    You know for such a maligned being, his only sin was pride. That he felt he was equal to God. After his fall he bacame Satan which translated means "adversary". Funny that every single thing that goes wrong with human beings is attributed to a spirit that merely had a big ego.

    Interesting article though. Blavatsky was way cool. Crowlelanity and the AA/OTO are moronic. DON'T SAY "I" OR YOU MUST CUT YOURSELF" I could spend a week dissecting that.

      I don't see how lucifer's ego or pride, could be any bigger than that of any "man". Men walk around acting like "Gods" all the time.

      swaz perhaps you do not understand the purpose of the " don't say i or you must cut yourself ritual" i did not understand this exersize to be specificallly directed to the annilihation of the ego, but more towards the trining of the mind and the stranghining of the will. you could choose any word you wanted, if you are against the cutting, you could use a rubber band around the wrist.
      i think to say the aa and the oto are moronic is well..kind of moronic. yes they are magick geeks.i am not currently involved with that group, but there are plenty of interesting teachings and exersizes in magick in theory and pratice.
      could you really spend a week dissecting that ritual, or is it easier to just call someone a moron and write somthing off as stupid that you don't understand?
      lucifer=bringer of light.
      dissect that while you are at it.

      I can't believe the ego on God, to persecute Lucifer like that. God should be ashamed of herself! This proved that handsome, intelligent beings can be marginalized.

        Oh... haven't you heard? Lucifer is the savior. He's the one who's on mankind's side. People have gotten it wrong for years and the god of abraham is the bad guy. He's the one who lies and brings plagues and stuff.

        God is not a nice guy. Lucifer wants to bring power to the people like Prometheus stealing fire from the gods to comfort mankind.

        :-). Fire, meet gasoline. No decoder ring needed.

    I don't think that first quote on the page by Sister Blavatsky, was intended to attribute any greatness or glory to evil, it's probably taken out of context. I think what's happening there is the she understands the archetype and is putting it in a format that her audience understands. Really, the outcome of understanding the destructive forces of nature and our own actions will guide us away from fear. Not fearing evil or vile things is probably healthy, it empowers us to make our own choice for good. The statement, espescially the part of intellectual independence for humanity is really insightful. Organized religion has often tried to limit our intellectual and spiritual freedom. Satan has been blamed for humanity's expansive pursuits in an attempt to instill a distaste for personal growth.

      Yes you are right. Not fearing evil cancels out its power.

      One thing is my anscestral language (Cree) there is NO word for "I".

      About Lucifer:

      People become transfixed with Luicferian energy namely because of the dimmented corruption of organized religion; Catholic etc... (who had no idea that Jesus was an avatar, mystic, astrologer, medicine man and very well versed in laws of the emerald seals initiated into the great pyramids and sacred universal laws.)

      Another reason people are brainwashed into the Luciferien order is that it is energetically percieved as a high order as you will see in this short example of one who is initiated into the powers of Lucifer below:

      Black Witchcraft

      The Foundations of the Luciferian Path
      By Michael W. Ford

      The nature of 'Skir-hand' Witchcraft in the ancient and modern world is of anti-nature, or rather the word “Antinomian” is a greek form meaning “against the law”. This word makes reference to rebellion from a structure or spiritual design of the masses, the majority and whatever the current ideological mainstream may be at that time. Witchcraft, no matter for what intent or form, has always stood outside any conventional acceptance within society – either by the religious hierarchy (even though it keeps their organizations called Church together and making money) or even governmental ones. To provide a distinct understanding of Luciferian Witchcraft from which I am an initiate of, I must write directly of experience and the vision which all initiates, past, present or secret, have brought to the current and how it manifests today. No longer should those of Luciferian nature be forced to denounce the darkness inherent within us all; witchcraft as with the human or daemonic spirit is both dual natured, light and shadow, bestial and angelic, ad infinitum.

      The word ‘Black’ within the context of writing here is in reference to the hidden nature of the Sinister Craft, it is both the depths of initiation which runs deep in our souls, and the future possibility by the atavistic urges which may be harnessed into powerful tools of refining and strengthening our consciousness. The Order of Phosphorus is an initiatory guild of practitioners of sorcery from a Left Hand Path point of view. The word ‘Black’ is described by Idries Shah as being identified with the sound of FHM in the Arabic tongue, which is ‘black’ meaning ‘wise’ and equally with ‘understanding’. Shah writes further that black holds a connection with hidden wisdom, thus the phrase, “Dar tariki, tariqat” which means “In the Darkness, the Path”. The Order of Phosphorus is symbolic of fire illuminated from clay, of light emerging from darkness. The magicians and witches of this 'Skir-hand' Guild are equally focused on not only low sorcery, but utilizing the hidden nature of darkness to reveal Light within themselves. Here we find the foundation and essence of Baphomet, the Father of Wisdom. The Sabbatic God is both the union of the Beast and the Whore, Ahriman (Satan, Samael) and Az (Lilith, Babalon) which beget Cain (by the circle of Leviathan, the Serpent of the Depths). An initiatory image of Cain as Baphomet (by Soror Lilitu Azhdeha) may be found in “The Book of Cain” and represents the Black Lord of the Sabbat as a form of the Adversary.

