  • Easter Morning Ritual for Lucifer

    Easter Morning Ritual for Lucifer

    Lucifer Sculpture, Guillaume GeefsHappy Zombie Day!

    As we draw nearer to the Christian holiday of Easter once again, as Satanists we are reminded why Christians celebrate Easter. It’s one of their most important holidays besides Christmas.

    But, what does the holiday really mean? This holiday can have a spiritual significance for you as a Satanist as well, once you understand itā€™s general meaning. The tale of Christian Easter is focused on the death and resurrection of a god. This tale is not unique to Christians, as you will see.

     

     

    Dying gods are common..

    There are many stories from around the world about the dying and reborn god. for instance, in one of the more popular tales, we can go back to ancient Egypt and their belief in Osiris, who died and rose from the dead. In the story, the king Osiris was tricked by his brother, Seth to lie down in a lead box which was thrown into a river. In mourning his wife, Isis, searched for him until his resting place was finally found. The gods rewarded Isis for her faithfulness and they resurrected Osiris. The festival for this was usually around April 3rd, where after a three-day celebration the final ceremony was conducted, in which Osiris was found and resurrected. It is theorized that this ritual was linked with their fertility and harvest cycle.(1)

    Many of these myths have a common theme and purpose and are based on agricultural and natural happenings between winter and spring. Grains were harvested in fall and they bloom again in the spring, and the folks of the time related that to the symbolism of the action of the god dying and being resurrected. Many of these stories have several versions as well, so there is a variety of mythos much like what the Christians have.

    Could us as Satanists have our own legend too? I think the closest thing is the fall and rise of Lucifer, as told in their Bible. But even before Lucifer was demonized by Christians and it was written in their Bible, the Lucifer of Roman times, as the son of the goddess of the dawn, was hailed in a similar fashion, as a god that rises in the east and falls in the west.

    The eastern star can be a focal point for you on early Easter morning, if you wish, doing a ritual to honor Lucifer as a fallen and risen god. Lucifer as a living god is a force that many of us relate to as Satanists but on his own, as a liberator from the darkness of ignorance. Just as Lucifer liberates us from the night, his star heralds the dawn letting us know that morning, and a new day has arrived.

    Ritual for Lucifer

    This is a quick, basic ritual that you can do for Lucifer. In my teachings, I relate Lucifer to the powers of the Air, The planet Venus, and the dual sign of Libra, being both morning and evening star. For this ritual, the color is Blue, and the herb/oil to use is lavender. These are only suggestions for you to use, of course, based on common associations of elemental and planetary magic.

    Outdoors, early in the morning while the eastern star is still visible, burn some fresh dried lavender or light lavender incense. Light a blue candle that has been mindfully anointed with Lavender oil; Hand draw the sigil of Lucifer on a piece of paper or parchment. Face the eastern star and say this as you light your candle.

    Morning star of Lucifer, bring your light,

    Help me escape the ignorance of the night,

    Show me the way through your divine power!

    On this Easter morning at this early hour!

    You can also supplement this evocation with any saying that you wish instead of the one that I have provided. If you like, burn your sigil after your evocation, the smoke from it will rise towards the stars. Alternatively, keep it on your personal altar as a memento of this moment in time.

    Spend some time meditating on the symbolism of Lucifer and the beneficial things Lucifer can bring your life. I like to think that Lucifer brings us wisdom and clarity, just like the symbolic scales of Libra allow for a person to carefully consider an issue and make an educated decision. Lucifer brings balance, being at the midpoint between night and day. Luciferā€™s appearance before dawn is symbolic of the idea that comes first that that leads to full realization. Allow Lucifer to enter your heart and renew it. Lucifer is the knowledge and wisdom of the spirit. Allow the spirit of Lucifer to raise your consciousness. Hopefully through this symbolism, as a Satanist, you can celebrate Easter by giving notice to Lucifer.

