An early childhood vision - a being made of flames

I would like to ask about an early childhood vision that happened a very long time ago but still affects me deeply.

I distinctly recall that when I was three or four years old, I was lying in bed with my eyes closed. It was already night, and the room was dark. I felt someone's presence and opened my eyes. There, in the near distance, was a figure leaning over my head. I don't recall her attire, but I distinctly saw a face. It was as if made up of moving red flames, similar to those seen in a wood-burning campfire. Interestingly, I felt no heat from these flames. The being spoke with palpable contentment and joy, saying, "You are mine!" After these words, I was terrified and covered my head with the quilt. I felt my consciousness fading for a few moments, and when I opened my eyes again, it was already a sunny morning. I felt a great relief.

I want to know who this being was and whether her words should have caused me any fear concerning my future? I want to know why I had such a demonic vision at such a young age?

Good day to all, looking for few really good books

3-6 titles that are really worth buying!

Thanks to everyone for helping me

I'm looking to build a wearable altar using jewelry; so far, I've found rubies, snakes, birds/dark feathers, and the obvious symbols. I'm relatively new to working with Lucifer specifically; does anyone have any other suggestions?

Specifially are there any readers you recommend in matters to do with Lucifer

Hello everyone. This is going to be a long text. So, the first time I really grew interested in working with demons was when I found Allison Fortune (@madamefortune on TikTok) and binge-watched her videos that were related to Lord Lucifer. Before finding her, I had only known two depictions of him in media: in Good Omens S1 (which was kinda over the top imo) and in Hazbin Hotel (where he was smoking hot, sorry not sorry).

Now, in June I started to watch Allison‘s videos on Lord Lucifer and how to summon him. Judging by the comments under her videos, I view her as a rather reliable source.

I kinda forgot about Lord Lucifer (the real one, not the one from Hazbin 🫡) and only recently got back into demonology through Allison‘s videos popping up on my for you page. During my first phase where I was interested, I had written an exam and a few hours later a crow had pooped on me. Some weeks later I found out that I had written an 1,0 in the exam, which was the best grade possible.

This week I found out that in a culture, Lord Lucifer is associated with crows and ravens and after asking around, I came to realise that a lot of people actually associate that with him.

(Can someone explain why exactly? I know him as the light-bearer, a figure for enlightenment etc. - how does that relate to crows and even ravens?)

Now I also feel delusional, because last week I had at least three flies fly against my lips and kinda die there because I plucked them away (they flew right into my lipgloss - I used different glosses), and I read that Lord Beelzebub is associated with flies.

I also feel delusional when it comes to Lord Lucifer, but here we go.

I am intending to contact him - specifically, to summon him the way Allison explained (inviting him in, offering something and talking to him). However, the talking bit apparently only includes divination. I know that divination is respected and often used in demonology, but I can’t help but be disappointed. See, I had been wanting to actually see or hear or feel Lord Lucifer but I don’t want to demand him to show himself to me.

Due to previous and slightly ongoing religious beliefs, I picture him as either a fallen angel or the devil. I know this might be stupid of me, which is why I kinda cling to his portrayal in Hazbin Hotel since that one seems approachable to me. I feel that I might get scared. I have tried to reconstruct my picture of him by doing research and asking others about their experience and what I’ve found out is that he is beautiful and warm and loving - almost like an assertive mentor. I know that I’ll have to completely let go of what I think he is based off of beliefs and such and see him as the figure of enlightenment that he is.

I don’t know if anyone has made it through this yapping, but if you have and you have had contact with Lord Lucifer, could you please share it with me - including how you communicated with him? It might help me with decreasing my anxiety and fears, because I really wish to work on myself spiritually and he seems to be great for beginners such as myself.

If you have advice for me, please give it to me, as I am only at the beginning of my path and wish to start a journey of betterment with the help of Lord Lucifer and perhaps other entities.

