This video is an overview of the general history of the Left-Hand Path including the ideals and philosophical foundation associated with both Luciferianism and Satanism. A special thank you to Vince who posted the suggestion of a video " talking about the left hand path in more detail"; of which, this discussion is the foundation.

There are three general considerations discussed in this video:

1. Exploring Luciferian Ideals and Personal Growth
2.  Understanding the Left Hand Path
3. Key Works and Practices of the Left Hand Path (including some basic authors and published works that are not Luciferian but are excellent sources of study and comparison) The Shakti / Kundalini (the daemonic feminine as motivator / inspirational balance, represented commonly in Luciferianism as LILITH) with SAMAEL as the daemonic masculine force of self-determined force of compelling change in accordance with the will (i.e. Magick).

The Balance between the primal forces of instinctual, emotional desire, intuition (in the abstract as emotional feeling and passion) and a muse for the Luciferian. LILITH is also Vampiric and the dark succubus that preys upon and inspires primal darkness to take form in the individual. The Luciferian develops self-discipline and the mental strength of Will to control and direct this dark energy (as the gift of Lilith if you wish) towards beneficial motivational thoughts, words, and actions in life.

The commonly recognized Shakti as the divine feminine is the creative, healing, and nurturing Mothering aspect that cultivates empathy, sustaining life, and protecting qualities that are essential for life. This is balanced with the demonic masculine Samael force of mental discipline, will, Martial (Mars) force as required and understood simply as "Will to Power".

The Satanic aspect balances the Daemonic Feminine and Masculine to be aware of the short existence of physical life and to apply meaningful thought prior to communicating and taking action in life. Carnal existence includes the individual self-awareness of the importance of indulgence and pleasure; yet a LHP initiate must balance this with the rational discipline of the way 'cause and effect' works: do not seek self-destruction and the diminishment of the core moral values that shape your Psyche.

Question all beliefs if they cause needless dogmatic restriction, test your strengths and focus on the four foundations: BALANCE, POWER, WISDOM, and STRENGTH (see "Apotheosis" by Michael W. Ford). Self-accountability is the cornerstone of the Left-Hand Path initiate. Spiritual rebellion is not breaking laws or negative acts; one must strive to exist in society in the best way one can. Luciferians exist in many walks of life and have many diverse views of what 'success' actually is.

Shakti as Lilith is represented as demonically liberating, spiritually rebellious (to question dogmatic laws in addition to restrictive belief) and like all Adversarial (Luciferian) concepts contains both Divine and Demonic aspects. Just as SAMAEL is the Satanic / Luciferian liberator and self-illuminating rebel and (Gnostic) Archon: The Devil (the tempting and cunning Spirit who operates in the Laws of Nature and concepts such as Cause and Effect) and the Angel/Deity of self-illuminating Light (of the Morning and Evening Star).

The Left-Hand Path and Luciferian teachings are based in rational, disciplined methods of preparation and initiation in foundation: this is the essential start of the practice of Magick. The Black Arts of Ritual, Spells, Sorcery, Witchcraft, and ceremonial invocations are methods as the extension of the Will of the Luciferian; essentially tools and keys towards the demonic and divine.

First to descend, embrace, and with force of will, master those elements of Hell within. Secondly to use discipline and the balance of the self-illuminating flame of the Psyche to direct the dark energies to fuel the divine Will of your own design. Luciferianism has ciphers, symbols, and confrontational imagery to test, tempt, and challenge the initiate; the aim is to set in the widdershins motion of the Triad of the Morning Star: Liberation, Illumination, and Apotheosis. 

Unlock the secrets of the occult as Michael W. Ford delves into the dark mysteries of Kabbalah, the Qlippoth, and Luciferian Magick. In this in-depth exploration, Ford examines the origins and symbolism of the Sefirot and their shadow counterparts, the Qlippoth-known as the “Shells” or “Husks” and the “Left Emanation” from Zoharic literature, representing the demonic realms of Sitra Achra, the “Other Side.”

Discover how Luciferian philosophy rejects the traditional Tree of Life, embracing instead the path of balance through the Sitra Achra, where dark energies are harnessed for self-transformation, liberation, and apotheosis. Learn how ancient mythologies, Zoharic lore, and the symbolism of the Great Dragon and the Ouroboros inform the Luciferian approach to magick. Ford discusses the importance of integrating both light and shadow, transcending concepts of good and evil, and using the power of the Qlippoth as fuel for authentic initiatory change. 

This video is essential viewing for those interested in the esoteric traditions of Kabbalah, the transformative power of the Adversary, and the path of the Black Magickian seeking balance, self-mastery, and the illumination of the Black Flame. Michael W. Ford’s video explains the connection between Luciferian Magick and the Qlippoth by presenting the Qlippoth as essential to the Luciferian path of self-transformation and empowerment. 

