See all formats and editions
What is Luciferianism and how is it different from other beliefs and paths? What do Luciferians actually practice and where is this philosophy derived from? These questions and so many more are explained within this concise, philosophically-oriented book which is entirely focused on the spiritual and carnal approach towards life and the desire towards self-excellence and power. Luciferianism must be approached as a way of thinking, shaping the mind and attaining insight and power within your life. This work is the Introduction of the Greater Church of Lucifer (GCOL) and its philosophy is presented by Michael W. Ford, Jacob No, Jeremy Crow and Hope Marie; each has provided foundation for the GCOL and the New Luciferian Era! Eosphoros is focused on applying the self-transforming philosophy into tangible results, without any specific concepts of Ceremonial Magick. Beginning with the ideals of a Luciferian, exploring the origins, beliefs of life after death and how to attain individual power, Eosphoros offers The Luciferian Philosophy to those with the courage and wisdom to explore it.

Michael W Ford

Author of over 27 books, Michael W. Ford is a leading Luciferian visionary and Left-Hand Path Adept and Magician. Ford’s publications are both tomes of magical instruction and academic research to provide the history, lore and modern practices within Luciferianism. These published grimoires unveil the Luciferian Tradition, founded upon a rational philosophy contained in the “11 Luciferian Points of Power”. Each book is envisioned by Michael as possessing a patron spirit or energy which if approached seriously by the reader, can inspire the gateway of the imagination and authentic esoteric initiation.

Luciferian Philosophy is an adaptable foundation of Left-Hand Path Magick and Spirituality, presented in each book. Each publication presents a deeply researched, developed and refined initiatory teachings which reveal the real nature of “forbidden” Magick including Luciferian, Satanic, Dark Pagan, Black Witchcraft and Vampyre teachings within the Left-Hand Path. Mr. Ford’s books have been translated and published in Spanish, French, Italian, German and Serbian. Luciferianism is not a “trend” or “fad”; it is an actualized philosophy and initiatory path in which the individual may feel free to explore and practice similar esoteric teachings and traditions as he or she chooses.

Michael, whose magical name is Akhtya, is also a composer and recording artist. His work includes the dark ritualistic ambient AKHTYA, black metal American pioneer project BLACK FUNERAL, dark industrial and black metal VALEFOR, satanic black ambient ritual project, DARKNESS ENSHROUD and a member of the dark dungeon synth and black metal band STRIGOII and the Vampyric Dark Ritual project AKHKHARU. Previous works include the medieval ritual music project HEXENTANZ, the ritualistic Industrial band PSYCHONAUT 75 also.

Michael W. Ford is also the co-owner of one of the first Left-Hand Path shops, LUCIFERIAN APOTHECA (est. 2007), found at www.luciferianapotheca.com

5.0 out of 5 stars Luciferianism, in a nutshell.
Reviewed in the United States on May 22, 2015

Luciferianism is a path that is syncretic in nature; it is based upon a conglomeration of numerous earlier philosophies and religions. These ideas from over the ages have been harvested for their usefulness and formed into a new essence, Luciferianism. Up until now one had to read numerous tomes in order to find the core essence, and in fact intensive study will always be part of the path, but still...something was needed. What was needed was a comprehensive yet concise explanation of the basics. Stripped down to plain language. This is a book that does just that.

Ostensibly this book is an outline of the philosophy of the Greater Church of Lucifer, and how this is codified by Luciferianism. Given that the authors are not only founder Jacob No, but also noted Luciferian philosophers and writers Michael W. Ford, Jeremy Crow, and Hope Marie, this book is also an extremely comprehensive look at Luciferianism in general. Michael W. Ford is arguably the leading writer on Luciferianism, and is also the one who brought it to modern prominence. His research is known to be impeccable and it comes to bear in this work.

So what of the book itself? It's a short yet dense little volume packed full of plain-language, demystified explanations of the philosophy of Luciferianism (specifically as codified by the Greater Church of Lucifer) in practical terms as well as an explanation of the lineage of the ideology. The historical antecedents of Luciferianism from the ancient world until now. This is done in a way that is not only graspable for someone completely new to Luciferianism or the Left Hand Path, but will also make the longtime practitioner cheer that there is finally a book we can point to out there for people who ask us about what we believe and do.

If you're looking for a concise, clear, plain language explanation of Luciferianism, in general, and a specific outline of the philosophy of The Greater Church of Lucifer, then look no further than this tome.

A good book if you want an introduction to Luciferian philosophy that is longer that the very short texts found on the web, although too repetitive in some parts, I felt it was mainly directed to Christians and Atheists, but it includes some interesting bits like its definition of the black flame and the difference with Buddhism.

