Luciferian Sorcery and Set-
Typhon
By Michael W. Ford
First written in 2003 and updated January 2006
Suti (Set) and the Devil-forms of ancient Egypt
“I am the Crocodile-god (Sebak) who dwelleth amid his terrors. I am
the Crocodile-god and I seize (my prey) like a ravening beast”
–
“Transformation into the Crocodile-god” from “The Egyptian Book of
the Dead”
Set is considered in the developing Luciferian Gnosis as the
Adversary, an early form of the Adversary. The crocodile god Sebak in
the Egyptian Book of the Dead draws some aspects similar in nature
to Set, such as the forms he would take. Seemingly, it is considered
by the initiatory focus into the symbol and traits of Set, “Verily the
Greatest of the Gods” embodied many different aspects and forms in
Egyptian mythology. Seker seems to also be a God associated with
the early manifestation of Set, in the Tuat, one of the tunnels which
were under the control of Seker were guarded by a serpent with four
legs, scorpions, vipers and other winged demons.
The Arabic word TAWFAN according to E.A. Wallis Budge may hold a
connection to the name TYPHON, considering the Arabic means
“Storm”. Apep was known universally as the serpent-devil which held
power over storms, darkness and night. Set made his forms in
darkness as well, yet as Sutekh his “Adversarial” nature was that he
existed both in the Tuat or underworld in the seeming form of Apep
(once he mastered this chaotic aspect) and Man-God on earth. At
Kom Ombo as well as other places Set was called Nubti and Sutekh,
although later identified with the god Baal, whom the Hyskos held as
their highest god.
Set is called a mighty warrior who had his kingdom in the North,
specifically in the Northern Sky where he dwelled in a star of the
constellation of Khepesh or the “thigh”. As Typhon has long been
associated with Set the common traits of his nature are clear.
Consider the nature of “Typho” as the greeks called him, his nature
was of the beast and he corrupted the natural order, the course of
nature. Set was of this nature as well, an Anti-Nature in that his
spirit was against the natural laws and went forth upon its own
course. In the Luciferian Path, the common element of practice is to
forge with your own identification of mythology, your own path
against others. That is, by antinomian practice from a spiritual
foundation, the Adept becomes “like” Set or Ahriman, not in any
Western “evil” definition, rather in the spiritual sense.
The names of the Adversary in ancient Egypt (as Set and Apophis)
were many, a few examples are:
Nak, Sabau, Apophis, Suti, Baba, Smy, Hemhemti, Pakerbeth,
Saatet-ta, Qerneru, Tutu, Nesht, Hau-hra, Iubani, Amam,
Sebaent-
Seba, Khak-ab, Khan-ru,Uai
Sau, Beteshu, Kharubu the Four Times Wicked
The Smaiu and Mesu Betshet were the “Children of Rebellion”, those
who were shape shifters and cult members who venerated the
Serpent as their God. As it was written in Genesis the serpent was
“subtle than any beast” and refers to the cunning and mindful
approach it had towards anything done.
The material associated with Set-Typhon is iron, called often “the
bone of Typho”. It was by this strength in which Set held dominion
over all at some point in time, his forms many and his will and
hunger to exist was greater than the efforts of his enemies to
destroy him. Set is called the personification of the dark waters and
the desert, his two-fold essence of being is central to his role as the
tester and sorcerous initiator.
All predators of the spirit who devoured the dead were reposed in
the darkened pits of the Tuat. Aapep, Apep or Apophis was the
Demon Serpent of chaos who devoured many, battled often by Set,
later Apep was conquered and mastered by Set, soon Apep merged
into Set. Just as the most common form of Apep was a crocodile, this
was also a form that Sutekh or Set took as well. Suti (Set) was also
often a God of Death, devouring spirits or befriending them as well.
Predatory Spiritualism had its roots in the world in Ancient Egypt,
from what the Gods practice shall some Adepts practice as well.
