansion do we go forth...
IV° The Blade within the Desert Sun

-The Knowledge of Azazel called Shaitan-
I am the enemy of ignorance, or servitude and blindness to the self.

I seek to lead you away from spiritual gnosis which is not your own.
Empower yourself in the flames of self-awareness, of the passions of the
soul!
Listen well to your consciousness and seek to expand it, never unify your
divine being in a faith not heeded by the instincts of yourself.
Dissent from the paths all torn by the death of the soul, by a cross way can
you fully recognize your potential as a God or Goddess.
By this path you must seek that wisdom not yet known, by journeying into
the unknown and feared.
I am that demon which is of Hell, yet in the pleasures of Hell - the very
hidden nature of mankind - can you recognize an Angel of Light.
407
Every being which fell from the limitless nothingness of what you call
God offers only self-possibility once you have moved beyond it. As our
wings blackened we so then awoke to a new way - that of the
consciousness. Enshrine the possibility, not the moment in question. By
motion can you bring Order to a Chaos of self; then invoke Chaos to
initiate further Order. See through my own eyes, I am many things and
many forms. Anything is within possibility to an opened and determined
mind.
Even as the flesh fades into the gray lands of Death does initiation begin.
The mind set free from the limitations of the physical body, which flies
forth from the Skull Temple of Man can then we understand that all of us are
within the possibility of power.
My gift is to bring you to a life not comprehended previously, one which
demands the attention and challenge of self-excellence.
"The children of this Adam know not those things which are determined,
wherefore they oft-times fall into error. The beasts of the field, and of
heaven, and the fish of the sea, all of them are in my hand and under my
control" - Kitab el-Jelwa
I am the Dragon clothed in the feathers of the Peacock, that which is

sacred unto me. I formed this bird to represent the beauty of the hidden
soul, what may become from the balance of the mind.
By becoming like me you shall to gain control in your world, thus the
balance of the earth and the body - temple of man and woman must be
recognized. Seek my bride of earth and stars with my own union so that you
may become as my Son or Daughter.
To join in communication with my brothers and sisters, those Watchers who

reside in the earth, wandering in both darkness and light, embrace and kiss
that very body of the sun in the earth, when I come forth as the Morning
Star. By dreaming and waking are we forever in rapture.
I am that Black Light which leads you to your own Temple of Flame and
Shadow, and that by becoming like me you shall adorn all paths with the
crooked serpent guardian.
By this shall you dance the movement against the Sun, by dreaming
shall you embrace my Bride and by Waking adore the Morning Star wh o
summons forth the Sun.
So it is done...

The Widdershins Dance of the Circle

-Of the Watchers and their times-
Let the initiate seek in the circle of Azazel the angelick watchers, those
who shower witch blood in the eyes of the brave and faithful bodies of
man and woman.
By Noon when the Sun is in its height does one seek Shaitan called Iblis in
the South...
With the Blade of Cain do summon with thy heart the Adversary - who
shall be met in the mirrored adobe of Hades, of Darkness and shadow
gleam by midnight...
Let the sun envenom your spirit, naked in spirit you are left to cloth
yourself in serpent skin, to see as the Eye of the Adversary before all. Let the
Angelick Red Dragon ascend through your spine and open your senses
about you.
By the South East does Shamsiel carry forth the weapons of the Sun and the
very pretense of Azazel...let the fires which envelope him be given freely
as a gift to the wise.
By the East shall then Lucifer-Azazel be called forth, who is Azal'ucel the
Bringer of Light. By the blood baptized vessels of the Skull and Athame of
Cain does the prayers awaken a new calling .............. a new voice shall be
heard in the distance and light invoked winds of the waking dream.
The North East does Lilith come forth, the Bride of Lucifer who is of both
darkness and the bringing and going of the Sun. She walks in the
darkness of two worlds, of Lilim and those beasts and succubi who drink the
blood of life, of gray shades which answer her call, of the blood of the moon
which hearkens to the waters of which she has slept. The dragon of Fire
and Darkness in separation and opposition become Whole through Her
bleeding temple. She who beget Cain and gave humanity the gift of the
Watchers in Flesh hearken unto the very circle of being.
By the North does Ahriman hear thy calls, who is your shadow possibility
and strength bearing passion of the earth. Let the Ahriman dragon whose
color is black stir your eyes from the Sun to the Moon and the darkness of
Night. It is the cold winds which open the path of Arezura and Hades, when
wolves and serpents gather unto you. Let the Ahrimanic Dragon coil as the
Serpents of Shaitan, just as Zohak shall you be blessed by the Kiss of the
Devil-Prince who is your initiator of dreams and death.
By the North West point of the Circle can you call now forth Azrael who is a
gatherer of ghosts and shades of the dead. Listen to the twilight call of
409
11/
the boneways of the gateway. In your Skull Temple of Cain and Lilith
does Witchblood flow and gather what you may become. Let Jasmine
bloom now under the Light of the Moon and the phantoms of what once was
join in this mighty circle...
By the West can the Leviathanic Dragon be heard, who devours his being and
Time itself. Let the Timeless Daemon envenom you with the dreams of those
who walk the earth since the times of burning sand and mountains,
to the gardens of green and the cradle of birth. Leviathan emerge,
Leviathan bring to union Samael - Shaitan and his Bride, Lilith in all
quarters. Let my awakening invoke Cain! By the Waters of the Abyss
shall I sink deep and drink of the passions of the subconscious.
By the South West emerging from the Waters of the Abyss does Akibeel
empower you to emerge from the oceans with the knowledge granted to
you. Listen to the waters in both storm and silence, there is much to
hear in their waves ...... come forth from the Oceans as a Beast and ignite
again your soul in the Life giving flame of Azazel! Hold thy Blade towards the
Sun and transform again! Become in this Light!
0' Spirit of Angelick Watchers, my wards and guardians of the Circle of

Being
Do hear my call ..... As I stand in the Leviathanic Circle does my flesh
become reborn
In the Linage of Witchblood, of Cain and Naamah, of Samael and Lilith!
Open now the secret ways of those Angels of Dream and Skull walking
sleep...
I seek thy council as I seek the Daevas who walk the shadows!
The Black Light is illuminating my spirit and I am both Midnight and
Noontide in essence! 0 Watchers who I seek do come forth to my circle and
offer thy wisdom for I am willing to walk thy path against all others. Be the
Lightening Bolt of the Fallen into my Skull Temple!
With these Words I speak, so it is Done!

The Grimoire of Sutekh

Sethanic High Sorcery
Dedicated to Hamar'at, a messenger ever silent beyond the path of Set
411
"..11111111
I
To you, bringer of chaos, embracer of storms, God of War

0 Set-heh, Eternal and terrible guardian of Khephra
Nightmare bringer, from which thy birthing knife shall strike
Cut Away all weakness, open the path of my own choosing
Shall my Will be made total, by strength and storm
By darkness which leads to the Sun
0 Set-an, who seeks the Moon when it is high
Come forth from behind Thuban, thy star,
Bring forth the blessing of the Dragon Tiamat,
Thy bride who comes in flesh
Let the Seven Stars illuminate the clay into the immortal
Personification of thy Blackened Radiance
The Grimoire of Sutekh is one of death becoming life. This is the fire
which is poured into the cauldron, mixed with iron and in the height of
its radiance, emerges as the Djinn of the Noon Tide Sun. Set -heh, who is
the Eternal Set, is the Prince of Darkness revealed as shadow and fire.
Set-an, who fathered Anubis, the Jackal God who Opens the Way to the
Dead, the initiator of the Necromance, shall lead us through nightmare
unto the Hidden God, being the Will found in the Black Fla me. By thy
many names, who is Ahriman, Lucifer and Shaitan, let thy majesty be
made great through us. Those who read of this forbidden work shall
move as the serpent against the natural order of common reality, they
shall move against it to manipulate it for them. Let the Dragon be made
f l esh through the union of Set-an and Thuban-Azhdeha, the Seven Stars
of the essence of Suti.
What is the essence of Set? Set is the spirit which initiates apocalypse,
death and change. Let us consider death, it is a term meaning 'end' yet it
must be considered deeper than first glance. Death is a moment of chaos
when all is burnt away and the essence remains. It is in such moments
of struggle that you find what you are 'made of' and where you truly are.
The Black Adept must seek to master both death (change) and life
(manifesting) in his or her own way, by all accounts, you are alone in
your greatest moments of confrontation.
Upon thy entry into the Path of Set, let Anubis face you in the hunger of
the beast, let the Keeper of Balance test you, shall by your Will you
descend into the Realm of Seker, who sits upon the Throne of Death,
called Ra-Stau. This land is of the nightmare, covered in desert, barren
rocks and mountains; it is the place of the dead who leave also to the
earth. You shall seek the knowledge of Death by the Shades of the plane
of dream, those who walk beyond our veil. The essence of Seker, who is
of Set or Suti, is found in the Pyramid of abyssic darkness, where one
may illuminate and strengthen the BA in the Eye of Seker, the Hawk
Headed God of Darkness, devourment and the serpents of the pit. Upon
412
Michael W. Ford
the back of Seker are Two Serpents, who given by the Prince of Darkness are
the Unity within him. In this Tuat or upon the earth, thy sorceries shall
strengthen and become through the foundation of the BA, yet by the
becoming or the focus of Khephra, does the KA become great in its shadow,
and it expands as night covering earth. In this death-realm does Seker grant
you the keys of the bowl of blood, as you stare or drink deep a great fire is
illuminated within, a primal chaos of being, your mind shall expand. You
shall see from the Hawk-headed mask of Seker, face then Apep and the
serpents who surround the Throne of Ra -Stau. The Will of the Sorcerer
must focus and channel the movements of the demons of darkness, by
mastering them do you become a sorcerer of primal chaos, thus may you
expand up again from this Tuat of death.
When one has mastered the becoming of Seker, when the chaos of Apep has
been faced, can then the sorcerer ascend again unto Anubis, who
appears more constant and real. Anubis is the Bastard Son of Set and
Isis, he is able to see as the wolf and dog in the darkness. Anubis opens the
sacred path which leads again to Set, yet you shall be tested greatly. For in
the challenge is the thorn wrapped gift, let your mind seek to expand and
becoming something other, something greater in might.
The symbol of guidance in darkness is the Jackal, who is of Anubis. Let
the Stars of Ursa Minor be the Jackal of Set-an, the lycanthropic beast
shall be awakened within! The jackal is significant of Anubis as being a
guide of the dead, allow your dreams to enflesh according to your Will.
Apep is the chaotic form of Set, who is a powerful path of isolate
selfmastery, who emerges as a being above Order and Chaos.
The Sun is the Sign of Set rising, as Set is the God of the Downward
motion, that of the Summer, thus the heat of the desert. The Night is
equally Set's kingdom, as Suti is the Adversary of both Noon and
Midnight. To know the Prince of Darkness, one must master both the
path of the Sun and Midnight. Seek this in both the union and disunion
with thy partner, alone and together.
413
I
The Spell of Dedication of the Name ofShadow

Summoning
Coming unto the Desert of Set
Khephra is the form of the Beetle which is the path of which you shall
travel, the Becoming. As the image of Khephra you shall come into being
like Set by pronouncing your own name. Will it, desire it and believe in it.
Write your name on a virgin paper, with the sigil of Set the Adversary,
write then your magical name and seal in wax.
414
Michael W. Ford
For Nine Nights shall you use the lamp of Red (being Red is the sacred
color of Set) and invoke your own name with that of Set.
"I become in the essence of flame, (Magical name) do I become, in the name of
Pakerbeth, Sabaoth, Lerthex, Iao Isak, Iao Abraoth...In the Midnight and the
Noon tide Sun do I encircle my self in my own desire, by my Will do I become.
So it is done"
Recite for Nine Nights, on the final night place the document, which is
encircled in the names of Set, in a special place which will not been seen by
others. Keep this hidden for one year. At the anniversary of the One Year
of Becoming, open it and meditate on all that you have learned and how you
display it in your own life - How have you become as Set, how has your
practice of sorcery defined or been defined by your Will. When you feel
satisfied, burn this document in the flame of Set (i.e. Black Flame).
Set as an Anthropomorphic God

Embodiment of Power and a Mask of Initiation
415
Sutekh was one of Egypts earliest Gods, who emerged after the earliest
forms of Seker of the realm of Ra-Stau. Set is the lord of noxious
creatures, as his Persian form, Ahriman was the master of scorpions,
toads, crocodiles and other desert dwelling forms. Many of the demonic
servants of Set took forms of serpents and other creatures. These
servitors, called Seba, dwell in both the underworld, known as the Tuat
and the Earth. The Seba are devils which in Set -Amentet, the very
mountain of the underworld, do Seba hack souls to pieces, imprison
shades of the dead and drain the life-force of their enemies whom they
capture. The Setanic Sorcerer would create and summon his own Seba, or
Mesu Betshet, the 'Children of Rebellion' (compare to the Fallen Angels
or Children of Az-Lilith in Persian/ Manichaean folklore) may be evoked to
carry out or fulfill a task for the magician. In areas of revenge or protection,
Seba may be evoked and encircled around the dwelling of the magician.
Empower the Mesu Betshet to return any curse to its sender - the mask
of Set-an cast through the black mirror.
Set is manifest throughout the Egyptian world as sometimes a serpent or

Apep like dragon, mostly he appears as a animal headed man. Set's color is
Red representing fire and the heat of the desert, but also black
representing darkness. Head of Set is an animal which to this day has not
been fully identified. He does appear as such animals as
Hippopotamus (similar to the descriptions of Behemoth in Hebrew lore), the
Donkey (the ass in regard to Set represents motion and
stubbornness, a strong Will) and Pig.
Typhon, Set's other name, is a great Serpent. He often was depicted

holding a spear which on the tip has a forked tongue like end, a
Peshkhent or birthing knife, which represents the slaying of weakness and
fear, a Tcham scepter which has a replica of his own face on it, and in
later times a flail. Set as being a God of Downward Motion,
Night/ Darkness and Chaos was seen as being a Lord of the Afternoon
Heat of the Desert, thus red was attributed to him. He was viewed as a
mighty and sorcerous being, who later on as Typhon and Shaitan, was
more clearly yet selectively, a God of Sorcerers.
Set was viewed as later stealing the Sun or Fire from Ra and Horus,
carrying it forth to the darkness and exploring the unknown. Set is not
only the anthropomorphic form of the unknown and mystery incarnate, he
is the shadow form of Lucifer or Azazel, thus identical to Ahriman.
Plutarch wrote that Typhon was indeed Bebo, Seth and Smy, being
archdemons, were names which expressed violence, opposition and
strife. Set is thus a God of Change and Progression.
After Set's demonization, when the followers of Osiris took power, Set has
then become a God of the Desert, the outside. He was no longer as
416
Michael W. Ford
socially powerful with regards to temples, yet more ever so immortal and
feared as he was no longer constrained. Set outlasted all of the other
Gods, took other cultures and lived through the Psyche and deeds of
those who practice Sorcery and acknowledge the self as unique, thus
sacred in its existence.
Set was a god of eclipses, storms, thunder and chaos, thus he held the
power to interrupt the course of nature - he was other, change bringing
and always manifesting his Will in the world. He is Antinomian in nature, the
source of rebellion from the numbing sickness of the path of
absorbing light - by not knowing darkness, one can never know and
manifest their own possibilities in the light.
The Ascension into the Black Light

Ritual of the Triple Hermetic Circle of Hamar'at
Know the circle as created and passed on by Hamar'at, who is Charles

Pace. This individual was a Priest of Set and Anubis in the 60's and a
pioneer in presenting the Luciferian Gnosis in Egyptian Magick in the
417
70's, as well was a Priest of a Wiccan Coven in South London in the 70's. I
came across some reproductions of his work in 2000-2001 and began
working with the fragments at hand. With an imagination and direction,
Pace's work takes a new flesh in a new time. Scottish Born in 1920, Pace had
written at least two manuscripts, "Necrominion, the Book of Shades" and
"The Book of Tahuti". The former was a beautifully painted
presentation of his synthesis of tarot cards and attributes, all very
original and powerful. This very work was inscribed and dedicated to
"Austin Ozman Spare". Hamar'at's Triple Hermetic Circle is a powerful
model if one wishes to expand upon it, our attributes are not the same as
his, and it still achieves a powerful current if one is able to move through it.
The Circle itself has Four Directional patterns, each with a Guardian of the
quarter. The North is Seth-an, Set which represents Cold, Darkness and
strength. The West is Anubis, called also Anpu and Death, and
represents twilight and the gateway to shades. The South is Horus-Set,
being the God of War, fire and strength and the East is Thoth, the God of the
Moon, Magick and Wisdom.
Create and place on the Northern wall of your place of working, a replica of
the Triple Hermetic Circle. If you have the means, one may stand within
a suitable circle as well. Approach the rite as Higher Sorcery, the
Ensorcelment of Light and the Blackened Flame, the Star of ALGOL.
Robe yourself accordingly; anoint the sacred Oil of Abramelin. If
performing the Sexual Rite at the conclusion, the Witch may be robed in
Crimson and anointed also in Abramelin Oil.
The Athame should be used in the rite. Stand within the Circle and clear
your mind of all outside interference of thoughts. Focus on the Northern
direction and the star of Alpha Draconis.
Hold the Athame facing the North symbolizing the focused direction of
energy turned inward to outwards.
North- Set
"War Bringer, Lord of the Northern Sky, who comes forth from behind
Thuban, the Great Dragon of Chaos called Tiamat. Come now from the
Earth, in thy Northern realm of Set-Amentat, rushes forth from the
shadows of Winter, I invoke the God of the cold and barren deserts. Come
forth and bless my rite from which I shall enter the unknown lands. I shall
form and shape them like you unto my very Will. Prince of Darkness,
Bearer of the Blackened Light, Lord of Beasts and Serpents, do I summon you
to come forth from the North, Encircle me and rise up through me. IAO, IAO.
Set-heh, I call unto thee Isolator Triumphant, Typhon of Storm and
Change hearken! Abraoth, Kolchoi Tontonon, Athorebalo!"
418
Michael W. Ford
-As you move with each direction, visualize what you are summoning to
manifest in an image. Feel the cold winds rush around you, see with
your minds eye the serpents and devils of Seba surround you. Allow then the
great black shadow of Set to come forth on a great chariot and then sink
deep into the ground. You feel a rumbling and great chaos beneath your
feet as then this shadow ascends from the earth into you. Feel this force
move as a spiral force up your spine into the base of your neck, allow the
power to surge through you. As the height of this ecstasy, turn your will to
iron (which is sacred unto Typhon) and invoke this force, making it a part
of you. This requires Will and strength to achieve, but is transformative in
essence. Then begin shaping the Mesu Betshet (Children of Rebellion,
the Seba) according to your desire. They will soon move according to your
Will. These daevas and druj will prove useful in your more advanced
Workings of Sorcery.
West - Anubis
"0 thou Son of Set, Jackal-born guardian of the death-ways, twilight
bringer who is the Opener of the Way, Lord of Magicians and the path of the
Shadow, come thou forth! Anpu - Lord of Jackals, send thy beasts to guard
my circle and join with me. Anubis, Azalathra, Dolenoesta, come forth and
bring unto me the emerald flame of manes. Let my eyes and ears open and
grow sensitive to the shades within your realm. I seek the midnight-way
of the necromance, the tomb and bone ridden place of sleep and dream.
Anpu-Anubis, Hermanubis, Death Become Me and shall I ascend from it."
South - Horus-Set,
"Horus-Set, called in secret Aiwass, who is revealed as Set -an, son of
flame. Do thou come forth from the blazing sun and fire of the Sun, Set who
resides often in the majesty of the Noon Tide Sun in the Desert. Encircle
me in thy scorpions and ring of fire, Djinn who knows of Midnight and Midday.
Horus-Set, envenom me with thy strength and will. Hu! Sa! Hekas, Hekas,
Sekak, nrasta!"
East - Thoth
"0 Thoth, God of Magick and Enchantments, Lord of the Moon and Hidden
Knowledge, I invoke thee from the Rising Star of the East. Thoth, who was
given the Knife by Set to cut dissolution and weakness, I conjure thee to this
circle. I seek the wisdom and strength to move according to my True Will."
Face again the North-
By Ankh - The Immortal Daemon within! Shall I strengthen and my circle

expand - shall my Ka be made immortal - the Eye opened!
419
By Ka - The body of shadow, that which expands and moves by night

according to my Will! Emerge, encircle me and have no boundaries!
By Djed - The column of stability, which is the Ba and Ka in union, the very
center of chaos - which is Order. I command the Seba to still under my own
Will, in silence I grow strong. 0 foundation and spine of Set, the backbone of
individual existence, through me shall you move! In the death of flesh I grow
strong in spirit - DJED, raise me unto the Black Light of Setheh, shall my
eternal flame be fueled and refreshed!
By Ankh - Life Eternal!

