About the author
Michael W. Ford
68 books175 followersMichael W. Ford was born in 1976 to William and Judith Ford. His older brother, Mark, was a successful drummer who was on the road through most of Ford's early years. Ford began writing horror fiction as a child. In the late 1980s Ford attended The Cushman School in Miami, Florida, where he found an interest in music and history.
In 1990 Ford started playing in death-metal bands in Indianapolis, having spent time there again before relocating to Homestead and the Miami area in 1991. Ford and his family lost all of their possessions in Hurricane Andrew in 1992, as a result of which Ford moved to Indianapolis and started Black Funeral with various session members. Ford's interest in Magick and specifically Satanism was into its early phase, echoed in Ford's lyrics at the time. Ford studied the history of occultism and magick for some time before joining various left hand path orders from 1993 to 1995.
Recording with Black Funeral and Darkness Enshroud, a ritualistic-darkwave band, Ford relocated for the first time to Houston, Texas, having just recorded and released his first industrial record, Valefor - Death Magick on Cold Meat Industries "Death Factory Records" in 1996.
Michael Ford was granted the Order of Nine Angles command by Christos Beest in 1996, from which Ford operated until 1998 in Indianapolis. Ford left the active ONA due to what he has described as its Neo-Fascist stance and political ideals, which in his view are not an inherent part of Magick or Satanism.
Michael spent several years developing his Magickal practice between 1998 and 2000, when moving to Houston, Texas in October 1999 and editing his Book of the Witch Moon, where he had previously corresponded with Kenneth Grant. Ford continued working on music and recorded several ritual-music albums in the late 1990s, under the band name Psychonaut. Michael's interest in the works of Austin Osman Spare, Kenneth Grant and the mythology of the Adversary throughout the history of humanity were his primary interest during that time.
In 2001 Ford met Dana Dark, a gothic model and vocalist from Houston, and two others to begin recording ritual workings and the practice of the specific "luciferian" magick. The band recorded several albums from that point on, performing several live rituals. The group practiced magick as a Coven during this time period.
In 2003 Ford began publishing chapbooks and distributing them at low cost throughout the Satanic and Left Hand Path underground, which was designed as a type of "hit and run" guerrilla tactic. Ford had written in numerous published interviews that his goal was to upset and redefine the often-stagnant occult genre with an "Adversarial" approach. 2004 brought Michael's first contribution to a soundtrack, during his collaboration with Hexentanz, a ritual-medieval music project, with The Soil Bleeds Black and Psychonaut 75.
Ford published Luciferian Witchcraft in 2005, which quickly reached LULU.com's top 100, where it remained through 2008. Soon after Ford published numerous other left hand path and satanic books, redefining and presenting a new approach to so-called Dark paths of Magick and religion.
Ford is also the founder of The Order of the Phosphorus and The Black Order of the Dragon and a co-founder of The Church of Adversarial Light, a Luciferian Church. Ford has been an initiate and developer of the Luciferian Path for over ten years and also takes a significant interest in ancient Zoroastrian mysteries and Yatukih Sorcery. Ford is the co-owner of Succubus Productions and The Luciferian Apotheca.
He has done soundtracks for the movies Cadaver Bay and Hell Bound Book of the Dead released in 2004.

Enjoyable but not his crown acheivement. My favorite verse is the recommendation to only practice analingus - in a widdershins direction.

Luciferianism and sex magick aren't exactly close to my beliefs or practices, so I don't have much to say about the legitimacy of the practical parts of the book.
It's easy to understand and surprisingly multi-faceted for a Luciferian book, including aspects of different deities. Obviously the author washed them over with his own personal gnosis, especially to give some deities or parts of deity-related lore a relation to sex magick and sexuality, but in the context of this book I don't think that detracts too much from it.
The only parts that put me off were the long-winded tales at the beginning and in the middle of the book, which served me no purpose to learn more about Luciferian tantra and probably wouldn't have been useful if I were interested in the practical part of it either. The lack of references is also a bit off-putting, especially since the author uses a lot of eastern concepts, deities and terminology.
Overall, 3/5. The beautiful illustrations almost weren't enough to get me through some parts of this book, and I had to do extra research to see which parts were the author's own beliefs instead of an actual established part of the practice, since he doesn't make that clear.

Really loved this one! Took a while to get into it but I found myself captivated by the lore and dark erotic fiction peppered throughout; not to mention the intense and empowering ritual work detailed within. While it suffers from the same typographical and formatting issues as his other works, Michael W. Ford is still one of the best occult authors out there and continues to be a massive inspiration to me on my spiritual path. So much inspiration and insight to be found in here.
