Michael W. Ford is relocating from Houston, Texas to Northern Indiana; this includes the Luciferian Apotheca. While this move is still on-going, this is an update on the process and journey. There is also an initiatory focus in this relocation as well. L.Apotheca is open and items available for purchase with no shipping delay from the move are items on the site. The core magical supplies will be available again once our move is complete and a new office is ready.

Michael W. Ford filmed this short occult/horror piece as a magical working united in aesthetics and sound, a deeply constructed invocation of the jinni.

This short work entitled, "By Sight! Whispering in the Ruins" - A Visual Ritual of the Jinn is the version shot and edited by Michael W. Ford with a soundtrack by Akhtya. With the origins of "Whispers of the Jinn" - Arabic Black Magic", a comprehensive Grimoire presenting the history, lore, and key magical practices of different paths of sihr (black magic), this film is a ritualistic invocation that was shot in the Hill Country near Austin, Texas and in Houston in dedication to Azāzīl / Iblis / Shayṭān  and specific jinni associated with the aims of opening gates in the Imaginal and the liminal states of the viewer.

This is meant as a blend of abstract horror with a juxtaposition of images authentically centered in sihr and magical ritual blended in layers via sonic and visual representations and symbolic uses of color. 

 To view this work is to participate by way of symbolic and successive juxtaposition of image and the drones, rhythms and incantations performed by Akhtya (Michael W. Ford). A journey into the wilderness amid haunted ruins and deserted structures, entering into a path between the physical and spiritual and the calling of the jinn king, Azāzīl, also known as Iblis and other kindred spirits of fire. 

This is the "Whispering in the Ruins" version, a different edit than "By Sight - ash-Shaytaan" which features a more horror-inspired subtle series of imagery, images and the ritual incantation that aligns the jinni with the door that can be opened in the mind of the viewer, who is a participant by the observation of sight and sound. 

Visual horror and ritual magick. An experimental visual working of Sihr, a black magical ritual by sight and sound. this blends horror with authentic magical recitation and the juxtaposition of images.

To watch this is to open subtle Gateways.

From ancient to modern traditions, Hecate is considered a guide through the arts of magick and a revealer of liminal spaces. Hecate holds keys and torches, symbolizing her power as a goddess of hidden knowledge; the torch recalls her epithet, Phosphorus, much like the name of the Morning Star; the blazing light of strength of mind and self-awareness. Hecate also holds snakes and a dagger; the snake is symbolic of the Underworld, chthonic (earthly) fertility and renewal; the dagger is her mastery over cruel instincts and her power of life and death. Hecate was the companion for Demeter in her search for Persephone, guiding her through the night with blazing torches. After, Hekate became Persephone's minister and companion in Haides. In Luciferian Witchcraft and aligned currents, Hecate is a balanced goddess of the Crossroads - the liminal gateway in which the will of the sorcerer and witch may be the vessel of streams of her energy and guidance. Hecate (Hekate) has a rich history not only in ancient Greek / Hellenistic religion and magic, also within modern practices of witchcraft, paganism, and Luciferian traditions. In this video, Hecate is explained in how magical workings may be utilized to invoke and concentrate specific types of energy related to different epithets or names associated with aspects of Hekate. Hecate's epithets represent a vast spectrum of distinct energies, and for many practitioners, knowing where to begin — or which name to invoke — can feel daunting. Start with a foundational study of the epithets' meanings, their energies, and associated attributes, allowing yourself to be drawn toward the Deific Mask that most deeply inspires you. Open yourself to augurs: the language of dreams, omens, and inner inspiration. Devotional alignment with a specific manifestation of Hecate's patronage — achieved through Gnosis, deep identification with the Deific Mask, and full immersion in the energy and ecstasy of the Goddess — is essential to effective and powerful Magick. A central key to ceremonial invocation of Hecate, as with any Deific Mask, lies in understanding how epithets function as Names of Power. On a subconscious level, the mind recognizes and activates these names, forging a pathway through which that particular spiritual energy can be actualized in alignment with the totality of the Black Adept. It is the complete unity and intensity of Will, Desire, and Belief that shapes this process — carving a magickal path through which the Magickian and the Deific Mask become one.
