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".