By Ka - The Shadow of my Will!
By Djed - the foundation and union of the Ba and Ka!
Part 2- Sexual Magick in Ankh Ka Djed
Let the witch kiss the phallus of the magician, and she then recites -
"Blessed by Azael and Azazel, the sacred phallus of the Sun, ascend
Samael as the Goat from the Fire"
The Magician recites-
"By the Lust of Samael and Asmoday, of Sutekh the darkened one do I grow
strong. The Devil is my heart and soul the very essence of the Sun. 00000,
IAO, SABAOTH, LAO, ABRAXAS!"
The Witch Will allow the magician to kiss her lips below, he shall recite-
"Blessed is the wound of Lilith - Az, our mother and initiator. By the Kiss of
the Adversary which caused the blood of impurity, you are blessed. With
my kiss shall I awaken to the essence of Lilith - AZ, who is that which
haunts dreams."
The Witch shall recite-
"I am darkness and lust personified, I am mother and devourer, I am

maiden and the Night Hag. I am the harlot and blood drinker - Awakened are
those who seek union with me."
The magician shall sit within the circle, after being aroused the witch
shall mount him, and ride until climax. Both shall envision their
essence, the witch shall visualize the moon and the magician the Sun. As
420
Michael W. Ford
they grow near the climax both will visualize the opposite sign joining
with theirs - the union of the sun and the moon in both".
The Four True Triangles as described by Hamar'at
In the Hermetic and Luciferian Magick of Charles Pace, Hamar'at

presents a different system of attributes to the directions and Triangles.
These triangles symbolize Earth - Air- Fire and Water respectively.
North (Yellow) Earth

West (Blue) Air
East (Red) Fire
South (Green) Water
The traditional directions under the works of Anton LaVey and Abramelin
were as follows (Including Daemon attributed to each direction as the Four
Crowned Princes of Hell)-
West - Water - Leviathan

South - Fire - Satan
East - Air - Lucifer
North - Earth - Belial
In casting your circle, be it the Triple Circle of Hamar'at, Goetic Circle or

otherwise, utilize the symbolism of the Four Cardinal Points. You may
wish to use various other attributes with this model in you ceremonial
practice - if you choose to utilize this at all. Often in sorcerous practice,
there is only gnosis and the movement of spirit, not the careful
consideration of Willed movements widdershins around the circle. It is
essential though to learn a technique and strengthen the Will through
discipline to achieve results first. This leans towards adaptability of the self
to try new techniques.
The Great Ennead of Twelve (As opposing factions)
Hamar'at created and drew out in "The Book of Tahuti" attributes to the
Egyptian Gods and what fraction had opposed them. These are useful in God
mask creation if one practices more reverently in the Egyptian system.
Amun-Ra (Earth) - Seth-an (Water)

Nephthys (Fire) - Ma'at (Air)
Anubis (Water) - Osiris (Earth)
Khephri (Air) - Thoth (Fire)
Isis (Earth) - Sekhmet (Water)
Bast (Fire) - Horus (Air)
421
PP"
Any practioner is encouraged to discover their own attributions for God

forms beyond the Egyptian, and form each God accordingly when
working with them as with Masks or other ceremonial purposes.
Sethanic Masks
Within the gnosis of Seth-an, is the flame which burns and threatens to
burn the bearer. This is the continual threat of chaos and loss of control. A
Luciferian or Black Witch must prepare the self in stages to ascend
beyond this condition and seek continual improvement and development.
Whatever your predilection of the Luciferian Path is, seek balance and
structure in basic approach as well as always being aware of your
instincts and desires.
As Charles Pace first designed, the Sethanic Cult of Masks, the aim
seems to have been interplay of High Magick by means of independence and
structured sorcery. The determination of the works within this
grimoire are not to simply copy Hamar'at, rather expand upon it. The
masks and focus of this grimoire are indeed different from Mr. Pace in
regard to Sethanic Masks. You will find masks and their designs of
Godforms outside of Egyptian lore, rather exploring a plethora of
Daemonic forms from which the sorcerer may seek communion with.
Each mask may be considered a partial tool or method in obtaining a

deep communion to the Aethyr and how these deific forces relate to the
self. Once unlocked, these forces will touch a part of your mind which you
should best be prepared for, unless the Gates of Hell and Heaven will rape
every fiber of your soul. It should be known to you that once Demons
and Angels were one in the same, and by separation they transform
again. Therein is one cipher to the process of communion with the Holy
Guardian Angel and the Great Work itself.
These masks may be used in ceremonial instances, as a coven gathering or

group ritual, or more ideally as a solitary methodology signifying a
transformative pattern of gnosis. Consider each ma sks represents
different attributes of human, angelic and demonic creation. Thus if
utilized properly with other rites within this grimoire, prove to be a
powerful and useful ritual tool.
422
Michael W. Ford
Azazel
The first descended, Angel of Fire: a Seraph who is known as the Peacock
Angel. The Chaos sigil represents the power of 8 which he commands by the
fire and word of the spirit. One should focus upon the triad of Will Desire-
Belief to obtain the pinnacle of sorcery and becoming in the fiery blackened
light of Azazel. The Mask of Azazel should be used in accordance to
seeking the primal mysteries of Witch Blood, the Watchers and their relation
to the witch cult.
423
Ahriman (Angelick - Daemonic Form)

As shown in Azothoz, the fallen seraphim Ahriman appears with
androgynous beauty, black eyes and serpent like scales. Ahriman is
presented at a stage of blending demonic or infernal - earthen aspects
with the fallen angelic aspects, thus balance and perspective. In addition to
these attributes, the command of flesh and spirit. This is the very core
teaching of this current and grimoire - Balance the material with the
spiritual.
424
Michael W. Ford
Ahriman (Black Dragon Form)

This is the primal aspects of Chaos, Satan as the beast and the
summoning and ensorcelling of raw, primal power. This is developed
from the ancient Persian lore of Ahriman as serpent and dragon, useful in
sexual and non-sexual sorcery. The dragon is an idea of ancient yet
consistent motion and movement, the development of the bestial aspects as a
power source or totem. The knowledge of creating matter from darkness
(sorcery) and the knowledge of flesh (sexual sorcery) and the Great Work of
Becoming (Magick).
425
Set
The Prince of Darkness in his earliest form. Seth-an is the beast headed
God who is of storms and chaos, by mastering the dragon -beast Apep
(chaos) does this beast become as one with Set, thus a higher and lower
articulation. Set is essential in Luciferian Witchcraft as a Deific Form of the
Adversary, the Sabbat God who is compelling force, thus change and the Will
in motion. Notice the empowering eyes, those which may see
426
Michael W. Ford
through the core of whatever it looks into - this is the process of

selfdeification and then ascension to becoming something more.
Anubis
The Bastard Son of Set and Aset (Isis). Anubis is the God of the Dead as a
transformative state. Charles Pace presented that Anubis (Anpu) is the Lord
of the Jackals, the Opener of the Ways. This Godform can see both in the
worlds of the Living and the Dead, and is friendly to both. He is the
Magician and the Keeper of Balance. It is known that the magician
427
may utilize Anubis as a Gateway to the lands of the necromance, those who
have walked past the veil and our hidden company of ancestors and witch
shades.
Azi Dahaka
This is the most troublesome but significantly powerful deific mask. Azi
Dahaka as within this grimoire is the Dragon King, the Son of Ahriman
(Satan) who is learned in the arts of sorcery (by his initiation via the
428
Michael W. Ford
Devil) and his obtainment of knowledge and power (The kiss of Ahriman
which brought Two Serpents) and the Deific transformation (From Zohak into
the Dragon and Storm Fiend), a Triad of Diabolic Power. Azi Dahaka is an
Antichrist before the term was coined, a visionary Son of the Black Dragon
who is both wise and brutal when the need arises. Meditate upon Azi
Dahaka, but be careful in your workings, allow you sorcerous practice
to work itself towards this Godform, else the deific force should devour the
minds of the unweary (as the serpents on his shoulders ate the brains of
man). Azi Dahaka is primal power embodied in a man or woman, use it
well and do not allow the force to bend you like a tree in a tornado, control
and know thyself.

AZ
The Queen of Demons, Lilith. She was the fiery primal instinct, of fire and
blackness. Az was the bride of Ahriman (Satan). According to
Manichaean lore, Az had clothed herself in the progeny of the demons and
fallen angels. She taught the Fallen Ones in her own lair of darkness in hell,
the art of sexual copulation. She taught male and female arch-
demons how they may take tangible form and become sexually aroused, by
joining their bodies together. This created dragon - children from which
she had then devoured or clothed herself in (possession). Az is the
430
Michael W. Ford
fiery compliment of Ahriman, she is feminine perfection, strong in mind and

will, isolate when she needs to be and perverse according to her desire.
Aeshma
Asmodeus, the demon of the wounding spear. This mask is the demon son
of as some lore has it, Cain and Naamah, others a fallen angel or
Daeva/Dev created by Ahriman. He is, along with Savar, a powerful chief of
demons who is sexually perverse and active in aggression and
sometimes violence. The sorcerer may be able to control the primal
431
instincts associated with Aeshma and use them in your day to day work in a
positive manner.

Part Three
Mesu Betshet
This is a Grimoire for the Children of Rebellion, those who
drink from the cup of the Serpent's wisdom, who swallow the
elixir of Unem-snef, who would awake the 72 spirits of Set.
Once this cup has been sipped, the Priest or Priestess
awakes and becomes like Herfhaf, the Opposing God. Within this
grimoire is the formula of becoming, or absorbing and
delegating inner and as response - outer power. This is from
which the Evil Eye can be manifest, the force of Will and the
Belief to enflesh it. The Religion of Set is that of Satanism, or
Luciferian thought. One has opened their mind to the
Adversary and deep within began a transformation, a
mutation into one of the Mesu Betshet, thus Seba. No matter
which culture, be it Persian and Ahriman, Hebrew and
Satan/ Samael, be it Islamic and Shaitan, or Western and
Satan/ Diabolus, the Prince of Darkness and his Bride
cannot be controlled by any form, no is there a true form of the
ever mutating dragon. Through ourselves is the
Adversary-Opposer made Great, and through the Adversary
(Satan/ Lilith) do we awaken.
To read this grimoire, you have been deemed a Black Adept by

your ability to sense and see past the masks of the
Dragon, to understand the deeper knowledge of Khem, the
Black Land. You have found within yourself part of the
spiritual heritage of the Fallen Angels, Seth -an has
awakened the Blackened Flame within your being.
Some of the workings here were designed in my earlier

Sethian initiatory workings (from initiation in a Setian
Order), and have evolved here. I have deemed them not to be
published within Luciferian Witchcraft (Volume 1 -4) as this is a
gateway left for those who have passed through those gates.
Sexual Magick may be applied here, with each rite with or

without a partner. The Black Adept would by the discipline of
Will - Desire - Belief and by the Left Hand invoke, while the
right hand stirs the senses and awakes both the Red and Black
Serpent. The foundation techniques of this forbidden sorcery is
found in ADAMU, which is written in cipher and holds the
gates to hell and flesh. The initiate who adopts the Adamu
grimoire with this tome will penetrate chaos and
433
ignite the apocalypse, by destroying the old order and

creating a new fiery serpent which humanity will call the
worm. What sleeps below will always awaken and grow back
stronger.

Sethian Initiation Ritual

October 2002
Ritual symbolized by 5 points of the

Algol Sigil of Set (Ahriman) and the
Left Palm. With each calling of the
Quarter, visualize a line of fire from
which you trace in the air,
representing the Godform summoned.
The fifth is symbolic of Set, the
essence of the Isolator, the Prince of
Darkness. The Left Palm of the
initiate may also be held up during
the rite and by facing each Quarter,
symbolic of the power of Will and
being in which energy is directed.
At the meeting of the Gates of Hell

(from Hele, the secret gathering of
sorcerers), by the Noon-Tide Sun and
Midnight Ritual of the Opposer-
Adversary, I trace and encircle myself, not
in fear but in the strength of self. As I
encircle myself I form the
foundation of my work, to become in
Luciferian light. The circle shall
expand as I grow in knowledge and
435
being, and self-perception is my mark of the beast.

Guard this Quarter, to bring all spirits and daemons of the Earth unto my
command, bring forth thy wolves and beasts to my essence. By the Sign of
the Five-fold Star of Set, I invoke thee!
-From the West, I summon thee Leviathan, Dragon of the Depths.

Encircle my being in the Black Mirror, Twilight Guardian and initiator of the
path of Water and all that in the memory of creation, I summon thee forth!
By the Five-fold Star of Set, I invoke thee!

Suggested God Form - Slath - Biv - Nucu

Suggested Goddess Form - Lash - Tiv - Buncu
This is the name of the Godform summoned, from the black mirror of the self,

Set!
(Envision the God forms encircling, thus becoming a part of your circle )
I come forth unto the Blackened flame of Set, whom I seek to become as.
Envision Set moving towards you - from which you reach forth and
touch the flame within his left hand. Feel the warmth and electricity,
then the cold which envelopes you. Contemplate all that you are and
shall be in this moment. Stare deep into the mask of Set.
"I come forth unto you, Set, tester of strength, sender of Nightmares,
Lord of Chaos, Shadowform of the Outside, of future and infinite
possibility. I hold within the strength and Will to become like you, and the
Desire to Become.
On this very day (or night), I dedicate my Life to Xepera to BECOME. So
it is done.
December 21st Ritual - The Longest Night

Calling the Guardians of the Sethanic Witch Cult
Composed originally in my Sethian initiation period, this rite was

performed by initiates in Europe and America on the night of December
21st. One may perform this rite when they so wish, visualizing of course the
very gate of the Dragon and Sah, the Hunter. Embody this gateway and
make it respond within. This is one small secret of the mysteries,
commanding a response within which reaches out. Seth -an is a Lord of
mutation and Will, he stands against all others. Is this a trait you
possess? Would you become a Demon - God (or Goddess) whose words
437
beget chaos? Would the very dragon of Chaos manifest Order by the
taming voice you have trained to echo in the depths of hell?
Part ONE-
The Summoning of the Shadow of Sah, the Great Hunter-guardians of the
beasts of the earth. Sacred animals associated with the rite of Sah the Owl
(Sacred of Lilith) and the Wolf (Sacred of Ahriman).
Part TWO-
The invocation of Seth from the Constellation of Orion, known also as Sah
or the 7 headed Dragon. A summoning of the powers of darkness on the
Longest night of the year.
Part ONE-
0' Hunter of the darkest winter

