Satan and Suns

What's the consensus on Michael W. Ford? Are his books worth reading?

I just watched a YouTube video of him titled Incantation of Resheph and Satanic Ritual.

Anyone know of any other good videos of real Satanic rituals? it seems that many of the ones on YouTube are from a Christian perspective and intended to scare people away from Satanism.

You might not find any due to Christianity, but you might try emailing the A ladies on this but you can also try reading more on the forum about how others are performing rituals since you are trying to learn on this practice and read how others are doing on spell castings like the mammon monthly casting:)

I have a few of Ford's books and didn't really find much value in them for my needs, but I would try reading one that interests you and judge for yourself because a lot of people seem to like him. He leans heavily toward the LHP side of Zoroastrianism.

I like his stuff. I have "Bible of the Adversary" and "Luciferian Witchcraft". He covers many different systems from Ancient Persia to the Luciferian Goetia.

I've heard a mixed review. I guess it depends on which path you follow. Old school Satanists aren't fond of him. The Newer gen seem to like him.
S. Connollys books tend to have many rituals in them, they might be worth a look for you

Thanks. I've started reading S. Connolly's books based on a recommendation by Akelta. So far so good.

You won't be disappointed . Her books really are very good, any you pick up. If you want heavy rituals her Keys of Ocat, Infernal Colopatiron (demonic theophany and gate opening) , and there's another coming our in a month or so... Darn I forgot what its called.. ill try to find out for you.. good stuff.

I do have to give Michael Ford a thumbs up for his tracing demons through history and calling thier various forms deific masks. The same entity will have many forms across time in many coultuers. Though I don't care much for his way of practice. Though I have my own path and it is just a difference of opinion in the end.

As for Connely, I give her a thumbs up as well, she has pushed the respectful workings with demons her whole career. I don't agree with her views on evocation though. Evocation can be used as a means to get to know an entity if used with respect; just as I also disagree with Koetting for preaching using demons as a continual means of physical gain. Connely works through invocation, which in the end is the goal just not in the intermingling of energies and communication, but invocation in its extreme forms is where the spirit temporarily inhabits your body and that is when the full bonding and learning takes place; much like Voudon practionioners and the Lwa. Evocation helps greatly for building up to this level of connection. And on this point I will have to disagree with Connely, otherwise her work is solid.

Thanks for the insight. I appreciate it.
