O.O

I actually know someone who named her daughters Lilith and Lorelei

Yeahh, it definitely does happen. I guess there's technically nothing Wrong with naming a kid Lilith it just... feels kinda weird to me personally? But like obviously I can't blame the child for anything and most parents probably wouldn't name their kid that if they were more educated about her.

When Adam bit the apple he did it because he trusted Eve. Because he loved her. Adam bit into the apple because the woman he loved told him to, no matter what God said. No matter the rules of heaven. What’s heaven to a woman’s love anyway? What’s God to your wife? The first sins of humanity, were trusting others. Eve trusted a snake, Adam trusted Eve, and I trust you. Maybe that’s a sin, just like the first couple. Maybe everyone’s right about us and we’re sinners and we offend God. But like I said, what’s God to a woman’s love anyway? What has heaven got that I can’t find sitting next to you on a cool autumn morning?

(TW: Suicide, death)

If you feel like you need to end your life to get closer to Satan (or any deity you work with), that's not devotion, it's mental illness and you should seek professional help. I don't say that lightly. I admire your enthusiasm towards deity worship, I really do, but this certainly isn't the way to do it; you're channeling your energy in the wrong direction.

Believe me, Satan will never tell or expect someone to end their life to be with Him. There's other ways to show your loyalty.

“Wearing nothing but snakeskin boots, I blazed a footpath, the first radical road out of that old kingdom toward a new unknown. When I came to those great flaming gates of burning gold, I stood alone in terror at the threshold between Paradise and Earth. There I heard a mysterious echo: my own voice singing to me from across the forbidden side. I shook awake— at once alive in a blaze of green fire. Let it be known: I did not fall from grace. I leapt to freedom.”

So JoyOfSatan is hiding business cards in occult books now.

Dont fall for their shit. If you get any of these cards, throw them away, destroy them.

JoyOfSatan is a neonazi cult using Satanism as an excuse for their bullshit. They primarily try to indoctrinate young/new satanists. Don't fall for their lies.

Luciferian Challenge: Bonus 2

I combined a few prompts the other day, so this is another bonus prompt entry.

Are there other religions/philosophies that inspire you or influence your path as a Luciferian? Or do you work with other Gods or Spirits?

So obviously Christianity does influence and inspire my Luciferianism. I touched on it a bit in this post, but essentially as someone with a Lutheran upbringing in a culturally Christian country who takes a good chunk of inspiration from Christian folklore… it would be foolish and disingenuous to pretend that I could divorce my Luciferianism from Christianity entirely, and I make no attempts at doing so. While I do not consider myself a Christian, nor my religion to be a branch of it, I do undeniably exist at the fringes of it. 

The spirits that come with that are Eve of course, who I’ve mentioned, and St Expedite, who (at time of writing this) still hasn’t shown any disinterest in continuing our relationship. Though I have a fascination with St Sebastian, I never attempted to reach out to him, and I suspect I never will. St Cyprian of Antioch, however, is someone I’ve considered given his association with magic and necromancy, his time as a pagan, and the nature of his conversion to Christianity. All together I don’t think he’d take issue with me, though I’ve yet to check if the interest is mutual and worth pursuing. At least, not at this time. 

My animism also influences my approach to things, but that’s less a formal religion and more an aspect of one, as it’s a world view that exists in many religions throughout the world. I hope to build up a small gathering of plant allies and teachers when I can, though for a number of reasons this is a bit slow going in my current living situation. Perhaps next year will be when I really explore that. Mandrake is a favourite, as well as mullein, and I’ve also deeply appreciated @graveyarddirt‘s tips and input when it comes to amanita muscaria. 

I’ve also previously mentioned my Dionysian leanings, and as I believe in approaching deities and spirits in the ways that are appropriate to them, there are some Hellenic and Orphic influences to my practice when it comes to those entities. Dionysus is possibly the deity I’ve been most passionate about for the longest, and it came to a point where even as a Luciferian, I couldn’t really ignore it anymore. Incorporating my veneration of him into my practice was a bit of a process, but it’s been working well so far. Eventually I hope to try and round out that side of my path a little more. I’m very drawn to Phanes for what are I’m sure very obvious reasons for anyone who reads this blog, and I’ve been strongly considering approaching Hypnos and Pasithea for a few reasons. Prometheus is also, unsurprisingly, a figure I respect though do not (currently) actively venerate. 