Can I add Halloween themed items to my lucifer altar?

It’s Dahlia scented

How do I find the best book about Lucifer? What am I looking for?

Enlightenment, knowledge, Hidden (occult), and learning about magic, light, and dark, miracles. About the soul and mind. And who is Lucifer Morning Star, basically I want a great book I think you got me by that point I am in an ignorant state I have been left alone since I was 4(1997) to play video games. I know nothing about anything,

I need a book, English is fine, but Hebrew is better I am Hebrew.

I’m not the best at coming up with keywords that will lead me straight to the research . I don’t want to research Lucifer’s origin in abrahamic religion; I want to know his pagan origins. I’ve have been working with him a lot and he’s really surprising me on what his aesthetic is, what he wants as offerings, his love for strawberries . (Claiming that strawberries hold both sexes and truth be told I see it) symbolic of his beautiful androgyny. Does anyone out here know where I can start this research of him as a pagan god of Venus and not as the cherished Samael but casted out angel of god. I believe in many gods and I believe all of our gods (including Lucifer) were demonized in order to get pagan populations to convert to Christianity. I need to know his true origins . I’ve been searching for months with little to no luck on Hellenistic Lucifer and his role of beauty, love, lust, comfort just as Venus would be or Venus dominated people would be (referring to astrology) if anyone can give me an answer on what credible resources I can use to properly and respectfully learn of the god Lucifer it would be much appreciated. He has told me he is Venus, morning star, candle light in the darkness, beautiful yet terrifying like a storm. He has influenced me in my recent love for the color soft pink and violet purple. He has been mentoring me through duality and the beauty it holds. I just feel it would show this beautiful god respect learning his true origins and not the Christian origins as I know as a pagan they have taken a lot of our gods and demonized them ( as an example cernunnos horned Celtic god of fertility, wealth, vitality, the forest, the wilderness and one of the oldest divine being to be worshipped) I appreciate you guys . I am a Hecate devotee and she has introduced me to Lucifer so I feel I’m obliged to learn his history first. It shows her and him respect as divine beings.

On a post here someone talked of the things they associated with Lord Lucifer. One of them was a crow, which is interesting because one once pooped on me the day I wrote an A in an exam (I didn’t know the grade at that time). It happened not long after I found out about Lord Lucifer. Might that have been a sign I only found out about now? I’ve been thinking of reaching out to him and inviting him into my room. Should I pursue communication?

Hello again. I’ve been curious about something. I know everyone’s practice is different which is why I’m so interested in the idea of who else you guys associate Lucifer with, what other deities/entities/figures? For example I know some people associate with with Prometheus.

Personally, I’m starting to associate him with Crow/Raven in my indigenous faith. Crow is the lightbringer for humanity just like Lucifer. His most famous myth is how he brings light to the world. There’s even imagery of him being reborn as a human then transforming back to crow but losing his white feathers and them turning black from soot which is why crows are black nowadays. So who else do you guys associate Lucifer with?

Was curious if the Kabbalah system of magic is compatible with luciferianism? Watching Rabbi Abe on youtube and it sounds like he is speaking about this Kabbalah system, sounds interesting.

I spoke and vented to Lucifer last night before bed, its something I enjoy doing since I'm new to working with him (about 1 month in finding him) and I think he came to me in a dream as snakes.

Only thing is... I got like... These sexy half snake half women there (upper body was woman and lower half snake at the hips) and it made me think of those half snake anime girls I seen on the internet. 😭

But, basically they were all hanging out in a wooden barn, talking to eachother and taking shelter from a tornado that had passed by. We didn't really talk I was just kinda vibing there too, then I turned into one and just casually accepted it.

I'm not sure what this means, but it an interesting dream to have. Not that its a bad thing, just I was NOT expecting it in specific and it made me chuckle upon waking up. Ha!