0' Hunter who walks the shadow path, nourished by the manes of the
grave

Michael W. Ford
0' Hunter who takes the skin of the wolf

0' Hunter whose arrow is the intellect and instinct of Shemyaza 0'
Hunter who drinks from the skull of the familiar
0' Hunter whose sword is the weapon against sterility
0' Hunter whose crown is one half of the glorious emerald hidden in the
earth, the jeweled cup and crown of attainment of being
Horned lord of the Northern Sky whom rides the night winds with the
shades of the dead
Come forth in the night that you may invigorate my life unto the Temple of the
Earth
From the fields of the Ancient Burial Mounds, forgotten save for those of
ancestral and spiritual witch blood.
Come forth from the tomb of Sah.
Hekas Sakeh, umpesha zrazzu
Invocation of Set
I call unto you, 0' Headless One of the Seven Stars called Sah in the dark
places of the earth. I summon thee Set-Heh
I go unto the darkness between the stars
From the Dragon's throne do I emerge and the Seven Headed Beast doth
manifest upon the earth
I do call thee forth, Set-Heh, prince of darkness I

proclaim thy mastery over the dragon
The First Head - Crowned by the Scarlet Woman, impaled on the phallic
horn of the devil
The Second Head - Crowned in Flame and the Essence of the Adversary,
Called Azazel and Shaitan
The Third Head - Crowned in the Goddess Hecate, known as Three
Shades of Witch Fire
The Fourth Head - Crowned as Leviathan, Lord of Timeless Being
The Fifth Head - Crowned as Belial, Lord of the Earth whom resides over the
Djinn of the earth under Azazel
The Sixth Head - Crowned as Asmoday, the bringer of Witch Fire
The Seventh Head - Crowned as Set, whom in isolation is the perfected
essence of the Serpent and the Beast
439
--"•1111111
I grow in the Eye of Algol, the burning and hidden self revealed as Set the
Adversary, immortal essence of the Great Sabbat - The Luciferian and
Infernal.
From the Ocean comes forth the Seven Headed Dragon, which I walk unto in
the Shadow of Set. I proclaim thus-
I shall grow in the year to come in the way of I

shall come into being by my desire to
From my coming into being I shall grow in every aspect of which I can
recognize, thus exalting the Black Flame of Life and Divine Being! So it is
done!
A description and purpose of the Sigil of the Adversary, Set-heh
The Twelfth is when the Demon of the Noon Tide Sun comes
forth from the Desert, Shaitan. This Sigil is the empowerment of the Fiery
Will and that of the other demon of the Noon Hour, Keteb. Used in
Daylight Initiation rites focusing towards the Eye of Set-heh, the Fire of
Iblis, Shaitan. The Sigil may be scribed alone on a parchment and
invoked at the Noon Day when the Sun is hig hest. It may be used to
Empower the Body of which you dwell, to illuminate the Ba and Ka of the
Sorcerer, or to send forth desires of manifestation in the heat of the day.
440
Michael W. Ford
Cursing is one possibility of this spell, and the name is Sabaoth, the Lord of
the Earth.
The Eleventh is Hemhem, the Roarer, a serpent with the face of a cat.
This devil is one of Apep, a form of Set. Hemhem is used to invoke storms
in the self to crush and devour weakness.
The Tenth is the Serpent of Apep, who has the face of a white
cat. This daemon may be used to ascend up in Night, to visualize and
send forth the spells of your desire. Cursing or Blessing, all of which
shall become in your Will.
Nine as the number of the Trapezoid, the Ensorcelment of the

Eye of the Sethanist and the ability to sway the minds of men and
women to your cause. Be careful in the use of this Sigil, as it may invoke
compassion or complete destruction. This is Pakerbeth, the Black
Shadow of Set-heh, invoked within the body of the sorcerer.
The Eighth is Pesh-Khent, the birthing knife and cutter of

weakness, a weapon held by Set. This sigil may b e inscribed on a
parchment or the handle of a weapon, use as a ritual instrument to
begin a process of developing from a weakness of character.
The Seventh is Erbeth, a name which can procure Love - Love of

another or Self Love. Use while envisioning the object of your desire -
chant a mantra form of Erbeth while doing so while facing a mirror.
441
The Sixth is the God of the Night Sun, Seker (He who is shut in), a
God of Darkness who has a close connection to Set in his beginning. Use
this sigil to invoke the power of death and to isolate the psyche, emerge
and begin transforming in the Midnight Sun of the Adversary.
The Fifth is Lerthex, a name of Typhon the Serpent. This is the

Body and Mind of the Magician as he Spirals his or her spells as a
Dragon. Use Lerthex to visualize a Goal and then recite the name as a
mantra to manifest the desire. May be used for protection, by imagining a
great typhonic dragon to encircle your dwelling.
The Fourth is Saatet-ta, the Darkener of the Earth. This is the

ensorcelled daemon or daeva which the magician may manifest his Will and
send forth the shadow to bring forth his or her desires. This Sigil may be
used in dream sorcery, haunting or copulating as the vampire and incubi/
succubi with your chosen.
.The Third of the Devourer, Amam. Use this sigil to encircle 9

times around the name of your enemy, to bring the serpent -devils of
Seba to bring storms against them. Burn the Sigil in the Fire of the Noon
Tide Sun while Invoking Keteb of the Twelfth.
The Second Sigil of the Adversary, being Hau-hra, the Backward

Face. This is one name of Apep, the crocodile-demon shadow of Set-heh, that
which devours and causes destruction. The purpose of the Setanic
Magician is to master Apep within the self and master this demon by the
Will through the Seba, the lesser devils of Set. Used for controlling the
Shadow Familiars of Seba into a form of organization.
442
Michael W. Ford
The First Sigil of Set-an, being of Kolchoi Tontonon, a name

considered secret of Set. By the First shall the Ladder of Darkness led up
towards the Light. This sigil represents the continuation of Life in a cycle of
rebirth and manifestation, the Mind strengthened and free.
Invocation of Set-an the Adversary

(at Noon or Midnight) before working with the Sigils-
"I conjure thee, Bringer of Storms and Chaos! I

summon thee, isolator and winter bringer! Lord
of Deserts and barren places of devils Mighty
Typhon arise to Encircle me
I speak the Words of Seth - which manifest my possibilities!
443
I shall BECOME!
Abraoth, Athorebalo, Kolchoi Tontonon, Beteshu, Sekhem-hra, Become!
"Set opened the paths of the Two Eyes (the Sun and Moon) in the
sky." - The Book of the Dead.
Know that Set is the Adversary, who is both feminine and masculine
(Samael and Lilith), by mastering Apep (Leviathan) is able to become the
Willed mastering and compelling force (sorcery) upon earth (Cain). To unite
the Sun and the Moon within and in the Sky (the material world and astral
plane, the Infernal and Celestial/Empyrean Sabbat) does the magician
become like Set. This is the process of the Great Work.
The Spell of Transforming into the Serpent Apep.
I am the serpent Apep whose years are infinite. I am the devourer, the
hunger of the abyss. I am the serpent Apep, the dweller in the uttermost
444
Michael W. Ford
depths of the earth. I am the mastery of chaos and the very embodiment of the
storm!
I am the serpent-god (Apophis) who dwelleth amid his terrors in the

darkness. I am the Serpent-god and I seize (my prey) like a ravening beast. I
am the great water serpent which is in Leviathan. I am the Lord to whom
bowings and prostrations are made in the Glory of Set. And the Set is the lord
to whom bowings and prostrations are made in Khephesh.
Azothoz Hekas Hekas Hekau!
The Shape Shifting of the Sebau into Beast (dreaming focus)
I crawl in the earth, licking and spitting as a slithering dragon in darkness I

stand forth on all fours as the wolf and jackal waiting to devour
I howl into the sky as the Adversary first cried out after the Fall
I screech as my mother in the night sky, her very dominion
By darkness encircled shall shadow make flesh
I shall change now into the beast I so choose
And Return by waking in my flesh as I was born and transformed So it
shall be, Hekas, Hekas, Hekau!
The Summoning of Fulgora (she of lightening and storms)
Hail 0 bringer of storms, Seth-an's concubine

Whose very nature causes the lightening bolt of inspiration
The very song of Yaltabaoth and Samael
Open forth the clouds of storm and wind and rain to me
Within this circle, cast in the shadow of darkness made flesh
Witness my rite, crash down those who would strike against me! So
it shall be!
The Rite of Discordia
O goddess black who was exiled by Jove

Who is the bride of Samael or Seth-an called by many
Who is the sorceress seeking the blood of youth
Whose laughter overpowers the cries of the dagger falling As
you take in the ejaculation of your victim
Fucking to drink from them, bloodied cunt, bloodied mouth
Who is the sister of Death, the blade a cradle song
Who is a sister of Nemesis, whose adversarial spirit is strong Hail
Discordia, Ate, whose head is crowned with serpents
The torn garments of one arising from the Grave
Who as with Set brings all change, war, violence and
progression
445
Misunderstood by humanity, but not by us

We laugh with the spilling blood, we laugh at the birth pains of
a God
Hail 0 Discordia, arise to us!
Typhon-Set, God of Storms and Change
Set is the overmastering and compelling one, as according to

Plutarch.
"Typhon, as has been said, is named Seth and Bebon and

Smu, and these names would indicate some forcible and
preventive check or opposition or reversal." - Plutarch, Isis and
Osiris
Typhon-Set is a God which represents opposition and

challenge, struggle and the heat of the desert. The Black
Adept becomes like Set through his or her own initiatory
work, thus the religion of Lucifer can truly be sensed within; it
is both darkness and light, both storm and silence, both
feminine and masculine. Iron is considered the bones of
Typhon,
"For, as the iron oftentimes acts as if it were being attracted

and drawn toward the stone, and oftentimes is rejected and
repelled in the opposite direction, in the same way the
salutary and good and rational movement of the world at one
time, by persuasion, attracts and draws toward itself and
renders more gentle that harsh and Typhonian movement, and
then again it gathers itself together and reverses it and
plunges it into difficulties." - Plutarch, Isis and Osiris
Areimanius or Arimanius/Ahriman, is identical to TyphonSet

and Satan. Ahriman is the foundation of the Luciferian path as
he represents both darkness and matter, sorcerous knowledge
and the forbidden knowledge which curses the empty light of
disillusion.
The sorcery of the Yatuk Dinoih provides a foundation for not

only challenging initiation, but also the workings from nearly
forgotten Zoroastrian lore.
"Zoroaster has also taught that men should make votive

offerings and thank-offerings to Oromazes, and averting and
mourning offerings to Areimanius. They pound up in a mortar a
certain plant called omomi at the same time invoking Hades
446
Michael W. Ford
and Darkness; then they mix it with the blood of a wolf that has
been sacrificed, and carry it out and cast it into a place where
the sun never shines. "-Plutarch, Isis and Osiris
Here we are able to see a foundation of Averse Black Magick

which announces transformation by the Black Adept. The
magician or Yatus would not simply perform sorcery to avert
anything, rather on a different mind set based on initiation and
change, becoming like Ahriman itself.
447
ADAMU
Forbidden Sexual Magick
Within the Shadows...
Sister Claire prayed feverously, invoking Jesus and the Saints, yet her
heart was filled with blackness and the lust of the Adversary. As she had
been awoken by Father Urbain Grandier, who as a Priest of their parish in
St. Pierre du Marche in Loudon, he whispered something to her and she
felt the searing heat of lust, of desire and blasphemous
entanglements with Goat faced spirits. Pig like beasts snort and lick up the
drippings of their dreamlike fornications, while her swelling grew with
the size and violent thrusts of the beast like member pounding deep within
her burning core.
That was before, this night Sister Claire so wished for the Devil to come
unto her. Many nights Asmodeus came to them and bit her inner thighs
while reciting prayers backwards, she would move her forefinger at a
feverish pace over her clitoris while calling to her lover, the Devil himself and
lusting for the pulsing yet cold member of the demon Asmodeus.
Grandier would often join in these Sabbati c and Sexual Rites, often
wearing a black hood while fucking her with a fury that would tear many
girls apart. There was no rape in this Covenant, only desire and
fulfillment. The Nuns knew the passion of the Cross, but also the lust and
desire of the Demons summoned by Father Urbain Grandier. He taught
them the keys of summoning and going unto the spirits as friends, not
as the Christian tyrants whom they pretended to uphold.
Sister Claire was in her cold chamber again; rather in her mind was an
elaborate temple of both the heights of Heaven and the depths of Hell.
Urbain Grandier had taught her the art of coitus cum demone, to use
their union to empower their very being and strengthen them as
sorcerers - the very art of the witch. Sister Claire invoked the God of
Flies, Beelzebub in her chamber one night before sleeping. She
envisioned flies and larva into her chamber and she drifted off to sleep.
Waking in a half dream state, she tore from her sheets to be greeted by a
Blackened Shadow, yet its very head was obscured in a mass of circling flies.
She understood and when touched by this daemon, she recited "Fuck me
with your filth and raise me up in your fire, let me be your whore" to
herself and she positioned herself on her knees and felt the cold press of
448
Michael W. Ford
the demon's member into her. She felt a strong pressure on her knees as she
knelt on the uncomfortable makeshift bed.
While revolting at first and feeling the frigid grip of Beelzebub's left hand on
her hip, she felt a burning sensation and gently pushed back to take his
large and painful cock inside her. As this large shadow which had a frigid
touch began to thrust slowly back and forth, she heard a hissing and the
buzzing of flies, which grew in volume. At first being repulsed, she found a
desire which could not be sated by anyone else. She fucked this beast with
frenzy, spitting chants of transformation and becoming while the serpent
tongue of Beelzebub hissed words of power which seemed to burn
themselves in her back. The member of this devil seemed to be entangled with
flesh, yet seemed to crawl with insect like legs from the base of the demon.
As the cock pumped deep within her, she felt a
449
moist sensation she could not understand, yet the slight stinging was a
sweetness she could not resist. With each thrust, deep within her she felt
small and large insect legs tickling her lips which devoured this devil's
penis. Sister Claire wanted these demons as the earth longs for a falling
star, she thirsts for it to fill her cunt with a burning abandon, she
wanted to shed tears of obsession and a deep desire as she gave every
ounce of herself to the demon.
While still being fucked as a chained slave, she suddenly felt a deep
burning sensation in her anus. Slowly she was being invaded by another
member of the devil. It entered slowly; looking back she was fucked with
harder thrusts, the demon lover allowing black spittle to pour from its
mass of flies onto the anus and the other black cock which emerged from a
liquid belching demonic mouth above his humanistic genitalia. She was
repulsed and filled with more desire. She felt as if it was tearing her apart
even with the burning black spittle ejaculated from the mass of flies
which made up its head.
She knew of the names of the servitors of Beelzebub, from ancient

Hebrew sources known by Father Urbain Grandier. As she was slowly
fucked deep in her asshole and cunt pounded by the pulsing and
growing phalluses of the Beast, she chanted and hissed the names of
some servitors - Amatia, Dorak, Arcon, Plison, Lamalon. Each name
vibrated and hissed in unison by Sister Claire and Beelzebub, who
seemed to know and be completely in tune with her words. The demon
servitors would grow from shadows to attend their calling; their form
would be perverted corpse like children dripping in the moist grease from a
body during the stages of decay. Such incubi and demonic servitors were
bred forth by the blood and elixir into a vessel made strong in the light of
the moon.
Fucking the beast she looked up and found other shadowy forms taking
shapes as what appeared to be demonic and malformed children. Five
appeared from the blackness of the corners, which which The Lord of
Flies brought with his summoning. Their faces were wrinkled and scab
covered with seeming old age, their eyes were black as they reflected
neither light nor comfort as normal children's eyes. Each moved forward,
white pale and corpse like flesh, gray then turning pitch black on ends, still
born and emerging from shadows. They were chanting in child like voices
and touching themselves in lewd ways.
As they moved forward the demons slowly mutated into decaying dogs
with little or no fur and pasty, almost greasy colored gray flesh. Emitting a
foul odor, these beasts now began to fuck each other, dripping a bile on the
back of the other being sodomized. Their mouths changing and
transforming into large vaginas while savagely being fucked from behind,
450
Michael W. Ford
a serpent tongue slithering from the vagina lips and then suddenly came
more flies and maggot larva from the blood dripping holes. When one
beast finished fucking the other the pull out brought a seeming
ejaculation of rotting milk, the smell rising over the odor of the decaying
dogs which was similar to that of clumped blood clots. When one beast
finished the other moved in a half human way to the front and began
penetrating the vagina in the face of the other. As Sister Claire was being
pumped in both her spread anus and vagina, powerless and submissive, she
was hearing the slurping sound of the cunt-mouthed demon sucking the
other decaying beast off.
As the Beelzebub reached a climax, she felt the in pouring of a cold and
almost burning substance within her, she bent up to take the serpent's
tongue deep in her mouth while the Shadow which took form continued
ejaculating within her womb. Flies buzzed and landed on her face as she
kissed deep her Demon, and for the moment did she find
satisfaction...the demon brought not death but life, and rested in the
blackness of her mind.
The Grimoire of Coitus cum Demone - the Art of Flesh and Fire
Behold! A Grimoire written in flesh, blood and the fluids of the Agape!
From shadows long forgotten does her name come forth again in the
minds of many, Az. She is of many names, Lilith, Kali, Jeh, Izorpo,
Batna, Satrina, Eilo, Abeko, Kokos, Odam, Partasah, Talto, Patrota,
Amizo, Abito, Ita, Kea, Lamassu, Ardad Lili, Abyzu and known among you
all. By these names shall you fornicate in honor of, be it known, anyone
who may undertake an Holy Rite of Passage as described in this book of
spirit, you must at all times during do so in honor of Her in mind. The
End of all Flesh is the beginning of the Fiery Spirit of which you seek.
Know her in ecstasy and aversion, from that shall you begin to understand
her nature within you.
This is a forbidden text, here is given the means, formula and cipher to
invoking sexual daemons and the spirits of the abyss deep within you. This
text is meant as an honest manual of practice, a key to the gates of hell.
Know that the Agape (love) and the path of Sexual Magick can be as
elaborate or as simple as you wish. It can also be as dark, brooding or as
"dangerous" as you wish (this does not apply to unsafe sex mind you!).
Individuals are able to interact with spirits and daemonic forces within and
outside of themselves. If one chooses to work with a partner, they should
be well informed and focused on the path as well. Casual sex
451
partners would in some ways degrade the purpose of the Great Work,
unless they were aware of the significance of what you were undertaking. It
may prove dangerous for them as well, malefic forces in the shadows of the
practitioner do manifest in various ways. The "pure" one undertaking the rite
subconsciously controls these powers, while an outsider may not have the
slightest idea of what they are truly involved in.
The ritual tools of Sexual Magick - altar, circle, dagger and any other
implement is used as a means of self-inspiration, of bringing tools
towards a specific and direct application to aid in ritual work.
Within this grimoire text you will find fictional, inspirational and
practical elements of exploring sexual sorcery. The utmost importance of any
working however is safe sex. You should communicate and discuss
workings with your partner, do not leave any subject untouched within
sexual magick and ensure that both partners are completely clear of
their direction, needs/wants and focus. Do not explore sex magick
without the responsibility of practicing Safe Sex.
Within the realm of Sexual Magick it must be understood that you must be
completely honest with yourself, or you shall create a spiral force which
will devour you. Sex Magick is dangerous because you are working with
intense emotions; Magick is successful with intense emotions utilized
and Willed in a specific direction. Know thyself is a key part to the
success of the Work. The Creative Power of the Universe is the Shakti,
when summoning and ensorceling (circling within your boundary of self) the
spirits you are having congress with your Daemon but also the Succubi
and Lilitu, the offspring of Lilith, the Mother of the Antinomian Path,
so be well focused. Lilith is the Mother of Forbidden Desires, in
Manichaean Lore she taught the Fallen Angels how to form bodies and
copulate with others to beget "Dragon Children". She had alone the
power to awaken the Serpent - Mind of Ahriman (the Devil) from his deep
slumber, in which he bestowed upon her the Kiss which caused
menstruation. Tantric sects of the Left Way consider the
menstruation cycle to be the most powerful for the practitioner, thus
Woman is Blessed as the Daughter of the Devil itself. The deeper
mysteries of Luciferian Sex Magick are found in the early Hebrew tales of
Lilith and Samael original born in the Same Fire, thus they are both
twins and lovers, as well as the begetters of Cain, the First Witch and
Satanist. In the Great Work, the practitioner seeks to bring into union
within him or herself both Samael and Lilith to beget Cain, or Wisdom.

