Luciferian Prayer Before Studying
Lucifer, Serpent of Old, Prince of the power of the air, Oh, Morningstar, the one who Sparks the bright flames of intellect!
You are the Bringer of Knowledge And the Guide of those who seek it. Be with me as I study.
Bless my mind - may it be free of distractions. Bless my thoughts - may I understand. Bless my memory - may I remember.

Please pray for Poland and the people here, especially the oppressed minorities. There will be parliament elections on Sunday, currently we're ruled by an authoritarian right-wing party and things are only getting worse and worse. An actual fascist party is also gaining popularity. These elections are extremely important for the future of Poland, because the ruling party is destroying democratic institutions and we don't know how the next elections will look like if they win.
And please reblog so more people can see it.
🇵🇱 🏳️‍🌈 🏳️‍⚧️

The Name of Lucifer
Tumblr media
Always Rising
The passage in Isaiah that became associated with the fallen angel speaks of the bright Morningstar explicitly as a Fallen Star as well, fallen due to his pride that led him to rise against God himself. The fragment is explicitly not about our Lucifer - but this is essentially how he's seen in Christianity (and where the Isaiah association generally ends).
Challenging God is something that certainly demands extraordinary courage. The consequences Lucifer suffered were painful. And yet, the dawn always rises again, and so does the Morningstar, persistent and unbroken. Thus, Lucifer's name can be linked to those qualities, as well as to hope, rebirth and new beginnings.
The Star of Venus
As the church considered it sinful, sex became naturally associated with Lucifer. Later, when the Romantic Satanists began to reclaim his and Satan's symbolism - whether treating them separately or as one entity - they reevaluated this association more positively.
The reason why I'm talking about it here is that it coincides perfectly with the Morningstar being the planet Venus in both astrology and various religions connected with love and eroticism.
In my experience, the planet's association with various kinds of love, not just romantic and sexual, mirrors Lucifer's nature as well.
Light of Intellect
Lucifer is, of course, also a spirit of intellect whose light can be understood in connection to that as well. As the Serpent and ever further, they are encouraging us to question, to practice critical thinking, to learn and reflect.
Light of Gnosis
Not necessarily about Gnosticism, gnosis is spiritual knowledge acquired in personal experience. It is subjective, of course, but beautiful. In a more spiritual interpretation of the Eden myth, the knowledge Lucifer the Serpent opens the way to is gnosis.
Note - you might have heard the term UPG. In the spiritual context, it stands for unverified personal gnosis. While, in my opinion, personal gnosis would be enough - it's always unverified, in the end - the term helps us coexist while understanding things in our own ways.
The Warmth
There's another, deeply personal way I've experienced the light Lucifer brings - the light of comfort that shines in the dark, the sweet flame warming me when I need support.
Tumblr media
There are certainly more ways you can interpret Lucifer's name! Do you have your own?

Having sensory issues with taste is not a moral failure.
It doesn't make anyone ungrateful or uncivil, and also it doesn't make an adult person childlish. Stop being fucking ableists, me not eating what you eat or offer is not a personal offense.

To the Rainbow Lucifer
Lucifer of the Rainbow, Lucifer, Meadow Dancer!
I see you in flowers, And in the rosy-orange sky When the Sun is rising - The Sun, your other shining face, Oh, sweet Morningstar.
I see you in grass, In brave city dandelions And even at night, In the Moon's colours, subtly changing.
Fallen, you never lost your beauty, Lucifer, Rainbow of This World.

A quick reminder that you can still be a great Satanist or Luciferian if you don't like/want sex!
Yes, in our religions (consexual) sexual pleasure is celebrated, but Satan and Lucifer also stand for freedom, for understanding yourself and choosing your own path.
You don't want sex? You're sex-repulsed asexual or want to remain celibate for any other reason? Great! It's your own expression of sexual freedom, beautiful and valid.

A Hekatean Spell for Body Pain
This spell calls upon Hekate as Soteira - the Saviour, Einalia - of the Sea and Kratais - the Mighty or the Rocky, an epithet also connected to the sea. I've created it to deal better with my chronic pain, and I hope it can help some of you as well.
Tumblr media
Take a warm shower or at least wash your hands and face. If you cannot, lie down somewhere comfortable. Whatever you do, imagine water washing away your pain and filling you with strength to go. Try to not just visualize, but invoke the feeling. Engage your inner senses as much as you can in this act. Begin chanting:
Hekate, Hekate, Hekate,
Soteira, come to my aid.
Hekate, Hekate, Hekate,
Einalia, give me relief.
Hekate, Hekate, Hekate,
Kratais, come, send me your strength.
Chant - doing so, continue calling upon your imagination and, unless you really cannot use physical water, to wash yourself - as long as you find appropriate. When you feel better, say thank you.

People will use Mesopotamian paganisms as an argument why Lilith is not closed and then conceptualize her in a way that appropriates specifically Jewish lore (and mostly one specific midrash that isn't even that old).
Lilth (supposedly!) being a part of Mesopotamian demonology is just an excuse here.
Like. Idk how to tell you that none of the Mesopotamian demons historically associated with Lilith was ever a rebellious wife of Adam and then in relationship with Asmodeus or Samael (nor Lucifer when people choose to apply culturally Christian lenses and bring him into it...).
The only common Mesopotamian element of modern Lilith worship is the Burney Relief and the idea that it depicts Lilith is an old debunked theory.

10 Casual Ways to Connect with...
Beelzebub
Tumblr media
Be kind to bugs and other little creatures.
Learn about nature, including its "ugly" or "scary" aspects. And, of course, explore entomology - dipterology (study of flies) especially. It's fun!
Make food, both for yourself and others.
Ask her to bless what you eat.
Go mushrooming (safely and with care for the environment). Take time to appreciate the fungi.
Or simply spend time outside. Touch the soil, especially when it's damp. If you can, take a walk.
Celebrate Halloween - the fun of it can help you be less afraid of thinking about death (which can also open the way for more serious practices).
Visit an insectarium (don't support the unethical ones, of course).
Look for bugs who live with you and learn more about them. Most are completely harmless for humans, and more so, diversity helps to keep the few actually harmful to us in check. Never Home Alone by Rob Dunn is a fun book about your little roommates - and their importance.
Celebrate things labelled as freakish and ugly - including those parts of yourself!