I've praying to him since 2 years. he has given me his blessings. Now i wanna know more about him... Can somebody help me with this task. I really wanna know more about him and i need a mentor to guide me to him.. Please,if anyone can guide me to him..please contact me,=.

A new video on a specific obscure myth of Lilith in association with Ishtar, Lamashtu and other descriptions of the Goddess of Night, Lilith; from the new book, "Lilith and Lamaštu - Legends of the Ancient Abyss" by Michael W. Ford.

I was just wondering if there were any specific holidays in Luciferianism? (I'm theistic and also looking into demonolatry if that helps at all)

Hello, this is my first post on this subreddit, my account is rather new since well I needed to make a new one for a while now. I’ve been pulled to Luciferianism for quite a while now but I’ve been hesitant to join it for a specific reason, my mental health. Apologies if this is too personal but I struggle with Bipolar Type 1 with psychotic features (meaning I also struggle with psychosis.) This diagnosis is relatively new to me and it’s made me re-evaluate a lot of facets of my life, one of those being my spirituality. I guess my question ultimately is how do I engage with Luciferianism in a healthy way? How do I know if I’m actually connecting to Lucifer or if it’s my manic/psychotic symptoms flaring up? I’d love to hear from other practitioners who struggle with mental illness or who are professionals in the field of medical care, I’m also planning on bringing this up to my psych on my upcoming visit at the end of this month. Thank you for reading and I hope to become more active in this community!

I recently started exploring Luciferianism. I'm studying and doing brief meditations on Lucifer and Belial, and little by little I want to progress to other demons.

From time to time, I visit channels and profiles on YouTube, TikTok, etc., that warn that simply praying to these entities is extremely dangerous and that not everyone should do it.

DOing some analysis, I feel a sincere need to approach Lucifer and other entities. While I want their help in material matters, I also want assistance in my spiritual growth and understanding of things. I'm not the typical believer who wants to be wealthy or manipulate others. Nevertheless, these videos end up scaring me or discouraging me from continuing.

So, is it dangerous to pray, worship, or connect with Lucifer and demons, or not?

I want to perform a dedication ritual to dedicate myself to Lord Lucifer. I know his day is Monday, but what time? Any tips would help.

On the Origins of Lucifer - A Luciferian's Take on Conceptualizing the Light Spirit

INTRODUCTION:

This will be a rough dive into history on all 3 scales - Biblical, Occultic, and Historical on the origins of the spirit known as Lucifer, the Light-Bringer, Shining One, Venus the Morning Star. My goal for making this is mostly fun, i kinda hope it helps people in their spiritual path, as I've seen a lot of posts that express confusion on who Lucifer is, but if all it does is give someone a good read, then so be it. Otherwise, I hope this goes well, and I hope you, the reader, enjoy this.

BIBLICAL:

To begin, let's first dive into the biblical aspects of the Shining One and how it permeated modern society in a way that cemented his name as a spirit of light - in whatever context that may be. Admittedly, it's a short set of events that led to something much larger. An archetype of "Fallen Angel" attached to the concept of the Light-Bearer.

There is only 1 verse in the bible that mentions Lucifer in this context, linked here in the King James Version. However... if you'll notice that most other versions of the bible avoid the proper noun Lucifer, instead opting to use "Morning Star" or "Day Star" - There's a reason for this. The King James Version attributing the fall to an entity named Lucifer is due to the smallest of mistranslations - a capital letter. The original verse is in reference to a King of Babylon, whose kingdom had just been destroyed, of which bared the title of light-bearer / shining one. We can see this in the original Hebrew, how it doesn't mention the name Lucifer, but "hê-lêl ben-šā-ḥar" which, when translated literally, means "shining one, son of morning". In Hebrew, this term doesn't refer to Lucifer the entity but rather a planet - Venus, AKA "The Morning Star". This begins to make much more sense, as Isaiah likening the King's downfall to the movement of the planet Venus, which every night seems to fall from the sky into the underworld. Even though the verse doesn't mention him by name, it's very possible this metaphor was known about due to the dieties known as Athtar and Athtart who were the Dawn and Dusk aspects of Venus respectively in Canaanite religion. There just so happens to be a story in Canaanite scripture, From Ugarit, part of the Ba'al cycle. This story goes into Athtar's aborted attempt to occupy Ba'al Hadad's throne on Mount Zaphon, after Ba'al had descended to the underworld, but proved to be too small, and had to descen to Earth and rule from there. Sounds at least kinda familiar, doesn't it?