Sexual Magick and Transformation
The preparations for Sexual Magick are as systematic and any other
workings. While your actual work may be very loose and unceremonial, the
preparation should be disciplined. Firstly, know what your goal is -
the very aim of the working. Will you seek orgasm or will you use the
method of Karezza, being excitement to the brink of orgasm and then
focusing that energy on your goal, then allowing a mental release rather
than a physical orgasm. Second, when practicing the rite, allow your
mind to stay focused on the goal, not the pleasure itself. If it a solitary
working, keep your thoughts focused on the object or goal. Although
Luciferian Witchcraft and Sorcery holds many ciphers and symbols, in the
circle it is merely you and the Gods/Goddesses and Daemons whi ch you
have given power to - nothing else.
One who seeks to explore the primal hungers and spiritual evolution of the
path of the sexual demon, control is demanded in the highest degree of
practice. You will wish to meditate and learn control of your body and your
thoughts. This can be a daunting process but through the Willed focus of
Magick shall this come to be.
Tantra must be used as a tool to balance the spiritual and physical into a
Coming to Being with the Luciferic Initiatory Guide. This is a spiritual
connection with Sutekh, Set the Awakened God of Chaos and the most
powerful of Egyptian Gods.
The Three aspects of Tantric Sexual Magick from a Luciferian

perspective are:
Pushu - the first level of initation, where one is overcome with desire and lust.
Here Adamu should be a guide towards the foundations of practice. Utilize
the tool of the Daemonic Feminine, Lilith, as understanding the deeper
desires of your mind and body. Lilith is the mother which leads you to
isolation but fills your spirit with self-reliance and strength from within.
The mystery is revealed that Lilith is within, the very Red matter of ash
formed to divinity. Ahriman is the Beast of the Masculine, that which
creates and expands it's will, Sexual Magick should be a tool of
discovering these aspects and grasping them to manifest your will and
become that which you seek. In this level of initation, the initiate should
restrict sexual activity for a self-determined period, use daily mediation and
explore that which drives you sexually, and why.
Vira - the second level of intiation, where one is able to control the beast
within the mind and body, but is able to begin practice of sexual magick but
with willful control and self - discipline. Atleast three first workings
453
should be Karezza and holding the body back from Orgasm. This is
understandably very difficult and will cause mental and physical pain, but
with the display of self-discipline, the mind and body will strengthen and
focus under this intense test of Will. Begin to form the beasts and
shadows which shall act out your magick, to command your sorcery and
begin opening your body as a Temple to Ahriman/ Sutekh. Do not look
towards other avenues for Temples and Holy (Luciferian) places, look only
to your body as your Temple.
Daeva - the third level of initiation, where the Adept has overcomed,
controlled and managed to form their sexual practice as a means of
bringing their own mental and physical state to a Divine or Luciferian
sense, where the self is isolated and Godlike, where nothing is beheld but
yourself.
The union of Lilith within the Body is that she is the lifeblood which
initiates that Spark of Becoming, the female is completely active and
powerful unto herself. Lilith is the motion and movement which brings
forth the strength of Samael. She draws out the Seed of Samael
(Ahriman) to create Cain (the body of the Adept).
The union of Samael (Ahriman) is contemplative and passive unto

Lilith as the energizer of life, or motivation and desire. Thought or the
Akoman (sinister mind) is the level of Ahriman or Lucifer, the isolate
mind.
Sex Magick Workings
Here you will find what some have hoped not to find - Self-Empowerment
through Sexual Congress. Some of these involve Man to Man, so Woman to
Woman and some Male to Female. In rituals of the Sun and the Moon, two
men may participate however one will take a Lunar side (feminine) and one
Solar (masculine), the same with Woman to Woman workings. Do not hide
your sexuality away, be what you are and let no one tell you it is wrong!
The model of Left Hand Path Sexual Magick is a challenge which moves
beyond the constraints of sociological limitation; it is taboo without
psychological degradation, self-motivational empowerment through
becoming as a God or Goddess, to discover your weaknesses and
strengths. The God forms of Sexual Magick within the Witches Sabbat or
Luciferian Path is best described through Lilith, Lucifer, Ahriman and
Cain.

455
Lilith represents the Black or earth bound control/manipulation of the

world around you in accordance to the Will of the practitioner. Lilith is the
patron mother of beasts, demons and the nightside of nature. Lucifer is the
Bringer of Light and Wisdom, the Solar side of Ahriman. Cain represents
the Son of Samael (the Devil) and Lilith, whom is known in many
Luciferian circles as Baphomet. Cain represents initiation and the process
of the Great Work itself; be it within a sexual magick format or not.
Sexual Magick through Samael (Azazel/ Lucifer) is self-transformative

Magick; through the symbol of the Sun do you illuminate yourself by the
immolating inner awakening known as the Black Flame. By the
combination of Samael and Lilith and their respective paths do you
create within Cain, the Horned Witchfather and Master of the Forge.
Sexual Magick through Ahriman is the Yatus/Daevai86

summoning/ invoking the principle or shadow side of Lucifer into the
body of darkness made flesh. This is a mutating and transformative state
which is painful, yet filled with the ecstasy of self-deification. Ahriman is
movement, chaos and the Will made flesh. The sorcerer, who becomes
Yatus, or Witch, is the isolated power which is an avatar for Ahriman and
Lilith. By seeking this path you become as Ahriman and will create the
Daevas and Druj which arise from him. The Prince of Darkness is a
power unto himself, he cuts and devours that which becomes useless to
him, and recognizes that he is the only God that Is. Sexual Magick is
used to invoke this force within, the Dragon Made Flesh and does not
represent or suggest any specific form of gender or sexual orientation. It is
the sex of the individual, or avatar.
In addition, Pairikas or Witches of the Left Hand Path may become an

avatar for the darker side of Lilith, the Bride of Ahriman known as AZ or
Jeh. This is the feminine aspect of Darkness, the Tiamat of the
Sumerians which represents Time and the devouring aspect which
continues life, the thirst for continued existence.
The Models of Left Hand Path / Witches Sabbat Sex Magick a re-
Samael/Ahriman -Thinking Force, the Djinn (Azazel/Shaitan) of Fire,

masculine strength, energy, the movement of the self through life. Known
also as Shaitan/Satan this is the Black Serpent or Kundalini. In its
masculine opposing nature, it is known as Ahriman, the Imagination.
Samael is the Black Dragon.

456
Michael W. Ford
Lilith/AZ -Red Force, the mother of demons, darkness in nature, primal

instincts, menstrual blood from the Kiss of Ahriman.
The models of the Left Hand Path and the Witches Sabbat are described now
for a further clarity. Samael, called Azazel or Lucifer. Samael is the left
kingdom of separation from the natural order, th e force which
brought light or intellect to humanity through leaving the thrall of the all-
father or Zurvan. Samael is represented as the Fallen Seraph or Djinn which
is composed of Fire and had Twelve Wings, superior to other higher
angels who had six wings.
Samael's bride is Lilith, who was once the bride of the All father and
Adam. It was Samael who took the form of the Dragon - Serpent, who
rode Eve while possessed by Lilith and by injecting "Filth" into her,
conceived and bore Cain. Lilith is the initiatory mother, who awoke Cain
after his murder of Abel, which is represented as his lower self of the
thrall of sheep. Cain becomes the Wolf through devouring the life of his
brother symbolically.
Samael and Lilith obtain power behind Metatron, or Zurvan, the Black Sun
itself. This is the separating force from the natural order, the Sigil of
ALGOL often represents this theory as the Eye of Ahriman/Set
transformed and isolate, thus Order within Chaos.
KALI
Kali, called Smashan (cremation grounds) Tara (the savioress), is Lilith as

the great devourer and destroyer. In a Left Hand Path perspective Kali is the
force which we find within ourselves through looking deep within her,
facing her terrors and through union with the feminine, empower a
slumbering aspect of our psyche. Kali in a Tantric aspect is the
blackness which crystallizes within the magician, the fire which exists in the
void which is a symbol of her fiery nature. Lilith is the Black Serpent
representing fleshly desire and Will to Flesh.
Kali is one of the 17 names of Lilith, whom is our patron Goddess of

Sorcery and Magick. She is the devourer of all; she who awakens man and
woman to the positive aspects of consciousness; the Mind itself. Go forth to
Kali without fear, like a child to his mother. Kali is first shown as being
Black, covered in ashes and covered in a garland of human skulls and
heads, she stands upon the cor pse of Shiva who is her mate, she devours
and nurtures those who come unto her.
She is depicted as a woman who stands upon her mate, Mahadeva, who is
the corpse god and when she copulates with Shiva he is called
Mahakala, he is erect and cold below the Black Goddess. Kali stands
457
fierce upon this corpse, her left foot on his legs and right on his chest. In
dreaming practice or meditation, one may envision her feet becoming like tree
roots which sink deep into the corpse of Mahadeva. The significance will be
explained shortly.
Kali is the embodiment of the dragon of chaos, Azhdeha, and Tiamat. She is
the manifestation of primal darkness made flesh, the enfleshed
Daemonic Feminine. It is significant to understand that in forms of Left
Hand Tantric Paths, the Graveyard and cremation ground is a gateway
458
Michael W. Ford
unto Her. The fanged goddess, who drips blood and holds the beheading
blade calls to your dreams, your deepest desires. Go forth unto her and
face that which is either your doom or your becoming. Kali cares not for the
weak and the ones who cannot face their inner darkness; Her
children are of the Dragon, the serpent which contains the inner Fire of
Her very essence.
Kali in her Buddhist form is Lhamo, she was the bride of the King of
Demons and Cannibals known as Shunje, whose demons were called
Dudpos. She left her husband for a time and killed her own son. She
flayed him and used his skin as a saddle cloth, drank his blood using his
skull cap and ate of his flesh. In some traditions Lhamo is called Remati, and
she is depicted with Red Hair to represent her fiery nature and has a garland
of human heads. She rides through on a mule or horse, a sea of boiling
blood and entrails, made to appease her. Her hair is said to have a peacock
feather. Her skin is dark blue just as her Hindu manifestation Kali, they are
both identical in manifestation except Lhamo was said to be among the
Himalayas, instead of the cremation grounds of India. Lhamo has two
servitors who travel with her, a lion headed guardian known as
Simhavakrtra and a Dakini. She is also described as being covered in
ashes and human fat, she has three bloodshot eyes and holds a sandlewood
club which often depicts a Vajra symbol.
459
It is considered that cremation grounds in India87 are generally West of the

towns. West is symbolic as the direction of Night, Darkness and the Ocean
or abyss. In the circle the West is usually dedicated to Leviathan, Azael (the
Angel of Death, a form of Azazil) or in Egyptian modern workings
Anubis. The chamber of the Sex Magician may have the west focused as
the altar or as a symbolic graveyard, with bones or images of Death. While
you may use the direction of North as the primary altar, West may be
reserved for the darker explorations of Sexual Magick. The patron animals of
Kali are found in cremation grounds - jackals, crows and other animals
which feed from the corpses of the dead.
The Triangle of Evocation or Meeting place of Spirits is symbolized in

many ways. The triangle within the praxis of Sexual Magick may be an
inverse triangle with at each of the three points a skull or symbolic skull.
This represents the Three Shades of Witch Fire (inspiration and creativity
from the Three Faces of Hecate, the Goddess of Graveyards) and the
inner power of the practitioner. Within the Luciferian Path many use the
Goetic Triangle with the name AZ-AZ-EL within instead of MI-CHA-EL or the
Triangle of Darkness used to symbolize Ahriman and the meeting place of
serpents.
You may work with Kali in numerous ways. Firstly, seek a quiet
dedication period to the lunar essence of Kali (Lilith) and seek the inner
connections of your own being with the attributes you identify her from. It
is said that Kali is ugly outside, but beyond the barrier is filled with
ecstasy and beauty which holds all negative and positive ideas. Those
ideas within a Left Hand Path or Luciferian focus is, that one realizes his or
her deep desire and seeks to manifest it into the transformation of the self
and later the exterior or objective world around you. If you are a male
homosexual, seek the feminine firstly through solitary methods and then
work with your chosen partner. Your partner may take the role of the
Goddess of you may, this may be dually switched as long as the
practitioners are focused completely on the goal.
A mantra which may be recited in first solitary workings with Kali can be
Kalilim, which is a combined word - sigil of Kali and Lilith or her
offspring, Lilim. This is an interior summoning of the succubi within the
subconscious, seeking to open a gateway within the mind to the darkest
forces of the Goddess. You may focus on visualizing her while arousing
yourself, slowly at first - she may be just vague in image but then further
details until at the height of union with her spirit do you see her clearly
and then she is called into your mind from the abyss at the moment of
climax.

The Circle of the Adversary
The Circle within Luciferian Witchcraft represents the very binding space of
the sorcerers body, both of spirit/celestial and flesh/infernal. It is the
symbol of both the Sun and the Moon, the sphere which begets strength and
the very focus of the Magician. Thus the circle of Cain is the symbol of the
Beast or Devil in flesh, a very manifestation of a God or Goddess on Earth.
The circle is a continual and progressing manifestation and power center,
which is merely a reflection of the body.
When the two meet within the circle, be it male and female, male and
male or female and male, both symbolize a manifestation and
incarnation of the Adversary or Two Headed One. This is Noon and
Midnight, the very essence of Shaitan/ Satan as the Double Wanded
God/Goddess. One Head represents Satan while the other is Lilith, the
union of duality to bring the strength of being.
The female partner should be menstruating which represents the vital

energies of the feminine. She who seeks the invocation of Lilith will
collect the blood and place on the altar of Art Magickal, the male
represents the devouring. The goal of this Tantrick exercise is to focus the
inherent energies via the Will, but to use them in a process of
selftransformation, a mutation into a living temple of which the Daemon
may manifest. Thus in this work, the sorcerer becomes a director of the
current itself, a living expression of what is called "the Devil" or
Adversary. The female is also a living vital manifestation of this current as
well, it is in ancient Hebrew folklore that both Satan and Lilith were born
of the same Fire, being twins.
The use of a vessel/fetish represents the 'home' of the Daeva or Demon. It is

closely connected to the transformation of the sorcerer, thus an
ènvenomed' and empowered ritual tool. When seeking to empower a
fetish of Lilith or Cain, ensorcel (encircle) yourself in the love of the
Daemon itself, this is why working with the Inner Guide or Holy
Guardian Angel is so essential. Throw yourself into the internal
association of the force, as it relates to you. Use incense, candles and
anything which holds useful association. The Vajra Lightning bolt, that
which falls from the sky (often associated with Lucifer or Satan, the
Watchers or Fallen Angels) Is a symbol of internal vitality, strength and a
cipher of initiation.
The libido is symbolized as a snake; the 'Black Serpent' of Yezidi lore is to

represent knowledge and wisdom. The serpent thus represents a willed
focus of energies connected with the self, as also the Daemon associated
with the Working and the Azhish Ritual of Zohak/Azi Dahaka (The
461
Paitisha). You may seek sexual congress to bring both Kali and Lucifer to
flesh by using menstrual blood and semen in a vessel. You may wish to use
a white sheet which you copulate on again and again to empower the
working. Use the sheet as a wrap of sorts for the vessel which may have
images or sigils of Kali and Lucifer upon them, that you may encircle
them with the Love (Agape) of the Willed Desire of both practitioners
involved. You may seek to empower this vessel beginning at the full moon to
then the Dark Moon.
A suitable description of a Sex Magick working by Pascal Beverly

Randolph "was to copulate with many different women on one bedsheet,
never changing or cleaing it. Thus, it retained the cumulative life force of
those couplings, mingled and preserved in crusted fluids. He then
stretched the sheet as an artist's canvas, and painted upon it his visual
image of a succubus. He used his imagination like a lens to bring the
power into focus, flattering and feeding the spirit who then manifested
through it."
This provides a power tool for the magicians to create a working based
around Kali and Lucifer, which by joining such fluids over and over again and
filling them in a vessel a demon lover may be born. Use a variety of
invocations, spells and averse chants such as the Lord's Prayer
Backwards and similar "Satanic" chants to empower the demon.
On the night of the Dark Moon, refresh with blood and semen again and
rebury the vessel in the earth. Each night you may exhume the vessel and
wrap it in the sheet or cloth used in your congress, smeared over and
over again with the sexual fluids of both partners. You may wish to evoke a
Demon or Succubi/Incubi as this child of Kali-Lilith and Lucifer, thus being a
servitor and third lover for the couple. Focus its gender or Will it to be able
to change accordingly. Thus a rite which you create may be done as a Higher
or a Goetic or Lower Working of sorcery.
On the Evening of the Full Moon exhume the Demon Vessel and perform a
final incantation to it, then copulate with the vessel near and upon the
white sheet which should be stained and crusted with blood and semen.
Ensure that your fornication is intense and drawn out as long as
possible, both envisioning the spirit you are creating. Allow this force to
move within you as you fuck. When ejaculation occurs, the female or
male (if both are consenting and monogamy is trusted) may take the
semen in their mouth and mixed with their saliva or blood, spit into the
vessel to empower the demon. If the rite is homosexual, a incubi with a
preference for men will no doubt be created. If the couple are lesbians, a
succubi will no doubt be empowered and bound to them. It is the
combination of fluids of both male and female which seem to create a
462
Michael W. Ford
demon which may mutate between both and be able to perform various
tasks depending on the sorcerers.
If you wish to destroy or banish the demon, simply burn and pour salt
over the vessel during a created banishing rite, including the sheet.