      A representation of this path may be found in my publications, “Luciferian Witchcraft: A Book of the Serpent” which contains the grimoires “Book of Cain”, “Goetic Sorcery”, “Yatuk Dinoih”, “Nox Umbra”, “The Paitisha”, “Azothoz”, “Vox Sabbatum” and much more. The infamous “Book of the Witch Moon” also has presented a foundation for the darker aspects of sorcery and vampirism, which Aleister Crowley alludes to in “De Arte Magica”. The reader who holds interest in the provenance of the Witches Sabbat in consideration of the Luciferic gnosis referred to in this article may have recourse material to seek in the aforementioned titles as well as works by Kenneth Grant who continued the Initiatic work of Crowley and Spare from the 1950’s onward.

      ....and blah blah blah....

      .....in techniques of black magic... one weapon used against your enemy is the principle of encouraging faults and troubles rather than trying to counter whats good in them..

      It is by virtue of "love" that TRUE power manifests... to be conscious of every living thing and especially your own life, body, mind-soul.... in much respect and dignity.

      Peace

        Q'yin: so you don't believe in the skir-hand way? I thought the only thing black about it was that it dealt with the dark side and intent is what it is all about. I'm full of head knowledge but am lacking in real practical hands on. I thought that lucifer is the god of this world and that we need to know how to handle the energy.

    I can see you know little of World Religions and of God

    I know by your writing that you must have NEVER belonged, and if you did you did not have the mental equivalence to appreciate or understand ITS truths. Freemasonrywatch is FULL of half truths, and false premises.

    We are told not to defend something that needs no defense. I am glad men like you do not belong!
    • Re: Lucifer

      Fri, August 19, 2005 - 5:44 AM
      I agree Freemasonrywatch is worthless. When reading it, it almost seems as if it was written by someone who wants information to be distorted, while claiming to wear the badge of truthful exposition.

      I have been studying and researching mystical ideas(dogma, practice, people, etc) for some time now, and I try to look at everything as unbiased as I can.

      Thus far, from what I have gleaned, it seems that you have to choose between self and non-self.

      Those who choose self..choose to gratify there ego...seeking power in whatever form it may take.

      Those who choose non-self..deny the demands of ego and choose to benefit the greater good of humanity in whatever form that may take.

      Finally let me say:

      Judeo-Christian and Islamic religions, Lucifer is the name of "God's" highest archangel. The Morning Star, the Bringer of Light.
      Not until Lucifer's ego takes control of him, is he cast from Heaven, and deemed accursed, Satan.
      Please take this myth and try and understand it in a metaphorical sense.

        The funny thing is lucifer serves you to create a lesson, the choice is yours. Learn positive lesson or negative.

        The power of evil only has power if you give it.

        The real power is from Good.

        In many ways the devil must have chose to help God, and we being in the world of ignorance, thought he/she was here to hurt us. Evil spirits are all around you, but they have no real power. Where is the Devil in the Old Testament that is created to control man in the new testament?

        But nothing can hurt you unless you give it power, now a knife in your back from another human, that is real!

          Fri, August 26, 2005 - 10:26 PM
          the distinction between good and evil only holds water if you allow it.

          all mythic stories have somthing to teach us. whether you choose to learn from all of them or not is your choice, and the lesson you receive is dependent on your attitude towards them.

          I could just as easily say that the real power is from evil, and good is a sham, and I'd have a billion examples to prove my point, but I won't because I don't actually believe that. good and evil are human constructs. the mother cat that protects her kittens is the same one that slaughters animals to feed them, and does not think of things in such terms.

          if you are interested in an approach to the devil that I respect in it's use of the parable as a multidimensional teaching story, I suggest looking into the various Sufi takes on Iblis.

            i agree with saul as that has been my experience with this dynamic. my experience with good and evil/duality turned out to be a lesson in unity and varying degrees of light- sometimes the darkness outshines the light, in an odd sense. (and lucifer was present, as ever.)

      I just read a book over the summer called: The History of Lucifer. I forget the author off-hand, but it is probably easy to find. Lucifer does mean light-bearer and the book propounds the Lucifer and Satan are two different entities. It also discusses Lucifer from Jesus' time throughout the witch hunts very thoroughly. In addition, a theory of the book is that Lucifer is/was a woman. Very interesting.

    It is interesting that Lucifer did not exist in the Bible until the King James version and then it is only used in reference to the star of the morning, which is Venus. If you have studied the "brotherhood's" symbolism as in depth as I have, you will have found that the majority of the symbols refer to Venus. The Shell and the Pentagram of Shell and Texaco are two examples. I have a TV show called the Freeman Perspective thefreemanperspective.blogspot.com/ Here in Austin we have an abundance of symbolism. Much like the District of Columbia, we have a phallus(the clock tower) due north of the capital dome, on which, stands Columbia holding a pentagram. In between the breast(dome) and the phallus stands a statue of Columbia with angel wings on a boat being drawn by fish-men riding fish-horses. To Columbia's left is pentagram and to her right, a shell; symbols of Venus/Lucifer. Never in the Bible is the name Lucifer connected with Satan. This story comes from the priests. Speaking of priests, the Harry Ransom Center, which is next to the statue of Columbia, houses the hand-written work of Crowley, "The Book of the Law". You should definitely check out my film on Columbia and listen to an interview I did with Michael Tsarion.
