"The light of Lucifer is the highest aspirations of mankind. It is the driving force that motivates us to greatness. It is what built the pyramids in Egypt the hanging gardens of Babylon and what drove the Mayans to build massive stone structures that even today we would have a hard time creating. It is the power behind Mozart’s masterpieces and Einstein’s equations. The black flame that moves armies across the battlefield topples towers of tyranny and frees the human race from bondage.

The Will of the Luciferian burns before him and all in the way fall either seared or inflamed with awe. It is the understanding that the power at his fingertips is proven by not doing, by allowing your mind moments of thought and calculation. Self-control is one of the greatest traits one may build up. Anyone can commit acts of depravity- that never makes you special. What makes you unique is by allowing the Light of Lucifer to thrust you into a higher level of consciousness. With experience the knowledge gained allows for the wisdom to expand in power, illuminating your being so that all those who come in contact with you immediately evolve in some small way themselves. This is what in “Maskim Hul – Babylonian Magick” is called “Melammu”.  It is the awakening to the knowledge that you can form and create your world regardless of what other dogmas or doctrines tell insists that you cannot do.

The Luciferian represents the true elevated spirit of mankind, above good and evil, above mans fears, above everything aside from the human condition. We strive to improve mankind and bring forth the highest level of arts, mathematics, sciences, rhetoric, astronomy, geometry and metaphysical achievement. We do this with entering the depths of darkness within, discovering the balance of the primal powers within the subconscious and uniting them with our conscious mind to create balance. The Luciferian exists outside of the Judeo-Christian good vs. evil framework, thrust on all cultures since it first dominated the roman empire. Now is the possibility for the individual to start thinking clearly, to realize every day your life passes by with your mind controlled by the dualistic and good vs. evil dogma which breeds crime and sickness. Luciferians are those who have the individual drive to achieve their goals and to reach their dreams in life." -Lathotyp, J.J. Barker, Author of BOOK 75 and Michael W. Ford, Founder, TOPH.

Luciferianism is a philosophy centered on individuality and self-enlightenment. Often Luciferianism is misrepresented as being associated with devil-worship which could not be further from the truth. Lucifer is a symbol of enlightenment to Luciferians and not a literal being. While some believe in the existence of a literal "Adversary", a cosmic motivator who inspires evolution and chaotic growth, many Luciferians view the Adversary as a symbol or subconscious force of self-enlightenment and motivation, not a devil who wishes to damn humanity.

The Bible of the Adversary outlines various traditions of the Adversary throughout religion, mythology and magical initiatory systems which bring together the common elements of imagination (called in specific Islamic traditions as the essence of Iblis) and self-empowerment.

To understand Luciferianism as Michael W. Ford has defined it, one must look to early Enoch texts concerning the Watchers and Grigori. Until they "illuminated" humanity by teaching them the arts of magick and knowing the self, humans were thoughtless or selfless sheep. While the Judeo-Christian god calls this Serpent the "devil", the Adversarial spirit brought humanity the "Black Flame" or gift of individual consciousness.

The Luciferian embraces the Adversarial current in many forms, from a spiritual sense to those who have validated a "otherness" or "spirit world" as well as a physical sense, to those who cannot validate a "spirit world" and believe they exist in this world here and now with no thought towards an afterlife. Michael W. Ford understands that these two types of perceptions may be realized in a type of "Adversarial Chaos" which dictates no matter how you view the world or yourself, the mind and body must be shaped in this world as vessels of the Adversary, thus becoming living Gods accountable for their own destiny.

The Order of Phosphorus is an initiatory guild dedicated to empowerment of the individual through willed activation of the Luciferian Path. Accomplishment on the Luciferian Path creates an opportunity for Prospective initiates to join the Black Order of the Dragon, a companion initiatory organization propagating Adversarial Magick and Vampyrism. There are numerous sub-orders within TOPH including "The Order of Set-Aapep", exploring Adversarial Egyptian and Luciferian Magick, "Ordo Azariel", a Vampyric-Qlippothic guild, "Ordo Algol", a Satanic-Chaos inspired magickal order and many others.

TOPH is also an initiatory order for women equally as well. At the close of 2008 TOPH announced the creation of THE DAUGHTERS OF LILITH, an intiatory system parallel to the traditional grades of TOPH however specifically focused on the Feminine Adversarial Current. This is perhaps one of the first initiatory orders focused on illuminating the Lilithian - Hekate current as well as the traditional Masculine.

TOPH or The Order of Phosphorus places a focus on self-directed initiation. Grade 0 NAHEMOTH (The Black Earth) is the probationary period in which the initiate discovers the discipline needed to develop his or her self via Magick and Luciferian Witchcraft. TOPH is an order for the Religion of Luciferian Witchcraft, a faith discovered by the Adversarial Essence within. The Order of Phosphorus is a Luciferian Guild focused on the following concepts:

• Magick and self-transformation via the Adversarial Current.
• The Adversary as a psychological and spiritual force within, the path of the spiritual rebel.
• Sorcery and Black Witchcraft from a Luciferian perspective.
• A Path of Ascension in the Light of Samael and Lilith – Lucifer.

The Luciferian Path is one based on the Adversarial Doctrine of Samael and Lilith, the force relating to self-creation and the illumination of the Black Flame within. TOPH initiates are encouraged to find their own unique path based on Luciferian ideological concepts as transformation via Dark Magick, Sorcery such as the Yatuk Dinoih or the Luciferian Goetia and more.

The Order of Phosphorus is not a church: it is an Initiatic Order that includes diabolic atheists, theistic and pantheistic Satanists (and beyond). We do not regulate morality or metaphysics but instead focus on the acquiescence and wielding of power. How this differs from other organizations? This is your personal charge to investigate and research.

The Order has no restrictions on simultaneous membership with other organizations. Other organizations may prohibit your joining TOPH. Join where you will.The leadership and several initiates of the Ordo Luciferis [Luciferian Order of the Morning Star] dissolved/merged/joined into TOPH some years ago. It was less of an "official" action and more of a personal migration for the individuals now in TOPH.