Communion with Darkness A

Ritual of Seething
Prepare the Skull Bowl or Sacred Bowl of Adamu, fill it with both sperm and
blood of the moon88, mix it with jasmine and those herbs which bring
gnosis. In the Nights of Az, be it the Dark of the Moon or the Light of the
Moon shall you have a sacred vessel of her marriage of the Dragon and his
Bride. The soil may be prepared by the earth of which you dwell, and filled
with the grave soil of a working place. During the preparation of the vessel
of marriage, be it skull or pot you must be disciplined to banish the
beliefs of which you were raised, and the ego which holds you in stasis.
Seek her with the thirst of consciousness, the desire of knowledge
and to transform your consciousness into a higher state of being. Seek
Azal'ucel and His Bride during this sacred act, let not another who is
untouched by the Blackened Light of Cain dare witness this preparation.
Your magical partner of many of the rites must be a witch of the current of
the Peacock Angel, who is Azal'ucel revealed. Let her join you in the Great
Work, but yet both are isolate and alone. Share your visions and
inspirations; allow such sacred interaction fan those flames of the Black and
Red serpents of Samael and Lilith. To rise the self up in the Emerald
Presence of Lucifer and the Blackened Abyss of Lilith you must build a
foundation of strength and will. One does not seek the marriage of the
Adversary and the Whore by weakness, those are not of they! The Mind
which is of the Black Light is of Ahriman, who in the cold north awaits his
children with his Bride Az-Jeh, they devour the minds of those who are not
illuminated with the Gnosis of their wisdom. Be prepared and be so diligent
in thy work!
In the Sabbat Path does your transcendence begin to take place. With thy
vessel poured and bathed in the Elixir of Adamu can you offer thy
dedication to Her, and by Sabbat Fire and Dream Way shall she entreat
thee in the ecstasy of union. Be as Cain, who walks the path alone yet
consumed with the Blackened Fire of Self-Divinity!
Adamu is Her secret name of old which is the Trshna of Lilitu, by those
mysteries shall you enter her dread circle. She is the Lust of all Women, and
the Desire in Man. We are born in this world alone and separated, by the
Averse Act of the Luciferian Path can we Come unto the Marriage of the
Dragon and Whore, thus you shall be uplifted to the Path of Cain and his
father, Azal'ucel who is called Azazel, Samael and Lucifer. Seek this way
alone, as it is the Left Way, of matter and flesh. By this Witch-Way

possible, seek rather your own blood in a small amount or something which represents blood.

being the medium of desire of continued existence can the Spirit be

ascended into the Fiery and Aerial Realm of the Angelick Watcher Azazel. It
must be done through Darkness, to awaken Ahriman and Akoman
within, by the Kiss of Az which stirs the Beast.
In the Circle of Az on the Night of the Dark Moon prepare thy Vessel with the
Bowl of Adamu, the Semen and Blood of the Witch Woman, shall you both be
cloaked in the night. Chant the words which open forth the Place of Arezura,
the Cold North-

Ahselpmu oiroiz, ararbum azooirrz!
Zazas, Zazas, Nasatanada Zazas!
These words as above (not including the last line) are the inversed
Alphabetic and Sorcerous language of Shadow tongue, the forward chant is
one of the Summoning of the Watchers, thus an atavistic chant which
ensorcels your body in darkness.
Jeh - Az, Mother and Bride who is Samahe, I summon thee to circle path Az,
who is Pairikanamca, who has Nyanco, I entreat thee within my flesh I am as
Daevayzo within my own Being, who is of Ahriman
By the Daevodata do I Become, my grimoire written in dreams.
I offer this Bowl unto Adamu, who is perfection in Fire and Shadow!
Pour now the contents into the Vesse189 of Az, which shall be envisioned as
the Circle of Az. Give this offering in Love, that by Agape is your desire to
become born!
If thy vessel is a Skull, entreat the shades of the Lilitu to reside there,
their own earthly sister being Agrat-Bat-Mahalat, the guide of nocturnal
copulation and instinctual desire. In the night of the sacred offering with
your partner, seek by sleeping - way to join in union with each other. Do it
so in Her name, and use the Elixir to invigorate the Vessel at Dawn, to make
an offering to Lilith and Her Mate, who is Azazel, who comes forth by the
Light of the Sun.
During the offering the Calling of the Watchers should be chanted

Trshna
-The Thirst of Lilitu-
466
Michael W. Ford
Self-Will is directly connected to the path of Jeh the Whore. Knowingly,

Her names are many. The bride of the Dragon and spiritual mother of
Cain opens the portal through Hell in those who seek her. The aims of
Adamu is to present the infernal garden of delights within and outside the
arcana of self - love, being the essence of Trshna, being Thirst. The
succubi or incubi arises from the depths of our own hell, this may be a
partial combination of the Ahriman - like aspects of the self - masculine,
always in motion - chaos inspired storms which allow the sorcerer to
invoke change and becoming unto the Prince of Darkness. The Left Hand Path
by means of isolation allows the practitioner to discover his or her self; to
explore it and change it according to Self - Will. It is the essence of Az - Jeh
being Concupiscence which divorces the psyche from the natural order
of decay and stillness, it centers the mind itself into the Eye of the
Adversary, the fires of intellect which as a gift of Lucifer - the Light
Bringing name of Ahriman, to the center of possibility and self -
control.
Sexual Sorcery is not only about control, but how to explor e the most
infernal and Luciferian facets of the self - and utilizing this power
productively. It is possible for the sorcerer to become like the Daevas or
Druj, to become like Ahriman. The Yatus (he who practices sorcery) must be
willing to bear open his or her soul, to immolate it in the Black Flame of the
Adversary and baptize it into the future possibility of self-godhood. This is
not an easy task, nor does it not come with consequences. You shall
change, your mind will strengthen, expand and your thoughts will intently
focus on your goals. Those unprepared for the process of self deification
will by no doubt seal their fate into the morass of madness -
to be devoured by Az herself.
The spiral of Adamu offers the secrets of the soul; and the horror of the
abyss which is waiting within each of us. Do not seek the darkness to
dissolve, to die. Seek the darkness as a fiery serpent that refuses the
death of the psyche, by Trshna shall live beyond the veil of physical
death. Strengthen your psyche and soul now; demand the cup of Az and
drink deep of its fornication. The Grimoire of Adamu is laid across time and
culture; it does not hold specific dogma to one tradition or way.
It must also be mentioned that Sexual Magick holds powerful servitors, but
shall destroy those who have not the Will to control their desires. Such
incubi and succubi are devouring masters and will slowly feed from those
who cannot control them. Be warned. The methods of Left Hand Path
sexual magick may be explored and expanded by the imagination of the
practitioner with the methods of old. It must be considered that such practice
is not aimed at inflating the ego; rather to manifest a power unto the
subjective or interior world of the magician. S ex Magick is very
powerful but equally as dangerous. By the process of evoking and
467
creating succubi or incubi, a weak willed individual who lacks self

control may by his or her own error fall into obsession in which the
succubi/incubi begins to control the master itself. This is perhaps one of the
more dangerous aspects of basic sexual sorcery, while such dangers escalate
depending on the Working itself.
Left Handed Tantric Sex Magick

The Union of Ahriman and Druj - AZ
468
Michael W. Ford
The Yatuk Dinoih and Paitisha are both tomes of Yatukan Sorcery which
explores the foundations of invoking and becoming via the Daevas and Druj
from ancient Persian lore. A development through the Yatus is the sexual
magick and willed self-transformation from the fountainhead of Az
- Jeh, known also as Lilith in other areas of daemonic mythology. In
working with the Yatuk-Dinoih one invokes the Daemonic and Chthonic
(earth based) energies of the daeva and druj, that the self becomes an
empowered vessel of these forces. By Will one becomes a Daemon or Druj
unto themselves. Sexual Sorcery is a useful, powerful and dangerous
path which is a means of controlling and creating familiars, demons,
sending nightmares, controlling dreams, etc. One is able to use sexual
sorcery by the way of envisioning a spirit or goal and loosing the self in the
ecstasy during climax, to create and send forth the druj.
Through the types of Left Hand Path Sexual Magick, the Black Magician not
only becomes a Daemon/ Daeva/Druj but also a gateway for the
Luciferian and Ahrimanic force within - the Sun and the Moon, Noon
and Midnight. This is a process of self-association with the respective
God forms, their integration within your mind and overpowering
anything which seeks to enter you. It should be understood that such
spirits must never be allowed to control you, as this is weakness and will
follow to your own self-destruction. You must control and Will this form of
balanced Order within your mind.
The sorcerer who seeks the transformation path of Az -Jeh-Lilith shall

undertake the test of which invokes the creative powers of darkness. Sex
Magick initiates the magician into the current of Ahriman by moving
against the natural by controlling/ creating daevas and succubi in the
spirit plane, that by dreams they manifest.
As a model of AZ, let the magician invoke in their own way LILITH, who is
the dark primal instinct, the spirit of night and desire, hunger and
sexual copulation. She is the force which roused Ahriman from his
slumber, she who awakened the Demons to beget Dragon-Children.
In Nazorean-Manichaean legends of Adam, Az-Lilith came forth from the

depths of hell to teach and instruct the fallen angels, demons and other
averse spirits the art of sexual copulation, how by joining male and
female spirits together, they created such off springs upon the earth.
These demons spawned other children, Az - Lilith devoured some of them later
on, which increased her vitality and power. Lilith is thus the First
Vampire, the enfleshed anthropomorphic form of Tiamat/Azhdeha, the
Dragon Stars.
A practice of this Creation rite may be done accordingly-

In the circle, create two sigils, one masculine and feminine.
469
Prepare and invocation to AZ-Jeh, the great whore who awakens your
minds' eye.
Dedicate yourself to HER name that you shall become through HER.
Stimulate yourself by the imagined formation of a male and female

Daeva/Druj, at Climax anointing the Sigils with the fluid. If you have a
partner, ideally if she (unless you are the she) is menstruating her fluids may
be anointed as well. This formula creates the demons which will carry
forth and enflesh your desires. Your Will is the driving factor
associated with this, so do be prepared to ensorcel yourself in your desire
- will - belief.
The Draconian Rite of the Adversary

Raising the Twin Serpents of Lilith and Samae19°
As individual vessels of Cain/Naamah (Cain's sister), the magician will

focus on visualizing the Red and Black Coiling Serpents up the spine. Sit
upon a comfortable pillow, legs crossed and begin to slow your breathing.
This is done by banishing all other thoughts and concentrate on your
lower spine. Slowly begin to form a great Red serpent which starts at
your lower back - this is Lilith, the Red dragon which is the fiery life
source which rises as the Sun itself. With each breath, you shall feel it
ascend and coil around your spinal column. You should imagine fire,
heat and creative force as the dragon ascends your body. When Lilith
reaches your right shoulder, you should bask in the Fire of Self, this is
thelife bringing force of hunger and desire, the qualities of being and self-
love. Be pleased that your imagination has created this mental and
physical pleasure; know that you by yourself are the creator of your own
Gods. This is the essence of the Left Hand Path, self-deification.
Now you will begin to call forth the Black Serpent,Samael/Ahriman. This is
the 'shadow', the primal instinct and sexual desire for becoming. The
emotional, lustful aspect which is the driving force of sorcery and
selfexpansion. Begin summoning the Black Serpent up your spine, coiling
with the Red Dragon as red flame and blackened fire join as one. As
these two forces continue to connect, rub together and bring about
friction, ecstasy shall overtake you. Do not allow the Will to fail or to lose
your determination. As the Black Serpent moves up your spine focus on its
essence - darkness, lust passion and hidden aspects of the self, bestial
transformation, isolation arid the foundations of sorcery.
9`' An advanced formula is hidden within the symbolism of the rite, AZHISH, found in The Paitisha by
Michael W. Ford. It is a spiraling of the Daevayasna who advances the psyche in the Luciferian Gnosis.
470
Michael W. Ford
Draw the daemonic feminine inward, to merge with the Black Dragon,
Lilith. As the Blackened Dragon rises above the Left shoulder, envision
now the union of this force - the creation of Cain. You may reflect on
these two forces in relation to your own unique being. Ask yourself, how
will I use this knowledge and power to improve my being and life? When the
twin serpents have both been raised, you may now perform an act of High
Sorcery, of the Blackest Magick of self-deification. Invoke the
Luciferian Angel, Azal'ucel, practice what spell you wish with improved
potency and BECOME through the Black Flame. Becoming as it is called
requires patience, but determination and commitment. The circle of
sorcery knows only the bounds you present to it, Know Thyself!
Ensorcelment of the Daemon
The arte of sexual sorcery between two partners should be focused on the
ensorcelment91 of the primal ophidian power. This is the Black and Red
Snake in union, between both participants. Let both the fluids of male
and female be brought in union for the consecration of talismans and
sigils, thus a demon born under the Will of the practitioners.
The Daemon which is a Succubi or Incubi may be sigillized by any

known method and further prepared by the evocations to be conducted
before, during and after copulation. The Daemon depending on intent
must be agreed ahead of time by the participants, so that by the methods of
Will - Desire - Belief bring the circle of Art to manifestation, that the
Shadow shall take form in thy union.
Allow the circle to be cast as the coiling dragon as thy circumferen ce of

self. The circle represents not that which you seek to keep out, rather of
which you shall bind within - the circle is not a weak willed Christian
design as once was, no cowering done behind brittle words! Rather evoke the
daemon as your brother, lover, sister and friend!
The Circle Chant of Tracing:
"By the Circle of the Horned Moon,

By the Circle of the Three faced Moon
By the Circle of Cain, shall you be cast
Once by Shadow filled in Ahriman's hand
Twice by Noon-Tide Fire of Shaitan's glance
Third by Midnight Caul of Lilith's dance
Be it complete and sacred in this center of Arte"
91 A word meaning 'to encircle', in the context of ritual and magical workings, it is the sorcerous binding of
power or energy, that which may be identifiable with a charged spirit or servitor.
471
Within the circle shall both join and with the focus of the Succubi and
Incubi of the Agape of Magick allow copulation. Do begin visualizing the
spirit taking a form from the Passions of the Agape and both individuals'
willed intent of creation and binding. The Evocation dagger or blade
consecrated in Cain's name may be used b y both to focus and charge
their work. This is a working of the union of shadows into a servitor.
"Hail unto thee, 0 shadow thirsting daemon of earthen bound time Hail
unto thee, servitor of the horned lord of flame and nightways Blessed
are thee, who walks the gast - roads beyond our veil again With our
Dagger, born of Cain's fire and forge
I name you (name) by those hidden pathways forgotten by the profane"
At the moment of male orgasm, anoint the sigil accordingly, when the
partner has reached orgasm some of the fluid should be collected and
consecrated upon the sigil as well. Both practitioners' must stay focused
during and after the copulation, within the circle which is cast as the
collection point of such energy, thus charging the daemon accordingly.
"My flesh and her blood is that which begets the body of shadow that is
Daemon,
the Djinn fallen from the sky as the Lightening Eye - glance of Samael Do
take form and manifest our desire as it is so
By Sabbat blade I bind you, by phallus and blood - moon I empower you"
In the Black Chamber of Kabed-us-Spae

A Sorcerous Union of Encircling the Coven's Power
0 - The Flesh Sabbat and Congress

The Two were led by the Master of the Circle into a chamber, red walls and
a black ceiling. The center of the room was a large comfortable chair,
crimson with golden Chinese dragons embroidered in the fabric, a great
pillow colored red at the foot of the chair. The master of the circle wore the
mask of Shaitan, the Djinn of the Burning Noon Tide Desert Sun, horned
and inscribed with sigils of the Dragon upon it. Adorned in black leather
pants with his chest and arms blackened he sat one women in the center
of the pillow. The Priestess who embodied Lilith - AZ, the Whore who
rode the Dragon, the center of the Eye of Tiamat enfleshed sat in this chair,
legs spread, a tight fitting leather corset gripping tightly to her pale flesh.
Her mask was designed as a mask of Lilith, black and white with streaks of
menstrual blood across it. She was a member of the Coven for sometime, and
desired the Working which is rarely spoken of... Before her was the lady who
would in carnal desire know both the harlot and the beast, and would
awaken to their pleasure. The purpose of the rite was the consecration and
ensorcelment of the Ahrimanic Familiar of
472
Michael W. Ford
the Coven. At the northern point of the room, was a small chest and
upon it rested a human skull and a pot filled with a black Daeva statue (a
demon), a black and red candle, underneath and filled with soil with
various rocks resting within it. Next to the nganga was a skull cap
turned into a bowl with some powdered human bones and herbs within it.
The Priestess was handed a skull which was the vessel of Lilith by the Lord
of the Circle. She held it in her left hand. The Skull cap was placed next to
the Lady on the Pillow.
As she was knelt before the Priestess sitting lewdly in the chair, legs
spread and slowly arousing herself, the Master of the Sabbat loudly
vibrated the barbarous words of evocation, calling forth the Devil of the
Sabbat as an invocation through him. Each word although unintelligible,
seemed to cause ripples in the rooms environment, a great heat and fire
seemed to encircle them. The Master of the Circle began the Sabbat
chant, invoking and calling forth the shades of the night to encircle
them...
The Priestess recited the staota of Zrazza several times, announcing her
individual intent.
The Lord of the Circle began calling forth the Daevas of the RiteAz,
Ahriman, Akatash and Vareno.
"0 horned initiator and devils flesh

