Luciferian Witchcraft

A modern approach to a medieval Magickal Art - An Introduction

by Micheal Ford ©2001

“By the oath of Belial and Saturn, the awakening of hidden light
The lifting of flesh through dream and chant
I call upon thee, Asmodeus, devil lord of the winds of forests and caves
Speak upon the web of dreams,
I invoke thee within my very essence, by serpent and wolf
By fire and earth, ice and snow, desert and heat
Pass beyond the veil little known by most,
For I am a child of this flesh!
I offer now my dedication of my own Will to the powers of night, and of the Great
Work itself! That through my dedication to the path of Witch blood, I shall know
the secrets not so hidden!”

Vampyrism

Many understand the essence of Witchcraft as in relation to nature and

general folk craft. While the folk magic brought from Europe flourished in the form
of Wicca, mainly due to Gerald Gardner’s (1886-1964) extensive writings and
Coven expansion. The system regarded Magic as a natural process, and to build
knowledge from the earth, from which is powers reside. Many grasped this
ideology well, given aid no doubt to the nature conscious fever of the 1960’s (1).
It is considered that humanity has destroyed enough of its natural resources to
begin the long process of re-building from the industrial revolution. Witchcraft
offered a sister/brotherhood of individuals seeking the love of nature and folk
magic, from which many in Europe in our current time are seeking yet again.

“Witchcraft is the direct descendent of ancient shamanic cultures and practices,

which has flourished with humanity since the beginning of time. The essence of
witchcraft is of two basic aspects, being the discovery of the self and the unity
with nature, and the mastery of sorcery and a balance of both dayside and
darkside practices.” (2)

The Sethanic Witchcraft current has been cultivated in Europe through those
who hold the key to the gnosis within their minds; it seems to speak through the
blood. This unspoken aspect of the tradition of the old is known directly as
Witchblood, it is a silent, unspoken yet natural degree of the folk ability to
practice Magick. This is the inner magickal voice of Angels and Demons, the very
core essence within each initiate that speaks to he/she of their own infinite
potential. While the direction of those involved in the Luciferian Tradition in
America are well aware of its context of approach, the defining state of
consciousness must be adhered to .
The union of some aspects of Middle Eastern practices such as Sufism and
the various parallel witch ways of tribes of the Deserts are essential productive
and beneficial for the advancement in human thinking. There is much to be learnt
from other cultures, however the heart of such always emanates within a focus of
folk magic or witchcraft.

The Order of Phosphorus is founded upon the techniques taught through the
lore of Luciferian Witchcraft, the lore and legend of the old transferred into
magickal technique. The common history of the gnosis is labeled Sethian as it
was indeed Lucifer/Seth and Azazel who brought the Black Flame to humanity,
enabled it to rise above the mongoloid putty of our ancestors and become
something beautiful. Witchcraft was a natural tool, taught by Luciferic angels
known as the Watchers, and their Cain – inspired brethren known as the
Nephilim. This is the lore of the Nightside, from which legend becomes desire
which takes flesh.

The Shadow – World of the Magickian is shrouded in arcane wisdom and

infernal teachings, all the while embracing the light of the Morning Star and the
Sun rising within. The actual practice of Magick demands patience and the Will to
continue, for the many challenges of such a path are meant to weed the strong
from the weak. What should be considered in some aspects is the fact that we as
humans have developed over thousands of years, still regaining in the depths of
our mind the great Serpents that dwelled, the wolves that devoured their prey
and the pulse of nature in general. We are of nature, thus a great bond should be
developed therein.

The Luciferian current in America is generally hidden from public site, allowing
those who work through such circles to build the Magickal Art through practice
and discipline. Those who enter the gates of Witchcraft will automatically view
the very Gate of the Left Hand Path. Very few will enter this infernal tread, as it
brings one to the ultimate personal power of self-deification. Many are not able to
understand this state of being, the ascent to become God or Goddess, thus
either failing and loosing their mind in the Sabbatic Circles of Time or renouncing
to a much kinder garden path.

The Luciferian Witchcraft tradition of the Order of Phosphorus respects ALL

paths that lead to human advancement and knowledge, including those of the
white light persuasion. We consider that every individual has the right to believe
and practice what he or she Wills, unless it harms another unjustifiably. The
Order of Phosphorus is against Bigotry and Racism, considering such as the filth
of non-human advancement.

The Order of Phosphorus as a whole considers itself as a manifestation of

Lucifer itself, those who join are literally “Doing the Devils Work” by bettering
themselves. Thought dictates advancement by positive practice of Magick and
Sorcery. Ones own darkside must be explored in areas not normally embraced
by occult orders. The Qlippoth as described in Michael Ford’s “The Book of the
Witch Moon” is a demonic astral region, beneficial to those who dive the mirror of
Lilith and become stronger. Through the diving of darkness one shall embrace
the light.

The symbol of the Devil within Luciferian Witchcraft is symbolic of

transformation within each individual, which appears at first glance, dark and
foreboding yet essentially allows a great light of wisdom and power to be
revealed. This is the Black Flame, the knowledge of self-consciousness and the
process of becoming something greater.

The Devil is essentially, humanity’s darkside, the very essence of infernal

teachings that reveal Man and Woman as holding their own infinite potential. The
light of knowledge which depicts Good and Evil is a great wisdom few may
handle responsibly, it allows one to create and destroy.

The Devil is defined as the personification of Evil, or the inverse ideology of

whatever moralistic system is popular at the time. The word devil derives from
the Greek Diabolos, which originally meant accuser. The word Demon is derived
from Daimon, meaning a guardian spirit. A demon in modern context (according
to TOPH) is a spirit or intelligence which can be related to ones Evil Genius, or
hidden self, or the Holy Guardian Angel, which is a perfected manifestation of the
self in anthropomorphic form.