But - How did shining one and lucifer become mixed up? Simply put - Early Christians adopting Jewish texts. The Latin Vulgate translation of the bible, which came about sometime in the 4th century, simplified this into "the star that brings the dawn" - "light bringer" - "luci fera" - "lucifer". In 1611 the translators of the King James Version came across the Latin Isaiah 14:12 and made a connection to the Greek god Prometheus, I.E. the being that defied deities in order to bring fire and light to humanity, and syncretized and concatenated the two, giving it a capital letter, turning it into a proper noun, and suddenly from a simple insult - "you were the brightest star and now you've fallen" - you now have a fallen angel that defied yahweh's absolute goodness. But how exactly did this fallen angel, AKA Venus, turn so evil and "satanic"? And where did the other Fallen Angels come from? For this, we have the Book of Enoch, which you can read here.

The book of Enoch is an apocryphal text which, academically, is defined as a "work, usually written, of unknown authorship or of doubtful origin." and was written around 200-300 BCE. The book of Enoch didn't quite make it into the bible but it was particularly popular with 2nd temple Judaism. In the Book of Enoch we have a chapter labelled "The Book of Watchers". In this chapter we have "watchers" who were dispatched to earth to watch over Humanity. However, they slowly began to "corrupt" and lust for human women, and soon began to create Nephilim with humans. Led by the leader Samyaza they defected from God's command and allowed their offspring to pillage the earth and endanger humans. Samyaza and his gang also began teaching humans certain arts, like weaponry, cosmetics, sorceries, and other secrets. This is actually where Noah's Ark and the flood come in. However, focusing on Samyaza in particular its easy to see how the characters and personalities get mixed over time - With Samyaza and the supposed "Lucifer" both falling from grace.

OCCULTIC:

Secondly, we should address the occultic aspects of Lucifer, as it directly relates with spirituality and religion, as does the bible. As far as this goes, this will be much choppier and more sporadic as occult information on Lucifer ranges from Fallen Angel to Mystical Moth God. In a sense, everyone has a different interpretation, including myself. I'll give my point of view when applicable but please, keep in mind, my gnosis is just as valid as anyone else's. Perhaps the most famous example of Lucifer's occultic appearance is in the Grimoire Verum, in which he is listed as a "Superior Spirit" amongst two others, alongside various "Inferior Spirits". He is listed to appear as a small boy, and when angry, turns red. Remarked as essentially, "not at all intimidating." This is also where his most well-known sigil comes from, the V-Chalice. Many practitioners develop their own sigils for Lucifer though the V-Chalice remains in the public eye, I myself worked out a sigil for Lucifer and I only which I now honestly prefer to use. However I've seen multiple practitioners with their own personal sigils which paints a rather laid-back picture of interacting with this deity, with their imagery being more loose and free-form than standardized as the Biblical contexts would. Not counting the Roman Personification, The Grimoire Verum is (arguably and often debated, in favour of the Roman personification) the oldest appearance of Lucifer as a religious entity, reportedly being written in 1517 but dated to the 18th Century, around 100~ years AFTER the King James translation. There is the Peter Binsfeld Classification of Demons, released in 1589, that was part of his own Treatise on Confessions by Evildoers and Witches. But, the fact that this information came from tortured Pagans/innocents who said anything to get free should say enough - I.E. There is no truth in these confessions. Lucifer also makes an appearance in S. Connolly's writings, in the Dukante Hierarchy, listed as an Air elemental with a jovial personality.