my cloak of serpent skin worn
clothe me in the Robe of AZ
in the Watchers field of time.."
The masked initiator then began reciting the Lord's Prayer Reversed, a
chant of summoning Cain. As he began reciting, the lady turned and
began arousing the Lord of the Sabbat with her hand. He then spoke the
Words of the Staota, summoning to go forth into the flesh of AZ-Jeh, the
great Harlot before him. All the while was the Priestess arousing herself,
chanting and speaking in tongues that shadow language which beget
serpents. She then called forth Lilith within the Infernal Sabbat, stroking
herself with a demonic frenzy. As she recited further, the Priestess took the
lady by the hair and guided her face into her gaping wound. The lady licked
furiously, which sent shivers up the spine of the Pr iestess, who while
growing in ecstasy, continued the chant to invoke Lilith.
The Lord of the Sabbat, kneeled behind the lady, who was moving her
right two fingers in and out with each slow lustful kiss of her now
swollen lips, began moving his hand between her leg. As he slowly
excited her, she grew very wet. The sounds of the lust as the Priestess
groaned in pleasure and the slippery movement of her licking enticed the
473
Lord of the Circle to slowly insert and engage deep within her. The lady felt
a great fire within her as he pounded deep, which excited her more. The
Devil of the Sabbat began speaking in shadow tongue as he thrust within
her, while Lilith (the Priestess transformed) was also speaking in shadow
tongue sending forth the Lilitu with her great lust. Both as the lady knew,
were calling forth the force of the Sun and the Moon into the circle, which
would bind them all as the Yatus and Pairikas who embraced the
Luciferian and Ahrimanaen Gnosis.
As the Priestess soon was preparing to explode while this lady licked and
fingered her deep, she felt the atmosphere changing more , fire and
shadow seemed to surround them. No longer were they just in flesh, but also
in dream. She heard pounding drums and slow chants. The Devil of the
Sabbat was spanking the lady hard on her cheeks, while he thrust deep in
her warm core. The red marks as a result of the burning
sensation drove her crazy, all the while the Lord of the Circle began
rubbing slowly her clitoris, with each thrust bringing her closer to the
climax she so wished during the Sabbat in flesh.
474
Michael W. Ford
While thrusting deeper and deeper within her, he began reciting the
Lord's Prayer Averse, used in Luciferian Witchcraft rites to summon the
Devil Cain, his very blessing in flesh.
The lady was suddenly thrown into a state of complete desire, lust and
demonic sexual fury. She began pounding back on the rock hard
member of the Devil, who grew in his excitement. His chants grew louder as
he rose to a climax. The Priestess who was the Mask of Az-Lilith moved
her mask ever so slightly to tongue the teeth of the skull, when the orgasm
hit her. She felt the atmosphere explode and with her great shuddering she
imagined a serpents' tongue slithering out of her swollen
475
hole and lick the tongue of the lady which brought her to orgasm. As the
serpents tongue danced with her blood came out with it, the envisioned
result of the Staota invoking the gift of Az, the lady opened her eyes, near
Cumming herself while she spat this elixir which was coppery and old into
the skull bowl. She nearly choked as she tried hard to gather as much of
this fluid in her mouth as she could. At this moment the Devil of the Sabbat
pulled out and stood up, the lady turned her blood filled mouth spitting
it into the skull bowl and held it up near the phallus of the Magician, who
ejaculated in the cap as well. As she mixed the fluid on her tongue she
came very hard. Az-Lilith was rubbing her breasts lovingly from behind
and the Devil of the Sabbat placed a small nganga (spirit pot) before her,
she poured the combination of menstrual blood, semen, bone powder and
herbs into the soil and on the black demon statue. The Lord of the Sabbat
performed a summoning of shadow before the vessel and blessed it with
envenomed life. The Priestess placed the skull in the vessel with the Demon
statue; it was an Nganga of Ahriman, the patron Daemon of Sorcery of
the Yatuk-Dinoih. The chanting continued, a necromantic
summoning using a known phrase in Yatuvidah sorcery-
"Zrazza, zrazza, usha nicht, zrazza umpeshu.."
All three now sat in a triangle with the vessel in the center. The two
removed their masks and all began slowly speaking in shadow tongue, to
ensorcel the shade within the spirit vessel. This was the birth of the Druj that
night, and the Triad had become as Hecate, and in their work of
Yatuivah, each was becoming as Daeva and Druj within their own being. The
Circle was closed, yet the Work had just begun. The Daemons were coming
forth into the World around them, and the Coven had much to do...
II - Self Love through Lilith
The Priestess stands before the vessel of Lilith, both women begin
summoning the primal daemonic essence of Lilith.
Upon the Altar a Skull Fetish of Az-Lilith is centered, representing the

spirit chamber of which she dwells on earth, the Three shades into One.
The incense of Venus is burnt and filled the chamber with a sweet
aroma. An image of Lilith is behind the Skull and a single whip laying
loosely around four red candles.
The Priestess and her female partner performs invocations to Lilith -

both recite according to their instinctual design, this is the path of which Az-
Lilith hears their calls.
Descending-
Michael W. Ford
"By flame am I consumed, Her Lust. Immolate me my sister of Lilitu"
The priestess whips the ass of the female, with each lash a name of Lilith is
recited by both, the willing embodiment invokes Lilith with all of her
heart. Soon both become lost in their own ecstasy of invocation. The
Priestess is then whipped in the same fashion while reciting again the
names.
III - By Filth is AZ born in all hearts
The priestess begins to lick her fingers and slowly massages the clitoris of
the participant, while she does such the Priestess recites -
"Infernal harlot, who shall take the seed of man, you shall taste the
pleasures of darkness, in the shadows of the moon, in the bright of the
moon, do you lust for the taste of my Cunt? Do you seek that which we are
in ourselves? Do you seek the ecstasy that Christ knew with
Magdalene? I as with you, Daughters of Lilith, in her presence shall you
taste my lips, if by chance that coppery taste guides you, that serpent
tongue so delicate."
The participant is feeling a fire arise deep within her, she begins to
tighten her muscles below which the Priestess can feel as she slowly
glides within her now, the participant in a state of desire begins the rub her
fingers in the warmth of her priestess, who both now feel the fires of which
Lilith awakens within.
"We are as Az-Jeh, the Black Harlot who consumes the flesh of Armiluss, yet
as the Goddess do we fuck to the gates of hell. Open forth thy path, Lilitu,
Empusa, Kali..fill my brain with burning ecstasy as I taste my sister of
witch blood"
With her tongue does she slither upon her sisters lips, flushed she
desires her tongue to be deep within the one drawing her before the gates of
primal ecstasy. The priestess kisses with a fiery passion the witch
participant, both tasting each other with lewd abandon. When near a
climax, the Priestess pauses and takes the Skull Fetish from the altar and
recites-
"I am she, of fire and filith, who is joined with the devil of the noon tide
sun. I am she who taught the fallen ones the arte of copulation, to use the
elixir and honey of the female to bring forth Dragon Children. I am she,
who by the shores of the Red S ea, fucked and brought forth my children
the Succubi and Incubi, to go forth and awaken mankind. I am
477
Lilith, the Bride of Shaitan, thus I am his compliment, as he is mine. In

our union we are life eternal, the mind of perfection."
Both the priestess and witch shall anoint the Fetish of Lilith with their
own juices, and then by sealing the rite return to their partners
accordingly.
Osculum Infame - the Obscene Kiss
s..;,
-'--,4---ie---) .,,, z.,, .,..,;„
... z:, — ,
f(cl
In individual and partnered Luciferian Witches Sabbat Rituals, a male and
female or Male/Male or Female/Female convocation may choose to utilize
the Osculum Infame, or Kiss of the Obscene, being an Averse practice of
Satanic Baptism via Sexual congress. The working itself is an act which
symbolizes and focuses the control of the fire serpent in a specific area.
The Kiss of Shame as it is called by Christians is one which may be practice
between two or more individuals, and provides a powerful tool of
Sexual Sorcery. A Male may represent the Devil but it is not uncommon for
a Female Witch to also represent the Devil as Lilith, they are both aspects of
the Adversary as being the Bride of Satan. In
478
Michael W. Ford
some medieval tales of the 0 sculum Obscoenum or the Obscene Kiss the
Devil in the form of a Black Goat had a black candle inside his anus, lit
from which other witches lit from this candle during the obscene kiss. If the
male of female who are embodying the Bestial God agree, they may
sodomize themselves with a black c andle and be lit. The other
practitioner (s) may light their own candle from this candle, kissing the area
underneath the anus before. The blackened flame is that of the devil or beast
totem, the very nocturnal and lustful presence of Cain as the enfleshed
Horned God. Thus, he represents power, vitality and focused desire.
Another version of the kiss may be done by male or female as well, bent
over and spread before the other practitioner or coven if it is such their
desire. A practitioner may chant a summoning spell of the Devil or Lilith and
then begin kissing or tonguing the anus. If it is thus their will, they may
implement fingers or a consecrated dildo (preferably Black or Red) to (if
female) the vagina or anus of the Beast God or Goddess. It is essential while
practicing this very act of Infernal Sex Magick, that the one
performing the actual Kiss moves their tongue in the symbolic direction
first of Widdernshins, counter clockwise and slowly lick and k iss the
anus of the male or female. With each tongue movement, envision a great
serpent rising from your spine and a power overcoming you. Each thrust of
the tongue is a serpent seeking the blackened pits of darkness, that which
shall lift you up into the Light of Lucifer in the Dreaming Celestrial Sabbat.
The practitioners may copulate after the Obscene Kiss and sexual
fluids be anointed on the Candle to represent and offering. It is suggested
to pour the fluids in an offering to darkness, poured in to a fetish or hole in
which the sun does not touch.
Tantric Positions
Suggested use in Ritual Magick
Within the sacred circle of Az, or the Triangle as you have drawn it, the
daemon within may ascend above you as Azothoz, the Angel-Dragon who is
born of shadow. In the rites of Sexual Magick, the practitioner has
become essentially a self-created separate being, one which stands
outside the bliss of nirvana. The Luciferian shall seek the ecstasy of self-
love, but also that which focuses future self-creation and progression.
Concentration is essential in such workings, as it is between lovers the
daemonic ecstasy of self-invoked power. It is not rare during such tantric
practice that the practitioners feel a type of "shadow" or force
surrounding them; this is the gathering of the Sabbat in one of many of its
forms. It is the widdershins circle -dance of beast and daemon, or
servitor and lilitu. Your desire empowers their drive, their activity and
479
movement. Use these created and attracted forces well; they shall be
servitors of your very lust and desire.
The suggested positions may be used to good end, allow your own
predilection to guide you.
Within the circle, let the female be joined to her thighs with the male, or if it
is of the same sex, let one be filled by the other. With each thrust a great
pain shall turn to seething ecstasy, each thrust should be a
determined focus of Will and Desire to allow that which they seek to
manifest. If the work is internal in nature, allow the feelings to be
carefully examined during the act; by both practitioners. As with each
thrust allow the fire which rises through both bodies to be focused
towards the goal at hand. Allow this to occur until exhaustion.
With the male practitioner in a standing position, resting on his knees, and
the female or passive practitioner laying on their back, the male in a
rhythmic movement thrusts deep in the passive while massaging her
clitoris, or if same sex masturbating the male. The experience between
both will generally be long and relaxed, which is suitable for those
interested in a more calming focused working.
With a female who is able to achieve orgasm the male or dominant in the
circle should begin licking the female until aroused, at this m oment he or she
should work one finger inside while licking the clitoris with rhythmic
movements, gently rocking the female. The male will more than likely be
able to move one more finger within the female, slowly reaching deep to the
hilt; this allows a strong rhythmic pattern. With each thrust the
dominant and passive participants will be able to focus on the goal of the
working. The female will no doubt reach the orgasm first, or reach to the
brink so that the male (if present) will be able to engage in intercourse.
Both should focus on reaching orgasm together during the working, so
both states of ecstasy may be focused on the goal of the working.
The Chamber of the Serpent
Sexual Workings in a bondage setting may also be implemented

depending on the fetish of the participants. Magick proves a powerful
drive behind S & M if practiced in any certain way. A basic description is as
follows.
Upon entering the room, one male and two female were already prepared for
the gates they sought to open within themselves. The main witch of the
coven was dressed in a strap halter top which revealed her ample breasts.
She wore also crotchless black latex panties and crimson whip
480
Michael W. Ford
boots, with two Luciferian sigils painted carefully in black on the sides. Her
hands were bare, even from rings and her nails carefully manicured. The
second witch wore black latex stockings and matching tight fitting panties.
She was gloved in crimson gauntlets and wore a skin tight corset
which gave the slight appearance of being extremely
uncomfortable, which aided her aggressive mood.
The male in question was dressed in a tight fitting latex body suit and
masked with a hangman's hood. He was able to speak and to see, yet he was
unable to have intercourse or even arouse himself with the restraint of the
latex. He was bound by two wrist cuffs made of a sturdy Velcro, while the
ankles were let loose with no restraints. A spiked collar was tightly
around the male participants neck, with a silver utility chain fastened to
it. One female witch held the chain upon attaching it to the male, while the
other looked on with her riding crop in hand. None had spoke at all once the
chamber was entered, as silence was the law of the Working. They sought
to invoke the aspect of Lilith in each of them, that
481
Az would manifest in the dominance of both females and the male would
seek this inferno by not being able to have sex, merely experiencing pain and
lust by both females. The second witch had a double headed black dildo
which was roughly 12" long, which she began rubbing between her breasts
while the first witch anointed herself in Leviathan oil, while the incense
burnt in unison and filled the chamber with a sweet and powerful
scent.
The male, whose arms were restrained, rested on his back watchi ng
closely the two witches, the first witch began by tapping gently on the left leg
of the man from above the ankle. His arousal was at first very slight, as he
was very uncomfortable in the hot latex. The second Witch began an
invocation -
"By the First Moon of Hecate-Lilith do we come as virgins unto Her, let us be
blessed in innocence and beauty, perfect love and trust.
By the Second Moon of Hecate-Lilith do we emerge as Harlots, blood

filled whores who fuck the living and the dead, for our desire is endless,
seeking the tongue dance of each other in anxiety filled desire. Let our
wounds be fucked with the cock of the beast, whom is hard and cold
member of Our Lord the Devil. Let us soon taste his pleasure...
By the Third Moon of Hecate-Lilith do we enter the graves of the dead, to rest
and seek the loving and chilling touch of the dead, whom each shall choose
as a lover. Let their cold embrace fill us with the shadow of Azael who walks
the rows of graves, who among the tombs seeks his Lady who is the Crone, in
age there is beauty."
"By Zazas, Zazas, Nasatanada Zazas I open forth the Gates of Hell
Az-Jeh, who is Lilith, who rides the Dragon do come forth through us, we
shall reach the heights of ecstasy through your Honor!"
The first witch who was tapping the males' leg was now rhythmically
chanting the words which open the gates of hell, moving further up his leg.
While doing this, the second witch, with her long black latex gloves, the
right hand moved between the others legs and made her way slowly to the
open area revealing her lips and began slowly moving her forefinger
up and down, massaging her clitoris.
The male who was bound was becoming more aroused upon seeing such an
interaction, and focused the thoughts to blood covered bestial shapes which
began to fuck in a frenzy, while female beastlike fiends covered in black
hair patches sucked the other demons off, semen spilling in their mouths
which created more demonic shapes which appeared as greasy looking
boars and pigs which moaned in desire. The male thought of
482
Michael W. Ford
slow fucking of goats and women, dragon-like worms moving in and out of
moaning girls who had passed beyond maturity by some five to seven years,
knowing the very desire contained in the image of the Devil and His
Bride. The male was at this moment very hard as the first witch, being
aroused with the second witch and her slithering tongue and hand, slapped
the double black dildo on her ass in-between tonguing her. The witch who
was receiving this pleasure ran her tongue across the black latex crotch
area of the man, and then spit at his mouth, while he lustfully sought
to lick from his mouth.
"Hekak Vozath Ka-Sath-Ompos" she hissed at him, the male hissed the
same invocation back, and both looked lustfully at each other. By this
time the second witch took her right hand away, now slick and wet and
moved the black dildo slowly inside of her. She motioned her hand in the
front of the witch who was now slapping the male on the right leg near the
crotch, the first witch with her tongue sucked on the slick fingers of the
second witch, whose black gloves had entered her and were thrust deep
inside.
The room had heated up with the smell of incense and body heat, feeling
like they were surrounded by fire. The witch who was thrusting the
phallus within her felt as if she had completely entered her within spirit, she
moaned with every thrust and the witch felt as though she was
controlling every breath which entered her lungs, the group was one. At a
point of raising the energy within the room, both witches desisted in their
sexual Agape and on each side of the male began caressing his legs.
Their eyes showed lustful expression and a hunger which could not be
sated. He remained controlled, willed and determined upon their magical
goal. While he felt as if he could in mere seconds obtain an orgasm he
carefully kept himself in check. The first witch whose hands were bare
carefully reached at the waist of the man to move his latex pants pack to
reveal his hardness. The second witch, whose hands were latex covered
reached down and with her right hand gripped his penis tightly and
began licking the head in a slow, circular motion. The male warlock was on
the brink of orgasm, filled with ecstasy. With a slow mantra he gained
control again and resisted the urge for finishing and spilling out the
energy. The first witch began also licking the penis of the man while both
women moved their tongues into each others mouths while kissing the
head of the cock. As the male was at the brink of shooting semen all
upon the faces, mouths and hands of the witches, they stopped and he
sought with every ounce of his being to control the explosion. At this
moment each practitioner in their own way invoked their higher Angel to
seek a defining moment in their own becoming; by arousal of the
serpents within does one grow more powerful in the Eye of Sorcery.
483
The male was untied to have his mask removed. Sweating and aroused the
two witches had him lie upon the ground and the first witch placed her
stiletto heel upon his face and applied a slight amount of pressure. The
second witch took a vessel used in the coven to spawn succubi and incubi.
She removed the top and began to lick and suck on the head of the penis
while pumping the base of it. As the first witch applied pressure, the
male witch felt an ecstasy which could not be described, a weight on his
skull and the slurping of the second witch on his cock. As he began to pre-
cum she jacked him off harder and faster, at the point of explosion the
second witch, who had known him intimately for some time, allowed him
to ejaculate in her mouth, and then spitting it into the Succubi - Vessel.
The male witch fell into a coma of ecstasy upon orgasm, and drifted
into the death posture as the pressure on his face was removed. He now
would see the face of the Hidden God.
The Ritual of Draconian Ascension

Transformation from Flesh to Spirit
The blackened serpent is a symbol of wisdom obtained, the knowledge of the

Adept who has trespassed the halls and meeting ways of the
forbidden, who has drank the poison of the serpent's fang, yet from that
struggle has obtained a new life, awakened and illuminated further by the
striking at the Anvil of Cain. By each strike, each spark which ignites the
clay of selflessness, Lucifer emerges again within the psyche.
This is the Rite of the Luciferian Ascension, the Agape of which