The Devil would not lead us to death and fire, but to life, creation, pleasure,
ecstasy and wisdom.

Lucifer has been described within a Sabbatic context before, specifically as the
husband of Diana from the legend originating from Italian folklore. Lucifer (the
Sun) was the husband of Diana (the Moon); the two were joined in a great union
of opposites. It is the development of the individual towards a partial solitary path
which opens each aspect of initiation towards the advancement of the human
spirit. This means positive evolution, discipline, understanding and mental
strength is the building blocks of understanding.

Lucifer is thus the high symbol of Sethian Witchcraft.

The Witches Sabbath has long been a misunderstood and often

misrepresented expression of Magickal Art. It should be considered that the
Sethian Witch Cult is an expression of not only Folk Magic and Lore, but that of a
modern synthesis of advanced ideals of sorcery, psychology and psychic
development. The Witches Sabbath has long been held in arcane lore as the
dream – meeting of the Astrals and Spirits of Magickal Practitioners of the Craft,
those who between the Twillight of Dawn and Dusk dive the dream waking
environment and meet as spirits and other forms to gather under the Black Sun,
or under the arms of Luna, awaiting the embrace of Lilith and Hecate, the
Queens of the Sabbath.

It is through the Luciferian Circles that the Watchers and Fallen Angels
brought to us the gift of what is called Witchblood, the Black Flame of Awakening
that offered an awakening of senses. Each angel still exists in spirit form upon
the earth, allowing a linage to emerge from different areas of psychic and
physical development.

The essence of Witchcraft should be explored within its dream – based roots,
the touch of Sethanic initiation. As the Angels brought us the lore of the wise in
the early times, so we must continue to change and progress such ideas into
new ways and techniques. Sorcery is efficient as a manner of implicating your
immediate surroundings. This involves the specific use of Lesser and Greater
Black Magick in of its aspects – healing, cursing, astral projection, love spells and
more are essential yet undefined in their approach of performance. This alone is
up to the witch who develops his/her system based on personal and individual
preference.

The works of Austin Osman Spare (1886-1956) was an artist who talents of
draftsmanship allowed direct expression of his developed gnosis of sorcery.
Spare’s early drawings were founded on the belief of exploring the self, known as
the Zos (3) and Kia (4). Austin’s system of exploring the self by delving the
depths of the mind is best described by his art alone. The writings of Spare, while
being confusing and cryptic, were very poetic and strong. Yet, in the face of his
art were under matched, quite simply, the man was a genius!

Spare developed an arcane letter system called “The alphabet of desire”

which contained the structure for contact with the subconscious. This aspect of
Black Magick, allowed the individual to tap the latent powers of the mind and
make such work for him or her. The letter itself should be developed by each
individual initiate for his/her own Alphabet of Desire, this is where the connection
and development of Luciferian Witchcraft emerges.

Witchcraft itself, was silently expanded upon by Spare in his later years. It is
known that he had many dream experiences which allowed him to attend the
Witches Sabbath, as well as communicate with many of the attendants. Zos vel
Thanatos (aka. Austin Spare) created numerous glyphs and sigils based on the
astral conclave, even writing texts which included a full invocation of the
Sabbath. Such art and writings no doubt influenced the magickal stream of
initiation within many individuals later on, as well as announcing the formation of
the technical term called “Chaos Magick” in the 70’s.

Wisdom is the point of conscious understanding that is essential for the

practice and life work of the craft of the wise. One may find considerable study in
the four elements as described by Robert Cochrane of the Clan of Tubal Cain. As
is within all Luciferian traditions, the significance of individual study and
obtainment of knowledge is paramount.

The answers to all things, according to Robert Cochrane (5). are in the Air –
inspiration which is brought on the winds shall give the gift of answers to the
many questions you may seek. The trees will bring power and the Sea will bring
patience, for as Cochrane wrote, the Sea is the womb which contains the
memory of all things.

You essentially will be brought to listen to the elements, observe and learn.
The one who brings the mind in tune with his or her surroundings is better
adapted to work Magick and achieve the gnosis of which he/she seeks after. This
is primarily an individual process and involves a large amount of personal
dedication. The results, or treasure of the work is rewarded to those who
essentially step through the veil of waking into dreaming and emerge upon the
hill of the Sabbat, encompassing the circle of the Witchblood whom have offered
unto Asmodeus, the waking lord of the Sabbath.

The Order of Phosphorus, being a Luciferian group focused on solitary,

ceremonial and individual growth through one discovering his/her own foundation
of magickal practice recognizes the importance of the Sethian Witchcraft lineage
that is present within some of its initiates. It is very much like a call of the blood, it
whispers on the webs of dreams from which you are slowly lifted up to the Stag,
naked and awake through the eyes of Lilith and Asmodeus.

The Awakening and Dedication chant (performed by candlelight – indoors or

out. If outdoors, cast your circle in flour.)

"By the rights of pleasure may flesh procreate from within. Mother of the
Sabbath, Lilith I awaken to the mysteries of our craft. I dedicate my being to the
path from which my blood dictates. By the mysteries of the Goat and the Serpent
I come to thee. I walk now the Sabbatic Path, reborn under the Luciferic
Shadows and Promethean Light! Cain, wanderer of the desert dawn, embrace
now my way which is our way, that thy mysteries are revealed through
dedication!

Shaitan – Asmodeus – Belial – Lilith – Hecate Eko, Eko Lucifer!"
