Fallen Angels: Watchers and the Witches Sabbat

by Michael W Ford

  This grimoire offers a gateway between myth and functional truth: the combination of Will, Desire, Belief with the arcana of the imagination shall potentially shape a world of pleasure, knowledge and power.

  Fulgura Inferna Lightning from the Chthonic Depths

  This is a grimoire of Black Witchcraft revealed to shred the trappings of slave-mentality, attaining the skills and knowledge of sorcery and by the Left-Hand Path. Ascend by your self-determined desire to the mountain-top as the living embodiment (essentially wearing the Deific Mask) of Baphomet-Cain-Azazel, regenerating and becoming in perpetual Apotheosis.

  There are many streams flowing from the dark waters of the abyss in which Leviathan encircles, inspiring primal instinct. Each stream is one tradition of ancient myth, spirituality and sorcery, many long ago fell into dream-filled sleep and awaiting to take form again. Luciferian Witchcraft initiatic teachings are protean in form, the whispering guidance of the Daemon-Genius compels each to use that which inspires and ignites imagination. Like the serpent shedding its’ skin, the corpus of ceremony and ritual traditions at times must be cast off and regeneration occurs with adaption in methods.

  Belief within the private circle of your practice must be instinctual: do not force a “view” or definition of how a Deific Mask “works” if it is contrary to your understanding. Simply put, within the circle invest belief in what inspires and ignites the imagination. Rational thought and logical articulation in speech within the daily world is a corner stone of Luciferianism; in the ritual chamber embrace the mythologies and primal rituals as imagination and fantasy serve to your benefit. Balance is sought between the Day or Conscious world and the Nightside.

  Magick is a Black Arte which demands the complete confidence of your belief. If you let doubt or outside condemnation weaken your resolve and extinguish the Black Flame, failure becomes a prophecy fulfilled. The teachings of the Watchers and the path of Cain are clear: become as Lucifer and let your Will, Desire and Belief command, manifest and raise you to the heights of power and wisdom!

  To seek the knowledge of our shadowed path, balance the symbolism containing hidden meaning of the lore of those who bestowed the spiritual linage of Witch Blood (the spiritually energized potency of those of our Luciferian pact of night-travelers) by the Watchers and subsequent Masks of legend. Philosophy contains herein the seeds of the Tree of Da’ath, the Green Wilds encircling the Oak by which we gather, align your very core thoughts by the 11 Keys to our Gate of Mystery. The Forge of Cain, the Blackened Fires and willed-shaping of steel from the depths of the earth can be mastered by Will, Desire and Belief. Go forth and become Azothoz, the embodiment of the Two-Horned Serpent.

  THE ARCANE WISDOM OF THE SERPENT Luciferian Magick in Practice

  To contemplate a potential philosophical identification with Luciferianism, it is paramount to define and understand the basic theory of magick within the tradition. This is an actualized path in which Thoughts, Words and Actions have consequences. This is the responsibility of ‘Apotheosis’ and determining your quality of life.

  In the modern age, the mainstream media and common understanding of what magick is can be traced to early JudeoChristian categorization tactics to remove the art from the spectrum of nature and deny it as something ‘evil’, ‘foolish’ or ‘other’.

  The Dictionary of English Language (1755) defines ‘Magick’ as: “the art of putting in action the power of spirits: it was supposed that both good and bad spirits were subject to magick; yet magick was in general held to be unlawful: sorcery; enchantment.”3

  In traditional witchcraft practice, a deep interconnected relationship with aspects of nature and the lore of root cutting, divinatory sight, spell castings involving love, healing and cursing, honoring the Horned God and Goddess within the living forests and a celebration of the folk traditions which give a basic concept of cosmic order from the learned witch.

  Ceremonial Magicians if trained in the grimoire structure of the Solomon Tradition often seek to compel spirits and angelic forces to gain insight, control and shape some event. There are still the spiritual ‘mysteries’ and often a vague dualistic power which act in malicious ways and the abstract concept of a ‘god’ in which JudeoChristian prayers and exorcisms are used to summon and control spirits, all the while cast in a fearful, protective circle.

