A subreddit for those interested in Traditional Luciferianism.

Before posting, please review the Rules and FAQ.

r/Luciferianism is, as its name suggests, about the ideology called Luciferianism.

Luciferianism bases itself on the Greco-Roman idea of Lucifer as Venus/the Morningstar - not the biblical Satan. This is one of the major differences between Luciferianism and Satanism.

In the Greco-Roman context, Lucifer is seen as an illuminating and benevolent figure. Lucifer is invested in nurturing and growing humanity and rebels against attempts to trap it in servitude. Lucifer freely spreads knowledge and provides seekers with the tools to liberate themselves and improve their lives.

Luciferians believe that humanity is gifted with the divine spark of intelligence. We seek to refine it through the pursuit of understanding and wisdom about ourselves and the world around us. Luciferians are inherently compelled towards enlightenment and apotheosis (godhood) through embodying Lucifer’s gift.

Luciferianism is part of the left hand path, not the right hand path. That means, it focuses on developing the individual self over dissolving it into a larger force. This does not mean that the LHP is a selfish and narcissistic worldview. Rather, the LHP focuses on cultivating a clear and strong sense of self first and then investing one's maximum effort wherever one chooses.

Luciferianism can be Atheistic or Theistic. Both groups agree on the Luciferian ideal and associated traits. The difference is that Atheistic Luciferians view Lucifer as an archetypal personality, not a literal being. In contrast, Theistic Luciferians experience Lucifer as a real and personal deity.

Thanks to /u/MissPuffPaff for providing the inspiration and guide for the new description.

Spiritual awakening

I recently had a spiritual awakening where lucifer reached out to me and told me his story. This is my interpretation I got from it.

lucifier isn’t in fact the devil. But an angel and the bearer of sin and pain. He is a light bringer. He was punished by god for proving him wrong that giving humans free will was a mistake. He showed humans they had free will and they chose to sin. Since then he was forced to carry all the pain of sin. This is not the world he wanted. But his light is keeping darkness abide while he absorbs it all while still shining bright and giving hope. He wants a world full of love and equality. God is punishing him with the pain. But still all he does is care and love while taking all the pain of human greed and sin.

Would love to hear your take on this and any recommendations on how to connect more. Thanks in advance

My family cannot understand Luciferianism

I swear.

No matter how hard I try, the name always congers up the church lady in them. Satan is bad! Why would you worship a devil?

Any tips on a better way explaining this to old school Christian’s? Or a lost hope?

Good luciferian books?

I posted here a day ago about being an agnostic Luciferian and I think i found my true beliefs. I still am agnostic but this is the beliefs i identify the most. Anyway any good Luciferian books? I've looked a free sample of "The bible of the adversary" on my kindle and really like it. I was also looking at The infernal gospel, at satans alter and a few others. Just looking for book suggestions to learn more about it.

New (Temporary?) Moderation

Hi all! u/Luciferian_Owl has decided to take a step back from spirituality for a period of time and has left me in charge for the time being. I just thought I'd introduce myself and assure you that I aim to remain a neutral party invested in maintaining quality discussion while inviting deviating viewpoints and healthy discussion.

I have been a Luciferian for 2-3 years now and have taken my studies very seriously. I strive for the betterment of the Luciferian community through the different ideas on what, who, or why is Lucifer. We all have a job to do, and that job is to be a Light-Bringer in whatever capacity we choose to be. I hope I can provide a comfortable, yet differing, environment that you can enjoy.

Can you be an agnostic Luciferian?

I posted a question similar to this on the Satanism subreddit but got mixed answers. Ever since i found Satanism its helped me be more of myself and i agree that Lucifer is in someways a better icon than god or christianity. The only thing is I'm more agnostic. So i see Lucifer as more of an Icon but i see things like "if he and others deities exist i respect all of them but choose Lucifer as the one i follow" its hard to describe my beliefs cause everywhere i look I cant find an answer. Its like Satanists say i can't be agnostic and from the looks of it i need to be fully theistic to be a luciferian. As i put on the Satanism subreddit i could count myself as agnostic, polytheistic, luciferian. I'm just confused lol.

