APOTHEOSIS:

The Ultimate Beginner's Guide

to Luciferianism & the Left-Hand Path

Michael W. Ford    May 7

What is Luciferian philosophy? How do you apply it? How do you self-initiate into Luciferianism? Over the years, I have concentrated beyond research and devoted myself to consistent practice of multiple traditions within Luciferianism, and my magickal obsession has been to crystallize, refine, and enhance the basis of this philosophy. What makes Luciferianism harmonious with, and parallel to, other Left-Hand Path schools of thought and traditions? What separate Luciferianism from other Left-Hand Path schools of thought and works?

Apotheosis takes an older work that had become outdated, entitled Wisdom of the Eosphoros, and renovates the entire foundation into a wholly new Luciferian philosophy. In particular, it elucidates the 11 Points of Power with in-depth explanation, examples of how to apply these 11 Points of Power, with deeper meanings behind them for the neophyte—the new seeker who is drawn to Luciferianism. It elaborates the definitions of Left-Hand Path and Right-Hand Path, and clarifies what makes an individual “Left-Hand Path.”

To me, the focus of the Left-Hand Path is individualism; this means carefully enhancing and refining yourself magickally. Furthermore, it focuses on attaining specific types of liberation through ambitious change and forbidden knowledge that’s useful to self-empowerment. Lucifer magickally empowers your life to change into what you want, no matter what it is, no matter how you calculate what success is.

This one book compresses my entire Luciferian school of thought found across my 25+ books over my three decades as an author. But it celebrates and honors more than only my school of thought, and instead it features the best breakthroughs, insights, and discoveries of many respectable Left-Hand Path tradition—in other words, it is not sectarian, but rather universal and inclusive. As you’ll see in Apotheosis, Luciferianism is not a religion with a fixed central dogma, but an evolving philosophy with a healthy worldwide community of magicians, authors, artists, and commentators.

You may apply the Luciferian Ethos and theories presented to ceremonial magick traditions too. How does that work? My wife and fellow priestess, Hopemarie Ford, have formulated a Luciferian school of thought that allows you to adapt and adopt it to your preferred magickal tradition—you can perform Luciferian Magick through basically any pathworking.

What are the traits of the Luciferian? What are the commonly refined and enhanced points that really identify whether a person is of the Satanic or the Luciferian mindset? These questions constitute a core part of this book.

I have found over the years that Luciferians are the type of people who have a natural predilection for personal Ascent and the path of Adversarial power. You can’t take someone who is a dogmatic monotheist and make them view the world from a Luciferian perspective. However, there can be people in Right-Hand Path religions or paths, who, for lack of understanding or knowing, have many Luciferian traits and what we call the 11 Points of Power, but never knew it.

Luciferianism, as you’ll see in Apotheosis, is not dogmatic. There’s no hierarchical structure or laws that limit your use of magick, language, clothes, style, etc. It’s a very open, free-spirited way of life.

Apotheosis: The Ultimate Beginner's Guide to Luciferianism & the Left-Hand Path reveals parallels between disparate paths through helpful introductions to, say, Satanism from Anton Lavey's The Satanic Bible, to other avenues like the Temple of Set and Setian magick, to greater black magick and lesser black magick. It shows how these seemingly separate traditions reflect one another and remain in harmony with Luciferianism. Apotheosis divulges how many black magick tradition closely associate and elucidates how Luciferianism as a philosophy or praxis underlies the landscape of pathworkings — from Thelema and Chaos Magick, to Satanism and Setian Initiation of Kefer, to numerous others avenues like Neo-pagan Witchcraft and other esoteric black magicks.

The Luciferian is uniquely able to apply this philosophy and validate it. Without validating it, this work means nothing, and if you just take a work, read over it, skim it, say "Cool," throw it on your shelf, go on to something else, well, you're doing great injustice. Take the work and apply it and validate it for a period of time, and notice the enhancement, the illumination of that spark of divine consciousness, that higher aspect of being we call the Black Flame. Remember that your mind, your spirit uses this body as a tool to experience the world, so think of it in that way. It's an investment.

Apotheosis: The Ultimate Beginner's Guide to Luciferianism & the Left-Hand Path becomes available with Become A Living God May 7. I have partnered with E.A. Koetting, Timothy, Asenath Mason, Edgar Kerval, and more in the spirit of a highly open, non-dogmatic cooperation. They respect my individuality and support my freedom to espouse a unique Luciferian school of thought, regardless of whether it fully agrees with theirs.

As long as magicians allow one another to perform magick according to their will, validate their uniqueness, and support a mutual ambition of Apotheosis or Godhood, then this can become a great force. Become A Living God will release this high-powered book in a limited edition leather & cloth hardback version.

This book becomes live May 7, so please watch for it, and I look forward to sharing new videos to ignite your Apotheosis. You may download a FREE chapter with this link below. Thank you.

Liberation. Apotheosis. Illumination.