Bizarrely, I have never felt any draw to Hekate. You’d think I would, between her torchbearer epithets and symbolism, the keys and snakes and magic, and how cthonic she is, but it just never clicked for me. I have a great deal of respect and curiosity, but I don’t honestly think I’d ever try to form a relationship with her. 

Please note that I’m speaking of these gods and how I hope to approach them from the mindset of a Luciferian and an occultist. I know that the idea of Hellenic pagans worshiping and venerating the pantheon as a whole with maybe some favoured patrons versus picking and choosing like I have is a topic that’s discussed now and then, but as I said before, I do not actually consider myself a Hellenic pagan… just a Luciferian with Hellenic and Orphic influences. So while I’ll approach Dionysus and the others with the offerings and tone befitting them, it’s within the framework of that Luciferianism.

While it may appear at a glance that these are two disjointed halves or “pantheons” that make up an eclectic whole, they’re very interwoven. To use my interest in medicinal and occult herbalism as an example, as well as my study of veneficium or the poison path, both Azazel and Pasithea make valuable allies in such work: Azazel is a teacher of herbal knowledge, and Pasithea is the Grace/Charity of relaxation, hallucination, and altered states of mind. I also work a great deal with Lucifer for Illumination when it comes to divination, and Dionysus had a connection to Delphi (which he was said to inhabit during the winter months as Apollo went elsewhere) and his cult likely had some influence over the Oracle’s rites shifting from being oneiric to trance based. Though the context changes, the themes, skills, knowledge, and so forth overlap.

The fact that I can intertwine these seemingly disparate deities and practices is a relief to me. Though I speak of allies and partnerships and a working relationship, I’m also just very passionate about and drawn to these deities and spirits, and would likely take a strictly religious approach to them if need be. Finding the thematic similarities between my approach to Luciferianism and the things that draw me to the Greek deities and spirits I appreciate is exciting and vindicating as I go about building my own practice and beliefs.

Besides the serpent, what other symbols can be connected to Lucifer? Thank you!

There are several, and these are all connected to Illumination in some way. The Promethean torchbringer, also found in the symbolism of the Statue of Libery is very Luciferian. In fact, the statue of Liberty can be used as a very subtle substitute, when one needs to conceal their allegiance due to living with others, etc much like the statue of Athena/Minerva. Another popular symbol is variations on the All-Seeing Eye; there are certain variations by various artists, some of which in the Renaissance or older, that can be used as well, if one seeks subtlety. Another symbolism is Sapientia (Reason, Rational Mind) in alchemical drawings. Some symbolisms are more complex, and require the incorporation of processes and subtle teachings that go along with it: look for the Ninth Gate (1999 film), which is undoubtedly a masterpiece and the finest subtle Luciferian movie of its kind. Johnny Depp is excellent there, and Polanski has adapted the original book (Arturo Perez Reverte's Ninth Gate) to an incredible thing, that is full of layers and subtle truths.

Devotion to Lucifer

Glorious Lucifer, most ancient of deities, It is you who knows the Path of Awakening. I honour you with every breath, For without your guidance, my soul is incomplete. It is you who guides all towards Illumination, The eternal freedom of the spirit. And it is you, Radiant One, Who shatters the illusory chains of this world. You are the dark keeper of knowledge, The bright flame within the shadows. You rise victorious through every struggle; Fearless in the face of pain and terror. You are the one who sets the example, Showing us true strength And the lessons one can gain through Adversity. I honour you before your magnificent black throne, Most glorious king and mentor. You are beyond the beauty of the stars, Beyond the mystery of untold knowledge. It is in you that I begin to see the secrets of eternity. Lucifer, unfathomable one of vast wisdom, You who is as dark as night and bright as day combined, Guide me ever onwards to the heights of Illumination.

“Satan became bored with the frenzied ravings of the epileptics, sated with living in the lewd dreams of the monks. The stupid game of exorcism did not amuse him anymore. He wanted to become God, to become God even before the real Antichrist was begotten. He wanted to be God in the kingdom of spirits, a proud and wild Anti-god that would push the Nazarene, the usurper of the earth, back into his invisible kingdom once more. Thus spoke Mani, this ancient holy wisdom. “There are two gods, equally powerful, equally mighty and eternally opposing each other. The invisible god of “good”, who is enthroned in heaven, who does not trouble himself over the earth and only lives for the perfection of his chosen ones— Then there is another god, the god of sins, who rules over the earth. But sins are not really sins because they came from this god like the virtues that came from the other god, the indolent god who said, “Don’t exert yourselves, just follow me.””