The Left-Hand Path Explained

It is my aim to introduce, with focused simplicity, what the Left-Hand Path is in the tradition of modern Luciferian Magical practices.

• I will explain the differences between the Right-Hand and Left-Hand Path.

• That Luciferian Magick is in totality, on all levels, at core existent exclusively as a Left-Hand Path esoteric tradition; albeit an ever transforming and individualistic school of thought that is loosely defined as a tradition.

• The hidden meaning and connection between the terms Black Magic and the symbol of the Luciferian Adept, BAPHOMET as the symbol of the Magician in the idealized state of Apotheosis and self-mastery.

• That the Left-Hand Path has subtle variations and differences in the Western Adversarial teachings compared to the Eastern practices of Tantra; there are core points that are closely identical within the syncretism of Luciferian philosophy and the Black Arts.

• Finally, I will present how the philosophical foundations contained in APOTHEOSIS reveal the absolute significance of successful initiation into the mysteries of the Left-Hand Path with the core, often difficult to master, the methods of self-mastery and discipline via meditation, Ahrimanic Yoga, and the practical steps of Liberation, Illumination, and Apotheosis.

The hidden and forbidden knowledge within Luciferian teachings is woven in the concept of Deific Masks, specific types of power and energy in symbolic theriomorphic and theomorphic representations (such as the horrible or beautiful depictions of angels and demons). This is for the purpose of the Luciferian to perceive and conceptualize within the mind and by the Gnosis of Will, Desire, and Belief.

The vibration and utterance of what the ancient magicians and sorcerers used to encircle energy and force to shape spells are the Voces Magicae. The "Voces Magicae" in a singular term is "vox magica", meaning "magical names" and "magical words".

The vast and surviving arcana of Voces Magicae are pronounceable but chaos-created uses of epithets and key roots of deities that are magical formulas. Using these names by intense utterances, vibrations in rhythm either quietly or loudly as types of mantras, occurred in spells, invocations involving theurgy (as in Hermetic traditions) charms, curses, and amulets to compel change within the self and towards the desire of the magician.

This type of modern "Shadow Tongue" by naming and commanding our identification with specific types of energy and power (mediated via our psyche) have mysterious keys to initiation and results when the unity of Will, Desire, and Belief are attained in meditative and ritual Gnosis (Knowledge).

As you will understand, reading a ritual or spell aloud in a uninspired or even fearfully cautious way is the quickest path to frustration and failure, categorizing it as "useless" and forgotten in the nothingness of the unknown. The Left-Hand Path in Luciferianism unites and guides one to understand and attain the skills of a cause and effect manifestation when the rational benefit of disbelief (the way of mastery in daily life) is suspended in the act of ritual.

Seek careful understanding of what the actual meaning of the "unity" of Will, Desire, and Belief is and how using imagination, visualization and by rhythmic vibration (akin to common mantras) of invocations. Actually visualizing and creating the liminal state of both ecstasy and the acceptance of your simple aim in your ritual as something that is gradually manifesting in the present and near future simultaneously.

Fantasy when is derived from attainable desires is made manifest via our individual tools and Satanic Keys we possess already within. Having the confidence and total belief in the ritual chamber empowers the act of both theurgy and goetia (discussed in the video).

The Left-Hand Path demands self-determined and the dedication of trusting your intuition as a recipient of the Adversarial Current, magical guidance mediated via ones own Daemon (associated with the psyche) and what my teachings call "Deific Masks". We either in the transformative change in Apotheosis become like the Nephilim, the sons and daughters of the Watchers in the lore of Enoch I.

Michael W. Ford's books are available at the Luciferian Apotheca, the vast Left-Hand Path Occult Shop (since 2007) online here:

Found silly group that claims to be Luciferian

Recently I joined a group (but left already) that claimed themselves to be a Luciferian group. They teach rituals that you can easily find online, which is okay - it doesn’t mean it is bad. However, what I find interesting is that they really don’t like people talking about other teachings. They act like a monotheistic religion, which is contradict to the very fundamental principle of being a Luciferian.