  Luciferians and Left-Hand Path practitioners are opposite and different in basic philosophy and theory in practice. Luciferians do not submit or bow to an accepted ‘higher power’ even if as a Theistic Luciferian finds a spiritual communion with what they perceive as a ‘conscious spirit’ being an angel, god or demon. Luciferians may seek guidance while giving proper honor and respect to this perceived power but still understand they are accountable for their own life.

  Luciferians do not use Judeo-Christian invocations and prayers to command specific demons, powers, gods or spirits into doing their will. Luciferians do not cower or cast within so-called ‘protective circles’. If one practices ceremonial magick or primal sorcery, the circle is symbolic of the circumference of self and an energy-focus to encircle or direct energy into one place of attention. Luciferians have respect for themselves and the Deific Masks invoked or summoned to an object or sigil.

  3 Magic from Before the Dawn of Time, Ann Jeffers, a Kind of Magic. The Tradition of Luciferian Witchcraft is an initiatic stream of accessing types of power and energy by a modern syncretic evolution of form and function. Particularly, the Luciferian path is forged as a living and specifically Dual mode of initiation wherein the concept of ‘duality’ is demonstrated as an illusion and a false representation of nature and human evolution. The Nightside Cultus of Luciferian Witchcraft is born from several initiatic streams, all from the Adversarial Current in earlier forms. Not only from ancient pantheons and the modern interpretation of the mysteries, also modern manifestations of the Mask of the Devil.

  Within has origin from the specific initiatory rites of Typhonian Thelema, Kenneth Grant’s revival of the Cultus of the Witches Sabbat from Austin Osman Spare’s Zos Kia Cultus. The path of the Hand and Eye and the very gateways of Sabbatic streams found in numerous paintings and illustrations by AOS is passed on in the selfinitiatory path inspired by Witch Paterson, the wizened crone of the Nightside mysteries. There are other initiatory currents of which I have learned and found expression through: The Red Circle, a Satanic Witchcraft brother and sisterhood which began from a hereditary witch from England; further from a “Sabbatic” Witch collective and initiatory line of succession including “A Brother unto the Pact of Witch Blood”, my Oath of the Devil taken from my selfinitiatory work with the 1734 Tradition, lore from the Horseman’s Word and other Sinister Traditions.

  When the term “Sabbatic” is used, this is from the teachings I have long applied and adapted from my self-initiation with the Typhonian Thelema Current, Nightside Zos Kia Cultus and initiatic “Witch Cult” teachings made manifest in this ever-transforming Luciferian Tradition. With cloven hooves, I stomp upon so-called “lofty” traditions which cling to old Christian ideals and everbeneath the talon’d claws of the Raven’s grip. I always instruct adaptation, transformation; this is the Devil’s Path to Cainite Apotheosis.

  A ‘dual’ mode in basis represents that while upon your selfdetermined path, the Luciferian Philosophy establishes a means and method of consciously ‘forging’ your thoughts and slowly your complete perception; this initiatory process establishes in its’ own time the conceptualization of the primal instinctual or ‘shadow’ deep within the unconscious. At the same time, the Adversarial Deific Masks of the Sabbat and traditional witchcraft teachings are experienced and actualized for a framework of insight, knowledge and potentials of power.

  In my grimoires, a structure of history and magical lore offers a framework for the origins of the Adversarial Current within that culture; from the Egyptian Sethanic tradition of “Necrominon” based on Old Kingdom through New Kingdom Deific Masks and initiatory modes based from the Priesth
oods of Khem (Egypt); along with some Hellenistic accents including the Agathodaemon and Serapis. The syncretic transformation provides a balanced yet intense methodology of the Luciferian Current from a foundation in High Magick or Theurgy, literally Self-Transformation devoid of lower concerns in sorcery.

  The Adversary and the Left-Hand Path

  Luciferian philosophy is firstly a method of applying thought, abruptly ceasing with painful clarity determined ‘bad’ habits and changing the way one thinks about life and the world surrounding. The Luciferian Witchcraft tradition is a unique mixture of numerous magical, mythological and ancient religious teachings which utilize a specific symbolic structure to seek knowledge and power. The Adversary and the Opposer is the most elevated archetype and patron of the Warlock and Witch.