In the Tuat, a demon-serpent called “Sati-temui” who was seventy
cubits long and was said to grow strong from devouring the souls of
the dead who were there. There is also a mention of a serpent called
“Akriu” who was also an enemy of RA as well. There was a place of
fire in the Tuat as well, where there was a Lord in the form of a giant
serpent who held the power of the Evil Eye. This serpent would
seduce his prey and then devour their spirits. Know that the forms of
Set are many, the God of Darkness and War is also a creative god of
progression and shape shifting. He survives by transformation.
The path of sorcerous arte known as Luciferian Witchcraft, is perhaps
becoming a clearer subject under the Sethian concept of the
Adversary as a dual and necessary force. Just as Chaos Magick is a
development of primal sorcery, without limitations, the Luciferian
Path is a further and refined development of primal sorcery with a
defined path towards the Sethian becoming, and the ongoing process
of self-transformation.
“Luciferian Witchcraft” presents a gateway to gnosis of what our
culture has called Satan, specifically reaching into the roots of the
adversary to discover the various cultural traits of the Luciferian
spirit. Ahriman is a primary source of this fountain of gnosis,
however Set or Sutekh as the God of Darkness is equally as
fascinating if one may find a semblance of interest there.
Consider the ideals of the Luciferian path. In Luciferian Witchcraft,
by Michael W. Ford, the very foundation of the adversary is
presented as a multicultural force, thus existing within the universe
and not a creation of mankind. While man had created
anthropomorphic attributes, this spirit if you will pre-existed human
consciousness. To practice Luciferian Witchcraft and Sorcery, one
essentially prepares the mind and body to be a vessel for this force,
not joining in union with it, rather encircling the essence of the
Adversary and allowing the self to shape Chaos into self-willed Order
within the self. This, by definition alone is Chaos Magick. What
transfers the title is a result of what transformed the Gnosis itself,
the intent of the work.
Be cautious in the terms of Chaos Magick, you are not simply
paradigm shifting, rather utilizing chaotic forces to utilize temporary
Order in the self to grow stronger and progress as an Adept. Chaos
Magick in the terms of which I refer to are tools of various forms of
ritual belief to construct your own initiatory focus. The foundation is
the consistent aspect of Chaos Sorcery in the Luciferian Path.
The Witches' Sabbat itself is composed of two aspects, the Celestial
or Empyrean (the highest aspect of Light, Luciferian Fire and divinity)
and the Infernal (the lower aspects, the daemonic). What the
Witches' Sabbat is the spiritual transference from the waking flesh
(everyday life) to the astral/dream rite (the gathering of witches and
sorcerer in the arena of the dream). The Sabbat has been explored
since before the middle ages, in the form of the infernal, daemonic
and often demoting in the lens of Christianity. It was Austin Osman
Spare, in his one room apartment in London, awakened to the
gathering of spirits, fornicating and procreating the inherent wish of
each sorcerer. Spare considered the Sabbat most healthy, and noted
an increase in mental and physical health and vigor. Spare around
this time, in the early 1950's, drew numerous illustrations of the
Sabbat in various forms, including many infernal aspects of his early
career. Kenneth Grant later illustrated much of Spare's Luciferian
Gnosis in his legendary work, "Images and Oracles of Austin Osman
Spare".
The Sabbat of the Witches is a dreaming aspect of the imagination,
of strengthening the self into the arcana of the Cunning Fire, or Black
Flame. The Lore of Cain as the Lord of Horsemen is the earthen
bound spirit who kindles the very flame of self, the illumination of
Iblis/Shaitan. He or she is a vessel reflecting its unique touch,
different from all others, as well as each other who make walk a
similar path. It is within the nature of the Ourobouros bound mirror
that we emerge into the dream of spirit flight, when the Sun is the
Black Essence of creation, that all images are cast in the light of
Opposition. Cain is the embodiment of the strength and wisdom of
the Watchers, the very possibility of divine consciousness awakened
in man and woman.