Anyhow, just be careful. There are a lot of silly groups out there.

Has anyone here revealed themselves and been persecuted or alienated?

Just looking for commiserations. Feeling very low but also realizing the hypocrisy of the christian moralistic world and the tendency for the weak to mobilize against the strong. Without my conviction I would likely have given up and checked out, or reacted in an unethical way. My existence has become an act of mercy but I do not forgive. Ive gained more perspective on Lucy as well, to be cast aside for being right, willing to swing the hammer, and to challenge the status quo or the vested power. I am a theistic person and I was initiated in a familial tradition; I feel like our concepts of what is evil what is moral and what us good have been usurped and turned upside down to reward those who are the most narcissistic and cold and those who take risks and innately care about others are damaged. Ive gained a lot of insight into what it is to be cast out, exiled, demonized- there is no fall from grace , there is a rejection of the silent consent that allows this demiurge to maintain their will in a primacy over any mind who engages higher understanding.

Concerning the vain disputations in the subreddit community

We, as moderators, have been following the debates closely in the past few days and weeks.

That it been regarding if Lucifer is the only God, or if he is from Christian origins or pagans ones, that if he represent light or darkness, if Lucifer is Jesus or not, if he exist or not.

Time after time the exact same discourse and arguments are faced ad eterneam, and insults are rapidly divising the community always further.

I think it is very important to remind everyone that Luciferianism is before everything else a personal belief. Since there is no organized Luciferian religions, or unified school of toughts, and that there will probably never will, then it is pointless to try to force the other one in front of you to think like you.

Not only this, but the goal of Luciferianism is to become like Lucifer, a light-bringer, and that means that you will also help others to becomes light-bringers too, their own deities in themselves. Empowering oneself, and others, this is the path of a light-bringer.

Arguing on historical facts is overall pointless, and one of the least important aspect of Luciferianism. I understand that it may seem important to feel grounded in an historical movement, but the teaching here, is to be grounded in your own self.

Historical facts regarding Lucifer and Luciferianism are overall rare, and way often than most contradictory depending on the sources. Some can retrace the origins up to Enki, and others see it as a distinct Christian movement. And in this, both are right and wrong in their own terms.

Then, the archetype of the Light-Bringer is a very controversial subject too. Certain historical figures like Jesus can be considered a light-bringer archetype by some, and the opposite by others. This is a very subjective subject.

If you want to learn more about Luciferianism, I would recommend the FAQ of the subreddit. https://www.reddit.com/r/luciferianism/s/fZWyZXBIc4

If you have any questions regarding this post, feel free to comment or to DM the mod team.

Our True Creator ENKI (LUCIFER)

Discover That The Bibles Version of Events Is a Direct Parody of An Ancient Scripture From Mesopotamia Called The Myth of Adapa (Adam), This Particular Epic Involved Two Mesopotamian Gods Enki (Lucifer) and Enlil.

Enki Was In Charge and Was The God Of Wisdom, Healing and Creation To Name Just a Few, Enlil On The Other Hand Was The God Of Wind, Earth and Storms. Enlil Hated Humans and Wished They’d Disappear, It Was In Fact Enki That Informed Akenhaten (Moses) To Build a Boat To Save Lives From The Flood His Brother Enlil Was Sending, Anyhow It Was Because Of This The Two Almost Went To War With One Another.

It Happened To Be That Enlil, The True Evil, Rallied Against Enki Making Him Out To Be The Evil One and Had Him ‘Cast Out’ Of Power ‘Into The Darkness’ and The Evil God Enlil Took His Place Of Power. Enki Is The True God and He Is What We Know As Lucifer Today, The Light Bearer, The True God.

What's the connection between Lucifer and Shiva?

