About the author
Michael W Ford is an American author associated with modern Luciferian and Left-Hand Path occultism, and the founder of the magical order known as the Order of Phosphorus. His books set out a self-initiatory framework for what he calls Luciferian philosophy, combining ritual magick with ideas drawn from chaos magic, Draconian and Qliphothic traditions, and ancient Near Eastern mythology. The Bible of the Adversary, first published in 2007 and reissued in a tenth-anniversary edition, is his best-known foundational text, while Apotheosis sets out an eleven-point framework for Luciferian practice aimed at newer readers. Book of the Witch Moon explores what he terms the dark feminine current through ritual and dream work, and Dragon of the Two Flames connects Canaanite deities to a Luciferian reading of Christian origins. His work is written for practitioners already oriented toward Left-Hand Path and Luciferian traditions.