Summons the Black Serpent. Let the initiate being either male or female
choose a partner of art, who will by any means necessary arouse,
copulate and stimulate the initiate for exhausting lengths of time. This rite
is of the nature of Aleister Crowley's Eroto Comatose Lucidity', from which
the initiate is led to the gates of exhaustion and beyond, when the flesh fails
by overworking and the spirit must ascend by Will to the Luciferian
Aethyr, of which the spirit is emblazed with the presence of the Peacock
Angel, being Azal'ucel or Shaitan.
There are specifically two methods of this rite - Via Lilith (AZ) or Via
Cain. As Lilith, musick should be played in the background which
inspires dark emotions, chanting and somewhat horrific sounds. The
chamber of operation should be decorated in crimson and black, with
images of Lilith and her familiars, the Lilitu and Succubi. The Path Via
Cain is one where the initiate is adorned and surrounded with the
fetishes of the Horned God, thus in earthen decorations and symbols of
484
Michael W. Ford
Cain. Moroccan or Middle Eastern Music may be played to achieve the
485
—.mom
foundation for Gnosis early on, with the participant focusing on the
meaning and mysteries of Cain the Blacksmith and Luciferian Initiator.
The purpose of the rite is to cross a boundary of flesh into spirit, of

entering what the Cult of the Hand and the Eye call "Neither - Neither", by
which the senses are not recognizable in any standard fashion, led to a state
by extreme physical and mental exhaustion. It is by this path that the
magician shall in a state of mental isolation, rise up in spirit to the
Luciferian Aethyr, the very Sabbat of the Sun by which he or she shall
commune with the Blazing Soul of Lucifer, the Peacock Angel who is the
fiery initiator and father spirit of Cain. Within an initiatory sense
Azal'ucel/Shaitan is the Angelick Higher Self (what Aleister Crowley
called the Holy Guardian Angel) of Cain. The female and male magician will
both undertake the Rite in the context of both Via Cain and Via Lilith, to
understand two Aspects of the Adversary.
The rite is composed of several workings of causing exhaustion o f the

initiate by sexual arousal - over and over again. This is similar to what was
called the "release of woman", who in swoon communicates with her higher
self, the sweetness which is referred to her voice as the "Peacock" in the
"Ananga Ranga", her voice is the Joy of Mankind. Thus as the initiate
reaches near the final gate of the working, the Adept is led to Shaitan the
Peacock Angel - Serpent, who is Azal'ucel. This rite is equally undertaken in
the gnosis of Lilith (AZ), whose darksome embrace leads the Adept to
leaving the flesh and seeking the Hidden Fire of Her, she who is web to
the Crimson Dragon Samael, Ahriman, who is the Devil and Our Father.
This is the marriage of Fire with Spirit, the quickening of the Witch into the
Gnosis of the Lightbringer.
The Participant should prepare for the rite by fasting and maintaining a
strict discipline concerning physical fitness in some manner. The mind the
day of the rite should be cleared, restful yet lustful from one week or more of
abstinence from any type of sexual activity. Let his or her dreams bring a test
to their Will and dedication to the Path and the Great Work of Becoming.
Do not fall to your lusts and desires during this time period, it is
essential to restrain and hold yourself by Will and the discipline of the
magician, for the rite of which the Adept shall undertake is beyond physical
stress, draining the body and will require every ounce of strength of which
you may muster.
The Adept and participant (s) of the rite shall begin an invocation of Cain or
Lilith. Let the Coven choose thus their means and words of invocation
486
Michael W. Ford
as in previous rites. Barbarous words, chants or other means of entering the

fire shall be done thus. The Red Dragon has previously be awakened (what is
the Kundalini) in the initiate thus they have reached a level of Adept in the
Arte of Magick.

The Spell of the Shadow of the Adversary
1) To enter the shadow circle of Lilith for the means of transcendence of

flesh.
By skull and dagger cast do I summon thee, or Lilith - Az of Midnight

Shadow
Cast by the Light of the Moon in splendor, enter me, coil around me in thy
form of serpent, strangle both my phallus or clitoris until complete
exhaustion, then as I shall seek you shall I be led back to flesh, to build my
desire for the union of the Holy Fire of Iblis.
0 Lover of Midnight's Circle, drinker of blood, Maiden, Goddess and Crone do
I summon thee, encircle me in thy desire.
2) To enter the Forge and Serpent Circle of Cain for the means of
transcendence of flesh.
By Hammer and Anvil, of Dagger and Skull do I summon thee, 0 Father and
Spirit Cain, endless wanderer of the forest and desert plane, who is my
spirit illuminated by the Blackened Fire of thy tongs. As I was clay cast without
perception, thy higher soul was shown unto me and among the Fires of the
Sabbat was I envenomed with the Mark of Cain, the Blackened Flame of
Azal'ucel who is Shaitan. By the Fork which is the Marking Stave of the
Adversary, hold high into the Noon tide sun, that by the strength of Wil l do I
seek this hidden fire again. By Devil Art and Whore's flesh do I copulate, in
the desire of the Infernal Sabbat be led up into the highest Aethyr of the
Dragon, wherein my Higher Self be revealed.
II
Let now the Adept be aroused sexually by any and all means, beginning
slowly and building into fervor of lust and demonic copulation. Once the
initiate has reached orgasm, and he or she begins to fall asleep the
participant shall again awaken the initiate with sexual arousal. This
shall last once again until complete and utter exhaustion, the Shayatan
within the body shall coil into exhaustion once again. When sleep comes
upon the initiate once again shall he be aroused by the participant and by
the methods of the Agape be brought to a collapse of body and mind. When
the body of the Adept seem like it may not go any further shall
copulation begin again, when the mind goes in -between sleeping and
487
waking. It is within this moment, when the Mind begins to Ascend into the
Luciferian Sabbat, shall the fiery Djinn who is Azal'ucel be revealed to thee.
III
When the visions of the Adept seem to have ceased, let the participant
again copulate with the magician until total exhaustion once again,
sealing the Rite with the vision of the Peacock Angel. Upon completing this
rite, the next few days should be significant to the scrying visions of the
Adept, who has gained a meaningful transcendence of flesh.
In the Emerald Circle of Azal'ucel
"Spirit of which the fallen had taken strength, isolate and beautiful,
Angelick Essence, Azal'ucel, from which came into being Cain I do invoke
thee" the young woman chanted rhythmically.
The witch stood within the center of the circle, seeking to bring into
herself her initiatic guide, within a state of self-fascination and the fire of the
Aethyric and celestial plane. This was the rite which no man may sate,
which no lover save her Angelick Host may initiate further. The witch
understood that Azal'ucel, the Angel - Watcher who is revealed by the
hidden name as Lucifer and Azazel, transforms within the initiate by
bringing a distinct and unique 'fire' to the self; in a sense a continual
transformation from the Hidden Fire (Black Light) of Cain to the Higher
Faculties of Azal'ucel, the Risen God within. She has copulated with the
demons and serpents of the void, held intercourse and sodomy with the
shades of the dead under the initiatic guidance of Hecate, but here she
would seek the Light of the Sun in the Dawn by intercourse with her
Angelick Guide, Azal'ucel.
Standing within the Grand Luciferian Circle, she began moving

widdershins performing the calls, with each syllable and intoning
vibration she threw her heart and soul into it, invoking with a passion
which allowed her to rise up. Her invocations were intense and fiery,
flowing and as she chanted she spiraled the light down from the sky
itself. As dawn arose in the Eastern Sky she so summoned her Angel by
visualizing a Great Lion - Serpent coming forth with the Dawn and the
rising sun.
"Aoth, Sabaoth, Atheleberseth, Abraoth!" she rolled from her tongue in an

enthusiastic conjuration. She envisioned the Fallen Seraphim who was
her soul and essence, sexless, Azal'ucel took the sex of the witch who the
dragon had coiled within. She understood the origins of
488
Michael W. Ford
Azal'ucel, who was Lucifer, the first Angel who had twelve wings and
helped cover the throne of limitless light before his fall. Once cast out as a
fiery Seraph, his nature was that of a Dragon, a Beast who would
become Satan.
The symbols of Azal'ucel, each burning within her own mind while she
invoked, felt a burning sensation of excitement as she imagined and
visualized the Lion - Serpent which was above her transform into a
human shape. The beauty of this Luciferic Angel was of which could not be
properly described with words. As Azal'ucel stood outside her, taller than
her with darkly beautiful wings, long black tresses and a seemingly hairless
body, his continence were strength and gentle beauty, sensitivity and pride
in self worth. She recognized these traits within herself and Azal'ucel
took the form of her desire. His eyes were sky blue brilliance, which as he
put his arms on her shoulders turned blood black and his skin from a pale
to a ghost white. She felt a chill as Azal'ucel presented the darkness
beneath the surface, the very Daemon which she sought within herself.
With this stab of coldness she held within herself he returned to the
solar beauty he possessed.
She gently followed the lead of the spirit to the floor, wherein he was
called forth. She reached down slowly while her lips met his; this
embrace took her breath away into a sense of burning panic as he
passionately tongued her and kissed with a warmth she could not grasp. He
moved a hand slowly downward past her navel and began massaging her
warmth until she became moist and then wet with anticipation. His
movements were snake like, his mouth opened from tonguing her to be in
the shape of a serpent, slithering and lightly flickering on her neck.
Azal'ucel's movements were seeming instinct, yet the intelligence and
light of this angel was of a high intensity, it mirrored her most awe
inspiring dreams, her deepest desires for a union with what others called
God.
She looked again from this state of ecstasy to notice that Azal'ucel had
transformed below his waist to a scaly dragon - man, which a large and
smooth black penis, which pulsed hard with her touch. His eyes were
black obsidian which burned a flame she knew only so well, his face
smooth and sleek as midnight, which a presence in his features as
powerful as the Noon tide sun. The incense in the chamber lightly
perfumed the room to accent this rite of the union with the Angelick
Initiator.
She turned to move her hips in front of him that he may enter her there
within the circle of union. Feeling so alive so felt this angelick spirit enter her
warmth in a slow, steady thrust which set her nerves on fire, she was thrust
into by him with careful yet passionate movements. As he with
489
both rhythmic movements achieves a deep sense of penetration Azal'ucel

removes his hands from her hips. He slowly turns his hands with the
palms facing upwards; a golden flame emerges from each hand. The hour is
Noon; the witch opens her eyes with a d esire which echoed the
brightness of the flames, as perspiration began forming on her brow. Her lips
were now swollen, taking all of her angel deep within her warmth, allowing
his fire which was soon to be one to consume her.
As she suddenly felt the Angelick Lover began to slowly ejaculate deep in her
burning core, she contracted her muscles to squeeze him deeper within
her, to suck his penis dry with every drop. She suddenly felt the hands
which burned a Golden Flame darken and both hand touched her shoulders.
She felt a burning ecstasy she could not express, in a scream or in a cry of
joy; she lost herself floating in the light of the sun. Azal'ucel burnt and went
forth into her, her union with her Daemon complete. She collapsed and soon
regained consciousness, now she has begun to merge Light with Darkness,
from which she is going forth on her Path of the Great Work.
The Sabbat of Azothoz

The Fire of Cain
Godforms: Cain (Samael + Lilith = Cain = abufihamat = Baphomet)

Ahriman: The Black Dragon, the mediator of the manifest and the
unmanifest, darkness and chaos.
Azoth: A-Z manifesting Alpha and Omega, the beginning and end. The
Triangle of Darkness is the summoning place of the Daemon, including the
'AZ' of the magician. In the triangle of Azothoz is the Adversary
(Darkness and Light) = Sun 86 Moon joined in union. This represents the
beginning (Shaitan/Samael: A= Fire and Manifestation) and the End
(Z/Kali/Lilith: Az, the devourerer, concupiscience and hunger).
Here is the Great Work and Secret which this grimoire leads, yet none
may learn this secret by words alone. Task and effort bring you to the
Sabbat of the Devil and his Bride, and shall you know their venomous kiss
by the desire in your heart.
AZoth is the mask which is darkness, yet revealed in light, blackened fire.
From the self isolated or in unity, the self as the dragon becomes Cain,
the First one of Witch Blood, the begetter of primal sorcery and the first
Satanist, the very expression and vessel of the Black Light of Iblis. Cain
comes forth holding the hammer (his mastery over the forge, the creative
fire of Lucifer) and the Forked trident (to stab and destroy
490
Michael W. Ford
weakness and that which stands against progression, mastery over the
earth). Around Cain is the fiery dragon of Samael, his father the Devil.
The Grand Ritual of the Venom of the Sabbat is created by the two fluids of
the male and female, or male and male or solitary.
Needed: The Athame of Cain, Spirit vessel or pot, earth, graveyard soil,
human or animal bones, human skull (the vessel of Cain), serpent skin and
anything which represents your animal or bestial essence upon the path.
The vessel represents Mahazael and Ahriman, this is the
earthen/chthonic witch tomb which stores and encircles the familiar
grown in the soil of this infernal grave.The magician will enter the
triangle to summon and encircle the current of Azothoz, the possibility of
individual and daemonic perfection and self - possibility.
Participants: Solitary or undertaken with initiated partner (a practitioner of

the path). The elixir and venom of the Sabbat cup may be poured into the
vessel of Ahriman, to ensorcel the power therein. The vessel is
symbolic of the womb which creates the Luciferian and announces a
rebirth and resurrection as a God in Flesh, thus aligning he or she with the
current of Azoth, being the gnosis of the Fallen Angels and Watchers. The
vessel is also symbolic of a tomb by which the magician's body of shadow
and body of light is brought in union - the alchemical marriage of the
Dragon/Beast and Harlot, Samael and Lilith, thus bringing to the physical
body and soul = Cain.
The chalice of the Sabbat should be a special cup of which to hold the
fiery elixir of the Agape, the female participant (if there is one) should
collect some menstrual blood before the dark moon. You may mix this
with your herbs of choice and seal and keep from the Sunlight for one
moon or one month.
The male participant should enter the made triangle of Azothoz -
Begin congress or masturbation with the partner of the rite, invoking

Azoth by the visualization of the dragon and the harlot.
"0 thou succubi who grows in darkness, the blood kiss of the dragon
bestowed, who in sulfur and the cold of the grave is empowered in the
phallus of Azoth.
0 death bringer, who haunts with a kiss and leaves the carnal bed before
dawn
0 swollen lip'd harlot whose wound is never filled, who opens our heart to
ecstasy
0 whose mother is the moon, whose cold embrace seduces us to the velvet
caress of death, the coppery kiss which is given.
491
By Azoth and the mysteries of Agape, let the Great Rite be strengthened, the
Daemon ascened!
O Lilitu - Az, shadow maker, bride of the Dragon, become and encircle and
bless this envenomed elixir of the Sabbat - the very wine of the Devil!"
When the magician has reached the level of climax, let him ejaculate in the
Sabbat - grail, the cup of Azoth. Let the contents be mixed, the fiery elixir
of the adversary born.
"0 elixir of the serpent and beast, thy transformative venom and the
Azothoz of Life and Death - Do I ascend as the Fire Djinn of the Noon Tide
Sun, who is as a lion and immortal of spirit!
O elixir of the moon conjoined with the Sun, the Azoth created of Noon and of
Midnight, of the Dragon and Harlot.
O ecstasy drunken harlot, who rides upon the phallus of the dragon, bless
the envenomed Sabbat grail with the transformation of Cain, the child of the
Devil and Whore kiss'd
This I anoint with the Agape of the Cunning"
Tip the forfinger or quill and scribe the sigil of the Sun on your chest. The
0 with a dot in the center.
"Blessed is the daemon born - darkness and light be married in the Eye of
Azoth!
Holding the Grail of the Sabbat, meditate upon thy shadow, the bestial and
angelic aspects, the Dragon King and Harlot Queen of the Sabbatic Rite,
feel your shadows form according to the desire you harbor in your heart.
This is the center and beginning and end, the Azoth of perfection -
the coven of Daemon and Man.
Pour the contents of the Sabbat Grail into the vessel of shadow
(Ahriman), then with the Athame of Cain (the Body self-creating fire from
Darkness) directing the point into the soil of the vessel:
"I entreat thee o maker of the forlorn Witch Way, keeper of the Blackened
Fire, spark giver to the uplifted clay of man
Azdalaka Drakul Seraphis Arimanius - I am of the Sun and the Moon. In my

fire of divinity I may beget the shadows of darkness - I am the lord of shades
and king of light!
492
Michael W. Ford
Awaken as I have become, the fire of self illumination, vessel of darkness, may
my shadow rest within.
Quayin, Lord of the shadowed way, envigorate my spirit and flesh, I do

invoke thee!
At this moment I become the center, the source of Magick, the Lamp bearer
Where I may wander is my own deific assumption and task
I am the shadow which stands against oppression.
I am the Daemon of Rebellion and I bring forth a new way to Man and
Woman.
I am the serpent Christ, Antichrist who shall lead the Children of Rebellion to
the physical world.
I am the Dragon Christ who shall make my desires flesh.
Lord Cain awakens through me.
So I speak the words of the Serpent. So
it is Done."
Thus Ends the Grimoire of the Flesh of the Sabbat
This is the path which leads to the Eye of Algol, from

which he or she who shall walk this path with
dedicated intent, shall emerge as an embodiment of
Ahriman and Lilith. Here is the union of ALL magick, no
longer watered down or hidden from those who seek the
cup of venom. Now is the awakening.
This work continues with LIBER HVHI, the Grimoire of

the Qlippoth.

