Daily reminder that if you consider yourself a Luciferian/Demonolator/Satanist/pagan of the left hand path, you are on a journey to become a god/dess. You are worthy of worship, too. Remember to give yourself credit where credit is due. I know you love your deities to death, but remember that you are one, too. You do so much for yourself every single day. Give yourself a pat on the back for everything you did and for how far you've come. You're on your own path, don't compare yourself to others. Hail thyself!

[cultkinkcoven]

O’ my Lord Lucifer, Lord Phosphoros, Great Attar Ishtar, Shining Helel,

I come to you again on this sacred day,

You, who graciously teaches the mysteries of the cosmos,

You, light bringer, who illuminates and liberates,

Giving dignity to the oppressed and forging revolution with your every step.

O’ God of outcasts, O’ mourning star,

You, who falls, who once lost everything, and built himself up again,

Who survived after exile and made a world for his own,

Who embraces his kin with unconditional love,

So that they may learn to love themselves.

God of freaks, God of rebels, God of free thinkers,

We hail your light, for it renews and transforms us.

God of movement, God of progress, God of struggle, God of chaos and control,

Who teaches us to be forged by the flames,

To burn away all that does not serve us,

How splendid is your presence,

You, who makes suffering bearable,

Who loves radically and freely, deeply and intensely,

Who frees the mind from the shackles of bondage and slavery,

And gives me wings to fly,

Who teaches me with intimate care,

Who gives me the strength to love again,

In your name, O’ God, I make myself in your image,

I color myself in your light, and I find you everywhere.

O’ Lucifer, O’ light bringer,

Even when your light cannot be seen, even when you fall below the horizon,

There’s a glimmer in my heart that trust fully in your return,

And you reward my heart, O’ Lord, every time.

In this new chapter, and as I consecrate this rite, I accept every part of you, and every lesson you have yet to teach me,

I give you infinite grace for all that you have already given me,

I forever invite you, O’ Lord, to be near me in all things,

For I await you as I always have, in the place I always do,

In the temple of my heart.

O’ Lucifer, so it shall be, as it has always been; as it shall be again.

Ave Lucifer, Hail thyself!

Thank you. 🖤

Happy Venus Day and a very blessed first rite to all Lucifer devotees!!!! ✴️💖

“I don’t have to respect your deity because I don’t worship them” is a very odd logic to adopt while interacting with fellow pagans, I believe, especially for people who follow the same path or pantheon.

[satanachia666]

6 Satanic Self-Care Suggestions

1. Believe in yourself.

2. Honor your physical, mental, and spiritual needs.

3. Set boundaries and stand up for yourself.

4. Indulge in the worldly pleasures that bring you joy.

5. Use the power of ritual to your benefit.

6. Look to Satan for knowledge, insight, and inspiration.

🌕 Pearl Satanachia 🌕

[sonofstarsnsea]

I am tired of being seen as evil.

I am tired of my sisters and brothers being seen as evil.

I am tired of hate, fear and ignorance. I am tired of the false love you all proclaim to give, only to be faced with the most ruthless disgust I could ever imagine.

Lucifer is not a being of evil. Satan is not a being of evil. Baphoment is not a being of evil.

They, as everything is and will be, are a chromatic spectrum of the light, of all shades, of all lifes. They reject animal cruelty, they despise violence, they look down at those who wish harm on others.

Lucifer, bringer of light, does not hate. I, who shall be, do not hate. Is it really hard to love eachother, to see and care for eachother? Isn’t that what you were taught?

Yet, I love you. I love every single one of you, because I truly cannot hate, I cannot despise. This wasn’t taught, no god or religion told me to love.

I was born like this. I was born loving and I will die loving. Can't you do the same?

[siren-nereide]

☆ My altar, I adore small spaces to center myself! Thank you Lord Lucifer! ☆

♡ Mirum habe diem! Multum amor ♡

[nous-teleios]

There is no reason for us as pagans or occultists to leave out or purposefully avoid most abrahamic traditions.

Historic forms of Christianity such as Catholicism and Orthodoxy implement a lot of pre-existing pagan concepts, but instead of the common knee-jerk reaction of accusing them of stealing our traditions, I think we should all just embrace the syncretism and kinda roll with it.

If you live in a majority Catholic country, the version of the Virgin Mary that is popular in your place is likely linked to some pre-existing goddess of that area. I see no reason why you shouldn't honour this, as it is basically a surviving lineage of honouring various local deities.

Early, pre nicene Christianity was often mixed and merged with local paganism, and there is some evidence that the idea of monotheism in Christianity was not a popular one at first. In the Greek Magical Papyri, abrahamic prophets, angels, and Christian saints are all invoked together with Hellenic or Kemetic gods such as Helios, Thoth, Hermes and many others.

Let's reclaim these new deities that came to our lands in a way that doesn't hurt us or take away from our paths. As modern pagans, we have a chance to get things right this time or to remain bitter and in conflict with the traditions of our time. The choice is ours, today.

[thesylverlining]

Maybe it's just because I worship a deity of change, but I've got the weirdest feeling that shit's actually going to be okay

[goldenbat]

sometimes all you need to do to drag yourself out of your misery is by actually sitting down at your deities altar & just meditate in silence. just feel their energy & how different their energy feels. do just that, feel them & how they intwine their energies with yours & then just pour your heart out. say whatever's on your mind, watch their candle, smell their incense. feel them. i did this 2 days ago with lucifer & lilith when i felt myself slip back into a psychotic episode over days. but the major thing is, i didn't complain. my words gradually got more positive towards myself. i encouraged myself. i told my patrons how proud i am of myself. & i clearly saw through lucifer's flame how immensely proud he was of me. i felt it. i felt his smile, and his warmth, like a hug, like a "you've grown so much". during the meditation i felt my arms get super warm, which is just lucifer's thing. with lilith, i felt her energy as being very straight forward, very big & encouraging. her way of being proud was more like a, "fuck yeah, you're fucking sexy and smart. say it again." i also felt her energy in a very vibrant way, especially by my forehead & back of my head. i felt like i needed to share this specifically because the biggest thing i learned over time is that if you don't start living for yourself, you will always be a slave in your own life. and we don't need that. think about yourself how you think of others, as beautiful, as smart, etc. believe that you're full of energy & that you're made to create, that you're much more than your vessel. you're much more than the being here & now, there's so so much more to you. embrace it & you will become stronger each day 🖤

Started playing Far Cry 4 again for like the millionth time. I just cleared the first outpost and I got all the Golden Path calling me their savior, that I am meant for greatness.

And since I know already all the story, I am crying because I am realizing truly how lost Ajay is in all of this—he is trying his best for his mother’s homeland while also trying to realize who he is and what does it mean that there is a legacy people expect him to continue on.

His father was murdered, he does not know why, the only person willing and that can give him answers is the fucking dictator that did not leave a good first impression, his is trying to mediate between Sabal and Amita, and ughhhh.

He is lost in where it is supposed to be his country, and he doesn’t know if he is doing right or wrong, but he only knows that people cry to him, and that nobody else pulls the trigger when it should matter :(

“Who else pulls the trigger here?”

AJAY BABY.

I definitely need to write a fanfic in which the civil war gets peacefully resolved because everyone realizes Ajay is literally the appropriate person to rule Kyrat—he is favored by the Golden Path followers, due to his parents and also his great dees, but he is also appointed by Pagan Min as the heir to the throne.

THE SOLUTION IS THEREEEEEE

(this reminds me of the DLC in Far Cry 6… sounds to me like it is implied Ajay assumed the role of King and nuked Montana LMAO)
