An Invocation to Azal’ucel
The Angelick Luciferian Initiator
By Michael W. Ford

I am the Daimon who speaks the words of the Immortal Fire, the Holy Flame which emerges from the Lightning Flash and Storm of Chaos bred, so this the angel-serpent shall come forth with the Birthing Knife shedding into storm of Seth!

Spirit of which the Fallen have taken Strength, Isolate and Beautiful,

Angelic Essence, Azal’ucel, from which came into being Cain

I do invoke thee!

South-

Devil-Djinn of the Burning Desert sands and the Sun, Sortha’n-din – thy stave and fork unto the flame that is my soul shall be illuminated in this blackened light. Shaitan the Adversary, my soul enflamed! Arogogoruabrao – THIAF!

East-

Lucifer revealed as Azazel, bringer of illumination and love, who resides in shadow and light, cover and cloak my spirit with thy twelve wings, serpent skin covered from the shedding of the Dragon, bring now forth the serpent essence of my soul! Melek Tau’us, beautiful spirit of Fire, I summon thee forth! PHOTETH

North-

Set-heh, isolator and strengthening force of Storms, that chaos which I have tempered in thy elegance of darkness. I go forth and become as the Eye of Algol, separate and alone in my being. Typhon, present unto me the Tcham knive from which I shall stand forth in my dreaming and waking! Sender of Nightmares ascend through me! OOO

West-

Let now the Serpent encircle me, Leviathan the Coiling Dragon of timeless being. I summon your essence unto me! Great chthonic daemon of endless being, I seek to drink deep of your cup and behold the mysteries of the depths! MRIODOM

Aoth, Sabaoth, Atheleberseth, Abraoth!

By the very circle of which I build – I walk unto the crown of Lucifer – that Emerald which shine the essence of Heaven and Hell. That Angelickan Watcher of the Sun shall come now forth to join with the Ahrimanic Shadow, that Angel and Daemon are Joined!

I walk unto the Umbrarum Rex, the Kingdom of Shades and the Ghost Roads – Open the Gates unto me!

Guardian of Flaming Sword and Corpse-King of the Scepter – Open forth the Anubian Way to me! I behold the center of the Eight – Rayed Black Sun – My essence unto Seth!

Azal’ucel! I invoke the Bornless Baphometic Spirit of Fire!


Commentary to the Rite of Azal’ucel

The Ritual of ‘An Invocation to Azal’ucel, the Angelick Luciferian Initiator’, the system employed is one of summoning up the angelic and daemonic spirit within the self – the “True Will” by means of a mask of Luciferian Witchcraft. The very methods themselves are contained in the calling of the four directions – each a component of higher illumination of self; which is combined with the Bestial/Demonic with the Angelic. This is the center of balance which was often deemed necessary in the Workings of Abramelin Magick; which issues control over daemonic forces within and beyond the self. Azal'Ucel is a sigillic word formula of Azazel and Lucifer to combine the ancient middle eastern with the western idea of what the bringer of light may or may not be.

Aleister Crowley’s excellent and useful Liber Samekh explores this system entirely, however in a modern context is rather long. It may be suggested that this particular role of Magickal Invocation should still be employed; this version of the summoning of the HGA is simplified to a short, concise and effective version which may be memorized easily. In the Luciferian work, the practitioner is focusing on widdershins around the Triple Hermetic Circle, or one of his or her own design, from which the quarters may be called. The Grand Sabbatic Circle may be employed also to effective and concise approach to this Magick of self-initiation and transformation. In regard to Egyptian and medival daemonic summons, a connection therein may be observed.

The Circle Casting is one of which the individual proclaims his and her mastery over their own being, that by moving widdershins around the circle will enflame the self during invocation; that is to envision each manifestation via minds’ eye with each call. For instance, when one calls South, they would envision the Fire Djinn, in the North, Seth. This is the key to the success of magical work; the Imagination.

South – the Devil-Djinn mentioned is Shaitan or Azazel, the fallen seraph whom is made entirely of flame. It is this original legend which brought forth the separation of the God-divinity or natural order to an adversarial or antinomian process of anti-order. The mentioning of “Blackened Light” is the Light of Azazel, or Shaitan embodied on earth through Cain, the initiator of the Sethanic Path of Witchcraft.

East – Lucifer as Azazel in the earthbound form, the mentioning of twelve wings in reference to the Serpent Angel. Lucifer is the Freedom of Will from which the individual may seek to strengthen and illuminate the self in ones own discovered light, or Black Flame.

North – The Cold North is the direction of not only Cain as the Lord of Horsemen, but also of Set-heh the Adversary. Set is the Egyptian God of Chaos, Storms and Darkness. The isolator, Set is the adversarial god of change, strength and sufficiency through the Will. Within various witchcraft circles Cain is considered the offspring of Samael and Lilith, thus being the SAME as Baphomet. The Angelic/Demon Higher Spirit of Cain is Azal’ucel, which is reflected in this very rite of self-empowerment. It is through Set that all upon the Luciferian Path pass through, in the skin of Cain or otherwise.

West – A calling to Leviathan, the Dragon essence which is immortal, or eternal. The encircling of Leviathan is a Will directed focus of the individuals being or “I” announcing the forced antinomian separation from the natural order, and through Leviathan grows strong in this circle of timeless being. The mysteries of the depths is revealed as knowledge and wisdom of the subconscious. By tapping into the subconscious, one is able to master their own individual life therein.

The reference to the Angelickan Watcher of the Sun and the Ahrimanic Shadow is based in the Vessels or Fetishes of the Bestial and Angelick Atavisms and familiars. By exteriorizing ones Adversarial aspects of “I” and “Being” one may objectively view the essence of self, manifest its strengths again in the union of flesh and mind.

The Guardian of Flaming Sword and Corpse-King of the Scepter is in reference to the illustration by Elda Isela Ford, based on passing through the ‘As Above, So Below’ forces of the Sethanic Path unto the Luciferian Star sometimes called ALGOL.
