Product Description
"This is the revealed grimoire of the left-hand path. There is power for those willing to drink from the cup of the Beast and his Bride, the Devil's Harlot. Herein is the path as walked by one who seeks to reveal the True Path of Ahriman and Lilith-Az, to manifest in flesh the spirit of Azi Dahaka and Cain. Herein is magick from the foundation to higher pathworkings of Sorcery and Black Magick . . . here the works which burn away the modern white-washing of so-called magick and or Witchcraft . . . herein are the rituals of Lucifer, Ancient Persian Sorcery, Goetic magick and forbidden sex magick"

For more than a decade left hand path and dark withcraft expert Michael W. Ford has laboured in the forbidden fields of the dark side of the occult, lit by the pale moon of Luciferian ambition and Satanic drive. Luciferian Witchcraft represents perhaps the major part of his published accomplishments to date. The first editions of most of his works are disappearing into private libraries of occult collector's items-and their prices are increasing enormously. With this fact in mind, Luciferian Witchcraft gathers together in one huge compendium many of the shocking rituals and bizarre initiation rites of black magick that have established Ford as the most cutting-edge exponent of the left hand path tradition in America today. The book begins with a lengthy and highly scholarly exposition of the place of the Draconic adversary within historical magick. Set Typhon, the Egyptian God of Darkness, Ahriman, the Persian Devil and his Whore of Darkness, the Adversary and the Bride of the Devil, Cain the Son, the Gnostic Yaldabaoth, "Child of Chaos", the Path of the Crooked Serpent- Leviathan and Beelzebub and Tiamat, Pazuzu, and Moloch are only some of the topics and figures covered. The second part of the book,The Grimoires of Luciferian Witchcraft, includes several of his most infamous graveyard workings, together with the complete version of the Luciferian Goetia- a completely revised and updated version of the Goetia grimoire from the Lesser Key of Solomon the King. Part three covers Yatukan and Ahrimanic Persian sorcery. As I have mentioned before, it is the willingness and creativity of Ford to look beyond worn-out Christian- and Hebrew-based demonology in search of black magick inspiration that marks his work as unique. Here, forbidden heresies of millenia-old Zoroastrian thought reveal their diabolic secrets to the sorceror. Finally, the last part of the tome has chapters on Sethanic and Angelic Magick, in which the primal force of Set Typhon and the infamous Watchers of the book of Enoch are invoked for cosmic diabolism, and several new and strange sex magick rites of the left hand path are revealed. This totally unique, enormous tome, is finally available. Grab it now and seize the power for yourself!

4.0 out of 5 stars Intense and rewarding, May 14, 2006

By	L.P. "Leonus Amongus" (garden valley, ca United States) - See all my reviews

I wasn't sure what to expect when I ordered this book. It's huge! At first I was dissapointed with the quality of the illustrations, but the more I look at them, the better I like them. I love some of them now. But I didn't buy the book for the pictures. It sounds silly now, but I didn't expect the book to be so,... dark. I was following up references in The Pillars of Tubal Cain and while that work is not at all 'fluffy', it's spun sugar compared to this. And I don't mean that as a put down for The Pillars of Tubal Cain. Not at all. The sheer intensity of this book caught me off guard. It made me nervous, made me hesitate, but I am so glad that I read on. This book is challenging, intense, and deeply rewarding. And I've only gotten to his Goetia. I can only read a little at a time, there is just so much there! This work has truly affected me. Inspired me.
My deepest thanks to Mr. & Mrs. Ford both.

5.0 out of 5 stars A most enjoyable and throught provoking read, April 14, 2006

By	Dr. John L. Slevin "HP Order Of The 4" (Colorado Springs, CO. USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I must preface this review in stating that I have been involved within the occult for most of my life, and that is a large amount of time. I have read more books than I care to admit, and I have discarded or thrown away most of them. I am a Black Magickian (I guess it is called the left hand path now). This book is very well thought out and is specifically designed to challenge ones thoughts about what they are doing, and if they actually have the intestinal fortitude to be a Black Magickian. Most books on magick use many christian godforms to protect you from what you are trying to deal with. This book takes the standard formats and changes them subtly to bring Satan/Lucifer into the presence and challenges you to have the courage to deal with these forms in a more one on one environment. Basically you are working without a net. Mr. Ford...you are to be commended for your courage in this matter, and your willingness to FINALLY put into print what has been needed for a very long time. This book is not for those who are dabblers our those weak minded individuals who want to be thought of as Black Magickians, this book will put you in the presence of very real and very powerful forces. If you are not serious about your craft then this book will make a nice addition to your collection of occult information, however, if you are willing to actually take the plunge and put your fear behind you then this book is excellent. Mr. Ford...I encourage you to put out more information on what you have learned and what you are learning. You have taken up where Crowley left off, this book will introduce you to the forces of hell if you really want to go there and not just pretend.
Great book, I strongly recommend anyone who buys this book to invest the money in ALL of MR. Fords books and really get a grasp on what he has opened up for you.

5.0 out of 5 stars Still digesting everything., July 26, 2006

By	Josh Hardee "Vovin Oiad" (Jacksonville, Fla. USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

At first, when I skimmed through this, I was not exactly over-impressed. On a second reading, however, I found myself thinking differently. There's a line from a song that goes "You know evil is an exact science, being carefully and correctly wrong." I think this book is an excellent example of that statement. There are bits and pieces and parts that may not be "right", but...as a whole...it's all "exactly correct". No matter how you feel about magic (or magick, or maaijeyckie or however you want to speel it...) this book will definitely make an impression on you.

I am not qualified to judge the scholarly contents, being no scholar myself, but I can tell you that this book and it's attendant ritual book, "Liber HvHi", are definitely powerful, in an insidious fashion. At first they are easy to blow off as more "OOO SPOOOKY!" posturing from a "practitioner of the Left Hand Path", but...Well.

I find myself recommending both of these books, if for no other reason than that do have strong emotional content and are powerful workings in their own rights.