    Lucifer as a Christian Problem:

    What you may find interesting is that even Christians have a problem with their version of Lucifer. As the morning star, Lucifer is mentioned outside of his Isaiah verse (fallen son of the morning..) stating: – “I, Jesus, have sent my angel to give you this testimony for the churches. I am the Root and the Offspring of David, and the bright ‘Morning Star.’” Rev 22:16.

    Most English translations title the “Lucifer” in the Revelation verse as “Morning Star” while they leave the original Isaiah verse as “Lucifer”! While this verse is found in the basic king James version of their own bible you will find that many Christians deny the association between their Jesus and Lucifer, even though it is in plain sight as bright as the star of the morning.

  • Lucifer, The Fallen

    In the city of Madrid, in Retiro Park, the largest park of the city, there is a statue of Lucifer that was created by the artist Ricardo Bellver.

    Bellver created the statue of Lucifer in 1877. He named this creation, “The Fallen Angel (El Ɓngel CaĆ­do)”. This statue is said to be the only [public] work of art in the world to be ‘dedicated wholly’ to Lucifer. It was such a wonderful creation, that Ricardo Bellver had won the First Medal at the Spanish National Fine Arts Exhibition in 1878, and afterward it was placed in Retiro Park, in a fountain.

    The Fall Of Lucifer
    The Fallen Angel statue represented a passage in the poetry of Milton’s Paradise Lost. Paradise lost was inspired by the earlier Vondel’s Lucifer. These were works of epic religious drama inspired by the classic poets, like Virgil. It was, of course, a dramatic struggle between good and evil that entertained the idea of the ‘fall of Lucifer’, and the fall of Man, to a Christian audience.

    In this statue, we can see that Lucifer is falling against the rocks, towards the earth. Wrapped around his legs is the serpent, a symbol of Satan in Christian myth. The serpent was the original cause of the ‘fall of man’, according to christian theology, and through this the gods of man [such as Lucifer] had fallen too, in the age of Christianity. There is a look of horror on his face, as if he were witnessing the ‘wrath of god’. This statue also symbolizes an important concept, that Satan and Lucifer are forever entwined together.

    Fall, Or Freedom?

    When Lucifer declared to god, “Non Serviam!” [paradise lost] it was his own assertion of power and for this he was ‘cast’ to the earth along with all of the other demons, devils and gods into Pandemonium, the land beneath the earth, otherwise known as hell. From this he gathered his armies and with Satan and Belial at his side he declared independence for all who would follow his example.

  • Lucifuge Rofocale

    The name of the demon known as Lucifuge, or Lucifuge Rofocale originated from the Latin lux fugio [literally, to flee the light] and Rofocale which has been speculated to be a ciphered name from the Goetia, Focalor, another demon that is found within the grimorie known as the Lemegeton1.A grimoire is a book of magic and incantations for demons, angels and spirits.

    Lucifuge was described by Honorius [possibly from the 13-15th CE] as the demon in charge under the emperor Lucifer for the government of hell. Within The Book of Honorius is an invocation to summon and make a pact with Lucifuge Rofocale. There are many Christian grimoires that have included the names of Lucifer and Lucifuge within the ranks of hell2.

    Other authors have created hierarchies of hell by using ideas of the past, such as within The Book of Ceremonial Magic written by AE Waite. He included a Christian rite to Lucifuge, and a method of pact making with the demon much like the book of Honorius.

    The creation of the hierarchies of hell was a literary invention by Christians and Theologians. It is most likely that the interpretations of Lucifer within these books are in direct relation to the Christian legend of the fall of Lucifer and the perceived connection that Lucifer and Satan are the same.

    Lucifuge is a demon that was created by authors who wrote grimoires. Lucifer and Lucifuge may sound similar but their origins are quite different. Translated, Lucifer is known as The Light Bringer and Lucifuge is known as He who Flees from the Light.

    There is a relation to these two different beings known as Lucifer and Lucifuge. As the name suggests, Lucifer was related throughout mythology as the one who brings the light, and Lucifuge, being the counter-part to Lucifer, would run from the light of day and bring the nightfall. It was an easy transition to create this representative of the evening star of Venus, into a demon of the night.