This more laid-back attitude attributed to Lucifer can still be attached to the Fallen Angel motif, without issue, they are not mutually exclusive. However, it seems our friend has has taken a more calm route when given the opportunity to be seen outside of biblical belief. In fact, my own gnosis and other practitioners that I have seen, eventually come to have their understanding of "angel" and "demon" dissolved, seeing spirits for their "true neutral nature". I myself don't believe that Lucifer is a "demon." I believe that there are misunderstandings that led to Lucifer being forcefully given the title of "demon" but this does not make him a "demon." He is a Spirit of Light - How you interpret a spirit of light is a reflection of you in so many ways. Some view him as a Fallen Angel, some see him as a Venusian deity, to him it doesn't matter what shape you see him in, so long as his teachings remain the same. And most of the time, they do, symbolizing enlightenment, truth, sometimes rebellion, among other generally positive attributes. Obviously the Biblical aspect and the Fallen Angel motif has permeated the occultic view on Lucifer in general, and this is fine, even. His teachings have literally SHINED through to people and focused on positivity and good behaviour. Venusian or Angelic, Lucifer has been a spirit of light for many people in many ways, for many reasons.

It is exactly due to these views that many gnostic beliefs syncretized Lucifer and Jesus Christ as he appears in the biblical scripture. Taking reference from the Revelations verse which named Jesus as "The Morning Star," the explicit title that is most commonly associated with Lucifer, being that his name comes from the literal morning star.

HISTORICAL:

Thirdly, we need to dive into the historical aspects because this is where the key to truly understanding Lucifer lays. The unfortunate part is, there actually is not much historical writing on Lucifer due to him being associated with an inferior planet and thus not venerated like we do today - He existed more as a personification of concepts. Both in the Roman (8th century BCE - 5th Century CE) sense of Lucifer, and even in the Greek equivalent, Phosphorus (~18th Century BCE) ((its hard to tell)), who also ended up not being a spirit venerated by many, if any, people at all. However, when you begin to paint a picture given the knowledge we have after reading this post, you can start to see that "personification of light" actually fits Lucifer perfectly. Fallen Angel, Venusian Deity, or otherwise, "Spirit of Light" has rung true for all of them. When we look back in history and observe how the word lucifer was used as the name of the planet Venus, we can begin to see that Lucifer (the deity) encompasses many concepts from many deities that are typically associated with Venus. Such as, but not limited to, Aphrodite, Astarte, Frigg, even potentially a Canaanite Deity known as Shalim, who the city of Jerusalem was named after.

Even astrologically the symbolism relates to the concepts that Lucifer encompasses, with Taurus and Libra ruling over Venus. The symbol of libra being the Scales of Justice held by Themis, the Greek personification of Divine Law and Justice while holding a masculine polarity, and the symbol of Taurus being the Bull holding a feminine polarity. Balance, throughout every lens you look through. The Light-Bringer's ideas and concepts bleed through like the morning sun.

This is why Venus and the association with the sun are excellent metaphors and concepts to attribute to and with Lucifer, due to the nature of consistency behind Venus bringing the light into view. It's been a motif with Lucifer in all incarnations and aspects, he is, put simply, the Light-Bringer.

CLOSING -

All in all, despite the many, many interpretations of Lucifer there is, we should all look at Lucifer's value in the occult and pagan community. I have personally seen Lucifer heal the religious trauma of many people, myself included. Giving us a chance to work and move past negative emotions or associations. I have heard many say that Lucifer feels like a father figure, and that they feel protected. If this spirit is making people feel protected and giving them aspects of life that they did not have before - this alone makes this spirit's worth invaluable.