In Ford’s system, the Qlippoth-understood as the “shells” or shadow side of the Kabbalistic Tree of Life-represent the hidden, often feared aspects of existence and consciousness that must be confronted, integrated, and mastered rather than avoided. Luciferian Magick, as Ford describes, is fundamentally adversarial: it seeks to challenge established norms, embrace darkness as a source of wisdom, and use the forces symbolized by the Qlippoth for personal ascent and apotheosis.

Through ritual and meditative work, practitioners engage with the 22 spheres of the Infernal Qlippoth, “filling and draining those shells,” which is a metaphor for harnessing and transforming chaotic or destructive energies into sources of power and insight. Ford’s approach is not about worshipping evil, but about achieving balance between light and shadow, flesh and spirit, and using the “adversarial” energies of the Qlippoth to fuel authentic self-creation and mastery.

The rites and practices described-such as those in his grimoire Liber HVHI-offer practical methods for working with these shadow forces, making the Qlippoth a central pillar in the Luciferian magickal process.

Ishtar, also known as Inanna, was a major Mesopotamian goddess revered for both love and war. She embodied dualities—beauty and desire, violence and mastery—and was worshipped across Sumer, Akkad, Babylon, and Assyria. Associated with the planet Venus and known as the “Queen of Heaven,” Ishtar’s myths include her dramatic descent into the underworld and return, symbolizing cycles of death and rebirth. Her legacy as a powerful, complex, and transformative deity influenced later goddesses and continues to inspire today

This video explores the following mysteries concerning Solomonic talismans, invoking spirits and attaining success with the practice of magick. The purpose and theory behind the use of Sigils and Talismans, along with potential connections with spirits and demons, have been used in almost every culture since history has been written. This work explores the spirits found in my book, "The Demons of Solomon" and how such powers may be summoned to compel (and direct) energy according to your will. The key of the use of Sigils-into-Talismans in Luciferian Magick is different in that the sorcerer does not in any way, subject oneself to any perceived spirit "domination"; if you submit to any exterior (real or not) power, you have failed the initiatory test. In the ritual chamber, the magician should suspend disbelief and throw oneself into the invocation/chant while focusing on the sigil/talisman that you have prepared. If you are summoning a demon or spirit to connect with the talisman, for fulfilling a simple goal or requirement, the spirit should be respected and firmly directed via the ritual. The unity of Will, Desire, and Belief is outlined in "DEMONS OF SOLOMON", "WHISPERS OF THE JINN", "FALLEN ANGELS" and other works by Michael W. Ford. The momentary unity of Will, Desire, and Belief activates and directs the energy towards your design. The methods are outlined in the aforementioned books, including also "GOETIA OF SHADOWS".

This video is a deeper dive into the topic of angels, demons, and mythology as discussed in the earlier video, "Wheels of Eyes & Wings of Flame Seraphim Cherubim and Fallen Angels Explained" Biblical angelology is deeply intwined with demonology, especially with regard to symbolism.

This video is a Luciferian interpretation of this lore. This is a deeper discussion on Biblical angels and demonology that developed from ancient traditions including Assyrian, Babylonian, Canaanite, and even Egyptian lore. To understand the demonology of the bible, with respect to the Adversary, it is mytho-poetical symbolism that brings indications of the spiritual nature that connects both concepts of angels and demons in Old and New Testament lore. This symbolism relates an understanding of the concept of energy and inner-guidance for those upon the Luciferian and Left-Hand Path.

New video in which Michael W. Ford focuses on a key significant foundation of the Luciferian Grimoire, "Whispers of the Jinn - Arabic Black Magic" with the guidance of Iblis, the Black Flame, Sihr, and the intermediate realm of the Imaginal that is between the spiritual and material realms. The guides of Smokeless Fire, the inspiring whispers and the Gift of Azāzīl (Iblis), the Black Flame, are discussed from a Luciferian Philosophical perspective.

This video provides a detailed exploration of the relationship between the jinn and the imaginal realm within the framework of Luciferian philosophy. The imaginal realm acts as a crucial bridge between the celestial world of pure spirit and the terrestrial realm of material reality. Jinn, as spirits of smokeless fire, are intrinsically tied to this realm, inhabiting and shaping its landscapes while influencing the human mind through its subtle energies.

The Black Flame, gifted to humanity by Azazel (Iblīs), allows humans to tap into the imaginal realm and harness its power. This flame represents self-awareness and the potential for liberation, enabling individuals to connect with their inner Daemon (Qarīn) and interact with the jinn. It is through the imaginal realm that the Luciferian sorcerer can perform Sihr, influencing the material world through the manipulation of subtle energies.

The imaginal realm serves as a conduit for the jinn to inspire and guide individuals towards self-discovery and the attainment of their True Will. This can manifest through dreams, visions, and intuitive insights, allowing the jinn to communicate their wisdom and knowledge.