    Lucifer had been demonized in two different ways. Firstly he was stripped of his beauty and power through his association with goddesses of feminine power and beauty [Venus] through literary tales and within the bible. And then, his counterpart, Hesperous, Noctifer, was demonized by changing the meaning of his name from bringer of the night, to Lucifuge the one who flees the light, denying the presence of God.

  • Review: The Book of Lucifer

    I finally decided to research the Book of Lucifer.

    The original edition of Livri Luciferi is a ‘translated’ version by a person named “Sollog Immanuel Adonai Adonai [PDF]” who runs a ‘prophecy website’, and he has undoubtedly gotten much attention for releasing this book on the internet.

    Supposedly this document was created by a Jewish man named Ben Shakur, and translated into the Vulgate version, which is available in English. The Livri Luciferi [or Livri Luciferius, The Book of Lucifer] is an internet document that was “originally written on the parchment of human skin in human blood” and worse yet, according to the author’s warning there is a ‘Curse of Lucifer’ in the book.

    I researched the name “Ben Shakur” It is not a Jewish name, it is Arabian. the alternate form is Shakir and translated it means “Grateful, or Thankful”. I seriously doubt the claims of the author at that point.

    The author claims that the oldest version of this book is from the 4th century, a translation created by Pope Sylvester. Through comparisons of the verses in this document, I was able to find that the Latin text of the Livri Luciferi matches, word for word, the Stuttgart edition of the Biblia Sacra Vulgata [the Latin vulgar edition], first printed in 1969. At this point I was convinced that this document was created in modern times, by a singular author.

    If this had been a true 4th century edition of the Vulgate there would have been a large variation in the translation. The Stuttgart Edition of the Bible would have been a standard, and very modern source of Latin verses for Sollog Adonai to use, to create the verses of the Livri Luciferi.

    What I don’t like about this book, and the author uses it for a selling-point, is that it is based on conspiracy and a created history. This created history is established by the authority of public leaders, and people believe it is true, regardless of the actual origins.

    In this ancient history that the author created, the famous people who had their hands on this book were the Templars, and The Priory of Scion, Copernicus, Galileo, Nostradamus, and even Isaac Newton. To me, this notion that this book was handed down to all of these people is quite ridiculous. To complete the conspiracy the author writes that this is the book of the most secret societies in the world. It made me wonder if it was that special and that ancient why it was available on the internet for free.

    I do not think that this document is original, nor is it useful to satanists. the Livri Luciferi is a book created from bible verses transposed with the name of Lucifer. Unless you have a desire to use it for blasphemy or reading bible verses with the name of Satan or Lucifer in them, it is not much use for a satanic grimorie. What do you think about the book of Lucifer? Is it a hoax?

  • Satanic Mythology – Lucifer

    As some of you know I am releasing a book as soon as I am able to finish writing and editing it. This book is in the final stages and many of you have waited a long time!

    The [tentative] title is Lucifer: The Dark Light of Satan. I know that many Satanists will appreciate the story of this book. This is a book of Satanic Mythology, a complete legendary history of Lucifer from pre-christian times, his infamous fall after the fall of Rome, to the present day where Lucifer is worshiped as a [neo-pagan] god by Satanists, Luciferians and the Stregha. The focus is on the legends and ideas that Luciferians and Satanists identify with, through the mythology of Lucifer.

    Lucifer is a guiding force in the religion of Satanism. His presence creates a balance between the dark and the light. There are many reasons why Satanists identify with this fallen angel. Some believe that he offers wisdom, knowledge and enlightenment. I find the strength of Lucifer to be an inspiration,a motivational spark from which many great things can be achieved.

    But, what does Lucifer mean to You? Is he a bringer of enlightenment? A god? A fallen angel under the command of Satan? How do you relate to Lucifer?

    Feel free to comment and subscribe to my blog! And look forward to the release of my new book, Lucifer: The Dark Light of Satan