Despite what motif you attribute to this spirit of light, one thing remains true - He promotes a balancing of energy. Masculinity and Femininity, Strength and Softness, Emotional and Logical, this balance permeates all aspects of life and promotes an equal and thought-out view of your surrounding situation. To me, this is someone worth worship, someone worthy of guiding me.

If you have information you would like to share on the origins of Lucifer please make a comment and source your posts, I make no effort to speak from authority and recognize that i do not know everything there is to know. If there is something that needs to be known, then it should be known!

New video in which Michael W. Ford focuses on a key significant foundation of the Luciferian Grimoire, "Whispers of the Jinn - Arabic Black Magic" with the guidance of Iblis, the Black Flame, Sihr, and the intermediate realm of the Imaginal that is between the spiritual and material realms. The guides of Smokeless Fire, the inspiring whispers and the Gift of Azāzīl (Iblis), the Black Flame, are discussed from a Luciferian Philosophical perspective.

This video provides a detailed exploration of the relationship between the jinn and the imaginal realm within the framework of Luciferian philosophy. The imaginal realm acts as a crucial bridge between the celestial world of pure spirit and the terrestrial realm of material reality. Jinn, as spirits of smokeless fire, are intrinsically tied to this realm, inhabiting and shaping its landscapes while influencing the human mind through its subtle energies.

The Black Flame, gifted to humanity by Azazel (Iblīs), allows humans to tap into the imaginal realm and harness its power. This flame represents self-awareness and the potential for liberation, enabling individuals to connect with their inner Daemon (Qarīn) and interact with the jinn. It is through the imaginal realm that the Luciferian sorcerer can perform Sihr, influencing the material world through the manipulation of subtle energies.

The imaginal realm serves as a conduit for the jinn to inspire and guide individuals towards self-discovery and the attainment of their True Will. This can manifest through dreams, visions, and intuitive insights, allowing the jinn to communicate their wisdom and knowledge.

Hello, witch here.🙋🏻‍♀️

Firstly, I’d like to say I have nothing against luciferianism or similar beliefs, nor the people who practice these beliefs. I simply do not share it all the way, but I do respect other ppls beliefs. Secondly, before I actually describe the situation I’d like advice on at length, I want to ask if this is the right place to be asking for protection advice when it comes to practising luciferianism? In short, my dilemma concerns a friend of mine who seems to be in need of better protection/guards in order for them to practice (and frankly live their life) safely. So before I go into further detail I’d like to know if this is the right place to ask for protection advice, or if I should look elsewhere?

EDIT: I forgot to mention, this dilemma also has to do with suspicions of a slightly toxic relationship (which I fear my friend is currently in with their partner), and with luciferianism - in this case(!) - being used as a mean to ”control” my friend in certain matters (their partner is more a experienced practitioner).

Thanks in advance :)

I felt something very strange now..I felt a shiver or more tingling on my left cheek, I was nervous because an ex-friend of mine that I reconnected on insta to clarify an argument continued to want to act like a "lady of revenge" daring to say my personal business on a notebook where I write down everything about Luciferianism since I'm still learning,

And she was saying this like she was spying on me and I was really nervous. Now s I'm in my bed and I felt this sudden tingling on my cheek, is lucifer caressing or touching my cheek? Because otherwise I can't explain myself

Just wonder what other incense, smells, does lucifer like. I like all scents and incense is that ok or do I need to stick to the basics?

I want to make an altar for him but how I have to do? And what to put on the altar?

I'm new to Luciferianism, I've done my research but I'm still slightly confused being 17 I've made up my mind and it's not changing but can someone please explain it to me in a simple and understandable way.

Please help me to evoke or invoke Father Lucifer because I am feeling firm attraction towards Father Lucifer in recent times. But I never knew about occult or LHP please help me in this regard because I am feeling, I have a relation with Father Lucifer.

Lucifer studies you first and then decides to appear: what does it mean? I've been trying to contact Lucifer for a while but I still can't, I was told that he studies you first then appears and decides when to appear, what does this mean?
