LUCIFER
Tumblr media
WHO IS HE?
In Demonic culture, Lucifer is often described as a fallen angel who was cast out of heaven, he is also described as the ruler of Hell, and the Prince of the demons. He is often seen as a symbol of the light bringer, the keeper of secrets and knowledge, and the ruler of the underworld. His followers are often referred to as "Luciferians" or "Luciferians," a term that has been used to describe a wide variety of secret societies and mystery cults. Lucifer is seen as a powerful and dominant entity, and he is associated with mischief, rebellion, and chaos.
BASIC INFO:
Appearance: Lucifer is described in many different ways in Demonic culture. The specific characteristics and appearance of Lucifer can vary greatly, depending on the source and cultural context. Some descriptions of Lucifer depict him as a beautiful and angelic being, while others describe him as a terrifying and demonic entity.
In many Western traditions, Lucifer is seen as a fallen angel, though his appearance in these representations can vary greatly. Some common portrayals of him include that of a winged figure, with red horns and a tail, or as a very beautiful and angelic-looking character.
Personality: Lucifer is nothing if not charming. He’s a protector first and foremost - one that always works to help you better yourself, but a protector nonetheless. He feels like a protective older brother taking care of you while your parents are away. He is a very complex entity, deeply wise and eloquent. He is more serious than one might expect for a demon given their popular depictions in our culture as chaotic forces of evil, but Lucifer is full of courage and love. I often feel him with me even when I’m not doing things related to him. He is proud of his follower’s accomplishments and congratulates them on a job well done, though he also reminds them that the job is never truly over. Growth is constant, Lucifer is the epitome of growth, blunt and gentle at the same time, telling you what you need to do and giving you space to figure out how to do it. 
Lucifer values resilience, the pursuit of self-betterment, intellectualism, courage, open-mindedness and responsibility in individuals and wants to see his followers develop these qualities. He is constantly rooting for you to reach your full potential. He won’t hold your hand the entire way, but he will help you take steps in the right direction. Lucifer, like all deities, is different for everyone and will adjust his approach depending on your needs.

Cephalus and Procris, c. 1680s, by Godfried Schalcken (1643-1706)
The tale of two lovers, tragically fated due to the interference of gods.
"Diana, goddess of hunting, gave the huntsman Cephalus a magic dog and spear. Later, Aurora, goddess of dawn, fell in love with the mortal Cephalus and tried to seduce him. He thought only of his wife Procris, however, and rejected her.
Procris feared that Cephalus had been unfaithful and hid in the woods to spy on him while he was hunting. Mistaking the noise she made for that of a wild animal, Cephalus threw his spear and killed her." - National Gallery

Found something interesting
Ok so you guys know how the most popular fan theory that’s widely accepted as canon is that Gabriel/the False Prophet is the devil and the alternates are demons/demonic in nature?
Well, I was just reading the Wikipedia page for Lucifer, one of the names given to the Christian devil, and it says before the name was absorbed into Christianity as a name for the devil, it was a name for a Roman god.
Tumblr media
In Roman myth/folklore, Lucifer was the name given to the planet Venus and was personified as male. He was the son of the goddess Aurora and god Cephalus.
Tumblr media
He also had his own son, called Ceyx.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
...Who’s name, according to Google translate anyway, is pronounced similar to the word
Six
Tumblr media
Ok yeah, it’s a reach and probably a complete coincidence, but I thought it was a pretty neat thing.
