REVIEW FOR "Magick of the Ancient Gods"

MAGICK OF THE ANCIENT GODS
CHTHONIC PAGANISM & THE LEFT HAND PATH
Soft cover 252 pages (also available in hardback)
By Michael W. Ford

If you are familiar with Michael W. Ford's writtings you will find this latest piece to be more of a light read in comparission to his other teachings within the Luciferian realms but this doesn't mean that you will not find something of gain within these pages. As usual Ford does not disappoint his readers and MAGICK OF THE ANCIENT GODS is a grimoire in which both the beginner as well as the learned adept can enjoy.
This grimoire is meant to invoke inspiration,enchant it's readers and will open minds into viewing for the first time the "darker" or Left Hand Path perspective of the ancient gods/goddesses of Greece,Rome, and Eastern religions also the spiritual role of the Olympian and Chthonic Gods,making the connection of the Adversary within all and removing the Judeo-Christian associations which have been blasphemousticly bestowed upon these ancient dieties.

Personally aside from a select few,I have never felt a connection with ancient Greek/Roman dieties until after reading MAGICK OF THE ANCIENT GODS,now if I so choose I can find ways to incorporate these energies into my Luciferian/Satanic workings and meditations. The invocations and suggested rites of offerings presented here are of authenticity and I definately will find use for most of these inorder to bring my path to higher levels of understanding. I also do think that most others whom follow or whom are attracked towards darker paths will benefit from what MAGICK OF THE ANCIENT GODS has to offer.

MAGICK OF THE ANCIENT GODS is a mini tomb of knowledge created to be easily understood and read yet is still overloaded with history,myth and magickal knowledge that anyone from any path light or dark can enjoy.Presenting magickal rites and workings that could be adapted by a beginner yet still leaving room to be elaborated on for the advanced magician/witch.
I highly recommend this reading for anyone on a Neo-Pagan path,LHP or for those who are just curious and wish to expand their knowledge without getting in to deep.
This book can be enjoyed by not only Luciferians and Satanists(whom will find this work as an enhancement to their paths)but also for Wiccans,Dark Pagans,Goddess Path Spiritualists,the vampyric paths and anyone who wishes to learn the actual truth and acknowledge the darker side of life,myth and magick.

Some of what you will find within MAGICK OF THE ANCIENT GODS:
-Ancient Hyms
-spells
-invocations
-rituals +offerings and the basics of
-Left Hand Path Paganism
-.moon phases and witchcraft(presents examples of workings)
-Notes on magick and practice+dream rising
-and some useful rites such as "The Rite Of Opening" "Circle Casting" and " Illuminating The Water".

Each chapter is to the point and all non-sense is left out!
Michael W. Ford has done extreme researche,study and time inorder to present this work properly and in this simple yet potent manner.
I highly recomment this book and give it my rating of 4/5