GLOSSARY
Ahriman - The Prince of Darkness in Zoroastrian Religion. Ahriman is

considered one brother created by Zurvan and was the opposing force to
Ohura Mazda. Ahriman is also known as Angra Mainyu, an older title
derived from Angra Mainyu, being the "evil" or averse spirit. Ahriman is a
sorcerer who achieved a means of immortality and power over darkness and
shadow. One who creates his desire in flesh. In relation to the sorcerer
or practitioner of Yatuk-Dinoih, the individual seeks by developing
their own system of sorcery, to become like Ahriman, just as did Akht-
Jadu in the Zoroastrian tales. Ahriman is called the Great Serpent or
Dragon, whose spirit is a shapeshifter and tester of flesh and mind. It was
considered in some Zoroastrian tales that Ahriman and the Daevas, his
angels, ecisted between the earth and the fixed stars, which would be
essentially of the element Air (much like Lucifer his later identification).
In creation myths, Ahriman first saw light and sprang into the air in the form
of a great snake, that the heavens were shattered as he brought darkness
into light. Angra Mainyu is thus a model of the Black Adept as the role
of the mastery of the Will and the Mind.
Akhu - The Ka and Ba in union, the True Will or Holy Guardian Angel and
Evil Genius (Shadow-self) conjoined. Akhu may be viewed as the Sethian
principle of the Mesu Betshet, the Children of Rebellion who in
independence, discover their focus in life. The union of the Red and
Black Serpent is a symbol of the Akhu, both in flesh and dream.
Akht - The Sorcerer who was the embodiment of the Yatus, the demonic
forces of Ahriman. Akht-Jadu or Kabed-us-spae as he was called was
mentioned in Matigan-I Yosht-I Fryan. Akhtya was the founder and
member of the Yatus, a coven of 'demons' and sorcerers who wandered
Persia, practicing and developing sorcery. The name Akht itself means
èvil', 'filth' and 'pestilence', thus relates to the initiatory nature of Akhti as a
sorcerer of the Adversary, by the darkness shall he come into light. Akhtya
or Azyta is thus considered a symbol of the Zanda, which is an
Apostle or Priest of Ahriman.
ALGOL - A word which derives from the Arabic Al Ra's al Ghul, Al-Ghul, or
Ri'B al Ohill, which is translated "The Demon's Head". Algol was in
Hebrew known as Rosh ha Shaitan, or "Satan's Head", as some
traditions have referred to Algol as the Head of Lilith. The Chinese called
Algol Tseih She, which is "Piled up corpses" and was considered a
violent, dangerous star due to its changing vivid colors. On some 17th
century maps Algol was labeled, "The Specter's Head". Algol upon some
research has indicated that possibility Three stars which are an eclipsing
binary, which may explain some of the rapid color change. Some writers
have connected Algol with the Egyptian Khu, or spirit. The Khu is
494
Michael W. Ford
considered a shadow spirit which feeds on other shades of the dead. In

reference to the writings and initiatory symbolism of Michael W. Ford,
ALGOL is the sigillized in one form as a Chaos Star with an Averse
Pentagram in the center. The Pentagram refers to the Eye of Set, timeless and
divine, godlike and independent. The Chaos Star is destruction, Change
and power - all of which emerges from the Eye of Shaitan, or Set. It is this
Chaos which then brings Order. ALGOL is the mirror of the sorcerer, one
who may enter and reside in the pulsing eye of blackened flame.
ANKH - The symbol of Eternal Life, vitality and health.
Apep - The serpent of chaos in the Tuat or darkness, the abyss which Set
fought with and mastered. No other gods could confront Apep. Within the
Luciferian Cultus, Apep is considered a form of Set once the God of Night
mastered the Serpent and could then assume this Draconian form. Apep is a
symbol of chaos and storm, but an unmastered sense of chaos.
Arezura - Arezurahe griva (Arezura) in the Bundahishin is called "a

mount at the gate of hell, whence the demons rush forth". Arezura is the gate
to hell in the Alburz mountain range in present day Iran. The North is
traditionally the seat of Ahriman, wherein the cold winds may blow forth.
Arezura from an initiatory perspective is the subconscious, the place
where sorcerers may gather and grow in their arts, by encircling and
manifesting their desire. M.N. Dallah wrote in "The History of
Zoroastrianism" concerning a connection with demons holding mastery
over the earth, their ability to sink below the earth and that such demons
around the time of Zoroaster walked the earth in human form.
AZ - Called 'Concupiscence', Az is represented as Primal Sexual Hunger, that

which eventually devours all things. Az is also related to
menstruation (The Kiss of Ahriman causes menstruation in women) and is a
destroyer through chaos. Az was connected with Sexual Hunger but also
religious doubt, which relates her to a Luciferian Spirit who broke the
chains of dogma by the Black Light, the torch of self -perception of being.
Az also represents Lilith as the Goddess of the Beasts of the Earth, the very
mother of demons and sorcerous beings. Az was said to be created in
the Zurvan myth as a black substance like Coal, which would devour all
creation, manifesting her as a vampyric being. Vampyric being simply
represents the Predatory Spiritual nature of the Black Adept.
Azazel - The First Angel who brought the Black Flame of being to
humanity. Azazel was the Lord of Djinn and was said to be made of Fire in
Islamic lore. Azazel refused to bow before the clay of Adam, saying that it was
profane. He was cast from heaven to earth and was indeed the first
independent spirit, the initiator of individual and antinomian thought.
495
■
Azazel was later related to the Watchers, the Hebrew Goat Demon God and
Shaitan. Azazel is a name of Lucifer, who is the solar aspect of the
Dragon, the Bringer of Light. As Ahriman was associated with the
Morning Star, Azazel is the later Gnostic and Hebrew manifestation of
Ahriman.
Azhi Dahaka - The son of Angra Mainyu/Ahriman. Azhi Dahaka as the

`Storm Fiend' has six eyes, three heads and three pairs of fangs. In
human form, he was Zohak, an ancient Babylonian/Scythian/Assyrian
King or Shah, who according to Zoroastrian mythology, was transformed into
the immortal storm fiend by a pact with Ahriman. Azhi Dahaka is said to
be filled with serpents, scorpions, toads and other insects and reptiles.
Azhi Dahaka represents the power of Will made Flesh, Zohak was said to
have propagated Witchcraft as common practice in ancient times.
AZOTHOZ - A sigillic word formula which represent the Golden Dawn

definition of the Beginning and End, Alpha and Omega. Azothoz is a
reversed form which is a symbol and glyph of the Adversary, Shaitan/Set and
Lilith. This is a word which signifies self-initiation and the power
which is illuminated by the Black Flame within.
Black Flame - The Gift of Shaitan/ Set, being individual perception and
deific consciousness. The Black Flame or Black Light of Iblis is the gift of
individual awakening which separates the magician from the natural
universe, being an Antinomian gift of Luciferian perception. The Black
Flame is strengthened by the initiation of the Black Adept, who is able to
balance a spiritual path with the physical world. The Black Flame is a
mutating concept, always burning within the mind and within the
practice of the Circle/Sorcery, the flame i tself changes according to
focus.
Black Magick - The practice of Antinomian and self-focused

transformation, self-deification and the obtainment of knowledge and
wisdom. Black Magick in itself does not denote harm or wrongdoing to
others, rather describes "black" as considered to the Arabic root word
FHM, charcoal, black and wisdom. Black is thus the color of hidden
knowledge. Magick is to ascend and become, by Willed focus and
direction.
Cain -The Antinomian nomad and Sorcerer who was the spiritual
offspring of Samael (the Black Dragon) and Lilith (the Red Dragon)
through the body of Eve in Biblical lore. Cain was said to have been the
initiate of the Caul, and through his first ste p on the Left Hand Path
(Antinomian practice) he is the initiator of the sorcerer and witch. Cain is
also the Black Smith who sparks the Black Flame in the mind of the
496
Michael W. Ford
initiate. Tubal-Cain is the Baphometic Daemon which is the enfleshed

archetype of Azal'ucel, or Lucifer/ Samael, the Dragon and Peacock Angel.
DJED - Egyptian, represents stability and strength, associated with the

backbone in the funerary cult. In the union of the circle, Djed is the Holy (or
divine in a non-christian sense) aspect in union with the shadow of the
magician, the very aspect of initiation in terms of the Great Work. As Djed is
considered the backbone, it is therefore connected with Set.
Ensorcel - Ensorcel means to encircle, to focus and constrain. Within the

Luciferian Cultus, ensorcel means the same as Sorcery, to focus energy
of self by Will-Desire-Belief, also representing the self within a boundary
of ones own design. It holds no association to the Christian concept of
'protection', rather it represents self-power and transmutation of the Great
Work into practical result.
Great Work - The Great Work refers to Self-Deification in a Left Hand Path
sense, the Becoming of the Magician through Magick and Sorcery. This is
the following of your True Will, that very aspect which drives you to
empower your life, the act of Sorcery with purpose of
mutation/ becoming. Initiation with self-determined focus.
Jeh - A manifestation of the Whore, AZ in Zoroastrian lore. Jeh is a

consort of Ahriman, the Sorcerous Daemon of shadow and darkness. It
was she who awoke Ahriman from his great slumber, that which no other
sorcerer, wizard, witch or demon could do. Jeh -AZ is the sexual and
inspiration drive which causes movement, friction and change. Jeh and Az
represent predatory spirituality, the hunger for continued existence.
KA - The Body of Light or Body of shadow in relation to Khu, the

shadow. In the workings of Sethianic Sorcery, this element is the "wish to be"
aspect of the Black Adept, who by balanced means based on his
initiation, manifests his desire accordingly. This is also the Body of
Shadow moved through the subjective dream plane, the abyss.
Left Hand Path - The Antinomian (against the current, natural order)
path which leads through self-deification (godhood). LHP signifies that
humanity has an intellect which is separate from the natural order, thus in
theory and practice may move forward with seeking the mastery of the spirits
(referring to the elements of the self) and controlled direction in a
positive area of ones own life - the difference between RHP is they seek
union with the universe, nirvana and bliss. The LHP seeks disunion to
grow in perception and being, strength and the power of an awakened
mind. The Left Hand Path from the Sanskrit Vama Marga, meaning 'Left
Way', symbolizes a path astray all others, subjective only to itself. To
truly walk upon the Left Hand Path, one must strive to break all personal
497
taboos and gain knowledge and power from this averse way, thus expand
power accordingly.
Lilith - The Goddess of Witchcraft, Magick and Sorcery. Lilith was the first
wife of Adam who refused to be submission and joined with the shadows
and demonic spirits in the deserts. Lilith was also said to be the spiritual
mother of Cain by her mate, Samael (Shaitan) the Dragon. Lilith appeared in
Sumerian times as a Goddess of the Beasts of the Wild, as well as Sorcery
and Night-fornication. Lilith was said to have many forms, from
beautiful women to half human and the bottom half animal, to half woman
and half flame. Lilith is also the mother of demons and a Vampyric spirit
which is a primal manifestation of the Zoroastrian and Manichaean AZ and
Jeh. Lilith may also be related to the Indian KALI,
whose name is one of Her 17 names.
Luciferian Magick - Essentially close to the term, Black Magick but

specifically focuses on ascending in a self -deified and isolated way in
reference to Lucifer, the bringer of Light. Luciferian Magick may in this
term make reference to seeking Light and darkness through magickal
development, not an abstract concept, but to manifest the Will in both
the spiritual and physical world.
Magick - To Ascend and Become. In a Luciferian Sense, Magick is to

strengthen, develop and initiate the self through balanced forms of Willed
Change.
Manes - The shadow of spirits of the dead, often visualized in certain

practices in the Yatuk Dinoih, meaning the focus of energy by the Minds'
Eye to forumulate shapes which mirror the state of the mind. Familiars,
shape shifting, servitors, etc. Can represent 'outer' spirits as well.
NOX - The formula of Black Magical Transformation, working with

Nightside or Averse Currents. Averse does not mean harmful but it does
general categorize as 'challenge'.
Sabbat - The gathering and conclave of sorcerers. There are in a

conceptual sense, two types of Sabbats - the Luciferian and the Infernal.
The Infernal is a bestial and earth-bound journey, similar to those shown in
woodcuts and gathering points. The Infernal Sabbat is sometimes
sexual, where the sorcerer may shape shift and communicate with their
familiars and spirits. The Luciferian Sabbat is a solar and air phenomena
based in dreaming, floating in air and having sensations of a warm heat
similar to sitting out in the sun. The Luciferian Sabbat is a strengthening and
development of the Body of Light, the astral double of the magician.

gathering, the Sabbat. This is a focus of inspired teaching based on

magickal development via dreaming and astral projection. The Sabbat is the
gathering of sorcerers in dreaming flesh, when the body is shed for the
psyche which is able to go forth in whatever form it desires. The witch
or sorcerer who is able to attend the Sabbat has already freed the mind
through a process of Antinomian magical practice, thus enforcing and
strengthening the imagination as a visualization tool, similar to
divination and 'sight' with spirits.
Seker - The Lord of Darkness and Death in early Egypt. Seker is related to
Set in the name Suti, being the Great God of Darkness, whose shrine is said
to be in Pyramidal in form, and was filled with the blackest darkness.
Seker in the Book of the Dead was a testing God, no doubt his early
connections to Set, the sender of nightmares. Seker, like Set, had many
serpent and dragon guardians which devoured it's prey.
Set -Set was the Adversarial God of Egypt, representing Storms, Chaos,
Darkness and the Cold. Set who became Shaitan was a friend of the
dead, but was symbolized as Isolate or Individual Consciousness, thus a
Lord of the Left Hand Path. Set-an is the Prince of Darkness, the God of
Sorcery who makes flesh his desire through Willed Magical Practice. Set
was depicted as a God who had the head of an animal with a long -snout, and
whose color was Red, representing fire and the heat of the desert. Set is no
benign mere intellectual God, rather one of action and rebellion.
Shades - Spirits of the Dead, ghosts and phantoms which walks in the
astral plane. These spirits may represent in some cases the body of the
sorcerer in the plane of the dead, a world separate in some areas from our
own living perception. In evocation and necromantical practice, the shades
are brought around and closer to the world of the living.
Sorcery - The art of encircling energy and power of self, by means of self
-fascination (inspiration through the imagination). Sorcery is a willed
controlling of energies of a magical current, which is responsive through the
Will and Belief of the sorcerer. While sorcery is the encircling or
ensorcerling of power around the self, Magick is the Willed change of
ones subjective (personal or inner) and objective (outer) life.
Staota - A Vibration which could cause death or some change, that

which would encircle the one sounding the Staota in self -focused energy. A
Staota is used historically in the mythological tale, The Matigan -I Yosht-
I Fryan. A Sorcerous technique presented in the Second Edition of
YATUK DINOIH.
499
Tishin - A demon of thirst or vampyric/luciferian druj, serpent and

daemon. Tishin is related to the concept of desire for continued
existience, thus immortality and separation of the self from the objective
world. This concept is within the gnosis of Pr edatory Spirituality and
relates the Luciferian to seek to expand the mind by initiation, to
manifest his/her desire on earth.
UMBRA - Shadows. Similar to KA but from the perspective in Luciferian

Witchcraft, the aspect of darkness which is manifested subjectively from
the Self. This is the mask'd desire in action.
Yatuk Dinoih - Witchcraft and Sorcery. The development and practice of

adversarial and opposing sorcery to encircle the witch or wizard in
selfdeveloped energy. The principle of Darkness and the Deva/Druj (Demon)
worship of this sect was in seeming model form, that by becoming as
Darkness they developed a Light within. This is a veiled religious sect
which survives in a modern form fueled by Luciferian Witchcraft and
Chaos Magick, although devoid of paradigm shifting and more internally
focused.
Yatus - A group of 'demons' or sorcerers who practice Yatuk -Dinoih,

sorcery and witchcraft. The Yatus were led by Akht-Jadu, Akhtya. They
were also considered nomads in nature, wandering through all parts of
Persia practicing their religion.
Yezidi - Considered 'devil worshippers' by outsiders, the Yezidi are those

who are dedicated to Malak Tauus, the Peacock Angel, also called
Shaitan or Lucifer. In the MESHAF RESH, the Black Book, Azazel is the first
angel, created before any other. He is considered most beautiful and is the
one who teaches and enlightens humanity. In the areas of Yatuk Dinoih,
Sabbatic and Luciferian Sorcery, transformation occurs by the embrace
and becoming of the opposing force, or adversarial (antinomian) ideas within
the self. The initiate moves through the magical current to strengthen his
or her own being. In a modern context, Malak (Angel) Tauus (Peacock) is
the symbol of solar enlightenment, wisdom and beautiful developed being.
Zanda - A Priest of Angra Mainyu/Ahriman, a term signifying the Apostle of

Ahriman. The Zanda as the Yatu or Yatus are those who work the
sorcerous religious and initiatitory rites of Yatukan Sorcery.

ABOUT MICHAEL W. FORD
Michael W. Ford has been a practitioner of Left Hand Path Magick for many years,
having personal experience in formulating a sorcerous path of Luciferian Witchcraft.
Satanic and Sethian ideology while having an interest in a wide variety of magical
paths. Beginning in various Satanic and Chaos Magick systems, Michael over the years has
developed a working system based on Luciferian Witchcraft, Primal Sorcery (based in
Persian - Avestan - Sumerian and Zoroastrian demon lore) and the initiatory model of the
Witches Sabbat. Mr. Ford was highly inspired by such works of Austin Osman Spare,
Anton Szandor LaVey, Charles Pace, Aleister Crowley, Idries Shah and a plethora of various
systems of Magick. Michael's first title, BOOK OF THE WITCH MOON was written in 1999
and features an introduction by Chaos Magician Peter Carroll (author of Liber
Null/Psychonaut, etc). Mr. Carroll wrote, ". If you choose to embrace and live the cthonic
murk and stygian darkness of the following chapters you will certainly get some return on
your investment of belief, for it has been well crafted by a master." -
(introduction - Book of the Witch Moon), Succubus Publishing 2005.
His synthesis of sorcery involves the union of creative imagination and utilizing the
darkest energies, archetypes and symbolism to transform the self into something better.
Much of the flavor of his writings are based on his independent workings in Left H and Path
Sexual Magick, Tibetan Bon-Po, English Craft, Zos Kia, Western Satanism, Sufism and
Iblis, Voodoo and more. For this very reason, Akhtya Seker Arimanius (Ford) is
considered a chaos sorcerer from his varied approach to magick from a multi -cultural
aspect.
Michael Ford is a co-founder of Coven Maleficia and The Order of Phosphorus, a

Luciferian Witchcraft guild operating in the USA and various other areas, focused on Left
Hand Path Sorcery and self-deification through magickal practice. Mr. Ford is the current
Magister of the Order and director. The Black Order of the Dragon, a guild founded in
1994 by Ford is also still in operation as an inner coven in TOPH.
Nachttoter (Michael Ford) is the founder of the black metal band BLACK FUNERAL,