Hello there 🙏🏻 I had a strange dream in which I was in the sun with Lucifer and the deity named Shiva, they were sitting cross-legged side by side and Shiva seemed close to Lucifer, I felt empathy and support between them. Satan's name was also mentioned several times but without any negativity (I'm not into judging anyone anyway, it was a calm and interesting dream). So, I'm a luciferian buddhist but I've never paid attention to any deity, Shiva is more linked to Hinduism but also appears in Buddhism, I recognized him because he was identical to his mythological representations (masculine, blue, four arms etc). This is the first time I've had a dream like this, so I'd like to know if there's a known link between Lucifer and Shiva? Some people say that Shiva is Lucifer, or even Satan... I prefer to look for answers here.

Gratitude and Light on you 🌟

Any French Speakers?

Finally coming back after a few years and picking back up where I started. Wanted to know if any native speakers out there who have read the works of Éliphas Lévi (Alphonse Constant) and how they felt.

I have some of his translated works and was always fond of them. Obviously there can be nuance missed when reading translated works, so I'm curious how others feel.

Any recommendations for others similar to him?

LGBTIQ+ Demon?

Considering that there are spirits that govern countries or cities, there are also groups and communities that have their own ruling spirit. In that sense, I'd like to know your opinion about a spirit that governs the entire LGBTQ+ community: its members, their sexuality, diversity, culture and ideology. I don't know if it could be understood as an egregore or an angel, but I think it would be interesting to focus on a demon. What do you think? If it were a demon, would it be a famous one with an established cult, or an undetermined spirit? How would one establish contact?

teen new to luciferianism

Hey guys I hope your having a good week I have some questions.

All what I've read on this and similar subreddits seem like they require years of experience. There's a lot of information that my adhd brain doesn't know how to sort/remember and it all seems very intimidating for a 16yo lmao.

I've been a theistic luciferian for as long as I remember but I've only held ideologies, not actually practiced anything like rituals or invocations. I live in a Christian house so I couldn't do that even if I wanted. I'm really interested in the guy and want to talk to him but I feel like I need to have a ton of knowledge under my belt before I go into something like that. Do I need to have a guardian angel with me before I meditate to try to talk to him? (I don't have one) or can I just go in with absolutely nothing? Is that possible?

Also, is there any website I can download books for free? ZLibrary doesn't work for me anymore and I don't want to click around and get a virus.

How to know if Lucifer is reaching out to you?

I've been working on trying to connect with Lucifer for awhile. One day I took a bath and left my black and white bracelet on my bed. I laid on my bed and forgot all about it until a clear image of my bracelet popped up in my head and I scrambled all around my bed only to realize my bracelet is no longer there anymore but instead I saw a white feather on my bed, mind you my windows are doors are always closed and I do not own any feathered items. A few days back I was out at the mall and felt severely itchy on my shoulder and I found a large white feather tucked underneath my tight tank top. I've also had dreams of people mentioning his name. Is this Lucifer trying to connect with me? Or is it something else? I did tarot and all it told me was to trust whatever is happening, so I'm quite confused. Does Lucifer like to take certain things? Does he leave white feathers? Is it truly Lucifer I'm working with here? I'm quite new to working with deities so please give me some advice!

Am I getting signs from Lucifer?

It could be a coincidence, but I’ve been trying to contact Lucifer for months. And recently I keep getting the number 666 on everything. My McDonald’s order number, video game hashtags are full of 666. It seems anything I do that needs a number has the number 666. It’s a weird coincidence. It’s been happening a lot. Is this a sign of Lucifer?

Could one technically be religiously Jewish and Luciferian at the same time?

I agree with a lot of Reform Jewish values, but I'm also very drawn to Lucifer. To me, a singular "God" is just a big ball of chaotic energy in which we take bits and pieces of and anthropomorphise to what perception fits us best. If you don't technically worship Lucifer and again, percieves him as simply another perception of the "one God", would it not go against the Torah? Could I apply certain Luciferian beliefs to my life as well?

Sorry if this is a silly question