  Luciferians do not invest belief in Judeo-Christian cosmology and religion beyond the cultivation and utilizing the paradigm of the Adversary from the beginning to the end of the path in life. The Word of Power, AZOTHOZ, is a ‘voces magicae’ simply cloaking the unconscious power of the Alpha and Omega, the Luciferian Witch or Warlock as individual. Consider that knowledge is found in every symbol and sign within the Luciferian Witchcraft tradition. The path is also unique to the initiate and will reveal a path based on the selfdetermined predilection of harnessing the awakening of the Sabbatic Torch of the Black Flame.

  Luciferian Traditions conceptualize the Adversary as symbolic of the fallen angels and Great Red Dragon which fell like lightning and dispersed into different energies, powers and forces which challenge, create, destroy, motivate and elevate those of the Infernal Pact of Witch Blood. The Deific Masks of the Adversary in not only demonological names but also old deities from ancient pantheons hold keys to power and has connections within Nature and Humanity.

  The Persian sorcerous Prince of Devil’s and Ruler of this World, Ahriman is a different ‘Deific Mask’ than the Morning and Evening Star known as the Roman Eosphoros and Hesperos, the Satan and Lucifer fallen angels, Ashtar or the goddesses of Astarte, Inanna and Ishtar. If you so wish, a specific type of power and force may be harnessed and guided in manifesting knowledge, insight and power uniquely by our Daemon or Genius. Remember in the patterns and connections between culture, symbol, control and representation that the Adversary is Legion; different “Deific Masks” encircle specific ‘types’ of force and power.

  On Manifesting Luciferian Will Without Emotions of Guilt

  Luciferians as individuals illuminate and evolve by living the basics of our philosophy on the smallest, most seemingly insignificant level. Explore your thoughts, relationships and current place in life, identify your old-habit patterns of thinking which are honestly un-Luciferian. When you have the thought, simply change it each time until experience and insight causes mental change and Illumination. Do you have parasitic relationships? No matter if you knowingly take advantage or use “friends” you are supposed to have a common respectful bond with, or if you have continual one-sided parasitic relationship you must identify and adapt the patterns of thought on how this happens.

  To simply ignore such character faults is an affront to the Luciferian Spirit and begins to shape you in the “sheep in wolves’ clothing” category. To recognize your obvious un-Luciferian thoughts and interactions is a great moment of opportunity: this is where you break the bad habit and an act of initiation: SelfLiberation! Magick is practiced in this very simple yet significant way.

  Do not take advantage of those who don’t place themselves before you for that purpose and find pleasure in it. Do not allow others to take advantage of you, if it happens once and you balance the situation then it should be addressed. If it happens after, it is you who is the prey and weaker mind for indulging idiots! Never insult yourself by allowing another to dominate you (unless you find some bizarre pleasure in it, in that case don’t complain afterwards) and make yourself a terrible individual to cross!

  Luciferians should think before speaking and acting which if the 11 Points of Power are applied in your way of perceiving your life then useless emotions such as guilt and remorse should be limited. If you are in some competition socially or in a professional (business) setting for a desired goal and your obstacle is a co-worked or acquaintance, consider what your goal is.

  Once you affirm your choice to seek to win against your obstacle, then strategically approach it. When you conquer or destroy your enemy, rejoice and indulge in the pleasure of your victory! Never invest the draining emotional weight of “guilt” or “he was just trying to get where I was too”. Spirit-wasting thoughts of “feeling bad” after some words spoken or actions taken is insulting to not only who you are as a Luciferian, it also begins to destroy you slowly within your unconscious. Conquer or be conquered and finally, if you can’t live with it, don’t do it!

  Science and Magick: Know Thyself

  Science and the natural interaction within the material world as cause and effect, is a basis which may be directed and controlled by the unity of self-directed thoughts, words and actions; beginning with the energy created or gathered by the thoughts and symbolic understanding of patterns between our mental, spiritual and material world. Depending on the personality type and way in which you perceive the world will define if you understand symbols as unconscious primal instincts to be named and applied in an Atheistic approach, a spiritually aware individual who views the same symbols and powers as more Agnostic or even one who perceives the Deific Masks as spiritual beings. Cause and effect and the art of sorcery are one and the same: put your mind to something and it can slowly or quickly come to pass; Science and Magick are one.