The entry of the Luciferian practice is symbolized in Luciferian
Witchcraft’s "AZOTHOZ". In this work, I used the method of poem
and prose to write a cipher of ensorcelling the self, or spiritual
awareness through a Luciferian and Sethian mirror. In this work, my
position was to clearly draw the connection and becoming process of
self-initiation through the lore of the Watchers, the Nephilim, the
Black Eagle and the essence of the Adversary. The combination of Art
and text invoke the very spirit of Shaitan and Lilith to those who may
embrace it. Azothoz reaches into the current of magick to manifest
itself in the initiate who may be of this essence, born by the spark of
Djinn fire to witch blood. This is a Luciferian process of Self-
Liberation which invites a deeper understanding of Daemon and
Angel, their union outside of a Christian standpoint. It is the
otherness which individuals may seek to inspire, bringing one closer
to the Lord of Storms and Chaos, SET to a spirit of Order in the self.
When writing of angels, a point of the `angelick familiar', “Luciferian
angel” or Holy Guardian Angel may be observed, higher aspects of
our consciousness, while `demonic familiar is the lower, bestial
aspects of our consciousness, atavisms, the shadow itself. Here is
the essence of Ahriman as the bringer of shadow, from which we
encircle both the higher with the lower. References to the infernal
and demonic within Luciferian Witchcraft are aimed as that same
process of self-liberation, initiating change and progress of the self
from a magical perspective.
The Sabbat itself stands between normal dreaming and waking, it is
a mystical process undermined by determination to change and
progress. In a symbolized working, the dreamer experiences the
Sabbat be it in the Celestial (Luciferian gathering, communion with
the Watchers) and Infernal (Daemonic gathering, fornication and
shades of the dead) to usher forth a strong process of self-initiation,
that the imagination is illuminated and able to stand alone. In an
observation process, the imagination is able by means of Will, to
create and sustain its own individual independent being of self.
As a Sethian perspective, the Luciferian Witchcraft is not in my
opinion effective as a RHP tool, but only essentially useful through a
LHP perspective. The Sorcerous Path itself is one of selfdevelopment,
exploring both ones shadow and light aspects, utilizing
them to ones benefit and ultimately focusing these tools as a means
of becoming. As one enters the Luciferian Circle, the self is encircled
in the arcana of I, which Austin Osman Spare defined as the center
of being and the infinite possibility therein. All of the Daemons and
Angels of the self as familiars or guides are all an expression of
owns being. Before one becomes cloudy in the waters of Wicca, the
pure source must be revealed.
To better explain the Luciferian Path in the terms of which is offered
in “Luciferian Witchcraft”, “Liber HVHI” and “”Book of the Witch
Moon”, an assessment of the basic tools, God forms and models of
belief are given here:
Apep
The serpent-demon of chaos and the abyssic waters of the Tuat.
Apep is the early embodiment of the Sumerian Tiamat or the
Sevenheaded
dragon of the apocalypse. In early Persian manifestation,
Ahriman and the ArchDaevas. In Egyptian lore, Apep is by cipher and
study nothing more than Set revealed, his primal draconian aspect of
self. Apep embodies the very essence of Set and may even be
considered associated with his shadow or demonic form. In the Tenth
and Eleventh Sections of the Tuat “Set-heh ” is shown as being to
the left of the Gods in a fiery place, Horus standing in front of
Setheh
in the form of a serpent.
Anubis
The Lord of Jackals and Opener of the Way, Anubis is Hermes, the
Gateway unto Death. Anubis is a tester, one who would way the
heart of he or she that sought to emerge or dive unto the Celestial
or Infernal realms. Anubis is also a Mortuary God, residing over
embalming and funeral preparations. Within Luciferian Sorcery, one
undertakes the mask of Anubis to become like Anubis, some may
seek the shades of the dead or further necromantic experiments
depending on the predilections of the sorcerer.
The Alphabet of Desire
Considered a formulaic point of congress with the `other' or
'otherness', the Alphabet of Desire is an unspeakable grammar which