3.0 out of 5 stars I wouldn't pay a lot for it.
Reviewed in the United States on March 16, 2016

The book, itself, was very informative, yet still left many subjects unaddressed. It is a good starting point for any practitioners, but it also tends to come across repetitive. The best way to summarize this book is to think of a more logical approach to Anton LaVey's The Satanic Bible. The idea of indulgence is repeated, as it is in LaVey's book, but it also stresses practicality. However, at times the book will contradict itself. For example, the authors acknowledge that some practitioners believe in Lucifer, or any of the deific masks, as actual entities, and they will say that it is valid if it is the individual's belief. However, they will also stress that there are no deities, and they belittle the idea of any Luciferian believing in such a way. Other subjects, such as the New Luciferian Era, were briefly touched upon, but never fully explained. At the same time, there are some subjects that I feel are explained too much. Michael Ford's books are quoted and referred to several times, mostly by himself. This seems to make the book feel more like a glorified commercial for Michael Ford and the Greater Church of Lucifer. The very numerous grammatical errors do make this a difficult read. There are many sentences that get repeated, and some misplaced words here and there. Overall, I would say that it is worth a read, but bear in mind that the majority of this book is common sense.

This book provide a easy to understand explanation of the Luciferian Philosophy. It also explains the Greater Church Of Lucifer and tells people what the Church is and what it isn't. A very good book to read provides a lot of information and clears up a lot of misconceptions.

I have been an occultist for a long time now. I never really explored any form of Satanism, though, as considered it to be the realm of poseurs. This book has shown me that that is not quite true. The authors are learned and have insights that have given new impetus to my magical journey. Get this book and read with an open mind.

1.0 out of 5 stars Couldn't take it seriously
Reviewed in the United States on January 17, 2016
Verified Purchase
Based on some of the earlier reviews here, I was expecting to read a book that was revolutionary in the way it presented the philosophy of Luciferianism. What I found instead was a book rife with spelling errors, punctuation and grammar mistakes along with a "philosophy" that is nothing new if you've read the likes of Crowley, Spare, etc. I got a little over halfway through the book (in one sitting) before I decided I just couldn't take it anymore.
I couldn't believe that an organization (the GCOL) that is trying to be taken seriously would release this as their introductory text. It felt like my old middle school friends and I decided to start a church and wrote a book.
You may find a couple of interesting tidbits regarding the mythology of Lucifer but the mistakes make it so hard to read that it's not worth your trouble. I really hope that the GCOL at least invests in a decent editor for the next version of this book.

Als ich das Buch sah, dachte ich wow wieder ein neues Buch von Altmeister Michael W. Ford! Hatte mich schon richtig drauf gefreut, weil ich weiß das egal welches Buch er schreibt, man immer wieder überrascht wird und vieles dazu lernt! Auch die Vorschau im Inhaltsverzeichnis versprach schon vieles! Aber Pustekuchen! Der Stil von Michael W. Ford kommt nur an wenigen Stellen wirklich durch! Er schrieb dieses Buch mit 4 Menschen zusammen. Ich war wirklich ein bisschen enttäuscht und frage mich im Nachhinein, was ich damit anfangen soll! Selbst als er mit ONA zusammen Bücher schrieb kam da mehr raus, als jetzt in diesem vorliegendem Buch. Schade, eigentlich. denn ich bin von Michael Besseres und Anderes gewohnt mit viel Tiefgang! Hier wird auf die Geschichte des Luciferismus eingegangen und wie er geschichtlich entstanden ist. Wenig Rituale, wenig Siegel! Nur eine kurze Erläuterung von Ahriman und Akhtya in Verbindung mit Azaluzel! Also die Verbindung Azazel und Lucifer! Doch auch dieses Thema wurde nur oberflächlich bearbeitet! Das ist definitiv nicht der Stil von Michael W. Ford!!! Ich wünsche mir das er noch mal ein Buch raus bringt, wo genau diese Themen noch mal überarbeitet werden und dann von ihm persönlich erscheint und geschrieben wird! Da sind echt riesen Unterschiede bei!

P.S.: Außerdem erkennt man die Bücher von Michael W. Ford daran das direkt unten auf dem Buchdeckel fett sein Name steht!!!! Auch wenn Amazon hier schreibt es sei von Michael W. Ford, schaut Euch den Buchdeckel an und den Rückdeckel des Buches und ihr werdet es sehen was ich meine! Es ist in etwa wie der Vergleich mit dem Buch " Die Philosophy des Satanismus von Lars Peter Kronlob " !!! Nur das selbst in diesem Buch mehr zum Inhalt drin stand! Aber wie sagt man doch ? Viele Köche verderben den Brei!