  Adversarial Magick teaches the initiatory practice of establishing Conversation and illumination of the divine muse commonly understood as the ‘Daemon’ (also ‘Daimon’) or Genius; the Guide which is idealized in both theriomorphic and anthropomorphic visualized ‘forms’; imagine if your primal body of shadow (instinct, desire) united with the higher refined, conscious light and a Daemon taking an idealized, divine form as your ‘Personal God’ or ‘Higher Self’. If you can imagine what your Daemon would appear like, often assuming aspects of the Deific Masks of specific arch-daimonic powers which hold potentials of knowledge and insight.

  My initiation has guided me to deeply understand and look beyond the ‘testing’ masks and to gain access to the Powers which wear the images of Deity, Demon and Archetypes. Passing to the essence ‘behind’ the Deific Mask, based on corresponding God-forms the specific energy and subtle powers assumes various aspects manifested as Deities within ancient pantheons of numerous cultures. The Adversarial Current may dwell within many different vessels and forms, flowing down many different pathways

  Luciferianism teaches and inspires a path of self-reliance and trusting the instinctual guide of the Daemon; no longer is there a unconscious ‘what if I am wrong?’ and the desperate clinging to the concept of Monotheistic religious dogma just to either ‘fit in’ or ‘saved’. You are your own redeemer and the volumes of research in many Luciferian grimoires provides guidance in the knowledge of history, myth and religion to shine light into a majority of superstitious, ‘god fearing’ beliefs.

  The autonomy of the Witch or Warlock is an essential trait of the Luciferian. Once the initiating force and the slow, awareness of the Guide being the Daemon is made, trusting your instincts to allow the current to guide you with confidence in true grades of insight, wisdom and power within a spiritual and material sense.

  The Luciferian is a point of power, a literal ‘Azothoz’ center which is a temple of mind, body and spirit. The Adversary motivates and manifests in unique and individual ways, a malleable Current which ignites and shines the rays of Black Light. This evolution and becoming is evident in your force of character when you require it.

  Biblical Structure in Folk Practices

  Luciferian Magick as presented in several of my published works have initiatory workings which build from ancient pantheons and their cultural understanding from a ‘Left Hand Pa
th’ approach. There is no dogmatic tradition in which Adepts must adhere or invest blind faith into. Each initiatic path flows as a stream into the great fertility-bringing current of Luciferian Magick.

  Different grimoires adopt specific metaphorical structures inherent in that pantheon and tradition. “DRAUGA” presents the ancient Persian ‘Yatuk Dinoih’ is derived from teachings and methods of the Vedic sorcerers’ who honored Ahriman and the Daevas as bringers of power in this world. The “NECROMINON” is a grimoire of the Luciferian tradition of Hamar’at (Charles Pace), who is a ‘grandfather’ of our path today; Egyptian initiation by the way of ‘Heka’ (Magick) and the Sethanic Cult of Masks guides the Adept into a balanced self-transformative path in High Luciferian Magick. This is an example of the diversity of Luciferianism: “DRAUGA” is centered in primal witchcraft, sorcery and exaltation of the Daevas for this life here and now. The Sethanic Cult of Masks focused on spiritual Apotheosis and becoming ‘like’ the ancient Neteru of Khem.

  The grimoire “DRAGON OF THE TWO FLAMES” explores the origins of Canaanite Cults, Religions and Magickial practices from the Ugaritic, Moabite, Canaanite-Egyptian, Syrian, Phoenician, Hittite, Hurrian and Northern Mesopotamian pantheons and traditions. The ceremonies and rituals presented in this grimoire will explore varied Deific Masks and their darksome and illuminating powers. The evolution and transformative archetypes and methods of Adversarial Magick begin with order and chaos exploring Deific Masks of Canaan, transforming into primal demonic powers and spirits through the Medieval Qlippothic, Aramaic and early eastern Christian traditions.
